The Sewers and the Train Graveyard


Items in this area:
Potion x4
Phoenix Down
Steal materia
Hi Potion x3 
Echo Screen 
Ether x2


Once the cut scene with the Shinra flunkies ends, you'll find yourself in a sewer. Before talking to Tifa or Aeris, climb up the stairs to the south and go along the walkway to nab a Potion. Before you can escape, a blue monster attacks your party. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOSS TIPS: APS LV: 18 HP: 1800 MP: 0 His sewer tsunami attack hurts all members, so use Potions and Recovery Materia to heal your wounds. Luckily, the dark wave will damage the big blue guy, too (he uses this attack as a counterattack before dying if he can manage it). When he does the reverse dark wave, it causes less damage to him. Flame spells work the best on him. Use Cloud's Limit Break to harm the boss and use Aeris' Limit Break to heal yourselves. You'll receive a Phoenix Down for winning the battle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Climb up the ladder and head right. Go down into the sewage, then up the stairs. Grab the Yellow Materia (Steal) and go down the hatch. In the next room, go down the stairs, then climb up the side of the curved structure. Climb up the ladder and you'll go outside. There's a Save Point here and an item on top of the nearby train car. Check out the oil drum by entering the train car (near the Save Point) to get a Hi Potion. Get another Hi Potion on the roof of adjacent car, then hop off onto the iron beam and check the oil drum to the north for a Echo Screen. Walk right, then south and enter the nearby train car to get a Potion. Climb up the ladder, head north, and climb down again. Go north once more through the train car then exit to your left to find a second Potion. Then go north to arrive at the next screen. Here, circle left around the car to get a Potion. Keep going left to find an oil can with an Ether inside of it. Hop on the train to move the other car out of the way. Climb atop the formerly blocked car to net a Hi Potion. Now, ride the other train back backwards, climb onto the eastern train car, jump onto the train you just moved, and climb across it and the last car before going down the ladder to get back to the front part of the Avalanche train yard.
