Revision as of 19:29, 21 April 2008
Ultima Weapon, also known as Atma Weapon or Ultimate Weapon, is a recurring superboss in the Final Fantasy series. A quadripedal bio-mechanical monster, it often a weaker version of Omega Weapon but is still a very strong enemy in its own right. It is usually among the stronger storyline bosses, unlike Omega Weapon who is optional. Its name is shared with a powerful sword, Ultima Weapon.
Apperances
Final Fantasy II
Ultima Weapon appears in the Dawn of Souls remake and guards the ultimate magic Ultima. It has 15,000 HP and resists all forms of elemental attacks.
Final Fantasy VI
Originally translated as Atma Weapon, it guarded the passage to the Statues on the Floating Continent and was the strongest boss in the game at that point. In Kefka's Tower, the upgraded Atma appears. In the Advance release, the names Ultima Weapon and Ultima Buster are restored and the third incarnation Omega Weapon appears.
Final Fantasy VII
Ultimate Weapon is one of the five WEAPONs awakened by Sephiroth as a defense mechanism. Once the party acquires the airship Highwind, Ultimate Weapon flies around the skies and attacks the party by ramming them, but flees. It can eventually be fought and killed over Cosmo Canyon. It relinquishes Cloud's strongest sword, the Ultima Weapon.
Final Fantasy VIII
Ultima Weapon appears at the bottom of the Deep Sea Research Center in an excavation pit. The strongest Guardian Force Eden can be Drawn from it, as well as the spell Ultima. It is considerably weaker than Omega Weapon but still considered one of the hardest bosses in the game.
Final Fantasy X
Ultima Weapon is a byproduct of the creation of Omega Weapon from Omega's hatred of Yevon. He appears in the Omega Ruins and is the only boss who can be bribed.
Final Fantasy X-2
Ultima Weapon returns in the sequel, but this time as a regular enemy. It's interesting to note that Omega Weapon is actually weaker than Ultima Weapon this time around. The party can find Ultima Weapon in Via Infinato and can learn the Blue Bullet ability Super Nova. Template:Sec-stub
Final Fantasy XI
Ultima Weapon appears in Mission 6-2 and has 15,000 HP and high damage resistances. This incarnation is notably weaker than other Ultima Weapons, able to fit on the deck of an airship. In another break of tradition, Ultima Weapon is actually stronger than Omega Weapon instead of the other way around.
Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales
Ultima Weapon appears in Chocobo Tales as one of the five hidden promo cards.
Etymology
Ultima Weapon's name may either be derived from Ultimate or the spell Ultima, either of which implies great power, which is apt. Its Weapon moniker comes from the Weapon-type enemy which are usually among the stronger enemies encounters.
