I've designed this FAQ to allow players to quickly find out what combination
of materials will net them the absolute best gear in the easiest fashion
possible. It is by no means a guide to tell you where to get the materials
simply what is required so you don't waste hard to steal or rare materials
on something you'll never use.
Simply put - this guide tells you WHAT you need, and provides some other
brief information about the weapons. Other than that - I may make a
materials/steal guide once I play through the game a few more times
as I keep finding places and items I've missed the first three times through.
So without further delay...on with the guiiiiiiddddeee! Oh and the guide WILL
contain a few MINOR spoilers - nothing relating to the story, but just how
to get certain...things.
===============================================================================
222 - MATERIAL LIST INTRODUCTION
===============================================================================
There are 40 different materials in CCoD that Hector can get by either getting
them as drops from monsters, finding them laying around, or by nicking them
from unsuspecting bosses and creatures. All these materials fall into several
categories - the categories themselves have no real purpose but to determine
the base graphic the game uses to represent the material in the list.
While the categories I heap them into may not be accurate, remember they're
more like guidelines ;) Also the text after each one IS directly from the
game, spelling/grammar errors included.
Keep in mind that again, these are grouped by graphics not by what the
flavor text reads.
-=COMPOSITE=-
Ceramics: Lighter and More resistant to heat than metallic materials. A light,
white color.
Damascus Steel: A beautiful layered selection of metals expertly combined.
Hard and resistant, it never rusts.
Carbon Steel: The base for amazingly tough steel. Very precious, it makes
great weaponry or armor.
Adamantine: A mythical metal said to be the hardest in existence. Amazing that
it actually exists in raw form.
-=MATTER=-
Phlogiston: Hardened "warmth" collected from a variety of objects; gives off
natural heat in its pure form.
Ether: Said to make up a large part of the universe, but further details remain
unknown.
Dark Matter: Evil, dark matter that lingers in space. Must be handled extremely
carefully.
Miracle Egg: No one knows what will be born from this egg. Looks as though it
could suck you right in.
-=METAL=-
Devil Iron: Ore that glows blue. Has very strong magical powers.
Aluminum: A very light metal used by some alchemists, but mostly unknown. Makes
very light armor.
Bronze: Deep bluish bronze. Pretty common as a material and not that strong,
but has many uses.
Orichalcum: The ultimate metal, created on a phantom continent. Shines with a
red light.
-=GEM=-
Dragon Scale: Although not actually taken from a dragon, so hard and flameproof
that it may as well have been.
Aquamarine: A blue ore as clear an deeo as the sea. Appears moist to the touch.
Jade: Rarely used to make weapons, but... maybe...?
Frenzy of Wind: A bright, fresh green ore. You can hear the wind if you hold
it close to your ear.
-=BLOOD=-
Vampire Blood: A pure red jewel, created from drops of blood from those killed
by Dracula. Mark of a demonic king.
Holy Man's Vein: The blood of a high-ranking holy man solidified by magic.
Filled with the holy power to crush evil.
Knight's Vein: The blood of a great knight solidified by magic. It's
burning-hot red, too hot to hold for long.
Devil's Vein: The blood of many devils, solidified by magic. Black and sickly,
don't look at it for too long.
-=STEEL=-
White Steel: White steel, easy to come by and cheap to buy. Quite weak when
used along, but easy to work with.
Steel: Regular Steel. Easy to find but brittle and hard to shape. Used more
for weapons than armor.
Indigo Steel: Fairly easy to find, bright indigo in color and pretty heavy.
Melts at high temperatures.
Red Steel: Red Steel, made from solidified magma. Hard, good for armor and
non-edged weapons.
-=ARTIFACT=-
Beelzebub's Seal: The spirit body of Beelzebub, sealed in amber.
Overflowing with phantom energy.
Death's Pulse: A drum beat from the black depths; merely holding it sends
shivers down your spine.
Sun Tears: The innocence of the shining sun captured in amber. Will shine
brightly for eternity.
