In Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII there is an especially difficult boss called Minerva who you can fight. She is the goddess of the world and has 10 million HP as well as debilitating attack strength. Your reward for defeating Minerva is the Divine Slayer which increases your HP, MP and AP by +100%, increases all your stats +50, breaks the HP, MP and AP limits and also gives Auto-Libra. If you cleared all Missions (and 9-6-6 is the hardest), you'll receive the Heike Soul accessory. Also note that you can downgrade materia which allows the transfer of stat bonuses between materia, particularly from higher ranking materia to lower ranking materia.

DMW Reel
]
1. This is the slot machine-like apparatus in the upper left corner of the screen. It works randomly and at certain intervals, will spin and grant you specific abilities such as attack boosts and magic boosts.
2. When 777 comes up on the reel, Zack gains a level (this will always happen when you gain enough XP to level. This is the only circumstance under which the player can impact the outcome of the DMW reel.)
3. Certain character and number combinations will allow Zack to perform overdrive attacks.
4. As you meet them, new characters will be added to the DMW reel.
5. There are no buttons to press or combinations to shoot for; the DMW reel operates almost completely independently of the player. Getting a good combination on it is simply a matter of luck.
Chapter 1: Intro
YouTube: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Episode 1 Pt.1 (Time: 10:31)
1. Enjoy the cinematic.
2. Take on the Wutai soldiers. They're weak, so get used to the controls and the battle system if you aren't already.
3. Watch the cutscene.
4. Kill the Behemoth. Like the Wutai soldiers, it's easy.
5. Tip: Get behind the Behemoth and stay away from the tail. It can dodged, but doesn't hit all that hard. Use Cure or a Potion from your inventory if you get low on HP.
6. Watch the cutscene with Sephiroth.
Wutai Fortress: Interior
YouTube: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Episode 1 Pt.4 (Time: 10:04)
1. Take your phone call. Your objective is to eliminate as many enemies as you can before you head to the big enemy. Eliminating all of them is relatively easy and rewarding.
2. Head left and grab the silver chest at the end of the hall.
3. Hang a right and follow the path until you get shot at. Chase the soldiers for a fight.
4. Choose the "Charge!" option and the enemies will run away. Chase after them and defeat them.
5. Examine the trap door (the section of wall with the paper talismans on it) to trigger another fight.
6. Go through the doorway and grab the chest.
7. Continue down the path and use the chest to trigger another ambush.
8. Keep going until you find a chest.
9. Grab the loot and continue until you get shot at.
10. Choose the "Charge!" option and the enemies will run away. Chase after them and waste them.
11. Continue on through to the arena area.

12. Note: You should have engaged in all of the fights, but if you didn't, go back through and look for trap doors you didn't open.
13. Head left or right once you see the arena. Both ways have a chest, a battle and lead to the Save point.
14. Tip: If you want some extra loot and combat experience, you can take one way, then the other.
15. Save and prep for a big fight.
16. Head into the arena.
Banola Village
YouTube: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Episode 2 Pt.1 (Time: 10:57)

3. Follow the path up.
4. Save when you can.
5. Watch the cutscene and get ready for a fight.

9. Watch the cutscene.
10. Grab the chest to your left, then move to the right past Tseng.

10. Watch the cutscene.
Chapter Seven: On the Beach
1. Kill the Genesis copies and watch the cutscene. Yes, you have an umbrella and no armor, but you'll be fine. You're THAT good.
Nibelheim: House
YouTube: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Episode 7 Pt.2 (Time: 10:12)
1. Look for the locked safe in the northwest corner.
2. Look around near the safe for a list. This tells you what you need to look for. Each level has at least one room with a locked door where you must look through the keyhole and count certain objects.
3. Go to the top floor and find the room with the books. Count the books that are not on the shelf.
4. Look for another room on the top floor with cans and apples. Count both and add them together.
5. Go to the bottom floor and look for a room with pumpkins hovering in the air. Count the pumpkins.
6. Look for another room on the bottom floor with chairs. Count them.
7. Input the numbers into the safe and enjoy the loot.
