Banora Underground
Talk0this wiki
The Banora Underground is the Final Dungeon of Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. It is a secret network of caves underneath the town of Banora. Inside the caves are mazes of naturally made caverns and waterways, the ruins of Shinra's laboratories and private prison facility, and an area with statue holding the Materia of the Goddess, a being related to the Planet.
After the village above is destroyed, it can be reached from above easily. Genesis Rhapsodos, the central villain, uses this secret lair as his base of operations as he conducts his war against the Shinra Electric Power Company. When Zack Fair climbs down into the caves, Genesis uses the Goddess Materia to transform into a gigantic armored form, Genesis Avatar. When Zack defeats this, Genesis himself challenges Zack, only to be defeated again, this time completely.
Being the final location, the Underground is home to the most powerful enemies in the regular game of Crisis Core. Once the player enters the dungeon, they cannot leave save for Missions. To unlock the door to the final battles, the player must find seven special Materia called the Goddess Materia that cannot be used in gameplay in any function. They are the Light Materia, Star Materia, Heaven Materia, Ground Materia, Life Materia, Sabbath Materia, and Being Materia, and are scattered throughout the dungeon.

TriviaEdit
Added by Roerpues- Emerald Weapon can be seen frozen in stasis in the first area, Depths of Judgment. A hill in the northern part of the area looks upon a large crystal formation, and Emerald Weapon's shoulders can be seen extending from behind it, the four slots for its orbs identifying it.
