Alpha Weltall, also known as OR Weltall (for Original Weltall) in the Japanese version, is a Gear that Lacan used 500 years ago that was aligned with the Anima Relic Naphtali, thus turning it into an Omnigear.
This Gear became Grahf's primary Gear, continuing to use it even after Lacan's physical body died, forcing him to seek out a new body.
It was a powerful and menacing grey and black Gear that would appear at times out of nowhere and always brought trouble with it. The Gear sports a pair of large black wings that are often retracted, only extending to full span when the Gear is at full power.
Xenogears[]
Alpha Weltall is first seen during the battle in Lahan Village. Grahf is seen with it several more times, including Fei's encounter with Grahf in the Aveh desert and when Grahf fights the party on the Goliath.
When Wiseman pilots it, Alpha Weltall takes on a white, purple and green color scheme, and its wings and pointed edges are removed. This form appears twice in the Game, first at the Zeboim ruins and again near the end of the game at the Zohar. Khan, in the guise of the Wiseman uses it to save Citan and his party from Id, who had appeared in the ruins to try to claim Emeralda for himself.
The player is presented with the opportunity to fight this Gear twice during the game, once at Mahanon (Razael) and a second time at the Zohar Cave. Because of the staggering statistics it boasts at Mahanon, Alpha Weltall is considered an unbeatable enemy.
It is, however, beatable, and will drop a unique armor called the "Slayer's Robe" if a characer is equipped with the Trader Card upon Alpha Weltall's defeat. Compared with the Alpha Weltall fought at Mahanon, the version fought at the Zohar Cave is easier.
Body Analysis[]
This Omnigear was formed approximately 500 years ago by the fusion of the Gear Lacan was piloting with the Anima Relic Naphtali. After his defeat at the hands of his former friends, Alpha Weltall was placed in suspended animation.
As an Omnigear, one of Deus' proximity defense terminals, the output of this Omnigear is incomparably greater than that of any normal Gear, to the extent that the mere release or dissipation of energy alone is enough to incinerate the surrounding area. The bio-armor covering the machine is strong enough to withstand even Goliath's 1200 sem cannon without a scratch.
The O.R.W, through its contact with Zohar, had its abilities drawn out to the extreme and underwent a morphological change similar to Xenogears. The unfurled bat-like wings on its back are a remnant of that time. Currently it functions as a control in flight and as a shield when defending.
Boss Battle[]
There are two shapes this comes in: scripted and mandatory. The scripted Alpha Weltall is considerably difficult with 99984 HP of damage required to defeat it, and every physical and ether attack doing a staggering 9999 HP of damage, while the mandatory True Weltall has the same attacks, but is much visibly weaker with 15000 HP. Alpha Weltall is actually beatable, but not without the right equipment set ups.
The best party for this battle is Fei, Bart and Billy. Fei and Bart should have three Magnetic Coats for the maximum response output. Bart also should have the SonicGWhip which breaks Alpha Weltall's Ether Machine. Billy should have two Power Magics and a MagneticCoat. Everyone should have two Evasion Rings. Fei should have the Trader Card for getting the Slayers Robe Alpha Weltall drops at the end of the battle, Bart should have the Holy Pendant and Billy should have an Ether Doubler.
At the start of the battle, use Booster on your first round. Use Wild Smile, System Id and JessieCannon next. Get Bart up to Hyper Mode next, and unleash. (A hint: when you are at attack level three and are trying to get into Hyper Mode, you can also use Ether Attacks such as Wild Smile.) Even if you win, however, this has no impact on the storyline, and the game continues as normal as if you still lost.
Trivia[]
- The novel Xenogears: A God Slaying Story, while not canon due to a timeline conflict, provides an explanation for how Alpha Weltall was removed from suspended animation and placed back into Grahf's hands after 500 years.
