If Yuffie was in yout party when she stole your materia, you'll have to fight the soldiers with only two members.  Now make your way around the mountain paths and bridges until you are in a grassy area with a town.  If you are going with the Highwind, you only need to land next to the town, but Yuffie will still steal your materia, and fight the soldiers.

Note: Yuffie may not have stolen all your party's materia, as she only steals a total of 50 materia.  The order she prefers to steal is Master Materia, Summon materia, Independant materia, Command materia, Support materia, and then Magic materia.

After entering the town of Wutai, you aren't allowed to leave the town again until you've caught up with Yuffie.  Note that you cannot buy any weapons at the Weapon Store (Although its obvious they are lying).  Firstly head to the upper path into the northern part of the town; you will see a tall pagoda.  Enter the mansion to your right and walk along the hall until you see a sleeping man.  Talk to him a few times, and it turns out that he is Yuffie's father, Godo.  Yuffie will appear and there will be sequence, then you see Godo chasing Yuffie.  Now enter the next room and examine the right wall where part of it has a draught.  Open the hidden door and open the chest to receive a Hairpin (Red XIII weapon).  Now go back to the first area of the mansion and enter the room with the beds.  You can rest up if you want, then examine the left wall.  Open the hidden door and open the chest to receive a Magic Shruiken (Yuffie weapon).

Return to the town square and enter the restaurant with a turtle as a sign.  You find the Turks having lunch!  Talk to Elena, and there will be a sequence between your party and the turks, but Reno insists not to fight because of their day off.  Now leave the restaurant and enter the building to the top of the screen.  The lady who was in the way of the chest has now moved.  Open the chest and you will receive a MP Absorb materia, but Yuffie will drop from the ceiling and steal it from you!  Leave the shop and enter the house on the right-bottom part of the screen, where the entrance is.  Examine the folding panel and Yuffie will once again escape from you.  Go back outside and examine the big pot outside the restaurant.  Cloud's friends will block all escape routes.  Now push O button three times and Yuffie will attempt to escape but fails.  She then gives in and leads you away to give back your materia.

Now a sequence with two Shinra soldiers going into the Restaurant and talking to the Turks.  Reno and Rude refuse to cooperate with the Shinra in finding someone, and the soldiers leave.  Elena gets mad at Reno and Rude and leaves the restaurant.

Yuffie leads your party to her home.  Head downstairs and read the scroll (Turtle Flyer #6).  Talk to Yuffie, and when she finishes examine the switches.  Push any switch and a cage will fall from the ceiling trapping your friends!  Yuffie runs off, and you'll have to release your friends.

Leave the house and go back to the area where the tall pagoda is.  Examine the bell to the left, and when you ring it a hidden door will appear below it.  Enter it and you will meet the saddest person in the world, Don Corneo.  He has captured not only Yuffie but Elena as well.  Open the two chests to get a Elixir and a Swift Bolt.  Go up the stairs and you'll find yourself in the mansion.  Don Corneo manages to escape but leaves three Shinra Soldiers for your party to dispose.

Leave the mansion and you'll meet the Turks, who is searching for Elena.  After talking to them, head to the northern part of the town square.  You'll find yourself in a statueous mountain called the Da-Chao.  Follow the path in the middle, then do the U-Turn around the statue.  Enter the cave where Rude is and you should be in a cave with fire.  Open the chest and you'll receive a Dragoon Lance (Cid weapon).  You can't do anything about going further in the cave unless you have the key item Leviathan Scales.  Netherless leave the cave and follow the path south.  You'll see Elena and Yuffie tied up to a statue face, with the damn Don Corneo looking on.  After a brief talk, Corneo will summon a monster to atttack your party.

Rapps
Lv 39
HP: 6,000  MP: 300
Win: 1x Peace Ring, EXP: 3200
AP: 33  Gil: 20,000 gil

If you only have the attack option, just keep attacking.  Rapps will use the Aero3 attack and will max out your character's limit gauge quickly.  Repeatedly attack it with physical attacks and limits, and it will fall quickly.    After defeating the boss,  the Turks will meet up with Don and will force him off the side of the cliff.  There will be a conversation, then your party will be back at Yuffie's house.  She will give back all your materia, even the MP Absorb from the chest (but the materia is mixed up!).

Your party will be in the world map.  You can continue with the adventure, or fully complete the Wutai quest.  Go back into the town and go into the small building next to Yuffie's house, the place will be full of cats.  Climb the stairs and open the chest in the secret room, and you'll get a HP Absorb materia.  Now head back to the town square and have Yuffie in your party.  Head to the tall Pagoda near the mansion and enter it.  There you will meet Gorky, who tells your party about the rules of Yuffie climbing the Pagoda.  Yuffie must have a one-on-one fight will a guardian on each floor of the Pagoda.  If you choose to climb it, you'll fight Yuffie's first opponent, Gorky.

Gorky
Lv 30
HP: 3,000  MP: 150
Win: 1x X-Potion, EXP: 1500
AP: 50  Gil: 0

Gorky will cast Reflect and Regen early in the battle.  Cast Despell or use a Holy Torch, then repeatedly attack him with magic attacks.  If Gorky uses Demi, quickly cure Yuffie, then use her limit if possible.  After defeating Gorky, you can enter the second floor of the Pagoda.  Note that you can always exit the Pagoda between battles to buy equipment or rest in the mansion.  Now head to the second floor and you'll fight Yuffie's second opponent, Shake.

