Stuck with Crisis Core? Can’t get the materia/items you want? Enemies are too powerful? Look no further. This guide will help you to create materia for buffs like +999% HP, +100 Stats, get tips for farming and so much more.

Note that credits for whatever has been posted here are due to their respective contributors.

Note: I seemed to have been bumped off the frontpage of Google by the more popular forums on the keywords Crisis Core Materia Fusion Guide, Materia Fusion Guide and Crisis Core Fusion. I’m editing the post so I can reach 1st page again *fingers crossed*.

Update: Wow, this is the 3rd time I’ve been kicked of the 2nd spot for the keywords, Crisis Core Materia Fusion Guide, Materia Fusion Guide and Crisis Core Fusion.  Hoping the minor revision will help me get back on track (or maybe it means I need to update much more often to get the 1st spot for Crisis Core Materia Fusion Guide on Google).

If you found this guide useful or merely want to share it, just copy and paste the following codes when needed.

Now without further adieu:

The Materia Fusion Guide

The main requirement is that your finish mission 7-2-1 for the Item fusion tome (item fusion).

Note:

Many people don’t understand that 7-2-1, here’s an example:

Mission-> 7 (Seeking Priceless Items)->2 (Precious Things->1 (Seek and Destroy)..

Note: this will be available at Chapter 5 (when you meet Aeris/Aerith).

Table of Contents

  1. HP modifier
  2. Costly Punch Materia
  3. SP Gathering
  4. Stat Modifier & Tricks
  5. Accessories Location
  6. Other Useful Accessories
  7. Shop Location (Obtained in Mission)
  8. Mission Tips

HP modifier

To those starting at the game, that have small money, you can try this…

Requirements:
Potions and Hp Ups

Potion=buy from shop
Hp Up+= Steal or Mug from Vajradhara Indra in mission 4-4-1 (Easy Mission) (if you’re having hard time dealing with this monster, try the second option)

Steal Materia Location
Mission 7-4-1 (Treasure Chest)
Mission 8-3-6 (Treasure Chest)

Note: The mission difficulty depends on Zack’s Level..

Note: The picture below is a monster that can be fight at normal encounter (not a mission boss), so you can fight it all over again without completing the mission (hassle free)

Option 2:
Mission 4-2-5 (Very Easy Mission) (thanks to yuimishima for the tip)…

If you collected the needed requirements, proceed to materia fusion

First we combine the 2 Hp Up+ that we stole and Potion(80) like this…

Ok, combine again a 2 Hp Up+ and Potion(80), so the result will be 2 Hp Up+ with +70% each..

Then we will combine those 2 like this

After that, create again a HP up+ with 70%, then do this

Then repeat the process again, to increase the percent of the Hp Materia..

Now for those who like to link them to magic like curaga, combine Hp UP materia + curaga materia

Example Hp+999% + Curaga= Curaga+999%

Costly Punch Materia

Now if you have HP+999%, then we proceed to the 99999 damage modifier

Requirements:
Adaman Bangle(Mission chest or reward) or Genji Armor(100% DMW) or Divine Slayer (Defeating Minerva)= Accessories that breaks HP limit
Brutal(Mission Chest or Reward, Genji Glove(Mission Chest) and Divine Slayer= Accessories that break damage Limit
Costly Punch

How to get costly punch:

Combine any punch materia + any dmw materia (like Megaflare dmw materia or Octaslash materia)..

Magical Punch Materia
Mission 1-5-4 (Treasure Chest)
Mission 4-5-6 (Reward)
Mission 5-4-2 (Reward)
Mission 6-5-5 (Treasure Chest)
Mission 7-5-5 (Treasure Chest)
Mission 9-3-4 (Reward)

Iron Fist Materia
Mission 3-5-2 (Treasure Chest)
Mission 5-3-3 (Reward)
Mission 7-5-1 (Treasure Chest)
Mission 9-2-5 (Reward)

Goblin Punch Materia
Mission 4-5-4 (Reward)

@DMW Materia

Bone Village Commerce (Shop)

Mission 7-5-3(Treasure Chest)

When finish, this will be the result..

Costly punch damage is based on your maximum hp and it ignores enemy vit, but it causes 0 damage when:

Example is the picture above

Zack has 55,836(max HP) but the HP break is 93,200 that causes costly punch damage to 0

You must have the exact HP or lower to dish out the 99999 damage…

When your HP breaks (because of that dmw reel), unequip your HP modifier then equip it again, then heal hehe…

SP Gathering

Now that you have costly punch..

