Obtain the Potion, then proceed to the ladder at the end of the walkway. Climb the ladder, clear out the nearby Soldiers, then proceed to the nearby structure surrounding Kalm. Crouch so the Soldiers do not sense your presence. Shoot the explosive barrel nearby to eliminate the surrounding Soldiers. In the distance, locate the lookout at I-01. Eliminate the Soldiers, enter the lookout, descend to the bottom, then defeat the Soldiers to begin your next objective. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Civilian Rescue / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Several citzens of Kalm will dash into the alleyway, but do not shoot them! Wait a moment, then eliminate the Soldiers chasing them. Continue into the Marketplace, eliminate the nearby Soldiers. Continue through the Marketplace and rescue the citizens who dash out from the right. Proceed to the end of the Marketplace and quickly eliminate the Soldiers to your left. You'll encounter three citizens nearby, located at I-14 / I-15. These will both connect midway through, near where you encountered the three Soldiers. Return through the Marketplace to G-13. Proceed through the alley, eliminate the Soldiers, then examine the nearby barrier. After you've been prompted to obtain a Cardkey, eliminate each of the Soldiers, obtain the Cardkey, deactivate the barrier, and then proceed onward. You'll encounter more citizens ahead, but they will escape safely. Instead, proceed onward to initiate a cutscene. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Civilian Rescue 2 / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Your next objective is to rescue the two citizens. Enter the alley on your left, eliminate the Soldier devouring the mother, and then open the nearby cargo container. The cargo container will take fifteen seconds to open, so you need to hold off or simply eliminate the Soldiers. Leave the alley via J-07. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Cardkey Retrieval / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Location: E-04. Though it might seem like a simple walk through the park, you will need to rescue some citizens. Event 1: Begins between H-06 / G-06. Eliminate the Soldiers that surround the boy. Event 2: Alleyway located at F-06, Event will begin at E-05. You'll see a crate to your immediate left. Jump onto the crate and shoot down the Soldiers, prior to obtaining the Cardkey directly behind you. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Head back to H-06 with the Cardkey. After you have deactivated the barrier, proceed into the corrdior to eventually locate a door leading to Dragonfly. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Dragonfly / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Use the nearby Mako Points to cast Fire Materia on the Dragonfly, otherwise, assault the Dragonfly with your Long-Barrel equipped. Once you've partially depleted the Dragonfly's health, it will send Soldiers to attack. Eliminate them quickly by shooting one of the many nearby explosive barrels. Once you've depleted the Dragonfly's reamining health, Vincent will enter a nearby residence. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS | | | | Equip: Long Barrel | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Once you're inside the residence, proceed upstairs to encounter Azul and an almost endless supply of Soldiers. Approach Azul to complete the event. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Assist the WRO / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Location: K-06 - L-07 Avoid the Soldiers, or only shoot those who become bothersome. There is an endless supply, so do not waste your ammo. Dash to D-07 to encounter the WRO. The WRO will eliminate the Soldiers who remain, so proceed onward to the WRO Commander. Speak to the WRO Commander, then proceed to F-08. Once you've eliminated the Soldiers, you will need to locate a Cardkey. It will be in a crate, located in the alley to your right. Equip the Sniper Scope, deactivate the barrier with your Cardkey, continue up the stairs and aro Equip the Sniper Scope, deactivate the barrier, start up the staircase and around the corner to your left, then eliminate the nearby Snipers. Proceed down the walkway to eventually reach the Church. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Civilian Rescue 3 / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Location: E-06 - F-07 *Accessed only once you have obtained the Cardkey in "Assist the WRO".* Civilian Rescue will be completely optional but will require concentration. Equip your Griffon, because the Soldiers will have each citizen eliminated within seconds. With the Griffon equipped, you will be able to eliminate each Soldier with ease. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Dragonfly GL / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O On this approach, the Dragonfly will assault Vincent from nearby. Shoot the Dragonfly continuously, because you need to make it bend over. After it has bent over, begin your assault on the core above. Keep your distance from the Dragonfly because the last place you want to be is directly beneath it. This will present problems obtaining a target. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS | | | | Equip: Long Barrel, Griffon, Fire Materia | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = O S H O W D O W N I N T H E W A S T E S O - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Hound Eradication / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Location: --- Unlimited ammo! Simply hold down the R1 Button to begin a rapid assault on the Guard Hounds. Once you have held off the Guard Hounds long enough, the battle will come to an abrupt end, soon to be continued on the roof of the vehicle. You'll need to hold off the Guard Hounds once more. It's essential that no damage is dealt to Vincent. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Crimson Hound / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Place your target lock onto a nearby Guard Hound. Your easiest method would be to chase the Guard Hound and don't stop, becuase the nearby Guard Hounds will chase you but will be unable to attack. The Guard Hounds will respawn, but you will have a brief moment to focus on the Crimson Hound. The Crimson Hound will typically sit atop a rock formation, where it can be easily targeted. When the Crimson Hound has been shot, several Guard Hounds will spawn, prompting the Crimson Hound to return to the surface to assault Vincent. Ignore the Guard Hounds, because the Crimson Hound is quite weak. After the Crimson Hound has been killed, the Guard Hounds will retreat. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS | | | | Equip: Cerberus, Long Barrel | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O After the battle, obtain the Cardkey, deactivate the barrier, then continue up the slope to initiate a cutscene.

