Not cloud's swords. I'll add that it's not any type of weapon. And to oblige d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x from earlier (and TheGoldenChocobo more recently), it's not a materia either.
(edited) There have been some good guesses so far (one that fits almost all of the riddle)...but none of the guesses so far are close to the nature of the answer.
(additional edit): d£v!l'$, I just looked up "corpse"...I probably ought to tell you that the corpse is/was not of a human or other sentient life form.
For some reason 'an old corpses shell' makes me think of the city of the ancients... ... anywhere near?
No, the corpse was of a real living thing.
Has this riddle been going too long? Let me know... If you want to solve it, it'll stay. If people say they'd rather move on, but a couple really wanna solve it, I'd be willing to correspond individually.
maybe another clue...? :confused:
Gotta wait till some others have a chance to see the hints I just posted, first. I added them pretty late last night.
Could it be the submarine?
no, "vehicles you use" was already guessed, and that's one of them. There are also a few other things that conflict with that answer.
highwind?
....??? I just said vehicles were already guessed (though perhaps you just missed that last post). Highwind was also guessed, by name. If you're going to answer, please make sure your answer has not already been given. There's a list of incorrect guesses, near the top of this page, along with the re-posted riddle. There are also hints given in that post, at least one of which contradicts highwind... Some people guessed things after that; please check those too.
If no one gets it by the end of today (10 and a half hours from now, by my clock), I'll probably take down the riddle and give the floor to someone else; I don't know who yet.

Does the corpse's shell refer to the dinosaur skull in Bone village?
No, it doesn't.
Typhoon? (I'm thinking something in the Ancient Forest)
Ancient Forest makes ok sense. You can find it by land (mountain chocobo), or later by air (highwind).
Right, except that Sephiroth summoning Meteor doesn't keep you from accessing it by land (line 2), it's never there after an escape by rope (line 3), it doesn't (necessarily) fit line 4, and you don't use it to get a "divine" power (line 8).
The answer really does have to fit every line...
Divine power means the power that you use the answer to get is "divinely named".
BG-57 (and anyone else trying to unlock the last line): I ought to say that "corpse's shell" is perhaps misleading. It's a man-made thing--a shell made from a corpse.
