>In order to beat this boss you needed to get a super-rare materia to get rid of the time
>In order to get that materia, you needed to go to a specific spot in the game, wait for a specific, randomly spawning monster to appear and know that you had to you a specific ability to turn it into said item

How the fuck where people supposed to be able to figure this shit out back then without the use of a strategy guide? Because that kind of information sure as hell didn't exist back in 1997 internet

"For all you ff7 fans.
I just killed the emerald weapon.
With no under water materia.
No knights of the round

Feel free to shower me with rightly deserved praise"

This guy. Knowing he would wipe my party and having him potentially spawn right next to me anytime I submerged didn't help things.

ITT hardest FF boss

Emerald Weapon. You have a 20 minute time limit to kill him and he has over 1 million HP

However. If you manage to kill him on the last second...the game crashes and resets BUT your stats increase anyway
