How 'bout a Chocobo Lure materia?
Each level it increases, makes it easier for you to find a Chocobo.
In the Sleeping man's cave, across the river north of Junon...
Old Man
You've already fought x times... ......zzzzz....... zzzzzzzz......

If Cloud tries to search his belongings...
Old Man

Old Man
Who're you?
Hmph. I guess it was fate that I woke up and met you. Here!
If the number of battles fought ends in two even numbers...
Received "Bolt Ring"!!
If the number of battles fought ends in two odd numbers...
Received "Mythril"!!
In Lower Junon...
Fisherman
There's a dolphin in the bay. If you get close enough and blow the whistle, it might come to you.
If you want to get on the ship, why not have the dolphin take you?
In Priscilla's House, Priscilla is asleep in her bed.
Priscilla
No... that tickles...
No... Stop......
Mr. Dolphin......
Elevator Guard
If you want to get on the elevator that badly, give me 10 gil!
Cloud
- Okay, I guess
- No way!
Okay, I guess
The elevator door opens.
Elevator Guard
Hurry up and get in!
No way!
Elevator Guard
You're such a cheapskate.
On the Junon Airport Path...
Soldier
All I wanted was to become a pilot! It used to leave me speechless watching the Highwind in the sunset!
Soldiers Practicing Victory Poses
Someday I'll get to use my special pose in a real battle!
Same here!! I'll keep practicing until then!
In the weapons shop...
Weapons Shopkeeper
Hey! Yo! You want weapons?
In the bar, Rude is gone but the rest of the bald club remains...
Bald Black Man
It just isn't a party without Rude!
In the barracks, a commander stands reprimanding a soldier.
Commander
Hey!! Stay out of the way!
Soldier
Ever since I was late to that parade, they've been on my back everyday with basic training.
I can't handle it anymore!
Commander
Hey! Stop yappin'!
Soldier Studying
Ugh... My eyes are tired... No, this is the time for me to really buckle down!
Until I become SOLDIER First Class.
Soldiers Sleeping
ZZZZZ......
Grrrrgh--- ---Grrrgh
Cloud can take the lifts up to the base, but soldiers guard the way inside.
Soldiers
You can't pass.
On the path to the Underwater Reactor, a group of soldiers is drilling.
Commander
Hey!! Civilian!! Stay out of our training!!
Go around them! And stay out of their way!!
Cloud can get on the elevator to the Underwater Reactor.
Elevator Attendant
...gulp... Going do---wn.
This floor is the Submarine Dock...
Those of you visiting the Underwater Reactor, please proceed through the connecting tunnel.
...gulp... We're here...
Cloud gets off the elevator. The two doors leading farther are guarded by soldiers.
Soldier
Only authorized personnel are allowed past this point!
You know too, right? About Junon Navy's important classified information.
A new submarine has almost been completed using Shinra's top technology.
A new version of submarine. I'll be sailing on it. Man, I can't wait!
Soldier 2
Man...... It's so boring keeping watch at the Underwater Reactor.
Taking the elevator back up...
Elevator Attendant
...gulp... Going u---p.
Returning to Junon.
...gulp... We're here...
At the Shinra Member's bar...
Bartender
I'm sorry. The bar is only for Shinra employees.
Soldier
I'm a good lookin' man once I take my uniform off.
Soldier 2
Mommy... My mommy...
Soldier 3
Booze, booze! Ain't nothing like booze during working hours.
Inside Junon Inn...
Innkeeper
Welcome to the 'Inn'd of the line' in Junon. Wait, I shouldn't be sayin' stuff like that.
Wanna spend the night?
- 30 gil
- Forget it
30 gil
Innkeeper
Enjoy your stay.
Cloud and the others rest.
Innkeeper
Good morning! You still seem a little sleepy.
Looking forward to seeing you again.
Forget it
Innkeeper
Come again.
In another barracks...
Soldier
These barracks are for soldiers. This is no place for civilians.
In the streets just outside the docks...
Sailor
How 'bout a ship taxi? Only in Junon!
Free to Air Force personnel!
Cloud
- Sure, call 'em
- Nope
Sure, call 'em
Sailor
Roger!! Hey! Taxi!!
A helicopter comes.
Pilot
Where to?
Cloud
- The next town
- Outside Junon
The next town
Pilot
Right! The next town it is!!
He flies Cloud to the streets outside the airfield.
Thanks!!
Outside Junon
Pilot
Then outside Junon it is! Take care!!!
Nope
Sailor
Just holler whenever you want a ride!
If you get sick easily, maybe you'd better not go.
Soldier outside Cargo Ship
Lately it seems like the economy's been better. Must be the 'Rufus' effect.
Cargo ships are always coming and going from Costa del Sol.
Now I'll overlook the fact that you're a stowaway, but you better at least help with the cargo.
Man Near Sea Plane
Hey, who're you? You look like you've been around the world twice.
I don't know what your story is, but hang in there.
Woman Lounging on Sea Plane
Today's a great day for a nap in the sun. It always puts me in a good mood!
Sailor
Thinking of being stowaways?
It's 100 gil to Junon. Give it to me, and I'll put in a good word with the captain.
What'll we do?
Cloud
- Pay up
- Don't do it
Pay up
Sailor
Okay. Come on. This way.
It's not the most pleasant ride but make the best of it.
Don't do it
Sailor
Thank you. Come back any time you want to stowaway on our ship.
Sailor Running Around
Ever since Rufus complimented him, he ran around for a while, And we haven't heard a peep from him since...
Along the streets...
Women Walking Around
Why's that!?
Not yet!!
