Mastered the game. Got everything. Sad part is it gets boring. Fun part is just streaming through without too much level grinding. Makes the game harder and more interesting

You can actually get the Shinra Alpha at any time by returning to the airport space where you first see the high wind, there are Elite Class Shinra soldiers there and you can steal as many Shinra Alphas as you want.
Seeing videos like this being done in 2018 just shows you the actual depth this game has, this is why this is my favorite game ever. Thanks for the share, can't believe I'm still learning tons of stuff about ff7 25 yrs later.
One thing you didn't mention about the Cursed Ring is that the Death Sentence effect can actually be a positive -- if you have Tifa's Powersoul weapon, which you get right before Materia Keeper, having Death Sentence quadruples the power of the weapon. When combined with being on yellow HP which doubles the power again, it becomes one of the most powerful weapons in the game.
By "on yellow HP", I assume you mean that it only doubles the weapon's power if you are under 30% (or is it 20%?) or your max HP. Is that correct ? Also, are your damages *reduced* if you're at full HP, or is Tifa just dealing normal ones ?
And finally, are you *_that_* Alex Jones ?! (what am I saying? Of *_COURSE_* he is the real Alex Jones. The man is unemployed now! He's got plenty of free time on his hands!)
I'm not sure what the percentage is, but it's somewhere around 20-30% most likely, all I know is that the HP display turns yellow. And yes, when that happens, it doubles Tifa's attack when using the Powersoul weapon. There's no debuff for being at full HP and no statuses, but I think Powersoul's base attack is low relative to some other weapons you can get around that time. And, uh... you'll have to guess.
Right now I am playing a semi-perfect FF7 run. I refuse to grind for 15840 gils just to buy 99x iron bangle! That is why it is semi-perfect not perfect, but it is good enough for me. XPPP I also wanna say as someone who once played semi-perfect FF8 run, that FF7 perfect game is much more fun than FF8 perfect game. FF8 perfect game is so painful unlike FF7. X(( I don't dare to try FF9 perfect game.
Hello again! My update on my previous comment: I had reached Disc 3 and obtained W-Item Materia, then I discovered a more elaborate form of the W-Item glitch: W-Item + enemy steal. It is very luck-dependent, and there is no reliable way to select the item for duplication, nevertheless it is very useful when successful. With this method I managed to max out my iron bangle inventory. And I didn't stop there; I maxed out also my inventory of Umbrella / Mystile / Warrior Bangle / Rising Sun / Reflect Ring / Sneak Glove / etc! Sigh, I never had to buy 3x Iron Bangle back in Disc 1 after all. I should have just bought only 1x Iron Bangle, and then I should wait until Disc 3 when this W-Item glitch is available. When I was preparing to duplicate my Iron Bangle, I actually had to sell off 2x (out of 3x) of my Iron Bangle! Otherwise the duplication glitch can't work. Similarly I had to sell off 9x (out of 10x) of my Shinra Beta. All that grinding back in the Cargo Ship in Disc 1 for Shinra Beta turned out to be a waste of time! X((
it's not exactly rare, just missable. if you have somebody in your party that has enemy skill equipped, then chances are you will get it from the first dragon zombie you fight (since it uses the attack right before dying).
Wanna know a broken combo?? Give Tifa the power soul. Equip her with any armlet and give her the curse ring, in her armour materia slot, your gonna wanna give her the Destruct materia and an added effect materia, both next to each other (MUST BE CONNECTED MATERIA SLOT!!!) and watch the damage roll
Personally, I like the Escort Gaurd armor over the zeitrich. It has six slots, good stats, and nulifies lighting, water, poison, and earth damage. Getting multiple copies are a bit tricky though, but its very helpful for the arena fights. Pair this with a ribbon and some crazy materia combos (Ex: Added effect+hades or choco on weapon) and you can have a very hard to kill character.
Pandora's Box: You'll only ever encounter the Dragon Zombie once in the Northern Crater (unless you're on your way to Jenova at the end). It will cast Pandora's Box before it dies so kill it as quickly as you can. If it does not have enough MP, it will not cast, and you will not get the enemy skill. Do not try and use Ethers on it (I did this) as it is an undead enemy and it will take MP damage from the Ethers.
