Underwater materia for Emerald. And final attack linked to Summon Phoenix. I hope you killed ultima weapon, too.

And for ruby? I uh. Dont remember. Maybe uh...throw, was it? Gil throw? Ahh, I forget.

[CypherToorima]

Yeah...they are easy. Equiping counter with ultima, and final attack with pheonix, you can beat the red on sorta...easily-ish. Mime and Knights of the Round, and Final attack pheonix is good for the underwater one (I can't remember which one is which)

Underwater is emerald, Desert is Ruby.

I always thought the Emerald Weapon was easy as hell. Just make sure you have the Omni-Slash and the mimic materia. Go into battle with Clouds limit up all the way, cast haste on him, use Omni-Slash and keep using mimic. Quadra magic with KotR helps quite a bit too.

I don't remember how I beat Ruby though...all I know is that he was hard as hell.

My friend was telling me about getting ass-lucky for emerald weapon. When he went to fight it, Barrett had 7777 hp, so he was kicking major ass with Lucky Seven.

P.S. I've never actually played the game, so I didn't want to mistakenly call anything "materia" or anything. I do know that emerald weapon is supposed to be really freakin' hard.

If I remember correctly, what I did to defeat Emerald was to give to one person W-Summon and Knights of the Round linked with HP Absorb, and to give everyone Mime. That way you can easily recover lost HP while dealing lots of damage. Also, if I remember correctly, Emerald's "Aire Tam Storm" attack does 1111 damage for every materia attached to someone, so if your entire party is loaded with materia it could wipe you out in one shot, unless you are using Final Attack--Phoenix.

I kinda forgot what I did for Ruby though...

[QreepyBORIS]

Before and after you beat the weapons, talk to this on old dude in Kalm. He gives you SO much for proof of beating the weapons.

Like W-Everygoddamnedthing. Its really good. He only gives you a gold Chocobo for ruby. Pretty bad one, too. Weakass prize.

For Ruby, kill your other two characters at the very beginning of teh battle, before he sucks them away in the cortex thingy. Then, when he does the spell, they don't go away. Revive them and you've got all 3 guys to use against a boss you're meant to be able to kill with just one guy. Piece of cake.

Mathew, I don't know what version your playing, you you can't mimic Limit breaks.

[Matthew666]

Mathew, I don't know what version your playing, you you can't mimic Limit breaks.

Ummm...yeah, actually you can...you can only mimic it with the character that used it, but you still can. I'm possitive of it.

Ruby Weapon is really really easy if you know what to do. Just W-Summon Knights of the Round and Hades. Hades will successfully give him the stop status, and KOTR will do major damage. Now just mime that until Ruby dies.

Alternatively, if you want your entire party to gain the XP and AP from Ruby, start off the battle with your two extra party members dead and W-Summon Hades and Pheonix for the first round. Then proceed with what is written above.

FF7 sucks.
