Rare Materia Checklist

*UPDATE*
The guide is now chronological.

That means I have ordered each section based on how you progress through the game.

For example, the FIRST missable materia you will run into in the game is at the Chocobo Farm. You can use the chapters on the right as a guide to what comes up next.

******************************************************************************************
() – I have categorized the Materia in parenthesis by the location of
their prerequisite item, not the materia itself.

Please contact me with any questions or issues that you may have.

Choco/Mog - Say 'Wark!' to one of the Chocobo's at the ranch to get the Choco/Mog summon. This materia is available until you are able to breed your own chocobos, and the ranch is cleared -- which is sometime during the Huge materia quests.

*You can however respawn this materia. Once you capture a chocobo, it will appear in the farm. Talk to the chocobo and you will receive the materia.

Ifrit - After you defeat Jenova.

Ramuh - After you take the elevator up from Corel Prison, while you are waiting for your first race.

Added Effect

• Morph - Visible in the main staircase area. You need to walk around and climb the vines on the side to reach this materia.
  
• (Underwater) - For this, you need to find the Morph materia in the Temple of the Ancients. Then use Morph on a Ghost Ship, in the water tunnels at the Underwater Reactor in Junon. Take the item you receive to the Kalm Traveler, in the rightmost house inside Kalm.
  
• Bahamut – Gained from beating the Red Dragon
  
• Luck Plus

• MP Absorb – Found in item shop chest. Only found during the quest where Yuffie steals your materia.
  
• Leviathan – Rewarded for completing Yuffie’s final limit break quest.

MP Turbo
Neo Bahamut

Both of these materia are visible on your trip through the 'maze' towards Sephiroth.

(Steal as Well) – To get this materia, you first need to find the Leviathan Scales in this location. It is located in a chest on the far left prior to entering the submarine. Afterwards, take the item to Wutai and go into the cave at Da Chao. Use them on the flames on the bottom to find the materia.

W-Item – This lovely piece of materia is found on your first trip back to Midgar. Just before fighting the Turks, turn around and run all the back to the end of the tunnel. Continue running, and after awhile you will come across this materia, next to a save point.

*Alternatively, you are able to dig up this materia near the end of the game at the dig site if you miss it here.

This deserves a guide of its own, but here is my mini-guide:
To obtain Bahamut Zero, you need to collect all 4 Huge Materia. They are located in:

• Corel – Stop the train in 10 minutes.
  
• Fort Condor – Complete the final battle here as part of the main story.
  
• Junon Underwater Reactor – Defeat the Red Submarine
  
• Rocket Town – Inside the security device.

Afterwards, take all 4 to Bugenhagen in Cosmo Canyon.
