Final Fantasy VII: Ruby Weapon Lucky 7s

[kimbathelionfan32]

941,017 damage total. Nice.

[BiteMyTongue1]

does anyone kno how to get to 7677 hp without needing something the average gamer cant get

[Namord]

how many times does "All Lucky 7s" hit?

[ghal416]

not sure how many exactly, but I know that Ruby lost about half of his HP after the Lucky 7s finished.

[safrica1234]

@ghal416 hits 64 times

[blainyrules]

@Namord 64

[Moukeaf]

@Namord

It strikes 64times.

[Mistiestblue]

@Namord 64 times.

[DJOmnimaga]

@Namord 64

[SonicFan2456]

@Namord It hit's 64 times.

[melf7]

Is that skill only available for barret or can any character has it at 7777HP?

[sslazioforever]

@melf7 the second one ;)

[melf7]

thank you :)

[ghal416]

lucky 7s is only available when a character reaches that level of HP. indeed.

[slims999]

ANy character!

[Namord]

Yes. its one of his Limit Breaks.

[Re664]

to fight with ruy weapon i have to defeat emerald first right? because in my ff it don't have his tail to find and start the fight

[ghal416]

no not at all. you can fight the two weapons whenever you want once you unlock them. emerald weapon i think is unlocked once you acquire the submarine. ruby weapon appears once ultimate weapon is destroyed.

[OzricSpacefolk]

nice kill

[ghal416]

thanks :)

[BiteMyTongue1]

how do you get underwater materia and whats it do

[ghal416]

you get the underwater materia from morphing a ghost ship in the underwater reactor at junon. doing so will give you an item called the guide book which you can then take to the materia keeper at kalm. he will give you the materia in an exchange for the item. it allows you to breathe underwater, therefore it will take the 20 minute countdown out of the emerald weapon fight.

[guillermo316]

what is all lucky 7!? i though it was catbicth ability?>

[ghal416]

no it is not. it can happen for all characters when their HP falls to 7777.

[Maduo]

hmm, I thought lucky 7 only occured on the entry to battle though..

[ghal416]

no that is not the case. it can occur anytime a character falls to 7777 HP. the only thing that is the case is once you finish a battle with the "all lucky 7s" mode, the character ends up with 1 HP. therefore you can't carry it from one battle to the next.

[Maduo]

strange... was this recorded on the comp version or something? I know there were some changes made between the original and the other versions (got the original all plugged in behind me still =p)

[ghal416]

this is the original playstation version

[banno69]

Holy ****

[skaterjab]

hmmm i gotta play this again tink i migfht start it next week or tomoz :D

[enduurek]

@ wyrmslayer

Tifa - get 1/4 of Limit Bar then she should hit for over 2k, better Limit = better DMG

Cloud - You need alot HP, I suggest ya HP Plus till ya get 9999+ hp, more HP = better DMG

Barret - You need AP so give him all MASTER Materias ya've got

Vincent - More Kills = Better DMG (if im not wrong)

Dunno anything about Cid's and Yuf's final Weaps

[KanelFF]

There damage depends on there MP

[freeplay2414]

why did he stop attacking....

[ghal416]

why did "who" start attacking? barret? ruby seems to be able to interrupt towards the beginning of the lucky 7s. don't know why, just happens.

[guillermo316]

could you fight them on the psp version?

[wyrmslayer00]

do you know why when i have have tifa, cloud, barret and their final weapon, they all do like less than 200 damage at level 60?

[ghal416]

in order to gain the type of strength barret demonstrates in this video, you need to upgrade your characters' stats, far beyond what level gaining and weapon stats can give you. earlier on in these comments, i think i explained how i went about doing that. just look for it and it should be fine.

[ghal416]

also, lucky 7s makes your attacks all commit 7777 points of damage, regardless of the attack (the begining berserk run or the limit break afterwards) as long as you keep that HP number intact. an enemy's defense stat doesn't affect the damage.

