Final Fantasy VII/Enemy Weapons

Ruby Weapon is an optional boss that shows up in the Corel Desert around the Gold Saucer, once Ultima Weapon is defeated on CD 2 or 3. To fight it, you need to steer the airship to the red thing that sticks out of the sand. But be well prepared.

General things
To defeat Ruby Weapon, here is a general list of the items you will need:


 * The fight nets a ridiculous amount of AP, which you should take advantage of. Preferrably, use a weapon with triple growth, loaded with materia. (Scimitar for Cid, or the Apocalypse for Cloud). Use double growth weapons if these aren't available. Otherwise, go for the best equipment armor and weapon wise.
 * Final Attack-Revive combination.
 * Hades, Knights of the Round, and Mime Materia Mastered. W-Summon and Master Summon Materia is useful here.
 * Plenty of Elixirs.
 * Omnislash or any other multi-hitting limits help here too.
 * Lots and lots of patience.

Strategies
The other two members of your party should be down. Ruby Weapon will otherwise use the Quicksand attack, which will remove two members of your party from the battle. Just kill them off before hand and keep it a one on one battle.

Ruby Weapon is not immune to Stop, so start off with casting Hades.