I would say that the easiest to miss is Barret's Ultimate weapon. It's in the staircase before Hogo boss fight at the end of disc 2. You only go there once and you need to have Barret in your Party to have the treasure chest appear. My last play through, it was the only thing I missed! I'm happy with only one full enemy-skill materia... not necessarily all four...
@@laneface new threat b is actually hella lit during the sephiroth flashback you can unequip the flashback materia and then have hella lit maxed new materia early on
This is a great video for tracking missables! Thanks! There's only one thing that I caught that you got wrong - you don't actually have to level the Destruct materia up to get the Death effect from the Added Effect materia. This applies to all materia. You can get the frog effect from an unlevelled Transform materia as well, for example. So, while Hades would be a better choice, you could get a "Ribbon-lite" effect from putting Contain=Added Effect on your armour, gaining resistance to Stop, Confuse, and Petrify, even if the Contain materia is unlevelled.
That Dragon in the ass zombie took me half hour to get Shadow Flare & pandora box in all 4 enemy skills in one battle. Real pain is Dragon Zombie has very low mp and Zombie type creature that restoration mp will cut mp off instead. I got by using Reflect on Dragon Zombie then Magic hammer him and it reflect back to me so the Dragon can get MP
@@adammclaughlin845 yeah, I’ve done this when I grind for my completion save file. Put all 4 enemy skill on Cloud then hope Dragon use both Shadow flare and Pandora on Cloud.
Some of those Enemy Skills are the only way to beat this dang game without overwhelming difficulty. Keep up your MP and nearly every major boss fight in the game is almost a breeze.
That's not quite right. You get Circlets in air battles and Reflect Rings in ground battles, with the exception of the story ground battle in Mideel. That is the only chance to steal the Curse Ring from Ultima Weapon.
About Curse Ring other than put Contain-Added Effect in your armor you also can put Odin Summon-Added Effect to counter the effect as Odin is a Death Elemental summon.
yes but if pairing with tifas powersoul you dont get the bonus so what you want to do is cast death force or final attack revive on her to keep the chain of max damage especially early on, and if you use final attack revive but only have life1 you can ensure she is doing optimal damage
Waow! Never knew there was a 2nd way to get the Curse Ring... 25 years later, and I'm still learning!! Thanks dudo 👌🏻 Confused though- what's so special about Iron Bangles? 🤔 My 2 Cents- the Circlet. To the best of my knowledge, you can only get it from the Gigas enemy, during Disc 2, when you're heading to Sephiroth/The WEAPONS awakening, at the North Cave. Gigas' appear rarely, and this is the only time you can get it.
7:50 the death sentence from Curse Ring can be evaded in three ways: 1: Destruct w/added effect, as you have 2: Elemental with Odin on armor; 3: Wear a ribbon.
The Dragon Zombie casts Pandora's Box when it runs out of HP so as long as you kill it fast enough it won't expend its MP and it will be able to cast it. You just need to make sure all four Enemy Skill materia are equipped because it can only use that skill once in the entire game.
how can you not even mention barrets ultimate weapon that only appears on the way to the final hojo battle and only if you have barrett in your team? thats a real curveball and really pissed me off when i found out missed that.
you can also find shinra beta in the raid on shinra HQ wile you are heading up the floors. Seems there is a easy way to get pandoras box without having to wait for the rng to kick in, seems you just have to tose them an elixir so zombie dragon die instantly and it will cast pandoras as a final insult. you can try with a phoenix down, but with an elixir it guaranties it will have the mp to cast it.
the enemy gauntlet right before jenova can spawn dragon zombies, and it's possible to go all the way down the northern crater without fighting one until that point. that's probably why you remember- hell, you may have even used it on jenova yourself after acquiring the move.
7:52 "Just make sure Destruct has Death unlocked." This isn't true of this or any materia. Added Effect and Elemental materia both always pair with all unlocked and locked effects of the materia they are paired with.
