Excavating the Lunar Harp
When you awake, you find yourself in the inn at Gongaga with Barret and Tifa at your side. After they talk to you for a bit, they leave you alone for awhile to make the decision of coming or not. Head outside and talk to them again, agreeing to go with them. Exit Gongaga, then hop aboard the Tiny Bronco, just in sight, and head towards the North Continent. Upon arriving there, enter the town in the middle of the foresty area.
Welcome to Bone Village, and
archaeologist's paradise. You can buy items from the man sitting
next to the lower tent. and if you speak to the others in the
village, they'll say that they've seen Aeris and Sephiroth
venture through the Sleeping Forest. However, they warn you that
you shouldn't follow without the Lunar Harp. With this in mind,
talk with the man next to the lower tent again and ask him to
excavate the Lunar Harp.
Head up to the upper level of Bone Village and hire five workers there. After hiring them, explode the bomb with [SWITCH] and dig where the worker's line of vision meets. To lessen the challenge but help you out a bit, the Lunar Harp can be found just southwest of the tent in the upper level. After excavating the Lunar Harp, you could excavate more items them (see the section on Excavations in Bone Village).
Now that you've got the Lunar Harp, you
can "awaken" the Sleeping Forest and venture through it
without getting lost. In the second area of the Sleeping Forest,
by the way, you'll be able to find teh Kujata materia flitting in
and out of sight. Grab it, then move on.
Keep advancing northward in the Sleeping Forest, then ascend the rocky pathway south of the pink coral in the proceding area. Pass through the tree trunk, head north, then west, and finally east along another pathway. You'll soon emerge outdoors and find a shell-like city up ahead.
