You can only really have a hope of getting a gold chocobo when you get the highwind, disc 2.

lol, you get the key to the Temple of the Ancients in the Gold Saucer. Go to battle square and go right, approach it and Dio will enter, blah blah blah, congratulations, you now have the key.

sorry to bother, but i'm having trouble breeding a golden chocobo. any suggestions?

[thatguy]

You either have to go through the very long breeding process, which is most likely covered on another part of this thread.

or you can fight the Ruby Weapon.

It takes a long time to do the gold chocobo breeding thing, so if you don't have a lot of time on your hands, to do this side-quest in one sitting (you don't want to lose track of which step you're on, it can ruin everything,) then I recommend the fight. You can find Ruby Weapon near the desert prison. I believe it has only a tenth of the Emerald Weapons HP it should be a lot easier to kill. I did the breeding thing so I don't know if the Ruby Weapon gives you a gold chocobo or not, but according to the guide I did the breeding thing from it should give you a gold chocobo.

ok here is how you do that.
git 4 grate Chocobos(Mideel aria) race them to S rank then breed them with a carob nut when you git both kinds and they reach rank S mate them with a carob nut to git your black chocobo, when that happens git a wonderful chocobo(Icicleinn aria) race it till S rank and breed the wonderful chocobo & the black with a zeio nut you should git a gold chocobo like this but save before you try & breed them cuz its unpredictable. i hope I helped.

Hello. I am having trouble defeating Ruby Weapon near Gold Saucer. My LvL is high 70's to low 80's I cant remember. I know I should try to kill him on my own but at this point he is too powerfull for me. If anyone knows how to beat him then please let me know ok?

Thanks.

Well, here is what you will need.

As I’ve told you, there is one main strategy found in my section, with which
you WILL push Ruby Weapon over. I will start with it, then I’ll give you
other suggestions.

First, you need to have the required stuff, listed as always:

- One character lvl 75+.

- Knights of the Round summon materia, doesn’t need to have a single level
mastered. You can get it in a secret cave northeast on the world map(Gold
Chocobo required).

- Ribbon, good old anti-abnormal statuses accessory.

- Mime materia, found in a secret cave that can only be accessed with a Gold
(or perhaps Black) Chocobo.

- W Summon materia, costs 64 000 battle points at the Battle Square(Gold
Saucer).

- Speed plus materia(s) mastered(or nearly), costs 4000 battle points at the
Battle Square(Gold Saucer).

- Apocalypse sword, entirely optional but if you’re gonna use Cloud, use the
Triple AP growth from that sword as your advantage to learn materias that are
requiring high amounts of exp to be mastered.

- HP absorb, totally a must. Can be found in the North Crater and in Wutai.

- 9500 HP+(just to be safe)

- Magic Plus materia mastered.

With these, you got the required stuff to doom Ruby Weapon. Equip these all
any way you wish(except for Knight of the rounds summon, which needs to be
paired with HP absorb). Kill off the two other characters, then enter the
battle with that lone warrior.

Ruby will start off by putting his tentacles in the ground in order to side
attack you from behind. W Summon the knights of the round on all targets
(first the tentacles, then Ruby). After the long ass animation, Ruby will
counterattack with Ultima for nearly 8000 points. STOP, don’t you go use an
Elixir on me. Just Mime yourself, you’ll see. KOTR will be summoned twice
once again, but you won’t waste any MP. Also, since HP absorb was paired with
the summon materia, you will be automatically ALL healed after the
animations. The mastered Speed Plus materias(s) will be giving you a speed
advantage as well. Bad statuses inflicted by Ruby’s physical offenses? No
sweat, you got a Ribbon. There you go, just keep Miming for the whole battle
and you won’t even need to care about the damages dealed by Ruby, since
you’ll be automatically healed after. Just make sure you don’t do ANYTHING
else than Miming your first move(which was W Summon KOTR) and eventually,
Ruby Weapon will be defeated.

Indeed, that strategy’s cheap, so it’s your choice if you want to try
something more fair in which you have to act more. But if you want to stay
cheap((-_-)), you can still try out other materia combos, such as Quadra
Magic Demi3(with HP absorb) and so on. You can also mess around with the
Counter materias, you’re free to do your own different tests!

Thanks man that info. really helped me alot.. now i know how to beat him..HAHA there is just one problem..i dont have W-Materia or KotR..

[dimmufan]

Sounds to me as though you got a LOT of breeding:Spyfap: to do as well as a lot of battling in the battle square. It is a must that you have these items before even attempting to battle Ruby Weapon.

[Novacrash]

Er, what exactly is the point of beating Ruby?
Do you get something like, insanely awesome, or...just bragging
rights?
