This is the Crisis Core Materia Fusion Guide, it’s meant to help you master Materia Fusion in Final Fantasy Crisis Core to create materia for buffs like +999% HP, +100 Stats, get tips for farming and so much more.
Crisis Core Materia Fusion Guide will help you even the odds against the monsters in Crisis Core and even help you defeat Minerva ^_^. So without further pause:
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

glad to be of help mr stick
so i tried to defeat minerva again last night, i dont know how long that battle was taking me. and how many phoenix downs it took. i was getting pretty bored, especially with the whole judgement arrow-elixir-phoenix down-repeat process so i just let myself die. i was experimenting on which combo of materia was good but then again, costly punch is the most effective.
my current lineup besides curaga hp+999% and costly punch+950% is…
tri fire +100 mag
mug +100 vit
quake +100 spr
(i forgot) +100 luk
right now, im trying to get all DMW to 100%, the only dmw left are cloud (90%), cissnei (90%) and genesis (10%)
its kinda frustrating too coz when cissnei comes up in the modulating phase, it changes to the reel where bahamut and all the others are.
oh! and this may be a little off topic but i watched FF7 last order last night and it was awesome! lol.
hey MrStick. the other time u told me to fuse my lvl4 curaga with my hp+(m). but it doesn’t work. does anyone else has any solutions for this? to fuse curaga with my hp+(m).
Lol Zeidrich, it is 9-6-6. My mistake! I didn’t remember that it was a mistake, but was too late lol.
And I know how you feel. It is a disappointment on the fact it has SP Master. I lost 2million SP when getting 99 phoenix downs from her twice. Didn’t realise it until I noticed my SP went from 5mill to 2.9 million or something like that.
@Skidoodle, lol! It took me not even 10 minutes to defeat her. Simple use as many Costly Punches as you can until her next attack and block or evade. It took me roughly 10 phoenix downs and 2 elixirs. Wasn’t that hard to be honest.
About mastering your DMW to 100%, I know it was frustrating for me as well. It took me over A LOT of hours to get Sephiroth from 75% to 100%. And trust me, you don’t want to know the number of hours lol.
@Quincy. Then I don’t know. I fused my Curaga and HP+ aaaages ago. Can’t remember what I did. I think I fused my HP+ to get something else with HP+???% and then fused that with Curuga to get my Curaga with the HP+???%. Something like that. Save and then experiment the obvious fusions! Sorry xD
btw wad is so good bout smart consumer? o.o
@Quincy
smart consumer
example:
u use ether
but it only heals half of ur mp
if u have smart consumer
it doubles
or so what they say
so if u use ether it heals ur MP fully
umm can someone help me how
can i fuse my full cure to other materias
so the reuslt will also be full cure
if i fuse my full cure the result is not full cure
Do i have to get to chapter 11 to unlock all the memories? and is it true that you have to set your dmw to heavenly before you can view the memories in genesis’ dmw?
the problem i have with minerva is she’s too aggressive, and keeps on using the crimson flare – flash slash combo. i cant get close to her. and when i hit her with costly punch, right away she uses thors hammer or that feather thing to damage me.
@skidoodle
u can sometimes cannot be hit by photon feather when ur near to minerva…or simply block it
thor’s hammer–ucan dodge it with the right timing, when she hammers her staff
crimson flare–block it, yes you should block it..
flash slash—if u raise ur luck to 155 above she can’t double hit her flash slash but it’s up 2 u…
by the way what’s ur stats???
@Quincy
Smart Consumer increases the effects of consumable items such as; Potion, Ether, Soma….
@Zeidrich
:O You got Full Cure! Before me!? :O lol. No problem. Unfortunately, you can’t fuse it to get the same results. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be saying have Curaga with HP+999%, and instead have Full Cure. We use Curaga as you can fuse it to get the same result. However, we don’t, well more like can’t use Full Cure as it will always give you a different result. There are a few materia that you can not fuse to get back to the original state. Full Cure is one of them.
