before obtaining the Shiva materia. You'll win a Peace Ring.

Battle #3: After getting in the water with Mr. Dolphin, before you use the
Dolphin Whistle. You'll win 3 Ethers. (HUGE thanks to the FF7 message board for
this one! The game also mistranslates them into Tinctures)

kicked out of Fort Condor FOR GOOD.

Battle Strategy

As everyone who goes through all of the Fort Condor battles knows, there are several types of people and things you can hire to fight for you.

My own personal strategy is to just Hire 20 Fighters all lined up along the very bottle place your can set them.

When the battle starts i slow the battle speed down and set every fighter to swarm the bottom. The reason why i chose fighters and none others is because out of all the others you can choose from the fighter has the highest attack and hp, have 20 of them just totally swarm the bottom will force an auto win by haulting the enemy's attack before to many of the them come out.

Yes i will grant using strat is a bit of a gill consumer, but once you are past the fifth battle you really shouldn't be having money problems.

Chao Hellsing, I finally got the hang of this god damn minigame and won the weapon for Red, thanks to you «3

[RageArmor]

Did not know this NeuroSephiroth, however interesting none the less. Useless to me, since i generally only go for 1 copy of each materia, as it helps me keep track of how many master materia i can make.

I'd also like to point out that you can get 2 copies of the Phoenix Materia. Don't pick up Phoenix in Disc 2. Wait until Disc 3, and go to Bone Village to dig up a copy of Phoenix, then go to Fort Condor and pick up Phoenix. 2 copies unmastered.

[Chao Hellsing]

place one regular fighter at the start of the battle as soon as you can. When the battle starts, you can place one lower, than another and another etc until you cant go lower. Put three at the left enemy entrance, and five at the right, and have them all advance. The balle will end when the two or three enemies that have gotten on screen at that point have been defeated because I guess it means you took the enemy's base. I've never lost more than three men, and I really messed up that time by not advancing them. Usually you can have no losses and keep all your gil, and only spend a minute or two in the game.
