When do you get highwind

Just keep hammering away with regular attacks until the fight is over and use Hi-Potions or X-Potions out of your inventory if you run into trouble. Cait Sith will free Barret who will then attempt to free Tifa from her cell to no avail. Following that there will be a few more cinematic scenes involving Junon, the big cannon aka the Sister Ray and Weapon. Take a right when you get outside of the press room. Speak to the woman dressed up like a reporter as you pass to find out that it is actually Yuffie in disguise.

Another short cutscene will follow while you speak to her and she will join your party. Continue towards the camera until you reach the Junon Airport pictured in the screenshot below. Use the yellow control panel to raise the platform up to the top level and then run towards the huge airship off in the distance to continue the story.

The story returns back to Tifa who is slowly being gassed in the execution chamber. There is no time limit for completing these actions as Tifa can apparently hold her breath forever. In order to get yourself free you will have to press the following buttons:. Press the orange button on the left side to stop the gas from pouring out. The next thing you have to do is stop a train from moving the Huge Materia out of the Corel reactor. You can pilot the Highwind to two places; North Corel, and then work your way back through the old train tracks to the Makoro furnace, or you can land at the nearby cave-like entrance that leads to the furnace and take the train from there.

Either way, you'll still have to do a bit of walking, so it's up to you check out section 3. Anyway, once you reach the furnace, head to the center and you'll be attacked by some Shinra guards easy to defeat. After you do them in, a train will leave the furnace. What you have to do is catch up with it before it leaves the Corel mountains.

The next scene finds you and your companions on a train trying to catch up to the Shinra train. Remember the digit-damaging fun you had back at Gaea's Cliff? Well, this time, it's worse. You have to press Up and the T button in a steady, yet extremely fast motion to make Cid pull the levers of the train so that you can catch up to the Shinra train.

Even worse, there's a time limit--you have to reach the train, board it, kill the enemies on board, and stop it all within 10 minutes. If you practice, you should be able to catch up to the train in about seconds, but remember that you'll need about 4 minutes, at best, to beat the enemies on board, so work quickly.

You fight monsters each time you leap to a new train car, five battles in all and while they're relatively easy to win, they do take up your time the enemies are: Gas Doctor, Gas Doctor x2, Wolfmeister, Eagle Gun, Attack Squad. If you have learned it by now, Remove can be used in the first two battles for a quick win.

If you're low on time, don't use Summon Materia because the counter still decreases during the casting which usually takes some time. Assuming you get to the locomotive with time remaining, wait for the conversation between Cid and your other characters to stop.

Once Cid grabs the controls, press:. You can't enter either command while your buddies are talking to you, so skip through the conversations when they occur.

The train will speed up, but will slow just as it reaches the town, if you've done it correctly. You won't get the Huge Materia, but you can buy the Ultima Materia from a little kid for gil.

You'll get the Huge Materia and will be given the Ultima materia for free, as a reward from the kid. In any case, go to the house below the inn and a lady in a hat will give you Barret's Level 4 Limit Break Manual. Remember, it's really in your best interest to save the town and get the Huge Materia.

User Info: op I see no reason that you wouldnt be able to backtrack from the middle of the Gaia Cliffs where you can get holy torches, but let's think for a moment I'm not seeing anything, so my guess is that the cutoff comes after Tifa is required to join your party of when the Black Materia is acquired.

Waaaaiiiit a second I am pretty sure that once you snowboard down the mountain, Shinra Soldiers start blocking the exit to Icicle Inn. Maybe even before then. Anyone able to verify that? User Info: WingedMasamune. KOTRsss posted It's actually before you snowboard down the mountain when you run into the Turks. They won't let you leave Icicle Inn. I've never considered trying to go back before progressing past Gaea's Cliffs.
