I. Introduction
----------------

If you are afraid of this FAQ spoiling the game for you, then please do not
continue any further. So read this at your own risk. This is the first FAQ
that I've ever written so please bear with me here. But I promise that my
FAQ's will get better as I continue to write more. Just to let you know, I
finished this game about three years ago, and I noticed that there wasn't a
Boss FAQ so I decided to write one. So I hope that the information here is
at least 95% accurate.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------
II. Version History
--------------------

Version 1.0: May 8, 2002
The "Birth" of my Boss FAQ. Stopped at Reno and Rude. I believe that's enough
for one day. :)

Version 1.3: May 23, 2002
Fixed my FAQ so all lines now contain less than 79 characters.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Legend

This is the order of the information that my FAQ of the bosses will be in.

Boss Strategy:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------
IV. Disk 1
---------------------

Name: Guard Scorpion
HP: 800
MP: 0
Attacks: Search Scope, Scorpion Tail, Rifile Tail, Tail Laser
Location: Mako Reactor No. 1
Elemental Weakness: Lightning
Morph: n/a
Steal: n/a
Experience Points: 100
AP: 10
Gil: 100

Your very first boss is extremely easy. It's robotic so it's weakness is
lightning. Have Cloud use his "Bolt" spell while Barret uses his normal
attack. After several attacks, the Guard Scorpion will raise it's tail. If you
were paying attention to Cloud, he warned Barret to be careful. From that
point, DO NOT attack the Guard Scorpion while it's tail is up. Use that time
to heal any weak characters. Once the tail is down, continue to pummel the
boss with your attacks. You'll recieve an "Assault" Gun after defeating it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Air Buster
HP: 1200
MP: 0
Attacks: Counter Attack, Big Bomber, Rear Gun
Location: Mako Reactor No. 5
Elemental Weakness: Lightning
Morph: n/a
Steal: n/a
Experience Points: 180
AP: 16
Gil: 150

This boss is also simple and is also robotic. So use Bolt again as much as you
possibly can. Your attacks will also be more effective when you hit Air Buster
in the back. Always use your Limit Breaks when they are fully charged. After
defeating the Air Buster, you will be rewarded with a "Titan Bangle".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Aps
HP: 1800
MP: 0
Attacks: Sewer, Tsunami Tail
Location: Sewers
Elemental Weakness: Fire
Morph: n/a
Steal: n/a
Experience Points: 240
AP: 22
Gil: 53

Aps strongest attack is the Tsunami Tail that causes damage to your entire
party, AND himself. Have Aeris use "Fire" while the other two use their normal
attacks and Limit Breaks.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Reno
HP: 1000
MP: 0
Attacks: Pyramid, Electro-mag Rod
Location: Support Pillar
Elemental Weakness: Fire, Ice
Morph: n/a
Steal: n/a
Experience Points: 290
AP: 22
Gil: 500

Reno's most dangerous attacks are the Pyramid and Electro-mag Rod. The
Electro-mag Rod can temporarily paralyze your victim. The only thing you
can do is wait until that party member recovers. The Pyramid will entrap your
character in a gold pyramid that also paralyzes them. You can destroy the
pyramid by having a non affected member attack the pyramid. Make sure you use
your Limit Breaks and keep your HP up. Free your characters when they are
trapped immediately and use "Fire" and "Ice".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Sample: HO512
HP: 120
MP: 0
Attacks: n/a
Location: Shinra HQ's
Elemental Weakness: Fire
Morph: n/a
Steal: n/a
Experience Points: 300
AP: 30
Gil: 250

This boss will come equipped with its own henchmen. DO NOT attack the smaller
creatures because HO512 will just re-create them. Concentrate your attacks on
the main boss. HO512 will always be in the back so only members with
long-range weapons like Barret can attack it. Your members will get constantly
poisoned so don't even bother to use antidotes. Use Barret for normal attacks
and use other party members for magic. Make sure you use your Limit Breaks
when fully charged. You will get a "Talisman" for defeating this boss. After
defeating this boss, make sure you give Aeris "Lightning" and "Restore"
materia. Also give Red XIII at least one materia.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Hundred Gunner
HP: 1600
MP: 0
Attacks: Main Artillery, Wave Artillery
Location: Shinra Elevator
Elemental Weakness: Lightning
Morph: Aux Artillery
Steal: Hidden Artillery
Experience Points: 330
AP: 35
Gil: 300

Once again, only members with long-range attacks can damage this boss. If you
paid attention to what I said earlier, you shouldn't be in too much trouble.
Have Barret use his normal attacks. Have Red XIII use his magic and Aeris use
"Bolt". Use your Limit Breaks as much as you can. After defeating Hundred
Gunner, it transforms in to Heli Gunner!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Heli Gunner
HP: 1000
MP: 0
Attacks: Flying Drill, C Cannon
Location: Shinra Elevator
Elemental Weakness: Lightning
Morph: AB Cannon
Steal: Firing Line
Experience Points: 250
AP: 25
Gil: 200

