Ozma: Is he really that hard?

[KuRt]

Well, when you give every friendly monster a gem they want, ozma comes to close range so you can hit him/her/it with normal attacks, not only magic.

"Thievery is (Numner of Successful Steals) x 12"

[(Successful steals * Zidane's Speed stat) / 2] = Thievery damage.

"I read somewhere that Ozma is easier to beat if you've visited all the Friendly Monsters. Maybe that's why some people think its hard and others think its easy."

Ozma will become weak to Shadow-elemental attacks in addition to being within range of physical attacks if you've completed the friendly monster sidequest. This mean that everytime he uses Doomsday he'll be hitting himself for 9000 + damage.

Ultima Shadow is right about beating Ozma with a Lv.1 party being easier than getting to Ozma with Lv.1 characters. During a few events you're completely reliant on Vivi's Stop or Quina's Needle Fork + Add Status, and at Lv.1 the success rate of either is abysmally low.

No, I found him easy without finding all of the friend...I'm lazy.

[eestlinc]

He's definitely easier if you complete the friendly monsters quest, but he's beatable either way.

But.. Could you shortly explain what you did in the battle to kill ozma? LVL 1 chars don´t have much mp to cast spells to ozma, LVL1 chars don´t have much strenght to deal good damage to ozma..

You can use items to hurt (Dead Pepper, Dark Matter) and heal (the jewels). And Thievery, Dragon's Crest and Limit Glove cause fixed damage.

Thievery is (Numner of Successful Steals) x 12
Dragon's Crest is (Nunmber of Grand Dragons you killed) x (Number of Grand Dragons you killed). Or something like that. I don't know if only Grand Dragons affect Dragon's Crest and other dragons do, as well.
Limit Glove is simple. Causes 9999 damage when Quina has 1 HP.

But grand dragons come only in pack of 1 so everytime you kill one you get exp and so, no more lvl 1.

Or i think somewhere might come pacs of 2.... Do they??

You'll only encounter 1 at a time. And if you have virus on your characters, they won't gain any EXP which allows them to defeat Grand Dragons (and any other enemy as well) without gaining any levels.

You can power up Dragon's Crest while staying at Lv.1 by getting Zombie/Virus and fighting at Metalark Shores near Chocobo's Forest. On any Disk other than the 4th you'll encounter nothing but dragon-class enemies there, Ironites and Serpions. You can use that south gate fountain to restore Hp and Mp without losing Zombie status.

"I don't know if only Grand Dragons affect Dragon's Crest and other dragons do, as well."

All dragon-class enemies affect Dragon's Crest damage, even bosses.

I just started the LVL 1 Ozma challenge and i can say Sealion is bitchy.. But I´ll think a clever strategy against him

[louby_4eva]

I can't beat Ozma, it is REALLY hard. It's killed me loads of times, so eventually I gave up, I'll try it again soon though.

Smile and Be happy

ozma is a piece of crap. Hands down he is the worst designed boss i have ever seen before. Maybe the people at Square had a mental block when thinking of a cool optional boss, because i hardly find a rotating ball fun to fight.

Bring back omega weapon, he might not be as tough, but at least he looks the part.

Poor boy. Do you even know what you are saying?

Beachball 4 life!!!

[FinalLethal]

yeah, im saying ozma is a poor attempt at a boss
You dont play these games to fight objects you could find in your house, you play these games to fight big dragons and other cool looking shizen.

[Ultima Shadow]

Actually... I just love the idea of a super boss who looks like a weird object.

[Redfield]

Hehe nothing wrong with a giant rotating beach ball^^
i only know one person who has defeated Ozma... so in answer to the question... CHA lol... i'm pitiful and can't do it either... dark aeons? no problem... but Ozma? lol

[My name is...something..?]

I owned Ozma. I didn't even go after all the animals.I never saw why people thought he was hard.
