| 24 | As you head back, another Gi enemy will appear. Take it out and place the statue on the Emerald Altar. |
| 25 | From here, head for the next glowing statue nearby on the platform. Pick it up and place it in the Amber Altar. Then, had behind the altar and go up the stairs. You will find a chest here that contains Cosmotite Ore. |

| 41 | Go through the gate and use the rest stop to restore your HP and MP. Then, move forward and prepare to battle Gi Nattak. |
| 42 | Gi Nattak does not have any weaknesses so you will need to rely on abilities to build up its stagger gauge.
A good way to go about this is to build up 2 ATB charges and have Red XIII use Stardust Ray. Barret can contribute offensively if he is not healing the party with Focus Shot or Maximum Fury. When Gi Nattak summons Soul Flames, attack them before they reach the four statues in the area. This will prevent you from being inflicted with curse debuffs (include one that reduces your HP to half) which will make the fight more tedious than it has to be. Throw out Limit Breaks when they become available and have Barret keep the party’s HP up with items or healing spells. |
| 43 | After taking down Gi Nattak, go through the door ahead. |
| 44 | Watch the cutscene. |
| 45 | When you regain control of Cloud, move toward the path ahead. |

|---|---|
| 2 | Go to Aerith’s house for another cutscene. |
Village of the Gi – Cosmo Canyon

|---|---|
| 2 | Head left and open the chest to get Ceremonial Staff (Aerith weapon). |
| 3 | Follow Yuffie to the village. Take out the enemies along the way. |
| 4 | Head for the quest marker for a cutscene. |
| 5 | When you return to Cosmo Canyon, move forward through the cave. Then, follow the assistant to the elevator. |
| 6 | Ride the elevator back to Cosmo Canyon. Then, fast travel to Cosmo Canyon’s entrance. |
| 7 | From here, you can do some side quests and World Intel missions before proceeding to Nibelheim. |
| 8 | Be sure to stop by the Water Grotto and pick up Sheet Music: Two Legs? Nothin’ to It by the piano. |
| 9 | You can challenge the Queen’s Blood players here to win some new cards. One of them is Robin who is at the inn. Winning against them rewards the Insectoid Chimera card.
Ka’dina is on the upper level of Cosmo Canyon. Beat them to get the Two Face card. Also on the upper level is Bernard who rewards you with the Reapertail card for beating him. |
