Final Fantasy VII Walkthrough - Mako Reactor One Items in this area: One Phoenix Down, Three Potions and Restore Materia
The game will begin with an FMV (a graphically enhanced animation). You start
off aiding a terrorist organisation named AVALANCHE set against the Shinra who
are operating Mako reactors (these use Mako energy - the planets natural energy
source). Your mission for this event will be to blow up Mako reactor one in
AVALANCHES mission to save the planet.
Once the FMV has finished you will gain control of the Games main character,
Cloud (default name). Jump off the train and follow Barret (default name). On
the platform you will encounter Shinra soldiers and will need to fight them, at
this stage it's easiest just to attack each solider consecutively until they
die, don't worry about magic yet (also do not run away from these fights as they
will provide experience and you will win potions).
Continue running and you will meet up with everyone at the gate. An Avalanche
member names Biggs will ask for your name. AVALANCHE will open the gate. Proceed
to follow them and Barret will stop you and tell you he doesn't trust you and
that he will be coming with you, here you will get to name Barret. Follow
AVALANCHE to the security gate and then talk to Biggs and he will open the gate.
Follow AVALANCHE member Jesse to the elevator and Biggs will tell you how to
manoeuvre around the complex so talk to him if you need any help. Push the
button in the elevator and it will take you to the lower level, follow the
general path to the bomb (alternative doors will be closed so there won't be any
confusion). Once the bomb is detonated a boss will appear.
Boss: Guard Scorpion
Use lightening and regular attacks here. The Scorpion will counter attack you if
his tail is raised, which will consequently raise your limit meter (limit
attacks are useful here) At some point during the battle the scorpion will start
to shake, don't attack him when he does because he will use his laser weapon
which takes roughly 75 HP to both characters. Use potions to heal and you should
win this quick fight easily.
Once you have one this battle a timer will appear in the top right hand corner
(this continues to count down during and outside of battle encounters)
indicating that you have ten minutes to get out of the reactor. On the way out
you'll see Jesse, whose leg is stuck. Talk to her to help her, if you don't you
wont be able to open the security doors above and will need to go back for her.
Once you reach the top-level talk to Jesse and Biggs again so they release the
locks. When you leave the reactor the way you came in you'll see another FMV.