Once you've passed the alley, proceed onward to the main road. Enter the alley across from the main road, then speak to the dying WRO Soldier to obtain the Keycard. Ascend the staircase, cross the walkway, then proceed to the main street on the other side. Deactivate the barrier, then enter the Inn. Continue to the back of the bar, ascend the nearby staircase, then exit through the door to reach the alleyway. Proceed through the alleyway to a large vicinity. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Sniper Eradication / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O The Snipers will present quite a challenge because they shoot with extreme accuracy and deal massive damage. Should you die, you will be sent back to the beginning of the chapter, so you need to be quick. The Snipers will lead you to an encounter of a young boy who will run past Vincent. Eliminating each Sniper will lead you to an event prompting a boy to skit across the screen. After he has disappeared into a building, enter inside, eliminate the Snipers on the second level, then head back down. He will immediately exit outside and escape to the western perimeter. Eliminate the Snipers, then continue to the northern perimeter. Shoot down the Snipers to rescue the young boy next to the barrier. Once you speak to him, your escort mission will begin. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Protect the Boy / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Stay a slight distance ahead of him, but not too much because enemies will approach in both directions. This will create a partial barrier to protect your escort. Simply remain close to your escort because he will lead you directly where you need to be to complete your objective. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O After the escort objective has completed, return to the barrier. Deactivate the barrier, then eliminate the Snipers as you proceed through the alleyway. You will soon reach the main road. Proceed halfway down the road, then continue right. After you reach the end of the street, a cutscene will reveal several nearby Snipers. Eliminate the Snipers, then proceed onward. You will come to a road that overlooks the vicinity where you completed the escort objective. Proceed to the alleyway next to the Mako Point, but don't enter it. Instead, shoot the two explosive barrels to eliminate most of the Snipers. Proceed into the door once you have eliminated the Snipers to encounter the Heavy Armored Soldier. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Heavy Armored Soldier / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Eliminate the Snipers on top before the two below because it will make the battle a lot less difficult. When you've eliminated the Snipers, bring the Heavy Armored Soldier down to 50% Health with the Cerberus. The Heavy Armored Soldier will then shoot you with his Machine Gun. Switch to the Griffon on Normal Mode, keep your distance, and escape to obstacles nearby to barricade incoming enemy assault. The Heavily Armored Soldier is quite easy to defeat. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS | | | | Equip: Cerberus, Normal Barrel (Snipers) | | Equip: Griffon, Cerberus, Normal Barrel (Heavy Armored Soldier) | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = O H / Q U N D E R S I E G E O - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Assist the WRO 2 / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Eliminate all the Soldiers once you have gained control of Vincent. You'll immediately receive incoming enemy assault once the chapter has begun. The objective will begin in the basement of WRO Headquarters. Ascend the staircase once you have eliminated the nearby Soldiers. Proceed counter-clockwise, past the barrier, then obtain the Cardkey at the end of the corridor. Deactivate the barrier and proceed to the second level. Shoot the Soldiers across the bridge, return into the corridor and proceed into the door located at F-12. Exit back to the main corridor on the other side and ascend the staircase to your right. Eliminate the Soldiers at K-08 / H-02, obtain the Cardkey, then proceed to the staircase at K-10. Head to the top level, eliminate the Soldiers, then return to the level below. Head counter-clockwise around the perimeter and access the elevator to return to the top level. Exit the elevator to your right, then proceed through the door to initiate a cutscene. Eliminate the Soldiers at K-08 / H-02 to obtain the Cardkey. Return to the staircase at K-10 and deactivate the barrier to initiate a cutscene. