How to level up all DMW`s to 100% easier.

How to get all DMWs to 100%

DMW character has a "progress" bar that will appear anywhere between 0% and 100%, depending on the character. You can check them from the menu.

DMWs are skippable - though skipping them does not impact it counting towards your DMW level.

For Sephiroth, Angeal, Tseng, Cloud, Cissnei, and Aerith, you must see six different 'memories' for each character.
For Genesis, you'll need to see just two memories.
For Summons and Chocobo Mode Characters, you'll only need to see their summon animation once to instantly jump to 100%.

You can get all DMWs 100% even in last chapter!

You can make DMWs appear easier with materias.

these materia can be found in shops later in the game.

shops:

Research Dept. QMC+: From a chest in Gongaga Village, Chapter 10. Missable. Sells the materia for Sephiroth, Angeal, Tseng, Cloud, Aerith, and Cissnei.
Net Shop Shade: From Mission 9-5-4; sells the Genesis DMW materia.
Bone Village: Unlocked via Mission 7-5-3. Sells the DMW summon materia.

And once you have grinded all DMWs to 100% you should get.


Achievement: DMW Master
Achieve 100% progress for all DMW.

To add to the comment by @SoundsInsane - an easy way to get Heavenly is to use Lucky Stars (Cissnei's DMW materia), enter mission 1-1-1, wait for Lucky Stars and use it, then end the mission. (Maybe obvious, maybe just obvious in hindsight...)

[THONIX]

@soundsinsane Sounds like a worth of try. But anyway you can just let if afk long as u want too. I got 100% just by afking over 10 hours :D

[SoundsInsane]

Found a Method that is pretty unheard of. but worked for me.
-Have Heavenly
-Mission 1-1-1
-DMW materia of choice
-Save/Reload your game (ive had it where i had nothing for 30mins straight)
-Now enter mission -> when you hit a "memories" -> if its not the Memory you need "Forfeit" (this cause a RNG rotation pattern) it will take around several Forfeits the memory you dont have will likely appear, or someone elses that you possibly dont have.

[THONIX]

@mocca I am pretty sure you should get sephiroth 100% at chapter 8 because you dont see sephiroth after that i guess.

[THONIX]

If you have reached chapter 10. I grinded all 100% myself in mission 1-1-1 with afking 10 hours :D + sephiroth materias. I still not sure which chapter you can get it 100% earliest.

[Mocca]

my sephiroth stops at 75%. everyone else has 100. does anyone else have the problem?

[THONIX]

Thanks for the feedback, i will look into that and update soon!

[RayXorn]

This is great thank you! I would love, if possible, info on when a DMV is possible to 100% as some memories are locked until later chapters.

[THONIX]

I will update some pictures later after I finish this game 100% myself. Also I will make some more tips for leveling DMW later. Enjoy!