[wyrmslayer00]

no, but when i remove all of it, and switch to their 2nd best weapon, they go back to 5k~~

[ghal416]

some weapons deal damage differently than others. i can't really tell you how so cause i haven't played the game in a while, but there might be some guides online that can help you with that.

[AdoptaNinja]

It's because each ultimate weapons deals max damage based on two variables: 1. Your stats and 2. certain conditions the character must be in. ghal explained the first part. The second part means like with barret for example. For barret to do massive amounts of damage(including overflow) he needs to have heavy AP consisting materia in his weapons ie. mastered KotR. For cloud it's max HP or a minute difference in HP and MP. Vincent also gets overflow. He needs something like over 65k+ kills

[broodm]

Cloud/ Caith Sith - Depends on his HP %, The less damage he takes the stronger his attack is

Tifa - The Limit Level where it is set & how full the limit bar is (The worse in the game)

Barret - The higher AP stored in his weapon the stronger he is (except on underwater materia)

Red XIII/ Cid - Same as Cloud but it depends on his MP

Yuffie - (the best early on & Against Emerald weapon) Depends on the Level set by the enemy

Vincent - enemy kills

Aeris - Strongest when allies are dead

[buddieclub1]

actually if u use Tifa's ultimate weapon and keep her limit gauge full and use Deathblow it does 9999 most often

[broodm]

then that would be wasting the opportunity of using/having a limit break -your giving yourself a handicap.

[predeturd]

barretts material deals damage based on ap on the materia on it, put 8 mastered materias on it then try

clouds i beleive is health based higher health more damage

tifa not sure about

[jussius88]

Tifa's is how full her limit bar is

[oxurius]

how is it possible you attacked so much? when i got lucky sevens on him i only attacked once......>=I

[ghal416]

must be something wrong with your game cause the few times i've had this effect, this happens. plus, every discription i've seen has described the attack like this as well.

[Abashi76]

how is it you can attack like a hundred times in a row?

[ghal416]

that is the effect that lucky 7s has on a character. any of them do this (not just barret) when they get 7777 hp.

[AverageGary]

i dint noe u can mime limit breaks

[ghal416]

now you do :P

[michaelalowther]

i've never got barret lucky sevens =[ but i have had his name randomly go all multi-coloured like in this video... i didn't get lucky sevens or anything come up it just randomly happened =/ plus my HP wasn't 7777.... glitch maybe? lol

[ghal416]

lol that's intresting. never heard of that glitch before or run into it. yep could be.

[michaelalowther]

lol oh well :P only ever had it once in the 9/10 years i've been playing it

[ghal416]

ya its a very rare occurance. only had two occurances of "lucky 7s" in my years of playing the game.

[windowlicker1]

i had a game where cid had 7777 hit points with some materia combination.. freakin awesome.. i still couldn't kill emerald weapon tho.. lol

[ghal416]

ya lol i still have yet to find out the necessary materia combination to achieve that hp amount. i have come close (like 200-300 points close or so) but to no avail.

[Jabuey3]

I got lucky 7s once fighting the water weapon with cloud; It seemed like he attacked him 77 times but it still didn't kill him( dumb of me to lost when I was so close) I beat the weapon underwater though,(eventually) took lots of tactics

[ghal416]

you talking about the emerald weapon? ya, the lucky 7s move is not enough by itself to kill either weapon as both have close to 1,000,000 hit points. the move usually takes off about half of that.

[Jabuey3]

Actually it is about 600,000Hp the Emerald weapon has. I sensed it

[ghal416]

sensing HP is not always accurate. i know emerald weapon has more HP than ruby because it has taken me longer to defeat it using the same tactics. ruby has around 800k of HP.

[devilsweat138]

haha i had 7777 hp once during a fight with that water snake that follows you around in that lake

[ghal416]

water snake? pardon my slowness, it's been a while since i've played the game, but do you mean the midgar zolom? that's the only snake that comes to mind.

[mrstanyoo]

3 ungarmaxes. now that's badass.

