Da-chao Statue

Located in Wutai, the Da Chao Statue is the name given to the monolithic sculpture sculpted into the mountain overlooking Wutai Village.

Story
The Da Chao mountain, as well as the entire village of Wutai, is an optional area, but is part of Yuffie's sidequest. Don Corneo kidnaps both Yuffie and Elena and ties them to the face of one of the statues on the mountainside, and the player party joins forces with the Turks to rescue the two. The player party defeats Don Corneo's "pet" Rapps, but when Corneo threatens to send Yuffie and Elena plummeting down the mountain, Reno and Rude intervene, kicking Corneo off the cliffside to his death. Afterward Reno gets a call from Shinra to continue pursuing Cloud and his friends, but puts the assignment off because they are still off duty.

Fire Cave
There is a cave on the mountain covered in flames. On the first visit the player can find Cid's Dragoon Lance in the cave, but the flames block the path further. After the Huge Materia quest in Junon Underwater Reactor the player finds the Leviathan Scales, which can be used to quell the fires in the cave to find Steal as Well Materia and Oritsuru weapon for Yuffie.