We need to gather a huge amount of SP to do Materia Fusion (if you want +999% HP modifier)

This is the monster that give huge amount of SP, it is located in mission 8-6-1, 2-3-3, 6-4-1, its called RE Movers

If you want money gathering while getting SP, equip this

then this is what you get…

a 4000 SP & a Gold Armlet

So while you gathering SP, you also have Gold Armlet that you can sell for 3000G

Wow! This is a great guide! I’m always getting killed in the missions 9-x-x. :(

Allen’s last blog post..Ltrics Heaven - Complete Archive of Ltrics

Hehe.. I finished the game with this guide (one of the reasons why I’m so slow with updates on my blogs) and now re-playing with Hard mode ^^

samuel rose - 14 Apr 08 at 04:43:35

how do i obtain the adaman bangle. what missions or chests?

er you could’ve at least used the search function:
Adaman Bangle
Mission 7-3-6(Reward)
Mission 9-2-4(Treasure Chest)

Are there some missions, where I can get a lot of Adamantitte, Hero Drink, Dark Matter etc.???
And where can I get HP UP +… I just have HP UP, so I can’t raise my HP up to 99999?!

Right now I’m farming hard on mission 9-3-1 (a third power) where I get 1 hammer punch/goblin punch per steal and 1 black belt per kill.

What’s your materia setup btw Sylver?

Allen’s last blog post..Catching Up Again 031408

I just got my Curaga to + 999% HP ^_^
My setup.. err.. Just the Costly Punch, Curaga, some DMW Materia, Mug.. Forgot how to get Smart Consumer though

where can I get hero drink, dark matetr, etc… are there some good missions, where I could find alot of them?

Hero drink is given as a reward is SOME missions but it’s totally random
Dark Matter = 9-5-3 from worm

here’s what you need for a smart consumer:
~Steal (Master) + Libra
or
~Steal + Dash

hey, btw, you can find Nibel Accessories shop at Mission 6-4-4: Hiding in the Wasteland in a Chest. ^_^

you can buy all shock swords and preventtive shields.

does anyone knows where to farm Zeio Nut (AP+10%) or AP Makos, AP Stones?

I tried to find the magic pot in mission 7-6-6, but there is no magic pot coming… did I sth wrong??

I’ve found a new shop: Treasure Chest in Mission 2-4-1 and the new shop is called Junon Souvenirs… there you can buy Chocobo Stump, 1000 Needles, etc

@biosong and galardo..
thanks for the info. I’ll update the post and inform the creator of the guide

to everyone and sylv3rblade
i have found an easier way of farming Adamantite ^^
go to 7-6-4 (The Irritated Recruiter)

random battle a driller machine(yellow color) named Crazy Sword (this is also the boss for this mission)
this machine will die in 2 99999 hits.
in a ddition, the same machine also gives BRUTAL if you steal/mug.

note that in order to get these items you must have the Mog’s Amulet, if not you will only get Guard Stone from Stealing and no Adamantite.

beware of the
G Hoplite B’s shadow swith skill, it stops you and hits twice damage you very much.
Crazy Sword’s Drill Attack skill, hits me once and i am always dead.lol

enjoy^^

note:
my HP is only 46902 while doing this mission.
to answer my own question, Zeio Nut can be harvested from Bees, ofcourse equip the Mog’s Amulet

@galardo
try Mission 10-2-3 and using the following skills/magic on it when it asks for them: Jump, Fira, Gravity, and Spin Attack
much easier.^^

to add another option in farmiing SP, try the mover EX, it gives 8000 SP and gives Rune Amulet and Sells for 4000Gil

mover EX can be found 7-6-5
im using mog’s amulet

spin attack = assault twister

@biosong: I have a problem… I have no Gravity, Fira and Jump at all… do you know, where I can steal that Materia or is there any shop where I can buy that?

@galardo
there are a lot of ways to get gravity
in 4-2-5, in a certain chest
in 8-3-2, in a certain chest
in 8-3-4, in a certain chest
in 9-3-3, as a reward
in 9-4-2, in a certain chest

it is also a treasure right before tseng was added to your DMV

unfortunately i dont knwo any shop that sells it,nor i dont recall a monster i stole that from, what you can try is if you fought a monster that uses gravity, most likely you can steal the same materia from it, just use mog’s amulet.

now, Fira can be bought at The Happy Turtle Shop for 3000G

same with jump, i recall fighting a leaping monster and just use steal, or you can fuse (Power Attack + AP Up), or you can have Jump at 3-2-2 from one of the chests and as a reward in 6-1-3

Assault Twisteris dropped by Ifrit, Genesis Baldor
a reward in 2-5-1
from a chest in 3-2-2 (needs to be in chapter 8)

for your convinience, you can always refer to other guides. ^_^ google it. hehehe

OK thank you dude, I think now I would manage it ^^

there’s a more easier way to get money and farm SP at the same time.

in mission 6-3-5 -> Item in the Coal Mines

1. equip Mog’s Amulet, safety-bit or any other anti-death accessory
2. you may equip Dispel

-kill demons. you can steal magic up++, and Darkness materia can be obtained from each demon. they are very easy to kill. however, demons cast wall on themselves, so this where Dispel is useful.

