Emerald and Ruby - do I have a chance?

[Goldenboko]

But the original summoner does

Chances are you can get the original summon (Again I got the summon in the first try and I was level 55 which= slow)if you don't a simple soft reset until you get it will fix that.

Where can you get Hero drinks? I believe you can't buy them anywhere.

chocobo racing and w-item glitch

[Jarvio]

Thanks for the advice all, I will give it a try.

What is this W-Item glitch you speak of?

And what exactly do Hero drinks do? This has always confused me.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

The W-Item glitch allows you to clone an item out of thin air. You must have atleast two of the item you want to duplicate. Select it once (with a target) via W-Item, select it again but cancel before selecting a target. Everytime you repeat the second-select/cancel you clone the second item

I think Hero drinks raise your stats most notably Atk (not permanently). A very useful item to have 99 of

My method to beat Emerald, and it should work for ruby too (i'll do it in steps)

1) Master Final Attack, KOTR (2), Phoenix/Life (3) (and mime if it requires it, i forget lol)

2) Underwater will be needed because KOTR takes aaaaages to sort itself out

3) Equip Cloud with KOTR=HP Absorb KOTR=MP Absorb Final Attack=Phoenix/Life

Equip the other two with Mime and Final Attack=Phoenix/Life

So when you go into battle KOTR their arses and Cloud will be instantly replenished, Mime, and your other two characters will be replenished too so you can stay almost constantly in full health and MP


BTW- did anyone notice if you equip Counter or Final Attack to Master Summon it will choose a summon at random? lol

[Mongotha]

I just mimed KOTR with W-Summon again and again for Emerald. He went down before he even got to attack. As for Ruby, I went in with only Cloud alive and let him attack me until he ran out of Skill points (I think it said, basically MP) then I went to town on him with Omnislash and mimed it. Took about a half hour.

[Jarvio]

Thanks for the advice everyone

I managed to beat Emerald!

I just used KOTR with HP Absorb and just kept miming it and eventually killed it.

So I'm glad I've finally beat it!

However, I'm still having problems with Ruby...

[Cerealki11er666]

All strategies mentioned beforehand work great, but it is possible to beat them without all that. I was able to beat Emerald and Ruby without having any of the special materia such as KOTR or Mime or anything along those lines. I just went insane using Cloud, Yuffie, and Cid and just kept hacking away using their best mulit-attack limit breaks. I was lucky and was able to defeat him with 3 seconds left on the timer. I didn't have Underwater materia either.

wow thats cool i had underwater mateira though o did u steal from ruby?

No I didn't steal from Ruby. As far as I know you can only get Yuffie's Rising Sun weapon right? So I didn't feel a need to get it.
