It’s all led to this. You, your girlfriend, your brother, and one of the goodest boys out there facing down a mechanical god. The Omega Weapon has finally come toFinal Fantasy XVIas the ultimate boss in theEchoes of the FallenDLC.
It’s been a long road to this point and your supplies are likely dwindling. Omega is one of the toughest fights inXVI. Let’s verify you come out on top.
General attacks
Delta Attack
Omega scans the arena and places an electrified triangular fence around Clive. After several seconds, this will disappear into a series of electrified triangles on the ground.
Wave Cannon
Omega charges and fires a beam of energy in a straight line ahead of it.
ML Wave Cannon
An upgraded form of Wave Cannon where Omega fires three parallel beams after briefly charging. As the first beams are dissipating, another set of beams will appear in the gaps.
Maximum Overdrive
Omega will begin flailing its new mutated arms, cartwheeling, and generally moving in a straight line toward and past Clive. You can either dodge or try and work a parry in.
Ion Efflux
Hahahahahahahaha. What. Even. Is. This. Fight!? Omega summons a storm of explosive orbs that rain down from the sky like a boss fromNier: Automata. While you’re trying to dodge that nonsense, the construct will usually throw out Delta Attack and ML Wave Cannon.
Pantokrator
It’s kind of hard to tell what’s going on here due to the absolutely bonkers light show, but it appears that Omega pulses three times as it charges up. These pulses don’t do damage, but if you’re hit by the flailing arms or the fire trails left behind, you’ll lose some life.
Atomic Ray
Similar tothe Sigma fightwhere it casts Colossal Blow and Fulmination, Atomic Ray begins with Omega slamming its meat mitts into the ground. Shockwaves will radiate from each fist. While dodging that, growing circles will appear on the ground. The goal is to find a spot where the circles don’t overlap by the time they explode. Should that not happen, you’re able to dodge the final explosion.
Hyperextension
Omega will plant its fists into the ground and launch twin linear walls of flame. These humbled me with how quickly they move and the obscene amount of damage they inflict.
High Maneuvers
Omega directs its fists toward the ground and unleashes a torrent of flame before catapulting into the air. It will briefly appear in the distance before immediately invading your personal space with a ground slam that then shoots up pillars of flame. This attack leaves Omega vulnerable to a counterattack for several moments.
Final Stand
With roughly 1/5 of its health left, Omega Aionios will go into its final stage. It will remain immobile in the center of the arena while it channels Dimensional Compression. During this time, the arena will be continually shrinking. The attacks are few in variety as they mostly consist of lasers firing off along the edges and from Omega Aionios itself. It will also rain down orbs like Ion Efflux.
You’re going to have a lot coming at you in an ever-shrinking space. Hold absolutely nothing back and keep laying into Omega Aionios before it finishes channeling Dimensional Compression.
