Best Items You Can Steal in Crisis Core

Discover the best items to steal in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, including powerful accessories and materia. Learn enemy locations and mission details.

In Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, the Steal and Mug Materia allow you to pilfer items from enemies during combat. Stealing attempts to take an item, while Mugging does the same and inflicts physical damage. Success is not guaranteed, but equipping Brigand's Gloves ensures a successful steal attempt. Each enemy has a common and a rare stealable item. To increase the chances of obtaining the rare item, equip Mog's Amulet. Once an item is stolen from an enemy, it cannot be stolen again, though an enemy can drop an item and have another stolen from it in the same encounter.

The following table lists some of the most valuable items obtainable through stealing, along with the enemies that carry them, their rarity, and the missions where they can be found. Many of these are high-end accessories, materia, or fusion items, often found in challenging missions guarded by formidable enemies. However, some can be accessed relatively early in the game, even in 9-star and 10-star missions, though waiting until around Chapter 4 might provide a more advantageous setup.

Adaman Bangle

The Adaman Bangle is a crucial accessory that breaks the HP limit, allowing you to reach 99,999 HP. This is essential for tackling high-difficulty missions where 9,999 HP is insufficient, even with maxed VIT and SPR stats. While Mission 9-3-3 offers a late-game opportunity to steal one from a Grandpanzer, an Adaman Bangle can also be found earlier as a reward for clearing Mission 7-3-6 or in a chest in Mission 9-2-3.

Adamantite

Adamantite is a fusion item that adds VIT+1 when used in Materia Fusion. You can steal it as a common item from the Grandpanzer in Mission 9-3-3, where it also drops the Adaman Bangle. The Goliath in Mission 9-6-5 can also be robbed for Adamantite, potentially yielding x2 or x4 more, making it a prime source for this fusion material.

Brutal

The Brutal accessory is another essential item that breaks the damage limit, enabling you to deal up to 99,999 damage per hit. This is vital when enemies possess six-digit HP totals. You can steal a Brutal from the Crazy Sword enemy in Missions 3-5-6, 7-6-4, or 9-4-1. However, it's often obtained earlier as a reward for completing Mission 7-4-6.

Costly Punch

The Costly Punch materia ensures you deal maximum damage to most enemies most of the time, though its full potential is realized after breaking the damage limit. You can steal this materia from Mako Ifrit in Mission 9-5-1. Alternatively, you can acquire Goblin Punch Materia earlier and upgrade it to Costly Punch.
