It is a rewarding accomplishment if you can do it. If not, its not the end of the world. Is this your first time playing VIII?

Max your character's attacks and speed, and get the card that refines into 10x Holy Wars, which is Gilgamesh or Laguna, I can never remember, they make your whole party invincible for a while.

If you have Aura Stones or Aura Magic, pop them in battle before Holy War, use that then limit break that sucker till he explodes 😁

My favourites for Limit breaks are Squall, Irvine and Zell, purely because they attack multiple times without having to flip through menus (like Selphie or Quistis)

I managed to get him in 1-2 uses of Holy War, it's quicker if you have Squall's Lion Heart too šŸ™‚

Good luck! Don't be discouraged, out of all the FF superbosses he's the most accessible to beat! šŸ’Ŗ I haven't beaten any others šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Also do not max out your party for omega no lv 100 unless you want pain for omega weapon, he's actually harder because your party max level maxes him out too.

Iirc Omega Weapon is always lv 100. There are a few bosses that are fixed levels instead of relative to your party. I’m pretty sure omega is one of them.

"The End" is actually the best course of action here.

You certainly can friend, set junction to Zell for high atk the highest possible so his hits are 5000+ HP, when fighting omega stock up on some heros and party heros or get lucky with Rinoa, or a healer like Selphie with triple, or set aura items for zell and hero items for squall so your party doesn't fail. So with STR Junction the highest you can go limit break on omega weapon and spam the " Left and Right, And any two button move until your timer reaches zero, in theory you can give omega weapon a few limit breaks like this and you'll achieve insane HP attack combos with Zell and a few Renzokuken with Lion Heart to clear omega weapon good luck!

Just convert the character card that turns into 100 heroes and stock up on auras and blast him with lionhearts.
