so has any of you guys beat ultima wepon and get eden I'm having alot of diffilculties doing it if u guys beat it how did you?:D

<font face="arial narrow" size="-1" color="#B36479">Ultima Weapon is no pushover. This beast has 1-hit kills and powerful magic spells that attack the entire party simultaneously. You'll have to use every advantage you have in your arsenal to defeat it.

It helps to have the Revive ability on one of your characters. Make sure you have at least one character who can cast magic and has the Triple, Aura, Curaga and Meltdown spells in his/her inventory. Also, try to set everyone up so that they can revive fallen characters either with magic, abilities or items. If you can get Squall's Lionheart weapon, it will help out a lot as well.

Start the fight by casting Haste on everyone tp give yourself a speed advantage. The follow that up by summoning Doomtrain or casting Meltdown on Ultima Weapon to cut its defenses. Also, make sure you draw the Eden GF before you forget. You wouldn't want to miss obtaining the stringest GF in the game!

Cast Triple or use Cerberus so that a magic user can heal everyone at once. Follow this up by casting Aura on everyone if you can. By doing so, you can unload on the Boss with constant Limit Breaks. Keep the pressure up and Ultima Weapon should fall quickly.

Okay...um...just a note:

I am his cousin and I told him about that cause I have the Player's Guide...but he is STILL having trouble. I think what he meant to ask is that IF you beat him already, then he wants you to tell him EXACTLY how you beat him...but if you used the Player's Guide and you did EXACTLY what it told you to do and you beat it...then that's a different story! See I would help him..but he's farther than me in the game and I didn't defeat Bahamut...so please tell him how YOU beat it...not how the Player's Guide says it! Thank-you!

I just thought I would clear that up since I have the Player's Guide :D

Hasn't this been asked before? anyway to beat him just have hp 9999, use hp plus. Get str to 200+. Use the str. plus ability and junction a strong magic to str. can get wicked magics around the island closest to hell.

Just use meltdown on ultima, cast aura on your party, then use squalls and Zells limit, to finish the beast quickly.

All I do is, cast aura on Squall use Lionheart against it and I kill it, but the first time I did that I forgot to draw Eden.

if u think ultima is hard go fite omega. still aint killed him, grrr :mad:

<font face="arial narrow" size="-1">fflover2002: That's HOW I beat him, crap.

*makes a mental note to not help people again* :o

I wasn't trying to be mean...I was just saying that didn't work out okay? Thanx for the help everyone...I'm sure he'll get the hang of it!!

Oh and Rinoa....I'm sorry if you thought I was being mean about it...I should have told you that I had the Player's Guide

*cries in the corner*

Ultima is simple.
I junctioned 100 Ultima to Elem Def-J, etc. etc...So I absored all elemental attacks....keep lotsa aura stones, you can tool-ref for em; soon as you get into battle, aura stone Squall and Irvine, have Irvine use AP ammo; took me maybe 5 rounds. Oh yeah, and have Irivine or Zell equipped with Revive ability...btw, none of my chars were lvl 99. Squall was about 86, Irvine and Zell were about 20. lmao.
One tip is to take off all plus abilities, rare item abilities, doom, card, etc....that'll give you room for HP+80%, Str +60%, etc, etc, etc....you don't get xp from the battle, so there's not really a reason to have str plus equipped...anyway....

i beat him the sdame way i beat Omega, he wasnt that hard but his att that does 9999 is hard to recover from.

The easiest way to beat ultima weapon is to first have squall's lionheart sword, cast aura on squall, use meltdown on ultima weapon and use squall's limit break. I was lucky for him to use his limit break lionheart on the first turn and with one attack that ended the match. Hope everyone else is that lucky too!!