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Command Center / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Arrows will be marked on several walls, so ascend the staircase, then head down the corridor. If you have been blocked by a barrier, you will need to eliminate all enemies that remain. You need to reach Reeve before the progress bar runs out. You'll have more than enough time to complete the objective. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Backtrack to the main corrior to encounter Azul. Proceed down to base level, and then enter the door at J-07. Eliminate the Soldiers in the corridor and head down the stairs to the level below. Shoot down the Soldiers to receive a Cardkey, deactivate the barrier, then continue onward. Some of the robotic enemies will make it difficult to survive, but you will need to eliminate them to obtain the Cardkey. Use a Limit Breaker to easily eliminate the Soldiers and robotic prototypes. Remain in your Limit Breaker, because you will still be battling more robotic prototypes. Head down the corridor, eliminate the Soldier and robotic prototype, obtain the Cardkey from the Soldier's corpse, then proceed through the two sets of doors to encounter Shelke. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Shelke / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Shelke will be extremely quick, so you cannot remain still. She'll come at you quickly and perform a powerful combo, so jump before she reaches you. Shoot Shelke a couple times before moving somewhere else, because she will throw on a shield which cannot be penetrated. Shooting her will only waste ammo. Each time Shelke hits you, she will send you airborne, so counter and push the X Button to swiftly regain control of Vincent. When she runs low on health, Shelke will perform a new combo, dealing lots of damage. The key to winning is to keep moving, and don't let her get too close to you. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS | | | | Equip: Cerberus, Normal Barrel | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O After you have defeated Shelke, exit to the corridor to encounter Azul. The battle will begin after the cutscene. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Azul / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Don't bother with your weapons because Azul has way too much armor. You'll probably notice several explosive barrels nearby. Shoot the three that are closest to Azul, but keep moving, otherwise Azul WILL one-shot you. Once you've destroyed the three barrels next to Azul, run to the column in the back corner. This will bring Azul to the other side of the room. If he raises his Rocket Launcher during this time, you need to jump into the air to avoid his powerful shockwave. When Azul reaches the other side of the room, shoot the barrels closest to him to finish him off. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS | | | | Equip: Cerberus, Normal Barrel | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = O M A N O R O F D E S P A I R O - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Eliminate the Sahagin / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O The Sahagin have inhabited the Nibelheim Sewers, but you should be able to eliminate them easily.

Guard 3: Climb down the ladder when the DG Soldier has turned to the other direction and proceed left. Guard 4: When the DG Soldier has turned from the explosive barrel, push it in his direction. This will eliminate the DG Soldier. Guard 5: Wait behind the crates. As soon as the DG Soldier on the right is towards the ladder, push the barrel towards the DG Soldier who is directly ahead. Cross to where you eliminated the DG Soldier and jump onto the crate. Jump off behind the robotic prototypes to initiate a cutscene. Guard 6: Stand behind the barrel to your left. Push the barrel once the DG Soldier has come into range. Return to where you eliminated Guard 6, then hide behind the barrel on the bridge.

