04.) INTRODUCTION - G0400
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Hello! I am Damir Kolar and I welcome you to my new project. Final Fantasy VIII
was one of my favorite games back in the ye-olde-PSX time, and I've played it a
lot, probably even more than FFX. Anyway, after some pondering I decided to
finally give in and make a guide for this game.
First, I'll address some things:
- Spoiler issue - I'm the player of the game, just like you (who is reading
this guide) are. First time I've played through the game was completely by
myself - therefore nothing was spoiled for me. All the story elements
that were supposed to surprise me had such effect, hence why I do not want
include any spoilers (except names of cities, dungeons and NPCs you must
address to continue the storyline). Exception is made for names of bosses.
- Usage of abbreviations. If you've glanced over some of my other guides, you
see that long ago I've grown accustomed to using abbreviations for certain
words. Old habits die hard...
Are you ready? Power up your PSX, open the disc tray, pop in FFVIII CD, close
the disc tray, wait for some logos to appear, hit Start or Action button, and
then select New Game.
===============================================================================

#10 "DRAWABLE MAGIC" tells you info on which magics can be drawn from a foe at
any of its levels.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
#11 "DEVOUR TASTE" tells you info about effects of successful "Devour"
performed on the enemy at any of its levels. Generally, boss
foes and human/humanoid foes cannot be devoured.*3
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
#12 "MUGGED ITEMS" tells you info about items you can obtain from a foe at any
of its levels using "Mug" command.
At any foe's given level, you can steal one of four available items from
the foe. Your base chance for successfully mugging a foe can be as low as
[0/256] (nothing to steal) or as high as [255/256].
This is also very important to know: you must add [Spd/2] to the difficulty
number for the mug column (Spd = the mugger's Spd, not the target's!).
Let's divide these four available items into four slots: A, B, C, D. Upon
considering base chance for successfully mugging a foe, you have...
- [178/256] chance to mug an item from slot A
- [51/256] chance to mug an item from slot B
- [15/256] chance to mug an item from slot C
- [12/256] chance to mug an item from slot D
The order of items listed in foe's "Mugged Items" section reflects the
order of the slots, that is first item listed is from slot A, and so on.
Remember, you can only steal once from the foe! And if you successfully mug
a foe, then the foe will not drop any items post-battle.
If you're using Rare Item ability, it changes the chances of successfully
mugging an item into the following...
- [128/256] chance to mug an item from slot A
- [114/256] chance to mug an item from slot B
- [14/256] chance to mug an item from slot C
- [0/256] chance to mug an item from slot D
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
#13 "DROPPED ITEMS" tells you info about items you can obtain from a foe at any
of its levels after the battle is finished.
"Card drop:" tells you about possible card you can receive after
defeating a foe. Foe's levels don't matter in this case.
At any foe's given level, you have a chance to obtain one of four available
items from the foe. Your base chance to successfully get an item from a foe
can be as low as [0/256] (nothing to drop) or as high as [255/256].
Let's divide these four available items into four slots: A, B, C, D. Upon
considering base chance for an item to be dropped, you have...
- [178/256] chance to obtain an item from slot A
- [51/256] chance to obtain an item from slot B
- [15/256] chance to obtain an item from slot C
- [12/256] chance to obtain an item from slot D
The order of items listed in foe's "Dropped Items" section reflects the
order of the slots, that is first item listed is from slot A, and so on.
Remember, you can only get one item from one foe! And if you successfully
mugged a foe, then the foe will not drop any items post-battle.
Regarding card drops, unless the drop is 100% fixed, you have [1/16] chance
of obtaining the card as post-battle spoils.
If you're using Rare Item ability, it changes the chances of successfully
obtaining an item into the following...
- [128/256] chance to obtain an item from slot A
- [114/256] chance to obtain an item from slot B
- [14/256] chance to obtain an item from slot C
- [0/256] chance to obtain an item from slot D
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
#14 "SCAN" tells you about info on the foe which appears when foe is scanned
with "Scan" magic.
"[Fly Monster]" denotes a flying foe; as such it is immune to attacks
aligned with earth element.
"[Undead Monster]" denotes an undead foe; as such it is vulnerable to
healing items and spells, and can be insta-defeated with
Life magics or Phoenix Downs.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
#15 "ATTACK LIST" tells you about all the skills the foe can use in some way.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
#16 "NOTES" tells you about interesting info, which doesn't fit anywhere else.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
#17 *1 Generally, boss foes cannot be leveled up/down in such manner.
*2 "The End" is a special status, available only thru Selphie's Slots. When
cast, The End instantly defeats any and all foes, except those
classified as undead. In case foe has multiple forms, "The End" reduces
the HP of current form to 0 (zero), taking you straight to the next
form.
*3 When you perform "Devour" command, several things can happen:
- "Couldn't Devour!"
-> foe cannot be devoured
- "Delicious!"
-> restores MAX HP
- "Refreshing!"
-> restores MAX HP, heals status abnormalities
- "Tastes awful!!!"
-> 12,5% of MAX HP lost, inflicts Poison
- "Shouldn't have...eaten...it"
-> 75% of MAX HP lost, inflicts Poison, Darkness, Silence, Sleep,
Slow and Curse
- "Can't see anything"
-> 6,25% of MAX HP lost, inflicts Darkness
- "Tastes okay..."
-> restores 50% MAX HP
- "No good!"
-> nothing is changed
- "It's rotten..."
-> 6,25% of MAX HP lost, inflicts Zombie
- "Tastes funny..."
-> inflicts Stone
- "Barf...bwahhh!!!"
-> 50% of MAX HP lost, inflicts Poison

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And for the end, some useful things to know...
- Chr with Auto-Reflect ability is impossible to revive with Life magic. You
must use Phoenix Down or Revive ability.
- Rinoa in Angel Wing status is immune to Berserk, Silence and Confuse
statuses.
- Slow status slows down expiration rate of all statuses currently active on
target.
- On the other hand, Haste status speeds up expiration rate of all statuses
currently active on target.
- While chr is under Stop or Sleep status, chr's Eva rating is zero (0).
- Berserk and Zombie statuses increase attack power of chr affected.
- Zombified chr is immune to Death spells, and is not afraid of Doom.
- Zombied chr receives double damage from attacks aligned with holy element.
- Haste, Slow and Stop cannot co-exist at the same time. For example, if you
cast Haste on target under Slow, Slow status is replaced by Haste.
- Aura and Curse cannot co-exist at the same time.
- If an attack carries Berserk, Confuse and/or Sleep statuses, then Confuse
"takes precedense" over Berserk; and Sleep "takes precedence" over Confuse
and Berserk
- Despite its name, Vit 0 status reduces both Vitality and Spirit to zero (0),
thus making Meltdown magic an excellent opening move in any prolonged
confrontation. As added bonus there's no enemy in the game that's immune to
the status.
- Draining undead or zombified foes will cause you damage instead.
- Think that you're invincible when Hero talks? Use Darkside command and you'll
be sleeping with the fishies sooner than you thought. Kamikaze!
- Zantetsuken, Rapture and Degenerator will fail against: boss class foes,
Tonberry, Grat, Cactuar, Vysage, Lefty, Righty, PuPu, UFO?, and E-Soldier
(cyborg).
- The End instantly defeats any enemy in the game, except undead or zombified
foes. If the boss has multiple forms, The End reduces HP of current form to
zero (0), triggering the battle with next form immediately.
- If you're suffering from bad status, toss a Hero or Holy War to remove them.
Hey, who needs invincibility for tough bosses...
- Auto-Haste ability makes you immune to Slow and Stop.
- Using Drain on St-Atk-J is great when coupled with Darkside.
- Ribbon is the only way of protecting yourself against Vit 0 status.
- Petrifying and Doom counters can be "fiddled with" by setting the slider for
Battle Speed under config. The faster the setting, the smaller the counter
when it begins ticking.
- Zombifying a chr with Doom counter removes Doom.
- Protect, Shell, Aura, Double, Triple, and Vit 0 status can be applied to
anything in the game.

08.) WALKTHROUGH - G0800
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
================================== FOREWORD ===================================
The primary aim of this guide is to get you thru the game from beginning till
grand finale in the most comfortable way possible. Some of the suggestions I
make throughout the guide will require you to spend some quality gaming time
with enemies or such, but trust me when I say that it'll pay off big time in
the end.
And now... enjoy Final Fantasy VIII!
Yours truly
Damir Kolar
================================== FOREWORD ===================================
HINT: Some people take great pride in obtaining a high SeeD rank at start of
game by completing the SeeD field exam. Don't worry about that stuff, as
there's plenty chances to obtain money in other means.
HINT: You'll encounter lots of draw points in the course of game. Except in
three cases (Ultima draw point, Island Closest to Hell, Island Closest to
Heaven), drawing magics from them is useless, as it's far better to draw
magic from enemies or getting it by refining.
HINT: Regarding EXP and AP it is wise to know the following:
- If *you* are dead, petrified, or level 100, you will not gain EXP. Your
GFs will still gain EXP (unless they're dead or level 100) and AP
(unless they're dead or are not currently working on an ability).
- If you run away, you gain no AP, and you gain a percentage of the EXP
you would've gotten from the enemy, equal to the percentage of its
health that you've taken away (for example, fight something that gives
200 EXP and has 1000 HP, knock it down to 800 HP and run, and you get
20% of 200 = 40 EXP for taking off 20% of its health).
- If you petrify an enemy, it's just like running away from it: no AP,
percentage of EXP based on damage done.
- If you card an enemy, you get AP, and do not get EXP.
- If you devour an enemy, you get AP, and do not get EXP.
- If the enemy doesn't give EXP in the first place (Tonberry, most
bosses), then you won't get EXP from it, but will still get AP.

SEED MISSION #01 - SEED EXAM, FIRE CAVERN PORTION - SM#01
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
- After introductory sequence, you'll find the main protagonist lying in bed.
When Kadowaki asks you a question, answer however you like.
- Then you get the choice of naming Squall. Enter da-super-sexy-bombshell-that-
is-Quistisss! Yahoo! When you appear in a corridor with Quistis, hold down on
analog stick.
[B-Garden - Classroom]
- Squall begins at lv7, with Revolver weapon, and your current funds are 5000
gil. You have 6x Potion, 4x Phoenix Down, 2x Remedy, and 5x Tent.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Guardian Force - Quezacotl!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Guardian Force - Shiva!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- After Quisty finishes talking, have Squall examine the desk in front of him.
Choose "Turn on the power and...", then select Tutorial and you will obtain two
GFs: QUEZACOTL (1/16) and SHIVA (2/16). You can now select Tutorial from the
main menu, brought up with Circle.
- If you're a new player, then make sure you read everything in the console
(especially since this game is quite different in some terms of gameplay);
anything else of rules-value is available in the Info section of game's main
menu.
- When you viewed everything you wanted, back out with Triangle and choose "I'm
done.".
- Go right and talk to Quisty - she tells you a bit about Fire Cavern, advises
you to examine study panel (which we already did), and sets you up for a date
with her... no, wait. She just says she'll be waiting at the front gate. Eh,
close enough, and with that she's gone.
[B-Garden - 2F Hallway]
- Walk down until someone bumps into you. Pick "Are you ok?", then "Sure." to
give her a tour of the garden. I advise you to agree to it to get around a bit
quicker and also to familiarize yourself with the layout. Walk right into the
elevator screen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - your first cards
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Talk to the guy in front of the elevator - he'll give you 7 cards (Geezard,
Funguar, Red Bat, Gayla, Gesper, Fastitocalon-F, and Caterchipillar).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quisty the Bombshell - Degenerator
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- One of them is Gesper card. Once Quezo knows Card Mod, mod the card into
Black Hole and use it on Quistis to learn one of most used Blue Magics thru the
game - Degenerator.
- You can challenge other people to card games by standing next to them and
pressing Square to bring up a prompt about playing Triple Triad. Not everyone
is a player, though.
- Enter the elevator now.
[B-Garden - Hall]
- Walk to the left to find garden's directory, and Squall will explain where
everything is, and what's the function of that part of garden.

Triple Triad - Beginner's tips
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - How rare cards work
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - MiniMog card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Definitely check out the excellent Triple Triad walkthru by Sister:
db.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/final_fantasy_viii_cards_d.txt
- If you're a new player, but would still like to try your mettle in Triple
Triad, I advise you wait a bit until you gain some stronger cards. You probably
don't know yet how this minigame is played and your card deck isn't that great.
While Triple Triad is very rewarding in the long run, it would be bothersome if
you gave up on it due to early minigame experience, should you lose often.
- A good chance for first-time Triple Triad players to actively engage in card
playing is after Fire Cavern. Your hand will become stronger by having a couple
of Bomb cards and Ifrit card.
- But just for later reference - challenge the small boy running around in the
garden, as he holds a Minimog card.
- You should never mod Minimog card. It is a rare card which also acts a
prerequisite for obtaining other rare card later in the game (Card Queen quest,
to be specific). If you ever mod Minimog card before starting Card Queen quest,
than the whole quest will be closed off.
- All of lv8, lv9, and lv10 cards can be obtained on disc 4. You just need to
fulfill specific condition - completing CCGroup quest by the end of disc 3.
- The only card which is truly unique is PuPu card - although it's lv5 card, it
counts as rare card.
- Card Queen quest, CCGroup quest, and details on PuPu are all explained later
in the walkthru.
[B-Garden - Cafeteria]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequest - Cafeteria Lady
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Talk to the left lady behind the counter, pick "I'll lend an ear...", then
pick "I'll lend an ear...".
- Walk to upper right of the screen to enter another section.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Quistis card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Challenge Trepie #1 and after some card battles walk away with Quistis card.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quisty the Bombshell - Bad Breath
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- From Trepie #1 in Cafeteria get 4x Malboro card. Mod them into Malboro
Tentacle and later use this item on Quistis for her to learn Bad Breath.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Advice on getting strong cards
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you need some quick strong cards, go to Fire cave and Card some Bombs.
- Most of regular enemies will give up two different cards when defeated by
using Card command in battle. In our Bomb example - Bomb usually turns into
Bomb card, but rarely you may receive Krysta card.
[B-Garden - Library]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Magazines - Occult Fan I
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Upon entering examine the shelves to find OCCULT FAN I (1/4). That's it for
now, so now take a hike to front gate.
[B-Garden - Front Gate]
- Keep walking S until you bump into Quisty. If you didn't get the two GFs from
your study desk, she'll give them to you now. Exit to world map.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advice - How leveling up affects you and your enemies
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- First thing that I need to clear up: You don't have to strictly follow my
advise of leveling when I say so throughout the guide. Decide to do so on your
own discretion.
- Your fighting party's average level directly affects enemies' levels. It's
probably best to say that enemies comes in three levels of toughness.
- Calculated level is randomly either 4/5 or 6/5 of the average level of your
active (usually 3) party members. If the calculated level is greater than the
enemy's max level - which is 100 for all random enemies and most optional
bosses, but usually significantly less for plot bosses - then the max level is
used instead.
- Exceptions to this rule are as follows:
-> Fire Cavern is lv5
-> Loony Panda on second visit is lv1
-> Island Closest to Hell is lv100
-> Island Closest to Heaven is lv100
-> Deep Sea adds 15 to calculated level before applying the max
-> final dungeon is entirely random
-> Omega Weapon in PS version is always lv100
-> Omega Weapon in PC version has normal calc
- Lv1~19 enemy is usually the wimpiest version - it has low stats, some
mediocre magic to draw, and usually doesn't give any good items.
- Lv20~29 enemy is better - it has higher stats, better magic to draw, and it's
holding better items as well. However, some of its attacks may change and as
such it becomes tougher to defeat. Tread with caution.
- Lv30~100 enemy is best of its kin. It has the highest stats, best magic to
draw and often times best items to boot. Be careful of such enemy - again some
of its attacks may change and it is usually quite tough to defeat.
- Quistis joins at lv8, with weapon Chain Whip. Rawr!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Have Quezo learn all junction abilities it currently has, then move onto
Card, Card Mod, El.Att.J, El.Def.J, El.Def.Jx2. I think that Med Mag-RF is
useless.
- Have Shiva learn all junction abilities she currently has, then move onto
Doom (Shiva must reach Lv10), El.Att.J, El.Def.J, El.Def.Jx2.
TIP: For quick AP fight Fastitocalon-Fs on Rinaul coast, you're guaranteed to
receive 6 AP from every fight with them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Junctioning - Advice on getting some good magic
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Some good magic can be obtained from the enemies which stand at your
disposal now but to able to do so, you must gain a few levels for enemies to
start having better magic in their draw list.
-> Grat - Silence, Berserk, Confuse, Sleep
-> T-Rexaur - Quake, Firaga
-> Fastitocalon-F - Water
-> Caterchipillar - Curaga, Slow, Stop, Thundaga
-> Glacial Eye - Blizzaga
- You can already have Tornado spell as well, but you must get Abyss Worm card
first. If you don't want this spell now, move on - but Tornado is a great spell
for now to junction to Str or Mag.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squall the Lionheart - Dragon Fangs for Lion Heart gunblade
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Get first ingredient for this weapon by defeating Lv20 - Lv30 T-Rexaur.
Dragon Fangs are a rare drop, but it's worth it.
- Fire Cavern is E from Balamb.
===============================================================================
FIRE CAVERN
===============================================================================
[Fire Cavern]
- Proceed N for two tutorials (one on junctioning magic and one on using the
gunblade) and talk to one of Garden Faculties, then pick "Yes.".
- Tutorials can be skipped with Triangle button, and then re-seen in the Info
menu. While it's good for you to read them, it doesn't hurt to know that you
can skip 'em and read 'em later.
- Choose whatever times you desire, it doesn't matter for me. So what if your
SeeD rank will hurt? You can raise it later thru other means.
- The cave itself is straightforward. Proceed to the end for first boss battle
of the game.

