The Ultimate Weapon of Final Fantasy VII is one of the five Weapons created by the Planet as a defense mechanism and released from their slumber in the Northern Cave.
Ultimate Weapon is optional other than the Mideel battle, but is worth fighting for the prizes it holds.

Storyline Battle in Mideel
Edit
Ultimate is the second Weapon encountered after the storyline sequence featuring the Sapphire Weapon. He attacks the village of Mideel while Cloud is recovering in the village clinic and Cid's party is forced to fight it. After only a couple of rounds, Ultimate Weapon will flee and fly away. If the party is fast, they can steal a Curse Ring from it before it flees.
Optional BossEdit
Added by TenzaZangetsuFinding Ultimate WeaponEdit
After Diamond Weapon's defeat, and with the party in control of the Highwind, Ultimate Weapon can be found above the water-filled crater near Junon. After the initial battle, it will fly away and the party is forced to chase it across the globe with the airship. Depending on where the player fights it, the battle will either be a ground battle or an aerial battle. Repeatedly ramming into it with the Highwind will eventually cause it to fly straight toward a particular location and stop - it usually takes around four hits to get it to settle a location. Ultimate Weapon can only be defeated in Cosmo Canyon - he will flee from every other battle. It is possible to steal a new item from him every time he is encountered: Reflect Ring in the ground battles, and Circlet in the aerial battles.
The following locations result in a ground battle:
The following locations result in an aerial battle:
When Ultimate Weapon escapes his HP does not recover, and when it finally reaches 20,000 he will head to Cosmo Canyon. This is where it can be defeated; if the player has reduced its HP to anything lower than 20,000 in the previous battle it will automatically be restored to 20,000 for the last fight. Exploiting this, it is possible to make Ultimate Weapon head straight for Cosmo Canyon after the first battle, if the party hits it with Knights of the Round.
BattleEdit
Ultima Beam is Ultimate Weapon's strongest attack apart from the Shadow Flare it uses as a final attack. The Ultima Beam is the only offensive attack in the game that is of the Hidden element; by placing a mastered Elemental Materia in a character's armor, and linking it with certain non-elemental Materia, one can absorb the damage. Ultimate's other attacks include Bolt Ball, which, despite its name, is a Fire-elemental attack. During aerial battles Ultimate Weapon can only be attacked via long range weapons, so the player can equip the Long Range Materia to anyone who is not wielding a ranged weapon. If they do not have a long ranged weapon or a Long Range Materia they can use magic, summons and Limit Breaks.
DefeatEdit
Upon death, Ultimate Weapon will cast Shadow Flare on the character that dealt the killing blow, making this boss one of the few sources of the Shadow Flare enemy skill. Shadow Flare is fairly strong and if the character dies when it hits, the enemy skill will not be learned. However, if the spell is reflected it can be learned without taking any damage.
When defeated, Ultimate Weapon crashes to the ground creating a large crater that allows the party access to the Ancient Forest without the aid of a chocobo.
Following defeat, Cloud Strife receives his strongest sword, the Ultima Weapon, and the party is able to encounter Ruby Weapon in the sands surrounding the Gold Saucer.

TriviaEdit
- Ultimate Weapon's size in the game is inconsistent: when it is first seen in the FMV the Weapons escape the crater, Ultimate Weapon is shown as enormous, much bigger than the party's airship. However, when it is encountered later, Ultimate Weapon is smaller.
