  • I was so scared of this boss..

    I leveled up, zidane, Steiner, eiko and freya all to 99 lvl

    And when i started fighting her it was so damn easy..:D

    There was no need to level up that much :P

    80 Is perfectly enough :)

  • @deathfake1 Lol that's still overleveled

  • @MySonOfSam Yeah i know..

    I was afraid of her, but i killed her way to easy on these levels :D

  • it is assumed that there are only 2 dark matter throughout the game, one is achieved at the auction and the other is the bastards steal this Ozma and as one who has given you just win the match?

  • I remember you, Ozma. You damn evil ball.

  • I don't know why you weren't queueing up your party's attacks during Ozma's attacks. The main exploit of her A.I. that I used in the battle was the fact that if you perform and action while her ATB is loading, it'll reset to full and she'll always have precedent. If you toggle all of your actions while she's attacking she'll never counter you with anything. It makes the fight SO MUCH easier. I also did it without Excalibur 2 (unfortunately).

  • @Ungodlydemon I think it's apparent that he was going for more of a challenge here, seeing as how he didn't complete the friendly monster side-quest to weaken the boss. The Excalibur II isn't much of a benefit considering the only thing useful for Steiner in this situation is using the Sword Arts he can learn from other swords.

  • Oh yes Ozma I remember the first time I ever fought him. I knew jack crap and didn't even know what the doomsday spell was. However he had the pleasure of showing me. I didn't even get a chance to see the ATB gauge when he casts that #@$%#@# spell and killed my entire party in one hit! I dare anyone to not wear gear that doesn't absorb shadow damage and go against him c:

  • This boss pissed me off, too hard.

  • U didn't need to defeat Ozma, just 4 hav the Excalibur II, u already hav my respect.

  • So the sphere was ozma?

  • I might sound dumb here, but how do you unlock/get to ozma? I never found out?

  • @GetOurLyrics he is on the sky garden place and to get there u need a flying chocobo. which means you need to get all 6 chocograph pieces (which will turn into a chocograph and finding that will give you the flying ability.) typing this at 4am after losing to ozma 10 times in a row, so i hope i didn't say something thats wrong.

  • i beat ruby and emerald weapon of ff7 and omega weapon on ff8..and now its your turn...ozma

  • @Tails4543 I beat this guy on a level one game on disk 3. It was suprisingly easy. If I recall half of his moves are counters if you try and attack him too soon (if I recall you need to have all four party members with a maximum ATB gauge before attacking or else he will attack you before you can do your move.) But its been about two years so I'm a little fuzzy.

  • @Standuble thanks for the advice, i'll keep that in mind when i play against him next :)

  • The second is lv 99 pt: Zidane (still Theivery 9999); Garnet (99 amethyst + Atomos); Eiko (holy x4 with auto-reflect pt); Vivi (Bio x8 with auto-reflect & reflect x2); Steine's shock 9999; Freya Dragon's Crest 9999; Quina's Frog Drop; Amarant (i found he only useful with no mercy). With my lv 99, it esier, but lv 1 is fun cus harder to keep pt lv 1 till meet Ozma ^^

  • I still wonder how ozma didn't use Flare star or Combo Curse + Meteor. He always use it to me and disable my auto-life ability once for all. I have 2 favorite pt for this guy : lv 1 all pt Zidane (9999 thievery) + Quina (limit glove 1hp) + Freya (Dragon's Crest 9999) + Eiko (99 Phoenix pinion + summon phoenix ) : It's quite easy with this pt, just take me 3 turn to fry him up.

  • @frankwallace36: Well, if Ozma was the final boss, I wonder how many pp can reach the ending at first time in game. FF 's not only a game, but also a great story, then u can enjoy story by reach the ending and enjoy game by discover all side quest and secret in game.

  • That was a good write up in the description.

  • tbh you were extremely lucky cause when I fought him, he used like 3 curse on me in like 5 minutes...though I always beat him abyways...he's quite easy...

  • My team was:

    Zidane, Dagger, Vivi, Steiner

  • LOL - how convenient that climhazzard be the final move you use to defeat Ozma... very good work!

  • Why Ozma was not the final boss is beyond me... That last boss Necron was easier than Kuja... couldn't believe it - built myself up for the final boss and then I sat there like "seriously?" lol anyways FF9 is the best

  • now that i think of it... Ozma is like the bubble gum ice cream

  • The thing I love the most about Final Fantasy Superbosses.

    Their bizarre, unnerving design, their overwhelming strength, and then the satisfaction you get from pawning them with a perfectly executed strategy.