-convert the Darkness into SP.
darkness = 6040 SP

*kill 20 demons (20 darkness) = 120,800 SP

it’s much better than spending time killing Movers.

———————————————-
also, there are two types of monsters that go with demons:

-Hornet: you can steal hi-potion, and they also drop hi-potion

-Boundfat: you can steal Crystal Bracelet, they drop SPR mako stone

sell the Crystal Bracelet for 7500gil each.

I’ve found the perfect mission for getting alot of SP: Mission 9-5-3 (Unusually Strong Monsters) there is the Mover RE, which gives you 20000 SP when you kill… if you first kill the other monster and then the jumping balls, you can get 20000×2 or 20000×3… so finally you could gain more than 100000 SP for one fight =)
That rulezZ

YESSSS… I’ve got all Genji Items (Genji Armour, Genji Gloves, Genji Shield)… and now I’ll finish the last mission.

lucky you galardo
i have no luck in getting the octoslash reel..

right now im finishing allmissions before i leave shinra bldg, why?? coz you get FREE pheonix down anytime, so you like have 2 lives every mission.

oh and btw, theres some unique items i come across, the one will multiply your max hp/mp/ap max x3, cool? i also manage to steal a RIBBOn, i wonder when can i get the super ribbon from magic pot.. spoke too soon, super ribbon seems to be a reward(9-6-2). hahaha

@xatm095
the figures you mention is quite impressive, however true to what galardo said, the mover RE is easy to beat than the demons plus you dont need to wear anti death, you can kill movers in 1hit. you get an item also after killing a mover so you can sell that, i think its 10000 worth item.

to add to your guide, there is this item that dooubles the drop of a monster, so if you equop that you can gather whatever item you wish twice as fast. good for the adamantite farmiing. ^^

@galardo
you are missing the Genji Helm. lol gives you Auto Libra and 0 AP/MP consumption.
to get it? buy it. hahahaha

@ biosong: I’ve a tip for getting the Genji Shield from the magic pot… buy Octaslash in the shop “Research Dept. QMC +” one or two times, than equip and voila you have a better chance in getting the Octaslash.
I did it in that way and after 1-2 hours I got the Genji Shield

here’s another tip if you want to be a MILLIONAIRE… ^^

go to minerva.
equip needed
~Mug or Steal
~Brigand’s Gloves (Grants a successful steal from an enemy)
steal the 99x Pheonix Down and sell it to shops, INSTANT 495,000gil
do it again and again.

regarding magic pot locations:
o There are 4 different Magic Pots
o The VERY FIRST TIME you successfully give a Magic Pot what it wants, you will receive the Magic Pot Tricks (DMW).

o(10-2-3) asks for: Jump, Fira, Gravity, Assault Twister.
Rewards:
2nd+ Time = Feather Cap OR Doc’s Code.

o(2-2-6) asks for: Blizzaga, Firaga, Thundaga, Gravity.
Rewards:
2nd+ Time = Precious Watch OR Cursed Ring.

o(2-5-4/2-5-5/2-5-6) asks for: Ultima, Triple Fire, Iron Punch, Electrocute.
Rewards:
2nd+ Time = Jeweled Ring OR Assault Targe.

o(7-6-6) asks for: Gil Toss, Costly Punch, 99999 Damage, Octaslash.
Rewards:
2nd Time = Genji Shield (You can get another if you equip it).
3rd+ Time = Impervious or Full Cure (M).

