10 Impossible Video Game Levels Made Easy With One Simple Tweak
6. Final Fantasy VII
The Level: Emerald Weapon Boss Battle
If you're so inclined, you can fight the Emerald Weapon in Final Fantasy VII, as it's an optional boss battle. If you want to finish the game without going nuts trying to beat a nearly undefeatable enemy, you probably should, since Emerald Weapon is insanely hard to beat.
For starters, you will need to hop into a submarine and make your way into his watery abyss. The clock starts ticking as soon as you get going, and you're limited to just 20 minutes, which may sound like a lot, but the Emerald Weapon has 1,000,000 hit points.
Beating a superboss with a million hit points in 20 minutes means you will have to be on the offensive throughout the entire fight, but there is a way to beat him, and there's a tweak that will make the fight far easier than it would otherwise be.
The Tweak: Underwater materia.
Instead of mucking about with the 20-minute time limit, you can avoid all of that by acquiring the Underwater Materia. It's not easy to get, and you will have to battle Ghost Ship to get it, but doing so will nix the time limit, which will give you enough time to learn Emerald Weapon's moves, and lead to your victory.
