Omega Weapon

[Dark Knight]

Is it me, or does it seem like cheating if you have to use holy wars to beat Omega Weapon? I tried over a hundred times without it, but nothing worked and i had to resort to using holy wars. Thoughts or comments?

[rubah]

sure it is.

THat's why this game I'm paying exquisite attention to levelling up my characters so I won't have to use them when I get there.

[Dark Knight]

Thats the thing, my characters are all at 100, i have all my GF' s up really high, and i have high level magics junctioned to all my stats and elemental/status defenses. Everyone has their best weapon and i constantly use 'Lion Heart'. I don't think its possible to kill him without holy wars. Am i just not doing something right, or am i just not lucky?

Omega Weapon attacks in a pattern. If you know when Medigo Flame and Terra Break are coming, the fight becomes very easy even without invincibility items. Also, in case you didn't know, the Defend command will cause Terra Break to inflict 0 damage. Finally, if you're really desperate, I suppose you could always go stat-max with the Devour command.

Once you know what you're doing, Omega's actually really easy to defeat.

Took me one Lionheart and one of Zell's limit breaks, and zero holy wars or heros to defeat it. (well, by the time I got my Lionheart, I had inflicted quite a bit of damage in regular attacks, and other limit breaks like rough divide, etc.)

If one Lionheart doesn't do it, I'm sure 2 should. Keep casting Aura, haste, protect and regen on your characters, and don't use full-life, as that greatly decreases your chances of getting limit breaks. I found it easiest keeping their hp low enough to get limit breaks, but using regen to let their hp increase every so often, after I've selected their limit break on a given turn.

I killed him at level 80-90 and I didn't need holy war's then again I know where to get an infinite supply of strength power ups and such.

[Yuffie514]

nope, beat him. i had absolutely no Holy Wars and he's still as good as dead.

[Ultima Shadow]

Yea, I've always considered it cheap to use invinsible items.

Omega Weapon is a pushover as long as you don't fight him blindfoded or without any status effecting junctioning at all. I've beaten the whole game + Omega and Ultima Weapon by only use the command junctioning (like Item, Magic, GF etc. NO OTHER KIND OF JUNCTIONING AT ALL) and without refining any cards... AND with the least powerful weapon for every character. That was actually pretty tough...

I'm sorry, and I don't mean to offend anyone here, but I smell bull-poo, and I'll explain why:

The ratio of Omega's level with your own has nothing to do with the fact that he's faster and stronger than you at any level. Personally, I had my characters maxed out at level 100, the best junctions on everything, best weapons, holy wars, quistis left in yellow for that attack she does there, the whole nine yards, and I FINALLY managed to beat him. I cannot imagine going into a battle like that, let alone beating Omega, without serious preparation. Granted, it did take me a couple of tries, and I imagine it took most people a couple of tries, so I can't honestly believe that someone can breeze thru it. If there's a trick to it, maybe. If you are SUPER lucky, maybe. Then again, I may just suck.

I don't consider it cheating per se. Cheating is doing something the game didn't intend you to be able to do (like duplicating items using W-Item).

Since you can normally acquire Holy Wars, it's not cheating to use them. It is of course, a cheap way to win.

[DocFrance]

Two things:

-Omega is ALWAYS at level 100, so your party's level will have no effect on Omega's.
-ph33r the awesome power of Zell's Armageddon Fist

HAHAHA it's possible for you and for me to defeat Omega without HolyWars!
First thing first...I wanna sorry for my English.(I'm just a learner)
If you don't understand something send me :tranvan_hieu86@yahoo.com
I guess you almost never use "Defend" command,right? Yeah,it's useless in other battles,but in this untimate fight,it's the untimate trick!
You already know how to maximize your power,don't you? OK,it'll be easier when you have 9999 hp ,255 at str,mag,vit,spr,and so on.
In the battle,choose your two main fighters!They responsible for attacking(i chose Zell and Squall or Irvine) and one support character for surviving-this one only use "Defend" command and "Life" .
We die mainly because of "Megiddo Flame"(9998 damage for the trio) and "Terra Break" (very terrifying- with maximum defensive,it can still deals more than 9999 hp on three characters-a certain dead!)but "Defend" will help you to reduce the effect of "Terra Break".It can only deals about 0 hp now(If I remember).
In the battle,cast Triple for support character then let him cast Haste,Aura on others(you have time,because Omega only use two main attacks later).If you have trained Zell's "duel" well (50-60 hit per turn) ,the battle will be very quick.Give Omega some "Meltdown",with 255 Strength,Zell can deals 5000-6000 dmg per fist.
I'm telling you my own method, so if you don't understand something,just send me a message.
Telling the truth,i finish this battle in only about 5-8 minutes!
I will talk more another time! See ya (^________^)

Wow, for someone learning English, that was pretty good ^_^

You want cheating? I'm one of those people that gave it a try using "The End" lol... Or was that with Ultima Weapon...

[tranvanhieu]

Yeah,it's not easy to believe.But ,you know,I finished FF VIII for four times.I always do something I haven't done without giving up.
First time i encounter Omega,he beated me so easily.Then I did my best to explore the FF 8 world.You don't know how much time I paid for it (^_^).
You doubt that I didn't defeat Omega without HolyWars ?
When there is a will ,there is a way!
OK, then tell me why I can't defeat him!I'll answer you immediately!