Are all your "Top 10 Rarest..." series info/acquirable stuff included in your "Perfect Walkthrough" series? I forget if Behemoth Horn was in your perfect walkthrough.
behemoth horn is def in a perfect walkthrough, just because it isnt in some stratedgy guides doesnt mean it doesnt count, if you can obtain it, its required, also if playing a digital copy its good to make multiple saves so you can get the various diff key items in wall market and after you rescue aerith talk to the guy in the console and he will give you a useless keycard but its obtainable and missable but yeah everything you can obtain/level up is required for perfect run, INCLUDING MASTERING UNDERWATER MATERIA always made me salty there was no huge independent materia but there was one for summon magic and command, as well as support even if that wasnt obtainable to equip and that master command didnt allow you to have EVERY command i always figured a perfevt run required you to have 9 copies of every master materia and all weapons/armor/accessories for each character as well as maxxing them out and getting their lv4 limit so having aeris equiped with a multiobtainable weapon like strike staff so you can have a copy of each of her weapons in your inventory and on pc using yuffie warp to use witem glitch to get 99 of every item (including limit skills and initial weapons) as well as to have aerith for final fight at lvl 99 and after maxing everyones stats also having 99 of each source ;) though if you are going to pc then might as well play with mods and use things like black chocobo
It is possible to get Pandoras Box to get unflagged as being cast and get cast again, I don't know what causes this but I have had it happen on an old file I put way to much time into before. Wouldn't count on it though.
When you encounter Jenova Absolute, the game resets Pandora's Box flag. I never investigated this yet. Maybe it means a simple game over against Jenova, Bizzarro or Safer then reloading makes Dragon Zombie able to cast Pandora's Box again. That would be the case only if this flag uses one of the few temporary variables that are in the RAM but not in the save file (a soft reset doesn't erase these xD). If not, it means the only way is with a warp glitch.
@@ErionAireTam Interesting, this did happen on ps1 for the record. I recall fighting the Zombie Dragon and never getting the move to go off for a very long time and doing alot of end game stuff prior to it actually casting again. No clue if I fought Jenova at some point in there.
I remember Pandora’s Box only too well from the crater level (North Crater was it?) and meeting this monstrosity of a thing on one particular floor near the start, and it was the first attack it used!!
pretty sure its patched inbsteam meaning its patched in ps4 but you can always boot a mod via 7th heaven thatll give you some fun playing as well as fixing a lot of the coding errors, theres even a slight mod fix for pc that allows your steal rate to be fixed so you can actually get vagyrisk claws from vagyrisk instead of the 2 useless items and the steal from behemoth as well ;) look it up i found it via looking for mods/walkthroughs etc on the steam ff7 community
So for pandora's box if you save in multiple slots before fighting it will this count as a seperate save file cause I'm doing a 100 play through on my channel and if I miss it and gotta start over ima be mad 😝😭😂😅
I still own the original FF7 copy released in Australia and I very much remember seeing Pandora's Box casted more than once per play as it was so long and drawn out
It can be gotten anytime. It is quite a bit out of the way if you have to go back to get it rather than getting it before Gaea's Cliffs ( which unfortunately cannot be gone into again ).
he doesnt cast trine he casts pyramid on a party member and the only way to obtain trine from that fight would be through yuffie/wrong warping on pc or via mods
"/Easily Missed" me thinks you missed a crucial part of the title. To be fair, after sector 7 is destroyed you have no way to get one so in essence it becomes one of the rarest item at that point.
I was recently trying to get White Wind and the enemy had spent all its magic power. I tossed an Ether at it and was able to cast on the next turn (it was manipulated). Maybe you can throw an ether at the Dragon Zombie after it casts a lot of spells to try to avoid it being out of MP when it attemtps to cast Pandora’s Box. I’m gonna try it but I’m a long way away from the Dragon Zombie atm.
Don't forget it's a ZOMBIE/UNDEAD dragon so instead of healing his MP you might end up taking away his MP...I don't know if it works or not cause I actually never tried it.
Arise zombie comment...but...Chocobuckle is super easy...lure a chocobo etc, check it's a multiple of 4 in lvl...use L4 suicide enemy skill on it by someone with the enemy skill materia you want to learn chocobuckle on...that removes 31/32 of its health and thus triggers it to counter with chocobuckle...job done.
I don't know bout armor missing but I played the game almost to the end without the HP or MP plus materia…. missed the damn shop in that village at least a dozen times I went through the place...
