Once defeated, Ultimate Weapon will crash into the ground and explode, leaving a large crater, which allows passage to the Ancient Forest by foot.

- —Ultima Weapon's bestiary description.
Ultima Weapon returns in the sequel, but this time as a regular enemy. It's interesting to note that Omega Weapon is actually weaker than Ultima Weapon this time around. The party can find Ultima Weapon in Via Infinito or in the Ruin Depths and can learn the Blue Bullet ability Supernova.
Ultima Weapon's roots are referenced in the game's Bestiary, which states not to call him "Atma".

EtymologyEdit
Ultima Weapon's name may either be derived from the word Ultimate or the spell Ultima, either of which implies great power, which is apt. Its Weapon moniker comes from the Weapon-type enemy, which are usually among the stronger enemies encounters.
