How to Break the Damage Limit in Crisis Core Reunion

Learn how to break the damage limit in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion! Discover the Brutal Accessory, Buster Sword Proficiency, and Genji Gloves to deal 99,999 damage.

Hey there! So you're looking to absolutely shatter the damage cap in Crisis Core: Reunion and dish out some serious hurt, huh? It's totally doable, and honestly, it makes the game a lot more fun when you're not hitting that 9999 limit all the time. You've got a few ways to do it, and I'll walk you through each one.

First off, the most direct way is by snagging the Brutal accessory. This bad boy literally just sets your damage limit to 99,999. Pretty sweet, right? The catch is, it's locked behind a bunch of missions.

Where to Get the Brutal Accessory

To get your hands on the Brutal accessory, you'll need to dive deep into the mission list. Specifically, you're aiming for the 'Seeking Priceless Items' category, and then you'll need to clear every single mission in the 'Contacts of P' sub-category, which is M7-4. That's where the Brutal accessory is waiting for you.

How to Unlock M7-4-6

Getting to those M7-4 missions isn't exactly a straight shot. You'll need to progress through a few mission chains first. Here's the rundown:

1. First, you gotta reach Chapter 4 and find that initial Save Point. This unlocks the 'Precious Things' sub-category of missions (M7-2).
2. Once that's unlocked, you need to complete all the missions in that sub-category (M7-2-1 through M7-2-6). Knocking these out will unlock the next set.
3. Next up is the 'ESP Development Project' sub-category (M7-3-1 through M7-3-6). You guessed it – clear all of these to unlock the next one.
4. Finally, you'll unlock the 'Contacts from P' sub-category (M7-4-1 through M7-4-6). Power through all of these, and you'll finally get your hands on the Brutal accessory!

How to Defeat the Wyerd

The final mission in the M7-4 chain pits you against the Wyerd. This giant beast can feel almost impossible, and honestly, magic isn't your best bet here. Your first priority should be taking out the Sahagin Chiefs that hang around it. If you've got good HP and some healing Materia, using Darkness Materia can actually pierce through the Wyerd's defenses, but don't leave yourself too vulnerable.

Keep an eye out for the Wyerd's signature move, Gaia's Wrath. It stomps the ground twice, and if you're too close, it'll wreck your HP. As soon as you see that attack name pop up, get as far away as you can. Once you finally take down the Wyerd, you'll be rewarded with that sweet, sweet Brutal Accessory.

Using the Buster Sword’s Battle Stance

Alright, another way to bypass the damage limit comes a bit later, around Chapter 6, when you get the Buster Sword and unlock Buster Sword Proficiency. This is a bit of a grind, but if you stick with it and manage to level up your Buster Sword Proficiency to 15%, you'll be able to break the damage limit just by using attacks and Materia while in Battle Stance. No accessory needed!

Using the Genji Gloves

And for the last method, we've got the Genji Gloves. These are another powerful accessory that lets you break the damage limit. To get them, you'll need to keep pushing through the M9 series of missions until you unlock M9-6-4, which is a Rank 10 Mission. When you start this mission, just take a left at the very first intersection. You'll find a chest at the end of that path containing the Genji Gloves. Just a heads-up, you'll need to successfully clear the mission to keep the gloves after you get them.
