Master Materia

There are three seperate materias given to you by the kalm traveler when you defeat emerald weapon and recieve the earth harp. There are:

Command Master Materia: Gives you virtually all commands including another mime which does come in handy if you didnt use gameshark already to get more than one. Unfortantly it does not give you double cut, slash all or enemy skill but it gives you sence and throw item and gil and it is all mastered!

Magic master materia: from my experience this works great with the all materia. It has everything from ice 3, to cure 3, haste, ulitima... i found it annoying after maxing all that materia to beat emerald you get some materia which does it all for you. This is also a laugh to use in the battle square at gold saucer becuase all the status effects such as poison or toad you can just cure it as it has all magic spells in cluding transform and the poisona spells.

summon master materia: last one is the most annoying but the funniest too... if you didnt get the summons knights of the round or lost the chance to get bahamit zero or any other materia you can get it all here and it is all MAXED which means you can use it till well you cant anymore... it has all of them.. choco/mog, shiva, alexander thats it all of them... works great with the hpabsorb too and the damage should be higher than normal... but maybe thats bacause you grew levels after emerald...

so basically sephiroth is no a piece of of cake... for those who havent done this before i suggest beating emerald first... even though it is harder it does require as much stratagy.. all i did was use a few hp ups to make myself higher than its main attack which does about 7516 and also do the kinghts of the round hp asorb miming trick and dont forget keep your materia low for the aire ram storm attack which just looks so cool... if you have 9999 life a good idea is keep three materia because it does 1111 times each materia so that lets you do lucky 7's and it will proberly finish it alot faster than what i did...

anyway... yeah it gives yopu a chance to use the master materia against ruby and it is still a challenge because casting the spell stop doesnt work you have to paralize it not stop it :(

NOTE: the master materia DOESNT EFFECT YOUR HP! but it does effect mp either ! and using a counter magic or command isnot a very good idea.. because its completely random which is a pain.. sometimes you do poisona on yourself or stuff like that. but like i said it has its uses because ruby's tentacles do frog or petrify so you can just use the status moves on you masic master materia and be on your way :)
