What's the point of Omega Ruins?

[abrojtm]

what iis this master tonberry trick everyone keeps talking about :s

Overdrive->AP
Triple Overdrive
Triple AP

Overdrive Mode: Stoic...

I'd explain it in more detail if I had the time, but I'm sure someone will step in and tell you more about it.

[rubah]

Throw double ap on there also, for a good time.

It requires having three characters, with weapons that have overdrive->ap and a variable number of the double/triple overdrive/ap abilities.

Two people have theirs set to comrade, and one set to stoic. The one with stoic should have the lest hp of the three.

Initiate a battle with a *don* tonberry and have the person with least hp attack. Counterattack is dealt out on a 'how much damage have they done?' basis. No one's overdrives should move at all.

Revive, and slap him around. Haste the attacker over and over to get more strikes in. Use auto-life if you have it.

Repeat until dead. Hopefully you have 99 sphere levels. YOu can start attacking witht he other members when the guy stops walking towards you xD

Also on Rubah's super happy funwithspherelevels time.

This guy is slightly more difficult, because he's more random. But who can go wrong with attacks of 99999? It's more or less the same strategy, except with more hasting, and you might want to reconsider whether to use stoic or comrade.

1) an excellent training place
2) powerful fiends
3) rare items and equipment

...Great Malboro is one of the toughest fiends. never give him a chance to use Bad Breath b/c he'll make ur characters suffer slow deaths. i prevent this by adding useful abilities to my equipment, especially First Strike. it allows a character to be the first to start a battle. if one of ur characters have it, have 'em use Provoke. Great Malboro never uses Bad Breath on me when i Provoke him.

[Aurora_sword]

yes, well
it has ultima and omega weapon so, worth a look and the al bhed primer 26 down't forget

[hockeydude]

how do you get triple ap :S:S

[Legendary Caladbolg]

Also, the Omega Ruins are the only place to get Blue Magic: Nova

You can also get nova from Nemisis in the monster arena. Although it takes a really long time to unlock him.

[MAS82587]

u get some good items and fight a couple of optional bosses.

[Ifrite]

To get many levels!! it's a very good place to get some exp./levels.

[thw waxing moon]

Nova

nuff said

[Cruise Control]

How do I get nova in there??

[Savannah]

I'm curious about this Nova thing that apparently I missed out on (didn't Lancet Omega).

[Shalashaska]

Nova is the 'ultimate' overdrive for Kimahri, though it's really nothing special (it doesn't even have an original animation). If you missed taking it from Omega you can Lancet Nemesis in the MA as an alternative.

[Yuna1]

meh, I don't use Kimarhi all that much anyway. But I agree with the training and gil thing. That was very useful. Thanks to all the training I did, I beat the aeons in one blow, and Yu Yevon wasn't that hard also. (Either way Yu Yevon wouldnt be hard, because all I did was zombie attack, and then use Life on it he he he)

[KuRt]

It's an easier place to level up than the Monster Arena, but it goes more quickly than Zanarkand.
You can get a TON of spheres from monsters and chests.
You learn a blue magic (Nova).
It's got really good music that you only hear in a couple other parts of the game.
Two 'super' bosses (which aren't that superxD).
You need it for capturing monsters.

And it looks cool
