Easiest ruby weapon with all three characters
Ok so I just wanted to post another helpful thing to make ruby weapon so easy it'll make you laugh. I did this after emerald weapon so I had two mime's and a master command materia, and master summon materia. So pick any characters to be with cloud, give them their weapons that double ap, trust me you'll love it. Give each character a mime and cloud the master command and master summon. He'll also need a maxed hp and mp materia along with the other two characters. Connect the master summon with mp absorb, also place Knight of the round on cloud connected to hp absorb. With that combo you won't lose hp or mp the whole battle plus you'll be miming the whole time anyways. On the other two characters place whatever materia you want Lvl'd and you're set as long as they have mime. So this is how it should look.

Accessory: Sprint Shoes
Now onto the battle. Like everyone says come in with the other two characters dead. When the battle starts either the tentacle will attack or the ruby weapon. W-Item Phoenix down on the other two people. Make sure the person with the sprint shoes is revived first. As the other person is getting revived the person with the sprint shoes should finish and have him use a mega elixir. Have the other person guard so Cloud can go. Have him w-summon hades on the ruby weapon and then summon knights of the round on the tentacles. Hades with paralyze the ruby weapon and Knights of the Round should kill the tentacles. Have the other two mime, when it comes back to Cloud w-summon KOTR twice and mime with everyone from that point and it should be over after just a few turns. There you go you'll be happy with the result.
