I’ve been flying around the world for hours now looking for Ultimate Weapon in Final Fantasy 7 so I can get Cloud’s Ultimate Weapon and he never appears. I’ve tried looking up FAQs and walkthroughs and they all say he appears for the first time over a lake near Junon but that hasn’t happened. I’ve combed every square inch of the world and nada. The last main story event that occurred was the launch of the Shinra 26 rocket toward Meteor. Am I far along enough in the story? HELP!

The following locations result in a ground battle:
Gongaga
Fort Condor
Midgar
Northern Crater
The following locations result in an aerial battle:
Junon Area
Mideel
Mt. Nibel
North Corel
Cosmo Canyon
When Ultimate escapes his HP doesn’t recover, and when it finally reaches 20,000 he will head to Cosmo Canyon. This is where he can finally be defeated; if the player has reduced his HP to anything lower than 20,000 in the previous battle it will automatically be restored to 20,000 for this fight. Upon death, Ultimate Weapon will cast Shadow Flare on the character that dealt the killing blow, making this boss one of the few sources of the Shadow Flare enemy skill.
When defeated, he crashes to the ground creating a large crater that allows the party to access the Ancient Forest without the aid of a Chocobo.
Following defeat, Cloud Strife receives his strongest sword, the Ultima Weapon, and the party is able to encounter Ruby Weapon in the sands surrounding the Gold Saucer. It should be remembered, however, that this boss is entirely Optional other than the Mideel battle, but is definately worth fighting this creature for the prizes it holds.
I don’t remember exactly, but I seem to remember that the weapons aren’t released onto the map until after you’ve defeated diamond weapon, which is someone you fight through the storyline.
