Well.
-Strategy-
As you may know, Omega Weapon has an array of 'fixed' attacks that he'll use in sequence, interspersing physical attacks between them. He'll start with LV5 Death and then move onto his pattern which starts at Megiddo Flame. Unfortunately, there are two fatal flaws at work here. One, after inflicting VIT0 with Meltdown, Meteor hits for about 10k of damage each time and it's being cast in Triple. Two, Omega Weapon is not fixed at Lv100 like he is in the PS1 version; he is instead level-scaled so he only has about 160k-210k HP. Long story short, we didn't get to see Megiddo Flame.
So the one thing left to do is run this challenge in and get it over with. Ultimecia starts the fight by selecting three random party members which will comprise your team (with Squall being there by default, I think). We started with Quistis and Irvine, the former bombing out to the first attack to make way for Zell. With these two, we were able to work our way to Griever's second form before Irvine was knocked out for Selphie to come in. There was nothing overly special with our tactics; Meltdown followed by Meteor for a swift resolution to this broken-ass challenge.
Only things we had to watch out for were Hell's Judgement (which reduces all HP to 1), and some of the heavy hitting attacks like Shockwave Pulsar, Apocalypse, and Ultima. We also lost a GF or two as well because apparently Ultimecia, like Seymour, doesn't much care for the ol' summon monsters.
But yeah; challenge completed. And more importantly: ACHIEVABLEMENT ACHIEVABLED. If you've got any suggestions for challenge conditions I could tack into a new challenge I'm planning (it's gonna be a Lv.100 run, no high-level magic allowed) then let me know; thanks for watching, and see you next game!
