Final Fantasy VII - Ruby Weapon Solo Battle

"ruby weapon solo battle" average gamer: wow this is impressive ff7 veteran: we all know that this fight is harder with more than 1 team member

[@CHodor187]

So surprised about this KZbin video that I clicked to see if anyone made a comment about what I was just thinking. Here you are!

[@saltynamekian1514]

As a real ff7 veteren no this battle isnt hard solo its easier. Bread a gold chocobo. Then max out elixer with w-item glitch. Then master counter and mime. Kill your party and max your limit guage before the battle. Use elixer then omnislash upon entering. If you get hit you will answer with an elixer then omnislash 78 hits of 9999 to be exact. Thats if you hit lvl 99 or use items in battle to max stats. This fight is not hard at all.

[@saltynamekian1514]

Btw the gold chocobo is so you can get mime. Maybe counter cant remember. Been awhile. Another pro tip. Set your save point at the end in the second area that has movers where you can enter and re-enter the area. This will prevent the missing latter glitch in sephiroths cave.

[@kineasmehdou6002]

4:20 Ban-Kai!!

[@sk-xg7re]

@@saltynamekian1514 stop lying bruv, ruby got the highest def in the game with 350+ which impossible to hit 9999 except u crit. So u should witem elixir and hero drink 4x times then omnislash mime.

[@shadowamigo9506]

year 2016, with all advance in graphic for games, i still think that omnislash is dope as fuck holy shit

Same, with that being said though I'm looking forward to seeing it in Remake

Eeeeeeeekkkkkkkk

[@KingLies]

I was literally terrified of this boss when I was a kid. I would shit myself and hide behind the sofa if I accidentally bumped into the red worm in the desert.

[@Onmysheet]

Same for me with the underwater weapon. lol

[@Magic_Ice]

Me with Emerald Weapon

[@rudybergmans9011]

for me it was the boss underwater, everytime i happen to bump into him i shit my pants.. literally.

[@gollumnova4893]

*Emerald is my nightmare, cause i beat her without Underwater Materia or KOTR,* *I fought Ruby with KOTR and Mime Omnislash , it was'nt funny ☹*

[@calirific3503]

For me hero drink

[@Rilyn666]

I admire anyone who has a time and patience to go through this.....

[@rickygames6646]

I recently did it with an unleveled knights of the round paired with HP absorb, hades, mime and an HP plus Materia. He barely got to attack and was dead within minutes.

[@SurgicalShogun]

That was amazing. I’ve never defeated Ruby and you just went and solo’d it. I’m jealous.

[@SonAviel]

Most hardest thing I've done FF7 wise

[@MandingoV2]

You’re supposed to solo it. Having all 3 party members makes the fight harder

[@robbygunawijaya6025]

Theres another way to solo ruby. And more simple

[@brotherben4357]

That’s the only way to defeat him.

[@iceman4208]

Are u serious ruby is easy

[@WhoisEli]

For using counter/mime, it will repeat the last command that was used. For instance Omnislash, when you use it the first time, next battle command select mime, and Cloud will use Omnislash again and again, until you select a different command....this strategy worked perfect when I defeated Emerald weapon.

[@iceman4208]

Also kills ruby

[@WhoisEli]

@@iceman4208 I seen someone beat Ruby using Lucky 7's.

[@shafaf0]

both ruby weapon and emerald weapon were a nightmare to me , I never thought that there was a way to beat them , and here some master player bested them like a BOSS , good job man

[@joelherzog2931]

You can beat both in 1 Hit

[@iceman4208]

Ikr 😅😂

[@freedom8480]

​@joelherzog2931 yeah, if you we're "lucky" 😅

[@kirkclarke7396]

Lucky 7s will deal about half a million damage

[@ChaoticCreation]

Why does Hero Drink sound like the lost souls in hell screaming through cyberspace?

[@PontusHultgren]

Never did beat this son-of-a-submariner... One day, one day.

[@MarxasThomas]

vargo hoat really in frog statue? Freaking he'll man!

[@mr.voidout4739]

Saw your comment two years later here... Any luck yet? :D

[@saltynamekian1514]

Use counter paired with mime its the best materia combo when you open with a limit. From there everytime you get hit you counter with mime. Copying the players last action. You can pair 4 i beleive so if you get hit you answer with a limit 4 times in a row.

[@chaosstorm8307]

You can auto kill Ruby without pushing a button 😂 2 final attack KOR combos. 1 final attack revive combo. HP plus and hpmp. And a ribbon. There's a KZbin channel called 4-8 productions that came up with it. I'm about to try it myself, I've heard others say it works in his comments but I want the satisfaction of doing it myself.

