1.7 - Chapter 7: Junon Raid
You'll now have the Buster Sword, and Zack has longer hair. Buster Sword only changes the looks, nothing stat-wise. After a scene you'll have to fight 13 G Divers (3440 HP, 88 SP, 122 Gil). After this, the scene shifts over to Junon.
In Junon two Genesis Troopers assault you (2030 HP, 80 SP, 85 Gil). Now you get a chance to Save. Proceed and grab •5000 GIL from the chest. Walk further and you have to battle 14 more troopers. Grab a •HI-POTION and •BRONZE ARMLET from the two chests afterwards, then take the elevator. Fight the Genesis Blader (9780 HP, 180 SP, 720 Gil). Move on and grab •Drain (M) from a chest. Fight a few Genesis Blader on your way to the next chest which holds a •CHOCOBO ARMLET. The Save Point is nearby, so save if you want. Press the switch to inintiate a small fight, a scene, and a boss fight.

Strategy
The Tank will revive it's support annoyances, but that doesn't mean you should reduce their amount, because they can do fair damage. As for the Tank itself, it cannot attack you if you stay behind it and bust it up with physical attacks. Keep your health up, and also put up a Barrier.
After the battle, 'everyone else' suddenly comes crawling out of their holes. Save your game and hit the switch. Another minigame of some sorts will start. The goal is to not let any enemies reach the gate, so you have to bump into them and fight them. There are a total of 30 enemies:
- (Crazy Saw) = 2x Crazy Saw
- (Crazy Saw) = 1x Crazy Saw
- (Crazy Saw) = 2x Crazy Saw
- (Metal Saucer) = 2x Metal Saucer I
- (Metal Saucer) = 2x Metal Saucer I
- (Metal Saucer) = 2x Metal Saucer I
- (Metal Saucer) = 2x Metal Saucer I
- (Metal Saucer) = 4x Metal Saucer I
- (Metal Saucer) = 4x Metal Saucer I
- (Crazy Saw) = 1x Crazy Saw, 2x MS I
- (Crazy Saw) = 1x Crazy Saw, 2x MS I
- (Crazy Saw) = 2x Crazy Saw, 1x MS I
Beat all 30 enemies: MAG Up+ (M) Beat 20 - 29 enemies: Phoenix Down
After the game, backtrack to the beginning of the area and ride the Gondola to talk to Cissnei. Grab •X-POTION x5 from the chest near the large gate, and an •IRON BANGLE and •FIRE ARMLET in the two chests at the other end. Head back to the previous area and proceed to the end. Press the switch, take a look at the Highwind in the background, Save your game, and battle the next familliar (though stronger than you know it) boss.
| Guard Scorpion | Level: 32 |
|---|---|
| HP: 49180 | Exp: 1872 |
| MP: 0 | SP: 1 |
| Strength: 35 | Gil: 333 |
| Vitality: 58 | |
| Magic: 32 | |
| Spirit: 14 | |
| Luck: 32 |
Strategy
Guard Scorpion has a lot of HP. The best way to beat it is probably to massively spam thunder magic or keep attacking it from behind with physical attacks. This also prevents it somewhat from locking on to you with it's Target Search for it's Tail Laser. Keep your HP up, use Barrier and Magic Barrier, and you should be fine.
