FINAL FANTASY VII guide · Waking up in the church after falling from the plate

After falling from the Sector 5 reactor, Cloud awakens on a flower bed inside a dilapidated church and meets Aeris. Reno of the Turks arrives shortly after to capture her, forcing an escape across the rooftops toward Aeris's home. You must then safely guide Aeris through the surrounding slum streets and head toward Wall Market.

Tips

When sneaking out of Aeris's house at night, walk instead of running to prevent the floorboards from creaking and waking her up.
