I would say 1-1-1 would be the best to grind DMW, because you don't need to use the DMW skills (at least for the characters) and they're a lot easier to clean up when you're done.
I want to thank you because your videos are the best! You’re super clear and take the time to explain where to get everything you need to complete the trophies or whatever the case is, you’re very thorough and make it understandable, you’re not like “for this you need this accessory, ok moving on” no, you go back and explain exactly where to get everything and that’s super appreciated. Really, thank you! Have a nice day!
If anyone still trying to grind for DMW Misson 1-1-4 :shinra 100 troops the last sergeant “sergeant major J is broken just stand away from him, he’ll only toss grenades and it ALWAYS miss. You can go afk, watch a movie, walk your dog. Hydrate. Zack will still be okay when you get back.
FYI for the Genji Shield, you can attempt this earlier in your run without the Octaslash materia (since its unlocked only much later). You will have to get lucky with the DMW though. Took me about 5 retries (I got super lucky!)
Something I found out, don’t execute the move the pot requests until he asks for it, I launched Octoslash too early and he disappeared saying disappointed, so I had to do it again. Very annoying.
One thing you should make sure of, before you go to get the Genji Shield, you need to have the Magic Pot Tricks DMW unlocked first (preferably in mission 10-1-3 where you fight the Master Tonberry for the Tonberry DMW as it's a bit more reasonable with it's requests) otherwise, you'll have to do this twice, because the first time you complete it's requests, it'll give you the DMW if you don't have it already.
just wondering is there a ribbon item in this game? i remember always getting one in other ff games to guard against many status effects. some enemies do death and i don't have anything in equipment to guard against that yet. i'm on chapter 9 at the moment.
I can't find this answer. Do you have to be so far in the main story for scenes to show up in the DMW? I'm at Ch. 7 with over 60 hours and Sephiroth is only 50%. Seems off for one of the very first you get.
I don't know if using the Aerith's limit break to make her say "Good luck" right after you said it was intentional or not, but it was good timing nonetheless
So I’m playing on hard mode and haven’t gotten the buster sword yet. I got the costly punch and have my attack at 255 but when I fight the magical pot and do the costly punch I’m still not doing 99,999 requirements any thoughts?
It's completely random. The only way to increase the odds of it appearing are to equip the Octoslash materia. Each level the materia gains, the higher the chances. It also stacks, so you can equip multiple Octoslash materia for even better odds.
Does anyone know if the trophy pops still if I get the genji equipment on separate saves? Have gotten the armor, glove and helmet at endgame and realized I have fused my gil toss and got no other steal/mug materias to fuse for gil toss. Is it possible I load up my previous save to get Genji shield specifically?
Are all flashbacks available since you get a character or you have to get to a specific chapter before seeing them all? I ask because, for example, I couldn't trigger a Cissnei flashback until chapter 4
Mainly just beat on him and dodge until he dies. If you have Costly Punch, Break Damage Limit, and Break HP Limit, you can boost up your HP and deal massive damage to it, potentially even one-shot it. If you don't have that stuff, you can also equip Zantetsuken materia to make it easier to summon Oden, who can one-shot it. Sadly, a lot of later bosses like this were given Gravity immunity in the Reunion remaster, that didn't have it in the original PSP version. Otherwise, you could just spam Gravity/Graviga to halve its health until you could finish it off.
Magic pot just runs away after a minute while I'm waiting for the DMW to roll Sephiroth, am I doing something wrong? I also have 3 octoslash materias equipped
I have 255 atk with sp turbo and when I hit the magic pot it only does 20k… why doesn’t it hit the 99k damage cap? I’m below my max hp and have genii glove as well. Only done the magic pot 2 times but both times it’s done substantially less than 99k
@@carlgomez1158 it took another 6 before I used graviga… 🤣 thank you for the reply though hope it helps someone having The same issue. I’m playing on hard mode does that make my hits weaker? Just thought all mobs had even more hp on hard
Is the materia that you're using to deal damage maxed? I had a weird moment where I was only dealing 20-30k, but then it did 99,999 the next attempt. Not exactly sure what controls that.
Lots of health helps, but it's tough at an early stage to make that happen. Run away from the bad breath and the ability where it rains poison. Far, far away. Pepper it with fire spells as it's casting them. If you can stay in its face otherwise, it will rely on its one physical attack, a head smash, which you can learn to avoid as it has a very long windup.
PLEASE HELP!!! I cant deal 99,999 to the magic pot using costly punch T-T idk what to do, i have delt 99,999 damage to other enemies before! BUT THE MAGIC POT WONT HURT, even though my damage started is maxed out at 255

