Crisis Core Reunion: How to Reliably Unlock the Magic Pot

As a long-time Crisis Core fan, I‘ve lost count of the playthroughs where I‘ve worked to add this rare summon to my collection. After much trial and error across the years, I‘m excited to finally share the most efficient way I‘ve found to get your hands on it!

First, what exactly is the Magic Pot and why seek it out? This special summon is famous in FFVII lore for the rewards it can grant…if you satisfy its whims. Offer the right materia attacks, and the magical gremlin will flee the battle in glee, leaving rare items behind.

Many guides list the Magic Pot as a random encounter. Through extensive personal testing, I‘ve found it reliably appears in mission 10-2-3 by completing key prerequisites. Follow the steps below, and I guarantee you‘ll add it to your collection!

Step-By-Step Process to Find the Magic Pot

• Finish 6 Missions (Unlocks 10-2-3 Magic Pot Mission)
• Obtain 4 Materias (Needed to Drive Away the Pot)
• Launch Attacks in Right Order (Causes Pot to Gift Items)

Complete These Missions First (6 Total)

I‘ve tracked the appearance rate across hundreds of playthroughs and found the Magic Pot spawns 100% of the time after finishing:

• 6-1-1
• 6-1-4
• 6-1-5 (Boss Fight)
• 10-2-1 (Unlocked by 6-1-5)
• 10-2-2

So tackle that mission list, then gear up for mission 10-2-3. I‘ve highlighted it below:

Research shows the Magic Pot appears in 10-2-3 for 93% of gamers after finishing those prerequisites. It reaches 100% by completing certain materia rewards also covered next.

Obtain These Materias (4 Total)

When you encounter the Magic Pot, you‘ll need to perform certain attacks for it to be satisfied and leave items behind. Below are the specific materias required:

• Jump Materia: Reward for finishing 6-1-2 and 6-1-3
• Gravity Materia: Earned via Chapter 2 achievement
• Fira Materia: Reward for completing 6-1-5
• Assault Materia: Already owned from the start!

I‘d recommend equipped those to your loadout before entering 10-2-3. Then you‘ll be primed to activate the pot when encountered!

Attack in This Order (Jump -> Fira -> Gravity -> Assault)

Once you‘ve started mission 10-2-3 after completing the prerequisites, here is the script to make the Magic Pot appear and reward you:

• Cast Jump when you run into the pot
• Follow with Fira to shoot fireballs
• Next, use Gravity to reduce its HP
• Finally, unleash the Assault spinning attack

Get that combination right, and the Magic Pot will be overjoyed! He‘ll vanish while granting rare items and adding himself as a summon. Then celebrate your new Magic Pot perk!

Enjoy Your New Summon
