Ruby WEAPON

One of the most powerful creatures in the game and hard to beat. To beat him make sure you have these materias first:

- Knights of the Round (Minimal: level 2)

- Hades (Minimal: level 3)

- Big Guard Enemy skill

- Mime (2x)

- Phoenix

To make sure Ruby won't suck your characters away, kill with Cloud the other party members first (In a random encounter). Then bump with the Highwind into Ruby. He'll jump out of the sand and attacks you. Unlike normal, it will stick its claws directly into the sand. Now, before you do anything, cast Hades on him. This will stop him. Now cast Phoenix followed by Big Guard. All 3 characters should be revived to the fullest and have a barrier with haste (Thanks to Big Guard). Now start the Knights of the Round chain. Cast with Cloud the Knights and let the other two Mime it. Then cast Hades again on Ruby to make sure it will be stopped again. Continue this routine and deal enough damage to eventually kill it. Ruby will leave the Desert Rose. Give this to the old man in Kalm to get a Golden Chocobo.