O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Avoid the Aerial Mines / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O You need to time this correctly! This is pretty simple, just avoid running past if one of the mines is too close. You are locked between each barrier for about three to five seconds and the mines cannot be shot down. There's a Soldier you need to shoot directly ahead once you are about halfway into the hallway. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Exit on the other side, then proceed up the stairs. Shoot down the Soldiers in the corridor upstairs, then proceed onward. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Destroy the Robtoic Unit / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Destroy the robotics with your Griffon, or cast your Materia to finish the objective quickly. Go up the stairs and turn right into the corridor. Kill the Soldier operating the Machine Gun, then climb up the ladder. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Proceed into the room on the right, eliminate the Soldiers, then deactivate the barrier. Press the switch, then enter the elevator. Press the switch in the elevator to be taken to the upper level. Exit into the corridor and destroy the robotic unit. Head around the corner, then up the nearby stairs to begin your next objective. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Eliminate the Robots / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O As you proceed toward the elevator, four Sentry Robots will come out. Cast your Materia to eliminate them, then enter the elevator to be taken to the upper level. Strafe left and right inside the elevator to avoid the missile while, then eliminate the Sentry Robots. After that, shoot down the two robotics ahead. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Continue into the next room, then through the door on the other side of the wall to initiate a cutscene. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Rosso the Crimson / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O You need to keep moving in this battle because Rosso is quite quick, has a lot of health, and packs a pretty decent punch. For the initial phase, run circles around the perimeter shooting her with your Cerberus. Make sure to keep clear of the nearby pits too, as they will be your disadvantage. You need to keep your distance from Rosso too, otherwise she'll dash up to you and perform a powerful combo. Once you've dealt enough damage to Rosso, she will raise the stakes. If you run low on health or ammunition, there are several white briefcases you can use to restock. There's also a Jukebox near where you entered. In phase two, Rosso will begin to throw several red spheres at you. Though they deal a considerable amount of damage, they are quite easily avoidable by jumping out of the way. The same will go for her electric ground tremor. Simply keep moving backwards away from Rosso and she will have a heck of a time trying to hit you.

Cross to the western staircase, clear out all the Soldiers below, then continue to the third landing. Drop down into the elevator shaft, then exit to reception. Descend down the ladder on your left, then continue through the corridor to eventually reach the Basement. Eliminate the initial enemies, then proceed deeper through the corridor. In the second room, eliminate the Soldiers that cross above, then head through the door on your right. Enter the room on your right, shoot down the bugs, proceed into the door on your left, eliminate some more bugs, then enter into the hall on your left. Continue past the Mako Point, shoot down the Soldiers, then enter the room on your right. Elimiante the enemies, then exit into the corridor. Go past the Jukebox and into the next room, eliminate the Soldier, then enter the corridor ahead. Head through the corridor and press the switch against the wall to open the door. Enter into the next room to initiate a cutscene. Run into the chamber you just opened and press the switch to close the door. Continue through the remaining rooms, then down the final corridor to reach a Mako Point. Enter the door beyond the Mako Point to initiate a cutscene. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Black Widow 3 / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O *Yawn*, You're battling the same type of Black Widow, just a couple of new attacks. The Black Widow on top won't do much, but the other will shoot at you with several rapid attacks. This means you will need to run around the Black Widow in circles. The Black Widow on the bottom can be easily defeated by casting your Limit Breaker, though the other may be difficult to reach. Equip Griffon on your Normal Barrel, then while dodging the several bombs it dispenses, shoot it until it has been defeated. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS | | | | Equip: Cerberus / Griffon, Normal Barrel | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O After the battle, proceed into the elevator. After you've reached the upper level, your objective will begin. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Find the DG Data Files / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O File 1: Behind the desk in the north-western room. File 2: Located in the Materia Exhibit. File 3: Found in the first Computer Lab at the bottom of the long elevator shaft. File 4: Found in the third Computer Lab at the bottom of the long elevator shaft. File 5: Found in the final Computer Lab at the bottom of the long elevator shaft. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Start through the eastern door, shoot down the Shrikes before you cross the bridge, then proceed into the door to reach the Crystal Exhibit. Shoot down the enemies in the Crystal Exhibit and Materia Exhibit, then continue along the long corridor. Approach the second bridge to initiate a cutscene. Proceed into the door on the other side of the bridge to reach the elevator, then access the elevator to begin your next objective. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Destroy the Mines / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Rotate the camera as the elevator descends, shooting all the mines as they come into range. Make sure you stand in the center of the platform because they will explode. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O After you've reached the bottom, exit through the south-western door, cross the bridge, then head through the door ahead to reach the Computer Lab. Now proceed through each room until you reach the corridor just past the fourth Computer Lab. Eliminate the Soldiers and robotic units, continue through the door located at the end of the hall, cross the bridge, then access the elevator to reach the vicinity below. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Destroy the Mines / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Rotate the camera as the elevator descends, shooting all the mines as they come into range. Make sure that you do not shoot them down too close, they will explode. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Once you reach the bottom, exit the elevator shaft, cross the bridge, enter into the next corridor, then shoot down the enemies in the large room ahead. The next series of room is quite simple. Your first large room will consist of melee enemies, so just keep your distance and eliminate them. The second room will consist of enemies holding rocket launchers. Target the explosive barrels to eliminate them quickly, keeping your distance, then proceed into the eastern corridor ahead. Eliminate the robotic units and the Guard Hounds and enter through the door ahead. Access the Jukebox, then head past the bridge to encounter Azul. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Neo Azul / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Circle around the central column so Azul cannot see you. Strafe out, shoot him a couple times, then return behind the column. Unfortunately, you will not be perfectly safe doing this because once you return behind the column, Azul performs a shockwave that will damage you regardless of where you are. When Azul hits you, it's going to hurt, so don't act like a hero and think you can take him in one assault. Keep your distance from Azul too, because when you get too close, he kicks you, dealing incredible damage, so run away from him once he begins to run towards you.

