It sounds like your first time through the game, so I won't spoil much anything. My first time through Mt. Nibel, I got lost. So hence it's important to stock up on items like potions, hi- potions, pheonix downs & ether. The magic items are important during the Mt. Nibel boss fight & as well as the boss in the safe. Just be patient with the safe however, as your first playthrough, you'll have a difficult time opening it. There's clues scattered about the mansion, so look carefully. You could also get a
strategy guide to help you out. (Try looking in Electronic Botiques to get one.) If you've played many other FF's or RPG's for that matter (especially pre- FF7), you shouldn't run into too much trouble. :D
