With the creatures dead, go up the steps to the west and wrap around up the next steps immediately to your left to reach the Mauvestar Chamber, where you'll be on the wall. Swim forward and climb out, going up the steps ahead and then up to the left to fight two more Cthonilizards and a Blight Frog. Go to where they were and you'll need to head off the edge yourself, falling into the water below. Go left at the top of the vines and you'll see two Shinra soldiers leap off the waterfall. Pull it into the southeastern corner so that you can climb up onto it and reach the vines dangling above.

Once they are all defeated, approach the giant square containing the blue orb and begin dragging it around with L2. Head to the far side of the square and down the steps, through the automatic gate, to confront Riot Troopers, Security Officers, and a 2-C SOLDIER Operator. Reaching the top of that set of vines, then climb the next set of vines all the way to the top. Switch the gravity so that you are on the wall (standing on the same wall as the robed figure), and then begin climbing the vines on the wall.

Continue west then go up the steps to the right to reach the Azurestar Chamber. Interact and switch the gravity so that you are back on the floor, then head out and you'll fight two Cthonilizards and an Ancient Dragon down to the left.Ĭontinue north and then head left as you see the green lifestream trails floating ahead, where you'll see a Special Forces Operator be dragged/fall through the stream. Climb all the way to the left and you'll reach the Jadestar Chamber - Ceiling. After defeating both, go through the opening to the north and then go up the stairs to the right where you can begin climbing the vines at the top. Go down the various steps outside, looping down until you confront two Ancient Dragons. Pull the right analog stick down to flip the gravity so that you are now on the ceiling. Interact with the floating diamond-shaped structure and you'll be able to change the direction of gravity. Once defeated, head up the steps to the north and you'll arrive at the Rubystar Chamber ahead of you. You'll need to be careful of the Cthonilizard's 'Salientian Sigh' attack as the breath can transform you into a frog which you'll need a Maiden's Kiss, Remedy, or Esuna spell to break out of. Head down the steps to the east and follow the path down and around, opening up an automatic barrier at the bottom to enter into combat against two Blight Frogs and a Cthonilizard. Meanwhile on the Path of Guidance within the Labyrinth, the Turks hear fighting outside as Tseng orders Elena to come with him while Reno and Rude pair up to continue the search. Defeat the Security Officer and two Riot Troopers you find on the other side and then push open the next set of doors to emerge out into the labyrinth. Cid and Vincent agree to stay behind and wait for your return as you head up the steps and push open the doors at the top.Īfter hearing about Sephiroth from a cloaked Roche, head aross the Union Room to the north side and slip through the gap in the doors. Once they are all defeated, head up the main path directly to the north and Vincent will note that Fiends killed the men on the ground. Back in the boat, continue due north and eventually dock up.ĭuring this fight you might draw the attention of the other two enemy clusters, each with Security Officers, Elite Security Officers, Elite Grenadiers, and additional 2-C's. As you draw closer, the skies will dim and you'll cut to Rufus and Hojo on a helicopter overhead discussing how the temple is the stage for the 'beginning of the end'.īelow, as Tseng inserts the keystone into an altar, the temple of the Ancients assembles itself. Pilot the Bronco boat due north out into the open sea, and aim for the objective marker on the compass of your HUD. Vincent, listening into the chatter, confirms that Shinra are heading for the northern continent, and Cid agrees to set off in that direction too. Reno awakens in the back of the chopper as Tseng boards with the keystone.

Chapter 13 - Where Angels Fear to TreadĪt the Junon Aerodrome, Elena and Rude hear over the radio that all units are en route to the temples location, where they discuss the legend of those that enter the temple disappearing.
