Ok so lately I've been kinda playing final fantasy 7 nonstop trying to kill these "secret" bosses called Ruby and Emerald weapon. They are far stronger than Ultima weapon which you fight at least two to five times depending on whether or not you try to get Cloud's final weapon. So here's the strategy I try to use on Ruby Weapon. I keep only the necessary materia at my disposal, and of course Ruby's so cheap he flushes down two allies down the quicksand toilet (lol) so you can only use one character in this fight, but I always try to use cloud since his stats are all higher up than everyone else's. I always use W-Item (allows you to use 2 items at once) and I always use hero drink and Elixirs whenever he has me cornered and I have nothing to do, but it keeps being dragged on and on and I eventually lose patience and just try to kill him instantly and always die...
Here's the issue for Emerald Weapon: He's underwater. And what's underwater that you can't find anywhere, no matter how long you search for? Air. -.- So unless I get a underwater materia which I have no clue where it's at, I'm stuck with this annoying 20 minute timer. I've figured out a way to just take on emerald's attacks, that's no problem. I can easily last as long as I need to.. within 20 minutes. After the timer goes out, I die instantly... If anyone knows how to help, please do. I really want mastered materia.
