I NEED HELP WITH DEFEATING OMEGA WEAPON

[Halenite]

Ultima Shadow, how is using an item that is programmed into the game cheap and cheat?

[Ultima Shadow]

Auronhart... that's why you shouldn't use auto-protect. If you have to recast autoprotect everytime it wears off. That make the battle even more intressting.

Ireng...
Yes it's true... and that's a real shame!

And Halentine... it's just a matter of opinion. But I think making your whole party invinsible for the whole battle is very cheap. But that's just my opinion...

[Ireng]

Yes it's true... and that's a real shame!

D'arvit.
Programmers shouldn't let this kind of things happen.

[Auronhart]

True enough I guess. Or you could just go all the way and try to beat him without junctioning at all (or the end), which I believe is what you were trying?

[Ultima Shadow]

True enough I guess. Or you could just go all the way and try to beat him without junctioning at all (or the end), which I believe is what you were trying?

I've already beaten him without any status effecting junctioning. Only commands like item, magic, GF etc were allowed + everyone had their very first weapons. I didn't have any of the drawable GFs either and no Holy Wars/Cheats. That was very hard.

I haven't tried without ALL junctioning yet (this means not even equiping any GFs at all) but I will someday...

[Auronhart]

For the first challenge, did you just use protect to survive terra break or was defend allowed (or maybe invincible moon)? Does no status effect junctioning mean no magic junctioning at all? Also did you keep those rules from the beginning of the game. I assume that you can't have abilities like str+60% junctioned.

For the second challenge, the no junctioning challenge, if it is just for omega it might not be so bad (bonus abilities + devour=very high stats), but if you are going with no junctioning through the whole game + omega all I can say is .

[Ultima Shadow]

For the first challenge, did you just use protect to survive terra break or was defend allowed (or maybe invincible moon)?

Protect is not enough sine you'll have extremely low stats... so... you have to rely on Defend.
The whorst attack however... is by far Megido Flame. The only way to survive it is to block with a GF or use Invinsible Moon. If you don't block and if none of your characters are invinsible when he use this move... then you're dead no matter what.

Does no status effect junctioning mean no magic junctioning at all? Also did you keep those rules from the beginning of the game. I assume that you can't have abilities like str+60% junctioned.

Yes!
Yes! Including not being able to draw from enemies/bosses + no card refining.
That's right! None of those abilities at all ONLY stuff like Item, Magic, GF etc.

For the second challenge, the no junctioning challenge, if it is just for omega it might not be so bad (bonus abilities + devour=very high stats), but if you are going with no junctioning through the whole game + omega all I can say is .

In both of these challanges you're not allowed to boost your stats. Since the first one is orginaly a challange about beating the whole game that way (I come up with that challange and made a tread about it long ago). And that challange only allow you to have a limmited amount of GFs since you're not allowed to draw in battle and none of the GFs you'll be able to get have any of the abilities that you'll need to boost your stats.
So... yea. But in the second challange you'll be allowed to use the most powerfull weapons...
But it will still be hard as crap and you'll have to rely on getting Invinsible Moon alot...

[Auronhart]

Wow, thats tough. (Maybe I'll try the first one after I've beaten Ultimecia in no junction) Challenges are fun.

[Ultima Shadow]

Challenges are fun.

Exactly! But there's some people who don't seem to understand this... :rolleyes2
You should try it out but you'll need time and patince... trust me. And all your characters must be 98-99 and not 100 because if they are you're going to be killed by level5 death!

[travelingulliver]

it is quite easy to defeat the omega weapon. first have Squall, Rinoa, and Zell and make sure they are at 9999hp, and that you have the 100 mega elixers from the bahamut card. o.. and make sure each character has plenty of aura magic. then cast aura on squall and heal with mega elixers with rinoa and zell, and use aura on zell if you feel lucky. o and cast meltdown on omega weapon too. That's about it. the battle should take 45minutes tops.

[mihalis]

Yea, Omega is easy... even without all that cheap stuff.

