Corel Coal Mines

Explore the Corel Coal Mines in final fantasy vii rebirth. Find the Twin Viper weapon and learn to use Yuffie's grappling hook and shuriken.

When everything is situated, start following the tracks to the north. As you explore with Yuffie, you will notice a cursor appear on your screen. This indicates that there is something nearby (usually boxes) to toss your shuriken at with the [Shuriken Button], so always look around for that. When you get to the end of the tracks, you will find a Bloatfloat and Sandhog Pie there.

Fighting as Yuffie

Yuffie is adept at both melee and ranged combat. The [Melee Button] is used to deliver a series of melee strikes, but if you hold down the button, Yuffie will deliver a blow and then jump backwards, creating distance. Hitting the [Shuriken Button] will make Yuffie toss her shuriken at the enemy, which will stay with the enemy until once enough time has passed, you hit [Shuriken Button] again, or hold down [Shuriken Button].

While the shuriken has been launched, you can press [Ninjutsu Button] to activate Yuffie’s Ninjutsu. You can change the elemental affinity of the ranged attack with her Elemental Ninjutsu ability. It comes in the four main elements, so you will want to use this as often as possible, when applicable. Her Elemental Ninjutsu is one of the reasons why Yuffie is great to always be in your party.

Hold down [Melee Button] when in melee combat to get some distance with Yuffie.

After the battle is over, the way forward is blocked by a big door. If you notice the cursor that appears on your screen, it will be pointing at some gears next to the door, so toss the shuriken to break some rope that will now open the door. Go inside and you’re told the conveyor is the way to continue, but you’ll have to power it on first.

Preparation Plant

Feel free to look around in here, but there’s nothing but materials present and only one way to continue forward. Head towards the daylight and Barret will point out the grappling hook, which will be another traversal element from this point onward. Point the camera towards the bar in the air, then when you see the [L2 Button Prompt] button prompt, hit it to attach yourself to it. Use the left analog stick to swing back and forth until you see the [Circle Button Prompt] button prompt, which means you can jump across the gap.

Once you make it across, open the purple chest here for the Twin Viper, a new weapon for Yuffie, then hit the switch to activate the conveyor. Swing back across and ride the conveyor to the next floor, where some enemies will be waiting for you. Clear them out, then look for a rope you can cut with Yuffie, which will drop a ladder for you to climb up to a chest (Hi-Ether). If you head to the western end of this area, you will find a wall you can climb.

The grappling hook will be an important item for the rest of this dungeon.

Do that, then swing over to the next ledge, and climb one final wall to find a chest that contains an Emerald. Slide down the zipline, then venture over to the southern side. Interact with the elevator to see it isn’t working, so look for the grapple point nearby. Use it to swing over to the rocky ledge, then look up and to the right of the beam you just grappled off of there. You should see a [Shuriken Button Prompt] button prompt here, which is your cue to toss Yuffie’s weapon at it, knocking loose another grapple point.

Grapple onto that beam now to get to one more, where you can turn around to a climbable wall. It should be mentioned that you are alone with Yuffie up here, since the others can’t do the same thing. Defeat any enemies, then access the control panel for the elevator, which will bring both Barret and Tifa to your position. Go around the corner for another battle, then you’ll be able to head up some stairs.

Head to the building on the far side and look up to see another button prompt, but if you toss your shuriken from the ground, it will hit an obstacle. There will be a wall to climb on the side, which gives you a better angle at this same spot, so toss it there to cause a bunch of breakable boxes to drop down, so destroy them for plenty of items. To continue, locate the wooden ramp and head up it to find a zipline that goes across the chasm, which is the Railway Control Tower. Drop down the ladder here to snag a treasure chest (x3 Exquisite Beast Hides), then back up to go back into the mine.

Railway Control Tower

Fight the enemies along the way to a rest bench, where you can take a break and browse the vending machine. Unfortunately, the conveyors in this section aren’t working, so there’s only one way to go for now. Ignore the stairs along the way and fight the Cockatrice at the end. Be wary of its Petrifying Fog attack, as you pelt it with fire moves. If you block its melee attacks, you will pressure it, but if you evade the Swoop or Cock-a-Doodle-Kick abilities, you will pressure it for longer.

To knock down the ladder, climb up to this spot to get a good shot on the rope.

After defeating the Cockatrice, look for a climbable wall nearby and scale it to the top. While up here, you should be able to spot a rope you can cut with your shuriken across the way, so do that to make a ladder drop. Slide down the pole and climb the ladder now, then look upward again for some grapple points. Upon getting to the last one, swing your camera and Yuffie around until you can spot another set. This will allow you to reach a wooden ledge that houses a chest, so open it for an Illusionist’s Armband.

Return to the ground via the zipline, then make your way back to those stairs from before. There will be a pole you can slide down to reach the bottom, or you can just go down the stairs the normal way. Down here, you will have to do
