3.2 Materia
***********************
Phoenix (Summon) Materia
- The first Wonder of Nibelheim, Chapter 9. Speak to the boy standing outside
of his house to start the Wonders quest. He'll tell you about the first
wonder, at this point go inspect the water tower, you'll find the Phoenix
Materia, and it's all yours.
- Make sure to obtain this the first time you enter Nibelheim, certain events
unfold that ensure you won't get another chance to obtain it in this game.
- To clarify, Summon materia is NOT carried over in New Game+, you'll have to
obtain this the hard (re: incredibly easy, just late game) way every time.
DMW Limit Materia
- Meteor Shots, Lucky Stars, Octaslash, Rush Assault, Air Strike, Healing Wave
are all DMW materia that can only be obtained from ONE place in this game, and
that is from the Research Dept. QMC+ Shop, which is unlocked when you find the
address in a chest in Gongaga in Chapter 10.
- These materia, like all non-summon materia, are carried over in New Game+.

Octaslash materia especially is a tough run, because
it helps greatly to allow Octaslash to activate in

Shield.

unlocked before the end of Chapter 8 becomes
permanently unavailable.

3.4 ITEMS
******************
Genji Helm - Not missable, but you should note that you can only buy this from
Network Shop Shade ONCE. You can buy as many as you like, but
once you make that first purchase you can buy no more until a
subsequent playthrough.
*Grants No Ap/Mp Cost, Auto Libra
Genji Armor - Yes, this one is permanently missable. To obtain this you must
unlock all DMW characters and bring their % up to 100 by viewing
every scene for every DMW character. You miss this if you don't
pick up the Phoenix Materia in Nibelheim.
*Break Hp Limit, Auto Regen, Auto Endure
All of Aerith's flower wagon materials (for 2nd and 3rd wagons) can be missed
if not obtained before the end of chapter eight, but they also can't be used
after that point anyway. If enough people make a stink about it, I'll include
details on the flower wagons as well.

For Spoiler's sake I've not included the contents of the mail in this FAQ. You
can find the word-for-word entries of any and all mail in my Mail FAQ, which is
also hosted on GameFAQs.

3.5.1 - Friends (2)|
-------------------/
**I'll give you a hint (Cissnei)**
-Talk to Cissnei during the event in Junon. After the boss fight with the Gen.
Tank, there is a mini game in the next area. After this, ride the gondola up
one level (right near the entrance from the last area, can't miss it) to view a
scene with Cissnei. Shortly after you'll receive the mail from Cissnei "I'll
give you a hint."
-Receiving this mail is vital in allowing Zack to receive mail from the Zack
Club (3 letters).
**The last wonder (Wonder Hunter)**
-Once you arrive in Nibelheim you'll find a small boy standing outside of the
house closest to the town's entrance. Speak with him to take upon the Wonders
of Nibelheim sidequest.
-Instead of reposting information that I obtained elsewhere, I'll simply give
you the link to the FAQ I used. Absolute Steve does great work on his FAQs,
and this is no exception. Simply search for "Seven Wonders" and you'll be
brought to the part of his FAQ concerning this sidequest.