This event triggers when you descend the second staircase, just past the Jukebox. Once you've eliminated eight of the airborne enemies, shoot down the enemy unit that approaches to obtain the Cardkey. Deactivate the barrier at H-07. Jump to the lower ledge, eliminate the nearby enemies, then continue onward. Jump down to the bottom ledge, then proceed through the door ahead to reach a corridor leading to the Outer Wall. Shoot out the enemies on the stairs, then head onto the walkway to activate the barrier. Step onto the balcony on your right, destroy the mines, obtain the Cardkey, then deactivate the barrier. Climb down the ladder, then proceed onward with caution. Eliminate the four explosive barrels which drop from above, then descend the stairs, eliminate the Soldier before he collects all the items, then climb down the ladder to the walkway below. When you have reached the Mako Point, turn around, then eliminate the Heavy Armored Soldier. Aim towards the upper walkway behind you, eliminate all of the Soldiers, then pick up the Cardkey from the Heavy Armored Soldier. Head to the barrier and deactivate it. Follow the walkway through the door ahead to encounter a new challenge. The enemies here will be shielded, so your weapons will not work. Instead, your only way of eliminating these enemies is to either attack them by melee, or cast Materia. Once they've been eliminated, obtain the Cardkey and continue through the south-western barrier. In the next room, climb down a series of ladders until you reach the lowest level of the complex. Destroy the crates to obtain the Cardkey, then head two levels up to return to the barrier. Deactivate the barrier, then jump down to the walkway below and continue into the door ahead. STOP! Proceed with caution through this next corridor because there will be two traps located at the entrance and near the exit. After you have reached the next room, jump onto the tram to initiate a cutscene. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Tram Trouble / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Keep a close eye on your surroundings, because several enemies come at you to block your entrance to the reactor. In the initial area, shoot the Soldiers, not the trams, then switch to the Hydra and eliminate the aircrafts. You will also have several Snipers that will be attempting to shoot you down from the surrounding buildings. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Once you have come to the end of the tram, begin through the corridor ahead, then once the walkway collapses, drop to the surface below. Eliminate the Soldiers as you progress down the walkway on your right, then head down the stairs and along the rooftops to enter the nearby building. Deactivate the barrier inside, then continue down to the lower level. Shoot down the enemies that appraoch, pick up the Cardkey, deactivate the barrier behind you, eliminate the Heavy Armored Soldier, then obtain the Cardkey to deactivate the next barrier. Exit through the door directly ahead of you and shoot down all the Soldiers as you make your way to the street below. Equip the Long Barrel and eliminate the Snipers, then enter the dark tunnel and pick up the Blast Machine Gun. Attempt to exit the dark tunnel to start an event. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Hound Eradication / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Several Guard Hounds will begin to approach but they can all be eliminated quickly with the Blast Machine Gun. This will become somewhat troublesome if the Guard Hounds manage to gather together. Each Guard Hound will only deal a small amount of damage, but it will take big number off your health guage if they begin to attack Vincent in large quantities. Once you have eliminated the Gaurd Hounds, pick up the Cardkey and proceed back onto the street. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Ascend the stairs, eliminate the Snipers, obtain the Cardkey located on the crate behind you, then proceed to the end of the alleyway and eliminate the Rocket Launchers. Once in the next room, drop down to the ledge below, cross the bridge, then continue up the staircase. Access the machine gun nearby to begin your next objective. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Enemy Assault / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O You'll be assaulted by Snipers from the distant building, as well as a few robotic units, including Aerial Mines. Your objective is to keep them from swarming towards you, keep your health sufficient, and don't hold back, as you have unlimited ammo. From time to time, make sure that you pop a health potion. This battle may last a while and you're not invulnerable. