Fort Condor: Defending area:
Soon after you make it through the Mythril Mine, you will see a tower. Go inside and agree to help. Begin talking to everyone about everything, but give no money. When they allow you to buy supplies and rest there, leave. After acquiring the Highwind, you can basically go anywhere. Fly the Highwind back to Fort Condor during Disc 3, and they need your help. Fight against outside creatures until you have about 75,000 gil, then enter the fort. When you reach the top tower, you need to defend the mountain. To do this, set it up in the following:
Information in this section was contributed by Kyle Davis.

Put "Tristoners" on every path and intersection.

Do the same with the other defending objects.

Use nothing but the moving characters with no strengths or weaknesses. When you attack men fall, build two more. When your defense falls, built two more slightly higher.

If an enemy soldier reaches very close to the top, find the moving character who has a strength to him and built two of them in order to destroy him.

If for some reason you lose the hill, you fight a Boss with a lot of HP but weak attacks. Simply use your level three magic, Deathblow and Mug. He will die quickly.

In Fort Condor, you do not need money. You also do not have to set up soldiers for the battle. Just wait for them to come to the cabin and you will fight the commander (which is not that difficult). Afterwards, it is the same as if you actually used soldiers, and will get the Huge Materia from the man inside.

To win the Fort Condor battles easily, you only need to deploy four attackers at the beginning of the battle. Place two of them on the far left, one in the middle, and one on the far right. At the start of the battle, have all four attackers go straight down the mountain as fast as possible, with the two attackers on the left heading towards the leftmost enemy and the other two attackers heading towards the rightmost enemy. When you are about three to four screen inches away from the enemy, do the following:

If it is a Beast, let your two attackers take care of it and deploy a fighter to help with the next enemy.

If it is a Barbarian, deploy a defender and let him take care of it. Move your attackers to the bottom of the screen to take on the last foe.

If it is a Wyvern, deploy a shooter to take care of it. Move your attackers down to deal with the second threat.

If done correctly, the battle will be over after only four kills. Because the screen only has to be empty of enemies, you do not have to kill all of them to win. Therefore, you can win any Fort Condor battle (even the final one) using only about 1200 gil (depending if you brought in more than six units). Note: If you are fast, you can win the battle by killing only the first two enemies.

Gold Saucer: Easy Chocobo race win:
If you have acquired a Chocobo that can run on mountains (Mountain, Black, or Gold), race with it. While in the race, your Chocobo will never slow down from things that usually affect other Chocobos (for example, the space area at the end of the short course or the underwater area in the long course).
Information in this section was contributed by SpunkyChicken2.

If you are going to race Chocobos you should always pick the short track because its easier to win. However, do not use up too much of your stamina, as you will need it at the end of the race. You should use the rest of your stamina at the end of the space zone.
Information in this section was contributed by AudioOAdrenaline.

Gold Saucer: Chocobo race with Tifa or Cid:
After you have started racing Chocobos, go to the Gold Saucer with Tifa or Cid in your party. After you register for a race, and have chosen whether you wanted to race the short or the long course, Cid or Tifa will appear and ask if they can race. You can either agree or disagree; as it does not affect your race in any way.

Gold Saucer: Easy Battle Square win:

Information in this section was contributed by Colby Turpin.

Equip Cid (at level 63 or higher) with the Venus Gospel, the Aurora Armlet (which protects against Ice), and the Peace Ring (protects against Berserk, Fury, Sadness, or Confusion). In two slots, put a mastered Cure with All. In the other two have a mastered Odin and at least a half mastered Hades. In the other two put two HP Pluses that are nearly mastered. In the bottom four slots put a nearly mastered MP Plus, a mastered Lightning, and in the other two put a mastered Fire plus an All. In the battle you will be almost undefeatable if you keep using Regen and casting Odin to instant kill. Also, Hades will put most enemies to sleep or put Slow on them and Frog and Confusion. Most of the attacks from the enemy (Ice and Water based) will heal you due to the Aurora Armlet. Your HP and MP will be astoundingly high, around 8500; and your MP will be around 800 to 850.
Information in this section was contributed by Patgoodrow.

Equip Cloud with Ribbon, and Mime Materia. Equip as many HP Pluses as possible. The only Materia needed is Mime, but you need a lot of HP for the trick. Get Omnislash first, and fill the limit bar in a real fight. Go to the Arena and have Cloud fight. Immediately use Omnislash. Continue to Mime, and only Mime. This will quickly win any battle, even the advanced battles available after Omnislash and W-Summon are bought for 32,000 BP and 64,000 BP. Use the trick to slow down the "spinner", to get a Frog or something else, which is blocked by the Ribbon. If you did not get the Ribbon in the Temple Of The Ancients, you can get more by morphing Master Tonberrys.
Information in this section was contributed by ENIGMApyroSKATER.

Have a Ribbon, Mime, and Omnislash, and be at least at level 50. When the battle starts, use Haste. After that use, Omnislash and Mime the rest of the way. For Ribbon, have it for the handicaps so Poison, Frog or any abnormal status does not affect you.

At the moment that you kill your last enemy, open the PlayStation's disc lid and wait for your active time bar to fill. Normally, you would only have a small amount filled. When your time bar is filled, you will have an easier chance to get the first strike. You may keep doing this trick throughout the entire battle. Remember, once you kill your last enemy in each round (except for the last round), immediately open the disc lid.

To win at the Battle Square in the Gold Saucer easily, equip a character who has a powerful Limit Break with an Enemy Skill Materia that has White Wind and a Mimic Materia. When the first battle starts, cast White Wind on yourself on the first turn. Then, use Mimic on every turn.You will stay at full HP without spending more MP. Do this until your limit bar fills, then use your Limit Break. Then, use Mimic on every turn and you will just keep doing the Limit Break. This even carries over between fights as long as you do not get the Command Materia disabled. If you get too low on HP, just cast White Wind again and start the process over.

Swamp: Crossing without a Chocobo:
To get across the swamp where the Zolom lives without a Chocobo, enter and keep running. If the Zolom is just about to enter a battle with you, save the game. Then reset, and load the saved game. The Zolom will be in a distant corner, giving you a chance to get across without a battle. If not, repeat those steps until you are across.
Information in this section was contributed by Tyler Wright.

Walk up to the edge of the marsh, without actually entering it. Save the game, and reset. Walk about a third of the way through the marsh area, watching for the Zolom as you go. Do not try to push it too far, or the Zolom will catch you. When you have gone one third of the way (or however far without getting caught), save the game and reset. When you load your game, hold Up. Even when the screen is black and is still loading, keep it held. Continue on about another third of the way, and save the game. Reset and repeat until you reach the Mythril Mine. When you load the game and are facing the Mythril Mine, the Midgar Zolom does not appear for about three seconds. During this time, you can move towards the mine without being caught. Even when the Zolom appears, it always appears in the top left-hand corner of the marsh. It is not a random selection, and can never suddenly appear on top of you. However, when you get closer to the mine you must be more careful, because it starts out closer to you. However, you still have time to move around without him coming near you. Note: This trick will not work if you just go to the menu screen and exit again -- you must save and reset.