[@chaosstorm8307]

Also make sure to Max stats if you don't you might want to add another final attack revive combo, or kor will not be able to kill him in 10 turns.

[@-finntheender-8438]

Hero Drink? More like ear-rape.

[@KING0SISQO]

Imagine if cloud was a boss and all his magic is mastered 👀

[@SonAviel]

I actually don't recommend this way because it took HOURS maxing out some of the stats I needed to win this battle. I say the usual Dazer on the boss + Magic Hammer is fine.

[@RedaHaskouri]

imagine this .. in Final Fantasy VII REMAKE 2018 ... pppsssssssssssss

[@Dovah21]

I imagine fighting the super bosses in the VII remake will be like fighting Adamantoise in XV, only harder.

[@Roksana-gy1ek]

@@Dovah21 adamantoise is long not hard. Pink jade gar IS Hard as hell beat omega from royal edition and still can't beat pink jade gar.

[@EqualsThreeable]

Yeah but there won’t be a W-Item glitch so good luck. You’ll have to farm for those hero drinks and elixirs.

@@fabiofilippstheodoro5093 Ironically you fight a Jenova fragment in the remake and it is already nightmare fuel so yeah Hojo gonna be scarier

[@DrHayfever]

Materia was such a good fighting system..❤ the combos the choices.

[@SonAviel]

Both match up very nicely, and one thing I did learn after doing this video is that Hero Potions have a max value..... they increase Str/Def/Mag Atk./Mag Def by 30% so I used WAYY more than 4 haha.

[@darkdrgn000]

Awesome fight. The most anticlimax reward ever. You need a gold to get what you need to beat him and is reward is another gold. Bragging rights only with ruby

[@SonAviel]

I think Ruby is harder but Emerald has higher HP.

[@zachhoffman4952]

Gooseybumps, this was my childhood. Still waiting on that promised remake!

[@Gaming4U2be]

Whoa! Looking at this vid makes me wonder how I even beat Ruby so many years ago? I forgot how insanely hard he was and I remember I was upset I got just one desert rose. lol Regardless this fight was so freaken awesome! Way different strategy from me and you've kicked his ass perfectly. Great video man, thanks for sharing. Subscribed.

This is the kind of fight that you have to plan your day around

[@lillotion2944]

Imagine riding a chocobo and you see a red crystal monster

[@NeobieYT]

Probably my least favorite thing in this entire game is the Hero Drink sound effect. That just goes to show how good this game is.

[@Deltamedic68w]

Nicely done. Risked a 33% chance of utter failure and could have easily used X Potions in place of Elixirs, but still, very nicely done.

[@Goldmight]

basically in order to win give cloud steroids.

[@cecrewhuhu6408]

Must of been a very big grind my bro!!! Nice job bro

[@SonAviel]

[@MaleOrderBride]

I like how you kinda forgot where you parked the Highwind after finishing that epic battle haha

[@SonAviel]

You don't understand. I was here reloading from game overs for a few hours before I won. I had zero sense of where anything was in game after.

[@gaddammitkyle]

Right at 7:08 I thought you were screwed until I remembered Final Attack existed

[@SonAviel]

Funny story... I actually forgot I had it paired the whole time!

[@gaddammitkyle]

I was going "oh no, Ruby got the last hit in -Phoenix Flame- OHHHH GODDDDD WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~~~~"

[@MissesWitch]

It's amazing the approach you took to solo this! I remember just being like: Knights of Round Mime Mime Mime Mime. That was the solution I came up with ^ ^ As a seven-year old that is!

[@nikopteros1659]

you change the name of Cloud? that's a fucking sin XD

Nicolas Roman Segura if i can change names i usually change them to fit people in my personal life... it's not a sin, it's called immersion.

[@nikopteros1659]

Vincent Zero dude it was a joke its just that the names of the character are important at least for me i don't want that Crono from !CHRONO! trigger for example its named ALFREDITO or goku or something like that but its ok if you like to put names its prefectly ok i just was trying to be funny

[@phantelm5601]

I remember doing the game once without help, then again with help got and beat everything I the game. Was such a classic. Love this, ff8, ff10 and ff12. And currently loving FF7 remake although just doing the lineal stuff at the mo.

[@SonAviel]

I veer off a lot in Remake lol

An endless 800,000 HP.

One of the hardest FF bosses in the universe. My first go through took me an hour to beat him.