Use the same strategy that you used against Hundred Gunner. After defeating
both bosses, you will be rewarded with a Mythril Armlet. Now equip Cloud with
"Restore", and "All". Also place "Elemental" and "Bolt" combination in his
armor. You will now have to fight two bosses at the same time using only
Cloud!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Dark Nation
HP: 140
MP: 80
Attacks: Bolt, Barrier
Location: Shinra Tower
Elemental Weakness: n/a
Morph: n/a
Steal: n/a
Experience Points: 70
AP: 7
Gil: 250

Kill this panther FIRST, and then go after Rufus. It's Bolt attack is
powerful, but if you listened above, it's not going to be a big problem. Dark
Nation will cast protective spells on himself and Rufus, so use magic spells
instead.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Rufus
HP: 500
MP: 0
Attacks: Shotgun
Location: Shinra Tower
Elemental Weakness: n/a
Morph: n/a
Steal: n/a
Experience Points: 240
AP: 35
Gil: 400

After defeating Dark Nation, use spells to take down Rufus. Heal ONLY when
your HP goes in to critical. Use your Limit Break when charged. After
defeating both bosses, you will get a "Protect Vest" and "Guard Source".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Motor Ball
HP: 2600
MP: 120
Attacks: Arm Attack, Twin Burner, Rolling Fire
Location: Highway
Elemental Weakness: Lightning
Morph: n/a
Steal: n/a
Experience Points: 440
AP: 45
Gil: 350

The damage you recieved from the Motorcycle chase will transfer to this boss
fight. Make sure that you use "Bolt" because this is a robotic boss and "Bolt"
will cause major damage. Use normal attacks with your other party members and
keep your HP up. You get a "Star Pendant" for killing this boss.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Bottomswell
HP: 2500
MP: 100
Attacks: Tail Attack, Moonstrike, Big Wave, Water Bubble Attack
Location: Junon Harbor
Elemental Weakness: Wind
Morph: n/a
Steal: n/a
Experience Points: 550
AP: 52
Gil: 1000

This is a flying boss, so make sure Barret is in your party. I also recommend
having Cloud and Aeris. Have Barret use his normal attack and equip Cloud with
the "Long-Range" materia. His Water Attack Bubble will entrap a party member
in a bubble and it will suck the HP slowly. This bubble can only be destroyed
by magic. Give Aeris the "Bolt" and "All" combination so she can attack the
bubbles and the boss. Make sure you use the Guardian Summon "Choco/Mog"
because it is weak against Wind elements. The Enemy Skills "Matra Magic" and
"Flamethrower" are also effective. His Big Wave will damage your whole party
for about 100 HP each. It will also use the Big Wave as a FINAL ATTACK before
it dies, so make sure your characters are around 150 HP or higher.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Jenova-Birth
HP: 4000
MP: 110
Attacks: Tail Laser, Stop, W-Laser, Gas
Location: Shinra Boat
Elemental Weakness: n/a
Morph: n/a
Steal: n/a
Experience Points: 680
AP: 64
Gil: 800

Its Tail Laser is its strongest attack. It does around 200 HP damage and it
sometimes does it TWICE in a row. Keeping your HP up is a huge priority.
Jenova can even cast "Stop" on one of your characters. Use "Shiva",
"Choco/Mog", and "Quake" to deal damage. Use the Enemy Skill "Flamethrower"
to deal some more damage. Make sure you use your Limit Breaks. You'll recieve
a "White Cape" for defeating Jenova.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Dyne
HP: 1200
MP: 20
Attacks: Needle Gun, S-Mine, Molotov Cocktail
Location: GS Prison Desert
Elemental Weakness: n/a
Morph: n/a
Steal: n/a
Experience Points: 600
AP: 55
Gil: 750

This is a one on one fight between Barret and Dyne. His S-Mine attack will
usually be used right after his normal attack, and it will deal around 300 HP.
Your Limit Break will be built up rather quickly so use that. Dyne usually
uses the Molotov Cocktail as a FINAL ATTACK or when is HP gets low, and that
does around 150 HP. You'll receive a "Silver Armlet" after beating him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Rude
HP: 2000
MP: 135
Attacks: Punch, Fire, Cure
Location: Gongaga
Elemental Weakness: n/a
Morph: n/a
Steal: n/a
Experience Points: 720
AP: 70
Gil: 2000

You will now have to face both Rude and Reno. Go after Rude first because Rude
performs most of the healing in this battle. Before the battle, have somebody
equipped with the Fire Ring and the "Elemental-Fire" Materia combo in to their
armor. Have Aeris use her "Seal Evil" Limit Break ASAP. The Limit Break should
paralyze both enemies.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Reno
HP: 2000
MP: 80
Attacks: Slap, Turk Light, Electropod
Location: Gongaga
Elemental Weakness: n/a
Morph: n/a
Steal: n/a
Experience Points: 660
AP: 60
Gil: 1500

Read Rude's strategy above. You will receive a "X-Potion" and "Fairy Tale" for
winning.
