Cloud's Story

Head northeast to reach Kalm. Once there, head into the Inn and go upstairs. Cloud begins to relate his experience with Sephiroth and the scene flashes back to the past. Once Cloud and Sephiroth reach Nibelheim, enter the town and then go to Tifa's house (center one on the right). Answer "Yeah" to Tifa and go upstairs. Answer "Yeah" again to enter her room. At the piano choose to play "A Little" to hear a theme that you'll need to remember for later. You can also look in her closet for her Orthopedic Underwear. You can also visit Cloud's mother (the house to the left of Tifa's). Go to the Inn and upstairs to talk to Sephiroth. Tell him you're going to sleep and you'll wake up the next day.

Talk to Sephiroth again to get started. When the bridge snaps, climb up and right to reach a cave. Continue on until you get to the reactor. Follow Sephiroth to the core, examine the pod that he says is malfunctioning and then speak to him. After that, you're given a chance to rest and save, then Cloud continues his story.

Inside the mansion, go up the stairs and right. In the bottom right room, there's a door that leads to a spiral staircase going down. At the bottom, follow the passageway to the right until you find Sephiroth then go back out.

You'll wake up in another of the upstairs rooms. Head back down to the basement and then forward to the library where Sephiroth is waiting. When he leaves, follow him out of the mansion to find the town in flames. Check the house on the right and then you'll find yourself back at the reactor. Head to the core to find Sephiroth and wrap up Cloud's story. Back at the inn, head downstairs and Barret will give you the PHS which allows you to switch party members at almost any save point.
