Gaea's Cliff

Head north from Mr. Holzoff's cabin to reach the cliff. If your temperature drops below 26 degrees while climbing, you'll pass out and awaken in the cabin again. Tap [Square] repeatedly to warm up while you're not climbing. After a few short climbs you'll reach a cave.

Head up to the next section of the cave, go up the stairs and then go down to reach the upper level the previous section. Cross over to the right and go through a hidden opening in the right wall to find a Ribbon. Then go up to find a Javelin in a chest.

Keep going up until you come out above the second section. Push the boulder there to open up the path on the lower level. Go back down to the lower level and follow the path to reach the next section of the cliff. Climb up the next section, making sure to keep your temperature up, until you reach the next cave.

Get the Elixir on the right then exit out the upper right. Follow the path around until you come to another cave. There is a chest to the right with a Fire Armlet inside. As you make your way toward the chest on the left, you'll fight 4 battles with 4 Evilheads and an Icicle. The battle ends when you've cracked the icicle, which then falls to the room below. You are given a chance to jump down after each battle, but don't until you've dropped all the icicles. The chest just beyond the icicles on the left has the 'Last Elixir' in it (which is actually a Megalixir). Now jump down to the room below.

Now you can reach the chest in the upper left and get the Speed Source in it. You can also jump on the ice flows to reach the exit in back. Follow the path around to the left and back through the cave where the icicles were to reach another set of cliffs to climb.

After you reach the next cave, you'll find a pool that will restore your HP and MP. The next room is a long corridor in which you'll see a Sephiroth clone die. When you reach the middle of the corridor, you'll have to fight Schizo (Left) and Schizo (Right). When you exit the corridor, climb up the last cliff to get your first view of the Crater.

Notes: Before starting down the last corridor, equip stuff to protect from Fire and Ice.