  • @1aundulxaldin "pawning"

  • @Daiblix

    Synonyms: Defeating, overcoming, or to overcoming them with unnecessarily empowered skill and finesse gained over a lengthy amount of time spent in training.

  • @1aundulxaldin You mean "pwning". Pwn is pronounced like "own" with a P in front.

  • Considering that I beat the game at a better level and still failed at killing him, I have respect.

  • The coolest most difficult optional boss, Lamest design!!

  • I love ff9 out of all the final fantasy series. I saw that Bahamut was enslaved & Alexander was killed by Garland..however with Ozma i don't think it would be easy to do this,..I managed to fight Hades & got excalibur2 but Ozma over all was THEE bad ass and the hardest to beat,..i don;t think Ozma could be controlled. Lol, its more like try to kill or be killed,..or even die in the process.

  • i really loved FF when I was younger. What I liked was finding and beating the 'special bosses' eg- ruby, emerald, omega, ultima etc, but FF9 gives me a multi-coloured ball as my secret boss!? ahh c'mon square why you have to be so lazy, you could of thought of something a little bit better than a friggin ball with a few colours on.

  • Suffer the wrath of the giat marble

  • It's a giant gumball!! haha. jk. I LOVED FF9! Still have it and it's in playable condition. lol! Too bad I don't have a game system anymore, might buy one just to play this again!!

  • @sabretyger You could just get an emulator.... didnt hear it from me tho.

  • How do you get Doomsday to heal?

  • @RonMaday

    egoists armlets they are the best buy like 4 of them and put them all on your characters

  • I really like the FFIX boss theme

  • woo god i hate this oversized jawbreaker lol. It has little health but its a pure gamble fighting it due to all its spells and speed regardless of your levels and gear. Eiko IS A MUST here with her auto phoenix summon and full life spell. I recommend garnet as a secondary healer and offensive caster as well as amarant with his valuable alan skills and heavy physical attacks. Unless you're a veteran player, i dont recommend vivi, steiner or quina because they just arent defensive enough.

  • @RukudoSage69 i very very recommend quina because of his magic hammer..just try to use that..it'll make ozma like a cry baby when he run out his MP..LoL

  • @tracegerry not really, he has Absorb MP (osmose with 0 mp cost) it's entirely luck based on wether or not he'll do it once he runs out of MP. I did magic hammer on him too got 3 off for like 2K he absorbed all of Eiko's mp two turns later and wiped my pt with Meteor.

  • @WhipLash42o hahaha~ really i never face him osmose..so it's depent on your luck too..i have already face osma about 5 times..and i never failed to kill him by using magic hammer :D

  • OZMA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HELP MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

  • Question: what is Ozma suppose to be anyway?

  • @Pcyst I read the ozma was originally an eidolon that couldnt be controlled by summoners and was exiled. However it lost its true form and appears as a sphere.

  • this boss is too easy

  • what element is the doomsday spell? i never figured out how to it to heal you instead of killing your whole party.

  • @saitodono88 I believe it's shadow

  • @saitodono88 Yeah doomsday is a shadow attack, so items like pumice piece and ninja gear absorb it. Therefore everytime he uses doomsday you get healed. It's nice. And my strategy is having Vivi with "return magic" so there is always a chance he'll use doomsday right after Ozma.

    However I still have not been able to kill it yet. It's on my priority list at the moment.

  • This guy pwns Necron.

  • thumbs up for most annoying boss in the game

  • I wish FF9 had Meltdown...Would have been hilarious.

  • Too bad you couldn't vanish and doom him.

  • nice... a pretty good strategy for beating Ozma. I am impressed.

  • you could beat the weapons in ffvii with lots of grinding. this guy? he can kill you at any time with curse, meteor, or flare star.

  • Wait, you can use the Tent trick on him? Shit..

  • how can i fight with this boss i pleayed ff 9 two times komplett but i find no way to fight with him :***( pleas help

  • where can i get auto-haste for my characters?

  • If a perfect play-through comes into play it means that this person has done the friendly monsters quest and made it 10 times easier to beat up Ozma

  • @spike007980 It doesnt mean he has to do it before Ozma, you get nothing for friendly monster other than an easier Ozma fight and nothing restricts him/her from doing later.

  • why ozma didnt use its curse? my fight like every turn it used curse..

  • seriously? the toughest boss..?? try the weapons..

  • I never could defeat this boss it was just insane

    and I didnt now that you can actually use the tent during the battle

    but anyway you have my respect

  • @RafiaLunedi at least his not as hard as hitoshura from Smt nocturne lol

  • My favorite boss battle has to be Ultimecia, so epic

  • FF all the way!