**credit goes to Absolute Steve from GameFaqs

hi guys got another tip about getting genji shield in 7-6-6

first have a mastered octoslash and a lucky stars then equip lucky stars 1st and go into battle, and let the dmw spin to cissnei and hope you get a lvl 5 lucky stars

when done, unequipped the lucky stars and equip the octoslash and go find the magic pot, satisfy the 1st 3 conditions the magic pot wants and wait for octoslash to happen, if you have a mastered octoslash it will happen for you.

i have tried this method and it work 3 times in a row for me with the spoils as genji shield on the 1st, impervious on the 2nd and full cure materia on the 3rd.

hope this info helps for fellow gamers.

here is some easier tips to get those materias fused with +100 stats with only using 2 sets of 99 adamantite for every fused materia shown in Atma Xplorer page accordingly.

first is +100 mag stats, after completing mission 9-6-4, the reward is a +100 exaflare mastered materia, you can use this materia to fuse a ultima with +100 mag stats directly using flare + the mastered exaflare reward.

next for spirit stats using mythrils, rather than farming for adamantites, you can farm for mythrils in mission 2-5-3 hunting 2 mover ex, this mission map is very very small so getting to the boss is very fast, after which equip the brigand glove to enable a successful steal and every steal you will get 2 mythrils from a mover ex but they will give flare materia also, so in no time you can get 99 of it and you can fuse the 99 mythrils to obtain a +100 spirit for you materia result you desire.

i find it more easier to farm for mythrils than adamantites to fuse a +100 spirit materia as you already have close to 40 mythrils in your inventory by that time and farming for the rest will be more faster than farming for a total of 3 sets of adamantites.

with mag and spirit settled, leaving luck and vitality, you will need adamantites where hunting in mission 7-6-4 will be faster but you have to equip the mog amulet.

gysahl greens are more difficult to farm as they only dropped from cactuars and they are difficult to kill.

i have tried the above methods and are able to fused those materias which are exactly the same as Atma Xplorer with only my luck stats to flare and all these done in around 60 hours including finishing minerva for my first play.

hope the above info helps fellow gamers around.

here is another money earning tip…

in mission 7-6-4 where you are hunting for adamantites, you will encounter a genesis enforcer, it carrys a sickle and its movement is very slow, you can defeat it with 2 costly punch.

equip the mog amulet which you also need to get your adamantites from the drill machines and the genesis enforcer will give you force of nature when you steal or mug from them and kaiser knuckles when you defeat them, imagine the time spent hunting adamantites in this mission and encountering the genesis enforcer randomly, so adding this 2 drops you will get a lot of money in the end.

hope this info helps.

can someone please give me a hint about the locations of the items needed for materia fusion? i got a sample of each but i’ve already used them so i’m a bit worried if i can still find each of the items needed to do the tricks for stat modification.. thanks!!

why is it my hp doesn’t change even though i have the hp up+999% need help pls

first you must find the “adaman bangle..” i’m not sure where i found it but i got 2 of them.. i got 1 from a treasure chest and the other was a reward from a mission.. it sets the hp limit to 99999 when equipped..

There’s an even easier way to max materia, and it can be done mid-game! Simply unlock mission 6-3-5, and go in with Blaze Armlet, Safety Bit, and Mog’s Amulet.

Fight Boundfats and steal their Crystal Bracelets. 1 Crystal Bracelet fuses into 1 Spr+1, and they’re much much easier to kill than Adamntite holding enemies, plus they don’t do a whole lot of damage and will heal you with Firagas if you have Blaze Armlet. You have a 100% steal rate if you have Mog’s Amulet equipped. The Safety Bit is to protect you from the accompanying Demons’ Death spells.

Collect 99 Crystal Bracelets and you can get Spr+100 on a Curaga (Cure + Fire/Ice/Thunder/Cure + 99 Crystal Bracelets) then fuse that Curaga with your desired materia and add a stat item and voila! The Demons drop Darkness which can be converted for 6040 SP a pop, which should keep your fusing funds excessive. You can also sell them off to raise money for that Genji Helm.

Now go kill Minerva, and tell her Seraph sent you.

sry guys my info for getting adamantites and encountering the genesis enforcer is in mission 3-5-6 ‘The Last of the Genesis Troops’.

you can get a higher encounter of the crazy sword in this cave mission map.

just discovered something also…

you can get 2 adamantites from the crazy sword in the farming mission rather than the usual drop of 1 adamantite when you equip the Jeweled Ring accessory.

this way you can cut short the time to hunt for adamantites already.

oh yah you can also equip the Jeweled Ring when hunting for adamantites to receive 2 instead of the usual 1

hey try stealing from the boss while gathering adamantine.. it gives 2 pcs sp barrier which could be converted to 15k sp,, this makes hunting adamantine and sp at the same time easier since hunting 99 pcs adamantine = 99 pcs sp barrier and 99x 15010 = 1,485,990 sp.. so u can combine it already without hunting for sp from those movers..

