Midgar Highway
FINAL FANTASY VII guide · The motorcycle escape sequence
← All areas in this guide
Cloud rides a motorcycle to protect the rest of the party in their pickup truck as they flee the Shinra Building along the highway. You must fight off attacking Shinra cyclists and machines during the chase to prevent the party's vehicle from losing too much health. The sequence concludes at the end of the road with a boss battle against Motor Ball.
Enemies
Shinra Combatant (Orange)
Motorcyclist that tries to ram or attack the truck and Cloud
Shinra Combatant (Red)
Motorcyclist that primarily targets Cloud with sword slashes
Motor Ball
Weak to Lightning
Multi-segmented boss fought immediately after the motorcycle chase ends
Tips
- Swing Cloud's Buster Sword using the shoulder buttons to knock enemy cyclists away before they can deal heavy damage to the truck.
- Position Cloud between aggressive enemy bikes and the pickup truck to act as a physical shield.
- The amount of damage the party's truck sustains during the motorcycle chase directly determines the starting HP of your team members in the Motor Ball battle.
- Equip the Lightning Materia on your primary magic caster before starting the chase, as Motor Ball takes heavy damage from Thunder spells.
