This item is far more common in the English and EasyType versions of the game, being widely available and costing a paltry 100 gil instead of the original 5,000 gil price. Then again, all the individual status recovery items are removed in these versions, so they had to provide some viable way to cure status.

Extremely rare. Trade to the tail collector for the obscenely powerful Adaman Armor.

Stolen from Zeromus before using the Crystal (original Japanese version only). Probably does nothing. Most likely an Easter egg of sorts.

Rumor has it that possessing the item weakens his Big Bang attack, and perhaps that having more further reduces it. However, this seems to be nothing more than wishful thinking. I haven't yet tested it myself, but I'm more inclined to believe scattered reports of people testing it and finding no discernible difference than sites blindly repeating the rumor that it works. I have yet to find a single case of anyone claiming to have noticed any difference after actually testing the notion.

Why is it so widely believed, then? Perhaps because people want it to be true. Big Bang hurts, and anything to help endure it is desirable. Perhaps because it's plausible until actually put to the test. After all, Dark Matter is a unique item found nowhere else, so it would make sense for it to affect the battle somehow. I've even seen rationalizations for the supposed effect, such as that it's a sort of "power core" and that taking it weakens Zeromus. That doesn't make it true, though....