[ghal416]

yep indeed. at one time i thought that such a thing was impossible. never doubt the potential possibilities a game can have i guess lol.

[gamefreak6463]

I managed to get lucky sevens directly where my hp is 7777 out of 7777 I managed to do that and I have it saved on my memory card and it is possible

[ghal416]

ya i know it is possible. however, the stats by which characters level up with is slightly different through each game. so being able to change hp levels in such a way that you will get 7777 hp exactly has a stretch of luck to it and no one method can get you there. i had tried it many times on my file and i have yet to get it. congrats on the accomplishment. hopefully i'll figure out a way. :)

[spamwilson]

I love lucky 7's :P

Although it has only ever happened to me once :(

Why don't you try Ruby + Emerald with no materia?

Thats even better XD

[ghal416]

yep that would be a challenge indeed. when i get the chance, hopefully i'll be able to try that.

[AtmosFlare]

wow i had lucky 7s before ut never knew it did that..

[tygertyger51]

yea but ruby can kill you instantly

lucky 7 is a bug that I hate kind ruins the game play to me. But you might have a different opinion.

[ghal416]

once again, lucky 7s is not a bug. if it was a bug or a glitch in the game, the game would not officially recognize it as an attack.

[Lucarioboy09]

AMAZING! I know all there is to know about FF7, but I've never seen Lucky7's.

[ghal416]

ya i just stumbled upon it one day during my runs of FF7. i had heard about it beforehand but never saw it in action until one ordinary battle during gameplay.

[erik318]

uhh i have to ask when u got the lucky 7 will he do that or it just a bug ??

[ghal416]

the lucky 7s is not a bug or glitch in the game. it is an actual move in the game that any character can do when he/she gets to 7777 HP.

[erik318]

k thx :P

[aznxwarlock]

deaded

[Funnytakes]

Emerald Weapon has 1m HP and Ruby Weapon has around 500k HP

[ghal416]

emerald and ruby weapon both have somewhere between 500k and 1m HP (i dont remember exactly but im sure there is a gamefaq or guide somewhere that has better stat figures).

[rko5910]

ok this is a confusing queston about eramld weapon so yeah.... i did onmislash then i did ungermax... then his coloured things poped up.. and i used night of the round 4 times and he didi not die!!!!@!@!@!@ how much hp does he have??!?

[Suzaku000]

Emerald Weapon has about 500,000 HP.

Ruby Weapon here probably has around the same amount. That 55-hit combo alone dealt a total of 427735 Damage.

[TehMobBoss]

Emerald Has 1million hp.

Ruby Has 800,000.

[MateriaHunterX]

He has about 1million 200thousand

[Funnytakes]

Hello mate, if you remember my account 'Janitsi' it got banned... so this is my new (Friend invite sent)

[rko5910]

how much HP does this thing have

[rko5910]

igot 3077 and i got it to 7677 then saved and fought ruby weapon and i was hitting 0's but then i tryed fighting emrald weapon and i hit on my but i can't kill him (emrald weapon) and (ruby weapon)

[ghal416]

the reason why you were hitting 0's on ruby is because you have to wait till he places his hands into the sand. i do that by killing off the other characters. afterwards, he will be vulnerable no matter what :)

[rko5910]

i have those :) how many huge materias are there and do i inspect the blue materia or blue planet?

[ghal416]

i think there are three or four huge materia but im not sure. there might be a guide online that may help you on that. and yes, you have to inspect the blue huge materia to get it.

[smashpowell77]

there are four....You also need both Bahamut and Neo Bahamut materia equipped I believe to obtain Bahamut ZERO from the Blue Materia....I could be mistaken cuz when I got it I always had both equipped...

[rko5910]

where could i possible get bahamut ZERO?

[ghal416]

when you have all the "huge materias", it is stored in the observatory at cosmo canyon where bugenhagen has the solar system model. when you go there, inspect the blue one and you will receive the "bahamut zero" materia. I think you also have to have the regular bahamut and neo bahamut materias beforehand, but i'm not sure.