Eaghhh!
It's your fault!
What's wrong with you!?
You wanna go!?
Whew!!!
Little Girl
It hurts when you kick me with your bare feet!
At Johnny's house, after getting the buggy...
Johnny
Heh, heh, heh!...... My woman and me are getting along pretty good.
But I'm such a pitiful waste......
Later...
Johnny
...sigh...... I'm not good enough for her. What I should do?
At the beach...
Man
Always the same story... Women never pay any attention to me...
Woman
If this is your idea of flirting... forget it. I do fine as it is.
Woman 2
The sea, the wind and the sun. Don't you just love the outdoors? It always puts me back on track.
Woman 3
Hey, good timing. Would you mind putting lotion on me?
Cloud
- With pleasure
- Sorry
With pleasure
Cloud laughs and puts lotion on her.
Woman 3
Uhhhnn...
Than--kyu!
Sorry
Woman 3
Hey, loosen up a bit.
Cloud enters the Weapon seller's house.
If he comes before obtaining the Tiny Bronco, the house is empty...
Cloud
...No one's here. We'll come back later.
After obtaining the Tiny Bronco...
Weapon Seller
Huh? Oh another customer. You sure picked an out of the way place but...
But if it's the "Keystone" you're looking for, you're too late. Don't have it.
Cloud
Keystone?
Weapon Seller
What? You didn't come here for that?
The "Keystone" is the key that unlocks the gate to a very old temple somewhere.
You're not going to believe your ears,
But I heard it was the Temple of the Ancients!!
Cloud
The Temple of the Ancients...
Weapon Seller
Kya, hah hah hah...
Don't take it seriously. It's just a legend!
Huh? What?
Cloud
- Where is this "Keystone"?
- Where is the Temple?
- Let's change the subject
- Never mind
Where is this "Keystone"?
Weapon Seller
I sold it already. Yeah well, to tell the truth, I didn't really want to sell it but...
That guy had a way about him that made you feel like it may not be a good idea NOT to sell it to him...
Cloud
Who did you sell it to?
Weapon Seller
The manager of the Gold Saucer... think his name was "Dio". Said he was going to put it in his museum, then he took off out of here.
Where is the Temple?
Weapon Seller
Come on... it's only a legend. But if it were true, that sure would be something, huh?
Now that you mention it, I have heard of something called Ultimate Destruction Magic
was supposed to be hidden somewhere in the Temple of the Ancients.
Cloud
Ultimate Destruction Magic...?
Weapon Seller
Come on! I told you not to take it seriously!
Let's change the subject
Weapon Seller
All the weapons you see here I made myself. But lately I haven't been able to get materials...
Hey you wouldn't happen to have any Mythril on you, would you? I'll trade you something good if you could spare some.
Cloud
- Give him some
- Forget it
Weapon Seller
Hey thanks! All right you can help yourself to either a big or small box.
When checking the wooden chest downstairs:
Received "Gold Armlet"!
When checking the wall safe upstairs:
Received "Great Gospel"!
Never mind
Nothing happens.
If Cloud tries to open something without giving him Mythril...
Weapon Seller
Hey, don't just come bargin' in here!
If Cloud walks to the bed...
Weapon Seller
What? You want to rest?
Cloud
- Yep
- Nope
Weapon Seller
Oh all right. You can use that bed.
Gatekeeper
Welcome to Cosmo Canyon. Make yourselves at home.
Or, if Nanaki is in the party:
Oh, Nanaki's with you. Make yourselves at home.
Kid near the Cosmo Candle
Nanaki, are you leaving again? We want you to stay here forever...
Innkeeper
Welcome to 'Shildra Inn' As long as there are guests, our lights will always be on.
It is 100 Gil a night. Would you like to stay?
Bugenhagen
Ho Ho Hoooo. You people.
Where is Nanaki? I hope he's not bothering you.
Or, if Nanaki is in the party:
Ho Ho Hoooo. I'm glad you're back, Nanaki.
I hate to ask you but, please look after Nanaki from now on.
On returning to Rocket Town...
At the Shanghai Inn...
Barkeeper
Would you like something to drink?
Cloud
- Let me hear your story
Barkeeper
Y'know, I heard Rufus rushed back to headquarters in Midgar...
Man at Table
How long's that guy gonna be in the bathroom? I need to go too...
Back outside...
Redhead
Oh, it's you? I heard you and the Captain really made a BANG!
I also heard that Rufus was so pissed off he went on a rampage and that no one's been able to get near him!
Mechanic
I heard Tiny Bronco broke...
That sucks. I was secretly eyeing that thing. Broke, huh? What a drag.
Old Man
Because those Shinra creeps locked us up in our houses, we couldn't even watch the rocket lift off.
I never thought that my only hobby would be destroyed by that arrogant young Rufus...!
At Cid's house, Shera is working on the car inside.
Shera
I'll take care of everything at home. But please take care of the Captain.
Excavator
Welcome to Bone Village, a town for nature lovers.
What do you want?
Cloud
- Have you seen Sephiroth?
- What are you doing?
Have you seen Sephiroth?
Excavator
Oh, the man in a Black Cape. He was looking for the Temple of the Ancients.
Cloud
- The Temple of the Ancients?
Excavator
It's way down south. It's right on the other side between this town and the inland sea.
It's the pyramid that rises within the forest.
Cloud
- How do you get in?
Excavator
You'll need a Keystone.
Cloud
- What's a Keystone?
Excavator
Just like it sounds. A rock that's a key. I heard that some rich guy has it.
What are you doing?
Excavator
We're excavating. It's like the land's telling a history of the planet.