Shake
Lv 32
HP: 4,000  MP: 180
Win: 1x Turbo Ether, EXP: 2200
AP: 50  Gil: 0

Shake may use Barrier each time you attack it with a physical attack, but quickly dispel it with Despell or Holy Torch.  Shake's special attack, the Rage Bomber, will deplete about 1,200 worth of HP.  At this time you can either use your limits, or use a combination of magic and physical attacks.  Deathblow works well.  After defeating Shake, go to the next floor and you'll fight Yuffie's third opponent, Chekhov.

Chekhov
Lv 34
HP: 5,000  MP: 210
Win: 1x Ice Ring, EXP: 2900
AP: 50  Gil: 0

Having a Ribbon or having any Resist magic and Vaccine items are a must because Chekhov can paralyze Yuffie with its Stare Down attack.  If the attack does not work on Yuffie, then this battle will be a cinch.  Chekhov's only other attack is absorb, which will only absorb about 200 HP.  Continous attacks will defeat it without any problem.  After defeating Chekhov, go to the next floor and you'll fight Yuffie's fourth opponent, Staniv.

Staniv
Lv 36
HP: 6,000  MP: 240
Win: 1x Elixir, EXP: 3600
AP: 58  Gil: 0

Cast Barrier and Haste at the beginning of the battle.  Most of Staniv's attacks are physical so having Barrier casted will halve them all.  Fight Staniv the way you foght Chekhov, and he'll fall in no time.  After defeating Staniv, Gorky, Shake, and Chekhov will arrive  and will make a big fuss about the power of Yuffie's fifth opponent.  Go to the next floor and you'll fight Yuffie's final opponent, Godo!

Godo

HP: 10,000  MP: 1000
Win: 1x All Creation,  EXP: 5000

In the forest, you'll notice some jumping frogs and bugs.  To grab one, just push the O button when you'll near it.  Note that by pushing the S (Square) button your party will return to the entrance of the forest automatically.  You can only carry one at a time.  In the first area, grab two bugs and release them near the hanging plants at the top.  Now grab a frog and pop it into the hanging plant.  As it chews it, quickly grab the next bug and pop it into the next hanging plant.  Repeat with the last bug and you'll end up at the other side of the ledge.  Now creep up to the man-eating plant and nab the bag which contains a Supershot ST (weapon for Vincent).  Go right and Cloud will swing on the jelly vine.  Grab the item bag near the tree to get a Spring Gun Clip (weapon for Red XIII).

In the second area, grab a bug and swing on the jelly vine.  Leave the bug on the hole in the ledge and a frog will jump out to replace it.  Now go  right and proceed across with the full hanging plant, Cloud will jump down to the ground with the jelly vine.  Go right to the ledge and throw the frog into the empty hanging plant and have Cloud leap onto it.  As the plant spits the frog out Cloud will leap to the high ledge where a beehive is.  Grab the beehive and jump back down.  Release the beehive near the snapping plant and the plant will close up to swallow the hive, then grab the yellow materia (Slash-All).  Pick up the frog again and this time throw it into the hanging plant on the far right.  Have Cloud wait on the plant and when it spits out the frog,  Cloud will leap to the far ledge to go to the next area.

In the third area, throw both bugs into the two hanging plants, then proceed and you'll find yourself amoungst the treetops.  Run down the middle branch and you'll find yourself back in the second area.  Grab the bag which contains a Minerva Band and head back up to the treetops (be careful because if you go too far down you will jump off and land back in the second area).  Back at the treetops, go along the tallest branch and head right.  Cloud will leap across the three vines and here nab the bag which contains the Typhoon summon materia.  Land back onto ground  and grab a frog.   Go right and throw the frog into the two hanging plants near the high ledge.  Throw on into a bag and use a bug to get to the other, and grab the beehive.  Go back to where the tree with the hole is and put the hive into the snapping plant.  Grab a bug and put it into the tree with the hole and a frog will leap out to replace the bug.  Grab the frog and head to the far-right hanging plant and throw the frog into it.  Have Cloud wait on the plant until it spits the frog out and Cloud will land on the far ledge with the cave.

In the cave, go to the right and open the chest to get the Apocalypse (weapon for Cloud).  Go to the next room and open the chest to get an Elixir.  Now head for the exit to the left.  You'll back outside!

If you go to the middle part of the western continent, you notice a huge lake in the mountains with a large waterfall in the middle.  To go in with a Green/Black/Gold chocobo, just have it climb next to the waterfall and dismount to enter.  To get in with just the submarine, go to the western area near the waterfall.  In the underwater canyons there sould be a narrow underwater valley.  Pilot the sub and proceed in until you are in a isolated cave.  Here you can submerge and you'll be in the huge lake.  Get of the submarine and enter the waterfall.  Here you will be in a sparkly room with no music.  If you don't have Vincent in your party nothing will happen.  But stick him in your party and enter the cave.  Your party will meet Lucrecia, Vincent's lost love.  There will be a flashback of Vincent's past.  After the flashback you'll find your party back in the world map.  Now wait until you are in disk 3 and go back to the waterfall.  Examine the light where Lucrecia was and you'll get Vincent's ultimate weapon, the Death Penalty.  You will also get the Chaos limit break manual, which will teach Vincent's final limit break.
