INTRO
Weapons are monsters the planet created to destroy everything if something is threatening it. Their are five in all; Emerald, Ruby, Diamond, Onix or Saphire, and Ultima.
ONIX
You can't fight it, because the Junon Cannon blows it's head off.
ULTIMA
The easiest one by far. You fight this in Mideel once, and have an opportunity to fight it later in the game. It's so easy because it keeps running away, and instead of one hard battle, you fight five easy ones. After You kill Diamond Weapon, it will hover above the junon lake. Ram it to fight it. After, it escapes, and will be flying around various areas in the map. You have to ram it five times, and it will fly to the creater, where you fight it. Then it will escape, and can be seen flying around. Repeat the proccess about four times (once or twice you'll fight it on fort Condor)and it will hover near cosmo canyon. Equip As many reflect rings as you can, and fight it. It's a pushover, but as it's final attack it will do Shadow Flare on the person who delivered the final blow. Put enemy skills on, and you'll learn the awesome enemy skill, and if your in reflect, reflect it back on Ultima to add insult to injury. For killing it, you get Cloud's Ultimate Weapon, the Ultima Weapon (Ultima Weapon, Ultimate Weapon, Ultima Weapon. Couldn't Square have been a little more creative?)
DIAMOND
You don't really have to beat it, and don't kill it when you win the fight(the Sister Ray does it for you), but you can beat it and get a ton of Exp, Ap, and Gil. After the White Materia Exposition, it comes out of the ocean and goes towards Midgar, to Blow it up. Wait till it gets on land and run into it on foot to fight it. Physical Attacks Don't work, but bolt 3 does about 3,000 damage. Cast Reflect on Everyone and link it Bolt to All. Then Cast Bolt 3 on you, to hit Diamond 3 times with it. Repeat the process a lot to kill him. You probably won't have Knights of Round yet, but It would probably kill it after a couple mimes. Also, steal Yuffies Second Best Weapon, the Rising son, there (it has double growth).
RUBY
Ruby Weapon is the Second hardest boss in the game, and you need Knights of the Round (KOTR) to beat it. For info on Getting KOTR, visit the Chocobo section. After you Kill Ultima Weapon, go to the gold saucer. You'll see in the desert, a tiny red thing is poking out of the ground, ram it, and it will jump out, showing it's whole giant body.
Give Cloud Mystile armor, a ribbon, Apocolypse Sword, W-Summon, Hades, mime, KOR linked to HP absorb, Magic Plus, Enough HP plus to get full Hp, and Final Attack linked to Revive with Life 2 learned, or Pheonix (Pheonix heals her though, so I don't reccomend it).
Ruby is immortal until she has her claws into the ground, which she won't do until two party members are dead or removed. If their alive at the start of the battle, she'll do Whirlsand, which removes to party members, and she'll almost definetly take away whoever has all the equipment. How do you get around this? Kill two party members in a battle.
With everyone except Cloud dead, Go ram the head of Ruby. She'll put her claws in the ground and they'll come out behind you, making it an attack from both sides. W-Summon Hades on her and her claws to freeze, and poison them, and then W-Summon KOTR. You get about 12,000 HP back if your magic plus is mastered. Then just keep miming it. Ruby Weapon has about 800,000 HP, so it takes a while. Evetually she'll wake up, and counter KOR with Ultima. With Mystile, Ultima will miss 70 percent of the time, and you'll be at full health after summonging, if you linked KOTR to HP absorb. You have to have above 7,000 HP or don't even think about fighting her.
She might kill you, and then you'll do revive or Pheonix, and be alive again. Just do KOTR again, and she'll eventually die. You get tons of EXP, AP, and Gil, plus the Desert Rose. Trade it to the Kalm Travler for a gold Chocobo (which you'll already have, if you have KOR).
EMERALD
Ruby is only second to this Giant. He has 1,000,000 HP, and, to make matters worse, attacks that do a minimum of 7,000, and Aire Tam Storm, an attack that does damage based on how much materia you have (Usually 9,999!) You need big guns to kill this bastard.
Equip Cloud with Mime, any armor, Apocolypse Sword, Sprint Shoes, Mastered Magic Plus, and Final Attack + Pheonix
Equip Character 2 with (level 3+) KOTR+HP Absorb, W-summon and Bahamut Zero + Quadra Magic.
Equip Character 3 with underwater materia and Demi.
Give everyone HP plusses to get 9,999 for everybody.
When you get in battle. W-Summon KOTR and Have Cloud Mime it. Keep miming it
Eventually Emmy will do Aire Tam Storm, but because Cloud doesn't have Much Materia, it only does about 6,666 to him. Keep on Miming. After about eight times, let Him kill you, and W-Summon KOR and bahamut Zero or just KOR again. Keep miming it, and Emerald will die finally. Congratulations, you juts beat the games hardest boss. Besides the Tons of Exp, ect., you get the Earth Harp, which the Kalm Travler Will trade you All 3 Master Materias for. You don't even need them, because no one else will be a challenge.