1. In the sample tank in Professor Hojo's lab in the Shinra Headquarters after Red XIII joins the party. 2. In the Respectable Inn in Junon. 3. In one of the houses in the Forgotten Capital. 4. Received from the Chocobo Sage's Mountain Chocobo.
Chocobo Sage in the Winter resort area , there is a house inbetween a mountainrange , and if you talk to the mountain chocobo there ( either it drops it or it is lying on the floor )...
Rob Duval I almost put it in as an honorable mention. But ribbons in general aren't rare. You can just morph a Tonberry into one. But you're right that one in particular is a hard find.
You don't seem to get how right you are since there are 3 Ribbons, if we don't count morphing. xD You get one as the reward of the 10th special battle in the Battle Square. Tonberry has an Elixir. That's Master Tonberry and Ho-Chu which have Ribbons. Tonberry can be encountered in the Battle Square and Master Tonberry in the Northern Cave.
depending on which stratedgy guide you have (i had/have the bradley official guide) it will or eont tell you about missable ribbon in secret room inaia vliffs i always thought i was the only one who knew about it,bumuchlie issing weapons like behmoth horn flayer and the stealable armor feom gigas and eagle gun there is much content you cant find unless you find the right guide or nowadays yt lol HOWEVER 7 is the game that keeps on giving did you know during your visit to 7th heaven if you press x button on pinball machine before it gets to the bottom or top you can ride it endlessly? there are so many new exploits glitches speedrun skips etc still being discovered to this day it really is the game that keeps giving a lot has acrually been showed cased by death unites us aka 4-8 productions on yt/discoed/twitch and there are some great mods via 7th heaven or in tge tsunamod community by greats like segachief (author of new threat) to name a few, i remember when the remako mod was huge, nah you want good graphic overhaul look up some of the upscales predownloadable with 7th h 2.0 as it only uses the best and most recent mods in its catalog so yoy dont have to go searching qhimm and nexus but will still run more obscure mods you may come across of corse i was really looking forqard to play final mix+ sadly it is so buggy and has since been abandoned :(
I know this is never going to get seen but it is possible to go back to the Gara’s Cliffs but not the Whirlwind Maze but I wouldn’t recommend it because you have to walk there and it’s a very long walk.

Getting multiple copies are a bit tricky though, but its very helpful for the arena fights. Pair this with a ribbon and some crazy materia combos (Ex: Added effect+hades or choco on weapon) and you can have a very hard to kill character.
The Imperial Guard has as many linked slots (Mystile too) and you can equip the tetra elemental accessory to absorb the major elements.
@@daveyjones8969 Those are all cool. I just like the ribbon cause of the coverage for all status elements.
@@cyber_nick1668 It's uniquely helpful in the arena, that's for sure.
Pandora's Box:
You'll only ever encounter the Dragon Zombie once in the Northern Crater (unless you're on your way to Jenova at the end). It will cast Pandora's Box before it dies so kill it as quickly as you can. If it does not have enough MP, it will not cast, and you will not get the enemy skill. Do not try and use Ethers on it (I did this) as it is an undead enemy and it will take MP damage from the Ethers.
I fought multiple zombie dragons in the same area. They only attempt to cast this enemy skill once per save game as a final attack.
Use an exilir trust me
Almost every play through I did I missed the added cut materia. Weird to not see it on this list cuz it blends in well with the background
it's armor accesories and enemy skills, not materia. That's why you don't see it on this list.
Big brain
they actually fixed that so the materia is darker in later releases
I would say that the easiest to miss is Barret's Ultimate weapon. It's in the staircase before Hogo boss fight at the end of disc 2. You only go there once and you need to have Barret in your Party to have the treasure chest appear. My last play through, it was the only thing I missed! I'm happy with only one full enemy-skill materia... not necessarily all four...
Definitely. I talk about Missing score in my rarest weapons video.

There's only one thing that I caught that you got wrong - you don't actually have to level the Destruct materia up to get the Death effect from the Added Effect materia. This applies to all materia. You can get the frog effect from an unlevelled Transform materia as well, for example.
