Emerald Weapon hints and tips for Final Fantasy VII

Emerald Weapon

Emerald weapon; The way I did It, (the second time):

Initial preparation; As with Ruby weapon, I was level 99 with all my characters, and I used Cloud (obviously), Cid and somebody else. I had 9999 health and 999 mp. I had final attack and phoenix linked on everybody and 3 master materia's of every type on every character. I also had W-Summon with every character, and mime. (I had Cloud with his Apocalyspe, Cid with his scimitar and somebody else with a triple growth weapon. Everybody had a mystile and a ribbon equipped as well. (you get ribbons by morphing master Tonberries in the North Cave, and the Mystile's from various boxes in the North cave, and one before you go to fight Hojo, just before the mahousive staircase after you've fought the proud Clod)

If you have underwater materia, then you should equip it as it removes the time limit, however, I didn't have it at the time (you get it by morphing a ghost ship; located at the underwater reactor in the glass tunnel, or at the goldsaucer battle arena, hopefully, then taking the "guidebook" that you receive to the man in Kalm who swaps all your items)

I simply w-summoned knights of round, and mimed it, over and over and over and over and over and over and over...

Unless I died and did final attack, then I had to cast the summon again, obviously, or if I got a limit, then I used it.

Emerald's "Air Tam storm" attack is a son of a bitch, it ALWAYS hits all your characters, unless you have tifa who has managed to dodge it a MAHOUSIVE ratio of 1 out of the 64, 000 times I've fought him. And Since I always had lots of materia to level up for my other characters, the attack always did 9999 to us all. Luckily, final attack is a sexy move. (I read somewhere that this attack does 1111 for each piece of materia you have equipped..how true this is, I don't know, so don't hold me to it.)

Yes, and, off course, I cured myself when I needed it/when I could.

Using this method, I defeated emerald weapon in 16 minutes, 32 seconds, and so the underwater materia was not necessary.

This was especially fun when I defeated him, because I only attacked him for an excuse to turn the computer off at the time, and then I won. Simply, marvellous.

Hope that was sufficient enough for you.
