Extra Hints and Secrets



Below are cool tricks, added bonuses and secrets I have learned. These are just little things and puzzles a lot of people have always wondered about and never been able to solve or find all of. I am trying to build this area up so if you have any good ones, send it to me through E-Mail and I will have it posted within the week. Thanks and enjoy.


The Turtle Paradise Flyers


Placed throughout the world of Final Fantasy 7 are posters advertising the infamous Turtle Paradise. When you go there and talk to the waiter, or owner or what ever he is, and he will tell you if you find them all he will give you a prize. Although not very hard to find some can not be gone back to get so you must be looking for them the whole game. Simply click on it and Cloud will read it. The locations of the six posters are as follows.

1. In the Sector 5 Slums on the east side of town. Upstairs in the boy's bedroom.
2. 1st floor of Shinra HQ on the back wall
3. In the Ghost Hotel near the item shop entrance
4. Next to the weapon shop in Cosmo Canyon that has a save point in it
5. Next to the inkeeper's desk in Cosmo Canyon
6. In Yuffies basement outside of the trap room.

When you have found all these go back to turtle beach and talk to the man again. He will give you one of each of the Sources (mind, strength,etc) and a mega elixer. Nothing huge but hey....it was fun right?



Unlimited Ribbons


Ribbons are perhaps the best accessory in the game. The protect you against almost all ailments. I personally have one on all my charactors. To get all the ribbons you could ever need and then some, simply morph Master Tonbery, that impossible dude with the star over his head in Northern Crater. Or, perhaps the easier way because you get him every time, morph the second guy in the special battle at Gold Saucer. I'm not sure what he is called but he is a huge plant that uses a "Huge Pollen" attack and some whip attack that casts stop on your charactor.




The Da Chao Fire Cave


In the submarine dock at the Underwater reactor there is a box out of your way when you are racing for the sub. Inside this box are the Leviathan Scales. GET THESE! When you are finished the sub sequence and everything take the scales to the Da-Chao mountains in Wutai and go into the fire cave. Before the fire would repel you from making it anywhere and it hides all the boxes. This time when you walk into the flames the scales put them out and you can get the hidden box or whatever is there. Therefore walk into each of the fires to put them out. There will be three items: Oritsuru (a weapon for Yuffie), Steal As Well Materia, and the Dragoon Lance(a weapon for Cid).




Unlimited Tetra Elementals


Tetra Elementals are accessories that absorb fire,ice, lightning, and earth damage or attacks and turns them into HP. They are very useful and are great when fighting element based attacking enemies and bosses. To get them go to Cosmo Canyon and go diectly south. When you get here you will see a little island with a desert on it. Land on this island and fight the cactus freak things. Now simply morph them and they turn into a tetra elemental accessory. It is really up to you as to how many you get but they are very useful and I put them second only to the ribbon.




The Kalm Traveler


This only takes effect when meteor has been summoned. When you walk into calm there is a house in the right most corner of the town. Inside is a man upstairs who is looking for 3 items. The three items he is looking for are a guide book, the earth harp, and a Desert Rose. You can find the Guidebook in the underwater reactor by morphing the half ship half skeleton dude down there. Whe you give this to him you will recieve the Underwater Materia. This eliminates the time on Emerald WEAPON and you won't be able to drowned. When you defeat Ruby WEAPON you will recieve the Desert Rose. This can be traded for a Gold Chocobo (which by now is probably of no use to you because you already have one). This leave the Earth harp. You get this when you kill the Emerald WEAPON. When you take this to the traveler he will give you each of the three master materia. Kick ass! Although you probably have a few masters by now, three more won't hurt.




Cosmo Canyon's Secret Room


Although not really a secret, a lot of people miss this and can't get master magic materia because they are missing one. To find the missing materia simply general store in Cosmo Canyon on the second disk. When you were here before there was a rope across the door way. It will be gone and you can go in the back and collect the fullcure materia, Elixir, and Magic Source waiting for you in the back.




Easy Gold Pieces


In Gold Saucer you need GP's to do and get a lot of the cool stuff. Collecting GP can become very long and tedious. There is however a quick and easy way to get some. About every 1/60 times you enter the ropeway station on the Gold Saucer side you will see a guy hiding in the shadows up by the save point. If you talk to him he will say that he is willing to trade in your Gil for GP. The rate is 100 Gil for 1 GP. You can only get 100 GP's however and once you buy them from him he runs away.




7777 fever


7777 fever can be pretty difficult to obtain so you better be ready for I little work. If you have an easier way of getting 7777 fever then E-Mail me and I'll post it. Yes, you will get credit for your superior intellect.
Getting 7777 Fever for one battle is a little easier than getting it for a long period of time. I got 7777 fever the first time by accident near Junon with Red XIII (I know you care!). I got 7777 fever while I was fighting the two small lizard creatures. The first thing you have to do is cast mini, hast, and silence on your opponets. Then you should give yourself between 7778 and 7795 health. You can do this with a combination of potions and Hi-Potions. If you go to high over my limit then take some HP off with the E-Skills Chocobuckle or Flame Thrower. These don't take much damage so they work really good. From here on you can just sit back and let your opponets beat you up until you get 7777HP. This process goes a lot quicker if you only have 1 character in your party or a cover materia on.
To get 7777 fever for a long time you have to just equip HP plus's to your charactors until the hit the right amount. Be warned it is very hard to get the right combinations of materia to make this happen and a lot of the time it isn't even possible. I have only done it once with Cid. Although this can be a cool trick I personally wouldn't waste a lot of time trying to do it seeing as if you get hit it stops working and if you gain a level it also disappears.
