How to unlock the Omega Destroyed achievement

    I tried killing Omega Weapon a few different ways but nothing was really working for me until I found out about the item Holy Wars. Holy Wars makes your entire team invincible - I don't know if there is a time limit to its effect however it provided enough time to use battle boosters to deal with this enemy. You can refine Holy Wars from the Gilgamesh card. I also junctioned Death to status effect magic because sometime this enemy gets off the Lvl 5 attack pretty quickly.

    Dr MartyDude, this makes it so easy. The other solution doesn't help at all.

    SirCryptThis is a very tough boss. The Holy War is pretty much the best way to do this, but you still need to be tough to kill it within a Holy War or 2.

    Once you have defeated all of the preamble bosses to Ultimecia and regained your abilities, you need to return to the Gallery and ring the bell at the bottom of the staircase. You will then have 1 minute to get to the Chapel where Omega will be waiting - you’ll previously have seen a portal in the room when passing it earlier. Simply run into him to engage in the fight.

    There are hundreds of guides that will provide strategies for owning him legitimately, but if you purely want the achievement and not the glory, you need to do just a few things:

    Firstly, you need a party of three with 9,999hp (you can technically do without, but it’s easier/safer to have them). Ideally, if you want to go on brainless mode, they will also have high strength stats.

    Secondly, you need to have no elemental junctions to their attacks due to Omega’s resistance.

    Finally, put the game on Triple Speed and Easy Fight Mode and spam the thing with physical attacks until it is dead. In the fight mode you will always be healed after getting hit, so don’t need to worry about anything. It is possible he can still wipe your entire party with an insta-kill attack, so having set up for the Phoenix GF may be helpful too.

    FoogaDefinitely don’t need 9999 hp. If he’s gonna kill you there’s really nothing you can do lol especially if you’re 100. I recommend using the Phoenix Pinion for this fight, since it’s one time use. Even though it heals him (since it’s magic), it brings your entire party back and then has a chance to bring you back again after that. It popped up for me twice which really saves you, since even with spamming Limit Breaks he’ll still get about 3 attacks off throughout the fight.

    x1001x PuppysIn response to the above comment, the reason you want 9,999 HP is to survive Megido Flame, it deals 9,998 damage to the party. It is one less insta-kill off the menu. If your party members have a level divisible by 5, junction 100 Death on ST-Def-J and that's another insta-kill off the menu, leaving just Shining Flare or whatever that will kill you no matter what. Great advice on the Phoenix Pinion; it saved my life. Another good piece of advice is to throw a Hero item on one of your party members in anticipation of Shining Flare, I believe it is the only thing in the game that can save you from it (correct me if wrong). Shining Flare always comes after Ultima. This Omega Weapon did not disappoint, really gave me a run for my money at level 79-87. Only other advice I can give is turning your cards into useful stuff, one of them gave 100 megalixers and you best believe I used a large portion of them haha.

    L Davies7Bit late to the party but I just found that limit breaks stop all timers completely so if you use rinoa squall and quistis ideally, you can just use holy war (just to be safe) click it into easy mode and just spam limits quickly and not only will holy war never end. Omega won't be able to attack.
