Cheat Codes/Hints
Avoiding the Midgar Zolom
When you must cross the marsh near the Chocobo Ranch, you are supposed to get a Chocobo. Get whatever you want from the ranch, then position yourself as far out into the marsh without actually stepping in it. Wait until the snake goes way off to the left and run straight across without looking back. You should make it in the nick of time. Note: Save before attempting this, as it may require more than one attempt.
Cast magic three times at an opponent
Have all characters have Reflect status. Cast any attack spell on all three of your characters. The spell will bounce three times into the enemy, each with the attack power of a full spell.
Cheat Codes
Press the following buttons to achieve the desired effect.
- Toggle random encounters.
- Refill health and Limit Break meters.
Defeating Materia Keeper
When fighting the Materia Keeper, he will most likely kill all of your other fighters first, leaving only Cloud. Cast Regen on Cloud and keep using Cures to heal him after the Materia Keeper uses his strong attacks such "Hell Combo" and "Trine". Cloud will fill his Limit Break bar. Use the Limit Breaks and keep repeating until the Materia Keeper has been defeated.
Defeating Reno
To defeat Reno and his bodyguard (the Turks) when you fight them for the first time, make sure that you heal all the time. Free your trapped comrades from his "Pyramid". Defeat his bodyguard first, then go after Reno.
Defeating Techno Soldier
When fighting Techno Soldier near the beginning of Disc 1, attack him in the back and use Bolt. This will easily deal over 1,000 HP of damage if timed correctly. It is best give either Tifa or Barret Bolt so that both can attack while using the back attack strategy.
Defeating the Midgar Zolom
Have Barret in your party with Fury on. The Midgar Zolom will give him a Limit Break in one hit. Have Barret on the bottom of your menu and all characters in the back row. Use the other characters to heal and use Barret's first Limit Break as Mindblow. This will zap the Zolom's magic, away rendering Beta useless. Also, if your characters have Sadness level 26, Zolom will only do 900 damage at maximum with Beta. Beta is also an Enemy Skill. Zap his energy, use Bio, and defeat him.
Defeating Ultimate Weapon
During Disc 3, find the Ultimate Weapon hovering over a lake. Defeat it and it will retreat as before. If you happen to find it hovering around the ocean, run in to it. This will make it find a new place to destroy. Defeat it each time you see it hovering over one place. The final battle with it will take place over Cosmo Canyon. After you defeat it there, it will crash to the ground. This will give you access to the Antiant Forest and Cloud's Ultimate Weapon.
Easy Battle Square handicaps
During the "slot machine" handicap sequence, rapidly tap Square in the Battle Square section at Gold Saucer. The slots will slow down, allowing an easier selection of your handicap. Note: This trick will also work in a similar manner with Cait Sith's limit break.
Easy Chocobo races
While racing a Chocobo, hold R1 + R2 to slowly restore energy.