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
Ifrit only knows two attacks - either casting Fire or jumping in the air and
then punching one member (high probability of succeeding in landing a critical
strike). Eliminate Fire threat by junctioning Fire / Fira / Firaga to El.Def.J.
As far as Ifrit's PA goes, have something on Vit-J to reduce the damage.
You may choose to toy around with him a bit. Try various Blue magic to be used
on him - Ultra Waves, Bad Breath, Fire Breath. Too bad no status can be
inflicted on Ifrit - I'd like to see him smack himself.
One last thing - I know that defeating Ifrit is a major part of SeeD exam, but
IMO you shouldn't really be bothered with that. Just kill him with whatever
timer is there on the clock and don't pay any attention as to what your grades
are going to be.
Summon Shiva to attack Ifrit...
Ifrit: 'They have Shiva!?'
Just before Ifrit does his first physical attack...
Ifrit: 'Impudent humans!'
In middle of the battle...
Ifrit: 'Hm! Not bad for a human.'
Waste Ifrit by yourself...
Ifrit: 'For me to lose to a human...'
'Very well, I will join you.'
Waste Ifrit by Shiva...
Ifrit: 'Ugh, I underestimated Shiva.'
'Very well, I will join you.'

Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You've obtained IFRIT (3/16).
- Absolutely have Ifrit learn Str+??% abilities and Str Bonus ability ASAP!!!
Then move onto El.Att.J, El.Def.J, El.Def.Jx2, Fire Mag-RF, Ammo RF. Finally,
screw Mad Rush, it's useless.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Ifrit card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- In addition to item goodies you also bagged Ifrit card. By the way, since
Ifrit card is a prerequisite for obtaining other rare card later in the game, I
advise you don't mod it.
- Backtrack out of Fire Cavern and return to Balamb Garden.

===============================================================================
BALAMB
===============================================================================
[Balamb Harbor]
- Balamb has item shop, junk shop, car rental, hotel facility.
- There's no point in getting to the town earlier in the game, since there's
not much you can do here. And there's nothing much you can do at this point as
well, so go to the boat and board it.
- You can listen to mission explanation or ignore it completely, up to you.
When prompted, you can talk to Quisty, Seifer or Zell. After you adress Zell,
choose "......Ok.", then walk outside.
===============================================================================
DOLLET
===============================================================================
[Dollet - Lapin Beach]
- We are to secure Central Square. Chaaarge!
- Lv8 Zell, equipped with Metal Knuckle, and lv9 Seifer, equipped with

half a minute and you'll hear ruckus in the background. When screen changes
POV, talk to Seifer and then follow him.
- Screen with a bridge - random battles can now be fought, so be aware!

Junctioning - Advice on getting some good magic
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This is a wonderful opportunity to stock up on some good spells!
-> Anacondaur - Bio
-> Elite Soldier - Dispel, Fire / Thunder / Ice class spells
-> G-Soldier - Cure / Cura / Curaga
[Dollet - Mountain Hideout]
- Proceed up for event battle, then keep going until Seifer leaves. Don't jump
down the cliff, instead walk around for a chance at some more battles.
- If Seifer drew any magic and had anything junctioned, all of that stuff
transfers unto Selphie.
- When you make it so Selphie, choose "Yeah, I guess so.", then lv8 Selphie
with Flail joins your party. Enter the comms tower.

Junctioning - Advice on getting lots of AP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Next bosses ahead are an excellent chance to gain over 500 AP - yep, you
heard me right, over five hundred (!) AP. So it would be in your best interest
to gain a few levels while you're around this area to be able to draw highest
class spells (Firaga, Thundaga, Blizzaga, Curaga etc.).
- There are at least four reasons why it's a good idea that you do so:
a) Likeliness of you receiving better items increases (used for refining,
getting magic, weapons upgrading etc. etc.)
b) Bosses do level up as you do, but they have a level block, ie they cannot
exceed a certain level, for example Ifrit - he can't exceed Lv 6 when you fight
him (this doesn't apply for some boss battles, tho' - you'll be warned of such
battles)
c) Higher and better spells for you to draw, thus improving your junctions
d) Having more GF abilities learned, furthermore making your gameplay easier
- When you think you're ready, board the lift and pick "Go up.".

Biggs: 'Prepare for the worst, you brats!'
Start by drawing Esunas. DO NOT attack Biggs yet! His attacks are weak and his
magic will heal you (did you remember to put correct magic on El.Def.J?). If by
any chance you get seriously hurt, heal yourself. After a few turns Wedge will
join in the fun.
Wedge: 'Major Biggs...'
'Have you finished the repairs, sir?'
'What is the enemy doing here!?'
Biggs: 'WEDGE! Where were you!?'
'No pay for you this month!'
Wedge: '...Should've stayed home!'
Now that they're two enemies to deal with, what should you do? Continue drawing
Esunas until each member has 100x Esuna stocked (no more need for stupid
Remedies). Then kick their asses into oblivion by physical attacks (Biggs may
counterattack). If you decide to plaster Wedge first...
Wedge: 'Major! We're doomed!'
Biggs: 'Stop your whining!'
Biggs will now start using Cure either on himself or Wedge. Ok, enough fun,
deplete either one's HP to 0 to meet the real boss...
Biggs: 'What the...!?'
Wedge: 'Ahhhhhh!'
And depending on what members are alive, they say the following...
Zell: 'What the hell is it?'
Squall: 'What the...!?'
Selphie: 'Huh? What is it?'
Elvoret enters the scene. First start by drawing Siren! 50% of the battle is
now past you. Other important spell to get hold of is Double (for you magic
users), but you physical users can safely skip it.
Elvoret is a boring boss... his attack pattern is always the same - for two
turns he will either physically attack somebody or cast one of two spells
(Fire, Thunder). Every third turn Elvoret will use Storm Breath. Despite it's
name this attack is not Thunder based, it is non-elemental, therefore only way
to decrease the damage is by having higher Spr or by Shell status. Don't have
any members in double digit HP and you will be fine.
Use this opportunity for Selphie's Slots limit! Try to get her use Full-Cure,
Wall, Rapture. The End is highly improbable to show up, but it can be done.
Elvoret's HP is somewhat of a medium size. A couple of good strong physical
attacks (Str-J by Shiva and Ifrit) will take him down.

Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You've obtained SIREN (4/16).
- If you still haven't had Quezo, Shiva and Ifrit learn their important
junction abilities (ie HP-J, Str-J etc.), now is the good time to do so.
-> Quezo - Card, Card Mod, El.Att.J, El.Def.J, El.Def.Jx2 (screw Med Mag-RF,
it's useless)
-> Shiva - Doom (Shiva must reach Lv10), El.Att.J, El.Def.J, El.Def.Jx2
-> Ifrit - Str+??%, Str Bonus, Fire RF, Ammo RF
-> Siren - First have her learn St.Def.Jx2, then L Mag-RF, then ST Mag-RF,
then Tool-RF, then Mag+??%, then Mag Bonus, then Move-Find, then Treatment
(gained at level 12)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Magazines - Weapons Monthly March
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You've received WEAPONS MONTHLY, MARCH ISSUE (1/7), a magazine which
discusses about items you need in order to upgrade chrs' weapons.
- You won't get much time to slack off, since 30-minutes time limit will begin
counting down.
- Go down the elevator by choosing "Go down.", and save at the nearby save
point. Killing next boss is hard and tedious, but not impossible. There are two
huge rewards if you do kill this boss - boss drops a very useful item and huge
amount of AP.
- When you think you're ready, exit the tower. There's a nasty surprise waiting
for you...

BATTLE PROCEDURE WITH NO AP
If you still don't have relevant junction abilities, you're gonna have to fight
a bit longer. It really helps if you put Thunder class magic on El.Att.J of at
least one member. Being able to inflict higher damage on the boss will prove as
a major advantage to your members in this and in upcoming fights, so why not
try to exploit these advantages right now as well? X-ATM092 is a good test
bunny to do so.:)
(Knock down) Black Widow before it is able to attack for the fifth time. If you
don't succeed, you'll get Ray Bomb-ed. Keep your HP above 300. Black's (leg
punch) and Arm Crush are launched against single ally and they don't deal
obscene amounts of damage, if you have decent Vit-J. Clash attacks all members,
so keep your HP above 300 anyway. You can Draw and cast Protect on your members
(Black Widow carries Protect (stock some if you wish) - good spell for Vit-J,
but you should have better spells already). Right, so you've got him (knocked
down)?
Zell: 'Let's get the hell outta here!'
Squall: 'Alright, withdraw!'
Selphie: 'Hurry to the rendezvous!'
*Press L2 and R2 to escape.*
Do so and you're out of harms way for now. But if you fail to escape...
Zell: 'Huh? Is it repairing itself?'
Squall: 'A self-repair mechanism...?'
Selphie: 'No more!'
Oh well, you'll have to take it down again. But this time, DO hold down escape
buttons! On next screen after the conversaton ends, run down. On next screen
HOLD left! X-ATM092 will just barely miss you. On next screen WALK down the
path, don't run! If you do, you'll have to fight Black Widow again. Next screen
run to the lower right. On the bridge there is a possibility for X-ATM092 not
to catch you by having to do various turns left and right until you get lost.;)
Oh well, just fight him again, I say. Now we're near the fountain. Save the
damn dog or not... Run past the car. Do NOT hide in the pub. One more screen
and we're out of harms way. Gooo, Quistis!
BATTLE PROCEDURE WITH MANY AP
You'll need Squall with mucho high Str-J and Thundaga on El.Att.J in critical
status (just so that he's able to pull off Renzokuken). Thundaga is for the
event if you decide not to use Renzos.
Strike 1 - When Black Widow catches you down there in the dumps, strike it down
down with your powered Squall. I manage to drain away all X-ATM092's
HP in a single Renzokuken. Then just attack him physically once more
to (knock down) and then escape. 50 AP!
Strike 2 - When Zell comments 'I thought we already busted that thing up.',
bust it up again for another 50 AP --> St.Def.Jx2 is now learned.
Switch to L Mag-RF!
Strike 3 - On the screen where Selphie jumped down the cliff, bust up the
stupid robot for third time. New 50 AP. Switch to ST Med-RF!
Strike 4 - RUN down the path for fourth busting up the annoying robot. Another
50 AP! Switch to Tool RF!
Strike 5 - On the screen where you fought first Anacondaur, meet up with robot
for the fifth time for another 50 AP! Switch to Mag+20%!
Strike 6 and onward - Fight the robot on the bridge over and over. Please note
that you can't access the menu for the time that you spend running
around on the bridge. BUT you can 'kill' the robot as many times as
you wish on the bridge (each defeat will bring 50 AP - defeat Black
Widow for twelve times and Siren will learn all her GFHP+??% and
SumMag+??% abilities before moving on). In case you don't want to do
that, run to the fountain screen and switch to Mag+40%! Then defeat
the spider for another 50 AP here to learn at least a bit of AP
needed for that particular ability. Last time you can fight the
thing is in front of the pub, which is also when you should kill it
permanently! Deplete its HP to 0 for 6 or so times in that
particular fight to finally see that damn annoyance blow up! Last 50
AP for you and a very good item.
Result: Almost every ability of your four GFs so far has been learned!

Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Still don't have El.Att.J and El.Def.J abilities learned? Now it's the second
to last time to do you whilst the enemies are still easy. Try to beef yourself
up for the upcoming battles. There's an optional boss coming up, that has two
great magics for you. I'll mention him later. For now, concentrate on gaining a
few levels and collecting whatever loose magic you may have missed.
- Again, info on what order I'd recommend you to have your GFs learn their
abilities. This is the last time I'll be mentioning these four. From next
strategy section onward only newly acquired GFs will be mentioned.
-> Quezo - Card, Card Mod, El.Att.J, El.Def.J, El.Def.Jx2 (screw Med Mag-RF,
it's useless)
-> Shiva - Doom (Shiva must reach Lv10), El.Att.J, El.Def.J, El.Def.Jx2
-> Ifrit - Str+??%, Str Bonus, Fire RF, Ammo RF
-> Siren - First have her learn St.Def.Jx2, L Mag-RF, ST Mag-RF, Tool-RF,
Mag+??%, Mag Bonus, Move-Find, Treatment (gained at level 12)
- Seifer takes the car, so you have to walk to B-Garden. Oh well.
[Balamb - Town Square]
- Enter the hotel.
[Balamb Hotel]
- Walk upstairs into one of hotel's rooms.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Magazines - Timber Maniacs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Examine the table to the right of SPN to find an issue of TIMBER MANIACS
(1/12). By reading this issue the copy of Timber Maniacs at train station
disappears (or in case you'd read station's copy first, then hotel's copy would
disappear).
- Get out of the hotel and enter Zell's house (it's on the screen with Thunder
draw point).
[Balamb - The Dincht's]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Zell card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Get Zell's card from Ma Dincht. This will add a valuable asset to your card
playing hand (Ifrit, MiniMog, Quistis). If you'll attempt to get it later in
the game, know that Zell has to be your party, otherwise Ma Dincht won't play
Zell's card.
- That's it for sightseeing, return to B-Garden.

- Walk to the left for more scenes.
- You'll receive your SeeD report and your initial rank will be announced. You
are paid a salary at regular intervals, and salary is determined by SeeD rank.
Your rank goes up according to your actions in battle, but some actions cause
it to go down as well.

[B-Garden - Dormitory Double]
- Enter your room and examine the bed, then pick "Get changed.", go back
outside and talk to Selphie for a rather lengthy scene.
- Choose "Yeah, I guess so." at the prompt (hey, who says it's going to happen
anyway?)... hey, who-da-bombshell?

What a relief. An easy battle. After getting annoyed to death by running into
X-ATM092 over and over this is something to ease off your mind. Start by
Drawing and casting Sleep on Granaldo (member with high Mag-J) or attacking
Granaldo with member that has Sleep on St.Att.J. This eliminates any and all
attacks.
So Draw the desired spells, putting Granaldo to sleep as necessary. To further
add insult to the boss/es, they can all be Degenerated and inflicted with
various statuses.