Ceremonial Tool: An amber artifact used in ancient rituals. An ancient
weapon is said to be made from this.
-=MEMORY=-
Immortal Fragment: A piece of eternity itself. Releases endless amounts of
energy. Really shouldn't exist, to be honest.
Forgotten Memory: Has existed since the creation of the Earth. Used to make
weapons, but almost impossible to work with.
Ancient Memory: A stone fragment with ancient memories engraved on it.
Used for primitive weapons.
Wild Memory: A strange stone fragment with ancient memories carved on it.
Used for simple weapons.
-=CRYSTAL=-
Angel Halo: Its name from its shape and shine. Has strong holy powers.
Purple Glitter: A crystal that glows a strange purple. Very rare, said
to fall from the sky.
Lightning Stone: A stone made when lightning strikes a crystal by chance.
Has massive energy, and shocking to touch.
Dark Crystal: A powerful material created with malevolent intent. Handle
with care, or beware...
-=MYSTICAL=-
Spirit of Fuji: A godly material from a distant mountain in the East.
Prized for its use in many different weapons.
Galtite: A heavy red metal in many layers. Said to draw out a human's
latent power, but who really knows?
Midas' Gold: Amazingly pure gold. Worth a great deal, but not the best
material to make things from.
Jet Black: A primitive material used since the dawn of time. Still used to
make many basic weapons.
Ah, here we are what you all came here for - the meat and potatoes of the guide
itself. Here you'll find all you need to know about making the games most
deadly, detrimental and demeaning weapons (to both you and the enemy ;P ).
So on with the show!

so after the second round-house kick, Hector will do a backhand
during that backhand hit Final to see the fireworks.

Effects: Think of a police baton. Now think of it throwing waves of force
in three quick punches. Now think of all the crime you won't want
to do now. Good boys and girls. One of the only ways to kill off
those annoying Blood Skeletons.
Spike Shield
Materials: Soft Leather Armor (1), Leather Helm (1), Bronze (1), Steel (1)
Atk: +40
Flavor Text: Originally for defense, it's so hard that it has also come to
be loved as a weapon.
#: 68
Effects: Take a swing with this shield and it winks into existance and smotes
anything in your way fairly well. Does heaps of damage, but its
a one swing affair - no combos here kiddies.
Bat
Materials: Club (1), Steel (1)
Atk: +20
Flavor Text: Supposedly the result of research into the ultimate weapon...but
absolutely zero class and style.
#: 69
Effects: Who said baseballs a slow sport? Well okay maybe it is, but then
again, they don't use spiked baseball bats do they? Use this
weapon and the H-Man himself will take a proper baseball swing and
knock em out the park. Too bad its horribly slow, even morseo than
the axes and maces above.
Electric Guitar
Materials: Tabar (1), Lightning Stone (1), Dark Crystal (1)
Atk: +25
Flavor Text: A ceremonial artifact with real soul. Some people can't play it,
and some just pretend to.
#: 70
Effects: Eat your heart out Slash. This is one cherry axe, an axe even a
Devil Forgemaster would be proud of. Hit attack and Hector whips
it out shouting "Let's Go!". You can hold down the first attack
to rock out while Hector headbangs. Hit Final to have him end the
'riff' hit attack twice and he starts playing it upright, then hit
Final to do a knee slide across the ground. Hit attack three times
to have him play it behind his head. Final here will have him smash
the guitar on the ground creating a minor earthquake. You can also
hit final while just holding the guitar ready to have him smash
whatevers in front of him. Nice thing is, the attack while playing
is rapid fire and dazes enemies, but you have to be looking in their
direction. Takes some getting used too. And just for fun, jump and
hit attack ;) Take note that while the guitar is out you can't
move around. You can change the direction you face though.
21 different hats for you to wear on your quest of quests. Some are uber
cool, others...well those ones belong in the Special group, but that was
apparently only reserved for weapons. Nevertheless here they are. Helmets
and Armor have their own numbers, both start a 1. No categories here either
kiddies.
