Chapter 7 Walkthrough: Pre-notes

The World Intel in Corel is a little different. It's split into parts, and locked behind main story progression. You can do all of these "north" ones now, or before you leave Chapter 7. You cannot even access the south ones now.

Do Rendezvous in Costa del Sol Sidequest to unlock the Chocobo in this area.

Toward Mt. Corel

Mountain Trek

Split Up

Left of the resting point is a purple chest with Wizard's Rod (Aerith Weapon). Coincidentally you'll be traveling with Aerith and Red for a bit! There's an MP Up (lol) eastern “tip” of the level where Yuffies first chalk drawing is.

Just keep climbing for now, no other major loot.

Shinra Helicopter

Boss: Custom Valkyrie

Weak to Lightning and Wind. Elemental weakness pressures. If using Cooling Protocol, it's easier to pressure. Dodge the Particle Ray Cannon, it's actually deadly - especially the final one.

Mahiko San Notes: Use Enemy Skill Plasma Discharge. Style on this fool with Counterfire, and Cloud+Red Synergy Ability (NAME? lol) ranged attack. Use Aerith's new Lustrous Shield to help out with projectiles.

INTERLUDE 2

To the Summit

Unlock the Gate

Corel Reactor

State of the Reactor

Brave Leader Yuffie

Leaving the Reactor Behind

Thankfully you unlock a fast travel node here, and the ability to go back to the open world if you so choose.

Reach the Control Panel

Now, you're forced to use Yuffie, Barret, and Tifa. Backtrack from the resting point and go to the dead end just slightly south and east of this down the stairs for a chest with 1700 gil.

Conveyor Power Source

Get a Grappling Hook

Activate the Generator

Unlock the Elevator

Purple Chest has Twin Viper (Yuffie Weapon) cant miss it. It has one materia slot right now, so It's a bit sad trying to get the skill. Go up the Conveyor.

Lost? Where to go in the Corel Mines Grappling Area:

If you're lost at this point, I don't blame you. So there's two options, the grapple into a chest across the ravine - and the other side which has a zipline which leads "nowhere".

Go to the “waterfall with treasure chest on other side” grappling zone. Grapple across (you'll see the far away treasure), look up, and backwards, and right. You'll see a flaglike thing you have to hit with your Shuriken (Triangle). It should be pretty clear from there!

Continue Your Search

Before going into the mines, climb down first. It's the chest you saw earlier, with 3 Exquisite Beast Hides. You need ‘em to transmute some accessories. Thankfully, there's a resting point nearby.

On your first encounter with a cockatrice, climb the ladder near the resting point. That grappling puzzle (look around as you grapple) leads to an Illusionists Armband.

Further down, after the double cockatrice fight, go right for a Purple chest with Barrage Blaster (Barret weapon).

Reach The Generator

Confused grappling again getting to the generator switch? While grappling to the flag, look left and continue grappling along.

Unlock the Elevator (yep, again)

Ruling the Roost

By now, you should know all the grappling tricks. You'll eventually get to a resting point guarded by a Bomb which you have to solo with Yuffie.

PREPARE FOR BOSS: Before proceeding, make sure you got GOLD NEEDLE from the shop (coincidentally on sale), Fire Materia, and Poison Materia is a good bonus. Item Economizer helps as well.

Boss: Gigatrice

Interesting mechanics. It's weak to Fire and IMMUNE TO WIND (unlike other flyers). Hit it heavily while it's flying. Using elemental magic on cyclones turns them into a cyclone of that element - hit him with it and he gets pressured. Use Fire.

This team is excellent at dealing with flyers, and he won't be flying for long. Smack it with heavy abilities to ground him, and you can only target cyclones that will ground him ASAP so make sure to check if you can target the cyclones with fire spells.

Set Their Route

Back in Corel

Tifa's Acquaintance

Proceed with the main story until fast travel is unlocked. It's only a few minutes. There's a Sidequest, New QB Opponents, and a QB card pack from the Weapons Vendor.

REMINDER: If you missed it, there's a Revival Materia at North Corel town. Jump off a ledge in front of the doctors office.

Ropeway Bound

You get a message that “you won't be able to return to North Corel for some time”, so if you wanna do side content, nows the time (You can only do World Intel in "North" Corel for now). Onwards to Chapter 8!