Diablos: 'Who dares disturb my sleep?'
Let's see here. Diablos has only one attack that can kill you and that is his
physical attack. How can we fix that? Use Zell (or whoever you put Siren on) to
attack Diablos until he's blinded. Diablos blinded + none of his other attacks
can kill you = victory!
But first start Drawing Holies and Flares! Remember to beef up Mag-J before the
battle with Diablos commences or else you'll be Drawing 4 or less Flares per
turn... or none at all, if Mag-J is too low.
If a member gets KOed (rare chance, but it can happen), revive him/her with
Phoenix Down. Once again, Demi and Gravija attacks *cannot* kill you in any way
possible. Screw Demi spell - we can get it thru refining later easier.
Once each member of the party has 100x Holy and 100x Flare, unleash your limit
breaks which have been aching to be used for quite some time now.

- Card Mod Quistis card into 3x Samantha Soul. Refine 1x Samantha Soul into
60x Triple with Diablos' Time Mag-RF. Triples are excellent boosters for Str
and Mag.
- If you already have Siren's L Mag-RF, check your items a bit. 1x Saw Blade
refines into 10x Death, 1x Chef's Knife refines into 30x Death, 1x Tent refines
into 10x Curaga, 1x Mesmerize Blade refines into 20x Regen and so on... Where
did I get all these items from? Card playing, of course. One more reason why
you should devote some time to card playing.
- If by a chance you've acquired some Curse Spikes from Tri-Face cards - 1x
Curse Spike refines into 10x Pain. Pain is a great magic to junction to
St.Def.J.
- Have any Gayla cards? Card Mod them into 1x Mystery Fluid per 1x Gayla card.
1x Mystery Fluid refines into 10x Meltdown, best magic for Vit-J.
- OK, from B-Garden make it to Balamb.

[Deling City - Gateway]
- Proceed N under the gateway until screen shifts. Your path further will be
blocked by a car, but there's a hard-to-see door nearby.
- Once inside the arch, use the ladded near the door to descend into the
sewers.
[Deling City - Sewer]
- Fight Red Bats there and Draw Drains from them (will prove useful for future
fights). There is also a very small area in the sewers where you can run into
Creeps. Draw Lifes from this monster (will prove useful for future fights).
- Once you're satisfied with the amount of magic you drew, return to the first
screen where Laguna and company got out of their military car.
[Deling City - City Square]
- Walk E now into next screen.
- A military car will pass by, continue on.
- On this screen you'll find Galbadia hotel - enter it.
[Deling City - Hotel]
- Take the stairs leading down (near reception) to enter club section.
[Deling City - Club]

- When in control, walk up to the piano for more scenes, then return to your
table, and finish by going upstairs.
[Deling City - Hotel]

- Aaand we're back in the skins of familiar chrs.
===============================================================================
TIMBER
===============================================================================
[Timber - City Square]
- Timber has Pet Shop, Junk Shop, hotel facility.
- Unfortunately there isn't much we'll be able to do at the moment. As soon as
you take the stairs, someone will talk to you. Respond with "But the Owls are
still around.", then leave the screen at the bottom to progress the story.
[Timber - Forest Owl's Base]
- After the introduction Squall has to fetch somebody.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Angelo card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Challenge Watts to a card game and make sure you win his Angelo card! This
card mods into 100x Elixir.
- Find 'the princess' by going N all the way to the 3rd train car. Enter the
room to find that somebody sleeping on a bed. Nice...
- Lv11 Rinoa with weapon Pinwheel will join your party, and Rinoa's limit
breaks will also be explained in a tutorial.
- Walk to the front of the train car, then follow Zell.
- Watch the long explanation of kidnapping plan, and fall asleep. Don't worry
about small details, just leave everything to me.
- Go to 2nd train car to save your game at SPN.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Magazines - Pet Pals Vol. 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Return to 3rd train car (where you got Rinoa) and examine the folded bed to
recover PET PALS VOL.2 (2/6).
- Back to front of the train, talk to Watts and choose "Yeah." to begin the
kidnapping attempt.
[Timber - Train]
- 1st screen - walk left over to Rinoa. Once she finishes talking, 5-minutes
time limit will start counting down. Get to the edge of train car and press X
to jump.
- 2nd screen - walk left over to the others. Don't worry about sensors below,
they're busted.
- 3rd screen - walk left over to Rinoa.
- 4th screen - you'll have to uncouple this car. "1" is represented as
"Circle", "2" as "X", "3" as "Square" and "4" as "Triangle" on your gamepad.
So if Rinoa relays a code "1433", you'll have to press "Circle", "Triangle",
"Square", and "Square" buttons, in that order. Understood? L1 is used to look
to your left to check up on guards' positions. Choose "Yeah." to proceed with
uncoupling - enter three codes and you're done with this part. Don't try to
enter all codes one after another, since you may be spotted by a guard - if a
guard is approaching Squall's position, press Up on d-pad to avoid being
spotted. When all codes are entered, Squall climbs back up automatically -
head a bit right to the others.
- 5th screen - almost same thing as on 4th screen, but this time R1 is now used
to look to your right (and Zell and Selphie aren't around to help you as
well), and you have to enter five codes. Choose "Yeah." at the prompt to
proceed - enter five codes and you're done with this part. Don't try to enter
all codes one after another, since you may be spotted by a guard - if a guard
is approaching Squall's position, press Up on d-pad to avoid being spotted.
After five codes are entered successfully, Squall climbs to the roof - head a
bit left over to Rinoa.
[Timber - Forest Owl's Base]
- Go save your game, then address Rinoa and choose "Yeah." to confront the
person you kidnapped.

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
Fake President: 'YOu...fEll...FOr...iT'
'kiLL...thE...REsisTanCE...'
'aMusINg... tHIs iS AmuSinG!'
Our fake friend only knows a simple physical attack. Dispose of him in any way
you wish. Now the real boss will pop up - Gerogero. Depending on what
characters are alive...
Squall: 'What the...?'
Selphie: 'Ewww! Nasty!'
Zell: '... The hell is this!?'
Easy way out is to use a Phoenix Down on Gerogero to kill him instantly. Other
items that work wonders on him: X-Potion, Elixir. Bam! Quick vistory.
Well, if you choose to fight him fair and square, here's what to do... Have a
member with Siren junctioned (in my case Zell) and put Silence (OR Pain) and
Berserk on St.Def.J. If Squall gets berserked, even better. Selphie is kinda
useless in this fight.
Good junctioned spells (Holy class, Fire class, Earth class) will do the job
done way better than in case if you'd bother summoning GFs or casting magic.
Gerogero is an annoying boss. Often he'll use 'Brrawghh!', a move that does
damage and causes Slow, Curse and Darkness statuses. Silence and Berserk are
his other two annoying attacks. If someone gets berserked, have Zell use
Treatment on that member (Zell can't be affected by Berserk, cos he has it
junctioned on St.Def.J). If you don't have Treatment yet, Draw and cast Esuna
on affected members. Gerogero conveniently has this magic to Draw.
Gerogero also knows Dispel - I wonder why? I can rarely have Reflect now
(Slots) and casting Shell and Protect on members is kinda useless cos these
statuses may be dispeled.
-------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! ---------------------
- Eh, no special or interesting rewards from this guy. When in control, talk to
Rinoa to advance the story.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

buying him a drink (the type of drink he wants varies from game to game) - if
you make a correct decision on which drink he desires, you'll receive Forbidden
card. Whichever you choose, he's now outta the way.
[Timber - City Square]
- You're now in back alley, make use of SPN and go left. Climb the stairs until
you find a big TV screen... choose any answer you desire when prompted, doesn't
matter. Rinoa leaves for the moment and Selphie joins. I will help you anytime
you want, Quisty!

Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Siren card is the greatest card so far in terms of usefulness. Card Mod it
into 3x St.Att. item, which teaches a GF St.Att.J ability. Use them wisely on
selective few GFs you have so far - but spare a single St.Att. item for now
just in case. All three battle members now are able to junction magic to
St.Att.J, one of most important junction abilities in the game.
- Exit to world map.

Quisty the Bombshell - White Wind
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squall the Lionheart - Adamantines for Lion Heart gunblade
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Go to the beach near Dollet and fight Lv30 and above Adamantoises. They have
Reflect for you to Draw. Also mug them for Whispers and use this item on
Quistis for her to learn White Wind, excellent Blue Magic. Other items of
importance are Orihalcons (mug them), which teach a GF Vit+40% ability and
Adamantines (drop items - DO NOT mug Adamantoise), which teach a GF Vit+60%
ability and are used for some of character's strongest weapons.
- Enter Roshfall forest (near Timber) and fight Ochu there. Draw and stock
Pains from Lv30 and above Ochus. Mug some Ochu Tentacles from them as well for
Quistis' weapons.
- Fight some Wendigos and Mug Steel Pipes from them. Steel Pipes refine into
Aura Stones with help of Siren's Tool-RF. Aura Stones will help you immensely.
- Card Mod Quistis card into 3x Samantha Soul. Refine 1x Samantha Soul into 60x
Triple with Diablos' Time Mag-RF. Triples are excellent boosters for Str and
Mag.
- If you have Siren's L Mag-RF, check your items a bit. 1x Saw Blade refines
into 10x Death, 1x Chef's Knife refines into 30x Death, 1x Tent refines into
10x Curaga, 1x Mesmerize Blade refines into 20x Regen and so on. Where did I
get all these items from? Card playing, of course.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequest - Obel Lake
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Close to Roshfall Forest is a body of water, known as Obel Lake. And there's
a piece of land jutting into it - stand on the piece of land and press action,
then choose "Try humming.", and "Try humming again." for a black shadow to
rise. Again choose "Try humming.", then "What is it?".
- Mr. Monkey is in the forest near Dollet, so let's go back there. When you
enter the forest, keep pressing action until a prompt appears. Choose "Throw a
rock.", then return to Obel Lake.
- Choose "Try humming." and relay the position of stupid monkey. If, from now
on, you choose "Try humming.", the black shadow will give you various clues.
I've paraphrased them a bit.
- CLUE 1: Take a break at the railroad bridge.
- Break draw point (utterly useless)
- CLUE 2: You'll find something on an island east of Timber, too.
- one of four rocks for Obel Lake
- CLUE 3: At the beach in Balamb, something special washes ashore at times.
- one of four rocks for Obel Lake
- CLUE 4: Take time off at Eldbeak Peninsula.
- hint for obtaining Luck-J Scroll on Minde Isle
- CLUE 5: There's something on top of a mountain with a lake and cavern.
- one of four rocks for Obel Lake (event battle VS 2x Thrustaevis)
- CLUE 6: South of here, there used to be a village surrounded by forests.
- forests N from Orphanage, press action on world map to find sth
- You're still not done. Choose "Throw a rock." and keep doing it until you get
a message that says "The rock skipped many many times." - now go back to forest

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
There are two boss fights ahead of you before you can claim your next GF. First
you'll have to deal with Sacred alone.
A) SACRED BOSS FIGHT
Sacred only knows one puny physical attack, but it is a powerful one - have
high Vit-J. You have two options now...
- either you let Sacred keep attacking you and he'll escape after a few rounds
- or you deplete his HP as quickly as you can before he escapes for 20 AP and
8x G-Hi-Potion (this option sounds more promising)
'THEY'RE PRETTY STRONG...'
B) SACRED AND MINOTAUR BOSS FIGHT
A bit tougher fight, but not by much. This time you're off against two enemies,
each one can regenerate HP at regular intervals. Casting Float on them is a
totally pointless idea, cos it wastes turns and it doesn't work that long.
Start the battle by Drawing and casting Protect on your members, then cast
Meltdown on Minotaur - he's your primary target. Why? Although it may seem to
be a good idea to go after Sacred first as he has less HP, it's better to get
rid of Minotaur first as he has Mower move, which attacks all members (have
high Vit or be under Protect to lessen the damage done by Mower), and also his
single-target physical attack is almost twice as powerful as Sacred's.
Have the member with Diablos attacking by using Darkside command (if same
member has Drain on St.Att.J, his/her HP will be restored). This is useful cos
it deals 3x greater physical damage than by using simple physical attack.
Sometimes during the fight if both Sacred and Minotaur are still alive, they
can use Mad Cow Special attack. Pretty powerful Earth class attack, but easy to
evade. How? Junction Float and/or Quake to El.Def.J and damage will be
nullified or even absorbed. Now that you've plastered Minotaur, go after
Sacred, the puny one. Beat him and you'll receive some items as well as two
excellent cards.
If you plaster Sacred first...
Sacred: 'BRO, I LOST...'
Minotaur: 'the brothers, defeated...'
'mighty ones...'
'may we join you?'
If you plaster Minotaur first...
Minotaur: 'the rest is up to you, brother...'
Sacred: 'THE BROTHERS, DEFEATED...'
'I GUESS WE'LL JOIN YA.'

DELING CITY

[Deling City - City Square]
- Walk NE past the car rental, then take NW exit to pop up in front of
Caraway's. Again talk to the guard and choose "Ready to answer.". Number
changes from playthru to playthru, so you'll have to go to the tomb to note it
down.
- First you'll have to enter ones, then tens, and then hundreds. So if your
number was 145... first you enter "5", then "4", and finally "1".
- Note that if your number was less than 100, then hundreds will equal "0"
(zero).
- After you give the correct answer to the guard, go right.
[Deling City - Caraway's Mansion]
- Make a save at SPN, then enter the mansion. Talk to Rinoa, pick "...Is that
an order?", and Caraway will enter the scene. Follow Caraway as he is walking
around Deling to get info on how the mission will be proceeding. When you end
up under the gateway, talk to Caraway.
- When he's gone, return to his mansion and let's get things underway!
- I'm temporarily in charge of Quisty. Yay! Try to leave thru the door and
Rinoa bumps into you.
- Screw you, Squall. Again follow Caraway thru the city until you end up under
the gateway, then talk to Caraway to "deposit" gateway team, and follow Caraway
again.
- Control is returned to Quisty. Retrace your steps to Caraway's Mansion, only
to find yourself locked it. That's just great...
[Deling City - Presidential Residence]
- Control is in Rinoa's hands. Walk around the car and go down the manhole, by
chooseing "Maybe I should check?".
[Deling City - Sewer]
- Walk W, NESC, W, NESC, W...

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
Irvine: 'Oh, I forgot to tell you...'
'For my Limit Break, Shot,'
'pull the trigger with R1.'
'Got it?'
If you followed the preparations above, Irvine is the untouchable one here. He
can't be petrified nor is he able to take fire damage (instead he'll absorb
it).
Have Irvine designated as the healer of Petrifying status in this battle,
should Squall fall victim of that status. Quickly plaster one Iguion and send
him meet his maker before concentrating your efforts on second Iguion.
Absolutely make sure to draw Carbuncle (until you do so, Iguions are under
reflect status). You simply can't allow yourself to miss her - she is the
second GF with St.Def.J ability so far and you need this ability badly for the
upcoming fights. Drain on St.Att.J should take care of your healing. This is
especially useful with Irvine when you have him use Darkside command.
You don't have any of the stuff above, ie Treatment, Darkside, Mug, etc.? Well,
in that case it will be tougher a bit, but not much.
You can Draw Cure from Iguions --> healing your members is guaranteed.
You can Draw Esuna from Iguions --> healing Petrifying status has been taken
care of.
You can Draw Break from Iguions --> if by any chance you still don't have any
Breaks, now is a good time to do so.
Apart from these tips, quickly kill one Iguion to eliminate annoying Resonance.
Then toy around with the other Iguion, but be careful of him toying around with
you, ie not forgetting to heal Petrifying status when it occurs! When you're
satisfied with the amount of magic you drew, kill the remaining Iguion.
-------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! ---------------------

New Guardian Force - Carbuncle!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- It is very advisable that you finally learn Mug character ability by Diablos
before the end of disc 1!
- Finally you have three GFs with Vit-J - Quezo, Shiva and Carbuncle.
- Carbuncle's list of recommended order for her abilities to be learnt - Recov
Med-RF, St.Att.J, St.Def.J, St.Def.Jx2, Vit+20%, Vit+40%, Vit Bonus, HP+20%,
HP+40%, Counter, Auto-Reflect
- One of the last calls for you to go and fight Diablos, if you haven't done
so yet. Flares and Holies you can draw from Lv 30+ Diablos will prove very
useful in the next boss battle.
- Exit S to red-carpet screen and examine the hatch.
- There's sniper rifle on bottom of the screen, so collect it and things move
along.