So, while Hades would be a better choice, you could get a "Ribbon-lite" effect from putting Contain=Added Effect on your armour, gaining resistance to Stop, Confuse, and Petrify, even if the Contain materia is unlevelled.

The Ribbon in Gaea’s cliff, took me forever to learn about that

how can you not even mention barrets ultimate weapon that only appears on the way to the final hojo battle and only if you have barrett in your team? thats a real curveball and really pissed me off when i found out missed that.
you can also find shinra beta in the raid on shinra HQ wile you are heading up the floors.
Seems there is a easy way to get pandoras box without having to wait for the rng to kick in, seems you just have to tose them an elixir so zombie dragon die instantly and it will cast pandoras as a final insult. you can try with a phoenix down, but with an elixir it guaranties it will have the mp to cast it.
I never knew about Trine until only a few years ago
Holy crap. I got pandora's box on accident and I loved that enemy skill.
Hey, your game footage is super clear. Are you on an emulator? If so, what are the settings?
I thought I remember one of the Jenovas casting Pandora's box
TheBanchou i thought that too actually. I don’t remember that skill being so hard to get
the enemy gauntlet right before jenova can spawn dragon zombies, and it's possible to go all the way down the northern crater without fighting one until that point. that's probably why you remember- hell, you may have even used it on jenova yourself after acquiring the move.
7:52 "Just make sure Destruct has Death unlocked." This isn't true of this or any materia. Added Effect and Elemental materia both always pair with all unlocked and locked effects of the materia they are paired with.
With Cursed Ring, I just cast "Death Force" on the character and not have to worry about it.
Are all your "Top 10 Rarest..." series info/acquirable stuff included in your "Perfect Walkthrough" series? I forget if Behemoth Horn was in your perfect walkthrough.
behemoth horn is def in a perfect walkthrough, just because it isnt in some stratedgy guides doesnt mean it doesnt count, if you can obtain it, its required, also if playing a digital copy its good to make multiple saves so you can get the various diff key items in wall market and after you rescue aerith talk to the guy in the console and he will give you a useless keycard but its obtainable and missable
but yeah everything you can obtain/level up is required for perfect run, INCLUDING MASTERING UNDERWATER MATERIA
always made me salty there was no huge independent materia but there was one for summon magic and command, as well as support even if that wasnt obtainable to equip and that master command didnt allow you to have EVERY command
i always figured a perfevt run required you to have 9 copies of every master materia and all weapons/armor/accessories for each character as well as maxxing them out and getting their lv4 limit so having aeris equiped with a multiobtainable weapon like strike staff so you can have a copy of each of her weapons in your inventory and on pc using yuffie warp to use witem glitch to get 99 of every item (including limit skills and initial weapons) as well as to have aerith for final fight at lvl 99 and after maxing everyones stats also having 99 of each source ;)
though if you are going to pc
then might as well play with mods and use things like black chocobo
It is possible to get Pandoras Box to get unflagged as being cast and get cast again, I don't know what causes this but I have had it happen on an old file I put way to much time into before. Wouldn't count on it though.
When you encounter Jenova Absolute, the game resets Pandora's Box flag. I never investigated this yet.
Maybe it means a simple game over against Jenova, Bizzarro or Safer then reloading makes Dragon Zombie able to cast Pandora's Box again. That would be the case only if this flag uses one of the few temporary variables that are in the RAM but not in the save file (a soft reset doesn't erase these xD). If not, it means the only way is with a warp glitch.
@@ErionAireTam Interesting, this did happen on ps1 for the record. I recall fighting the Zombie Dragon and never getting the move to go off for a very long time and doing alot of end game stuff prior to it actually casting again. No clue if I fought Jenova at some point in there.
The first time u encounter 🐲 zombie throw a turbo ether it'll cast pandoras box right away I had it do it 2 times almost back to back
Enemy Skill materia, the material that most limits the number of Master materia you can have.
I remember Pandora’s Box only too well from the crater level (North Crater was it?) and meeting this monstrosity of a thing on one particular floor near the start, and it was the first attack it used!!