does anyone know if theres a monster where you can get steal or mug dropped? im at lst boss done all other missions and accidentally sp converted my steals and mugs. now i cant get 99 pheonix downs!!! can ne1 help? i tried all the missions again so theyre not in any chests anymore

for steal materia you can get it from

Gremlin as a rare steal at missions 2-5-5, 6-6-4 and 9-4-3 so you have to equip mog amulet.

for mug materia you can get it from

Lesser Demon as a rare steal at missions 9-6-4 so mog amulet needed also.

both enemies are Hedgehog Pie class to let you identify them easily.

to fuse mug materia just use

Smart Consumer (Master) + Libra or

Steal + Electrocute

i would prefer you to fuse a mug materia since you can hunt steal materia easily.

hope the info helps…

where can i buy the genji helm? answer pls

hi im level 55 and im playing hard mode

is there any place recommended for me to train at to increase my level quickly?

I need help!!! I am level 46 and my hp is 9,999. I incresed the hp++ to 330% but my hp is still 9,999. What do I do?

@Geo
You need the Adaman Bangle to Break the HP limit

GUYS!!! YOU SHOULD EQUIP
JEWELED RING FOR FARMING SO DAT U GET 4 ADAMITES INSTEAD OF 2!!!!
:]

Sorry to bother again but i finally achieved hp + 999 materia, but my hp is only 40,000. What do I do? It hasnt increased,why?

What level are you? You current level is also a factor on your HP as well as other equipment.

Oh thanks for answering me! Ok my level is 53, My materia is quake, Hp+999, Hell Thundaga, Assault Twister+, Mug, and Curaga( they are all master). My accessories are carbon bangle, black belt, brigands gloves, and adaman bangle.

i noticed it was left out. there is 1 more piece of genji equipment. its the genji helm which is in the net shop shade. its cost is 1,000,000. and can only be bought once. if you leave and re enter the shop it will be goine. HOWEVER if your extreamy rich you can keep buying it over n over. to get 99 of them u will need 99 million gil. but its possible.i got this tip from Absolute Steves accessory guide.

@geo
just combine your HP +999% to Curaga (follow the guide above) and equip another one (HP+700% w/ let’s say your Hell Thundaga).. It’s either that you get equipments that compensate for it.

@dan
hmm.. thanks for the additional info

Hi, I have add 100 to all my states using the method taught above but my states are not 255, onli 161 (lvl 91 now). How do you guys get 255 before fighting Minerva? also what are the materia and items u guy equip? Also how do i add atates to steal? is there a way? Thanks alot all!

Thanks so much your a life saver. I’ll get to work on the hp+ 700% and let you know if it worked!

I dont get it. I keep fusing hp+999% with curaga but it still gives me hp+999% not curaga 999%. Same thing with Hell Thundaga. It gives me an entirely different materia. Im thinking its because there all master but im not the expert, you are. Im sorry to bother but im dying to get 99,999 hp so please help and thanks for your patience.

Hi, i just read your hp stat modifier and went on to try. Currently i am level 50, managed to get hp+ with hp +810%. i cant proceed further as my sp was not enough. So out of curiosity, i went to equip the hp+ 810%. but i realised my max hp is still at 9999. have i fused wrongly? pls advice

You need to have the Adaman Bangle accessory. Just look it up using CTRL + F. It’s on this post and on the comments.

Anyone can teach me how to get the material “Ultima”? Thx!

Ultima can be produced by combining Flare w/ any DMW materia.

Thx, sylv3rblade!
But how can I get Flare?
Thx again!

Flare materia can be stolen from Mover EX, but I think you need the Mog Amulet accessory to get it. Flare is also rewarded in some missions and found in some treasure boxes.

does 2 POWER SUIT is advisable? haha but my atk and vit goes up to 255 each.

well it’s up to you. But once you get Costly punch, having any addition to the atk stat is kinda useless since you automatically deal 99999 damage.

another adamantite fast farming idea

This is what i’ve equipped:
-Electrocute (almost mastered)
-two hp mod +999%
-Costly Punch +100% mag
-Dual cast

-genji armor (that one that needs to be bought at atrosious price tag)
-brutal (breaks attacks to 99999)
-Adamin bangle(breaks hp to 99999)
-mog amulet

Now same farming at the boss in mission 9-3-4

but use
Electro…..with that mag…..you just need to press it 3 times
I’ve seen each hit at 50k….maybe 5 of them .