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
First it's Squall VS Seifer!
Seifer: 'Squall, you're mine!'
Seifer is no match for Squall, if you chose to follow my advice. Seifer's sword
swipe will cause puny damage to you and Fira move will be absorbed. Don't kill
Seifer too fast - Mug him for 1x Hero.
As the battle goes on...
Seifer: 'Thought I was dead, eh?'
'Not until I fulfill my dream!'
'Ugh, not bad...'
'Squall, this is it!'
If there's a chance that you're not junctioned properly or are missing
anything, take a look at Seifer's Draw list - Cura! This will help you heal
yourself without wasting Healing class magic from your stock and thus making
your junctions less effective.
And when defeated...
Seifer: 'I...lost...!?'
OK, we took care of Seify boy. Now who's next...?
Rinoa: 'I can fight if I'm with you!'
'That's why I'm here!'
Irvine: 'I have to redeem myself.'
Edea: '...The accursed SeeD.'
Edea's main weapon is (not-so)-vast array of magic spells - Blizzaga, Thundaga
and Firaga. Now think... We drew Flares before from Diablos and we put Flares
onto El.Def.J along with Protect magic. No damage to your members if you spread
out GFs with relevant abilities correctly.
You don't have that? Here's what you do in these cases...
a) Have Squall junction Drain on St.Att.J (you have either no GFs with such
ability yet or you have four GFs with this ability so far). Each attack Squall
makes will deal damage to enemy and restore the same amount of HP to Squall's
HP. Or even better - have Squall use Darkside command for killer damage. This
strategy is suitable for both Seifer and Edea.
b) If you don't have Drain, you'll have to rely on magic again. Edea's Draw
list has Cura (heal HP of members in need) as well as Life (revive KOed
members) for you to draw.
c) Have one member continuously cast Reflect on somebody and Edea will be
wasting her turns casting Dispel on member under Reflect.
If Edea manages to kill one member...
Edea: 'SeeD! Is that all you've got?'
'How boring...'
And when you finally defeat her...
Edea: 'Impudent SeeDs!'
-------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! ---------------------
- And so Squall is no more... good riddance.
- Save your game, then pop in disc 2.

Junctioning - Advice on getting some good magic
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you don't have any Silences, Blinds and such, it would be a good idea
before the next boss battle to check that GF abilities you've learned so far.
Many useful magics can be gotten from items, you just have to check it.
- Go to Floor 8 and approach the two guards, then overwhelm them in event
battle. When given a chance, arrange your junctions and familiar faces emerge
on the scene.

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
Biggs: 'I was demoted because of you!'
'I'm only a liutenant now!'
'I'll get my revenge!'
To get things heated up, for starters do the following - put Silence and
Darkness on both Biggs and Wedge to make them completely harmless.
First time Wedge is attacked...
Wedge: 'O-Ouch!'
'They're always trouble...'
This fight is also last easy chance for your members to stock up on good spells
and here they are... Biggs: Regen and Haste! Wedge: Shell, Protect and Reflect!
Did you remember to put Draw onto your battle Command box? You can Mug 1x Regen
Ring from Biggs and 1x Strength Love from Wedge. Or don't Mug them at all and
choose to receive 3x Elixir and 8x Remedy.
For fun cast Confuse on Wedge and he'll attack Biggs.:)
Biggs: 'You idiot! What are you doing!'
Wedge: 'Yikes! What was I doing!?'
Cast Confuse on Biggs...
Wedge: 'Stop pickin' on us!'
As Biggs' HP is depleted...
Biggs: 'We're just getting started.'
Now he'll start using Cure, Thundara, Slow, Haste and Regen. Pretty formiddable
foe at once - Too bad he's under Silence and can't pull any of the stuff of.
Defeat Biggs...
Biggs: 'What's the rank below liutenant...?'
As Wedge's HP is depleted...
Wedge: 'I don't wanna be demoted!'
Defeat Wedge...
Wedge: 'W-Why?'
-------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! ---------------------
- Crap. Biggsmeister sounded the alarm... oh well.

Junctioning - Advice on getting some good magic
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you don't have any Silences, Blinds and such, it would be a good idea
before the next boss battle to check that GF abilities you've learned so far.
Many useful magics can be gotten from items, you just have to check it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quisty the Bombshell - Micro Missiles
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Try to fight GIM52A and Mug few Missiles from him. Use 1x Missile on Quistis
to have her learn Micro Missiles Blue Magic.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Magazines - Combat King No. 001
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- All the way down in Desert Prison on Floor 1 there is COMBAT KING 001.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian Forces - Infinite Rosetta Stones
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Are you a patient card player that *doesn't give up easily*? Challenge the
card player on 11th floor (pay 200 Gil per card game).
- Why should you do that, cos it seems that all he gives you are crappy
Potions? Very rarely it can happen that you may receive ROSETTA STONE, very
useful item that teaches a GF Abilityx4. Cool! Having four character abilities
already at start of disc 2? Tres cool!!! Of course, you have to persevere in
playing this guy. If you want, try to nab 3x Rosetta Stone before you move on.
- Remember that this is totally optional stuff to be done! If you don't wanna
be bothered, then move on. I'll do my best in providing you with info that will
help you get thru bosses victoriously.

WARNING - MISSABLE THING COMING UP! CHARACTER REPORT
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
WARNING - MISSABLE THING COMING UP! PET NAMETAG
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
- Get CHARACTER REPORT from card player on Floor 10. If you didn't get Battle
Meter from Cid way back on disc 1, then you also won't be able to receive
Character Report.
- You can find PET NAMETAG on Floor 02 in left cell.
- With valuable stuff collected make it to Floor 13 and enter the torture room
to find Squall. After he rejoins your party, talk to Moombas and have them make
the shortcut on one of the three floors they offer (just means you won't have
to go around the whole perimeter), then leave the room.
- Press the red button in front of Squall as instructed, then go right when you
land. Check the door at end of corridor, then return to the crane.
- Floor 8 - as Zell quickly run around the perimeter as you run from pursuers.
- Floor 9 - as Squall keep going up until you hit Floor 12.
- Floor 8 - as Irvine keep going down until you hit Floor 3.
- Floor 13 - as Squall talk to Moombas to receive COTTAGE and RENAME CARD, then
take the stairs to Floor 14, then another stairs to Floor 15, and up there exit
E to get out... kind of.

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
Elite Soldier: 'You're not goin' anywhere!'
Elite Soldier suddenly knows a lot of moves. Aura, Shell, Protect, Curaga,
Meltdown... Absolutely go after Elite Soldier first to eliminate his attempts
of casting positive statuses on GIM52As. He has the lowest HP of the trio.
If either GIM52A gets Aura status (it'll cause him to deal higher physical
damage), Dispel it. If you don't have any Dispels, check the Draw list of any
enemy. Dispel! So Draw and cast it on affected GIM52A. Don't be a hero in this
fight. GIM52A has a dangerous Micro Missiles move, knocking off 50% of targeted
member's HP (25% if under Protect and 0% if under Defend). If your HP gets too
low, heal immediately. If you brought Quistis, then lower HP is not necessarily
a bad thing. Degenerator, anyone?
Ray Bomb move by GIM52A is very rarely used, as well as Thundaga (have Thunder
class magic on El.Def.J to deal with this). Put Quake or Water on El.Att.J to
waste GIM52As faster.
-------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! ---------------------
- After the scene walk back outside and try to cross the bridge. When Rinoa
alerts you to go to her position, hold RIGHT on your D-pad!

- Suggested party to send to Missile Base would be Selphie, Rinoa and Irvine,
which is then confirmed by "Go with it." and the parties separate.

[Galbadia Missile Base]
- In parking lot walk left and enter the door.
- Save your game at SPN and take the left door to find that it's locked.
There's a glowing light next to this door - examine it and left door is now
unlocked.
- Choose "Walk by quietly." when prompted (the door here leads to circuit
room), and exit E.
- Go along the catwalk and exit NE.
- Another SPN, exit SW (there is a path to the left of stairs you just came
down that leads to another part of Missile Base).
- You'll find two Maintenance Soldiers here, and they'll ask you to deliver a
message to the guys by the missile launcher - exit N.
- Exit N into missile launcher room.
- Talk to the Maintenance Soldier standing near the red light and tell him
"...To go on ahead.". In return he asks you to deliver a message to the first
two Maintenance Soldiers about how he cannot go just yet.
- Return to those two Maintenance Soldiers and talk to them again. Now they'll
ask you to go and check out the circuit room.
- Backtrack to the soldier guarding the door leading into circuit room and talk
to him. His shift is over and you have free will to do whatever you want inside
that soon-to-be-extinct room.
- Approach the panels and pick "Ahh, just hit whatever!", then "Just press
whatever!", then leave the room.
- Pick "...Try to talk my way out.", then "We were just about to go call on
you." and your team will take care of maintenance for good.
- Head for the entrance to missile launcher room - G-Soldiers need additional
manpower, so help them out by choosing "Play it cool.", then "Help out.".
- In the room talk to Maintenance Soldier, then stand on left side of the
launcher and press action to get into position. Keep pressing Square until the
launcher is pushed all the way to the right. Talk to Maintenance Soldier again
and he'll ask you to confirm the target coordinates on control panel just
outside the missile launcher room.
- Walk outside and examine the panel nearby. Choose "Target", then "Set Error
Ratio" - set it all the way right to maximum value, then press X to exit. Now
choose "Data Upload" and select "Yes". Now choose "Exit" twice and you're set.
- Go save your game, and finally talk to the soldier guarding the E stairs.
You'll be let thru at last.

Base Leader: 'Time for us to get serious!'
Haven't I heard that sometime before? Luckily for you the bozos in this battle
can be inflicted with various status abnormalities - you should especially
concentrate on Silencing Base Leader, or else he might throw Confuse at you
(did you put Confuse on St.Def.J?).
Base Leader: 'Are they from Garden?'
It's a good idea to waste Base Leader first, as he knows Cura and also has the
lowest HP of the bunch. On the other note, these guys tend to waste their turns
a lot by using Remedies if they're inflicted with various status abnormalities.
Use statuses to your advantage.
Base Soldier: 'Captain, they're too strong!'
Base Leader will start using Cura now.
Plaster left Base Soldier...
Base Soldier: 'C-Captain...'
Base Leader: 'My men! How dare you?'
Kill right Base Soldier...
Base Soldier: 'Ughhh...'
Base Leader: 'My men! How dare you?'
These guys don't have any smart spells to Draw - maybe Reflect and Confuse can
spark your interest. Otherwise just kill them.
-------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! ---------------------
- Poke around the control room until one of your party members finds the
controls for missiles. Next you'll have to find self-kablammo device - again
poke around the control room, and if nothing's found, walk thru the door into
other control room.
- Check the panels until you find self-kablammo device. Choose 10 or 20 minutes
time limit to unseal the door to your right, which acts as a shortcut to base's
exit. Choosing 30 or 40 minutes time limit means you'll have to walk all the
way around.
- Check your junctions, then walk outside...

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
Well, it's time to show this behemoth who's the meaner guy. Start the battle by
physically attacking the boss until it gets blinded. Voila, that takes care of
that annoying (Chaingun fire). If you want to be on the safe side, Draw and
Cast Protect on your party members. Don't bother casting Shell, as it's useless
in this fight
After boss takes three turns in doing (Chaingun fire) move, you will see one of
the following messages appear on the screen...
Quote 1 -- Captain: 'Stand by for beam cannon!'
Private 1: 'Yes, sir!'
Quote 2 -- Private 2: 'Setting target!'
Quote 3 -- Captain: 'Shoot 'em again!'
This is a 'warning' move, ie next move the boss will use is Beam Cannon. The
only way to lower the damage done by it is by Defend command (cuts the damage
by 50%). Also, when you see this message appear and if by any chance any of
your members is on low HP, heal that member immediately.
Okay, so you're healed and ready to take the punishment. BAM! One Beam Cannon
less. Remember, Beam Cannon ignores Shell status! Now boss will again use 3x
(Chaingun fire) move in a row before using Beam Cannon again. This goes on and
on and on...
If you successfully blind the boss, the only move you should be worried about
is Beam Cannon. So use the freebies during the time boss is busy (Chaingun
fire)-ing you to inflict severe damage on the boss.
Note: Remember not to forget to heal if needed if by chance you can't defeat
the boss fast enough before he uses Beam Cannon for the second time and
onwards...
Boss nears its defeat by the number of turrets that keep blowing up as you
deplete its HP. You know so by the following quotes:
Destroy 1st turret -- Private 2: 'AHHH! Captain!'
Captain: 'It's only one, don't worry!'
Destroy 3rd turret -- Private 2: 'Let's just get outta here!'
Captain: 'Can't let them seize this MRV!'
Destroy 4th turret -- Private 1: 'I can't control it!'
Captain: 'What!!!?'
Congrats, you just wasted BGH251F2. The fight is not over yet... You will be
greeted by Elite Soldier and 2x G-Soldier, which pose no real threat really.
Captain: 'AWWW HOT HOT HOT!'
Private 2: 'What now, Captain?'
Private 1: 'It needs repairs, sir!'
Captain: 'We'll kill 'em first!'
Just kill them fast and painless.

however long you desire in completing next storyline events. First step back
out to world map and head for Rinaul Coast.

- Rinaul Coast is the beach just S from B-Garden. Assuming you talked to the
shadow at Obel Lake, keep pressing action until prompt comes up saying "You
found a piece of rock by your foot...". Most of the time you'll find a rock
that is of no value, but eventually "It looks man-made and has some carving on
it...".
- OBEL LAKE CLUE (2/4) - S T S L R M

[B-Garden - Front Gate]
- Keep going N until Garden Faculty approaches you - respond "...I don't get
it." for event battle against Caterchipillar and Grat; go N still. You can now
return to very first Garden Faculty you saw and bunch up on him for event
battle against 2x Bomb.
[B-Garden - Hall]
- Talk to wounded guy twice to receive MEGA-POTION. Advance N more to get an
update on situation from Raijin and Fujin. Time to begin sweeping the side
rooms, so let's start with library.
[B-Garden - Library]
- Bunch up on Garden Faculty for event battle against Grat. Then talk to peeps
in library to get MEGA PHOENIX.
[B-Garden - Training Center]
- Choose "Help them" and bunch up on Garden Faculty for event battle against
T-Rexaur. Then talk to peeps nearby to get REMEDY.
[B-Garden - Parking Lot]
- Bunch up on Garden Faculty for event battle against Grendel. Then talk to
peeps in the lot to get TENT.
[B-Garden - Dormitory]
- Bunch up on Garden Faculty for event battle against Caterchipillar. There's
no items to obtain, but you can rest and recover in Squall's room.

Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unjunctionable Guardian Force - Chocobo!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Bunch up on Garden Faculty for event battle against Bomb. Then talk to peeps
in library to get GYSAHL GREENS.
- When you visit any of choco-forests in the future, catch the mama choco.
Chocoboy will forcefully give you a small chocobo as a token of appreciation.
After naming the small chocobo you will be able to summon it in battle by using
Gysahl Greens. Its summon attack is called "ChocoFire" and it does weak fire
damage to all opponents. You can level up the bird and thus allowing it to use
progressively stronger summon by using PocketStation, an accessory for PSX
which cannot be obtained easily outside Japan.
- If Bomb's level is 30+, there's a slight chance that you might Mug it for
Bomb Spirit - use it to teach a GF of your choice Kamikaze command, an
excellent desperation choice. Damage done to the enemy when using Kamikaze is
MAX HP of Kamikaze pilot x 5 (ie multiplied by five) and it can deal critical
damage as well. Example: Squall has 5000 MAX HP. Use Kamikaze and you can
expect either 25000 HP or 50000 HP of damage (max damage done can be 60000).
[B-Garden - Quad]
- Bunch up on Garden Faculty for event battle against Glacial Eye and Bomb.
When you enter the quad, choose "I'm with the headmaster faction.", then talk
to peeps to get X-POTION.

