Requirements for ResurrectionEdit
Saint Ajora Glabados, the founder of the corrupt Church of Glabados, serves as her host body. Ultima was killed 1,200 years before the time of Final Fantasy Tactics, and the goal of the other Lucavi, led by Hashmal in her absence, is to resurrect her. Once that is done, the Lucavi will have no need of auracite or the vessels they inhabit and they'll be able to come and go as they please.
First, Ultima needs to use a person as a host body. The only suitable host body is Ramza Beoulve's younger sister, Alma. Second, the only location Ultima can be resurrected at is the Airship Graveyard in the Necrohol of Mullonde. To get there, the Lucavi must use a portal hidden in Orbonne Monastery.
Finally, as her title Angel of Blood implies, the resurrection requires a grand amount of blood be shed. The Lucavi use the Glabados Church's influence to evoke the War of the Lions for this very purpose. Hashmal still discovers this has not resulted in enough bloodshed, and is forced to take his own life to complete the ritual.
At the Graveyard of AirshipsEdit
- "Your soul itself shall not escape my wrath!"
- —Ultima, the Arch Seraph
No sooner has Ultima resurrected, than Alma's will breaks free and separates from her. She tells her brother Ramza, who has just fought Hashmal, to attack Ultima, but before he can do so, Ultima summons four Ultima Demons and transforms into a powerful demonic form reminiscent of a succubus. In her first form, Ultima is able to use several powerful attacks including a version of Ultima that is more powerful than Ramza's; Alma and Ramza cannot learn this version, although they can learn their version from the Ultima Demons.
After enough damage has been inflicted on Ultima, she transforms into a giant skeletal monstrosity. This form of Ultima is even more powerful, packs more Hit Points and can cast more powerful spells like Divine Ultima, her most powerful move, and Grand Cross, which causes a plethora of status effects, including the possibility of Petrify. When this form is defeated, Ultima gathers up even more power in a last ditch effort to preserve her life, but only ends up causing a tremendous explosion, which destroys the Airship Graveyard.
Ultima's first form is level 56 with 70 Bravery and Faith, and has roughly 1400 HP and 480 MP. She is immune to all negative statuses except Disable, Blind, and Slow, and has access to the Arcane Magick and Chaos commands, as well as the abilities Brawler, Master Teleportation, and Absorb MP. In her final form, she is level 66 with 70 Bravery and 60 Faith, and has roughly 3235 HP and 450 MP.
She comes with Divine Magicks and Divine Providence, as well as Faith Boost, Brawler, Master Teleportation, and Swiftness. She is immune to all negative statuses except Slow and Immobilize. Both forms have permanent Float, which makes Ultima immune to Earth-based attacks, and also increases her height by 1 more than where she is standing (if she's standing on a height 1, she is actually on height 2).

Musical ThemesEdit

| Altima, the Perfect Body | |
|  |
| Trouble with the audio sample? | |
"Altima, the Perfect Body" is the final boss theme from Final Fantasy Tactics, though was renamed "Heartless Hellion" in the PSP port, The War of the Lions.
It radically differs from "Altima, the Nice Body", which is used during the first half of the battle, when Ultima is in her humanoid "High Seraph" form. When Ultima transforms into her monstrous "Arch Seraph" form, this song starts. The song gives the sense of destruction and doom, especially with the final few notes prior to the repeat.