: )

Thanks sylv3rblade, I have finally achieved hp 99,999. It took me a while cause I rested a few days and then got to work but i figured it out, and while I was at it I got costly punch, It freaken rocks!!! Thanks soo much for your help and I greatly appreciate it :) And thanks to you brian also for helping, I used some of your tricks to so thanks!!

I did not finish reading threw all posts but as a quick time saver, instead of farming all of the stuff to make the + 100 mods or even the +999 hp mod ect. Steal 1 HP+ and then steal 99 pheonix down from mineva and combine with any low lv random (like fire ect) to make a HP+ 999%

then you can combine than with anything plus 1 mod item such as 1 Adamantite for a +100 Vit or a Mytrhil for +100 Spirit. So it can basicly be done in minutes instead of hours if your already that far in the missions.

it really sucks.. even i fight wid costly punch,magical punch, hammerpunch, iron fist. even it cause 99999 damage.. some of the monsters can hit you as hard as you do.. wew…

i only got genji helm. where can i find some of the genji? hahah .. magical pot? shops?

hey.. and also.. i only got 1 left at my dmw.. where can i find cactuar? hahaha. damn.. maybe i miss it..

Nightmarez can give an example

i seen this method in other guides but still cant figure it out when i tried it out

to tOpitz

to unlock cactuar mission in 10-1-1, you have to find and defeat the cactuar in mission 3-1-3

in 3-1-3, the mission boss is a genesis clone and the cactuar is at the back of the clone, so circle around it to the back and you will find it

I wrote a tool to calculate what Materia you can make with the materia that you have. Check it out here:
http://lisbakken.com/materia_maker/materia_maker.html

@Nightmarez
hmm.. I can’t seem to make a costly punch materia combine with an HP +999% materia

oh but wait, I’m filling up the stats for Minerva.

@ben
nice tool.

bro sylv3rblade try this to get a costly punch materia with hp+999%

step 1
fuse 2 lvl 1 DMW materias with a fat chocobo feather

result = lvl 1 libra with hp +40%

step 2
fuse the libra materia you got in step 1 with a normal lvl 1 libra materia and 99 phoenix downs

result = lvl 1 libra with hp+999%

final step
fuse a lvl 1 costly punch materia with the libra materia in step 2

result = lvl 1 costly punch with hp+999%

i tired this out personally and this is the result i got

try it out sylv3rblade and update if it works for you

Thanks for the tip, but I think it’ll be a while before I can update (or actually try the tip). I’m quite busy with work and managing my blogs.

no problem

will be here frequently to help out others

On a UK advert for the game I saw, it has Zack using octaslash from his list of commands next to attack item etc. It says Octaslash level 5. Is there a way you can do this in the game to get octaslash as a command ?! or do you need to complete the game to unlock it or something ?
No one believes me but I swear I saw it !

i came across it when i downloaded a save file from other gamers in gamefaqs

those DMW materias are in green like magic materias and once you equipped them and go into battle, it falls within the command slots and once you activate the materia, you will unleash the skill

but overall i dun think those DMW materias can be fused to become a useable command materia, if so it will be heaven and owning the game

what i believe is they are using cheat codes, other than those converted DMW materias, other items in the inventory are all 99 including ganji equips, DMW menu are all 9999 and all stats are 255 without the use of fused materias with stats bonuses

i tried those save files out of fun and this is what i found out

if there is really a way to fuse those DMW materias to be a command materia pls share

Hi, the HP UP + 999% is Brilliant!
currently play Hard mode and totally need this.

but how do i steal 99 pheonix down from mineva?
i mean, mineva where?
thanks!

minerva is in mission 9-6-6

you can just mug or steal the 99 phoenix down from it

missions are repeatable so just go in and steal the hell out of minerva

go to mission 1-3-2 and kill tigers with mog amulet on to farm ap+ and fuse them till you have a 999% ap+ then sp convert it, its the second fastest sp method only second to minerva

thanks man! but still a long way to go till i can go for 9-6-6.
playing hard mode, totally need this

by the way, i still haven’t unlock 7-X-X series mission, how do i unlock it? do i need to play till certain story line to unlock it?

dude, the tips you gave on mission 1-3-2 for 999% AP, i can convert it to HP +999%?

