Tips

  • Equipping Ice Materia linked to Elemental or standard offensive magic across multiple party members is crucial for the major combat encounters inside this reactor.
  • When encountering unpowered blast doors, search the immediate vicinity for yellow-wheeled power cables or generators that need to be dragged and plugged into matching sockets.
  • Switching control to Tifa or Cloud allows you to quickly pressure the Specimen H1024 once its elemental barrier drops during its power collection phases.