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O Return towards the stairs in the direction you came from and deactivate the barrier at the end of the walkway. Eliminate the Soldiers, then descend the stairs to the muddy waters below. Proceed past the eastern stairs, then into the alley on your right. Head up the stairs in the distance, then cross the bridge. Shoot down the onslaught of Soldiers, obtain the Cardkey, deactivate the barrier, then proceed ahead to initiate a cutscene. Ascend the stairs to the upper-most level, eliminate the onslaught of enemy units, pick up the Cardkey, then deactivate the barrier. Head up the stairs and enter through the door. Don't shoot the mines! Instead, sneak past or jump over them, then locate a Cardkey at the end of the walkway. Deactivate the barrier, jump past all of the crates, avoiding the Aerial Mines, pick up the Cardkey, then deactivate the next barrier. Avoid the explosive barrels on the side, continue down the walkway, pick up the Cardkey, then deactivate the next barrier. Head through the door to the left, eliminate the enemy units, descend the stairs, then drop off a nearby ledge to reach the village ruins below. Exit out the door at the base of the building, eliminate the enemy Soldiers, pick up the Cardkey, then deactivate the northern barrier. Before you enter the building, stand on the ledge that overlooks the area below and gain the surprise attack by shooting down the enemies in the distance. Continue into the building where you deactivated the barrier, begin down the stairs, then exit outside and eliminate the enemy units. Drop down to the left, enter the muddy waters, continue through the eastern tunnel, then out the small passage on your left. Proceed onward through the door, eliminate the two Soldiers, head to the end of the tunnel, then climb the ladder on your left. Obtain the Cardkey, then climb the second ladder. Shoot the second crate to locate another Cardkey, jump off the roof to your left to reach the surface below, then continue up the hill to reach an area which practically screams cutscene. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Nero / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O You can practically dance through this fight without even taking a scratch of damage. Simply strafe in a circular motion around Nero. His attack will be pretty basic, you just can't let him corner you, otherwise he will have the advantage. When the screen begins to darken, you will be faced with three Neros. They will all be able to attack and deal damage, so equip the Griffon and begin assaulting Nero. It doesn't matter which one you attack because every time you deal damage, it will inflict damage on the real Nero. When Nero has reached half health, he will gain a new attack which prompts a circular spin. This can easily be avoided, just don't allow Nero to come too close.

Eliminate the Soldiers, jump on top of the pipe, target the Soldier behind the large tube directly ahead, then jump/shoot to eliminate him. Continue down the walkway to your left to reach a second pipe. Jump over the pipe and proceed down the walkway to the right, ignoring the two Soldiers because they cannot be killed. Quickly run down the stairs and enter through the next two doors to initiate a cutscene. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Defeat the Gargoyles / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O This is just like the previous area. You will need to target each Gargoyle in the region and shoot them down, but the rails will make it difficult to do so. You MAY need to jump/shoot to eliminate the targeted Gargoyle. When you've descended the second to last staircase, target the Soldier who is standing on the upper walkway connected to the central structure, shoot him down, then proceed through the door ahead. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O In the next large room, descend down the ladder, kill the two sentry robots, then head down the walkway to the initial pipe, eliminating the one Soldier on your left. Kill the two Soldiers at the first two pipes, then kill the Rocket Launcher in the distance. Make sure you do it from a distance, otherwise you will be locked in with a Rocket Launcher and several bugs. Pick up the Cardkey, deactivate the barrier, then proceed to the end of the walkway. Eliminate the beetle on the large pipe to your right, then proceed down the series of pipes to the platform below. Continue west to the end of the walkway, then climb down to the large platform below. Collect all the boxes, eliminate the beetles, obtain the Cardkey, then head to the barrier and deactivate it. Enter through the next two doors to reach a large room. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Defeat the Gargoyles 2 / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O This is just like the previous area. You will need to target each Gargoyle in the region and shoot them down, but the rails will make it difficult to do so. You MAY need to jump/shoot to eliminate the targeted Gargoyle. There will be a machine at the bottom of the initial staircase, but it may be easier simply shooting them with your Cerberus on Long Barrel. When you have reached the end of the walkway, proceed through the door to reach the next large room. