Emerald WEAPON Strategy - The ultimate Emerald WEAPON strategy - Games - http://maxpages.com/ffomega/Emerald_WEAPON

LONG BUT EFFECTIVE STRATEGY:

First of all, you should go to the Underwater Junon Reactor and fight a Skeleton Ship. You can Morph them into a Guide Book. Take the Guide Book to the man in Kalm in the northeasternmost house and trade it for the 'Underwater' Materia. This will enable you to fight Emerald WEAPON without a time limit.

From there, get a Gold Chocobo (See 'Chocobo Breeding Guide') and head northeast on the world map toward the corner. There should be a small, sheltered island nearby. Go there, and dismount your Chocobo. Inside the cave is the ultimate Summon Materia: Knights of Round (Knights of the Round Table). Mount your Chocobo again and head to the continent that Wutai is on. Go south of Wutai until you find an isolated cave and head in there. Collect the 'Mime' Materia and depart to Sephiroth's Cave. Go down the left path and fight Magic Pots with Apocalypse (see 'Materia Tips' section) until you master your first 'Knights of Round' Materia and grow another.

Go to the Gold Saucer and compete in the Battle Arena until you get the 'W-Summon' Materia and gain the ability to compete in the Special Battle Arena. Compete in the Special Battle Arena until you gain the 'Final Attack' Materia. The 'Phoenix' summon Materia is also required.

Go to Wutai and do Yuffie's Side Quest in Disc II, but be sure to collect the 'MP Turbo' Materia in the town. From here, you can fight Emerald Weapon with Cloud alone, but you can grow additional 'Mime' Materias and place them on your other characters. Be sure to equip everyone's Ultimate Weapon and a Mystile or Imperial Guard. Pair Materia as follows:

Ultimate Weapon: 'Final Attack'-'Phoenix' 'Knights of Round'-'MP Turbo' 'Knights of Round'-'HP Absorb' 'W-Summon'-'Mime'
Mystile: 'HP Plus'-'MP Plus' 'Mime'-'Counter' 'Your Choice'-'Your Choice'

To find Emerald, simply get in your submarine and go underwater. Emerald WEAPON isn't too hard to find; he's normally lurking around a big crater in the ocean floor.

EMERALD WEAPON:
HP: 1,000,000
ATTACKS: Emerald Shoot, Emerald Beam, Revenge Stamp, Attack, Air Tam Storm
WEAKNESS: None

When the battle commences, Emerald's only move will be 'Emerald Shoot.' This does approximately 4000 damage to one of your characters. Eventually, 'eyes' will appear in Emerald's upper half. These enable him to perform a special move, 'Emerald Beam,' which does approximately 4000 damage to your entire party. However, when you hit an eye, Emerald will counter-attack with 'Revenge Stamp,' a 2000 damage physical attack. When Emerald gets extremely low on health (200,000 or so) he will use 'Air Tam Storm,' a move that instantly kills your entire party unless it misses (highly unlikely)

As soon as the fight begins, however, use the 'W-Summon'-'Knights of Round' combo to do serious damage and recover all your health. Mimick that for the rest of the battle and Emerald WEAPON will eventually fall. If one of your party should die and you feel that you must revive them, or your entire party dies, the Phoenix Summon will do, but you will have to re-cast the original summon again, but after that you may continue mimicking safely.

SHORTER, EASIER, NOT AS EFFECTIVE STRATEGY 1:

First of all, you have to get a Wizard Bracelet, 1 Gravity Materia, a Quadra Magic Materia, W-Magic Materia, and Mime Materia. Equip the Wizard Bracelet, Conformer, and the Gravity Materia on Yuffie, but be sure to pair it with Quadra-Magic. Now equip the W-Magic and Mime Materias. The Underwater Materia also helps in this battle, so equip it on someone else.

Now, you could put additional Mime Materias on other people, and you should have a healer using Cure3 or Megalixer. Use the Final Attack-Phoenix or Final Attack-Life combo if possible. Pound Emerald with Demi up to 8 times a round, and if you have HP/MP absorb, you will more often than not get all your health back in a single turn. The fight should go well until the eyes appear. Here you have to vary your strategy. Have someone with multiple attack materia or a limit break ready use it to take out the eyes one by one, while still using Demi on Emerald's body. When Air Tam Storm interrupts your plans, the Final Attack will either revive you, or you're screwed.

SHORTER, EASIER, NOT AS EFFECTIVE STRATEGY 2:

You should get 13 Counter-attack Materias, Command Counter, a mastered Cover, and Mime. Equip a Wizard Bracelet and Conformer on Yuffie, and put all the Counter-attack Materias on her, and equip Command Counter-Mime as well as a mastered Cover. This will make it so that the first time anyone gets hit, Yuffie will retaliate 13 times, and the second time she will retaliate 26 times. Equip Final Attack-Phoenix or Final Attack-Life combos and you should be fine the entire battle.

ALTERNATE STRATEGY: If you're feeling lucky, you can have Cait Sith participate in the battle with his Level 2 Limit Break: Slots ready. There is a combo on the slots that will instantly cause victory for you, but the chances are approximately 2/95 of success.