  • exelente exelente eso del tend es muy nuevo para mi y pues que mal plan que no te hiso curse hubiera querido ver como le hacias para recuperarte de eso

  • Cheezmasterz, it looks like he has the excalibur II, which you can only get by beating the game under 12 hours

  • I don't get it, does perfect game mean no damage or no deaths?

  • @cheezmasterz1103 its impossible to finish without damage lol i think he means no game overs

  • @cangri1788 Ohhh okay thanks.

  • I was lvl 69 max when i beat him, and i was using (i think some french names are differents) Dagga, Djidane, Steiner and Bibi.

    It was hard and Dagga was the only survivor.

    I don't remember why but i could damage him with Ark and Apocalypse.

  • @SchizoRiku you need to check out DarkKefka's penance battle:)

  • He;s not overall hard, you just have to be set up correctly. It can be a pain. One of my favorite fights other than Ultima Weapon from FF8.

  • @stonythegreat Which virtually guarantees just about anyone is going to (unless they look things up first) get crushed by him until they learn what they need to have on them to survive:P lol For the tiny amount of HP he has, he is pretty tough! My personal horror story was always omega gold from X...I hate that guy. >.>

  • I loved this fight, especially while doing the "Level One Ozma Challenge." Ozma was ridiculously easy with the right equips in my opinion. The hardest part about the Level One challenge is staying level one till Ozma. xD Lot's of fleeing and petrifying. x.x;

  • Comment removed

  • I have a legit 8 arrow Excalibur and 1000 wins. If anyone wants to see it, message me.

  • @ThePocketManster yeah i hadn't realized that back then...i just always saw shock doing 9999 damage but when i got it a lil early with a weak steiner..it only did 6743 damage.

  • i beat ozma in disk 3. I really dont have those best weapons yet. Steiner got ragnarok. zidane got orichalcon, Eiko got siren's flute and quina have bistro fork. Not the best weapon. But i got lucky. I really dont understand why ozma just keep on healing himself. So i just bullied him. But im equipt with two ribbons

  • first time i fought ozma, I was surprised i won. I stole all the items. But the problem is 3 of the characters got virus befor the fight. hahaha. Im not serious to fight ozma then. I just tried. Really so lucky is won it in the first try. Ozma all did is, curaga, curaga, curaga.hahaha i just fought the yan before fighting ozma, thats why 3 have viruses. Because im leveling the 4th one.

  • Can anyone explain to me what ozmas purpose is? Besides a bouncy ball of doom?

  • @wsz71 ozma is an optional boss. If your a gamer, of course you want to try the strongest boss. Besides the reward is incredible. Just stealing the robe of lords is fulfilling. Then there is the black matter and purmice. And there are more items after you beat him. And the ABILITY POINTS he will give is 100 points.

  • @babaganuc465 I know all that but what IS he?

  • @wsz71 what is he? Oh my god. your question is so difficult. Its like fighting ozma. lol

  • @babaganuc465 Ok, sorry just wondering if there's some crack head explanation behind him..lol

  • @wsz71 He's an Ozma. Duh.

  • @wsz71 He's a huge ball of energy, half light, half darkness. Why do you think he can cast Doomsday AND Lv.4 Holy? Lul

  • Oh, God, not the bouncy-ball of death! Serisouly, though, nice job, this boss is a bitch.

  • @Dracula9AntiChapel Yes he is. I haven't played 9 in years, and this battle was probably the most vivd memory I have of the entire game...he was an absolute bitch to fight.

  • a few questions

    1: wth is Ozma >.>

    2. is he refightable after you beat him

  • @azal8521

    1. forgotten eidolon that lost its form and became a mass of energy

    2. nope =(

  • @azal8521

    1. Hidden boss, he is also the strongest enemy in the entire game, much like Emerald Weapon from FF7. He can only be found after you have bred a golden chocobo i think.

    2. He can only be defeated once.

  • attention all of you who are facing Ozma know that it can be stolen from her one pumice pierce, one elixir and one dark matter

  • @wallace1060 your about 7 or so years late

  • @ubermaster1 you're right but FF9 not have years to play

  • I hate this planet :P heheheh

  • your just lucky there's no curse!!

  • From what ive found they dont really make hard bosses in FF. You just have to put the time in and you will beat them which i like and dont like (Excluding Penance). If they made like 5 bosses that were super hard even when ur team was maxed out that shit would be tight.

  • @PROxFESSxIONAL Just like the "demi-fiend" from Digital Devil Saga

  • @MrLou5 I've never played that before. I'll look it up.