@Skidoodle, as Zeidrich said. I usually throw 2 or 3 Costly Punches until she does Photon Feathers, and just stay close to her to avoid it, if anything get hit once or twice which only does 2500 damage roughly, or not even that. Sometimes I dodge ‘em
.
Thors hammer is easy to judge. As you as you see it at the top ‘Thors Hammer’ wait a second or two and then dodge. It won’t take long to get used to it. Her Flash Slash, I most of the time dodge it.
With regards to her Crimson Flare, always get right close to her and keep on blocking. If you don’t it may take upto 23,000 off you, if you block it gets reduced to 3,000 or so. As soon as your effected by its hit, quickly throw a good 2 or 3 Costly Punches.
The one where she freezes you, you can reduce the damage by blocking just in time. Oh and keep the Genji Shield on (the one with Auto-Regen). Its EXTREMELY useful. I had it when I first battled her seriously. And it was a great help.I didn’t worry too much on curing as long as my HP was above 75,000, even though the ice move took about 12,000.
As soon as you see ‘Judgement Arrow’ above, quickly put your finger on to the items list. As soon as judgement arrow is done, click on your items, left, and straight away use a phoenix down. It only took me no more than 10 (could have been 8 or 9 lol)
Your stats seem to be good like mine – should be if your at level 80ish. So I don’t see why your facing problems.
I don’t think you need to ask anymore. Just look at my stats and method.
Oh and about unlocking all memories, I don’t know if you have to be at chapter 11. I thought you do, but not sure. I was at the last chapter when I got 100%. Also, about the heavenly thing, don’t have a clue on that. The last 2 people I had to get to 100% was Cloud, and the worst Sephiroth. Blimey! Lets not go how long it took me to get Sephiroth!!!!!
so how about full cure and i fuse it with full cure???does it give also full cure???
they say u can get full care by rare steal on goliath mission 9-6-5
hey i need some help here, how do i defeat that stupid bird in hojo’s experiment mission? it keeps regen after i hit it.
thanks guys. when im battling minerva i always have adaman bangle, ziedrich, genji glove, genji shield equipped.
wait does genji shield give auto regen? i thought it only gave auto barrier, mbarrier, immunity to status effects and absorb elemental attacks?
im really ticked off, i cant get cloud and cissnei’s dmw to 100%. its still stuck at 90%. with genesis im starting to give up on it coz it stays at 10%
it’s genji armor with regen
Zeidrich, unfortunately, I can’t say anything on that, apart from don’t think so. I’m not sure, haven’t tried it.
Also, sorry for any mistakes I make in my information. I stopped playing it for quite some time, been busy, so starting to forget lol. And yeah, it was Genji Armor that has regen.
@Curious. Its not that difficult. Just keep hitting it with Costly Punch. Thats the main key in defeating strong enemies. You can try equipping Tri-Fire or Tri-Thunder along with Dualcast and see how effective that is. When I uses Tri-Fire and Dualcast on a monster it does 25,000 x6, which is 150,000 damage approximately. But it does drain your MP a lot xD.
@Skidoodle, try having these equipped: Genji Shield, Genji Glove, Genji Armor and Ziedrich.
Skidoodle, I waited until I was at the last chapter to get my DMW to 100%. And don’t loose hope. Your DMW percentage goes up when you view a new cut scene clip in the DMW mode.[not movie cut scene]. Sometimes you keep viewing the same one. But just wait, you’ll come across a new one and it will boost up your percentage.
For Cissnei, buy 4 Lucky Star materias and, equip them along with Moogle materia. Go into a the first few mission where you fight 50 or so Soldiers, and just leave the PSP – the DMW will keep on spining, you’ll get attacked and loose a bit of hp. While this happens, your bound to get Moogle Boost, level up your materia, which will increase your chances of getting that DMW. – if you understand what I mean.
