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. | The other two members of your party should be down.

For example, it is quite possible to cause, for example, 80,000 damage per Knights of Round spell for a relatively high level party. So, using the combination above, they would cause 160,000 damage per turn, and per counter attack, and the caster would be healed for 16,000 HP every time. Even with Ruby's Ultima spell counter-attack, the healing effect should allow most parties to pass WEAPON with (relative) ease. | For example, it is quite possible to cause, for example, 80,000 damage per Knights of Round spell for a relatively high level party.

* Regen, Haste, and Wall (or even faster, Regen and the "Mighty Guard" Enemy Skill) are useful. | |||
* | * With three Mimic materia it is possible to defeat the Ruby Weapon with all 3 of your characters (greatly increasing the materia growth from the battle). To do this, be sure to equip Final Attack-Phoenix on two characters (including the character who starts the fight), and W-Summon '''Knights of the Round (KR)''' and Hades, followed by Mimics over and over. At least once during the fight Ruby will likely respond with Ultima, so be sure the character with Phoenix is always ready to go, but be sure to not equip ANY Counter Attack materia. | ||
* Using the [[Final Fantasy VII/Glitches and errors#Bugs and glitches|W-Item bug]], get yourself 99 Dazers (Dazers can be dropped from Boundfats in Corral Valley). This item paralyzes one enemy, and surprisingly Ruby Weapon isn't immune to paralysis. Simply start the fight with a dazer, and hit him with whatever you want until he moves again, then simply hit him with another dazer, repeat until he dies. | * Using the [[Final Fantasy VII/Glitches and errors#Bugs and glitches|W-Item bug]], get yourself 99 Dazers (Dazers can be dropped from Boundfats in Corral Valley).

* Solo Cloud strategy: set cloud up with the following Materia W-Summon, KR->HP Absorb, Quad magic->Hades, Mime, Final attack->Revive (just in case). Before the fight kill off your other team members and don't revive them, enter the battle with ruby, use w-summon and cast Hades followed by KR, (Hades will stop him and his fingers) and then mime the combination, should take about 6 turn is KR does around 9000 damage per hit, if your struggling for damage add MP+ materia. | |||
* Equip the Apocalypse Sword with any materia you want to grow (mime is a good choice) as it will triple the massive amount of AP you earn for defeating Ruby Weapon. | |||
