1) i was doing some reading on tips to beat Emerald Weapon and it mentioned using Knights of the Round in conjunction with Mime and W-Summon (and equipping a Gravity Materia for 9,999 damage each attack). call me an idiot, but i have no clue about either KOTR, W-Summon or Mime. i haven't encountered them in my journey so far and i think i am pretty far into the game - about to jump into the North Cave to go after Sephiroth, right after I killed Hojo and prevented the Sister Ray from being fired. did I miss these Materias along the way, or do i still have further to go before i find them? isn't the main storyline almost over? i hate that feeling of missing a bunch of stuff that i can't go back to :( (like the limit breaks for Aeris - i exchanged the Mithril AFTER she died, of course... d'oh!!)

2) how the hell did anyone find out to morph the Ghost Ship in the Underwater Reactor area to get the Guide Book that you give to the gentleman in Kalm?? i really would have never had any clue about this unless i read these tip pages. is there some clue i passed along the way that would hint about getting this item? i know after I beat Emerald and Ruby Weapons i get the other pieces that this gentleman wants, so at least i'm on the right track but man, i'm still amazed someone figured that out :D

3) i defeated the original Weapon above the Cosmo Canyon area and finally have gained access to that weird jungle area. i'm not looking for a spoiler, but could someone prod me in the right direction in this area? i already got Vincent's weapon from the carnivorous plant, but i can't seem to get further than this.

you know what's great about this game? i thought i had beaten it years ago when it first came out on PS, but now, going back through it on the PC, i realized how much i missed the first time and surprisingly i DIDN'T beat the entire game. so from here on out, everything is new to me. this game still stuns me with its depth and playability.

anyways thanks for any responses!

I'm just skimming your post....

1. But you need the Golden Chocobo to get most of that stuff and you may find other Materia in Battle Square and the Chocobo Point Prizes.

2. The same way people found out how to get the good ending of Valkyrie Profile....a guide. Or dumb luck.

3. Don't remember.... go to Gamefaq.com and look at the FAQ for FF7.

KOTR is obtained with a Golden Chocobo and by going to the very North-Eastern corner of the world. Its not on the map, but theres a small island there. Only way to get it, besides getting the Summon All materia.

Even without KOTR its a fairly simple fight, but long and tedious. Omnislash+Highwind+Lucky 7's will definetly take big chunks out of Emerald. Ruby on the other hand is just hell with his two MP and HP absorbing tentacles.

thanks for the tips. I just obtained Omnislash from the Battle Arena (do you get this limit normally either way? cause i just spent a long ass time raising the battle points to get it...)

my plan is to have one character equipped only with Gravity and HP Plus materia, while Cloud does his thing with Omnislash. so far i've been beaten each time but i'm also not super built up yet - around level 65 or so.

as for the Gold Chocobo, do i have to go through the entire process of catching, raising and breeding chocobos to produce one, or can you only get one after beating the Weapons and giving the items to the guy in Kalm?

Either bring the 3 items to the dude in Kalm, or raise it. Either or will do. And no, the only way to get Omnislash is through there.

You know I never noticed that... it is plural. But whenever I type it like Gamefaq.com it just redirects to Gamefaqs.com, anyway.

Geez, I've been saying it non-plural for years already.