Once you have 4 (or 5, and its ideal to have quake as your 6th materia in my opinion) or so Mastered Lucky Star Materias, do the battle again but without Moogle Boost. This will increase your chances of getting Cissneis DMW by I think x25. You’ll have LOADS of HP, so it wouldn’t matter if you get attacked 100 or so damage. Just heal yourself when you want/need to.
You can do the samething but with 1 or 2 Moogle Materia and the rest 4 other materias and master them this way – like I did. I just left the psp, and just pressed a button to prevent it from going on to sleep mode. Once you got your materia mastered (when the Moogle is at Lvl 5, your materia will be mastered, same with if its Lvl 4. If its Lvl 3, your materia goes from lvl 1 to level 4 – 3 levels up. Same thing with Lvl 2 and 1.
I hope that’s clear. Sorry if my explanation is not very clear – in a rush xD.
dont worry sir stick i get your explanation
i finally defeated minerva, it took me like 15 minutes, got a close call when she did ultima twice and then judgement arrow. i dont know how the heck i survived that. and to top it off, i finally got cloud and cissneis dmw to 100%. all thats left is genesis. currently trying to get it to 100%.
im doing the 200 soldier thing mission with divine slayer, ziedrich, the ring with auto regen and genji shield.
Aah I see. Thats good Soldier! lol
Congratulations!!! You made me proud
.
Aaah, I know what you mean about the two Ultimas and Judgement Arrow. Happened to me. But mine was worse. I accidently pressed on ‘Curaga’ while she was doing her Ultima, which lead to Zack letting go of block and trying to cure, but it was just suicide and I died… BUT fortunately, I had raise on, and as soon as I used a Phoenix down, she did JA (Judgement Arrow). It was a very close call indeed.
And well done! Don’t you have Genji Armor? Why not use that for Auto-Regen? And are you doing the 200 Soldier mission for leveling up etc?
Is minerva really hard to defeat in hard mode???
i just got genji armor and soul of heike. soul of heike is like.. the craziest item ive ever seen. lol. with all the effects and the things it does.
Zeidrich, don’t know. Haven’t played Crisis Core in quite some time. And I still have quite sometime to get to minerva. But will let you know how she was/will be in Hard Mode.
@Skidoodle, well done
. Indeed it is. But I don’t like the Heike Soul for 1 reason. It has SP Master, which i hate. Don’t need to say anything more about it lol.
Personally I was very disappointed to not get to fight sephiroth!
grr
my flat mate and I both defeated minerva without costly punch. mind you it does take ages and alot of dodge rolls
what does sp master do?
and how do you get heike soul?
Matt, you do fight Sephiroth. Or do you mean with Sephiroth?
What was the point in defeating her without Costly Punch? Its just a waste of time in my opinion. The end line is, you defeated her, simple as. But, well done
.
—–
SP Master uses your SP to increase your attack damage and defense.
Heike Soul is an item you recieve once you get 100% on your missions, and has a lot of benefit, as follows:
o Break HP, MP, AP, and Damage Limit
o Add Sudden Death, Poison, Silence, Stop and Stun to ‘Fight’ command
(and adds them to some other physical techniques as well)
o Absorbs All Elements
o Auto-Potion
o Increases Drop Rates for enemies
o 100% successful steal
o Stolen and Dropped items are 100% rare
o Doubles Gil, Item/Materia from enemies
o Smart Consumer Level 1 (increases item effects)
o Double Magic
o Auto-Libra
o SP Master Level 1 (spend SP to increase damage done and reduce damage taken)
Combine that with Genji Helm and Genji Shield, plus one other thing of your choice and your sorted!

erm i wanna ask how am i able to aquire all missons? some of them are still ???. does that means i have to restart?
Quincy man!
Play the game, you unlock some missions from completing some missions. Other missions are unlocked through out stages in the game. Also, there are a few hidden missions, which are the Wutai Spies.
Where abouts in the game are you though? that’s the main factor.
