'''Photon Crystal''', commonly abbreviated as '''PC''', is a unique item which can be given to [[Dr. Montague]] or [[Sue]] in exchange for their services. When given to Montague he will add Hit% to weapons created from Enemy Parts. When given to Sue, you are allowed access to the enemy arenas in [[Black Paper's Dangerous Deal]] and [[Black Paper's Dangerous Deal 2]].

{{AddingHit}}
===Converting Enemy Parts===
You must complete these Episode 1 Side Story quests in order to convert Enemy parts:
 
* [[Battle Training]]
* [[Claiming a Stake]]
* [[Magnitude of Metal]]
* [[Secret Delivery]]
* [[Doc's Secret Plan]]
After completing these quests, start either [[Dr. Osto's Research]] or [[Unsealed Door]] and speak to Dr. Montague near the Principal's warp to convert your items.
 
Note that completing these quests will prevent you from selecting them again to convert other enemy weapons until you complete all other Side Story quests.
 
===Adding Hit to Enemy Weapons===
In the quest [[Claire's Deal 5]], you can speak to Dr. Montague and he will offer to add Hit% to your enemy weapons in exchange for your Photon Crystals. Enemy weapons with 0% will require 1 Photon Crystal and have a guaranteed chance of adding 10% Hit. Beyond this, however, the number of Photon Crystals required will continue to increase while the likelihood Hit% will be added decreases.
 
In addition, you must complete government quest [[9-5:The Chosen (1/2)]] after having triggered both cutscenes with Dr. Montague and speaking to him; once after clearing all enemies in the Crater room and the second just before the warp returning you to Pioneer 2.

Ultimate purest crystal Photon.
There is someone who needs this...

Tool icon.pngPhoton Crystal (commonly abbreviated "PC") is a rare tool that can be given to either Sue or Dr. Montague in exchange for their services.

Adding Hit to enemy weapons[edit | edit source]

It is possible to add Hit % to enemy weapons (and only enemy weapons) despite the attribute not being eligible for increase through Paganini's Exchange in Quest icon.pngGallon's Shop. To add hit % to enemy weapons, a character must speak with Dr. Montague in the episode 4 quest Quest icon.pngClaire's Deal 5 after unlocking the feature through a sidequest present in the government quest Quest icon.png9-5:The Chosen (1/2).

Once the sidequest is completed, speaking to Dr. Montague in Claire's Deal 5 with an enemy weapon in the inventory will have him offer to further enhance the weapon through a process requiring Tool icon.pngPhoton Crystals. This process involves giving Dr. Montague an increasing number of Photon Crystals (starting with one) for a decreasing percentage chance (starting at 100%) of adding 10% more Hit to the weapon in question each time, to a maximum of 50.

  • Proceed through the quest as normal until the large, circular crater room in Desert 1
  • In this room, all enemies must be defeated within five minutes of entering the room
  • If done successfully, a cutscene will play showing Dr. Montague appearing, who must be spoken to
  • Proceed to the end of the quest as normal, and speak to Dr. Montague a second time in the last room before heading back to Pioneer 2