I got luckly on my first try! Thank you!
Oh and i didnt use Octaslash i use the DMW and it roll lvl 4 Sepiroth. And i had Brutal.
Wow that's lucky! I could never get Octaslash/Sephiroth to come up when I needed it.

Oh that's interesting. It won't give both at the same time?
@@SweetJohnnyCage Nope, you'd have to do it two separate times to get both. But like I said, it's easier to get the DMW from the Tonberry mission.
@@AzureKyle gotcha. Good to know!
@@SweetJohnnyCage Glad to help out! (though a lot of my knowledge came from an old PSP guide I followed to help me Platinum the game lol)

I got divine slayer before the genji is it still worth getting?

Yes, don't worry about maxing everything out until the end. You can't even get Phoenix until you go to Nibelheim.
Leave your game running on mission 1-1-1 for a few hours and you’ll get it
I don't know if using the Aerith's limit break to make her say "Good luck" right after you said it was intentional or not, but it was good timing nonetheless
Hahah that was purely an accident, but that's funny.
I have helm , glove and shield only armour is missing will unlock it soon🔥
Can i get the mail completionist trophy on ng+? I guess i missed the reporter on chapter 5 and also Zacks fan club.
So I’m playing on hard mode and haven’t gotten the buster sword yet. I got the costly punch and have my attack at 255 but when I fight the magical pot and do the costly punch I’m still not doing 99,999 requirements any thoughts?
Costly Punch converts your max HP to damage so you need to have the potential for 99,999 HP in order to use it effectively.
Can you do a max stats guide. I like your guids.
Will the octoslash come up just randomly after doing using Gill toss and costly punch right after? What are the chances
It's completely random. The only way to increase the odds of it appearing are to equip the Octoslash materia. Each level the materia gains, the higher the chances. It also stacks, so you can equip multiple Octoslash materia for even better odds.

If you haven't gotten all the equipment before then yes the system doesn't care which save as long as you obtain every piece.
Does magic pot leave if you do nothing or wait too long for octaslash?
Yes. It flees from the battle and you have to find one again.
Are all flashbacks available since you get a character or you have to get to a specific chapter before seeing them all? I ask because, for example, I couldn't trigger a Cissnei flashback until chapter 4
You won't be able to trigger every single flashback until Chapter 14.
14?@@SweetJohnnyCage
Can you get both genesis memories prior to completing the game?. Being I am right before the final Genesis fight
Yep! I did the same thing.
Mission 4-4-4 how to did you defeat this boss?? Any weaknesses

You aren't doing anything wrong. It's a frustrating part of the game, but it's just what you have to do.

I cant deal 99,999 to the magic pot using costly punch T-T
idk what to do, i have delt 99,999 damage to other enemies before! BUT THE MAGIC POT WONT HURT, even though my damage started is maxed out at 255
Is the Costly Punch materia mastered?
I have the same issue. And my costly punch is mastered i dealt around 55k :(
Try use Hammer punch master (AP +90%)
Did you figure it out? I have High Jump and it won’t do 99,999 damage against the pot
Non of the genji sets are hard to get just time consuming
It took me 90 hours to get Genesis to 100%. Talk about some terrible RNG
It took 50 freaking hours to 100% the DMW. And, of course, Genesis was the one that I completed last. Seriously, fuck Genesis.
thats not the best setup tho....
Lmao maxed genesis before any of the others
Lucky duck!!
@@SweetJohnnyCage not really Tseng cess and cloud stuck at 90 lmao
Genesis was the second character I maxed out, Angeal was the first.
