Approach the cell door to check on the others, then get some sleep. When you wake up, leave your cell and examine the guard's body. Wake Tifa, follow her out, and talk to her. Gather the team and meet Red XIII in the large area on the left half of the floor. Follow the trail of blood to the 70th floor and approach the President's desk. Take the door on the far side of the room and the group will split up. Redistribute your Materia and head for the elevator. Defeat Hundred Gunner and Heli Gunner. Redistribute your Materia again and defeat Rufus and Dark Nation. Meet Tifa on the 69th floor, then head for the front door.


Prepare for the upcoming battle with Motor Ball and defend the truck from the Shinra Pursuit Troops*. Defeat Motor Ball and say goodbye to Midgar.

STRATEGY
Hundred Gunner & Heli Gunner: Both enemies are weak against Lightning; equip as many characters as possible with Lightning Materia. Heli Gunner's attacks can cause a variety of status effects, including Sleep and Poison. Make sure you equip a member of your party with the Star Pendant. During this battle, only long-range attacks such as Magic, Limit Breaks and Barret's weapon will prove effective. Cast Bolt repeatedly and keep your HP up. [MYTHRIL ARMLET] Rufus & Dark Nation: Dark Nation can cast protective magic and uses physical and strong Lightning-based attacks. Equip the Talisman and use [Lightning]-[Elemental] in Cloud's armor. Bio seems particularly effective and can cause Poison; consider equipping [Poison]-[All]. Begin by eliminating Dark Nation, then turn your attention to Shinra's son. If Dark Nation managed to establish a Barrier in front of Rufus, use attack magic to send the new President packing. [PROTECT VEST + GUARD SOURCE]


Motor Ball: This machine uses several strong Fire-based attacks that can damage your entire party. Equip [Fire]-[Elemental] in the armor of one of your characters. Equip [Restore]-[All] on as many party members as possible and don't forget to equip the Protect Vest on someone. Motor Ball is weak against Lightning; attack repeatedly using Bolt. For those without Lightning Materia, use their strongest attacks and Limit Breaks whenever available. Keep your party's HP high and the battle should be over quickly. [STAR PENDANT]

*NOTES
Defending the truck: Orange bikes tend to head straight for the truck while red bikes tend to hang back in an effort to draw you away. The best

STRATEGY
is to stay close behind the truck and pick off the bikers as they approach. Be patient and pursue enemies only if they're damaging the truck. If several bikers form a line, topple the lead bike and it should take out the others behind it. If you're having trouble with a lone red biker, try to pin it against the retaining wall, staying just ahead of it, and ease away from the truck. At a certain point, you'll be far enough away that the biker will attempt to pass you. Clothesline him with your sword as he tries to move past.
