Hardest Summon to get

[DJZen]

Hm, I stand possibly corrected.

[Heath]

Alexander, it's the only materia I've never gotten.

[Flashback007]

Bahamut-ZERO it's the only summon I didn't got. This is still my first game of FF7, so I hope him to get him after beating Emerald and getting the Mastered Materia's

[Brian The Pink Shark]

Kjata! The damn thing kept running away from me!

But really, I think for me it was KOTR.

even so it doesnt take long to get Kjata

TYPHOON the ancient forest is a pain in da' a$$.

[UltimaLimit]

Yes, the Ancient Forest sucks too.

I said Alexander because I could always find the hot springs OR the Snow Woman but never both in one go. The area is nigh impossible even with maps. I actually found it easier to kill Ruby to get a gold chocobo for KotR than to manage to fight Snow for Alexander.

even so it doesnt take long to get Kjata

Kjata just requires a little patience. Run around in the trees pressing circle. But first make sure you didn't get it already and forget.

I find Bahamut ZERO hard to get... I can't even get NEOBahamut yet!

[Starcrest]

Alexander. KOTR would probably be easy if i tried. Alexander, I found ONCE, and it was by MISTAKE lmao. so, w/e i try to find it again...i cant and it's annoying. i dont think KOTR is hard to get cause...honestly i haven't tried

KotR was the hardest for me. Breeding a Gold Chocobo was very hard and required a lot of luck, effort and time, and I had to search the world over to find the island. Alexander wasn't that hard for me. I made it to the cabin place quickly, so I got a lot of time to explore the area after that. It took me about an hour to get Alexander. Typhoon was also somewhat hard because Ancient Forest was annoying. And I never even used Typhoon after getting it! However, I'll still say KotR. It's also the hardest one to get without a walkthrough since there's not many hints in the game about how to get a Gold Chocobo.

On the other hand, I have no idea how ANYONE is supposed to figure out how to breed chocobos using in-game clues. Even the chocobo sage is EXTREMELY vague on the details of this, and you'll have to spend hours figuring out which chocobos come from where unless you're using a guide.

I once played the game for so long that I managed to make Chocobo Sage say everything needed for a Gold Chocobo. It's not Sage's tips that are giving you the information needed. Instead, talk to the Sage and then make your way to the Chocobo Farm. Chole will turn Sage's words into a sensible form and will eventually tell everything, including where to get Good, Great and Wonderful Chocobos or Carob/Zeio Nuts.

Actually, the in-game name is Typoon. I just recently noticed that. Kinda' stupid, but there you go.

As for the hardest summon to get. For me, now that I know how Great Glacier works, none of them are difficult to get. I actually got my very first Gold Chocobo by the Chocobo Sage's clues, believe it or not. I did use the guide book for the rocket code though. I also found all the digits for the safe by myself (in the Nibelheim mansion). Ancient Forest isn't hard, but very annoying.

Again, these are all my opinions.

[UltimaLimit]

Please, enlighten me. How the hell does great Glacier work? I'm getting better at recognizing landmarks in simple areas but I'm still SOL most places. (I swear to God the level designers there were on LSD.) :whaaa:

I'm not changing my answer of Alexander no matter what. Even if I do find out how Great Glacier works.

[Starcrest]

tottally agree

[Jolts]

To get Alexander, (SPOILER)just go right twice in the snowboarding part. Then, you should land near a cave. Go the exit on the right, behind the cave. From there, just keep going up until you find the hot springs. Then, when you get to the part where you need to place markers to know what direction you're going, walk a little bit forward, then have Cloud turn right and continue going in that direction the best you can until you exit to the area where the Alexander chick is waiting. By the way, when I say "up," that refers to all the "hotspots" that are visible on the map. Sometimes, the paths in between the "hotspots" will make it look like you're going south when you are actually going north (yes, they had to be on something ).

1) Thank you
2) If you highligh that smiley you put it looks strange
3) Maybe I'M on something if I'm distracting my own thread over smileys...
4) I'll stop now. Thanks again, Jolts.

[Ouch!]

Alexander is the only summon I've never been able to get my hands on.