[rko5910]

ok thank you SO Much

[ghal416]

np dude :) if you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

[unavailable1104]

can i ask?

if wakka is there, can he kill ruby in one hit with BDL and attack reels perfect? LOL

[ghal416]

lmfao yes i wouldn't see a problem with that scenario...provided you let him know that ruby weapon was responsible for chappu's death, not sin :P

[rko5910]

srry to bug you again but cloud has 7764/9999 hp what can i do to get it to 7777!?!?!?!?!

[ghal416]

the items that you can use to heal a character I think heal about 100, 500, 1000 etc. amount of HP so ideally you would want the character to have a number where the last two digits are "77". that way you can use the appropriate combination of item/s (be it potion, hi-potion, etc.) to get them to 7777 hp. and its okay dude, if anything I should be the one to apologize for not emphasizing that to you b4.

[ghal416]

for example, you first face enemies that are strong enough to bring you down to the 7770-7790 range. then, you go back to midgar or the outskirts of midgar to face weaker enemies so that you have a better chance of nailing that "77" scenario. then let's say you get 7377 hp on cloud. you then would only need to use a few potions and you have 7777 hp :)

[ghal416]

oh and by inside midgar i mean sector 5 slums or sector 6. the enemies there take few HP off so the amount of damage you would receive is minimal and therefore better to control.

[rko5910]

k thanks

[ghal416]

np dude :)

[rko5910]

how do i get my guys hp to 7777?!?!?!? its to hard

[ghal416]

To get the HP to that level, first I went to fight some enemies and let them knock Barret's HP until he was within a Potion or so of 7777 HP. Then, I just saved that present HP the way it was until the Ruby fight, where you see me administer the Potion to activate the state of lucky 7s. Now if you are doing that with a party, I would suggest you move each party member you want to be near 7777 into your current party through the PHS until they get to that level.

[ghal416]

Once you get that party member to that level simply replace them with another party member through PHS and rinse and repeat. This way, you keep party members that you already worked down to the proper level from being affected by enemies while you work others. I really haven't tried it with a full party before, but that is what I would try to do. Hope it helps dude :)

[rko5910]

what attack was that

[ghal416]

well, the regular attack is what is used over and over again during the lucky 7s mode, but the limit break that was mimed a few times was ungarmax, which is the second of barret's level 3 limit breaks.

[rasangan94]

LOL hahha thats awesome great video man! 2 thumbs up

[zuderstrom]

Lol use cloud? hes much ´better when u use omnislash and a couple of hero drinks!

[ghal416]

the reason why cloud wasn't used in this run was because actually omnislash doesn't hit as much as ungarmax, and also ungarmax is a lot quicker so that way I could see how fast I could beat ruby using the lucky 7s mode.

[NeMucn]

LMAO AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA I think this isn't exactly that COOL but it's AS FUNNY AS HELL! THE SHOOTING FITS BARRET REALLY WELL!!!! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM constantly! :D

[ghal416]

hey everyone is intitled to their opinion, but ya the shooting animation constantly making ruby go up and down with excess damage can get funny after a while :D

[Animefreak48312]

how lucky are you ^_^

[ghal416]

lol apparantly including all 7s :D

[janitsi]

Yeah, im doing fine m8 :)

[janitsi]

Haha! remember me m8?! check my earlier comments. (6 months ago)

[ghal416]

ya i do lol hows everythin been dude?

[bfannon88]

nice

[ghal416]

thanks dude :)

[mizonee]

bro how did u get 255 on stats, and wat does luck do

[ghal416]

to get 255 on stats, you have to get the items known as "sources" that are for each stat. normally you only get a few of them, but once you get the "morph" materia, then it becomes a matter of finding the right enemies to morph into the items.

