The Ultima Weapon is a powerful boss who is featured in many Final Fantasy games.

History

Final Fantasy series

Final Fantasy VI

Ultima Weapon in Final Fantasy VI for the Super Nintendo

In Final Fantasy VI, the Ultima Weapon comes in three forms. Its first form is a sword, the power of which is based on the hit points (HP) of the wielder; the more HP the character has, the stronger the power of the weapon. The second form is a large, cat-like boss with a special affinity to magical attacks. The monster Ultima Weapon could be defeated by depleting its magic points, either by weathering many battle rounds against it, or by casting spells designed to deplete its supply of MP. The third form is encountered during the final stretch of the game, in Kefka's tower by the name of simply "Atma". It is a much stronger boss monster, capable of instantly executing Ultima Weapon's ultimate technique. Because of the graphical depiction of the Ultima Weapon sword, many fans believe it to be an immaterial, energy-based weapon, similar to the lightsaber of Star Wars fame. In the original Super Nintendo version, it is named Atma Weapon.

Final Fantasy VII

In Final Fantasy VIII, Ultima Weapon appears as a boss in the Deep Sea Research Center.

Final Fantasy X

In Final Fantasy X, Ultima Weapon is an optional boss fought in the Omega Ruins of Spira as well as a sword. In the Japanese version of the game, Tidus' Celestial Weapon is called the Ultima Weapon, although the name was changed for reasons unknown to Caladbolg for the North American and European localizations.

Final Fantasy II (remakes)

In remakes of Final Fantasy II, starting with Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls, Ultima Weapon is an optional boss featured in the bonus quest Soul of Rebirth.

Another form of the monster appeared in Final Fantasy X-2, with the in-game bestiary humorously warning the player not to call it Atma.
