ANTINORM RULES
===============
- No Summoning Espers
- No Ultima Weapon
Ultima Weapon is pretty vicious and was one of the more memorable monsters people used Vanish/Doom against to skip. But that glitch is non-existent anymore and it is also not fun either. Using Gau and Cyan (the former is hard to use and the latter people said he was the worst character) has allowed me to crush this fiend in mere minutes.
PLAN
=====
He comes in 3 phases. The first phase he will use Flare and Physical whacks against you and sometimes Blaze.
The Second phase he opens up with Bio, Meteor or Quake (the 3rd one is the reason I started getting non Gaia users off the ground). If you dont get out of this phase fast enough, he will begin charging for Flare Star while buffed under Protect/Shell/Haste.
The final phase he gets desperate and begins using Rasp, Tornado and Graviga to bust up your allies. He then counters most of his attacks with Flare.
Start by Slowing the beast and getting anyone not using a Gaia Gear off the ground with Float. Then unleash your relentless assault.
If you have Gaia Gears, a cheap strategy to have Gau be the ultima healer is use Litwor Chicken (Quake) to mass heal for 1500. If this isn't your fancy, Bomb or Grenade (Blaze) can absorb 3 of Ultima's attacks.
If you got any Fuma Shuriken from the Ninjas, throw them for high damage. Try to steal his Ribbon if you can (Rare Steal).
After this battle, Shadow will leave the party, he will rejoin if you wait for him at the last 4 seconds.