[ghal416]

luck and speed sources can be morphed from certain enemies in the downed gelnika plane (don't know what their called but the one that drops luck sources is green and floats and the one that drops speed sources is on the ground and has a brown and blue look to it). guard sources can be morphed from turtle-like enemies in mount corel and strength sources can be morphed from tank-like enemies in the destroyed reactor at gongaga.

[ghal416]

(remember that the "morph" move must be done as the killing move on the enemy in order to get the item) And as for what the luck stat does, the higher it gets the better chance there is of the character landing a critical hit on an enemy.

[gilperalta]

I like how you added this on 7-7-07! Good job!

[ghal416]

lol ya it was fairly random but thankfully it worked out that way :D

[selfhealing]

yeah classic!!

[Warrior536]

how many hit dpes he do?

[ghal416]

who? barret? im not exactly sure of the total amount of hits a character does when in lucky 7 mode. with his limit break ungarmax, it has been said that the total amount of hits is 18.

[Rembrantai]

wow thats insane. It's been ages since I've played it but I cant remember being able to mime limit breaks

[ghal416]

ya for the longest time that i played the game i never knew that such a thing was possible until i tried it out finally (which was fairly recent lol).

[customshotgun]

i didn't kill him yet, but one of my friends said it's easy by using quadra magic-bahamut zero

i don't know ,but whatever

[ghal416]

hmm ya i have heard of that method being used. it is very effective but probably would take longer than this strategy and kotr miming.

[customshotgun]

but sone told me that he always counter at you with some bad ass magic when you use knights

[ghal416]

yep. when you use knights of the round, ruby will counter with ultima. in order to get around that, one would have to either summon hades as well in a w-summon with kotr or use dazers beforehand in order to paralyze him. then again, even with that, he could still get one in sometimes.

[ghal416]

also, some ppl have used the "hp absorb materia-kotr" combination where everytime kotr connects, it heals the user. haven't used it, but have heard it is an effective counter to the ultima spell.

[getwallz]

man this thing used to be impossible to beat now its just like chuck on some counters and mimes and whatever

[ghal416]

lol ya time with a video game can do that.

[zanzibarfox]

lol. i mimed kotr like endlessly, it was funny. i always tryed to beat em legitly but never could, so one day, 10 years after i got it on christmas '97, i mimed kotr and killed emerald and ruby - then i had a party. =] the end. lol.

[ghal416]

sweet indeed. i like knights of the round a lot and have used it in the past to beat these guys. one of the best summons by far in any rpg. and i partied big time after beating them the first time as well lol.

[janitsi]

Lol damn the emerald weapon is easy..

[ghal416]

lol ya with the right strategy, he's cake.

[hatriuos]

i rember when i clered ruby. am looking up it at explor but it ditet help me. so a come up a own stragety and i beat him up (: (:

[ghal416]

lol sweet. what strategy did u use on ruby?

[hatriuos]

okey before the fight a get 99 megelixer and 99 dazers. buy using w item and copy , and kill evryone exept cluod and start the battle. so a cast dazers and he cant attack and then i attack until he can attack agin and then i use megaelixlir and dazers, and attack until he can move agin and do this intil he die. and i have alsa level 4 finalattack linked with a 4star phonix. and many matria that highs speeed and hp plus so he have 99999hp but he is att lv 99 so i dont needd more that one

[hatriuos]

obs too many 9. but i forgott to whrit i have the matria 4xcut and couneter attack(:

[ghal416]

ah okay cool :)

[janitsi]

Yes that 1 i got it on PSX too and im gonna keep it like it too! :D

[janitsi]

Actually i could try that strategy looks good

[ghal416]

hm. which strategy u referrin to?

[ghal416]

the one i used on emmy?

[janitsi]

Im downloading Final Fantasy VII PC Version now :)

[ghal416]

sweet. only have the psx version in my case lol. but from what i've heard they're mostly the same.

[janitsi]

Actually there is 3 hit difference :D Ungarmax hits 18 times and Cloud's Omnislash hits 15 times

[ghal416]

oh i meant "4" in that comment as the word "for". my bad lol.