  • @PROxFESSxIONAL

    Depends on how you define, "hard". It could be anywhere to taking a long time to prepare to have every best possible equipment available in game and at lv.99 and the boss could still rip you a new one.

  • i just figured out that the german name of the attack 'no mercy' (by amarant)

    is actualy called 'mahagomeha' (german name of amarant is mahagon, so name + dragonball= mahagomeha)

    that's funny!

  • @McDenis5678 now that you mention it..amarant does look like a wacked out version of SSJ3 goku without the muscles

  • What is Quina's formula for damage?

    I did Twister (and my Quina is higher level than yours...) and at one point it did like 86. Did it again and it did around 2000, and again for about 6000.

    Also with its melee attacks, random damage. I don't get Quina at all.

  • @drfeelgud88 well im not sure about some of his blue magic, but i know that forks always deal random damage, and he has one attack were if he's at one health he'll always deal 9999 damage i forget its name, but its really easy to use, its what i used to do in early boss battles, i havent played in a long time tho.

  • @elbobdude

    In my observations, yeah, the forks do random damage and some of his blue magic also; e.g, Twister.

    The blue magic you are referring to is (if I'm not mistaken) Limit Glove.

    There's gotta be some sort of formula for Quina, unless it is pure random damage and with a bit of "luck."

  • @drfeelgud88 also his frog drop attack i remember now will do more damadge depending on how many frogs you've caught, i do believe, so it's semi easy to max that out

  • @elbobdude just takes a really long time

  • FFIX <3

  • If you complete the Friendly Creatures sidequest then Zidane can actually damage Ozma, plus she no longer absorbs Shadow, so you can spam Doomsday with Vivi while healing your party. Also, how strong is your Frog Drop? Cuz it kinda kicks ass.

  • it annoys me that you never get to know anything about the strongest of enemies in the final fantasies. i mean who is ozma, who is penance (ok he's supposed to judge but thats it?)? who are the ultima/omega weapons? ruby weapon etc?

  • @mountom You never know.. They could release a game were you get to know who they are and at the same time kinda grow around the world they were in... Like as your own "boss" ! XD

  • @mountom well in FF7 they tell you ruby weapon and all the others where weapon created by the planet to defend against the invader jenova. They were in a slumber for years until the power of jenova was revived

  • @mountom Yeah it explains about the weapons in FF7. And if im not mistaken it explains about ultima weapon in FF8 at the research facility where you find Bahamut.

  • i beat this dude for the first time today after getting murdered 5 or 6 times. It is sooooooooo satisfying to watch him die :D

  • lol. even ozma got bitten by snake! epic Boss fail at old item 'tent' ! xD

  • Comment removed

  • @loomp You get to Ozma by completing the Chocobo hot & cold mini-game. If you want an online strategy guide check out Gamefaqs.com, I dunno about the Wizard of Oz thing and no It doesnt change the games ending.

  • Comment removed

  • @loomp Really? Who was called Ozma? I know the witches names were Alfaba & Galinda.

  • Comment removed

  • @loomp Meh, I don't care that much about it. I'll just take your word for it :p

  • i've seen people beat ozma using all character at level 1 lor. no cheat. pure tactics. compare to that, this is nothing special

  • sorry to tell you but you did you fixed damage after all..steiner's shock does 9999 damage no matter what(at least that's what i've seen so far)

  • ozma??????

  • what is steiner's sword?

  • @daftquent76 Excalibur 2, to get it you have to get to memoria and defeat Lich in under 11 or 12 hours which i think is ridiculous lol

  • i love air garden + ozma <33

  • only boss I could beat....havent played this since I was like 11!! Should really replay it just to beat him :P

  • you want challenge? without using Zanmato or any cheats try FFX and defeat Penance without using Break HP Limit and I'll be your slave to death

  • @SchizoRiku i have done that just kinn the arms then use 5 cheers and the item that reduses mp cost to 0 plus get auto potion and mix a trio of 9999 then quick hit and dispel all statuses as they happen.you owe me one slave

  • @BlitzAce987 "dispel all statuses as they happen"...and what exactly hit you to have those statuses,arms,obliteration? and you've survived with only 9999 HP? I want to see proof on that. even with 255 def his attacks would deal roughly 10-20k

  • @SchizoRiku I Always Found The Magus Sisters To Be Harder Then Penance i Had To Use zanmato on Them But I Beat Penance Without It

  • @HipHop4Life210 Dark Magus Sisters are DEFINITELY harder than Penance. Penance just takes awhile, where as the sisses are like... "I keelz you in 2 turns! RAWR" (Yeah, hyperbole, but, still...)