Junctioning - Advice on getting some good magic
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Choose "Help them" and bunch up on Garden Faculty for event battle against
Granaldo. Then talk to Kadowaki to get ELIXIR.
- If Granaldo is lv30+, you can Draw Pains from it.
- With all corridors examined, head for the elevator to find Xu, then enter the
elevator.
[B-Garden - 2F Hallway]
- Go to the end of the hallway and then follow Xu to the elevator.
[B-Garden - Headmaster's Office]
- Talk to Cid when he keels over, and he'll give you a key for MD level. Return
to the elevator and Squall will use the key...
[B-Garden - MD Level]

Junctioning - Advice on getting some good magic
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quisty the Bombshell - Shockwave Pulsar
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Draw Flares from lv30+ Tri-Faces (Put Sleep on St.Att.J). You can also Mug
them for either 6x Curse Spike or in rare case 8x Curse Spike. Nab 100x Curse
Spike and use Siren's Tool-RF to convert them into 1x Dark Matter (Siren HAS to
be Lv 100 prior being able to do that). Dark Matter teaches Quistis Shockwave
Pulsar, the strongest Blue Magic - damage done by it can exceed 9999 HP limit
as well.
- When the elevator stops, check the elevator's panel so that you get "...It's
not responding." bubble. Then you can examine the floor hatch next to Squall's
feet and it'll open.
- Climb down the ladder into a corridor - the fallen elevator blocks your
return point. Open another hatch in the foreground.
- When everyone lands in a pipe, a tutorial on junctioning element magic to
El.Att.J will follow. Head for the exit on right side of screen.
- Take the ladder down to next area, then take SW exit.
- Examine the valve and keep pressing Square for 10 seconds. There's no need to
rush or exert yourself too much - once it's turned, the floor on previous
screen is gone and you can take another ladder down.
- Walk down the catwalk into next area with giant pillar in the middle.
- Exit W so that Squall comments "...A dead end?", but here's another ladder.
Choose "I'll go check it out.", then climb the ladder.
- Once you break the glass, check the panels on E side of the room and you'll
remove the floor around giant pillar. Afterwards use the ladder you broke the
glass with and pick "Climb down now.", then "No.".
- Notice the glowing green lamp? Examine it to remove a portion of the steel
fence, then climb down the ladder.
- Aha, a SPN - save your game, then pull the nearby lever and approach the
door.

Time for the showdown. I expected these guys to have a joined move like Iguions
did, but luckily they don't have it. Oilboyles are dangerous in other fields
tho'! They can blind you and bestow Curse upon you, thus disabling your limit
breaks.
Cheese way No. 1: If you have Quistis in your party, simply cripple her into
yellow and use her Degenerator to subdue the bosses.
Cheese way No. 2: Attack them physically with Sleep junctioned to St.Att.J.
They're very vulnerable to Sleep status.
Cheese way No. 3: Shockwave Pulsar.
Cheese way No. 4: Kamikaze.
Well, in case you can't do any of the above cheese ways, you're in for a
challenging fight (remember to put Fire class spells on El.Att.J!). First cast
Protect on your members, if you wish. You may also cast Shell, but you'd just
be wasting turns. Instead keep on attacking - a word of warning: Oilboyles are
somewhat fast.
If you don't have any St.Def.J (but you really should have, as Status abilities
are really important) and you get Blinded, Draw and cast Esuna on affected
member - it just so happens that Oilboyles have Esuna. Oilboyles also have Cura
for you to draw.
Occassionaly one of them may use Sonic Wave, extremely annoying magical attack,
which deals damage to all targets and can inflict Curse. Counter this by
Drawing and casting Esuna on affected member/s... or rather go all out with
physical attacks. You don't really need Limit Breaks for this fight.
Oilboyles tend to start using Oil Blast counter more as they near their death
if they get physically or magically attacked. So once an Oilboyle's HP is at
about 1/3 of it remaining, use something powerful to take down that Oilboyle
with a single attack - Shockwave Pulsar, Kamikaze, anything.

- Head for the NE door now to find yet another ladder.
- On next screen head left, then approach the console. Examine the weird thing
in the middle twice and...
[B-Garden - Headmaster's Office]
- Talk to Cid twice and respond with "Yes." to take the bridge elevator, then
take the other elevator.
[B-Garden - 2F Hallway]

[B-Garden - Dormitory Single]
- Save your game at SPN, and then head for the directory panel.
[B-Garden - Hall]
- Garden Faculty will tell you to go to Master's Room, which is on B1 of the
elevator. Hold onto that for later, there's a quest we need to start.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequest - CCGroup quest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This is the first point in the game when you can start CCGroup quest.
- Primary thing to be done is to win at least 20 (or more, I think) card
battles within B-Garden.
- Go to B-Garden lobby and talk to the guy, who keeps mentioning CCGroup to
you. He'll reveal himself as Jack of CCGroup and challenge you to a card game.
Defeat him.
- Then go to screen with paths leading to cafeteria, dormitory and garage. Look
for the guy that goes '.....' when you try talking to him. This is Club of
CCGroup. Challenge him and beat him.
- Head for B-garden lobby again. Wait for two girls that like to talk one after
another to stop at the B-Garden directory. It appears they're Diamond duo of
CCGroup. Beat them.
- Head for infirmary and challenge Kadowaki (former CCGroup King) to a card
game and beat her.
- These are all CCGroup members you can beat so far.

NORG: 'BLUE-YELLOW-RED.'
'LOTS-OF-MAGIC-WHEN-RED!'
'AS-LONG-AS-COLOR-STAYS,'
'I-WILL-ATTACK-SeeD-WITH-MAGIC.'
Note: Left and Right Orb can't be destroyed no matter what you do.
When some turns take place...
NORG: 'Bujurururu...'
For starters Mug Left Orb for few Mag Up-s and Right Orb for few Spr Up-s. Also
be careful of either orb turning red. If it does, it's no biggie... if you're
junctioned properly, you can take the pain. It's funny when Right Orb tries to
Dispel Auto-Reflect status, but it'll miss.
Always make sure that the member who has Treatment on is protected against
statuses that boss can use against you. Well, once you steal those items from
Orbs, destroy NORG Pod. Since it doesn't attack, it's easy. Once the Pod is
history, NORG himself steps onto the field.
NORG: 'DAMN-THOSE-SeeDS!'
'THIS-IS-MY-GARDEN!'
'YOU-CAN'T-DO-AS-YOU-PLEASE!'
First thing to do is to Draw Leviathan. You just can't miss him... you can't
afford to miss him. Doing this will take away NORG's ability to cast Water -
instead he'll now start using Blizzara, Slow, Silence and Protect... hmmm,
nothing majorly dangerous. Mug NORG for 1x Circlet.
If you're tired with NORG, you can just use Kamikaze on him and he'll die.
Truthfully, NORG is not hard. With right junctions (heck, even if one member is
junctioned properly, you can win any battle!) the victory is yours guaranteed.
NORG: 'I'M-DONE-FOR!'
'I'M-AFRAID-OF-YOU!'
'ME-WHY-ME...?'

learn this first, as it offers 3rd Spr-J junction so far and you need it
badly), Spr+20%, Spr+40%, Spr Bonus, Supt Mag-RF, Recover, El.Att.J,
Auto-Potion, GFRecov Med-RF.
- Take the elevator up and head for infirmary.
[B-Garden - Infirmary]
- Talk to Kadowaki, respond with "Yes, now.", then talk to Cid by choosing "I
want to make a report.", "The real meaning of SeeD.", "About Sorceress Edea.",
"About Master NORG.", "About what to do next.". When done questioning Cid, head
for garden's directory to find Xu. Head for 2F deck now.
[B-Garden - 2F Deck]
- Cid tasks you with finding Ellone. She's in the library (so that I spare you
from searching).
[B-Garden - Library]
- Walk all the way to the right...

Start the battle by physically attacking the boss until it gets blinded.
Furthermore, Beam Cannon now cannot ignore Shell - even more, you don't even
have to bother Shelling your members, as Beam Cannon does crap damage to
targetted member. Further insult brings the fact that BGH251F2 has even less HP
than when you fought it in Missile Base. Don't forget to Mug the boss for 1x
Adamantine (in case you don't have a big supply of those already).
Boss on Darkness, Beam Cannon's crap damage, less HP - victory!
-------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! ---------------------

Junctioning - Advice on getting some good magic
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Meteor and Flare - go to Centra continent and visit the forests on Cape of
Good Hope. Rarely you may run into Ruby Dragons there. If they're Lv 45+, you
can Draw Meteor from them (put Sleep on St.Att.J).
- Pain - lv30+ Ochus have this magic.
- Full-life - from optional boss Tonberry King.
- Meltdown - visit Trabia continent and encounter Gaylas. If at lv30+, you will
be able to Draw Meltdown from them.
- Triple - from optional boss Odin.
- Death - visit Centra Ruins and Draw Death magic from Tonberries.
- Haste - refine this magic from Lightweights (dropped by Vysage & co.)
- Quake - Draw from lv30+ T-Rex.
- Tornado - Draw from lv30+ Thrustaevis.
- Ultima - 5 grans Draw Point at Shumi Village will let you stock up on these.
- Aura - defeat Blue Dragon (Bika Snowfield, Trabia Crater) for Fury Fragments.
1x Fury Fragment refines into 5x Aura with Leviathan's Supt Mag-RF.

WARNING - MISSABLE THING COMING UP! GF REPORT
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequest - CCGroup
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Carbuncle card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Gilgamesh card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Leviathan card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Quezacotl card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Ifrit card (obtain again)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Odin card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Read previous entry for this quest to learn how to start it. Now is your
chance to finish it for good...
- CCGroup Queen: Do you wonder who the queen is? Talk to Xu - whoa! Challenge
her to a card game and win! She also has Carbuncle card.
- CCGroup King: OK, now you have to be patient a bit. Go to Squall's room,
stand next to the bed and choose any two of upper options. Wait until screen
goes dark. If it becomes bright again, try again. Keep trying and eventually
King will show up... WHAAAT? King will challenge you. Win! But wait! King also
has Gilgamesh card - THE card you should be looking for. King will play you
from now on only in Garden's Cockpit. So go there and challenge the King for so
long until you get Gilgamesh card.
- CCGroup Joker: He's found in Training Center. He randomly appears at the
pier. Challenge him and win - he will upgrade Battle Meter with GF report (if
you have it, that is). He also has Leviathan card.
- Mayor Dobe should hold Quezacotl card.
- Martine (on the screen to the right of mayor's house) has Ifrit card, which
you can now try getting back.
- Defeat Odin at Centra Ruins to receive Odin card (getting Odin is
counter-productive in the long run, so I suggest you don't obtain him).
- IMPORTANT - Only cards you should keep for further playing are: Minotaur,
Ifrit, Seifer and Diablos and some random Lv6 or Lv7 boss card (we'll waste
Sacred and MiniMog for other purpose).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You already have a bunch of powerful cards, which means it'd be a good time
to mod some of these into items, that will make your progress easier...
- Zell: 3x Hyper Wrist (Str+60%)
- Quistis: 3x Samantha Soul (Triples)
- Leviathan: 3x Doc's Code (Med Data)
- Carbuncle: 3x Glow-Curtain (Auto-Reflect)
- Gilgamesh: 10x Holy War
- Angelo: 100x Elixir
- Rinoa: 3x Magic Armlet (Spr+60%)
- Siren: 3x St. Atk. (St.Att.J) --> Use 1x St. Atk. item on Quezo (in case
you've gotten Siren card now - in my case I've taught Quezo, Shiva and Ifrit
St.Att.J cos I got Siren card way earlier)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unjunctionable Guardian Force - Phoenix!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Obtain Phoenix Pinion - and Phoenix may come to your rescue sometimes.
- Phoenix Pinion can be found in Winhill (the village is S from Desert Prison
and is already marked on your map) by kicking small chocobo on a screen with
"Warning! Chocobos!" a few times. Last item you collect will say that you got
Phoenix Down, but check your inventory and you'll see that you receieved
Phoenix Pinion).
- One Phoenix Pinion may be gotten by temporarily completing Shumi Village
quest. Shumi Village is on N-most continent and is also already marked on your
map.
- Do you have 3x Mega Phoenix? Use Siren's Tool-RF and refine 3x Mega Phoenix
into 1x Phoenix Pinion.
- Now that you have Phoenix Pinion in your possession, use it in any battle.
From now on, when all of your membere are defeated, ie KOed, there is a small
probability that you can be revived by Rebirth Flame.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quisty the Bombshell - Complete Blue Magic list
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quisty the Bombshell - Ray Bomb
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- By now the only thing missing on Quistis' Blue magic list is Ray Bomb. Hmmm,
where can you get a Power Generator? Head for Centra continent and engage
Blitzes there. At high levels there is a rare possibility that you may Mug
Blitz for 1x Power Generator.
- Here's the info on where can you get the remaining Blue Magics in case you
missed some and you don't want to be bothered by cards...
- Ultra Waves - Spider Web - Caterchipillar
- Electrocute - Coral Fragment - Creeps, Cockatrice
- Lv?Death - Curse Spike - Forbidden, Malboro
- Degenerator - Black Hole - Gesper (I suggest modding its card into 1x Black
Hole or Diablos card into 100x Black Hole), Wendigo
- Aqua Breath - Water Crystal - Fastitocalon-F, Fastitocalon
- Micro-Missiles - Missile - GIM52A (you have to wait a bit), Death Claw
- Acid - Mystery Fluid - Gayla
- Gatling Gun - Running Fire - SAM08G (but you have to wait a bit)
- Fire Breath - Inferno Fang - Ruby Dragon, Hexadragon
- Bad Breath - Malboro Tentacle - Malboro (Grandidi Forest!)
- White Wind - Whisper - Adamantoise
- Homing Laser - Laser Cannon - Elastoid, Belhelmel
- Mighty Guard - Barrier - Behemoth (I'd suggest going after 10 of its cards!)
- Shockwave Pulsar - Dark Matter (need 100x Curse Spike and Lv100 Siren) - get
Curse Spikes from Malboro, Forbidden
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian Forces - Super Fast AP Gain
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Have some GFs whose abilities take forever to learn and you don't want to
wait for so long? Fear not, for there is an enemy that will make your life way
faster.
- With your mobile B-Garden head for Centra and go as close as you can to
desert area (Kashkabald Desert). Get off, go thru the canyon too small for
Garden to pass thru and make your way as close as you can to a small island on
which a funny green thing keeps popping out of the ground. In your menu it will
now read Esthar - Cactuar Island.
- Have Squall and Selphie (have her Strange Vision) on your team with a third
one that has Diablos junctioned (high Hit-J!). Also junction Water to El.Att.J
and Sleep to St.Att.J.
- Everything you'll fight there is Cactuars and more Cactuars.
- Cactuars have very high Evade stat, but they can't escape 255% Hit rate. And
if Str-J of your members is high (recall magic tips from this section), one
Cactuar will go down with one hit.
- Each defeated Cactuar nets you 20 AP, so go on a killing spree!
- Watch those AP come together in no time. Also make sure that you drop by
this area often when you obtain new GFs in the future.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequest - UFO Sightings
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Go to Mandy Beach as this is the first area where UFO will appear.
- Enter Kash Desert as this is the second area where UFO will appear.
- Enter Winhill Bluffs as this is the third area where UFO will appear.
- This is as much as you can do for UFO quest.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequest - Doomtrain GF
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- For this GF you need specific items, which are:
- 6x Malboro Tentacle: Mug or defeat Malboro for a few of them.
- 6x Steel Pipe: Wendigos are your best friends.
- 6x Remedy+: Just nab together 60x Remedy. Why? Wait until disc 3.
- Mystery item: What is it? You'll have to wait until disc 3.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Characters - "Bonus-type" Character Abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Ifrit's Str Bonus, Brothers' HP Bonus, Carbuncle's Vit Bonus, Leviathan's Spr
Bonus - what is so special about those? Choose three members to level up - I'd
go with Irvine, Zell and Squall for now. Then KO Zell and Squall and go for
Lallapalloza Canyon where Vysages lurk - these are greatest EXP givers so far.
Junction Ifrit, Bros, Carbuncle and Leviathan to Irvine and let the games
begin. Kill Vysage trios easy, fast and painless with Irvine's Flame Shot limit
break.
- For each level up Irvine gains he will also gain:
-> additional +30 HP at each level up
-> additional +1 Str at each level up
-> additional +1 Vit at each level up
-> additional +1 Spr at each level up
- And when he reaches Lv 100, you'll have your jaw drop on the floor when you
take a look at statistic values without anything junctioned to them. Then
complete the same sequence with Zell, Squall and Quistis.
- If you don't want to be bothered by leveling up too much, I guess that about
30 or so levels for every of these four members will be okay - have each member
reach *at least* Lv 55.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Junctioning - Advice on great character set-up
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Here you will find much needed info on what abilities should your GFs learn
by now. Enjoy this step by step guide.
- Go to Timber and visit Pet Shop there. Buy 100x Amnesia Greens. Waste all the
money on those if you have to.
- Use Amnesia Greens on your GFs and make them forget all GF HP+??% abilities
as well as all SumMag+??% abilities to make much needed space for new
abilities.
- We'll deal with following three GFs a bit closer: Quezo, Shiva, Ifrit.
- Make the three of them forget Magic, Draw, GF and Item abilities, cos you'll
use the slots for learning other more useful abilities. I'd get rid of Boost
and El.Def.J as well.
- STRENGTH
-> Card Mod Zell card in 3x Hyper Wrist
-> Hyper Wrist teaches GF Str+60% character ability
-> Use 1x Hyper Wrist on Quezo, 1x Hyper Wrist on Shiva, 1x Hyper Wrist on
Ifrit
- VITALITY
-> Go fight Adamantoises at Long Horn island beaches or on the beaches on
Dollet continent. Do NOT Mug them or else you won't get Adamantines.
-> Adamantine teaches GF Vit+60% character ability
-> The least amount of Adamantines you'll need is three, but it is advised
that you get at least 10 (some member's best weapons require Adamantine)
-> Use 1x Adamantine on Quezo, 1x Adamantine on Shiva, 1x Adamantine on Ifrit
- MAGIC
-> Personally I think this is a really useless stat, but anyway... you should
Be looking for Royal Crowns
-> Right now (or better yet, in the near future) you can only get one measly
Royal Crown
-> Royal Crown teaches GF Mag+60% character ability
-> Defeat Tonberry King and it'll drop 1x Royal Crown
-> Use 1x Royal Crown on Quezo (as Quezo is junctioned to Quistis and she is
more of a magic user than the physical attacker)
- SPIRIT
-> Card Mod Rinoa card into 3x Magic Armlet
-> Magic Armlet teaches GF Spr+60% character ability
-> Use 1x Force Armlet on Quezo, 1x Force Armlet on Shiva, 1x Force Armlet on
Ifrit
- AUTO-REFLECT
-> Card Mod Carbucle card into 3x Glow Curtain
-> Glow Curtain teaches GF Auto-Reflect character ability
-> Use 1x Glow Curtain, 1x Glow Curtain on Shiva, 1x Glow Curtain on Ifrit
- FINAL SETUP OF QUEZO'S, SHIVA'S AND IFRIT'S ABILITIES
-> This is a short recap of what abilities would these three GFs be advised
to have so far. I've taken the liberty of putting it down by numbers from
1 to 22 (22 is max number of abilities a single GF can learn). The
abilities for all three are the same, except their special abilities.