[janitsi]

Hmmm havent tried the Ungarmax limit break strategy to ruby weapon could be useful i have completed the game on other save but on my other save what i try to get 100% i never complete

[ghal416]

very good 4 speed lol. correct me if im wrong, but i think barret hits 4 more times than cloud's omnislash and is quite possibly the fastest multi-hit limit in the game.

[janitsi]

Hey could you gimme your MSN if i add you or whatever..

you maybe know the good Duplicate trick? well i explain whatever you say! :DD First use W-item materia on any materia then use 1 any item what you wanna duplicate and the second time press 0-X-0-X-0-X-0 u get more any time!

[janitsi]

It could be nice to talk with you something about FF

[ghal416]

whatever u want to talk about. ff7 is one of my fav games of all time. :)

[janitsi]

so 4 times KOR on last! Hey if you want to contact me i hope you got MSN add: Mustangman2@messenger dot com

[ghal416]

dont have sorry. just talk here dude.

[janitsi]

I mean 24x9999 :D so its: 1000000 - 497723 = 502277 hp left and 24x9999 makes 497723 - 239976 = 262301 and KOR 2 times on cloud and i mime it with Cid and it makes more than 262301 damage and Emerald weapon is dead

[ghal416]

lol ya ive seen the lucky 7s effect used on emmy. sets up 4 good pwnage. i have a vid of my battle with emmy if u want to c.

[janitsi]

Yes i used the 7777 on emerald weapon yesterday i beat him i did like this: 7777 used to him then i use Demi with quadra magic on cloud then i mimed it with Cid and then i used demi 2 and demi 3 and mimed it all with cid it makes 28x9999 so if u count it -1000000 - 497723 thats the 7777 damage (continues...)

[janitsi]

ON NEXT BATTLE!

[ghal416]

good strategy. i just went back to midgar after i manipulated materia to get 7542 HP left. i let the enemies attack barret till he had 7477 HP left, then used a couple of potions to get 7677 HP b4 this fight.

[janitsi]

use the fang anymore but (DONT KILL IT YET!) now use the MINI transformed character and make him attack 1 on the character who you want to 7777 attack so many times when the Hp is at 7677 then use 1 potion to get ur hp 7777 and u will automatically use All Lucky 7

[janitsi]

then give Transform to other character thats the other who u dont need to get 7777hp ok now its time to some action! now kill 2 of the Fangs and manipulate the last 1 then use the transform on the character who is using the transform materia then attack the character what you want to get 7777hp on manipulated fang he hits mostly all the time 21 & 20 if u are lucky..btw when ur hp is like (Example:7681) now you dont have to

[janitsi]

I spotted good way to get your hp 7777 well simple start is the remove and add materias when you got little bit higher than 7777 then you go near to Midgar and encounter 3 fangs kill two of them and Have Manipulate on the character who you dont need to get the 7777hp.

[blainyrules]

theres a way to make his hp 7777. check the secrets faq on gamefaqs. it helps

[ghal416]

it wont work 4 me cause im lvl 99, not 70. also, i tried to use numerous materia combinations b4 i did this battle to try and get 7777 max HP. so far, none of them have worked. the lowest ive been able to go is 7542 HP. but thanks 4 the help dude :)

[ghal416]

also its best not to go into the battle straightaway with the lucky 7s already set cause it will beat out ruby's turn. and since his hands rnt in the sand yet, none of the hits will go 4 any damage.

[blainyrules]

it would work with sneak attack - regen with the atb on reccomended / wait if u do 1st ungarmax b4 his hands r down. he then should use his mp tenacle. then with lots of mime - counter he will continually use ungarmax in 7777.

[ghal416]

ive seen Ultimaxweapon's strategy, but i havent been able to duplicate it cause in order to, i need 6 mastered mime-counter and the sneak attack (mastered)-restore (lvl 3). i have all those, but that leaves me with two materia slots left to manipulate to get max HP to 7777. the only numbers i have been able to get are 8026 and 7542 HP.
