Final Fantasy VII/Weapons

Cloud Strife - Apocalypse and Ultima Weapon To obtain Ultima Weapon, you must progress to Disc 3. Ultimate Weapon, an optional boss, should be hovering over a lake in a large crater where you find Yuffie (the Junon area, in the forest shadowed by mountains beside a river). To get Cloud's ultimate weapon, you must defeat this boss. To engage in battle, simply board the Highwind and ram the monster, whose Hit Points average out to about 40,000. After the first fight is over, Ultimate Weapon will take flight - tail him. Eventually, the pansy will stop, and you repeat the ram-battle process. This process may have to be repeated several times, but not to worry - if your characters are leveled up enough, something any moron would be able to manage by Disc 3, you shouldn't have any problems. Also, a tip for people too stupid to figure out on their own: When Ultimate Weapon pauses over a location, before you ram him, press the Menu button and go to the Operations Room of the Highwind. Heal your party and restore their HP/MP before each fight for free and without using any Tents. The final battle with Ultimate Weapon will take place once he pauses over the area between the Ancient Forest and Cosmo Canyon. Take him out, but beware - he uses Shadow Flare as a last maneuver. Having HP Plus Materia on would be an excellent choice during this fight, as well as long-range brawlers like Barret and Vincent. AP galore, and you've scored Ultima Weapon AND access to the Ancient Forest, as well, host to all sorts of goodies like Typoon materia and Cloud's "Apocalypse" sword, which has triple growth. Also, check one Weapon off your list, but don't get cocky - if you haven't defeated Emerald or Ruby Weapon yet, you still suck.

Tifa Lockheart - God's Hand and Premium Heart Our favorite big-boobed heroine is looking for a glove. There are two which are considered the best of these - "God's Hand" and the "Premium Heart," which sounds like a Black Market discount, but, whatever. Anyway, the way to obtain God's Hand is after the battle with the Carry Armor, that thing that Reno sicks on you and grabs your characters, a real pain in the ass, unless you own up on it with Bolt 3 or Ramuh. After you kick its ass, your next stop is a Shinra sub. Before that, though, check the docks. There should be a treasure chest containing God's Hand. The other, Premium Heart, takes a little more frustration. You see, you have to go back to Wall Market to get it, but before you can, you have to go to Bone Village and dig up the Sector Key. Hope you saved up your Gil, because you're in for anywhere between fifteen to sixty minutes of digging shit up. I found the key on the upper level, but the location might vary. Anyway, once you've got it, head back to Midgar and go to Wall Market. Remember that smarmy machine in the Items Shop that shot at you? Go back in there and collect the 'Heart.
