Ultima Weapon is a Triple Triad card in Final Fantasy VIII used to play the minigame and for turning into items with Quezacotl's Card Mod. Ultima Weapon is the seventy-seventh card in the inventory and the last Level 7 card. It depicts Ultima Weapon, an optional boss fought in the bottom if the Deep Sea Research Center bonus dungeon.
Ultima Weapon has pretty good values with two 7s and one 8, with only one weak side. Its value placements may also be useful for games that use Same and/or Plus.
Obtain[]
There is a 6.3% chance to get a Ultima Weapon card when successfully using the Card command on an Elastoid or a Tri-Face.
Any AI Triple Triad player who uses Level 7 cards has a chance of using Ultima Weapon in a play, from where the player can win it in a card match. One such card player is CC Heart of the Card Club. In the end of the game, all CC members besides Jack and Club will play with Level 7 cards when aboard the Ragnarok if the player completed the CC quest before the point of no return.
Card Mod[]
An Ultima Weapon card refines into an Ultima Stone with Quezacotl's Card Mod ability. It is a good item to have as it also becomes an Ultima spell with Bahamut's Forbidden Magic Refiner and no regular enemy has Ultima for draw. It is worthwhile to take all Ultima Weapon cards when they are on offer.