WARNING - MISSABLE THING COMING UP! GUARDIAN FORCE ODIN
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
===============================================================================
CENTRA RUINS
===============================================================================
- Centra ruins are found on Centra continent, which is S from FH. Structure
itself isn't hard to locate.
[Centra Ruins]
- There are two purposes of this visit: optional bosses Tonberry King and Odin.
Both join you as GF (Odin isn't junctionable, though) if you defeat them.
- Odin is more of a nuisance then help. I can't count the amount of times Odin
has appeared for me when I didn't want him to (trying to Draw Meteors from Ruby
Dragon). I strongly advise against getting Odin.
- To be able to fight Odin, you have to make to his hiding place in less than
20 minutes. If you don't succeed, you're ejected from the dungeon and have to
try again. If timer runs out while you're battling him, he'll use Zantetsuken
for 100% game over, and you won't be able to retry.
- To find Tonberry King, you have to defeat approximately 20 Tonberries (do not
Card them). When one of the Tonberries keels over and dies, T-King appears
immediately in the battle. You can exit Centra Ruins and save your game, then
go do something else if you wish - your kill counter will not reset.
- Let's begin by exiting N to NESC, then climb the stairs to NESC, and another
set of stairs to NESC.
- Enter the structure, then step on the elevator block to be carried higher.
- Climb left ladder, and climb up another ladder until you reach a doorway. Go
inside and examine the panel for blue orb to appear and start some machinery.
- Go back outside, and climb down the two ladders. Examine the blue orb on the
altar and a set of stairs shall appear around the pillar - exit E and climb the
stairs.
- You'll enter a small section with ladder on the left and stairs on the right.
Let's name this point of impact (POI). Climb the ladder, examine the statue and
remove the left eye. Then take the stairs to reach the top.
- Take another ladder to climb on the roof. Examine the statue and insert the
left eye. You'll receive a code, which you should write down, because it
changes from game to game. Afterwards remove both eyes, then climb back down
and return to POI screen.
- Climb the ladder, examine the statue and insert both eyes. A cloud of smoke
will appear on the right - use directional buttons to enter the code you were
given at the top.
- Leftmost cipher is the number on top, and rightmost cipher is the number on
bottom. When you enter the correct numbers, press Triangle and "Code
Accepted." message will appear.
- The door below you will open - once you enter, you will confront Odin.

Draw Triples from Odin. Also stock up on Death if you haven't done so already.
Mug Odin for 1x Luck-J Scroll (this item teaches GF Luck-J ability). But be
careful not to dawdle for too long, otherwise you'll get Game Over.

- If you obtain Odin now, you will be "missing" him at the end of disc 3.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Use Luck-J Scroll on Ifrit in order for him to learn Luck-J (as he's
junctioned to Squall in my game). You're totally free to use that item on
whatever GF you desire.
- With Odin out of the picture there is no more time limit, so you can now
focus on wasting Tonberries in peace.
- Likewise, if you choose not to get Odin, do the following - enter the ruins,
kill five Tonberries, exit to world map, save and repeat. When T-King finally
appears, you'll be having around 10~12 minutes left on your timer to waste it.
- Tonberries appear en-masse on third screen of Centra Ruins.

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
Absolutely cast Meltdown on it first. This guy has highest HP amount you ever
saw so far - whopping 250000 HP at Lv100. The lower its level, the lower HP
amount you'll have to deal with.
Squall and Zell (or Irvine) should be the attackers for this round. Squall
Renzokuken-ing, Zell Punch Rush-ing and Booya-ing, Irvine Armor Shot-ing (use
Aura Stones or Auras).
Have Quistis as the medic for this fight - have her use Defend and all Tonberry
King's attacks against her are now useless (as they're all physical attacks).
When Tonberry King knocks out either one of two members, have Quistis Draw and
cast Full-life on KOed member, then use Defend again.
It's Sharp! will usually kill targetted member unless under Protect / Defend
status. However, if targeted member has killed less than 334 enemies, then
he'll still survive (providing he has 9999 HP of course).
Junk is less (or more) powerful than It's Sharp!, and is used after Tonberry
King has been target of five actions and targets all members. Be under Protect
to halve the damage. By the way, gravity based attacks do not work on Tonberry
King and you're not able to Drain Tonberry King.
So basically - have the male members doing their limits, while Quistis is on a
stand-by (by Defend command) to heal KOed members when necessary and then
putting her under Defend again. If by a weird chance Quistis gets KOed, revive
her immediately.
Tonberry: 'I... I'm sorry.'
Tonberry joined your party!
Note: If it looks bad for you, you can escape the battle.
-------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! ---------------------

Unjunctionable Guardian Force - Odin!

New Guardian Force - Tonberry!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You got one new GF - Tonberry (9/16).
- You got one more GF - Odin. Like Phoenix, Odin cannot be junctioned and will
appear at whim at start of battle. Once he does, all of your enemies will be
defeated.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Here's the recommended order for Tonberry's abilities: Initiative, Haggle,
Sell-High, Familiar, Call Shop. Screw Move-HP Up and Auto-Potion, as they're
useless.
===============================================================================
SHUMI VILLAGE
===============================================================================
- Shumi Village has hotel facility.
[Mystery Dome]
- Enter the structure.
[Shumi Village - Deserted Village]
- There's 5000 gil Ultima draw point (not really worth it) - enter the
elevator.
[Shumi Village - Elevator]
- Exit the elevator.
[Shumi Village - Village]
- Enter the first house.
[Shumi Village - Hotel]
- Does the music sound familiar? Walk back outside.
[Shumi Village - Village]
- Exit W to second part of village. This screen has elder's house, which you
can't enter at the moment, so exit W again for third part of the village, then
enter the far W house.
[Shumi Village - Residence]
- Walk to the back side to find Laguna's statue, then answer "Ok." to be
granted access to elder's. Back out and enter the other house on this screen.
[Shumi Village - Residence]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Magazines - Timber Maniacs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This is the Artisan's house. Examine the book on the bed for another issue of
TIMBER MANIACS (9/12); visit elder's now.
[Shumi Village - Residence]
- After elder is done talking, try to leave - elder will ask you to assist the
sculptor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequest - Laguna's Statue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Talk to sculptor and he'll ask you to find five stones - choose "Alright."
You need shadow stone, wind stone, life stone, water stone and blue stone.
- BLUE STONE - It's on this very screen, just to the left of Laguna's statue.
- WIND STONE - It's the big bluish rock between the first two houses you saw
upon entering the village when exiting the elevator.
- LIFE STONE - It's on the screen where elder's is. Look for tree's roots and
keep pressing action until Squall climbs up and retrieves the stone.
- SHADOW STONE - It's on the screen with Ultima draw point. When you step outta
the elevator, walk along lower-right of the stairs and Squall will comment
"What's this?". Press action around this spot and you'll retrieve the stone.
- WATER STONE - Enter artisan's and examine the kitchen sink to retrieve this
stone.
- Now visit elder's and after the scene attempt to leave. You'll get
PHOENIX PINION, and then choose "Explain what it all meant.". You can now leave
for world map.
===============================================================================
WINHILL
===============================================================================
- Winhill has hotel facility, item shop.
[Winhill Village]
- Go N once for a choco-music to start playing. Kick small chocobo once to
obtain VASE PIECE, then kick it again for GYSAHL GREENS, and again for PHOENIX
PINION (note that the game will say Phoenix Down).
- Exit N, then enter the florist's house.
[Winhill - Residence]
- Talk to the woman inside, then examine the flowers in the foreground, and
pick "Yes.", then examine the flowers again to obtain VASE PIECE. Back outside
and exit N, then enter the pub.
[Winhill Pub]
- Go upstairs and talk to the woman three times, then go downstairs for another
apparition - approach it and examine it to have it turn into a cat, then
examine the cat for VASE PIECE. Back outside and enter N-most house.
[Winhill - Mansion]
- Talk to the guy on the stairs to find out he's missing a vase. Note that
Quisty must be in your party. On this screen on left side approach a suit of
armor and examine it - assuming Quisty is in your party, walk away from it
afterwards and then collect the green feather to obtain VASE PIECE. Give all
pieces to the man to obtain HOLY STONE. Back to world map.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequest - Obel Lake
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Mandy Beach is the island just E from Timber. You can get on it with your
mobile B-Garden now. Assuming you talked to the shadow at Obel Lake, keep
pressing action until prompt comes up saying "You found a piece of rock by your
foot...". Most of the time you'll find a rock that is of no value, but
eventually "It looks man-made and has some carving on it...".
- OBEL LAKE CLUE (3/4) - R E A I D R
- OK, now back to B-Garden and floor it for Balamb.
===============================================================================
BALAMB
===============================================================================
[Balamb - Town Square]
- It's a wise idea to bring Zell along. Talk to him, then talk to G-Soldier
near gas pump, then talk to two people on this screen and again try approaching
the G-Soldier, and finally enter the town to deliver a message to the
commander, who is residing in the hotel.
- Go to the hotel and try to enter it - go find the captain. Before that enter
Zell's.
[Balamb - The Dincht's]
- Enter right room to find Zell's mom, then try going upstairs to enter Zell's
room. You can now rest when you examine the bed (since you can't stay in
hotel). Go back outside and to the harbor.
[Balamb Harbor]
- Have a talk with the soldier near the dog in the harbor to find out that he
just caught some fish and is going to eat them right away.
- BTW, if you check behind the cars on the right, you'll find Tabloid Guy, who
has three clues for you regarding captain's location (gold for 30k gil, silver
for 15k gil, and bronze for 5k gil). Now worth it, by a longshot - return to
Zell's.
[Balamb - The Dincht's]
- The captain was using their kitchen to cook the fish... now where could he
be? Return to the harbor.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
WARNING - MISSABLE THING COMING UP! GUARDIAN FORCE PANDEMONA
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
[Balamb Harbor]
- Examine the dog and it'll run off - follow it to the train station.
[Balamb - Station Yard]
- There's the captain, but he ran off.
[Balamb - Town Square]
- He went to front of the hotel...

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
Zell: 'You'll pay for this, Raijin!'
Easiest thing to do is to bestow Darkness upon all bosses and Silence upon
G-Soldiers. Cast Meltdown on Raijin to nullify his Vitality or else it'll take
forever to waste him. Be sure to Mug Raijin for 2x Str Up. Or if you choose not
to, you will still receive 1x Str Up once the fight ends (along with some
crappy items that G-Soldiers drop).
You can bypass healing needs by junctioning Drain to St.Att.J. Each time you
attack, you'll be healed. Add Darkside to the mix and you will deal 3x greater
physical damage.
Raijin: 'Ughhh, you got me, ya know...'

