Omega Weapon - Page 6

August 2, 2008, 8:39 AM

I managed to beat Omega on my last playthrough, but then again that was the only time I attempted it. I used Squall, Zell and Rinoa and just kept using Aura over and over haha.

Luckily I got Lionheart near the middle of the battle so that really helped.

YES, it's soo awesome I finally defeated Omega Weapon. It is very hard, and I wouldn't have been able to do it without the Defend, Revive and Recover cammand abilities. But man did it feel good knowing I beat the most powerful boss in FF8. I really love this game apart from FF7 which is still my favorite. This one will probably always be my second most favorite of all time. BTW always have one member use Defend so if he uses Terra Break you'll be able to survive.

Finally beat him for the first time today. Simple low hp then holy war strategy with Zell, Squall & Irvine. Gilgamesh made a delightful appearance in the middle of the fight wih excalipoor, thanks.....

I beat omega when my characters were in the 90s, with squall being 99. All i did was keep aura up on squall, zell and irvine. it took me 3 or 4 lionheart limit breaks from squall to kill him, but i got him down eventually. Good luck to anyone whos going to fight him! it's a long long fight if u dont do it right

Any level.
If you use the right magic he can't hit you. You win.
Aura
Renoa's limit the one that makes all party members invincible.
Easy.

Here’s the tactic that I incorporated in order to defeat the big lad. First of all, I used one of those portable-save crystals as a precaution just before the fight in case I died fighting him. Second, most of my characters were completely maxed-out at level 100, I then casted Aura on my characters and kept on hammering the triangle button trying to get as many of Squall’s awesome LionHeart limit breaks in as I could. Zell’s limit-break came in great-use as well. Then, to finish the big lad off I used Rhino’s kamikaze ability, inducing a sickening 50,000 HP points in one single blow! “BOOM!” That was the sound of the impact after Rhino sacrificed her own life and ran head-first into Omega’s stomach. Unstoppable.

*blink* first theres no such thingema as a *portable save crystal* second you would of been dead before most of that would of happened, mainly cos of lv5 death.

anyhow i killed the boss and my minimum levels. hes actually easier than the first 3 bosses, just cos you have no junctions = not good.

now then, you need an angel wing rinoa for this (pm me if you want details of this setup(can also use an invincible moon rinoa but i couldnt have that as id already learned everything else :/) a squall who is your healer and cerberus(at 1000 friendship) caller, and zell who is you limit spammer.

first move:
-squall takes initiative, cerberus gets called as zell has aura ready on the magic list, rinoa stays as she is.
-cast triple aura
-rinoa uses angel wing
-O.W uses lv5 death, noone dies.

2nd move
-squall triple meltdowns
-rinoa uses meteor (note this is the only 'enemy effecting' magic in her inventory) for around 3000-4000 per hit.
-zell uses limit 1000-3000 per hit (can get 45 hits in in a long duel)

3rd move
-squall uses triple protect
-rinoa uses meteor
-zell limits

now repeat healing and re-stocking your magics when needed and it goes down in no time

Holy wars...heroes...if you don't have those items, Rinoa's invincible moon. I was lucky enough to get it nearly every time.

So yea, play loadsa cards. XD

And then watch the carnage.

On him, naturally.
