Here we enter what is effectively the game's first dungeon, if you aren't counting the Mako Reactor in the prologue section. Not too far in we get split up, with Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith in one group and Barret and Red XIII in the other. Dungeons are generally pretty straight forward, with some branching paths that lead to chests and usually a puzzle or two to bar your way.

As Cloud's group, we fight Rude and Elaina. Elaina goes down easier and is the more aggressive of the two, so it makes her a prime one to target first. Elaina attacks with hand-to-hand and utilizes firearms. She can shoot you from a distance, send you flying with a kick, or stun you with a grenade. She and Rude will do a joint attack midway through the fight. Rude will mostly keep his distance and try to hit you with shockwaves from afar or go defensive if you get close, countering you if you attack blindly.

As Barret's group, we fight the Mythril Golem. This boss has breakable limbs that regrow, but breaking them stuns it. Barret can focus fire on the limbs at a distance pretty effectively and Thunder will deal a lot of damage to it. when its limbs are broken, it becomes Pressured and can be Staggered more easily.

"Pressured" is a state which enemies enter when you do some specific action against them, which causes their Stagger gauge to build up significantly faster. This varies from enemy to enemy, but it's usually "attack with their weakness" for regular enemies. Bosses usually have something more complex, like destroying a limb like this one.

Once we clear the cave, we can then go to the next open world area.
