Go Through the Preparation Plant Walkthrough

	Objectives
1	Reach the Control Panel In the next section, you'll play as Yuffie, Barret, and Tifa. Use Yuffie's shuriken to hit a wheel up and to the right, and enter the Preparation Plant.
2	Get a Grappling Hook Obtain the Grappling Hook which you'll use to get around. When the Grappling Hook icon appears, look around for something to hang on to, then press L2 to leap to it. Then, look for a landing spot, and press the Circle button when it appears to land on it. First, go across the gap and pull the level to activate the zipline in the previous room. Twin Viper: There's a chest that contains a weapon for Yuffie on a nearby platform, right beside the lever.
3	Unlock the Elevator Go up the zipline. Head outside and grapple across to the cliff, then look backwards to find a grapple point which you can hit with your Shuriken to lower. Go across and climb up. Use the teminal to activate the elevator and reunite with Barret and Tifa. Zinc Ore: There is a chest containing Zinc Ore on the platform below you while using the grappling hook.
4	Continue Your Search Continue following the path until you reach a room with a Cockatrice. Find a staircase going down, and either go down it or slide down the pole next to it. Illusionist's Armband: There is a climbable wall on the right side of this room. Go up the wall and then throw your shuriken at the ladder to lower it down. Use this ladder and swing your way across until you reach the treasure chest at the end.
5	At the bottom, go past the two Cockatrices and then turn left to see a grapple point that you need to hit with your Shuriken. Use your grappling hook to swing around the rocks and you will find a rotating pillar
6	Jump onto the rotating pillar which you turn as you swing. Use the control stick when you're at the far end of your swing to advance until you reach the other side. Pull the lever at the other end to activate the ziplines.
7	After activating the ziplines, go back across the water to Barret and Tifa. Barrage Blaster: On your way back to the zipline, head east towards the cliff and pick up the a new weapon for Barret.

9	In the next room, hit the green battery with your Shuriken to cause a grapple point to lower. You'll have to wait for it to lower, but it will appear right in front of the battery. Swing across these grappling points and you will reach the second battery.
10	Hit the second battery with your Shuriken, then use your grappling hook. While hanging on the hook, it will slowly slide and move you forward, bringing you to the third and final battery.
11	From here, you will not be able to hit the battery with your Shuriken as you are hanging from the rope. You need to rotate the mechanism by swinging, and it will automatically activate the battery, allowing you to access the Bomb room.
12	Defeat the Bomb to activate the terminal and regroup with Tifa and Barret. TIp: The Bomb can be a bit tricky with just Yuffie so watch your HP! Try to inflict as much damage as you can while they are breathing fire to pressure them.
13	Lower the Drawbridge Activate the terminal to reunite with Barret and Tifa. In the next room, you'll fight the Gigatrice. ┗ Recommended Party for Gigatrice ▶︎ How to Beat Gigatrice

2	Continue crossing the bridge and then use the terminal at the end to activate the other group's mine cart. Safety Bit: Halfway across the bridge, there is a ladder to your left that leads up to a small cabin. Enter this cabin and open the chest to obtain the Safety Bit.
