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).

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

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

--{====- - 12 Jun 08 at 04:25:32

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%?

20
--{====- - 13 Jun 08 at 04:51:42

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

22
--{====- - 14 Jun 08 at 02:49:48

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?

23
--{====- - 14 Jun 08 at 02:54:30

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 :)

--{====- - 17 Jun 08 at 00:45:38

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?

26
--{====- - 17 Jun 08 at 00:49:52

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

29
--{====- - 17 Jun 08 at 01:26:45

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?

30
--{====- - 17 Jun 08 at 01:28:13

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