I've played this soooooo many times and never knew what that broken key is for.... I've always loaded over and over until I could steal the curse ring
Is it worth getting anything that raises magic defense? Heard that was glitched is it patched in the ps4 remastered?
pretty sure its patched inbsteam meaning its patched in ps4 but you can always boot a mod via 7th heaven thatll give you some fun playing as well as fixing a lot of the coding errors, theres even a slight mod fix for pc that allows your steal rate to be fixed so you can actually get vagyrisk claws from vagyrisk instead of the 2 useless items and the steal from behemoth as well ;) look it up i found it via looking for mods/walkthroughs etc on the steam ff7 community
So for pandora's box if you save in multiple slots before fighting it will this count as a seperate save file cause I'm doing a 100 play through on my channel and if I miss it and gotta start over ima be mad 😝😭😂😅
Use as many free Inns as you can! Aerith's house, Shinra building, Junon, Costa Del Sol, Corel (after the huge materia chase), Weapon seller, Wutai!!!
I still own the original FF7 copy released in Australia and I very much remember seeing Pandora's Box casted more than once per play as it was so long and drawn out
it can be, the enemy is a normal encounter in the crater
I have the original American version
In final Fantasy 8 if I stole from a creature it never dropped anything. Do you know if that is the same for final Fantasy 7?
Still got the old original guide was able to get most of these weird how they changed names of weapons and a lot of other things on PS4 version
Don’t forget about the Alexander summon
It can be gotten anytime. It is quite a bit out of the way if you have to go back to get it rather than getting it before Gaea's Cliffs ( which unfortunately cannot be gone into again ).
I remember first finding that on like my 5th playthrough it was awesome as hell. Never seen it in guides just happened upon it.
The vid is about Missed Armor Accessories & Enemy Skills not Materia
Im fairly sure you can get to Stilva after the first visit - gotta double check when I next replay the game
I recall Reno casting Trine as well. I usually learned it from him on the pillar.
Impossible. U don't have enemy skill by that time
he doesnt cast trine he casts pyramid on a party member and the only way to obtain trine from that fight would be through yuffie/wrong warping on pc or via mods
I think you mean 'Touph, Ring.
Touph was a translation error now fixed in the re-translation
The 4th rarest item in the game is a bangle you can buy at level 1. Good list.
"/Easily Missed" me thinks you missed a crucial part of the title. To be fair, after sector 7 is destroyed you have no way to get one so in essence it becomes one of the rarest item at that point.
I missed half of these items on my first playthrough back in the day.
There was an item and it was called 1/16 soldier...if I remember correctly. I only found a few of them and never found out what it was used for.
It's the 1/35 soldier and they don't do anything. I actually talk about them in my latest video ua-cam.com/video/1CZyFSrY3d4/v-deo.html
What is good about four slots? Kind of limited imo.
was about to comment it has double growth, but i was thinking about rune blade lol
you can steal gigas armlet from gigas enemy when running down the mountain on the first disk before cloud gives sephiroth the black materia
I was recently trying to get White Wind and the enemy had spent all its magic power. I tossed an Ether at it and was able to cast on the next turn (it was manipulated). Maybe you can throw an ether at the Dragon Zombie after it casts a lot of spells to try to avoid it being out of MP when it attemtps to cast Pandora’s Box. I’m gonna try it but I’m a long way away from the Dragon Zombie atm.
Elixir or even better turbo ether
Don't forget it's a ZOMBIE/UNDEAD dragon so instead of healing his MP you might end up taking away his MP...I don't know if it works or not cause I actually never tried it.
@@RogueSeraphturbo ether will make it use the enemy skill
Mystile, it's a really good piece of armor and missable eventhough you get a few chances to get it.
you can actually get 3 copies due to a bug with tifa in north cave c:
@@captain_dsz6049 Good point, but still missable.
Mystile is not missable. You can always get in and out of the Northern Cave.
But Can I obtain 3 Ziedrich or just 1?
You can also fight the Dragon Zombie while fighting your way to Jenova-SYNTHESIS and get Pandora’s Box that way
Yes but you can't go back at that point
What does once per save file mean exactly?
1/35 soldier and tissues..wtf do these things do????
Brad Silvers I think the soldier part is related to the Gondor place where you offer them cash and shit for their army.. could be wrong.
Super Sweeper too
Sephiroth clone ;)
With a Black or Gold Chocobo you can enter Geas Cliff in late game to fight Stilva for Trine Enemy Skill.
