Enemies: Grenade, Wind Wing (Enemy Skill: ★White Wind), Sculpture, Gremlin, Ironite, Jenova-DEATH, Killbin

Welcome to the promised land. Before being able to continue, your characters will give a short description on what is going on and what is to come. After this, you have some walking to do. Head to the bottom of the crater. When you reach a part which seems to have a cloudy floor, Tifa will join your party. There is no avoiding this, so keep walking. In the next area, you will find ONeo Bahamut, a piece of summon materia near the screen, glowing red. Keep on walking, and you will then notice that the Shinra have also arrived. You will witness a small conversation aboard the airship with some foreshadowing. After the sequence, keep heading to your left.

You will come to a scene were there are two narrow paths of rock, separated by the wind. The trick is to cross while the wind is barely visible. There will also be two hooded figures that seem to have been knocked out, talk to them both for items. The one on the right will give you a δHi-Potion and the one on the right will give you an δEther. If you get knocked back by the wall, you will have to fight a Wind Wing. After getting through the wind, carry on.

You will come into an area were there are several hooded figures walking north. This is a single path. Halfway you will come across a chest that hosts a δKaiser Knuckle, a new weapon for Tifa. The hooded figures that have passed out will not say or give you anything, so just head north until you reach the exit.

The conditions for this area are the same as the previous, but more challenging. There is now what seems to be a twister in the wind. Try your best to get across.

After getting across that area, you will see Sephiroth. After a bit of talk and some action, you will be fighting:

Strategy
 
This is a good chance to try out your new summon. With strong physical hits and non elemental magic, such as summons, this battle isn't too hard. Casting Barrier is also a good idea.

There will be a short scene with all of your party after defeating this enemy. Cloud will get the floating Black Materia that Sephiroth left behind and will decide to give it to one of the characters. You can only have Barret or Nanaki hold the black materia. The character that holds the black materia doesn't greatly effect the outcome of the game, so don't break your mind deciding who to give it to. After only a few steps you will be able to get the OMP Turbo materia. Carry on forward. Gather the chest that contains a δPoison Ring and then save. After that, go to the exit.

There will be another windy area. Along with the usual wind and twisters, this has a lightning bolt protecting it as well. Do your best to get through and then carry on. After this area, you are done with independant play for a while. Note these following scenes are extremely important to your understand of the game.

You will find yourself in Nibelheim, Cloud and Tifa's hometown. Here, you will learn some truth on the situation five years ago in Nibelheim. This is also your introduction to Zack, the boy you heard about in Gongaga. Although he is not mentioned, it should be known if you followed to clues in the game.

After the scene is over, you will find youself in a room with the Shinra. They seemed to have found their promised land. Your first glance at WEAPON is in this room. This scene is rather short, but still meaningful.

You will then be brought to the area where your remaining party members are placed. The Black Materia holder will have a short black out and head on out of the scene after being advised by "Tifa", which is then unmasked as Sephiroth.

You will be back in the room along with the Shinra, were the reunion takes place. There will be some short explenations you should pay attention to. Your Black Materia holder will also appear and give it to Cloud. Hojo will say some extremely important details on Jenova's Reunion, take the time to read carefully. The real Sephiroth is witnessed here. Cloud will give the black materia to Sephiroth. Along with the Shinra, your party members will evacuate the now destroyed Promised Land. WEAPON has been unleashed upon the planet.

After the black out, details will be given on Cloud's arrival in Sector 7. Tifa will give out some information on her thoughts when Cloud first arrived in Midgar.