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Shoot the Rocket Launchers / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O They're all bunched together, but you cannot kill them. Instead, eliminate the sentry robot that approaches, hide behind the initial pillar, then run quickly to the second pillar. Hide behind the second pillar, elimiante the sentry robot, then run to the third pillar. Do the same to reach the last pillar, then leave through the door. (Don't waste your MP...) O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Defeat the Gargoyles 2 / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O This is just like the previous area. You will need to target each Gargoyle in the region and shoot them down, but the rails will make it difficult to do so. You MAY need to jump/shoot to eliminate the targeted Gargoyle. This time, I would suggest that you equip your Thunder Materia because the Gargoyles will come in an enormous flock. There's a Mako Point by the exit, should you need one. There will be a machine gun about halfway through this room, but I suggest using Thunder Materia or your Machine Gun / Blast Machine Gun. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O When you have reached the exit, proceed into the next room, then melee down the Soldier in front of you quickly before the other has pushed the machine gun to the end of the walkway. After the first Soldier has been eliminated, obtain the Cardkey, deactivate the barrier, then head halfway down the walkway, stopping at the console on your left. Jump into the air and shoot down the Soldier that is pushing the machine gun. Once this has been done, exit through the door ahead. Enter through the next door either with caution, or a Limit Break. Kill the Soldiers on the other side of the door quickly, otherwise it will be harder. Should you fail, crouch under the pipe, kill the initial Soldier, head into the next room, jump over the next pipe, then kill the two other Soldiers. When you've entered the next room, quickly hug the wall on your left. Since the Soldiers here have shields, you will need to kill them with either your Limit Break, or your Materia. All the Soldiers will be on the walkway above you. Once they have been eliminated, enter the next room, kill the beetles, then pick up the Cardkey. Deactivate the barrier to the right of the entrance of this room, then proceed into the next room. The Soldiers here will begin shooting from above, but will jump down to the floor. While they're above, either attack them with Materia, or switch into a Limit Break. When they jump down to the floor, start assaulting them with basic melee attacks. The amount of Soldiers will appear endless, so proceed into the central-eastern door, access the wall console, then enter into the next room to initiate a cutscene. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Dragonfly PT / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O You have several targets to shoot down here. First, shoot the Gargoyles by casting Thunder Materia, and the sentry robots with basic weapon fire. The sentry robots can drop various items that can be used to assist you in the battle. The Dragonfly's rockets deal quite a bit of damage, so you need to stay on the move to avoid enemy fire. Your main target is the Dragonfly, but if it is out of range, you need to focus your attacks on the Gargoyles or robots roaming the area with a weapon other than the Blast Machine Gun or Rifle. Use the side pillars to hide from the rockets if needed. This will prevent enemy fire from the Dragonfly, but only if that pillar is on the same side as the Dragonfly. The Dragonfly will spend a lot of time behind the central structure, which is enough to make you scream. At that time, you will want to focus on both the Gargoyles and sentry robots. Simply repeat this process until you have defeated the Dragonfly. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS | | | | Equip: Thunder Materia (Gargoyles) | | Equip: Blast Machine Gun or Rifle, Long Barrel (Dragonfly PT) | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O After you've defeated the Dragonfly, access the console on the wall next to where the barrier previously stood, begin through the corridor, then follow the Soldier to reach a larger group of Soldiers. Eliminate them, then enter through the door on your left to initiate a cutscene. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Arachnero / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Shoot the shield to destroy it, but it will only disappear for a couple of seconds. This doesn't give you much time at all to shoot Nero. Once you've deactivated the shield, switch to your Blast Machine Gun and quickly shoot Nero until the shield has come back up. At that point, target a crystal that is activating the shield and shoot it down. As you repeat this process, you will notice that the environment has become more difficult, so keep a watchful eye on your surroundings. With that said, begin running around the platform in a circular motion and don't stop, otherwise the crystals will shoot you down, and they can cause quite a bit of damage. When they have been destroyed, eliminate the shield protecting Nero. He will then plunge down below and back onto the floating platform. Do not stop circling around the perimeter, as this creates several fireballs that will be coming regularly. Some time later, the crystals will respawn again, prompting you to start back from destroying the crystals. After you have brought Nero down to 50% HP, Nero will plunge down into the lava and Phase 1 will end. