You can also get the Odin materia. Go to the basement and enter the room with coffins. Open the middle coffin to meet Vincent.

Yuffie: Find an enemy called Mysterious Ninja (Yuffie) in forests in the Eastern or Western Continents and defeat her. Choose these options when she talks to you: 'Not interested,' '...petrified,' 'Wait a second!,' 'That's right,' 'let's hurry on.' Don't save at the save point.

Easy Items
You need W-item to do this: Use W-item in a battle and select the item you want to multiply. When you select the second item, select anyone and when you're about to select the character who'll use it, press the cancel button, and you will get one more of the item you first selected. Keep pressing the buttons for as many times as you like to get more. The maximum amount of a type of item you can get is 99.

Aeris: Go into a cave you can enter only through by crossing a river on the Eastern Continent. Talk to the sleeping man to find out how many times you've fought or escaped.

Knights of the Round: obtained from the northeast cave not located on the map. (gold chocobo needed.)

Contain: Find the white chocobo in Mideel and give it the Mimett Greens. Tickle it behind the ears for the contain materia.

Emerald Weapon Strategy

This one's a little hectic, so pay attention if you're going to defeat it. Note: You don't have to beat Emerald to beat the game, this is just a subquest. To fight Emerald, you must find a green robot swimming in the water, and ram into it with the sub. Usually, you only get 20 minutes to destroy it, but you can clear the timer. Morph a Ghost Ship you can find in the underwater reactor to get a Guide Book. Take this to the Kalm Traveller in Kalm, and he will trade that for the Underwater materia.

What You'll Need:
Materia
  • Knights of the Round, (KOR) MASTERED, x1
  • HP Absorb, MASTERED, x1, (preferably x3)
  • Quadra Magic, MASTERED, x1, (preferably x3)
  • Gravity, MASTERED, x1, (preferably x3)
  • Enemy Skill with Angel Whisper, Big Guard, Magic Hammer, and White Wind, x3
  • Underwater, x1
  • Final Attack, MASTERED, x1, (preferably x3)
  • Phoenix, MASTERED, x1, (preferably x3)
  • W-Summon, MASTERED, x1, (preferably x3)
  • Mime, MASTERED, x3 (You only need to master 2)
  • W-Item, x1 (You only need it to get more items)
  • HP Plus, MASTERED (Need enough to get 9999 HP per character)
  • *Bahamut ZERO, MASTERED, x1, (preferably x3)
  • Any other materia you want to master
Items
Note: These items are optional, but if you bring them, you don't need to use so much MP.
  • Megalixir, x99
  • Turbo Ether, x99
  • X-Potion, x99
  • Elixir, x99
Weapons
These are just the weapons I used for the specific characters, if you prefer to use other characters, use their ultimate weapons.
  • Ultima Weapon (Cloud)
  • Death Penalty (Vincent)
  • Venus Gospel (Cid)
Armor
Choose any combinations of the armor you see.
  • Aegis Armlet
  • Mystile (Recommended)
  • Crystal Bangle
Accessories
  • Ribbon or Sprint Shoes, x3 (Morph a Master Tonberry to get a Ribbon)
*Optional

Preparation
To start, equip KOR with HP Absorb on a character. Equip Mime to everyone, and have the character with KOR take W-Summon. In case one member doesn't have enough MP, it's better to have everyone link Final Attack with Phoenix. Link Gravity with Quadra magic, which does 9999 damage x4. Equip W-Item if you want, and equip Underwater to clear the timer. For the extra materia you want to master, make sure they are equipped on the armor instead of the weapons, or they won't receive AP. Do NOT equip Counter Attack. Now you're ready to roll.
Battle
Start off with Big Guard to protect yourselves. Use the Triangle button to swap between characters, and use KOR, even if you have taken damage from Emerald. After the attack, you will absorb HP. Have other characters mime the KOR, and use Demi 3 to inflict damage faster. If Emerald uses Aire Tam Storm, it hits all characters for 9999 damage, so if you had Final Attack with Phoenix, it will revive you. Use the items to get more MP, and Angel Whisper to revive one ally. Use Bahamut ZERO to inflict 9999 damage with W-summon, if you want. If you use KOR 12 times, each knight dealing 9999 damage, you'll defeat Emerald, and receive the Earth Harp. With the Earth Harp, take it to the Kalm Traveller to receive Master magic, Master summon, Master command, Master independent, and Master linked materia.
