Tips on beating Emeral Weapon

[Ultima Shadow]

Cool... I must try that! But just one thing... Rubys defense is incredibly high... beating Ruby with normal attacks and limmitbreaks would take 657 hours... as long as there isn't a magic-based nonelemental and very powerfull limmitbreak. I have forgoten if there is any.

You don't have to tell me. It sucked. Doing just 1/5 of Ruby's total HP took a looong time.

My freind Dominic did this: Knights of the round+mimic+mimic
took two turns and 13 hours. but he won.

Well, I can't back out on a challenge. As long as it can be considered an "Ultima" one. I'll try it after I complete your FFVI one, which is more time consuming than... uhhh... anything.

Well, as long as it's possible... then I will do it. Don't tell why, I'm like that... if I have proof someone have done it, then I must do it aswelll (as long as it has something to do with a hard FF battle) .

Hehehe, yea... I knew you were a nice FF madman like me.
Well, I can't do it rigth now since I'm playing some other stuff rigth now as well. But I'll tell when I start to try it out.
I'm also trying to beat Zeromus without equipment rigth now (+ I,m a little underleveled).

Pfft. You're not a real FF7 player until you beat both weapons without KotR or Mime.

just what exactly is this phrase supposed to mean? how am i not a true ffVII player for using KOR, the hardest materia 2 get in the game 4 a reason, and still requiring good tactics.

cause unlike Heros, holywars, the end from ffVIII, just casting KOR does not lead 2 victory.

i have beaten both without KOR though only Emerald without mime. for ruby i just substitute KOR 4 Bahamat Zero. but i have better things 2 do then fight Ruby for 5 hours.

the only way i could beat ruby without mime is with higher stats and better materia. but my ruby save is only lv 81 without the best materia. i say again,i have a master save but i cant try different methods with this super stat master materia team cause i have already killed the weapons!

for emerald i have used lucky 7. however that itself is far cheaper then KOR.

anyway, can we just drop such statements that have no meaning at all! its not like the weapons are that hard anymore. if i can beat Penance in ffX without Yojimbo then i cant be that bad, so please drop such such arrogant statements i beseech you. my self esteem is low enough as it is...

bottom line...there is nothing cheap about KOR.

13 hours? With KotR and Mime? Wow.

You take things way too literally.

Like level up KotR, eh?

See, this is what pisses me off. People who say the Weapons are easy, then go out and beat them with mastered KotR and two mimes. FF7, like any other game, is only as hard as you make it. If you level up materia for hours, then yes, it's going to be easy.

657 hours how'd you know?

but i DIDNT use mastered materia. when i took on ruby and emerald i hadnt used KOR before. i have leveled them up now, but when i beat the weapons my team was not even lv 99. so i couldnt kill them in two moves!

and it required skill, other wise i would have fallen victim to Rubys Ultima counter+finishing moves and Emeralds revenage stomp/Air tam storm combos.

bottomline- i beat both weapons with solo Cloud with crap stats without cheap ass lucky 7. that was not easy.

[McCheeze]

You best bet if you realy cant be bothered to hunt around is to just keep trying. The only thing you honestly need to be scared about is the Aire Tam Storm. on occasions it misses one charcter. get Him/it to revive party and keep mashing the hell out of Weapon until he uses Aire Tam Storm again. Pray that he misses.

not alot of help but people took all the best ideas already

I've beaten both without materia.

*applauds*

Doesn't lucky sevens stop after a while? Red XIII got that once when I was fighting Emerald and I thought I had him beat for sure. Then he stopped and Emerald finished me. (Obviously this was before my Omnislash strategy.)

And I am not planning to do this, but is it possible to mime Lucky 7s?

I used to know plenty of people that beat Emmy without materia. Killing him with KotR is really nothing to brag about.

and it required skill, other wise i would have fallen victim to Rubys Ultima counter+finishing moves and Emeralds revenage stomp/Air tam storm combos.

Turning the game on requires skill. Not much, but a little bit.

Also, it takes NO skill to dodge the Air Tam Storm. All you have to do is NOT HAVE A LOT OF MATERIA EQUIPPED. Easy. Air Tam Storm was a piece of cake when I did it without materia at all.

Plenty of people? How many are you people who have beaten Ruby without materia?

You'r killing the guy. Take it easy man.

...Hmmm... I got it! You used Yuffie! Rigth? She can do 9999 dammage to ruby with her best weapon.

[aeris2001x2]

yes but beating him without materia requires GOOD STATS or CHEAP ASS LUCKY 7. did u read what i said...i dont recall BRAGGING about anything. maybe u think everyone is as arrogant as you but news flash, i,m completly the oppisite.

it requires skill to beat emerald, not avoid air tam storm. u can easily avoid it and still get anilhated...

[Ultima Shadow]

Rubys HP is 1 million... if you use Yuffie... then you only have to hit Ruby 101 times! Then it won't take 657 hours!!! It should be very possible... and not as hard as it actually MAY sound... X-potions are easy to get and just as powerfull as fullcure... Hero drinks boosts your stats and there's an item called speed drink that works excactly like haste. It may be hard... but not as hard as I first thougth.

Yea, EVERY boss require skill and super bosses like Emerald and Ruby require good skill. Even with KotR + Mime.
