Final Fantasy 7 - Ruby Weapon
One of the evil, more nastier WEAPONs that were added to the American version of Final Fantasy
VII was Ruby Weapon. Ruby WEAPON only appears after you've defeated Ultimate WEAPON. Finding
Ruby WEAPON is easy -- you will see it peaking out of the sand surrounding Gold Saucer. Fly
into it with the Highwind to start the battle.
Some things you should know about Ruby WEAPON is unless its claws are buried in the sand,
its torso is invulnerable. If you attack during this time, the boss will automatically do an
attack that completely eliminates a member of your party from the entire fight. Ruby WEAPON
usually does this twice in a row. So, don't attack unless the WEAPON's claws are buried in
the sand.
As soon as the claws are in the sand, attack the torso with everything you got. Quad Magic
and Bahamut ZERO works particularly well. However, using Knights of the Round on Ruby WEAPON
usually makes it retaliate with an Ultima spell. Remember to cast Haste on all your party
members and Wall and MBarrier. Keep your characters healed. However, make sure no one has
the Counter-Attack materia equipped on them. You don't want to take the chance of attacking
while its claws are in the ground. Also, if you equip the Mime materia, make sure the party
member you're miming isn't going to attack while Ruby WEAPON's claws are in the ground!
One combination that works well is the Final Attack-Revive combination. Make sure some one (or all)
in the group can cast this, or the fight will be over before you know it. As for items, Turbo Ethers
could really come in handy, since fights with Ruby WEAPON can usually take time, meaning your MP
will be drained, meaning you won't be able to re-cast Haste, Wall, MBarrier and heal your party members.
For winning against Ruby Weapon, you'll receive the Desert Rose. This can be traded for VERY,
VERY useful items from a certain traveler in Kalm. Be sure to read Final Fantasy Insider's
