Optional Boss: Ozma


From a distance Late in the game, you can fight an optional boss by the name of Ozma.  To keep it from being too painful, you should probably have your characters around level 80-90 or higher to take Ozma on.  None of the characters should be at a level which is a multiple of five, though, because Ozma can wipe them out in one attack.  Finish the Friendly Monsters side quest before attempting to fight this boss, because one of your rewards for completing it is the ability to use physical attacks against Ozma.  Save the game before starting this battle.  Please.


To find Ozma, go to Chocobo's Air Garden and walk to the back island.  Up on a plateau to the left, you can find an icon which, when examined, will allow you to start the battle.

For the purposes of this walkthrough, I am using Zidane, Vivi, Steiner, and Eiko.  However, as you can see from the picture, I also use Quina in this battle sometimes.  (It is fairly important to use Eiko rather than Dagger because Eiko can summon Phoenix.)  Equip Zidane with Ultima Weapon, Circlet, Bracer, Ninja Gear, and Protect Ring.  Equip as many of these abilities as you can: Auto-Haste, HP + 20%, Auto-Life, Auto-Regen, Auto-Potion (make sure you don't have any regular potions in inventory), High Tide, Master Thief, Mug, and as many status ailment-preventing abilities as possible.  Zidane is going to be most useful when he trances, when he can use Grand Lethal.  Otherwise, he can try to steal the Pumice Piece, Elixir, Dark Matter, and Robe of Lords, or use items on the characters that need them.

Looking down


Equip Eiko with a Phoenix Pinion if she hasn't already mastered  Phoenix.  Otherwise, equip her with a Pumice Piece.  Make sure she knows Curaga.  She also needs the Tiger Racket, Circlet, Bracer, and Robe of Lords.  Equip what you can of Auto-Regen, Auto-Haste, Auto-Potion, Auto-Life, Boost, High Tide, Half MP, MP + 20%, Insomniac, Locomotion, Clear Headed, Antibody, and Loudmouth.  Have Eiko heal like crazy.  High Tide is important, because she will trance faster and be able to double-heal.  Use Phoenix when necessary, and hopefully you will get an automatic raise if the need arises.  (Excuse the wording there.)


A big superball with an attitude! Make sure Vivi knows Flare.  He should be equipped with the High Mage Staff, Circlet, Egoist's Armlet, Robe of Lords, and Protect Ring.  Equip as many abilities as you can from Auto-Haste, Auto-Life, Auto-Regen, Auto-Potion, High Tide, MP + 20%, Half MP, Clear Headed, Loud Mouth, Antibody, Insomniac, and Locomotion.  Use Reflectx2 on one of your characters when you can, and bounce Flares off that character.


Equip Steiner with Ragnarok, Genji Helmet, Venetia Shield, Demon's Mail, and Protect Ring.  Equip the abilities that you can from Auto-Haste, Auto-Life, Auto-Potion, Restore HP, Auto-Regen, HP + 20%, High Tide, Chemist, Antibody, Bright Eyes, Clear Headed, Insomniac, and Locomotion.  Use Shock as much as possible, and maybe a few Flare Swords.


Ozma has over 55,000 hit points, which may not seem like a lot, but its defense is high, and it attacks hard and fast.  Expect the battle to last a while, and stay alert. 

Note:  You can use any combination of characters you like, of course, and you should know their strong and weak points by now, as well as what abilities are the most helpful.  Quina, for instance, can be a very strong character, and her Mighty Guard can save the day.  Just use whoever suits you best.
