How to unlock the Ruby Render trophy

    You can beat Ruby and Emerald Weapon without even pressing a button with the following setup.

    NOTE 1: You only need Cloud for this
    NOTE 2: This is NOT the fastest way to kill Ruby / Emerald Weapon but I do believe it's probably the easiest (and definitely the safest). With the materia combo below you can't really fail.

    You will need the following Materia:

    Final Attack - Mastered (x3)
    Knights of the Round - Mastered (x2)
    Revive - Level 1
    HP Plus - Mastered
    HP <-> MP - Mastered

    To obtain the above materia you will need:

    Gold Chocobo - This will be able to get you Knights of the Round and HP <-> MP together
    Ultima Weapon, Omnislash for Cloud, and W-Summon - Unlocking these items for Cloud will unlock the "Special Stage" in the Battle Arena at the Gold Saucer. Win that for the Final Attack Materia

    Revive you can purchase in Junon,
    HP Plus can be purchased in Cosmo Canyon (after you reach Mideel), if you miss the one from Rufus' send off in Junon during the story.

    Once you have mastered the required materia:

    Link the following
    Final Attack + Revive
    Final Attack + Knights of the Round
    Final Attack + Knights on the Round

    Start the battle, and then go make a cup of tea or something, when you come back Ruby / Emerald Weapon will be dead.

    This works because:
    HP Plus ensures your HP will be 9999, then swaps HP for MP so you have 999 HP and 9999 MP.
    Ruby kills you every time it does damage, which triggers Final Attack to revive you, and then cast KotR twice... each and every time you die.

    TrueSaikred's Method is great but theres a less AP grindey method I stumbled upon across the internet

    Kill 2 party members.

    Equip the remaining member with:

    KotR (Any Level) <-> HP Absorb (Any Level)
    Mime (Any Level) <-> Counter (Mastered)
    W-Summon (Optional)
    A couple of HP Plus materia

    Then:

    Engage Ruby.
    Wait for tentacle plant.
    Cast KotR.
    AFK

    After you cast KotR, Ruby will counterattack with Ultima. Then you will counter with Mime, recasting KotR. Then Ruby will counterattack with Ultima. You’ll counter with Mime. Each time, KotR will fully heal you with HP Absorb.

    About 20 minutes later, Ruby WEAPON will be dead and you will have cast KotR between 8 and 12 times, depending on how much damage each cast does.

    This is how I did it:

    One character has materia equips as following -

    w-summon, magic plus (mastered), knights of round (linked with) HP absorb, Counter (the support materia, not the purple one - mastered and linked with) Mime, Final Attack (linked with Phoenix). Opt for HP plus as well and maybe Hades if you're using safe starts.

    The other two characters should be dead before starting the fight, otherwise you won't be able to do damage to Ruby - both of theme should have the following setup:
    counter (linked with) mime, magic plus... that's all. (Opt for HP plus if needed)

    When the fight starts Ruby will burrow his hands thus making him vunerable (he will only do this if there's only one player alive and active) use Phoenix to revive your team. Then use w--summon with Knights of round twice. Then mime for all the other actions. This is somewhat risky since Ruby will counter your summons with Ultima so make sure you can endure. A safer but slower method is to use Knights of Round and Hades in your w-summon. Ruby can be paralysed by Hades causing him to not counter your summons with Ultima. Also use Ribbons since his tentacles can cast frog and/or other scary status-defects on you.

    ----

    Grinding should be done in the norther crater in the area with the water. You'll be looking for magic pots that you need to use the item Elixir on to be able to kill and Movers (orange balls in group of three). Theses enemies gives tons of AP - Use Apocalypse-sword with Cloud (found in Ancient Forrest, has 3 slots with tripple Materia growth) and Javelin for Cid (can't remember where it's found right now - but it has 5 slots and double growth)
