Smile Re: Final Fantasy IX: Level One Ozma Challenge FAQ

--Ozma does not use Doomsday or Meteor as her first attack (60% chance)
--Ozma uses Doomsday after Curse (25% chance)

The odd of those two conditions happen in one battle lies around 60% x 25% =
15%, which means these to conditions will be met in around every seven times
you attempts to fight Ozma (100/15 = 6.66...rounds up to 7).

If you paid full attention on the entire FAQ, you may wonder why I recommend
having Zedane equipped with Chimera Armlet (guards Holy) and Pumice a piece
(absorbs Shadow and Holy) instead of Egoist Armlet (guards shadow). The
reason is because with Chimera Armlet and Pumice Piece together, the result
will be that the equipper absorbs Shadow and GUARDS Holy. And Ozma might use
Holy on a character if he/she is immune to Holy, but not if he/she absorbs
Holy, which means there is a possibility that Ozma casts Holy on Zedane as
the best scenario; and it won't do any damage on him, then you can launch an
all-out attack with four characters. But if Ozma casts Holy (or Flare,
death) and kill one person in her first turn, you can still attack with
three characters with three characters and deal 9,999 x 3 = 29,997 damage on
her, still quite good damage, just not as good as the result of all four
characters being alive and able to attack. And there is always a possibility
that Ozma kills Eiko in her first turn, and Eiko is the least important
member in your party since she can only deals 9,999 damage once by using a
DARK MATTER.

If Ozma uses Flare Star as her opening attack, it could kill Quina since
Quina's Hp is one, but this attack may miss, the odd is depending on Quina's
magic evasion stats, that's why Quina's magic evasion stats is important in
this battle; for other three characters, Flare Star only deals 50 damage on
them and I don't see how powerful it could be. But if Quina is killed by
Flare Star, you could still win this battle with a fair possibility. See my
"battle reports" in the later part of the FAQ.

After your first wave attack, Ozma will counter BERSERK once on a single
target, but it is not any big deal anyway since your characters will be
killed by curse later.

Ozma will use curse in her second turn (Mini if you are VERY, VERY lucky)
and wipe our party out, and they will be revived by Auto-Raise if they are
not killed before). If Ozma uses Doomsday after curse, it will deal 9,999
damage on Ozma and kill none of your party members. Everyone's ATB bar will
be filled during the long animation of Doomsday and you can have every alive
party members launch an all-out attack again, have Eiko use an ELIXIR to
recover Fryja's Mp since her Mp should be Zero after using two DRAGON'S
CREST. Ozma will counterattack with Berserk once again and you must pray
that it misses the target (the chance is VERY LOW). If it does affect the
target, have Ekio use a Gyshal Green if she has a chance later.

There IS a chance that Ozma will be defeated after your second wave of
attack, but most likely, she will counter Curaga once so it still leaves her
around 9,000~1,5000 left. Due to the heavy damage you have inflicted on
Ozma, she will NOT use curse in her fourth turn and she will cast CURAGA on
herself instead. You will have a chance to launch a third wave of attack. If
Ozma does not counter Curaga more than once, she will be defeated.

--Ozma must NOT use Doomsday or Meteor as her first attack (60% chance).
Have Zedane attack with THIEVERY (9,999 damage), Fryja attack with DRAGON
CREST (9,999 damage), Quina casts LIMIT GLOVE (9,999 damage) and Eiko use a
DARK MATTER (9,999 damage). It is possible that Ozma's first attack kills no
one (Holy on Zedane or Flare Star misses Quina). And if a character is
killed, it is still possible to win. The dead character will be brought back
by Auto-Raise.

--Ozma will surely counterattack with Berserk once. And MIGHT counter Curaga
once or twice.

--Ozma uses Curse as her second attack, which will kill everyone. Your
characters will be brought back by Auto-Raise if they are not killed in the
first attack. Most likely, you will have three characters available at this
point. But if Ozma's first attack did not kill anyone, you will still have
all four characters available.

--If Ozma uses Meteor after Curse (70% chance), the battle is over. Reset
your game and try again.

--If Ozma uses Doomsday after Curse (25% chance), it deals 9,999 damage on
herself and hurts no one in your party. Have everyone launch his/her best
attack. If Eiko is alive, she cannot attack anymore but have her use an
ELIXIR on Fryja. If the alive ones are Quina, Fryja and Zedane, or even
better, all four characters are alive, Ozma could be defeated after this
wave of attack if she does not counter Curaga at all (the chance is very
low)

--Ozma will use Curaga on herself as her fourth move. Have everyone launch
their attacks and Ozma should be dead, unless she counters Curaga more than
twice. In this case, hope Ozma won't use Meteor as her fifth attack. It will
take you less than twenty attempts to defeat Ozma if you followed the FAQ
and did everything, every move that this FAQ instructs.

I have defeated Ozma at level one four times so far, here is the record of
one of my victories over Ozma:

--Ozma uses Flare Star as her first attack. 50 damage on everyone and kills
Quina. Quina is revived by Auto-Raise.

--Frey uses DRAGON CREST, 9,999 damage on Ozma.

--Zedane uses THIEVERY, 7,180 damage on Ozma.

--Ozma counterattacks with Berserk and hits Zedane.

--Eiko uses a DARK MATTER, 9,999 damage on Ozma.

--Ozma uses curse and killed everyone. Zedane. Fryja and Eiko are brought
back by Auto-Raise.

--Ozma uses Doomsday, 9,999 damage on herself.

--Fryja uses a DRAGON CREST on Ozma, 9,999 damage.

--Ozma counterattacks with Berserk and misses Fryja,

--Eiko uses an ELIXIR on Fryja.

--Zedane uses THIEVERY, 7,180 damage on Ozma.

--Ozma casts Curaga on herself, 7,604 Hp was recovered.

--Fryja uses another DRAGON CREST, 9,999 damage on Ozma and the battle is
over.

Total damage: 9,999 x 5 + 7,180 x 2 - 8,304 = 49,995 + 14,360 - 7,604 =
63,355 - 7,604 = 55,751 damage while Ozma has 55,535 Hp.

Note this battle report could have a better result if Ozma's Flare Star
missed Quina during her first turn and Zedane could deal 9,999 damage with
Thievery. On the other hand, you may notice that Ozma does not counterattack
Curaga in this battle at all, so I would say that this battle is fairly
lucky. But no matter how unlucky you are, it won't take you more than twenty
attempts, Ozma is not that tough. After you defeat Ozma, you will receive a
key item that we are all looking for, the STRATEGY GUIDE, Congratulations!!!
Save your game and brag your achievements to your friends!!!
