Draw Points Stop
Notes:
This is the final battle in order to win the game
Do not turn off the Playstation/PC until you saw the words, "The End"

The Queen of Evil...
   
The current room is filled with gears. There is another draw point - Stop within the area. Now, you need to move across the hands of the clock and climb down the ladder. Eventually, you will find a path leading to the Master Room.

Use the Save Point there and make your preparations...

As you examine the door, you will see the following prompt:
(This is it.. Ultimecia is here.)
(Get it over with.. Fight her now)
(It's too early to face her)

Pick the middle option and Squall and his company will meet up with Ultimecia, the master of the castle. After short conversation, you will be fighting the game's final battle...

The final boss fight involves all 6 characters. Ultimecia will pick three characters randomly to battle her. Squall will not always start off in the first battle. Despite this, it is really logical to have all GFs junction to the three best characters.

Once an ally has not been revived within 2 turns or Ultimecia has reached her turn, she will use "Angel" which will remove the character from the battlefield instantly... In other words, keep your best three characters alive at all costs.

The game's best offense magic can be draw from the final boss. Draw-and-cast it and view the ultimate destruction of Apocalypse...

This is the most easiest battle among the 4 battles. Ultimecia is very vulnerable against Poison elemental attacks. Summon GF Doomtrain. You can draw-and-cast Demi on her. Get an advantage in speed by casting Haste on the entire party. Summon GF Cerberus and cast Regen on all characters. As this going to be a long fight. Generally, she is just as strong as Edea in the fight during Disc 2.

Her Maelstorm can does intensive damage to all characters along with Slow/Curse status. Just cast Esuna or use the Treatment command to remove it. After you have defeated her, she will summon her GF - Griever.

Despite it being called the strongest GF in the game, this is no challenge compared to the Weapons - Ultima and Omega. The GF is quite fast and smart and it used Triple on itself. Griever can do a couple of great techniques such as casting Gravija or blowing a stock of spells in your inventory!
For this battle avoid summoning GF Brothers/Doomtrain, as they do not wokr on the boss.

Cast Meltdown on the boss. After you have done around 230,000+ HP of damage, it will cast its Summon Attack - Shockwave Pulsar, which will does approximately 3,000+ to 6,000 HP damage to all allies. The damage is dependable on the character's Spirit statistics. Restores your allie's HP back to full and use Limit Breaks to finish it off...

This boss is a combination of Ultimecia and Griever. The boss is able to cast strong group-effect magic such as Meteor and Tornado. Ultimecia "Griever" can easily does tremendous amount of damage to all allies with the spells already. The damage can be amplify with it summons a Helix. The helix is a magic amplifier and they will increase the damage dealt by the Boss by 25%. The boss can have only 2x Helix through out the battle.

Don't bother on them as they will be regenerated by the boss, instead concentrate your attacks mainly on the BOSS. Once the party has done around 300,000+ damage to it, the lower portion will start to drop off. The boss offensive motion changes and it start use physical attacks. The claw swipe could does a massive damage of 1,000 to a character whose vitality is lower than 100. Cast Protect on the entire party to reduce the damage. Cast Meltdown on the boss followed by Aura on Squall. Have the latter uses Renzoukuken...

This is the final one. Ultimecia has around 600,000 HP at the level of 65! The boss hit points increases by 175,000 depending on the total levels of the characters of the entire party. If all characters are at level 100, Ultimecia will have 1,000,000 hit points! Despite its massive HP, it is nowhere as strong as the Omega. Ultimecia has a high tendency of "blowing" off the entire stock of magic from a character.

The Boss can cast game's strongest offense magic in the game. One is Ultima and other one is Apocalypse, which could does a tremedous damage of 3,000+ to all characters even with 200 Spr stats. Ultimecia has also a powerful attack - Hell Judgement, which causes all allie's HP drop to 1, just like Mobile Type 8's Corona. The only weakness of the BOSS is it's speed. For my case, my characters will be able to execute six turns for a turn of hers and weak defense. It took me two Lion Hearts to finish it off...

Throughout the battle, make sure that you have Regen being cast on the entire party. Make sure that all characters of the current party, their HP are maxed out each time. You will never know the Apocalypse will be cast. Cast Meltdown on Ultimecia and cast Aura on Squall. Have Squall's attack mainly as the Renzouken and you will definitely get a chance to see his Lion Heart.

However there are some precautions. Ultimecia occasionally will draw Apocalypse from her lower half. That is also the only chance that you draw the Apocalypse for your use. Try to keep Squall's HP within a comfortable range of 4,000+ and Aura being cast on him immediately once it starts to wears off. Quistis Shockwave Pulsar, GF Eden, Zell's Duel and Irvine's Shot can does tremendous amount of damage. Dish everything that you have as the games... Leviathan's Recover and Alexander's Revive is extremely useful against the boss...
