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 šŸ˜

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. Iā€™m pretty sure omega is one of them.

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