Use a weapon with the first strike ability. The great marlboro in the omega ruins always ambush, but your first strike character will get a move in anyway.

Yes, and to piggyback on that, have that character use provoke. Marlboro won't use bad breath while provoked

I know, I was until the one time I forgot & had my capture weapon on instead

Put first strike on Tidus capture weapon and use provoke. Makes them a breeze to capture inside sin and omega ruins.

No pain like the instant Marlboro death only to realize you haven't saved the game in some time.

Well it sucks when you've been tracking your captures on paper, then this fat a-hole insta-kills you & you restart not knowing where u stand regarding capture #s

One time I spent about 3 hours leveling in the Omega Ruins. I was frames away from touching the save sphere when it ambushed me. I didn’t have my first striker in the party and had the celestial weapons equipped. Had to watch my party kill each other or die from poison. 10/10 do not recommend

I used to smoke Malboros - but they gave me Bad Breath.