  • @HipHop4Life210

    I Tried So Many Times I Remember I Cloud Kill One And If I Was Lucky The Second But That Was It ! So What Did You Use Beat Penace Wakkas Overdrive Was It ?

  • @SchizoRiku LOL, Yeah penance is god without break hp limit. But with it he isnt that hard, just a long battle.

  • @SchizoRiku

    Ah I Did It On My Second Try After Months Of Grinding It Is Hard But Its More Long Then Anything Else Yojimbo The Magus Sisters And Possibly Anima Were Harder In My Opinion . If You Need You Need Any Tips Let Me Know ?

  • @SchizoRiku Sorry I Read The Bit About Break HP Limit Wrong I Thought It Said Dont Use Cheats To Break HP Limit . Ya Your Right That Would Be Nearly Impossible

  • @SchizoRiku

    tried it ... failed it tried it again... failed kept trying failed evenmore.

    i couldnt even beat him and i got the game like 3 years now ? i dunno but shit is hard son

  • @SchizoRiku done easily

  • @SchizoRiku Penance is EASIER without break HP limit xD

  • @SchizoRiku HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHHAHA Ozma is WAY harder U just don't know cuz U never battled it before, I battler Zanmato and Ozma and Ozma is like 20 times harder

  • @SchizoRiku I've done that, kinda fun too.

  • @SchizoRiku

    I did it more than once.. never use Zanmato, cheats and never use limit break.. actually using limit break on penance gonna waste turns.. just use usual attack on him... too bad I can't show the proof cos I played it in ps2 long before and I don't think I want to play it again using emulator..

  • @SchizoRiku I'm gonna be uploading my video doing that tomorrow lol

  • @SchizoRiku I have seen this done. I wana see someone beat Final Fantasy 8 Omega Weapon with one character...

  • @SchizoRiku Psshaw, I cant even beat Dark Valefor, FF X international has become the thing that will make me go Bald, so much harder than the US version I love it .

    Im thinkin of Playing 9 again just so i can fight Ozma, such a fun boss Fight

  • OZMA was the lamest Boss in FF History :/ on top of that he was hard lol.

  • I like how you did a Beatrix at the end. Cool way to finish. :P

  • @Kelmorally no mp for shock :( and it would have been more beatrix-like to finish him with stock break :P

  • Poor Steiner, falling off the island like that just to kill Ozma...

  • where do u get pumice pieces

  • @drg1888 Bed, bath and beyond.

  • I've never met Ozma. Even tho i completed FF9 4 times :O

  • i think i've complete the 97% of the total hinds,secrets,quests in the game..

  • much as I love IX, Ozma's a bit of a shit superboss. I always found the best thing to do is simply spam your strongest attacks (Thievery, Wing Edge, Shock, Dragon Breath...) and just hope you don't encounter Virus or Meteor. So long as you have some shadow/holy protection, your chances are pretty good.

    Still, beats the tedious grind that is Yiazmat by a longshot.

  • zidane fall ... no perfect !

  • Yiazmat is boring. Ozma was good, but NOTHING is better than the hell of Penance.

  • @Volviert penance is ez he just takes a while

  • what the hell is ozma anyway?

  • ouai un peu de chance quand meme , je l'ai battu a peu pres de la meme façon

  • you equip armour that absorbs or nulls shadow damage

  • how could DOOMsday posibly not hurt the person who's casting it?

  • Awesome...This should have been the last boss. I never understood what Necron evn had to do with the story in FF9. Seems kinda like he was tacked on at the last minute. Maybe I am wrong. Would someone tell me if I missed an element to the story??

  • naw. ur right. just kinda tacked on. kinda like zemus/zeromus from ffiv

  • Why should Ozma be the last boss instead? I agree that Necron had little to do with the story, but this globe... thing certainly didn't either.

  • Still Ozma is cooler and a challenge to beat.....

  • @LegendaryLunchbox because some guys would never beat the game lol

  • @rang3r34 then again what does ozma have to do with it

  • Nothing....but it's a moot point 'cause Necron had nothing to do with it either. Both are interchangeble as neither make any sense being in the game. I'd choose Ozma for more of a challenge. Necron was too easy to beat.

  • There seems to be a theory about a relation between Necron and Soulcage. Other than that, I don't think anyone has a clue.

  • Necron's meant to be a throwback to the "SURPRISE FINAL BOSS" in the old days (e.g. Zeromus, Neo Exdeath).

    I'd like to hear the Soulcage theory tho. :O

  • nice fella

  • the final boss from ffx was a much bigger let down
