City of the Ancients
Items:
Guard Source, "Enemy Skill" Materia, Elixir, Magic Source, Aurora Armlet, "Comet" Materia
Rest:
Ancient Home ....... Free
There are three roads at the entrance to the city. Explore the two outside paths before venturing down the center.
Down the right path, you'll find a Guard Source, "Enemy SKill" Materia, and an Elixir. There's also a place to rest for free. Down the left path, you'll find a Magic Source, an Aurora Armlet, and a Save Point. Take a look around and settle in for the night.
Cloud awakens the teams in the middle of the night, because he can hear Aeris' voice calling from the sky. Take the center path back to find a huge shell house. Grab the "Comet" Materia from the top of the house before exploring the path in the middle.
Below the house is a beautiful, crystalline city. Aeris is in the middle of the city, completely silent and locked in prayer. Cloud approaches her and immediately her begins to freak out. There's nothing you can do here, because every action threatens Aeris' life. Sephiroth once again demonstrates his ability to manipulate Cloud. Your outehr party members can stop him from killing Aeris, but Sephiroth is more than willing to do his own dirty work. Aeris slumps to the floor and her White Materia falls to the waters below.
Not that Aeris is dead, Sephiroth files away for the Promise Land, but he leaves another Jenova creature for Cloud to deal with.
Boss Fight: Jenova-LIFE
Equip Cloud with the Water Ring because Jenova-LIFE's attack are all water-based, which essentially makes Cloud invincible. Set up MBarrier to weaken its attacks against the rest of the party and cast Haste to speed up everyone else. While Cloud pounds away at Jenova-LIFE with his sword, have the rest of your team use Quake 2 or 3 depending on your own experience.
Warning:
Jenova-LIFE will cast Reflict occasionally. If it does, cast DeBarrier to destroy its protection.
With MBarrier in effect, your Cure spell won't be as effective. You can cast Regen on the group for a more efficient healing process. Should you allies succumb to Jenova-LIFE's water attacks, wait until it runs out of skill power, then you can safely revive them without fear of losing them again. You receive a Wizard Barcelet after the battle
Note:
If you're wearing the "Enemy Skill" Materia, you can learn Jenova-LIFE 's Aqualung attack.
With the threat destroyed and Sephiroth gone, out hearoes pay their past respects to Aeris and set her body to rest. The tam is now full of new [urpose. What Sephiroth may claim to be his ultimate vistory, may be his ultimate mistake.