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS | | | | Equip: Cerberus (Shield) | | Equip: Blast Machine Gun, Long Barrel (Nero) | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Gorgonero / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O The bad part about this is that he has probably consumed most of the items you brought into this battle. When Nero spawns in the distance, equip the Hydra or Cerberus and shoot at him. If he spawns right next to you, hold off on the ammo and perform your basic melee attacks. You'll only get one shot, and he will attack the moment he forms, so after you've located his circle of darkness, shoot him the moment you get a lock, otherwise he will shoot you several times. This can become a pain when you run low on Potions. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS | | | | Equip: Cerberus or Hydra (Distance) | | Equip: Melee, (Close) | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O After the battle, talk to Yuffie, buy some supplies at the Jukebox, then go down to the door that Nero entered through. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Weiss / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O Just die... Save your ammo... Save your Potions. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Weiss 2 / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O The most complicating part of this battle is his Agility. Equip your Hydra or Cerberus, use the nearby pods to shield yourself, and don't stop moving around the room. Shoot Weiss while running in the opposite direction. This will ensure that you don't take as much damage as you possibly could. Be careful that you don't trap yourself in the corner, otherwise Weiss may take that chance to his advantage. If you get too close, Weiss performs an incredibly powerful shockwave that has knockback and causes lots of damage. This is when you need to back away and perform a double-jump. Watch for it when he jumps into the air. When he spins his swords around, he's invincible, but you need to move out of his way, otherwise the attack will hit you hard. When he transports to the central platform, run around the room quickly in a circular motion to avoid his powerful energy attack.

Simply follow the path, target an enemy, then shoot it. Simply follow the path forward until you drop down to the inside of a large pipe, proceed towards the darkened area of the tunnel, then exit out to the right. Follow the path to eventually initiate a cutscene. You'll eventually arrive in a large complex. Begin around the corner and up the stairs, then follow the path to a large outdoor warehouse. Start up the stairs on the right, cross the walkway, circle around the pillar, climb the stairs to the platform above, then eliminate all the enemies which approach to initiate a cutscene. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O \ \ / Objective: Omega Report Files / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O File 4: Pick it up at the end of this circular pillar, located just before the stairs, prior to your encounter with the rest of the AVALANCHE Group. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O When you enter Omega, you will be unable to turn around, so you can't shoot the enemies attacking from behind. Instead, attack them after they come out in front of Vincent while avoding the lasers from behind. This will start a cutscene when you have progressed to next area. Shoot the enemies in the next area to be automatically taken ahead. At that point, follow the path to the top of the room to return outside. Shoot the enemies in your way, following the stream of light until you have reached the head of Omega.

As soon as they open, step inside the glimmering one quickly and strike it in melee combat to destroy it. Shoot the enemies using the Death Penalty, then repeat this process until the Omega Cocoon has rised to the top.

This is because of the fact that too many can become quite annoying. Bring them down to smaller numbers, then take a few hits at the Cocoon. Be careful of the invisible buildings in t his area, as they will block you from getting an accurate shot. O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O | | | CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS | | | | Equip: Death Penalty | | | O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- O O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O \ \ / Boss Battle: Omega Weiss / \ \ O =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= O The battle is simple! Avoid the lasers by strafing left and right shooting at Weiss with your Death Penalty. You will also sometimes deal more damage at a greater distance. The surrounding platforms will elevate, which may block you from venturing down the path you wish to go. If it happens, strafe the other way, but you cannot get close to Omega or he will pretty much crush you. He may eventually transport high above the arena, casting a powerful laser that will pretty much remove what's left of your health. Drink a Potion to bring your health up or you will die. Fortunately, this happens when he is at low health, so you shouldn't have to see it a second time. One final note about Omega Weiss, halfway through the battle he will begin sending a ton of disk fragments in your direction. Shoot them down or they will deal a string of damage. You need all your health potions for the end.
