Tips on beating Emeral Weapon

[ForeverZeroUltima]

no, i didn't use any sources. Cloud and Tifa had ribbons and Cid had Tough Ring. i started the fight using Big Guard. Then if he kiillled anyone i just used AngelWhisper or Life2. And i used Hero Drinks to double-or triple Cid's attack power.

christ, then u must be at lv 99 and using a VERY good tactic to be fast enough to win...i commend u.

E.W. is easy! You dont even really need a strat. to beat him...I beat him about 4 times, but Ruby Weapon is really hard cuz he takes out 2 of your players

[aeris2001x2]

liquidswords, stop talking crap, u most definitly do need a strat to beat him, and i would imagine even with max stats u would need some tactics. ohh and does beating him four times mean anything? if u think u dont need tactics then u prob used lucky 7s.

ruby too needs strat but u only need one character too beat him. in fact i beat both emerald and ruby with solo cloud, and emerald is much harder then ruby imho. next your being saying "ffx Nemesis iseasy, u dont even need a strat to beat him, but omega weapon..."

[Ultima Shadow]

That depends... if you don't have KotR then Ruby is harder, and takes alot more time. And Emerald weapon is not that hard at all.

[aeris2001x2]

true there still not THAT hard, but they r hard. too be honest i have never beaten them without kor (expect lucky 7) and there is no real reason not to, its hardly a cheap way either. having kor at the time (i was lv 80) did not turn them from hard to easy. it turned them from impossible to very difficult. i wish i could fight them now with my 9x3 master materia but there alrwady dead

so for this idolt liquidswords to imply u could beat him by just bashing him with your weapons and nothing else is an incrediable insult.

[Ultima Shadow]

I never said KotR was cheap. But i never got gold chocobo= no KotR.
And yes, you can't just go bash him down if you'r not using some kind of superkillingeverythinginseveralhits strat.

[aeris2001x2]

i REALLY wish emeraldand ruby would re- spawn! and ozma! i beat them so early on that i cant test there true powers

[Ultima Shadow]

Yea, why is Nemesis the only super boss you can figth more than just one time?

[aeris2001x2]

whoops, dont forget the 30+ other super bosses in there with him. such a gold mine of variety. u can fight warmech again from ff1 and every super boss from X-2 except trema anda few others.

so WHY cant emerald and ruby appear as random encounters in the northern cave or sumthin.

maybe in afew years they should release a "battle of the gods" spin off super boss fan fodder game with all the current super bosses and a few new ones, like a tournment or sumthin. hope u dont get drawn against penenance in the first round.

[Ultima Shadow]

Yes the other at the arena can be fougth again... but all bosses who are not at arenas or random encounters can't be fougth more than once.

[Rinoabella]

You definitely need White Wind and Big Guard. For the record, Lucky 7's VS Emerald Weapon does nothing whatsoever

[aeris2001x2]

for the record lucky 7,s when used properly can wipe out emerald before he gets a move!!!! r u sure u know how 2 use it? there super cheap 2.

and those moves u mentioned could be useful in some tactics but there r zillions of ways 2 beat the weapons. whatever is best 4 u.

[Ultima Shadow]

One of the times i battled Emerald weapon i got lucky7's by pure luck after about 2 min figthing. I didn't know the luky 7's that time so i tougth it was a bugg or something when Cloud suddenly just keeped nonstop attacking Emerald weapon for 7777 damage until it died.

actually my characters were only lvl 65. The ultimate weapons really came in handy. (tifa at full LIMIT bar with Premium Heart can do aabout 9000 per hit, cid can do 9999 with full mp, and cloud the same with full hp).
