Use in runs

This room is used three times in All Bosses (Warps).

On the first visit, the player must first speak with Yuffie and select "turcks union," setting a flag for the Wutai sidequest. Because recruitment flags for Yuffie were never properly set, this allows the player to fight Rapps without having to go through the rest of the sidequest. Afterwards, the player must speak with Red XIII and select "SEMKIN 8," to get to the underwater reactor and fight Carry Armor.

On the second visit, the player must speak to the woman and select "TUNNEL 6." This is to get into the Midgar Raid and fight the Turks.

On the third visit, the player must first speak to Aerith and select Cid as party leader. They can then use the PHS to add Vincent and Cait Sith to the party. Finally, they will speak with the woman again, select "next page," and then "ZCOAL 1" to begin the Huge Materia mission in Corel.
