I wasted Hell Wyrm in no time, Shadowseer took me awhile, but got him too. Then, after 3 1/2 hrs, took down Yiazmat. Yay for me.

After all that, I decided to go after the last one on my list, OMEGA!

Ev1 told me that finding Omega in the Great Crystal was harder than actually fighting him. THAT IS BS!!! I find him easy enough, but on my first attempt on him with my Vaan/Basch/Fran Lvl 99 main team, I Got Wasted.

After that attempt, I looked up ways to fight him. Ev1 told me to use the Decoy/Reverse method on my main tank and keep the other 2 on support role ONLY.

Using this method, and taking another 2 or 3 attempts, I finally managed to kill Omega and achieve 100 percent completion.

With that all being said, has anyone else got any other method they used to take out Omega???

Let me know so I can limit the time it took me to kill him the 2nd time around.

Thx

doing about 6k per blast i wanna say that the decoy/reverse method is the only way you can eat that kind of damage and still beat him.

every time iv done it its been without reverse/decoy.
thats not showing of its saying im a lucky guy. i find that method far too time consuming and never works the way you want it to. well not for me.

i can give no advice for omega the 3 times iv done it i have only just got through.

this is wierd for a laugh i did him with cheats and it was harder i had the infinate hp and no matter what happened to hp it went back to normall after but that meant i couldnt bubble so he killed me in 1.

may seem like im babaling on but the lesson is clear you need bubble. bubble belts save time and risk so use them. good luck.


p.s masamune + genji gloves helps a ton.

You have to get a feel for the amount of time Reverse lasts... which is about 14-15 seconds. If you keep casting it manually, overriding your gambits, it is possible to keep Reverse on indefinitely (assuming it doesn't miss too much).

True that I found that simply manual casting of reverse was faster and simply keeps it in effact indefinitly.

Having a Reverse gambit simplifies the act, but there is always a good 5 second delay where you are vulnerable. This has always been where I found Omega to be a pain in the ass, seeing as how in that short period, he KILLS ME EVERY TIME.

An Arise Gambit must be made high priority if you intend to use the Decoy/Reverse method, as in that short period of time between casts, there is always the chance of your main tank dying, and thus, your support becomes vulnerable to death themselves.

But I still find that using this method is VERY time consuming and extremely tedious. Thats why I ask if anyone has found another way. Abeit I have already killed Omega, but still. I always play again some time afterwords.

What I did was set up gambits for Reverse/Decoy Balthier on both Fran and Ashe, manually overriding to cast Reverse when I thought it necessary. In the case that Balthier died, I brought out Vaan, who was also set up for decoy/reverse in Fran and Ashe's gambits. Basically, Cast Decoy/Reverse on EVERY reserve character except your main two. It will make it much easier.

mt dad beat him with out the Reverse/Decoy thing (he had 2zodic spears and a torsunal the omega whent down so fast)

everytime u run away from omega he regains hp, if u stay down to long and miss decoy or reverse he does 9,999 dmg to ur chars each hit. and very repidly. to use it correctly and be able to re heal. you cast reverse and then stop. if the char is stopped and reverse the reverse lasts 1 minute. Time for u to heal safely away from him. An since u leave one char down there omega will keep hitting it and u wont die. thus he wont gain hp back. It is very simple.

I tried about 10 times to get him without reverse/decoy, but I just couldn't get it to work. Curaja is too slow and Curaga doesn't heal enough. I ended up relying on the gambits instead of manually casting Reverse, and there were some hairy moments but overall it was fine.

Omega is a piece of cake, he doesn't take nearly as long as other bosses, what I did was simply attack and defend myself, repeat with my perfect gambits that defeated Yiazmat 14 times and then boo ya, I brought the boom.