The Geas Cliff turns into the Northern crater, Geas cliff cannot be re entered ever again after completing it
@8:10 - PANDORA'S BOX I bet it'S not a coding error! It'S META !
You can only open PANDORA'S BOX once in mythology ! This is why!! super meta!
You should have given the Contain materia a mention
Enemy skill is so OP i think my next playthrough ill avoid using it for a challenge
Can you miss the chocobo lure if you do the zolom skip?
You can also get it on disc 2 and 3 at the farm on the ground.
Behemoth's Horn?
Chocobuckle?
Iron bangle is way better
@@finalcam1740 lol
Behemoth horn is a weapon, chocobuckle can be learned anytime!
Arise zombie comment...but...Chocobuckle is super easy...lure a chocobo etc, check it's a multiple of 4 in lvl...use L4 suicide enemy skill on it by someone with the enemy skill materia you want to learn chocobuckle on...that removes 31/32 of its health and thus triggers it to counter with chocobuckle...job done.
I don't know bout armor missing but I played the game almost to the end without the HP or MP plus materia…. missed the damn shop in that village at least a dozen times I went through the place...
Sneak glove plus luck plus. That helps
In your video, it sounds like it's 4 enemy skill materia, I only have 3, where can the fourth be found ?
1. In the sample tank in Professor Hojo's lab in the Shinra Headquarters after Red XIII joins the party.
2. In the Respectable Inn in Junon.
3. In one of the houses in the Forgotten Capital.
4. Received from the Chocobo Sage's Mountain Chocobo.
Thank you, i have forgotten about the one in forgotten capital, i remember nr.4 as nr.3 so thank you again.
Chocobo Sage in the Winter resort area , there is a house inbetween a mountainrange , and if you talk to the mountain chocobo there ( either it drops it or it is lying on the floor )...
Had no idea there was a Shinra Alpha
What about the second ribbon man? You get one of them easily, but the other a lot of people miss
Rob Duval I almost put it in as an honorable mention. But ribbons in general aren't rare. You can just morph a Tonberry into one. But you're right that one in particular is a hard find.
@@laneface I actually never knew about the morph, would've been helpful in the past lol
You don't seem to get how right you are since there are 3 Ribbons, if we don't count morphing. xD
You get one as the reward of the 10th special battle in the Battle Square.
Tonberry has an Elixir. That's Master Tonberry and Ho-Chu which have Ribbons.
Tonberry can be encountered in the Battle Square and Master Tonberry in the Northern Cave.
depending on which stratedgy guide you have (i had/have the bradley official guide) it will or eont tell you about missable ribbon in secret room inaia vliffs i always thought i was the only one who knew about it,bumuchlie issing weapons like behmoth horn flayer and the stealable armor feom gigas and eagle gun there is much content you cant find unless you find the right guide or nowadays yt lol
HOWEVER 7 is the game that keeps on giving
did you know during your visit to 7th heaven if you press x button on pinball machine before it gets to the bottom or top you can ride it endlessly?
there are so many new exploits glitches speedrun skips etc still being discovered to this day it really is the game that keeps giving
a lot has acrually been showed cased by death unites us aka 4-8 productions on yt/discoed/twitch and there are some great mods via 7th heaven or in tge tsunamod community by greats like segachief (author of new threat) to name a few, i remember when the remako mod was huge, nah you want good graphic overhaul look up some of the upscales predownloadable with 7th h 2.0 as it only uses the best and most recent mods in its catalog so yoy dont have to go searching qhimm and nexus but will still run more obscure mods you may come across
of corse i was really looking forqard to play final mix+ sadly it is so buggy and has since been abandoned :(
I know this is never going to get seen but it is possible to go back to the Gara’s Cliffs but not the Whirlwind Maze but I wouldn’t recommend it because you have to walk there and it’s a very long walk.
how? any reference?
the only way is on pc via yuffie/wrong warping
How about the adamant bangle?
stealable anytime feom adaman turrtle
Is only one chance to get Pandora's Box really a bug though? Seems like a clever reference.
No I had it do it 2 times
Always wondered why Pandoras Box was nearly impossible for me to get.
