The boat departs without a hitch. Thought you were alone, huh? You'll soon learn that entire team has sneaked onboard. Locate them all and collect any items along the way. If you can't find Barret, check the front of the boat. You'll find him trying to eavesdrop on Rufus and Heidegger. The longer you talk to him, the more seems like he might get out of control. But then an alarm sounds! Sephiroth must be onboard! Organize your party and get down to the cargo hold.
It must be Sephiroth, because most of the crew is either dead or dying. Those who aren't are out to kill anything that isn't wearing a Shinra uniform... and that means you!
Note:
Shinra Marines are carrying a piece of armor called Shinra Beta. It's a decent piece of armor and well worth stealing.
In the back of the boat it's more of the same. Also, don't forget to pick up the Wind Slash. Approaching the standing guard prompts Sephiroth's appearance. He looks the same, but he's obviously more powerful than ever. Sephiroth beats a hasty retreat and leaves the team with a nasty surprise.
Boss Fight: Jenova - BIRTH
Although this is a pretty straightforward fight, keep in mind that Jenova is considerably more powerful than you. Its Tail Laser is its strongest attack and can easily knock down each of your fighters by about 200 HPs (400 if it does it twice in a row). Jenova can also tip the odds in its favor by casting Stop on one of your character.
Use your most powerful spells and Limit Breaks against it. The enemy skill Flame-thrower is particularly effective during this battle, but only if you learned it in the Mythril Mines. Also, use your Summon Materia to cause some serious damage to Jenova with solid hits from "Choco/Mog" and "Shiva". Defeat Jenova and you'll receive a White Cape.
It looks like Sephiroth may be preparing to take over the planet. If Jenova is alive and Sephiroth's power has grown, this could be a really long fight.
Costa del Sol is quickly approaching. Grab the "Ifrit" Materia left behind by Jenova and return to the dock.
