Sector 7 Plate Support
Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith arrive at Sector 7 to find Shinra attacking the support pillar in an attempt to crush the slums below. Aerith takes Marlene to safety while Cloud and Tifa climb the winding stairs, fighting through waves of Shinra troops to aid Barret at the summit. At the top, the party confronts Reno to stop the plate detonation sequence before making a desperate escape.

Enemies
Counters physical attacks with his electro-mag rod and incapacitates characters with Pyramid.
Beast often deployed alongside Shinra infantry on the stairs.

Tips
- Equip the Poison Materia to hit Reno with Bio, as he is vulnerable to the status effect and it will chip away at his HP while you manage his Pyramid attacks.
- Use a basic physical attack from an unaffected ally to shatter the Pyramid Reno traps a character in.
- This entire sequence is a point of no return for the Sector 7 Slums; make sure you have collected everything from the train graveyard and slum district before finishing the climb.