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
Raijin: 'Time to get serious, ya know!?'
Easiest thing to do is to bestow Darkness upon both of them (it's harder to
Darkness Fujin, but it's possible) and thus nullifying their annoying physical
attacks (however, her Zan move seems to always hit). Fujin may use Remedy to
counter the negative statuses you've put on her or Raijin.
The fight usually starts by Fujin casting Tornado (take care of it and Aero by
junctioning Wind magic to El.Def.J). From then on she'll continuously cast Aero
or Tornado. Stop her from doing so by Drawing Pandemona. Now she'll start using
physical attacks - Zan and Sai. Be wary of her Sai, which lowers targeted
member's HP to 1 regardless of junctions. She'll start using Sai once her HP is
seriously low.
Most importantly, DRAW PANDEMONA! Also Mug Fujin for 1x Megalixir. To bypass
her Sai, pummel on her until her HP is very low. She'll still be casting Aero
cos you haven't drawn Pandemona yet. So, when her HP is in double or single
digits, Draw Pandemona and finish her off.
Cast Meltdown on both Fujin and Raijin to nullify their Vitality. Be sure to
Mug Raijin for 2x Str Up. Otherwise you will receive 1x Str Up once the fight
ends.
Once Raijin's HP is about 2/3 depleted...
Raijin: 'Ouuuch! Not bad, ya know...'
... he'll use Hi-Potion on himself. But that just happens once, so it's no
biggie. Do not bother with summoning GFs nor casting magic - except if trying
to put a negative status upon boss/es or healing yourself.
You can bypass healing needs by junctioning Drain to St.Att.J. Each time you
attack, you'll be healed. Couple this with Darkside command for triple physical
damage output.
Defeat Raijin first...
Raijin: 'Sorry, Fujin... they got me, ya...'
Fujin: 'I... DEFEATED...'
Defeat Fujin first...
Fujin: 'I... WITHDRAW. RAIJIN, GO.'
Raijin: 'Fujin, I lost too, ya know...'
-------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! ---------------------

New Guardian Force - Pandemona!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Magazines - Combat King No. 002
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You've acquired a new GF - Pandemona (10/16).
- Here's the recommended order for Pandemona's abilities: Spd-J, Initiative,
Spd+20%, Spd+40%, Str+20%, Str+40%, El.Def.Jx2. Screw Absorb as it's useless.
- You also obtained COMBAT KING NO. 002 (2/5).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequest - Card Queen
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Kiros card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Irvine card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Pandemona card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Now it would be a good time to tackle this quest (since Galbadians have
retreated from Balamb). Go to Balamb's Train station and challenge the Card
Queen to card battle.
- Make sure she uses All or Diff trading rule. If she doesn't, just say no when
prompted and retry.
- Make sure you include Sacred and MiniMog in your playing hand along with
three other crappy cards.
- Make sure you LOSE!!! I know you don't like giving away your powerful cards,
but it'll be well worth it in the end.
- Card Queen will take both Sacred (creates Irvine card) and MiniMog (creates
Kiros card).
- She will now say something about moving to a new area. If she says Dollet,
yes! If anywhere else, reset and try again.
- Card Queen can appear in one of eight places:
-> Balamb (train station)
-> Deling City (hotel)
-> Dollet (pub)
-> Shumi Village (hotel)
-> Winhill (hotel)
-> FH (screen with save point; you can see Sun Panel in the background)
-> Esthar (presidential palace)
-> Lunar Gate (look closely, she's there)
- In disc 4 she can be found in Crash Site on Esthar continent. How the heck
did she survive certain event on disc 4? Guess her love for cards is really
strong.
- If you play Triple Triad with her and lose/win Lv8 or above card to her, then
she moves to these destinations (based on following percentages):
-> Balamb - 37,5% to Dollet; 62,5% to Deling
-> Deling City - 12,5% to Balamb; 12,5% to Dollet; 12,5% to Winhill; 62,5% to
FH
-> Dollet - 37,5% to Balamb; 62,5% to Deling
-> Shumi Village - 25% to Balamb; 50% to Dollet; 25% to Lunar Gate
-> Winhill - 37,5% to Deling; 37,5% to Dollet; 25% to FH
-> FH - 12,5% to Dollet; 25% to Winhill; 62,5% to Esthar
-> Esthar - 12,5% to Dollet; 25% to Shumi Village; 12,5% to FH; 62,5% to Lunar
Gate
-> Lunar Gate - no specifics here, I'm afraid
- Go to Dollet and enter the pub. Enter second floor. Looksie! Card Queen. Chat
with her and she'll mention that two new cards have been created - Kiros and
Irvine. Your new primary targets!
- Kiros card: Go to Deling and enter Shopping Arcade. There's a man in black
whom you should challenge to a card game as he's holding Kiros card. Win it!
- Irvine card: Go to FH. Enter Mayor's house and challenge Flo to a card game
as she's holding Irvine card.
- Little brat known as Card Queen's son (he's the boy that kept screwing up
artist's pictures in the bone quest) now holds Sacred and MiniMog cards
for you to obtain back.
- Currently this wraps up Card Queen quest.
- Balamb Hotel's owner now holds Pandemona card. Challenge him to a card game
and be sure to squeeze it from him.

SEED MISSION #14 - EXAMINE TRABIA GARDEN'S SITUATION - SM#14
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
- Now go and visit Trabia Garden on Trabia continent (it's marked on your map).
===============================================================================
TRABIA GARDEN
===============================================================================
[Trabia Garden - Front Gate]
- Examine the green net to get inside, then exit N.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Magazines - Weapons Monthly August
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- As soon as you enter the screen, look to your right. In foreground you can
collect WEAPONS MONTHLY, AUGUST ISSUE (5/7).
- Talk to Selphie's Friend, and answer "Just play along with it.", then exit E
to the graveyard.
[Trabia Garden - Cemetery]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Magazines - Timber Maniacs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- To the left of the draw point you'll find an issue of TIMBER MANIACS (10/12).
Now exit W two screen.
[Trabia Garden - Garage]
- Exit E.
[Trabia Garden - Classroom]
- There's a console with info on Selphie here, otherwise exit W.
[Trabia Garden - Garage]
- See the scene with Selphie, hike to the cemetery.
[Trabia Garden - Cemetery]
- See the scene with Selphie, hike to the garage.
[Trabia Garden - Garage]
- Exit W.
[Trabia Garden - Festival Stage]
- Exit W.
[Trabia Garden - Athletic Ground]
- Attempt to leave - few scenes will roll. As Squall follow Irvine, then talk
to small kid outside (there's more of these small kids, but you don't have to
talk to them all), again as Squall approach the five kids, and then follow
Irvine. Then talk to Irvine, then to Quisty, then to Selphie, then to Rinoa.
You'll be back at world map.
[Trabia Garden - Front Gate]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Selphie card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Challenge Selphie's friend to a card game after the long story sequence at
basketball yard is finished, as she holds Selphie card. Return to Shumo Village
now.
===============================================================================
SHUMI VILLAGE
===============================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequest - Laguna's Statue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Shumi Village - Residence]
- Visit sculptor's house and talk to elder's attendant (he was ordered to help
with the statue before). Go see the elder and talk to him, which is followed by
talking to the Moomba outside elder's house.
- Hike back to sculptor's and talk to attendant, then return to the elder and
talk to him. Waltz to sculptor's once more to talk to attendant... enough with
walking already! Go see artisan and talk to him, but he kinda doesn't want to
help. Guess who's next - the elder...
- Now you have to go to FH and visit Grease Monkey - upon entering his house
the small Moomba doll will run to you, and Monkey will give it to you. With
this return to artisan's in Shumi Village and artisan will finally cave in. Go
to sculptor's again to watch the statue being finished.
- Finally one more visit to the elder and you will receive STATUS GUARD.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequest - Chocobo Forests
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Chicobo card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- There are seven chocobo forests.
-> Trabia - Winter Island (near Shumi Village)
The Beginner's Forest
-> Trabia - Sorbald Snowfield
The Basics Forest
-> Centra - Nectar Peninsula (NE corner of Centra continent)
Forest of Solitude
-> Trabia - Bika Snowfield (near Trabia Garden)
The Roaming Forest
-> Centra - Lenown Plains (near Edea's House)
Forest of Fun
-> Esthar - Talle Mountains (SW end of Esthat continent)
The Enclosed Forest
-> Esthar - Grandidi Forest (only accessible by a chocobo)
Chocobo Sanctuary
- When you enter a choco-forest for the first time, it would be a wise idea to
listen to kid's explanation. Basically, you have to use ChocoSonar and
ChocoZiner until there's only one chicobo left. Then talk to it by pressing X,
and mama chocobo will appear.
- After mama-choco pops up, use ChocoZiner at correct spot to call her over and
she'll dig up some items for you. Wow, they all suck!
-> The Beginner's Forest: Aura Stone
-> The Basics Forest: Flare Stone
-> Forest of Solitude: Protect Stone, Meteor Stone
Note: To find the spot for stones, you have to challenge chocokid to a
game of cards, then decline and he'll move to a different spot. The
bastard was standing on the damn spot!
-> The Roaming Forest: Shell Stone, Holy Stone
-> Forest of Fun: Meteor Stone, Flare Stone, Ultima Stone
-> The Enclosed Forest: Meteor Stone, Holy Stone, Ultima Stone
- By having mama-choco dig out the stones you'll be considered a chocowhiz!
Complete this exercise in all six forests, and then you're granted entrance to
Chocobo Sanctuary.
- To reach the sanctuary, hoppalongcassidy to choco-forest on Bika Snowfield,
and hop on your choco, than take her for a ride towards Grandidi Forest. You'll
have to cross some shallow waters on your way. Once you enter Chocobo
Sanctuary, view the scene and Chicobo card is yours. DO NOT mod it further, cos
we'll use it later on disc 3.
- If you're running low on Gysahl Greens, you can buy more from Chicobo. Or
rather, it'll steal gil from you. 600 per greens, I'm afraid.

Junctioning - Advice on great character set-up
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Here you will find some more needed info on what abilities should your GFs
learn by now.
- For starters use some Amnesia Greens and make Quezo forget El.Def.Jx2 - same
goes for Shiva and Ifrit.
- It's time to specialize in various helpful character abilities that increase
statistics.
- SPEED
-> Card Mod Irvine card into 3x Rocket Engine
-> Rocket Engine teaches GF Spd+40% character ability
-> Use 1x Rocket Engine on Quezo, 1x Rocket Engine on Shiva, 1x Rocket Engine
on Ifrit
- It's time to specialize in various helpful character abilities that increase
your odds against your adversaries.

-> Element Guard teaches GF El.Def.Jx4 junction ability
-> Use 1x Element Guard on Quezo, 1x Element Guard on Shiva, 1x Element Guard

Quezo, as it is junctioned to Quistis in my game (and she doesn't have any
St.Def.J)
- FINAL SETUP OF QUEZO'S, SHIVA'S AND IFRIT'S ABILITIES
-> This is a short recap of what abilities would these three GFs be advised
to have so far. I've taken the liberty of putting it down by numbers from

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
Quistis: 'I don't think G Garden uses GF.'
Zell: 'Do people here know GF?'
Irvine: 'Never knew about this one.'
Rinoa: 'Mr. GF, give us your power!'
Selphie: 'Is this a GF!?'
Squall: 'Ahh... let's just take it.'
Cerberus: '... PRETTY CONFIDENT.'
'LET'S SEE HOW YOU DO.'
Cerberus has a wide array of moves at his disposal. Do not be afraid of him, he
is not that tough. Always have a member on standby (in my case Quistis) and
watch what Cerberus is using. If he casts Triple on himself, have Quistis (or
whoever else) cast Dispel on Cerberus. Under Triple Cerberus will be using
Thundaga, Dispel, Silence and Blind and critical (Tail whip).
If not under Triple, you're looking at Berserk, Quake, Tornado and (Tail whip).
As you can see, all of his moves can be rendered useless by junctioning
correctly - I covered most aspects of what to junction so that the only damage
you'll take is that of (Tail whip). Put Drain on St.Att.J (combine this by
using Darkside command!) and healing your characters is taken care of.
Mug Cerberus for Spd-J Scroll, and Draw Triples from Cerberus. If you're
junctioned correctly, he can't even touch you - well, he can, but only by (Tail
whip).
Quake and Tornado can be absorbed (by Quake and Tornado on El.Def.J). To
nullify Berserk, have Berserk on St.Def.J. Have Drain on St.Att.J. Have one
member with Dispel on standby. Draw Triples like no tomorrow. Mug Spd-J Scroll.
Cast Dispel whenever Cerberus uses Triple on himself. Then most moves Cerberus
will use will be trying to cast Triple on himself. When satisfied, defeat him.
When you knock off about half of his HP...
Cerberus: 'SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!'
Well, fulfill his wish and kick his ass.
Cerberus: 'NOT BAD... MORTALS.'

Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Cerberus card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Another GF is yours - CERBERUS (11/16).
- Here's the recommended order to learn Cerberus' abilities: Spr-J, Spd-J,
St.Def.J, St.Def.Jx2, St.Def.Jx4, Mag-J, St.Att.J, Spd+20%, Spd+40%,
Auto-Haste, Alert. Screw Expend2x-1, as it's useless.
- Banging the last boss also netted you Cerberus card.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Junctioning - Advice on great character set-up
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- One more section on info for which abilities should your GFs learn by now.
- It's time to specialize in various helpful junction abilities that will
allow you to improve your magic junctions.
- SPEED
-> I really advise that you Mug Cerberus for 1x Spd-J Scroll
-> Spd-J Scroll teaches GF Spd-J junction ability
-> Use Spd-J Scroll on any GF except Pandemona or Cerberus
- You now have 2 GFs with Spd-J junction ability and 1x Spd-J Scroll. I advise
to put Pandemona on Squall, Cerberus on Zell, and use Spd-J Scroll on Quezo as
it is junctioned to Quistis in my game
- Now you finally have three characters that have:
-> HP-J
-> Str-J
-> Vit-J
-> Mag-J
-> Spr-J
-> Spd-J
-> Hit-J (Squall doesn't need it, and I know that Diablos and Cerberus are
both junctioned to Zell, who doesn't need double Hit-J and double
Abilityx3, but soon you get another GF, so just bare with me for a while)
-> El.Att.J
-> El.Def.Jx4
-> St.Att.J
-> St.Def.Jx4 (you only have two so far, one on Quezo - junctioned to
Quistis, and one on Cerberus - junctioned to Zell --> only Squall still
needs St.Def.Jx4, but St.Def.Jx2 will suffice so far)
- FINAL SETUP OF QUEZO'S, SHIVA'S AND IFRIT'S ABILITIES
-> This is a short recap of what abilities would these three GFs be advised
to have so far. I've taken the liberty of putting it down by numbers from
1 to 22 (22 is max number of abilities a single GF can learn). The
abilities for all three are the same, except their special abilities.

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
Seifer: 'Let's go after them monsters!'
He has some new moves, but nothing breath-taking. Take care of Fira and Firaga
by having Fire class magic on El.Def.J. Take care of Demon Slice by having high
Vit-J. Otherwise all he has left are (Sword swipe) and Hi-Potion. This time
around Seifer has crap items. Mugging gets you 8x Mega-Phoenix and dropping
gets you 8x Mega-Potion... yawn.
Strike Seifer a few times...
Seifer: 'Show me what you got.'
'I'll show you who's the better man!'
After about half of his HP is gone...
Seifer: 'Ready to die, Squall?'
'Kneel before me!'
He will say this before using Demon Slice. This move can target any single
member. Damage can be halved by Protect or even nullified by Defend.
After about 3/4 of his HP is gone...
Seifer: 'Is that all you got!?'
'I can't be beaten.'
He will start using Hi-Potion on himself. Oh well, no biggie... you can choose
toying around with him for a little longer.
After about all of his HP is gone...
Seifer: 'This can't be! Why!?'

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
Seifer: 'I'm the sorceress' knight.'
'You'll never...get past me.'
First you have to waste Seifer again. He is no threat, as he can only do Fira
and his poor (Sword swipe). But before you knock him out, Mug him for Hero or
possibly Holy War.
Seifer: 'I can't afford to lose.'
Defeat Seifer...
Seifer: 'Ughaah!'
'... Damn, I'm disgraced.'
Now it's time to take care of Edea. She on the other hand has improved her
array of moves tremendously, but... she can't kill you actually. As long as
you're junctioned properly, you cannot die once you face off against Edea.
Edea: 'Defeated... useless fool.'
'Enough play. SeeDs must die!'
She'll start the battle by casting Maelstrom, annoying gravity based magical
attack. Be sure that you have Aura or Pain on St.Def.J, otherwise your members
will get Curse status. Most importantly, Maelstrom cannot kill you no matter
how many times is it used.
Edea's Death magic can be rendered useless by Death on St.Def.J. Pain on
St.Def.J will take care of Edea's Silence magic. If you don't have Pain,
Silence will suffice.
Blizzaga magic? Fira magic? Ice class magic / Fire class magic on El.Def.J
respectively. Dispel magic? Don't bother casting support class magic on you or
use this to your advantage - have one or two members junction Auto-Reflect
character ability. Edea will waste many turns casting Dispel on such member/s.
Slow magic? No biggie. Slow on St.Def.J or junction Auto-Haste. Reflect magic?
Don't bother Dispeling it...
Oh yeah, Edea is vulnerable to Sleep status. While you're fighting her, do not
forget to Draw Alexander. Then you play basketball with Edea as much as you
want. Edea can be Mugged for Royal Crown, but why bother? Magic sucks... well,
anyway, if you don't mug it, you receive Force Armlet after battle is over.
Spr+40%? We already have Spr+60%.
However if you don't have any of this, then you're in for a tough fight... I
suggest having at least one member with Drain on St.Att.J and have that member
attack, attack, attack (preferably have him using Darkside - true, member'll
lose some HP, but they will be restored by Drain).
When Edea is defeated...
Edea: 'A...Ahhh...'
-------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! ---------------------

New Guardian Force - Alexander!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Here's the recommended order to learn Alexander's abilities: Revive, High
Mag-RF, Med Data, Med LV Up, Spr-J, El.Att.J, El.Def.Jx4. Spr+??% are kinda
useless now.
- If you haven't done so already, now is a good time to have Leviathan learn
his Recover ability which will be handy in next boss fight.
- If you need fast AP, head for Kashkabald Desert and fight Cactuars there.
Watch those AP roll in really fast.
- Now three of your characters are able to hold 3 character abilities at once.

