Final Assault on Midgar
Now that the barrier around the Crater is
gone, it seems like a good time to head there. Unfortunately,
Hojo has began fiddling about with the cannon, threatening the
existence of Midgar. So now you must parachute into Midgar and
dispatched Hojo before Midgar is destroyed.
You land in Sector 8. Head east and use the Save Point in the next area. Talk to Cait Sith and he'll open the door. Head in and you'll go through a labyrinth of ladders, chutes, and catwalks. Descend the ladder, some stairs, and then another ladder. Run east and fall through teh collpased walkway. Scale the two ladders, head north, then run east into a metal chute. Land, open the two treasure chests, and head down the ladder.
Once you're west of metal chute #42, run up the stairs to a Save Point. Crawl north in the next passage and down a ladder into a tunnel. Upon your arrival, you'll encounter Elena, Reno, and Rude, who're all ready for battle. Fortunately, if you completed Yuffie's optional side quest in Wutai, you can choose not to fight them. Either way, you'll be given a chance after your encounter with them to explore the tunnel. Head south and you'll come upon the W-Item materia and several Sources. Head north and take the right passageway to Sector 0, which holds Shinra tower. When you're all finished exploring, take the left path in the tunnel and you'll arrive in Midgar proper. Suddenly, an anti-Weapon machine named Proud Clod appears. A battle ensues, in which you must defeat the machine and Scarlet and Heideggar who are within.
Next, head north to a Save Point. Climb the ladder and ascend the numerous staircases. Head east to Hojo, who'll then explain to you that he's really the father of Sephiroth. (Surprise!) A battle with him and two other abominations (Helletic Hojo and Hojo Na) ensues. After that, it's the end of Disc 2.
