Ultima Weapon:

  Ultima Weapon is a secret boss in FF 8, the 2nd hardest in the game. This beast has one-hit kills and very powerful magic, you’ll need every advantage to beat him. Actually he’s not that hard but he’s much tougher than every other boss you’ve faced. His defeat is the goal of the Deep Sea Research Center quest, which gives you some great rewards. Before trying this quest you should level up to 100 and get your character’s ultimate weapons, this isn’t necessary but it will help. You should also stock up on Auras, they let your characters use their limit breaks without having to be near death. You can draw them from the last fight with Seifer or refine one fury fragment into five. To start this quest fly to the bottom-left of the map to find the Deep Sea Research Center. Inside you’ll find out why you needed to level up, there are all kinds of tough monsters. You’ll see a blue radiating core, if you walk while the core isn’t glowing you won’t get in a fight. Walk while it glows and you’ll run into a fight every step. Once you get to the core a voice will ask you 3 questions, get one wrong and you’ll fight a Red Dragon and then get another chance, get one right and you’ll fight a Red Dragon and move on to the next. Here are the answers in order: “It’s not our will to fight”, “Never”, and the 3rd hidden option “None of your business”. You’ll get into a fight with Bahamut, the king of GFs. He’s not too tough, use Aura to put him out in a minute. After getting your new GF they’ll be a hole you can’t enter yet, go back to the Ragnarok and into the conference room. When you come back you’ll be able to go into the hole to that leads to Ultima Weapon. Now you have a puzzle to beat. There are 6 floors, to progress you’ll need to give the machines some steam power. You only have 20 units to get to the bottom. Here are the solutions: -Solution #1 (without Zell)

Floor 1- 4 units spent automatically

Floor 2- spend 2 units

Floor 3- use the monitor to open the steam room, use the station to recharge 7 units then use 1 unit to get down

Floor 4- spend 1 unit

Floor 5- spend 1 unit

Floor 6- spend 4 units to open the last door -Solution #2 (with Zell)

Floor 1- 4 units spent automatically

Floor 2- spend 1 unit

Floor 3- spend 1 unit

Floor 4- spend 1 unit

Floor 5- spend 1 unit

Floor 6- let Zell handle the machine Now you’ll have to run down a long path to the bottom. You can’t avoid the fights down here, and the monsters get tougher as you get lower. When you get to the bottom use the secret save point and give your remaining steam power to face Ultima Weapon. I said Ultima was easy but he’s still a threat, don’t underestimate him. Before fighting be sure set at least one character with draw, during the fight that character should draw the Eden GF from Ultima. To start the fight summon Cerberus or just cast Triple on everybody. Next cast Aura on everybody with Triple and pummel him with limit breaks. If he kills any member cast Full-Life on him/her and keep up the Aura. He should fall pretty quick, if you use the Lion Heart limit break he’ll die instantly.
