Great Glacier. Help Meeeeeee....

[Nevermore]

I have had this game ever since it came out, and no, no not once have I seen what the Alexander Summon looks like.
Because getting it isn't working.

I know WHAT to do; dip your finger into the Hot Springs, which I have located, then seek out a chilly women named Snow, who is hidden in a cave, and gets tremendously angsty because you touched the springs. Take her to school, and you get the Summon.
Although I can't take her anywhere, because I can't find her.
I've met a random enemy named Snow, a women, about twenty of them by now. But I have seen no sprite of any purple women named Snow sitting in a cave.

What cave is this? I have seen the blasted Great Glacier up and down and around searching for this damn hag, I know it by heart..So do you have to do something specific to get to her, other then touch the Hot Springs?

I've read two faqs just now, one telling me the women is found east, another faq says west, what the hell?

Someone please tell me what to do? Or do you have to do it at a specific time? I don't know..

[crono_logical]

I believe it's East, since I remember coming out at the mountains on the east of the map if you continue past where she is after you pass her cave. You just need to head east from the cave in the middle of the stormy area where you can place markers to keep track of direction as the map rotates. I'm not aware of it having to be done at any specific time, since I've never had a problem finding her myself

East of the snowy fields with the lone cave it is, then. I admit never having tried that, so I don't know what lies East..I didn't even know you could go there.
And to think I was going to wander there and then dismissed the thought in total despair..Blawg.

What about the guy in the cabin, the one who challenges Gaia's cliff? I was instructed to talk to him once I invaded the streams. I don't see what in tarnations he would have to do with this though.

Anyway, thank you kindly, East it is then.

Well, touching the springs, beating up Snow for Alexander Summon and getting out of the snowfield without passing out is hard (your guys will pass out if they wander in the snowfields for 10-20 minutes). That's why I always touch the springs and then go to the old man's cabin to rest, and then I'll go and beat Snow.

So the effects of the Springs won't wear off if you leave the Glacier?
And does it matter where you start from to get the Summon?
All my attempts at locating the women have ended up in my passing out and waking up in the cabin, so I always started from up there to seek her, and not the actual entrance of the Glacier..Well I think I'll find her now.

Where in the hell are the springs, anyway? I've never been able to really distinguish anything on the guide map.

First off... Just get Master Summon materia. You can summon Alexander unlimited times, and it doesn't have any effect on HP, MP, etc...

Second

Where in the hell are the springs, anyway? I've never been able to really distinguish anything on the guide map.

Everything on the map appears on screen somewhere. There are usually landmarks that will let you know what part of the map you are on.

There's a fairly rough bridge over a stream that's almosty completely frozen over. Almost. Walk down to a thawed section of it and press 'O'. Cloud should dip his hand in and say "Ah, a hot spring" or something. The Snow Woman's cave is in the east. Not sure if it's marked on the map... I think that only the cave through which you can exit is marked on the map.
Snow's cave is near a crossroads where several paths intersect.

If you think that's tough, try finding the 'Added Cut' materia, also cunningly hidden on the Great Glacier. That one took me forever.

[Nevermore]

I found the Added-Cut, although it took me a lengthy amount of time as well.

The Hot Springs are Northeast of the map. Look on the map by pressing the Square button to locate them, it's like two dark blotches on the North eastern side, almost right under a bunch of spikes.

And I finally got the damn Summon, and no, the cave isn't marked on the map whatsoever.

Added Cut is easy too Am I the only person that does this place systematically to make sure I comb every single path in it?

Nope, I usually run around in it until I pass out, and by then I've found everything. Then again I've always been a sucker for snowy environments areas in video games. Love the snow!

Added Cut

First thing I actually missed other than W-Item. Where can it be found?

[Nevermore]

You know the screen on the North East of the Great Glacier, with four trails? One leads to the Hot Springs.
So reach this screen, travel to the upper most path on the right, and on the next screen, carefully look on the ground for something blue, which shines. It's hard to see though. But that's the materia.

I actually drew the map on Paint, (Crude but it worked) but it won't let me upload it...I hate it..just hate it.

I think I know where you are talking about. Just send it to me through AIM or MSN