im not sure about unlocking stuff yet i havent done it all myself:) but i know that using ap+ to make hp999% is faster if you put two ap+ 20% together with 90 soma you get an ap with 120% fuse that with any % up and it adds 60% to it so its faster than the potions and hp+ also you probably get ap+’s about a hundred times faster than hp+’s :p but i noticed something, if you take and ap+ and an hp+ the one on top gets the bonus regardless of the lower ones stats

to unlock missions 7-1-1 to 7-1-6, you will need to talk to a soldier 3rd class in the shinra hq building briefing room in chapter 4

after finishing this first 6 missions, talk to him again to get an item for building your flower cart with areith in the later part of the game

for 7-2-1, it will be unlocked in chapter 5 of the game play and the rest is unlocked by just clearing missions onwards

there are many ways to fuse materias and i agree using hp+ with potions is tedious

you can try using hp+ fuse with elixirs, the increment effect is more bigger than potions

yeah, but what kind of good rpg lets you get anywhere without some grinding work? :) hmm also im not sure if x-potions give a bigger increment than elixers, i’ll check that when i get home:) man its hard to get through them 9-x-x missions, dang lol im getting slaughtered with 99999 hp and 180 vit lol, hmmm where can you find a great malboro?

and one more thing. im almost certain that people that have the octaslash command are hackers haha. but that would seriously pwn if you could get one legally

totally agreed, if we can managed to fuse those DMW materias to be an ad hoc command materia, the game play is totally useless

final fantasy series is all about hard work and patience in order to archieve everything

for your info, great malboro is a mission boss in 9-6-4

x-potions also give a boost in hp% increment but its not as great as elixirs, i have compared the difference before when i started to fuse hp% materias

my process is more tedious, i fused my hp materias with elixirs, mastering them to get a higher %, then fuse with another mastered hp% materia to get a higher hp% effect and so on to get 999%

elixirs are rare in your 1st play but fusing 10 or even 20 elixirs you can see the effect already, if not just fuse with potions or even x-potions to the desired % you want then master them to get a higher % and fuse them altogether

missions 9-5-1 onwards you can expect them to be hard but can be done when you know how to tackle them carefully and just let your costly punch do all the work

but watch out for cactuars in 9-6-1, they normally deal 10k damage, but when they are defeated, they will cast 100k damage, if you cant manage to avoid this move, even with 99k hp you are a dead Zack, imagine you killed 2 of them at the same time, if you find you are not fast enough, equipped the Dash materia to move around more quickly to avoid

moreover to the end of 9-6-1, you will encounter 3 cactuars so remember to cast phoenix downs whenever you are dead if not the mission is practically over

hope it helps :)

yeah, i agree with you, if you come into this series unprepaired for the workload your looking at…. this game will eat your soul, but if you know what your doing the rewards are totally worth it. thanks by by the way for the info, and clarifying the x-potion thing, but im having trouble with the entire 9-x-x set in general, can you tell me how you tackled it? like what materia and items?

also, if your feeling up to it i need a list of where the summons are haha i need to complete my dmw

for missions 9-x-x, make sure you have costly punch and 99999hp

its also impt to have the genji shield, genji armour and genji gloves with you

next try to boost your stats with your fused materias

you can try to understand how the mobs move, attack then hit and avoid them tactically, if you dun feel confident, consume phoenix downs whenever possible

another way is try to avoid random encounters by hugging to the sides of the walls when you move, even having to travel longer channels, take note that you have to cover a lot of areas to get the reward chests and find the mission boss, when you reach those missions, you will understand what i meant

by the time i reached 9-5-1, my materias are all fused with the needed stats except for att, you dun require att since costly punch is more than enough to help you through

haha ok

ifrit - clear mission 8-1-1

bahamut - clear mission 8-1-4

bahamut fury - clear mission 8-5-6

odin - clear mission 8-1-6

phoenix - in chapter 9, talk to the boy who hangs around at the square
and select the option to do the mystery quest 1 then check the water tower

chocobo - chest in 8-4-1

cactuar - clear mission 10-1-3

tonberry - clear mission 10-2-3

cait sith - chest in 8-4-3

moggle - chest in 8-4-4

magic pot - most simple is to encounter them in mission 10-2-3, but beforehand equip Jump, Fira, Gravity, Assault Twister first and just use those commands when the magic pot require you to do so, when done, it will be your DMW

thats all

yeah wall hugging is mandatory, andbody that can beat all the missions with out it should give themselves a pat on the back hahaha but i made it to mission 9-5-1 without brutal, or ne dmg break haha, its about time i got it thogh, but where is the easiest one?

noooooooooooooooo i have to resart the game!!! i missed phoenix!!! :((((((((((((((

hey how can i deal 99999 to the magic pot after doing the costly punch when it asks for it?

what do you mean by easiest one???

