Ff7 where is ruby weapon

Ruby Weapon is far stronger than Emerald Weapon, thanks to a ridiculously high defense stat, a number of powerful attacks, and the ability for it to remove party members at any time using Whirlisand except on the original PlayStation version of the game when it was only used on the 25th and 32nd turns.

Ruby Weapon might be a beast, but it has one significant weakness - paralysis. The player can steal an item called Dazers from Battery Caps found in the forests of the Nibel area and Boundfats which can be found in Corel Valley. Once the player has acquired the W-Item Materia originally found in the tunnels beneath Midgar during the raid on Disc 2 or dug up in Bone Village later if missed , then it's possible to use the duplication glitch to make 99 of any item.

The W-Item Materia glitch involves selecting an item, selecting a target for the item, selecting another item, then canceling the choice, which will increase the number of the original item. The same glitch can also be used to make 99 Megalixirs to keep the party alive for the battle that is to come. The player must enter the battle with Ruby Weapon with two dead characters, as this will cause it to unleash its tentacles, making it vulnerable to damage.

The sole character should revive the other party members as soon as the tentacles appear. It's then possible to spam Dazers on Ruby Weapon, which will keep it paralyzed for the remainder of the fight.

When paralyzed in this manner, Ruby Weapon cannot attack or counter, leaving the player free to deal with the main body as they see fit, so long as they keep spamming Dazers, as it won't remain paralyzed for long. The player should begin the battle with two characters dead and one character with low HP. Ruby Weapon will plant its tentacles and the player should ignore them entirely. The tentacles cannot kill a character because they deal fractional damage. Once the tentacles emerge, the player should throw Dazers at Ruby Weapon, then begin reviving the others.

One does not want to bring anyone to full HP, but rather keep their HP low for the???? Enemy Skill to be effective. The party should begin attacking Ruby Weapon with???? Once all characters are revived, the player can cast Big Guard or Haste to allow for twice as many attacks for each Dazers item thrown at Ruby Weapon.

The key to this strategy is timing: if one throws Dazers at Ruby Weapon while it is in the Paralyzed status, the Dazers will miss. Sometimes Dazers will miss and immediately thereafter Ruby Weapon will become active and attack. The trick is to know how many character turns one is allowed before Paralysis wears off, and to hit Ruby Weapon with Dazers as soon as it happens.

Generally one can hit Ruby Weapon four-five times per Dazers throw if the characters have Haste and high Dexterity. Much of the time the player can deny Ruby Weapon a chance to attack, but other times Ruby Weapon and the tentacles will get in a turn while the Dazers are queued. If someone dies from a main body attack they should be revived only after throwing Dazers. The only real concern with this method is that Ruby Weapon will wipe out the party with Ultima, but it tends to miss when Luck and Dexterity stats are high and Mystiles are equipped, as does Shadow Flare.

Throwing gil ignores defense and will always inflict damage to Ruby Weapon if one throws at least , gil. See here for gil earning methods. The player should enter the battle with two members of the party dead to stop Ruby Weapon from using Whirlsand, and before the battle use the W-Item duplication glitch to get a stock of Elixirs and Hero Drinks. The main character should use an Elixir and a Hero Drink every turn they get, and once their Limit Break activates use it.

Because of Hero Drinks the character can deal good damage even with Ruby Weapon's enhanced defense. To fill the Limit Break gauge faster the player can use the Fury status.

The character must equip the Ribbon to protect against status effects. There is a glitch that makes the battle not end even after Ruby Weapon is defeated. In this situation the only way to get out is to escape.

To make the glitch happen the player must kill both of Ruby Weapon's tentacles once, so that Ruby Weapon will remove them. Once Ruby Weapon puts the tentacles back the player must kill only one of the tentacles.

Even if the second one is still alive, Ruby Weapon will remove both. After Ruby Weapon has pulled the tentacles away the player must kill Ruby Weapon itself, triggering the glitch.

The battle isn't over because one tentacle is still alive, even if there is nobody for the party to fight. After escaping the battle Ruby Weapon will disappear from the world map.

Remove Sleep. The Final Fantasy Creatures collection figurines require minimal assembly and there are three types of every character: full-color, crystal, and chrome.
