Mt. Corel

FINAL FANTASY VII guide · Traveling toward the Gold Saucer

The party traverses the rocky heights and abandoned railway tracks of Mt. Corel to reach the impoverished town of North Corel. Along the tracks, Cloud must lower a bridge and optionally navigate crumbling rails to collect hidden treasures before reaching Barret's hometown. After a cold reception from the villagers in North Corel, the team boards a ropeway tram heading straight to the Gold Saucer.

When climbing the cliff above the railway bridge, choosing to take the treasure from the bird's nest gives 10 Phoenix Downs, but forces a battle with the protective Cokatolis parent birds.Stepping on certain weakened wooden sections of the elevated train tracks causes Cloud to fall, but rapidly pressing the confirm button while falling allows him to steer toward hidden treasure chests in the caverns below.

Tips

Equip the Steal materia on a fast party member to steal a Diamond Pin from Bagnadrana, which serves as a powerful weapon upgrade for Red XIII at this point in the game.
If you miss jumping to a treasure chest when falling through the railway tracks, you can walk back up and drop through the hole again as many times as needed.
