Hey guys!! I"ll show you how to defeat minerva in final fantasy crisis core psp If you don't know, Minerva is the hardest boss in the game and it's the toughest mission you will face in Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core. If you don't come prepared, you will become ground beef or simply kiss the floor in just a few seconds upon seeing her. Well, first and foremost, you need to have max stats in VIT and SPR so that your defense will be good. You can read a guide on how to gain max stats here. Here is my materia and item set-up: Costly Punch HP 999% Energy Spirit 100 Gil Toss Vit 100 Rebirth Flame Mag 80 Mug Vit 100 Curaga HP 999% Super Ribbon Ziedrich Genji Glove Genji Armor Since in the faqs, they say that she has 10million hitpoints, you need to hit her with costly punch at least 101 times (or 100 if you want the final blow be through your sword which might give it rust, wear and tear) So some tips :: Do not fight her unless you have max vit and spr ... else her spells will kill you instantly (99999 damage). With max SPR, her damage is down to half or 1/3. Always have reraise status. You will die if you don't have it. Judgement Arrow, her limit break, will erase the raise status so make sure you pop another phoenix feather on yourself. You can steal 99x phoenix feather from Minerva so you don't have an excuse of running out of them. Make sure that if Judgement arrow hits you, you are still alive because if you die, you die since the spell cancels the raise status (I learned this the hard way) You can dodge her spells. It just takes timing and getting hit a lot of times to learn when it will hit. Thanks!! Good luck beating the crap out of Minerva! ^_^ Enjoy!!