Wow, well.. I guess if you think that beating Omega is easy (being the roughest monster in the game), then that probably means that you think the entire game is way too easy for you! The last time I played a game that was entirely too easy (FF-VII and FF-X), I got bored very quickly! I didn't think Omega was that easy, and I managed to get to Level 100 without really going out of my way to do it (of course, I got every GF along the way...)

Depending on how one goes about getting to Level 100, they might make the game more difficult for themselves than it should have been. If you did it without the benefit of powerful Spells in vast quantities to boost your Stats, or without the GF Bonus abilities that would permanently increase a Stat by one point everytime the character leveled up, you may find that a Level 100 party isn't as strong as a Level 50 party. When properly exploited, however, the growth system in Final Fantasy VIII will allow even Omega Weapon to fall within 10 to 15 minutes and with little difficulty, especially with Omega having a pattern that he follows.

[Ultima Shadow]

Wow, well.. I guess if you think that beating Omega is easy (being the roughest monster in the game), then that probably means that you think the entire game is way too easy for you!

Actually... in my opinion both Ultima Weapon and Ultimecia are tougher than Omega Weapon. Because of Omega Weapons attack pattern, he's a complete pushover. And yes, I think FFVIII is way too easy. It's actually the easiest FF. And almost all the FFs are too easy.

Anyway... this tread is very old and should probably be closed...

I can't belive it! ANOTHER Omega Weapon tread...

To beat Omega Weapon you need your party to be at level 100. Then junctions 100 deaths to status def to avoid lv.5 death. Have a member of your party have revive, it might be usefull ;-) . Cast meltdown on the weapon to reduce it's vitality to 0 and strike it with many Renzokuken and pray for some Lionhart!!! If you want to beat it easily, you can use some Hero or Holy war. (Refine laguna and gilgamesh cards) If you do not want to use that, you can also cast rinoa limit break and by chance, she'll cast Invincible moon. Use Eden and other GF to protect yourself from Terra break sick attack!

1) You really don't NEED to be at level 100.
2) Defend is a much better way to protect against Terra Break.
3) Hero/Holy Wars= Cheap/Cheat.

Well... I guess I have to repeat myself...

Good junctioning is the key to win every battle in this game with ease.
Make sure you have alot of magic to junction + characters at high level. Then he should be pice of cake.
Also... remember that Omega attacks in a special order...

Omega Weapons attacks and how to avoid them without using cheap hero items:
1) lvl 5 Death. Either, don't be at a level multiplised by 5, OR junction 100 Deaths to your stat-def.
2) Meteor. Have high spr (shell halves the dammage).
3) Megido Flame. This is Omegas mos deadly attack. It does exactly 9998 dammage to the party and neither protect or shell will work. To survive... either Block with a GF or have 9999 HP before the attack (make sure to heal with megaelexir after this attack, but you may wait until Omega Weapon does his next move since it won't hurt you at all if your hp is1).
4) Gravia. This attack dammage 3/4 of your current HP (this attack can't kill so if HP is 1, this attack will do 0 dammage).
5) Terra Break. This may be your end. If you'r not prepared that is... but all you need is the ability Defend. If you use Defend when Omega Weapon uses Terra Break... then you will take 0 dammage! So you should get the Defend ability to as many party members as you can.
6) Ultima. Same as Meteor.
7) Ligth Pillar. Since this attack does 9999 dammage to one of your party members, no matter what, the one who is hit will die. But worry not, since Omegas Ligth Pillar is predicable, you just need to be prepared to revive the one who dies.
After all this Omega Weapons attacks will repeat... all but lvl5 death, so you will always be prepared. Oh, and one more thing... He may use a psychical attack at random(wow RANDOM) betweene the other moves, but don't worry, it's a weak attack and it may miss!
Location: Ultimecias Castle
Draw: Flare, Holy, Meteor, and Ultima

Edit: Oh, yea... by the way, here's Omegas stats...

Omegas stats:
HP: 1,161,000
Str: 232
Vit: 200 (but since you can reduce it to 0 with meltdown it doesn't matter that much.)
Mag: 149
Spr: 130
Spd: 60
Eva: 7

Hope that helps.

You mean that's what meltdown does?!.

Wish I knew that I had to fight him the hard way anyway every thing this guy said and get your speed HIGH.
