o------- Item Checklist -------o Speak to Cid on the bridge of your Airship
| | and select the search option. Point your
| Al Bhed Primer XXVI...._____ | cursor to approximately (X,Y) coordinates
| Friend Sphere.........._____ | (70,39) on that little patch of ice to
| | discover the Omega Ruins. This is the
o------------------------------o hardest dungeon in the game so don't tackle
it until you think you are fully prepared.
As long as you do feel prepared however, choose your list and head to the
Omega Ruins. There's a save point right behind you, get used to it because
you'll likely be using it a lot. Go forward to the fork and head own the East
path, at the end you will find two chests with random items (or non-random, if
you'd like a much more in-depth view of this nothing, check out the Omega
Ruins FAQ by thgink999 at GameFAQs.) Anyway do whatever you need to do and
return to the entrance, then take the West path. There are three chests at
the end. Follow the path Northeast from these chests. Make a left at the
next fork to find three more chests, then return to the fork and head right.
At this point I'd like to take a minute to note that if you're having trouble
on the Malboro type enemies here who use Bad Breath every time you get into a
fight, I recommend buying 60 Remedies and customizing the Auto Med ability
onto the armour of each of your party members.
Down the slope is a more open area with four chests in a circular pattern.
Just above them is the 'Al Bhed Primer Vol, XXVI.' Run Northwest and down the
slope to the West to find a glyph at the bottom, touch it to make it glow.
Now head back up and go South to where the four chests were, continue South
and at the top of the ramp on your left you will see a glyph in a stone panel,
you may have noticed it on your way by before. Now that the other glyph is
active you can touch this one to fork a path leading South to a single treasre
chest. Now return to the area with four chests. Take the Northeast path and
step onto the platform which will bring you up. Further down the hall is...

| Boss: Ultima Weapon | |
|---------------o--------------| It's difficult to give strategies for this |
| HP: 75,000 | AP: 40,000 | boss simply because people came to this |
|---------------+--------------| area at dramatically different levels. |
| MP: 1 | Gil: 20,000 | Personally I levelled up at the entrance |
|---------------o--------------o for a little over an hour and ended up |
| completely annihilating this boss. The |
| trick was equipping the Ascalon on Tidus for double AP, and then once |
| he completed his area of the Sphere Grid which didn't take long at all, |
| I used a Teleport Sphere to send him over to the end of Auron's section. |
| Near the end of Auron's section are so many Strength +4 Spheres that |
| combined with the ones he had Tidus was delaing 9999 damage per hit in no |
| time. Giving him Haste and using the Quick Hit skill on Ultima Weapon |
| was enough to take out half the boss' HP before anyone else even got a |
| turn. Ultima Weapon has some pretty powerful attacks, but since you're |
| approaching the two hardest bosses in the game you can feel free to use |
| those Mega-Potion, Mega Phoenix, and Megalixir items you've hopefully been |
| stocking. Lulu's Flare being Doublecasted is also a quick route to |
| victory as well, just make sure you save some items for the upcoming |
| Two things you may want to do, the first is steal from the boss to get |
| some Door to Tomorrow items, and the second is bribe the boss. Bribing |
| Ultima weapon is the easiest way to take on this fight, it costs a steep |
| 1,400,000 Gil but nets you 99 Pendulums. Well worth it. |

Step onto the warp panel to be brought to a new area. In this area there will
be a scripted fight each time you step onto a new platform. Run down two of
them to the West and open the chest to receive 'Friend Sphere.' Now go back
to the entrance and take the Northeast path. Follow it all the way down to
the very end, prepare before taking the upward slope to the coloured smoke.

| Boss: Omega Weapon | |
|---------------o--------------| Omega Weapon may not be the hardest boss if |
| HP: 99,999 | AP: 50,000 | you take into account all those original |
|---------------+--------------| creations at the battle arena, but he's by |
| MP: 1 | Gil: 30,000 | no means a pushover. I'll tell you now |
|---------------o--------------o that after that same hour - hour and a half |
| of leveling Omega Weapon was really no more |
| difficult than Ultima. In fact Omega Weapon reacts very similarly to |
| Ultima, most of his attacks do about the same amount of damage plus 1000, |
| and he's just got Ultima's HP plus 30,000 or so, and that might sound like |
| a huge difference, but if you have the ability to deal 9999 with Flare, |
| Overdrives or even just normal attacks it's only three turns right? Maybe |
| you're even got the ultimate weapons which can break the 9999 barrier, but |
| then you don't even need a strategy that's for sure. For the lower |
| leveled you may want to resort to Aeons here, pump up their stats with the |
| Aeon's Soul customization and come into battle with their Overdrives set |
| and Yuna ready for a Grand Summon. Tidus' Slice and Dice is a great way |
| to have him deal more than 9999 in a single turn, but the easiest setup |
| still remains to caste Hastega and use Quick Hit with both Tidus and |
| Auron. If Auron doesn't have quick hit give it to him by using one of the |
| Skill Spheres. Go nuts with your items, if you party gets hit with a |
| particularly devastating attack, don't hesitate to use Megalixirs and |
| other crazy stuff like that. This is Omega Weapon, he must be defeated! |
| One final note, be sure to take the time to swap Kimahri into your party, |
| by using Lancet he can learn his final Ronso Rage, Nova. |
