Head left. The Avalanche members will be fighting atop the power generator you first saw when you arrived at the base. After Wedge plummets to the ground, save your game at the Save Point and talk to the man on the left if you need to buy items. Climb up the stairs and you'll meet Barett, who is firing at the Shinra helicopter you saw back at the plant. The same man who attacked Aeris in the cathedral will jump out, and you'll have to fight him. Good thing Barett joins you. When you inflict enough damage, the boss runs away! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOSS TIPS: RENO LV: 17 HP: 1000 MP: 0 This guy packs a wallop. He can imprison your friends using his Pyramid attack, and if he does this to all your members, you lose. To break the pyramids, attack your allies (they won't be damaged). Watch for his spark bolt attack (which can paralyze you) and use your Limit Breaks whenever possible. Fire works well on him. For some players, this may be the first battle they lose! You'll get an Ether for scaring him off should you win. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- With this fight out of the way, the team attampts to stop the bomb, but to no avail. Tseng of the Turks takes a moment to taunt the team from the safety of his helicopter, and shows off his latest catch-Aeris. There's nothing the team can do now but safely escape the blast.
