How to Get Geo Impact in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep

Geo Impact slams the ground and hits everything around you. Decent enough on its own, but the reason you're probably here is what comes after it. It's the only sensible ingredient for Meteor, so it's a required stop on the way to one of Terra's best commands. It's Terra-only.

How to Meld Geo Impact (The Only Recipe)

One recipe, and it wants two of the same command:

Ingredient 1	Ingredient 2	Odds	Works for	Simulator Link
Brutal Blast	Brutal Blast	70%	Terra only	Try this combo

Note that you need two Brutal Blasts, not one. That doubles your shopping list, and at 70% it isn't guaranteed either, so pick up a spare pair while you're at it. Nothing worse than farming two of something and losing them to a failed meld.

Which Crystal Should You Use?

One recipe means the crystal is your only decision here.

Pulsing Crystal gives Second Chance. Take it if you don't have it. You're melding Geo Impact anyway on your way to Meteor, so picking up Second Chance during a step you were already taking is basically free.

The rest:

Shimmering gives Cure Boost
Fleeting gives Reload Boost
Wellspring gives Combo Plus
Soothing gives Defender
Hungry gives Treasure Magnet
Abounding gives Lucky Strike

This one matters more than usual: if Meteor is the plan, level Geo Impact all the way first. Melding it away early throws out the ability you just spent a crystal on. I've done this and it's annoying.

Commands That Use Geo Impact as an Ingredient

Just the one, and it's the whole point:

Meteor, from Geo Impact + Quake, Terra, 100%

That's why you'd build Geo Impact deliberately instead of tripping over it by accident. Geo Impact + Quake is the only guaranteed way to get Meteor. The alternatives are 10% rolls, so this is the path you want.

Building the Brutal Blasts First

Geo Impact needs two Brutal Blasts, and Brutal Blast is Terra-only with two recipes at 70% each:

Meld	Odds	Result
Stun Edge + Mine Shield	70%	Brutal Blast
Binding Strike + Mine Square	70%	Brutal Blast

Careful here: both pairs also give Quake at 30% instead of Brutal Blast. Since you need Quake for Meteor anyway, that is not wasted, but it does mean the number of melds you need is unpredictable. If you are going all the way to Meteor, you want at least three Brutal Blasts: two for Geo Impact and one for Quake.

Want to Test Your Melding Path?

The Command Melding Simulator lets you check the ability before you spend two Brutal Blasts finding out.

Geo Impact is a stepping stone, but it's a stepping stone worth doing properly. Two Brutal Blasts in, a Second Chance along the way, and a guaranteed route to Meteor waiting at the other end. Just remember to level it before you spend it.
