I'm workin' my way trough the Temple of the Ancient right now. And you know, there was something that surprised me pretty much. This temple, containing many amazing artifacts, also of course has an amazing weapon for Cloud. So, what did the ingenious Ancients think was a good weapon?
Nail Bat.
Yes! It's not just a bat, it's a bat with a nail in it! Wow!
Hell, that sort of weapon belongs in Earthbound if ya ask me.
rusty nails with tetanus would scare me so maybe thats what the ancients were thinking. or just to see cloud swinging a cheap looking wooden bat with bent rusty nails sticking out of it after winning a battle was funny to them too. i know i cracked up.
Every character in FFVII has a joke weapon, and the Temple of the Ancients is where most of them are found, including Bullet's Rocket Punch, Tifa's Work Glove, Cait Sith's Trumpet Shell, and Vincent's Silver Rifle. Good times.
Doesn't Vincent also have a water gun somewhere?
That's the Silver Rifle. It's neither silver nor a rifle.
and Cid gets a Mop, and Red XIII gets a Hairpin and Aeris gets a Parasol and.... well, Yuffie's Pinwheel looks like a joke, but it has materia slots, whereas all the other ones named, to my knowledge, do NOT have materia slots.
Yuffie's joke weapon is the Super Ball.
Cid's Mop ownz you all:p.
Yeah, joke weapon the nailbat was, and the Temple of the Acients is just a wacked place.
Damn those Ancients knew their stuff. They must've had a team of crack scientists working round the clock. They created great things such as the Black Materia and a strange machine that drops boulders with cavities for Cloud to hide under, a weird clock that takes people to random places that aren't geographically possible (most likely because they bent space.)
Then there was the Nail Bat.
where in the temple of the ancients do you find cid's mop? i never manage to find it and end up digging it up at bone village :mad:
Cid's Trident is in the Temple, but not the Mop. You can buy it in Junon during Disc 2 in addition to digging it up at Bone Village.
The mop is the greatest weapon ever! The first time i finished the game i killed jenova using it roflmao. its so funny watching him wash jenova, heh.
um, where do you get the super ball?Quote:

The mop and nail bat were two of the best weapons I had for a while. I remember wondering why they were better than the Ultimate Big Shiney Wonder sword and such...
There are six events at Fort Condor in which you can defend the place from enemy troops during Disc 1. The reward for each event is unique, and the event that occurs depends on how much of the story has advanced. So, to play in all six, you'd have to check back often, which is difficult if only because Fort Condor's probably the last thing on your mind as you travel through Cosmo Canyon and Nibelheim and such.
The Super Ball is the reward for Battle 4. So, when should you go back to the fort to trigger that one? Ehh, I forget. Just check in after every major plot event if you want it that badly.
uh...nice signature, Ryukishi :P
If they have no slots, then they are useless.
Except they have very high critical hit rates.
And very high attack power at that point in the game.
Yep yep yep! Nailbat and Silver Rifle I got there and used. I just equipped armor with a lot of materia slots. It balanced out. After all, Demon's Gate has 10,000 HP (WTF!) and a good Climhazzard from the Nailbat and a Deathblow materia using the Silver Rifle can whittle him down. That and Bahamut, Odin and Vincents Electric Frankenstien. (can't remember the name)
It's Death Gigas, but "Electric Frankenstein" is a million times cooler anyway.
Thanx (both for the correction and compliment)
They are kinda useful but already in Icicle area you get weapons with the same attack and slots
I never use weapons with no slots, if you use them, when is your materia going to grow ? Or you're on a loctaion where you are using Ice1 instead of Ice2 or Ice3. Cure or a summon is very important in this case ...
You can still put materia on your armor, you know.
Yeah but it won't be much...
Think you need more slots then those on that moment of the game to have some serious materia growing.
i am very careful to make sure my materia grow :) all throughout the first disk i've been using force stealer, wizard staff, motor drive, rune blade, etc. all the weapons that have double growth and now i have all the level3 spells and i'm not even at the temple of ancients yet :D
If I remember correctly, a while ago someone did a "what is the coolest weapon in any FF?" thread, and nailbat was one of the more popular ones. God knows it's my favorite. U H4V T3H T37NU$!!!!!!11 :thumb:
I like the Crystal Cross and the Conformer. :tongue:
