The Battle This battle is not fun. It is also largely based on luck and what Ozma decides to cast, just like Chaos in FF1. Keep Zidane ready to use Remedies if you can. Freya and Steiner should immediately start using their abilities that cause 9999 damage. Eiko should be knocked into trance on her first hit, so save her turn until she does so and then use your Double White command to ensure that everyone stays at full health. If party members fall during the battle then a double Full-life can save you. Use Elixirs when needed. Hey, this is the hardest battle in the game, so go all out.
You've basically got to do as much damage as fast as possible while staying on your feet. Ozma has somewhere in the neighborhood of 50,000 to 60,000 HP, which doesn't seem like a lot compared to Emerald, Ruby, Ultima, or Omega WEAPON. However, there's no Omnislash or Lionheart to save the day here. Luck is the biggest factor, and I can't stress this enough. Imagine being down to critical with your entire party and then seeing him heal you back to full with Doomsday! It's that kind of luck that you need to win, even at ridiculously high levels.
You will win the battle eventually. It might take a lot of tries, but you'll get it. As rewards, you get 1 Pumice (teaches Dagger her last summon) and 1 Dark Matter, as well as over 18,000 EXP and GP and 100 AP. Mene is quite impressed by your feat and gives you the Ozma card, the Strategy Guide key item which tells you how to get an "S" class treasure hunter rating, and finally he restores your HP/MP back to full and removes all stati from your characters.
There you go! Good luck, you're REALLY going to need it!
