Talk to the man sitting against the rock and he’ll tell you that Sephiroth has recently passed through. Continue up the pathway towards the reactor.
Go all the way down the walkway and around the base of the reactor and down the train tracks. Continue straight along the tracks (don’t jump down).
Save your game at the save point before continuing incase you mess up any of the drops and you want to go back to get them all. Gathering them all (by mastering the mini-game) can take a couple of tries if you're unprepared.
When you fall through the first hole (on the upper path) hold left and press circle as fast as you can while falling. Cloud should end up landing on the left side of the screen and his ascent back to the train tracks should yield him the Wizard Staff if done correctly. Continue to the chest and grab the W Machine Gun. No go back down and the tracks will break again. Hold right this time and press circle as fast as possible. You’ll pick up at Star Pendant on the way back up.
Back track to the top track and grab the Ether and Transform Materia. The track will break between these two items, but no cool items to grab this time on the way up. Take the top track at the next fork in the road. Follow the train tracks all the way around and operate the bridge using the small wood shack.
Now make your way all the way back around to the bottom track set to get where the two unused team members were standing. The track splits at this point with one heading down to the left and the other continuing to the right. Head down the lower tracks on the left to find a room on the right hand side that contains a Tent, Mind Source and a Power Source. Now go back up and take the tracks to the right. Run all the way down across the bridge towards North Corel.
North Corel
After a short side story about Barrett’s past take some time to wander around and grab some items from the shops in town. Some things to look into grabbing are a Force Stealer and a Carbon Bangle from the weapons salesman (if you don’t have them already).
When you’re ready to continue, exit the small town to the left. This is the tram station for Gold Saucer.
