Jade Weapon (ジェイドウェポン) is an enemy in the Weapon Mode of Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-.
Chronologically the first of the Planet's Weapon to be awakened from beneath the ice. The Jade WEAPON possesses approximately 3,000,000 HP.

Around 200 meters in length, the Weapon generates a dark mist as it moves, enabling the Player Turks to track it through a radar system that tracks the mist.

StoryEdit

Following the defeat of Zirconiade, the Player Turks go into hiding across the Planet; retiring to Midgar, Junon, Costa del Sol, Cosmo Canyon, Icicle Inn, and Wutai. Unbeknownst to them, as Zirconiade had been summoned the Planet had awakened one of its Weapons to deal with the threat. However, because the Turks were successful in defeating Zirconiade before the WEAPON's arrival the WEAPON no longer had a purpose. Instead of returning to sleep, the WEAPON started to consider the Turks a threat due to their defeat of Zirconiade and how, technically, they had destroyed what was a large part of the Planet’s ecology.
A number of weeks afterwards, Veld, calls the Player Turks to inform them that the WEAPON has now hunting them.

Given an advanced radar system on their PHS to track and hunt the Jade WEAPON in turn and learning that the dark mist that the Weapon generates and surrounds itself with could only be penetrated by the light given from various Materia Pillars across the Planet, the Turks first locate these pillars to enable themselves to do battle against the Weapon.

Coming to a location covered in mist, the Weapon is supported by various oval-like constructs which the Turks battle while the Weapon attempts to bombard them from above. After numerous hunts and battles across the Planet, the Turks finally manage to destroy the WEAPON and return to their respective lives in exile.

BattleEdit

The location for the fight with the Jade WEAPON corresponds with the player's location in Japan. (eg. if the player is playing the game in Tokyo, they shall find and fight the WEAPON in Midgar)

Upon defeating the clusters, the WEAPON will retreat and disappears to another part of the Planet to do battle with another Turk. After nine battles at each location, the Jade WEAPON is defeated.

TriviaEdit

• When a Turk has been defeated and captured by the Jade Weapon, a new mode, known as WEAPON-D mode, becomes available. Similar to RESCUE mode, WEAPON-D mode consists of a Turk being taken to another dimension by the Weapon where, by fighting their way through a number of enemies including Golems and a shadow version of themselves, the Turk is able to rescue their captured colleague and return to the normal world.
