City of the Ancients

The Forgotten CityUp ahead is the City of the Ancients, or as the locals call it, the Forgotten City. Enter it then take the left path at the fork. Enter the building to the north and save the game at the Save Point. Afterwards, head east and east some more to a chamber, then go north behind the stairs. Go down the stone bridge and view the large crystal. After that, head back for the fork at the entrance to the city.

Take teh east path and head east to a conical house, where you'll be able to find the Enemy Skill materia. Head back outside and north up the path and head to the house at the very center. Spend the night there, and at the next morning, you'll be awaken by a strange force beckoning you to come: Aeris!

Head back to the crossroads and take the northern path into the shell-shaped straucture. Enter that structure and you'll find the Comet materia within. Afterwards, climb down the long winding stairs that lead to the next area. In that next area, don't forget to save your game at the nearby Save Point before continuing on to Aeris, who can be found praying at the nearby altar.

Water AltarHead down the two sets of stairs and hop across the pebbles into the altar, where Aeris is praying. Suddenly, a strange force overcomes Cloud, commanding him to kill Aeris. Your allies call out to Cloud and plea for him to Aeris' Doomstop, but Sephiroth then appears and gives unto Aeris a fatal blow, and the mysterious White Materia falls from her and into the water. Then, the Jenova•Life boss appears. Be sure to have Water Protection while fighting your next enemy boss, and an Enemy Skill materia or two quipped as it will cast the hard-to-get but powerful Aqualung enemy skill.

Aeris' BurialThe scene then changes to Aeris' burial. You and your allies say to her a sad good-bye in her aquatic burial. Sad to say, but no matter what you do, there is no way to get the beloved Aeris back.

Head back to the eastern portion of the Forgotten Capital and take the northeaster path. Climb the jagged vertebrae-like structure to the top, then head west into Corral Valley.
