Omega Weapon Location
In "Final Fantasy VIII," the Omega Weapon is waiting in the Altemisia Castle. After you defeat the eight bosses prior to the castle scene, you walk down a spiral stairway and activate a bell. Although it says you have one minute to find Omega Weapon, it's really 50 seconds because of a 10-second delay at the start. Head to the fountain area where a second switch is located. Activate that switch, and head north where the Omega Weapon awaits.
Omega Weapon Facts
- Has seven known attacks: Death, Meteor, Megido Flame, Demi (reduces the protagonists' hit points to one-fourth their level), Mega Death, Terra Break, and Light Pillar.
- First attack may be Death, so it is important to have all characters at 9,999 hit points before the battle begins.
- The Omega Weapon should not be confused with the Ultimate Weapon, which has a similar look and attack scheme.
- Squall is essential to the fight. His Limit Break attack, if used repeatedly, can defeat Omega Weapon.
