ULTIMATE WEAPONS

Each character has a weapon that is considered his/her ultimate weapon. These weapons often have strange characteristics that enable them to pack an extremely strong punch, but Materia typically can't grow while placed in an ultimate weapon. Therefore, it's kind of a double-edged sword--you'll want to use them, but only with Materia that's been mastered.
Cloud:Ultima Weapon

Cloud can obtain his ultimate weapon, the Ultima WEAPON, by destroying Ultimate WEAPON. Confused? On Disc 3 you can find Ultimate WEAPON, hovering over a lake in the eastern continent.

Barret:Missing Score

Barret's ultimate weapon, the Missing Score, can be found on the steps that lead up to the Sister Ray just before the team encounters Hojo.
Tifa:Premium Heart

After getting the "Key to Sector 5", you can return to Wall Market and check the broken vending machine again. It's fixed, sort of it. It dispenses Tifa's ultimate weapon, the Premium Heart, and then breaks down again.
Aeris:Princess Guard

While wandering around the Temple of the Ancients, you'll find Aeris' ultimate weapon, the Princess Guard, just off the clock room. It's at the end of the IV hallway.
Red XIII:Limited Moon

After taking Bugenhagen to the Ancient City, return to Cosmo Canyon with Red XIII in your party. He finds Bugenhagen in pretty bad shape, but Red XIII walks away with his ultimate weapon, the Limited Moon.
Cait Sith:HP Shout

During the team's second raid on Shinra's Headquarters, you can pick up Cait Sith's ultimate weapon, the HP Shout, from a locker in the health spa located on the 64th floor. The locker is on the left side of the third row.
Yuffie:Conformer

When you have the submarine, locate the crashed Gelnika just off the coast by the Gold Saucer. Inside the generator room is Yuffie's ultimate weapon, the Conformer.
Cid:Venus Gospel

After the rocket in Rocket Town has been launched, talk to the old man outside the Item shop. He's the one who's been so obsessed with the rocket. If you speak with him several time, he'll eventually give you Cid's ultimate weapon, the Venus Gospel.
Vicent:Death Penalty

After acquiring the submarine or a Gold Chocobo, you can reach Lucrecia's Cave, located behind a waterfall in a lagoon in the Nibel area. Visit the cave with Vincent in your party during Disc 2. Then during Disc 3, revisit the cave with Vincent in your party to get his ultimate weapon, Death Penalty.


During Disc 3, you can chase down Ultimate WEAPON. Defeating it means you get Cloud's ultimate weapon and you'll gain access to the Ancient Forest near Cosmo Canyon.

Ultimate WEAPON will be hovering over the lake near Junon. Fly up to it enter combat. Fight it as you've fought most bosses up to this point. Put up a Wall or MBarrier and keep the party healed. Then pummel the creature with your strongest spells, summons, and attacks. After taking a few thousand points of damage, Ultimate WEAPON will fly off just as it did in Mideel.

Chase the beast with the Highwind and stay on its tail until it hovers another location. Its favourite spots seem to be Nibelheim, Midgar, Mideel and Cosmo Canyon. As soon as it stops, enter combat again. You can ram it with the Highwind without taking damage. In fact, it causes the Ultimate WEAPON to find a new taget more rapidly.

Ultimate WEAPON can't heal itself after a battle and will eventually head for Cosmo Canyon, its final resting place. Defeat it there and it plummets to the planet, destroying a large portion of the canyon. For defeating it you receive the Ultima Weapon, Cloud's ultimate weapon, and you can now reach the Ancient Forest through the destroyed area.
