Final Fantasy IX Ozma - Take 6

Hitpoint data is from BlurYamaneko's Boss guide. You can find it here:

The video will speak for itself but why do I hate this thing so much?
Because of two conditions:
1.He always attacks first.
2.His meteor is impossible to survive. Even if everyone has autolife they just get hit by curse because the Active turns are reset and god knows what Ozma's speed really is.
So the rant I have is why doesn't he just bone us all to death with meteor every time we face him? Since he meets these two conditions he is not really supposed to be beatable. This possible fact aggravates me everytime I think about it. If you bug me about him being no different than omega weapon then you are wrong. Omega Weapon from FF8 is fun and easy. I'll show that when I get to that point. But this battle is just absurd and stupid.
Ozma Strategies:
I really want to spend as little time explaining this as I can. I hate this...thing with a passion.

Abilities: Antibody, clear headed, and bright eyes or loudmouth. Have auto reflect on meleers. If not try eiko's carbuncle. If you can try to get autohaste and autoregen on as many people as you can. But if you can't it's ok as long as Vivi's firing off doomsdays and everyone is getting their health because of it.
Also make sure all lvls are not divisible by 5. If you are feeling lazy you can let one person slide on that one but if two or more people lvls are divisible by 5 gain some lvls then. Lvl 4 Holy is a pushover dont' worry about it. At this point in the game holy is not a problem for anybody. It's flare and flare star you need to worry about.
Meteor = Instant Death. Just restart the game if it happens it's that or witness how fucked up this boss is. After all it's why I call it "The most fucked up boss in all of final fantasy." I hope the weapons of Final Fantasy 7 are not like this. (They dam well better not be. I've had enough of this bullshit.)
Doomsday = Your ace in the hole.
Ozma counters like this: If it's a physical attack it's Berserk, If it's a magic attack it's Curaga. Well things seem that way sometimes. On this run he tried to counter my doomsday with berserk. There might not be a pattern as to how he counters.
I have one strange detail to bring up. As Ozma's health gets lower my own doomsdays (not from return magic.) do less and less damage. Does Ozma's magic def go up as hitpoints get less?
For offense:

Freya: Dragon crest is good but most likely not ready because few dragons are out there and I don't know where they spawn at. I can only think of Dracozombies and Grand Dragons outside Daguerro. Instead the Dragon's Breath is good but that requires 78 mp and Freya overall has low magic points. Best not use that because on average you will probably only be able to use it twice before the need for an ether comes.
Zidane: Grind your thievery with steals. Ultima Weapon and "The Tower" don't do enough damage. Well Ultima Weapon might with higher hitpoints.

Steiner: Wear Demon's Mail and start using Darkside. Shock is good too but you'll have to start wasting ethers if the battle lasts too long. Make sure you have auto regen so you can cover the loss of hitpoints when using darkside.

Vivi: He could probably take on Ozma single-handed but it's just a theory. Give him a pumice piece equip the mace of zeus and start blowing up planets to your heart's content. Don't forget return magic too.

Dagger and Eiko: They can't do much the eidolons aren't very good. Only Eiko's Carbuncle is effective because it can replace your need for auto-reflect thereby giving you more room for more abilities. If you beat hades beforehand you can try and teach Dagger the Ark summon (because the Ark summon can hit higher damage much more easily than bahamut with 99 garnets can.) but doing so wastes your two pumice pieces that you need to absorb the doomsdays. You would then have to rely on ninja gear or other things to absorb shadow attacks. If all else fails chuck a dark matter at Ozma.

Quina: Have autolife ready and use the limit glove. The angel's snack will also fix your mini-problem with the curse. If you spent time on working on the frog drop that's much better because you don't have to be at one hitpoint to use it.

Amarant: Return magic nuff said. pair him with Vivi. Also the Powerthrow from the Bracer (or was it golden skullcap?) will enable your wing edges to hit 9999. Problem is it's the most magic stone demanding ability in the game. You might have to throw out other necessities like auto reflect or auto haste and such. If all else fails use "No Mercy" lmao.

Phew...I think that's it. Whether it's level 1, Perfect game run, or whatever it doesn't make a difference. Meteor ignores magic def. So Ozma always has the capacity to kill you in an instant. Enjoy your Ozma cards, losers. I'm going to be enjoying how suprised hades is when I run into him in memoria. *cue Kefka's laugh* (yes I have lost my mind.)

also how do u get auot haste and reflect?

[reclusegamer000]

Auto haste comes from running shoes.

the reflects are from auto reflect learned from "reflect rings".

I think you can get one from an auction but another can also be stolen I believe. learning auto reflect is a bit tedious though. Instead of wasting time gettting steiner to learn it I decided to just leave it on him so he could use it in battle.

[DaSteakinator]

where u get power wrist ninja gear and multiple pumice pieces from?

[reclusegamer000]

I remember stealing the ninja gear from Garland I believe. Power wrists can be bought sometime late in disc 3.

One pumice piece is from beating ark. The second is from the chocobo treasure hunting.

I think a second ninja gear can be obtained from treasure hunting too. If you have 2 ninja gears and 2 pumice pieces that's your "shadow elemental protection" right there.

[Kaijudomage22]

Your "When in doubt, blow up a planet." line is from Megas XLR by Jamie, in the episode Ice Ice Megas.

[reclusegamer000]

Oh nevermind it wasn't erased it was just moved. my bad.

[blkmattymatt]

I have the exact same equipment that you have in order to survive the doomsday attack, but for some strange reason i still take damage :/ can you help me?

[stonedimonium]

i know that if you beat hades and di the hot and cold mini game with the chocobo you get an item that allows you to physically hit that shit. perfect if u have excalibur 2

[ambis99]

That meteor magic is freaking awesome dude!

[chriss2112]

@chriss2112 also he casts lvl5 death.. FYI dont have any party members with increments of 5. train a lvl :) save yourself a death.

[chriss2112]

your lvl is fairly low for facing the ozma, i just beat the game with zidane at lvl 77 and still have the ozma to face lol.. and i only farmed in Memoria for maybe 2-3 hours.

nice vid though, and well done

[AstralAstaroth]

Serpions (found outside Lindblum's Dragon Gate) are considered dragons, despite their viper-ish appearance. And they are extremely easy to beat.

[stackatheattacka]

go to hades an you can synth a pumice an something else to get a piece back then beat ozma u will get pumice back

[Xmagu]

nice job, my team to kill ozma was freya zidane quina and granet

[RaunchyApple]

wtf, was that a planet?

also, some super tough "hidden" boss. got raped by its own doomsday.

[fettsoftw]
