Key of the Ancients & Diamond Weapon

With all four Huge Materia quests complete, pilot the Highwind to the
Cosmo Area and head for Cosmo Canyon. Visit the Item Store and you'll
discover the passage to the right of the counter is no longer roped off.
Proceed to the back room to pick up an ELIXIR and a MAGIC SOURCE and
grab the FULL CURE MATERIA from the bed. Meet Bugenhagen in the
Observatory and he'll indicate he'd like to visit the Forgotten City.
Before you depart, Bugenhagen will take whatever Huge Materia* you have
and store it in his lab.
Return to the Highwind and head for the Forgotten City. Take the left
path and escort Bugenhagen to the large structure housing the mysterious
ancient device. Head right along the upper walkway and down the stairs.
Approach the glowing object suspended in the middle of the hall and
Bugenhagen will send you to find a key hidden somewhere 'even sunlight
can't reach.' Go back to the Highwind head for the Shinra Sub. From
Junon, take the Sub north along the eastern perimeter of the ocean
floor, pass through a narrow canyon, and locate the hidden tunnel that
will take you east under the Northern Continent. When you reach the area
roughly beneath the Forgotten City, you'll find a strange-looking
object, the KEY TO ANCIENTS.
When you return to the Forgotten City and give the Key to Bugenhagen,
he'll use it to activate the Ancient Music Box. When you've learned all
you can from the ancient device, head back to the Highwind. As you're
about to board the airship, Diamond Weapon will rise out of the ocean
and begin advancing toward Midgar. Head for the beach north of the city
and prepare yourself for the upcoming fight. Battle Diamond Weapon then
inspect the damage at the Northern Cave. When Cait Sith contacts you and
his true identity is revealed, fly the Highwind over Midgar and your
party will parachute into the city.
*STRATEGY*
*Diamond Weapon:*
Diamond Weapon frequently uses a Fire-based attack; protect yourself
against Fire ([Fire-element]-[Elemental], Fire Armlet, Tetra Elemental,
etc.). Its most devastating attack is the Diamond Flash, which inflicts
heavy damage to your entire party and can cause Silence. Consider
