Materia List - Huge & Master Materia

HUGE & MASTER MATERIA

From Disc 2 onwards, you have the chance to find and collect four 'Huge Materia'. They can be gotten from these locations:

North Corel	Stop the train.
Fort Condor	Win the simulation battle.
Upper Junon	Go to the Underwater Reactor, get a Shinra submarine, sink the red submarine, and then find it underwater.
Rocket Town	Release it from the guard system inside the rocket.

If you fail any of these quests, you can always dig up the Huge Materia at Bone Village in Disc 3, or at least, I've been told this by numerous people.

PLEASE NOTE: The Huge Materia types are NOT determined by where you get them from, but the order you get them in! That order is:

Yellow Huge Materia	From North Corel.
Green Huge Materia	From Fort Condor.
Red Huge Materia	From the sunken Shinra submarine.
Blue Huge Materia	From Cid's Rocket.

So, if you fail the first three quests, you'll still get the 'from North Corel' Huge Materia when you explore Cid's Rocket. See what I mean?

While you have to get two of the Huge Materia in order to make the game progress during Disc 2, you don't need to collect all four of them. However, you can get the powerful 'Master Materia' from the Huge Materia, as well as the strongest Bahamut summon materia, 'Bahamut ZERO', so it's advisable that you try to find them all. You can receive the following materia from each Huge Materia:

NAME	DESCRIPTION	PRE-REQUISITES
Master Magic	Cast any magic spell.	Huge Green materia and a 'master' level for all 21 magic materia. Note that you can't get this materia until Disc 3 as not all the Magic materia are obtainable in Disc 2.
Master Command	Use most commands.	Huge Yellow materia and a 'master' level for seven command materia (see below).
Master Summon	Use all summon spells.	Huge Red materia and a 'master' level for all 16 summon materia.
Bahamut Form Zero	A summon materia.	Huge Blue materia and the Bahamut and Neo Bahamut summon materia orbs.

Once you've fulfilled the prerequisites to get a certain master materia, simply return to Bugenhagen's observatory in Cosmo Canyon and touch the correct Huge Materia (I hope you have the Huge Materia on you/have already taken it to the observatory in Cosmo Canyon beforehand!) Pick the first option and the screen will glow; pick the top option to get your master materia or the bottom option if you want to get that particular master materia later. You do have to have all the mastered materia on hand, but it doesn't matter whether they're equipped or not.

If you're trying to get Bahamut ZERO, then all you have to do is touch the huge blue materia and you'll automatically receive it after choosing the first option; you have to get this summon spell before you can receive the Master Summon materia (don't forget that you need Bahamut and Neo Bahamut, too).

There's good news and bad news, though:

All of the Master materia do not have level stars, so you can't simply 'master' them and get a second Master Materia. Wearing one doesn't effect your statistics, either (so all of you who were hoping for a 'MAX MP +80%' or something like that will be disappointed!)

When you receive a Master materia, you lose all the materia that you mastered. This means that not only will you be left with a bunch of low-level materia (since you get another materia of the same type when you master it, remember?), but you'll have to master each of them if you want to get a second Master materia of that type. The good news is that if you have two mastered orbs of the same type (say, two Fires and you're trying to get the Master Magic materia), you'll only lose one and keep the other. So, if you have two mastered Kjata materia and you get a Master Summon materia and want another one, you'll only have to level-up 15 orbs instead of 16 since one is already mastered.

Individual notes on the Master materia:

If you affix a combination materia like All or Random Magic Strike to the Master Magic orb, it will affect all the spells! However, not all combination materia work with each spell.

When you master a Summon materia, you can call a particular summoned beast five times. With the Master Summon materia equipped, you can summon any beast an infinite number of times (providing you have the MP for it)! Like the Master Magic materia, Combination materia attached to this orb will affect all summon spells.

You only have to master the Steal, Sense, Throw, Morph, Deathblow, Manipulate and Mime materia orbs in order to get the Master Command materia. This may sound good, but then again, all you get are the above abilities of those materia: this orb won't let you use other commands like Flash, W-Item, Enemy Skill, or Slash All, for example (but you can equip these seperately, if you like).

And of course, there are no Master Support or Master Independant Materia :)
