Omega Weapon (Final Fantasy VIII)

Omega Weapon is an optional boss in Final Fantasy VIII. Generally regarded as the toughest boss in the game, it is hidden within Ultimecia's Castle.

Battle
To fight Omega, one team must ring a large bell which activates a short timer, and the other team must locate Omega Weapon before the timer runs out. After Omega Weapon is encountered, the timer is lifted and the player has as much time as they need to defeat the monster.

Its attacks include the Lv5 Death, which is an instant death attack to characters with a level multipliable by 5. Megido Flame is an attack on all targets that causes 9,998 HP damage. Light Pillar instead causes 9,999 HP but only to one target. Terra Break causes multiple physical hits for 5000+ damage each. They can be nullified with the Defend command.

At level 100 Omega Weapon has more than 1 million HP. It is always at level 100 in the PSX version of the game, but can be any level in the PC version. After defeating iy, the player receives a Proof of Omega that is accessible in the help/tutorial section of the game menu. The Proof of Omega congratulates the player for defeating Final Fantasy VIII's toughest boss and is a sign showing complete mastery of FFVIII's battle system.

Proof of Omega
The Proof of Omega is a Key Item in Final Fantasy VIII. It is awarded to the party after they defeat the Omega Weapon in Ultimecia's Castle. Like the Omega Badge in Final Fantasy V before, and the Mark of Conquest in Final Fantasy X after, it has no real purpose except to prove that this particular player has defeated the toughest enemy in the game.
