Question about Materia Achievements

[Shoggoth25]

I'm at a point in FFVII where I've mastered multiple Materia and yet the Steam Achievement hasn't unlocked...I feel like I might be missing something though: Am I meant to master the Materia that I get when I get the message, "_____ was born"? I've unlocked other achievements since mastering my first materia...

Then there's the question of the Master All Materia achievement...Does this mean I must master literally every Materia I come across or just one of each type? For example, do I need to master all 4 Enemy Skill Materia or would getting all Enemy Skills in one of the four be suffecient?

o.o master materia is basicly master each set.
magic, summons. once complete , u are able to make/get master materia for the type.
which may take some time but once u have it its so worth it. and you only need master 1 fire 1 ice and so on. not 4x same thing

materia sets incase confused are based by the types.
magic = magic master
summon = summon master

those are the two that have master materia all others dont i think.

You forgot Master Command which is mastering all Command materias except Enemy Skill.

Also to get a Master Materia you need to get all Huge Materia as you need to interact with the specific Huge Materia to get the Master Materia and I can't remember if it prompts you, but upon gaining a Master Materia you lose every single mastered materia of that type.

For example you go up to the Green/Magic Huge Materia and use it to gain a Master Magic you will then lose every single Magic materia you mastered.

Basically, you need every single type of materia in the game mastered as well as a complete Enemy Skill, Underwater (this doesn't need to be mastered since it already is 'mastered'), and all 3 Master Materias in your inventory.

To save up on massive grinding just beat Emerald Weapon for it's Earth Harp, then trade it to the man in Kalm to get all 3 Master Materia.

I don't have the achievement yet, but from what I read in the discussions you only need 1 complete Enemy Skill and after you double checked you got every materia mastered you may have to go and beat 1 random battle for the achievement to pop, I've also heard that you also may have to 'Master' Enemy Skill last due to a bug.

Refer to this guide if you're still unsure.

nice i was looking at that guide a few times. and true command materia i did froget about.
which i was just naming the ones that popped up in my head.
which should add the big materia are limited time so do becareful not to miss out.
and bahamut final is gained by fusing them at one of the big materia.
which i do indeed think u lose the master versions as u said.

I assume you mean Bahamut Zero, but you don't need to fuse anything, all you need to do is get all 3 Huge Materia as well as have Bahamut and Neo Bahamut in your inventory, then interact with the Blue Huge Materia.
