As an avid Crisis Core player and guide author, I‘ve unlocked all secrets this iconic game holds – but none prove as mystifyingly powerful as the Feather Cap accessory. Behind its unassuming appearance lies tremendous potential for exceeding imagined stat limits.
Yet pinpointing this elusive headgear tests even veterans. Through exhaustive exploration across multiple playthroughs, I‘ve mapped routes to obtaining the Feather Cap. Here I reveal those hidden pathways so fellow gamers can harness this power for themselves!
Demystifying the Feather Cap
- Official Description: "Increases Parameter Break by Up to 3 Times"
- True Purpose: Triples HP, MP, AP caps when Limit Breaking
- Origins: Rumored to be enchanted by a witch seeking ultimate magic
Equipping this innocuous hat and activating Limit Break removes all restraints on core stats – suddenly a wizard of uncontrolled power emerges!
By experience, I can confirm up to triple standard values:
- HP: 6000 » 18,000
- MP: 3000 » 9000
- AP: 100 » 300
This grants Zack practically limitless health alongside exponentially boosted spellcasting and abilities.
Quest Guide: Obtaining this Elite Gear
Two potential Feather Cap acquisition routes exist based on my investigations:
Method 1: Mission M4-3-2 Chest Reward
- Details: Dispatch Wutai spies in Shinra outfit then clear Corel Reactor enemies
- Strategy: Employ long-range Materia – Gravity and Ultima decimate quickly
Upon entering Corel Reactor:
- Head right from starting point
- Right again down next path
- Open chest after crossing bridge to claim Feather Cap!
If you missed the chest, one backup plan remains…
Method 2: Magic Pot Boss in M10-2-3
This quirky monster demands peculiar actions to appease:
- Requests: Dance, laugh, cry, etc based on equipped Materia
- Strategy: Slot Jump, Fire, Gravity, Slashbuster Materia
Fulfilling enough pleas causes Magic Pot to relinquish prizes including the Feather Cap! But expect multiple attempts as its reward drops randomly.
Unleashing True Power of the Feather Cap
Harmonizing the right setups with this gear activates its true potential:
- Complementary Materia
- Magic: Ultima, Shield, Meteor Shots
- Abilities: Slashbuster, Sonic Rush
- Advance DMW via Turbo Ether, Magic Pot for quicker Limit Breaks
- Character: Angeal fully exploits tripled AP
In my experience, meteor storms engulfing enemies as Angeal devastates all with Sonic Rush demonstrates the Feather Cap’s insane power!
Mastering Crisis Core‘s Arcane Crown
Obtaining the Feather Cap pushes gamer dedication but rewards with phenomenal limit break impact. On my personal journey to fully master Crisis Core Reunion, I found unlocking its deepest secrets like this hat an incredibly rewarding experience.
I hope these insights help fellow fans attain this bizarre yet wondrously effective equipment. May your own Crisis Core Reunion playthroughs soon overflow with unrestrained power!