[@69ridlah]

That is the most beautiful thing I ever saw 😍 Bravo 👏🏼

[@DoobyShoo]

The fact you can tell this is legit ps1 because of the noise in omnislash when the Ultima weapon gets charged

[@paulbotello1289]

[@voidsphere5958]

I have Final Fantasy 7 right now this year

[@TheVeryAngryShrimp]

Ruby Weapon is like "bITCH GET THE /FUCK/ OUTTA HERE WITH THAT MOTHAFUKKIN CHOCOBO STEPPING ON MY SHIT LIKE THAT"

[@hart4bbq]

I have FF7 remake but this video makes me want to play the original again Ruby and Emerald weapon are Epic ! I wonder how they wil look in the remake .

[@Darkman1233]

Stun+hero potion+omnislash. But What your doing is slightly better. The attack item to stun him is in the area just before flower girl kicks the bucket.

[@Unforgiven1975]

I usually do Ruby solo with Cloud... 2 x Master Summon paired with HP Absorb and MP absorb 1 x KOTR MP5 Every KOTR cast Cloud is insta healed back to full hp/mp - mime over n over... Occasionally an ultima+ruby ray gets thru & kills u but not often (which then final attack revive brings you back). Ruby flame is absorbed by elemental fire in armour. Only real essential is the ribbon as ruby ray can petrify (which you would use 90% of the time anyways).

[@alster724]

Emerald may have higher HP but Ruby has higher Defense. Emerald -> 180 Safer Sephiroth -> 100-260 (if party is level 99) Cloud and party -> 255 max per character Ruby -> 480

[@graemelawrence82]

Easiest way I found was equipping Knights of the round with hp absorb. Having w-summon with everyone using mimic.

[@Literallyheretotalkshi]

This was my strat too 👊

[@gigas81]

Whether or not he used the Hero Drink, it still takes a long time. Whether or not you use your party later in the battle to assist, it still takes a long time. Ruby Weapon is a bastard plain and simple. :P

[@moguri82]

Let me suggest a new faster combo with 4x-cut, full cure and counter-mime. Please tell me your opinion about my speedrun in 6:20 (or 4:35 with lucky 7).

[@andrewneighbours879]

I used Vincent with Mug and as he's attacking with that use KOTR with Cloud and MP Absorb. It skips the KOTR animation. 6 turns using that and he's done. I used Cid with w-item to use Dazers on Ruby and hero drinks/elixirs when needed.

[@joshuabrien2970]

where do you get hero drinks at

[@SonAviel]

+Joshua Brien Since you can't buy them, hold on to the three (or four ) you find in the game and duplicate them with the W-Item glitch. I learned that you don't need them so much for this boss but they help a ton.

[@joshuabrien2970]

[@trivialmax]

The best way to beat ol' Ruby was use the Hades summon first. He would freeze for two or three rounds then use Hades again when he moved.

[@kevinwozniak3308]

A much easier way. As soon as he buries his claws, revive or Phoenix down the other 2 members. Make sure 1 person has Hades and KOTR with W-summon and someone else has mime. Double summon and mime. He won't even get a hit off past his first one.

[@its_yaya5782]

I wonder what this thing will look like in the remake?

[@aznnp77]

Is it weird that I beat this game 25 years ago but have no clue how to play it anymore? I think I actually beat the Ruby Weapon, but I never beat the Emerald Weapon. I beat the game with the 2X blade only.

[@sammeh420uk4]

Really wana go back and play this again. I’d maxed everything, beaten everything and done everything there was to do. However I was like 12 when I did it all and now I’m 35 I’m feeling like I wana go back and do it all over again.

[@mr.voidout4739]

W-summon + mime.

[@Azure30]

Its been awhile but pretty sure you just pair Counter with Mime, and KotR with HP Absorb. Then you literally just summon KotR to start the fight (with your other two party members pre-emptively KO'd) and put the controller down, go make yourself a sandwich, you've won.

[@supers0nic77]

I also did it with 1 team member but it took forever and a half. I only had limit attacks. This is the switch version where the gage is always full. Even so I only survived because my health was maxed out and Ruby ran out of mp.

[@frozenfusion6072]

I used this strategy to beat Ruby. How did I withstand that ungodly sound with the hero drinks?

[@RysieX267]

W-Summon KOTR + hp drain, counter + mime. Just stay, relax and watch.

[@SonAviel]

I incorporated a stun technique in a solo attempt but it lasted only for a turn. I thought "wtf?" so it just made things draw out longer until I died lol. I thought more of countering than anything else too.

[@victorsabate7735]

So, did you use the Getsuga Tensho?

[@SonAviel]

Yes, but it was misspelled as "Omnislash" or some crap like that.

[@overkill_716]

Huge fan of FF and hidden superbosses! Still never played 7, what else is there besides the weapons??

[@SonAviel]

Aaron Klein Only Ultimate, Ruby and Emerald weapons. Emerald and Ruby are very hard, definitely 10x harder than the final boss.
