Nibel Reactor (Final Fantasy VII field)

Nibel Reactor is a field map in Final Fantasy VII, visited twice. It is a mako reactor located atop Mt. Nibel in the Nibel Area, near the town of Nibelheim. First seen in a flashback during "The Tragedy of Five Years Ago", in which Cloud recounts his version of events that occurred in the Nibelheim Incident, it becomes an optional visit when returned to in the chapter "Unnatural Hometown".
== Layout ==
====Nibel Reactor Entrance====
The outside of the reactor is barren and has stairs leading up to the entrance. Tifa stays here with a Shinra infantryman in the story Cloud tells the party in Kalm in Final Fantasy VII.
====Nibel Reactor====
;
A narrow walkway crosses the glowing core that leads to the depths of the planet and the lifestream. Steam or mako vapor rises from the pit.
;
The room has rows of pods that are filled with mako energy and test subjects known as makonoids. The broken valve that had the reactor malfunction was located here. The stairs in the middle lead to a chamber that has the plaque "JENOVA" above the door.
;
Jenova is held in the container in the middle that is illuminated by blue lights. Various tubes are attached to her body, and on the floor in front of the tube is a sign that reads "JENOVA". One can use the largest tube into the tank to walk up to it. Jenova is usually covered by an angelic effigy.
