Crossing the marsh without a chocobo is much easier than you think, even though the Midgar Zolom is a big challege upon first doing so. I show you the techniques on how to do so. You do need at least 600 HP to be safe, though 1000 is recommended. It does do about 430 or so damage per action so you'll certainly need to have cure spells at the ready. Plenty of MP is also recommended along with a few phoenix downs in case the snake gets the better of the party. You also must have the "bio" materia, as I show. Just cast bio on the snake to poison it and once poisoned, just don't do anything further to it, even if you have limits active (unless you're daring enough where the snake's HP is getting a bit low (like 1000 (2000 if at a higher level)). If you don't poison the snake before 600 damage is done to it, cast cure on the snake. It seems strange, but if you go too far, then the snake starts will rise up and even use its powerful "beta" attack which, if everyone is present in the party, means a game over (unless you have at least 1300 HP where you'll survive it). If you want this "beta" attack for the "enemy skill" materia, see my "FF7 - how to get the 'beta' enemy skill early" video. This snake is also an easy way build up those limits and quickly for getting those second limits within a level, to meet that 8 uses criteria.

  • First time playing ff7 when I was really young and my english was even more horrible... I leveled up till I could beat snake by beating it up... I didnt understand chocobo thing at all.

  • Just equip the "chocobo lure" materia on any empty slot on any character in your active party and walk on the chocobo tracks near the farm until a random battle yields a chocobo (of which the music will sound different). Give the chocobo a gyshal greens and fight off the extra enemies. Do not attack the chocobo. If the chocobo is the last thing left, you can ride it across the swamp. The snake is a great way to get limit breaks powered up... provided you're prepared to face it.

  • I just got the the golden saucer. is there any lv up places around there? i need to get my characters hp up.

  • It's been so long since I last played this that I don't really know. You're between my third and fourth leveling grounds. Consider backtracking to Costa Del Sol and fighting the beach blugs around the beaches (if I remember that is). You can also advance the story a little more and get to the fourth leveling ground, one of the best. Another alternative is, once you get the buggy, use the Junon alarm method (trigger the alarm in upper Junon - caution: these will be tough fights).

  • people die too easy when they just rush into the game not just trying to get some levels unless they really good at low level playthoughs.FINAL FANTASY ISNT JUST ABOUT RUSHING in the game,just bcause their will be enemies that will kick their asses over and over again.

  • ... and you have to keep in mind those that prefer to powerlevel to the extreme.

  • @ulillillia yes.. I know that now but I did not know that back then it was ages ago it was the idea of my message. :P

  • I love when people spend half the video messing around with options.

  • I just love playing through the game while having an early Beta-Technique. It just needs a bit correct timing of Limits + Poison of course. You can beat like every fight with that spell casted on enemies. Every boss fight is getting so ridiculous :D

  • @ulillillia !! it didn't use beta! i twice got to the part he had 130and a bit hp and one of my guys were "tailed" out and he destroyed us all with 1 attack (beta), now i'm trying to get a chocobo, but it's impossible to catch!

  • @ulillillia leave the gold saucer, there is a desert. good luck..

  • Lol i did this by using aerith ONLY i was low level, and everytime I killed Tifa and Cloud lol XD, then i just used poison and killed him with physical attacks XD

  • boring video

  • It had 63 HP and died. It was like "I give up. You win."
