Poor thing, it was just so confused.
Were they friends for sharing potions with it, or enemies because the blonde lady spewed acid in it's face and repeatedly subjected to massive explosions from a fake neutron star?
Omega just couldn't tell before being suicide bombed.

It works in any version of the game but only with Omega Weapon, i tried this exploit with other bosses and normal enemies and it doesnt work. To make it work you need a character with good speed (more than 61 since Omega Weapon has that speed) and throw a potion before Omega Weapon get the turn. If im honest i dont know why this work but works, i mean i dont know if there something hidden in its AI script that make it delay Omega Weapon turn.

Its fascinating, I'm sure its been an oversight in the AI somewhere or something accidently left in when they were maybe testing the data because the AI is under a scripted pattern but I'd love to know how someone found out this works, I mean it's just so specific to fire a potion at it and that stops it attacking.

FFVIII is *horribly* buggy and rather.... lacking... in the RNG department at times. Which means if you know what you are dong, you can get (theoretical) infinite Dark Matters at Galbania Prision by manipulating RNG and winning Triple Triad for example...
Which was part of the fun of playing it TBH. Breaking FFVIII's game balance in a bunch of ways is in the same vein.

I think you mean Rosetta Stones not Dark Matters, but yeah the game has some exploits/glitches but not more than FFVII xD. Talking about RNG maniputation in FFVII u can manipulate too, for example the Final Descend, you can manipulate it in such a way that you are guaranteed to have 0 battles there. (usually you have from 3 to 7)
Offtopic: I just found a new glitch in FFVIII where you can farm optional bosses items since they will respawn always u want.
I just tested it with UFO and Tomberry King, i dont know if its possible with other optional bosses, i will have to check that.
Edit: This glitch works with Omega Weapon too LMAO.

Hey Shademp
, I dont think that glitch affect any category because only works with bosses you are able to escape from battle but im not 100% sure at all because i only tested it with optional bosses. And im not involved with any community, i go solo xD I only share this stuff in my youtube channel and here in this forum, i like this community (there is no toxic ppl or atleast i didnt find any).

Well we appreciate it! I was looking through your other videos and you have a lot of good stuff. I especially appreciated watching Ruby Weapon being humiliated by Giant Cait Sith.
