Ultima Weapon is a Secret Boss that acts the Protector of Gaya
How to Summon[]
There is a sealed gate at the most Northwestern point of Gaya; this gate will be opened once the Rare Game Hunt Tonberry is defeated, which requires completing the quests Dimensional Boundary and Spirit Hunt. Once the adventurer crosses the gate, the quest Ultima Weapon will commence, which requires you to defeat Ultima Weapon.
Fight Mechanics[]
Ultima Weapon is one of the first Secret Bosses a player will encounter. He has access to a variety of strong spells, has more physical damage than most previously encountered monsters, and boasts a large HP pool. Ultima Weapon wields the Ultimate Weapon; this means that he is very strong early on in the fight, but his physical attacks become weaker as his HP drops. This makes surviving the early stages of the fight is the toughest part of the fight.
Spells:[]
Ultima Weapon uses the following spells:
- Flare - Stuns and deals moderate non-elemental damage in an AoE around the target
- Slow - Reduces the target's attack and movement speed as well as increase cooldowns
- Deprotect - Increases the physical damage taken by the target by 50%
- Meteor - Rains a shower of meteors, dealing non-elemental damage in an AoE over a period of time
- Ultima - Deals massive non-elemental damage in a large AoE over a small period of time.
- Light Pillar - After a brief charge-up, release a massive wave in front of Ultima Weapon, dealing massive damage.
Strategy[]
Ultima Weapon is likely the first Secret Boss a player will encounter; as such, he is very difficult the first time he's challenged. Luckily, there are a few strategies that will allow a player to face Ultima Weapon early on, though a Master Thief is required. Furthermore, full House upgrades and all Spirit of Gaya upgrades are required. Make sure to complete the quest Mystical Glyph and obtain the Gaya power ups.
Strategy 1: Knight in Shining Armor[]
Hero: Knight - Switch Shock for Accumulate or Drain Attack
Equipment: Excalibur, Absorber, Genji Armor, Barbarian's Helmet, Speed Bracers, Remedy x10
Spirit of Gaya: Tome of the Breaker, Tome of Banishment, Tome of Strength, Greater Nectar x10
Fight:
The fight revolves around using Runic Shield during Ultima and Meteor to build up massive damage ; you'll need to use Gaya's Mega Heal, Shell, and Greater Nectars to survive. Use Armor Breaker as frequently as possible and make sure to dodge the Light Pillar; go behind Ultima Weapon if you see him stand still doing nothing. As the fight progresses, Ultima Weapon's physical attacks will become weaker but his spells will become stronger. Make sure to maintain Shell and use Accumulate/Drain Attack frequently.
