This is video #003 in my Final Fantasy VII playthrough. In the depths of the No. 1 Reactor, Cloud and Barret set their bomb and face off with the game's first boss, Guard Scorpion. Not too hard. Have Cloud blast it with Bolt. Barret can attack and throw Potions when necessary. When anyone's Limit bar fills, use a Limit attack on this beast. When Guard Scorpion raises its tail, just sit back or heal with Potions until the tail goes down again.
After the battle, we have ten minutes to escape. Not too hard. As you're climbing, be sure to help Jessie, or you'll have to come back.
After some fireworks, the group escapes to Sector 8, where they have to separate and get to the train. Cloud has to get there alone. Along the way, he will find a young woman selling flowers. The conversation itself does not change affection points, but if you buy a flower, it can be used to change affection points in the near future. If you want to date Yuffie, you should not buy a flower from her. If you want to date Barret or Tifa, you should buy one. For Aeris, it doesn't much matter.
As Cloud gets close to the train tracks, some MPs will attack. The third group can catch Cloud in a pincer attack, but otherwise, there's nothing to them. When the train rolls by, Cloud hops onto it and surprises his new comrades in Avalanche.
Thank you for watching!