then since you miss the phoenix materia, why not just rush thru and complete the game and start with a new game plus to save all your previous effort, i believe it will be faster also

then delita, you can just use costly punch again to deal the 99999 dmg to the magic pot

yeah im at the very last save point now, but i have a question, when you do the save after you beat the game thing do you start with the same materia, lvl etc…??

i mean the quickest one from the start of the game now lol

oh and btw i greatly appreciate the summon list brian

oh ok…. what store is it to where i can get the sephiroth dmw materia and the magic pot dmw materia?

oh and in mission 7-6-6 im having trouble finding the magic pot. is it even there?!?!?

all your materias, lvl, game time, gil, sp, dmw % stats and basic items and accessories in your inventory are carried forward when you start the new game plus

but you got to collect all the dmw items again thru missions including the keychain and backpack accessory

delita the octoslash materia can be bought at Research Dept. QMC + shop, it is found in a treasure chest in chapter 10 Gongaga Village, search the area thoroughly as the chest is quite hard to locate if not as you progress on, you will miss this chest permanently

the magic pot is quite hard to encounter, my encounter rates are also quite random but i find it more easier to encounter them when you start the mission and just walk up and down the long stretch above the starting point

hmm this post is no longer on the first page of google for “crisis core materia fusion”

I need to update and optimize it some more.

so its possible to have more than 4 item slots????

as long as it still has the same URL ^_^

nvm i see what your saying, so you dont start with four accessory slots or ne dmws besides angeal

lol the irst parts of the game are going to be a joke at lvl 90

guys im having trouble with mission 7-6-5. its the one before you fight minerva. i keep dying. plus can anyone show me how to get flare with mag+100?

first you have to get flare… haha then just use A dark matter and 99 phoenix downs

yap you dun start with all the perks at the start of the game, but you will still pawn with your lvl and stats

then delita you must have meant 9-6-5, why dun you fuse a +100 mag onto a ultima, its much more simple

process for fusing flare is much more complicated

if you still wanna fuse a +100 mag flare then transfer the +100 mag exaflare reward in mission 9-6-4, you shld have it since you already reach 9-6-5

try this, simply fuse the +100 mag exaflare materia you got in mission 9-6-4 with a libra materia

Libra + Exaflare +100 mag = libra lvl 1 +100 mag

then hope you have a mastered electrocute with you then fuse it with the libra you fused eariler on, with electrocute on top and the libra on the 2nd, then you can obtain a lvl 1 flare with + 100 mag materia

if you intend to fuse a ultima with + 100 mag then simply use the exaflare + 100 mag and fuse it with either tri fire, tri thundaga, electrocute, flare or energy

try to see if it works and update here

thks and hope it helps :)

Brian, you are a beast! it worked i got a flare that gives me a MAG+100! I need your help again….. i need to find a way to get an electrocute materia that gives me VIT+100. can you help? oh and im having trouble getting da Genji Armor also. i have the helm (cost 1mil), shield (magic pot finally got it!), gloves (treasure chest). got any tips on that also?

haha what a way to describe me

genji armour can be obtained when you got all 100% for your dmw stats, where summons and chocobo support dmw will be 100% upon summoning them once and all characters scenes seen to reach 100%, if you still have problems then equip the specific dmw materia for the one you are lacking

then to get a + 100 vit electrocute, you will need to do more work

my method of getting it is simply fusing libra and libra with 99 adamantites to get libra + 100 vit, yes that means you will have to hunt for 99 adamantites, you can refer to the earlier posts where i have describe where to hunt adamantites effectively

when you have done this, then fuse the libra + 100 vit with a tri fire materia and you will get a tri fire + 100 vit materia

then fuse a mastered tri thundaga with the tri fire above and you will get your + 100 vit electrocute

another way is if you have a mastered tri fire materia, then simply fuse the libra + 100 vit with the mastered tri fire materia and you will get the same result

try it and see if this works but i think you will spend some time 1st in collecting adamantites

if there are other methods. pls also share as this is the only method i know of

brian there is another method thats really easy and efficent. here it is:

Fuse a Libra lvl.1 with a dmw ( i used rebirth flame Mag+80 or zantenzuken Mag+60) and add some stat boost item that u have alot of (like i had alot of chocobo feathers so i put in 40 chocobo feathers and i got a Lvl.1 libra hp+999%) then fuse da following:

electrocute lvl.1+ Libra lvl.1 hp+999%+adamantite (1)= electrocute lvl.1 Vit+100.

thats how i did it and it worked. oh and i finally got everything in da game! i beat minerva and got 100% in mission progress. now all i need is that stupid genji armor but i dont think