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
Squall: 'An undead monster...'
'Use recovery-related magic and items.'
This boss battle is a piece of cake - use Elixir, Megalixir or X-Potion on
Abadon (9999 HP of damage). Recover command will also do 9999 HP of damage.
Repeat any suggested action twice and boss goes the way of the stone.
If you don't have any of this, it'll be a bit harder. One thing tho': Have
Confuse at St.Def.J as Abadon loves to use it on your party when (Standing up).
Boss can be bestowed with Darkness. And also... what's this? Curaga to Draw?
How about casting it instead on Abadon? See, the game actually allows you to
play dirty. If you get Curse, Darkness, Silence, Blind of Confuse, there's
Esuna for you to draw.
Boss has set attack pattern. Three or four rounds of physical attacks, (Stand
up), three or four rounds of magical attacks, (Sit down), the pattern repeats
itself. Please note that Abadon's Vit and Spr are extremely high when (Standing
up). It's better not to even bother attacking him.
I think I covered everything... oh yeah, Mug Power Wrist from Abadon.

Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Continuously try to enter Cheryl's Shop. Eventually you'll get ROSETTA STONE.
- At the same place continuously try to enter Esthar Shop!!!. After 20 or so
tries you'll get in. It holds some good items for you to buy. You're interested
in 5x Elixir (assuming you have Tonberry's Familiar skill learned). Buy them,
but do not use them.
- I'd say use Rosetta Stone on one of Squall's GFs. After all, Squall is the
character that will waste most bosses, so it'd be really helpful to make space
for one extra character ability, therefore use Rosetta Stone on Ifrit.

- If you have 6x Steel Pipe, 6x Remedy+ (refine 10x Remedy into one (1) Remedy+
with Alex' Med LV Up ability) and 6x Malboro Tentacle, use Solomon's Ring and
you will obtain GF DOOMTRAIN (13/16).
- Here's the recommended order to learn Doomtrain's abilities: St.Def.Jx4,
El.Def.Jx4, Darkside, Forbid Med-RF, Auto-Shell. Screw Absorb, as it's useless.
- Return to world map.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GMFS - Get Money Fast Scheme
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You'll need Leviathan and its Recov Med-RF menu ability, and Tonberry
(recommended, but not necessary) and its Haggle, Sell-High and Call Shop menu
abilities.
- You need at least 300000 Gil before you start.
- Enter the shop / Call Shop (with Tonberry's Call Shop!).
- Buy 100x Tent (will cost you 100000 Gil) and 100x Cottage (will cost you
180000 Gil) - total of 280000 Gil. If you have Tonberry's Haggle, you'll spit
out 75000 Gil for 100x Tent and 135000 Gil for 100x Cottage - total of 210000
Gil.
- Refine 100x Tent and 100x Cottage into 75x Mega Potions using Leviathan's
Recov Med-RF.
- You'll end up with 75x Mega Potions.
- Sell them back for 5000 Gil a piece. In the end you'll get 75x 5000 Gil =
375000 Gil - you get 95000 Gil profit - which kinda sucks. By having Tonberry's
Sell-High you'll sell Mega Potions back by 7500 Gil a piece, in the end getting
562000 Gil - a hefty sum of 352000 free Gil (almost 12 SeeD A class pays!).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Junctioning - Advice on great character set-up
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The time has come to provide the best junctions for three main party members
- Zell (or Irvine), Squall and Quistis.
- For starters, change your GF setup into following one:
-> Squall: Ifrit, Carbuncle, Leviathan, Pandemona, Doomtrain
-> Zell: Siren, Shiva, Alexander, Cerberus
-> Quistis: Quezo, Bros, Tonberry, Diablos
- Zell doesn't have HP-J at the moment, but we'll fix that in a jiffy.
- Head for Esthar's Shopping mall and enter Pet Shop there. If you have
Tonberry's Familiar, it's party time. Buy as much Amnesia Greens as you can and
also buy 3x HP-J, 3x Str-J, 3x Vit-J, 3x Mag-J, 3x Spr-J.
- Right now we'll again tamper with Quezo's, Shiva's and Ifrit's abilities...
-> Have Quezo forget HP-J, Vit-J and Mag-J
-> Have Shiva forget Str-J, Vit-J and Spr-J
-> Have Ifrit forget HP-J and Str-J
- Now let's concentrate on three other GFs... in my case Leviathan, Siren and
Brothers
-> Have Leviathan learn HP-J, Str-J and Spr-J
-> Have Siren learn HP-J, Str-J, Vit-J and Spr-J
-> Have Brothers learn Vit-J and Mag-J
- Squall's overview
-> Leviathan will now have all five basic stat junctions
-> Carbuncle or Doomtrain take care of St.Att.J
-> Doomtrain takes care of St.Def.Jx4
-> Ifrit takes care of El.Att.J
-> Ifrit or Doomtrain take care of El.Def.Jx4
-> Pandemona has Spd-J
- Zell's/Irvine's overview
-> Siren will now have all five basic stat junctions
-> Siren takes care of St.Att.J
-> Cerberus takes care of St.Def.Jx4
-> Shiva takes care of El.Att.J
-> Shiva takea care of El.Def.Jx4
-> Cerberus has Spd-J
-> Cerberus has Hit-J
- Quisty's overview
-> Brothers will now have all five basic stat junctions
-> Quezo takes care of St.Att.J
-> Quezo takes care of St.Def.Jx4
-> Quezo takes care of El.Att.J

LUNAR GATE
===============================================================================
[Lunar Gate]
- Walk into the big structure.
[Lunar Gate - Concourse]
- Exit W.
[Lunar Gate - Deep Freeze]
- Walk to the left, pick "...I'll do whatever it takes.", "...Trust Zell.",
choose whoever you want along, confirm with "...Yeah.", enter the capsule,
blast off.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
- Loony Panda will be rampaging thru Esthar for about 20 minutes, and you'll be
able to "fight it" on three contact points:
-> CP1 - center of the city, while the timer is between 12~15 minutes left
-> CP2 - unknown CP (possible where the skyways cross), while the timer is
between 5~10 minutes left
-> CP3 - N from shopping mall, while the timer has less than 3 minutes left
- When he's done, you can talk to him to be briefed on contact points again, or
to get some background info on Loony Panda and the dangerous beast it is.
- When you're ready, get back to the city. As soon as you're outta Odine's,
20-minutes timer begins ticking.

- If you miss CP1, then you'll have to go like this from current position: exit
E, exit SE, exit W, exit W, exit N (do not take the tube!), walk E.

E, exit SE, and voila.
- If you also miss CP3, your chances are void. There is no Game Over, just a
missed experience, so don't be too upset about it.
- If you make it in time to any of CP, an event battle against Elite Soldier
and G-Soldier must be won before party makes it inside.

RAGNAROK
===============================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angel Wing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Rinoa gained a new Limit Break called Angel Wing. When she enters this state,
you cannot control her anymore. Depending on types of magics she has in her
magic list, she'll be casting offensive spells which are five times as strong.
Now imagine giving her Meteor spell only - pure enemy barrage. The best thing
is that such spellcasting doesn't decrease her magic stock!
[Ragnarok - Air Room]
- Make use of SPN, then examine the panel to the left of the door to close the
hatch, exit N twice.
[Ragnarok - Aisle]
- It appears we have company of eight aliens to take care of. You need to

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
These guys are more of a nuisance than a real threat... if you're not
junctioned correctly, then they'll be more of a threat. Thundaga can be
absorbed by Thunder class magic on El.Def.J. Silence and Blind can be easily
countered by Pain on St.Def.J. Render BiteBite and (Punch) useless by putting
Darkness on boss or putting it to Sleep (Propagators are very vulnerable
against these statuses).
Heck, they're even vulnerable to instant death, as Odin can actually slice and
dice a few Propagators up. Or how about Lv Down-ing these annoying guys?
Tonberry's commands work wonders.
Items for mugging and dropped items are worth crap, so safely skip 'em.
-------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! ---------------------
- Now you can take the elevator up to the cockpit.
[Spaceship Landing Zone]
- Bye Rinoa, it was nice knowing you. Return to Ragnarok and go to passengers'
cabin.
[Ragnarok - Passenger Seat]
- Attempt to leave the room, then go to the cockpit.
[Ragnarok - Cockpit]
- You've obtained an airship, at last. Fly over to Sorceress Memorial structure
on Esthar continent. Ragnarok also has auto-pilot function.

[Presidential Palace - Office]
- Get closer to Laguna's desk to trigger a scene, then talk to Laguna and ask
"Where's Ellone?", "Tell me about Raine.", "What are you doing here?" (followed
by "Let's hear it."), "Explain the mission to defeat Ultimecia.". Once you ask
about anything, a new choice appears "Let me out of this room.". You can't
leave until you hear the mission briefing - while listening to it, choose
"Yes.", and "Yes." again.

RAGNAROK

Triple Triad - Squall card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Enter Ragnarok and go to passenger's cabin. Challenge Laguna to a card game
and win Squall card from him.
- Time for subquest subterfuge.

WARNING - MISSABLE THING COMING UP! PUPU CARD
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequest - UFO Sightings
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - PuPu card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fly to Heath Peninsula island for fourth UFO encounter.
- Then fly to Grandidi Forest and park Ragnarok above the Chocobo Holy Forest.
Run around a bit and you'll finally be able to fight UFO. AEGIS AMULET is yours
once it croaks.
- Fly to the area where B-Garden was originally. Run around the crater and
you'll encounter PuPu. Give him 5x Elixir and you'll receive 1x PuPu card. This
does it for sidequest. Do NOT defeat or Devour it, otherwise you won't be able
to obtain its card.
- Use 1x Aegis Amulet on Shiva (as I did in my game) or whatever GF you desire.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequest - Card Queen
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Chubby Chocobo card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Phoenix card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Doomtrain card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Well, just visit Card Queen again wherever she is. By now you should have
Alexander card and Chicobo card, next two cards that you should LOSE to Card
Queen. Chicobo card will be used to creade Chubby Chocobo card, and Alexander
card is used to create Doomtrain card.
- Return to Dollet to get Alexander and Chicobo cards back from Card Queen's
son.
- Pay a visit to B-Garden. On the bench in front of the library there is
sometimes a person sitting - he now holds Chubby Chocobo card. Challenge him to
a card game and win that card.
- Pub owner in Timber now holds Doomtrain card. Be warned tho'. He is not that
strong of a player, but it may take forever for Doomtrain card to appear in his
hand. Just be persistent and eventually you'll get it.
- Lose Doomtrain card to Card Queen (doing so will created Phoenix card). Get
Doomtrain card back from Card Queen's son in Dollet.
- Presidential Aide in Esthar's Presidential Palace now holds Phoenix card. A
card game (victorious one, of course) will nab you this card. El finito!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequest - Obel Lake
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fourth stone is located at Galbadia continent on Monterosa Plateau (somewhere
above the waterfall). Keep pressing action and once you find "A bird is warming
an egg.", defeat 2x Thrustaevis and last rock is yours.
- OBEL LAKE CLUE (4/4) - E A S N P D
- Visit Obel Lake again and talk to the shadow who will 'decipher' (in a way)
the rock for you. If you read it from right to left, starting at top, it says:
"Mordred Plains has treasure".
- Visit Mordred Plains at Esthar continent and toy around with color-faced
rocks.
-> Blue-faced rock says "Some of us just talk nonsense.".
-> Blue-faced rock says "Some of us just say the opposite of what we mean.".
-> Blue-faced rock says "Some of us just repeat the same thing.".
-> Blue-faced rock says "I don't know where the treasure is.".
- So in a nutshell:
-> Blue rocks are telling the truth.
-> Red rocks say the opposite of what they mean.
-> Black rocks repeat the same thing.
-> White rocks talk nonsense.
- You need to follow what red rocks are saying. Once you're at *the* spot, red
rock will say "The treasure's not here.". Examine the very same spot again and
THREE STARS is yours - that's one of the quests done.
- Get the shadow to tell you 'Take some time off at Eldbeak Peninsula.'
- Visit the place (it's on Trabia continent) and you'll find a stone pillar
there - keep pressing action to find it. Yet again a puzzle which reads
"TRETIMEASUREATMINOFFISLE". If you take out "TIME OFF", the message then reads
"TREASUREATMINDEISLE" - or "Treasure at Minde Isle.".
- Get LUCK-J SCROLL on Minde Isle by pressing action when roaming around - it's
somewhere in the middle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Use 1x Luck-J Scroll on Shiva (as I did in my game) or whatever GF you
desire.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sidequest - Island Closest to Hell & Island Closest to Heaven
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- All monsters fought here are at Lv100. A single member's level up per one
battle is a common thing here.
- ICTHell is the western-most island on the world map.
- ICTHeaven is the most northeastern island on the world map (a bit north of
Grandidi Forest)
- Also, equip Enc-None party ability. ICTH islands are rich with invisible draw
points containing Ultima, Triple, Meteor, Full-life and Flare. So stock 'em up
like no tomorrow.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Junctioning - Advice on great character set-up
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The time has come to provide the best junctions now for three main members:
- Zell (or Irvine), Squall and Quistis.
- If you haven't done so already, get Tonberry now from Centra Ruins (quick
strategy: defeat around 20 Tonberries and then kill King Tonberry that will
show up thereafter).
- Change the junctioned GFs like this...
-> Squall: Ifrit, Carbuncle, Leviathan, Pandemona, Doomtrain
-> Zell: Siren, Shiva, Alexander, Cerberus
-> Quistis: Quezo, Bros, Tonberry, Diablos
- Zell doesn't have HP-J now, but he will soon.
- Head for Esthar's Shopping mall and enter Pet Shop there. If you have
Tonberry's Familiar, it's party time. Buy as much Amnesia Greens as you can and
also buy 3x HP-J, 3x Str-J, 3x Vit-J, 3x Mag-J, 3x Spr-J.
- Right now we'll again tamper with Quezo's, Shiva's and Ifrit's abilities...
-> Have Quezo forget HP-J, Vit-J and Mag-J
-> Have Shiva forget Str-J, Vit-J and Spr-J
-> Have Ifrit forget HP-J and Str-J
- Now let's concentrate on three other GFs... in my case Leviathan, Siren and
Brothers
-> Have Leviathan learn HP-J, Str-J and Spr-J
-> Have Siren learn HP-J, Str-J, Vit-J and Spr-J
-> Have Brothers learn Vit-J and Mag-J
- Squall's overview
-> Leviathan will now have all five basic stat junctions
-> Carbuncle or Doomtrain take care of St.Att.J
-> Doomtrain takes care of St.Def.Jx4
-> Ifrit takes care of El.Att.J
-> Ifrit or Doomtrain take care of El.Def.Jx4
-> Pandemona has Spd-J
- Zell's / Irvine's overview
-> Siren will now have all five basic stat junctions
-> Siren takes care of St.Att.J
-> Cerberus takes care of St.Def.Jx4
-> Shiva takes care of El.Att.J
-> Shiva takea care of El.Def.Jx4
-> Cerberus has Spd-J
-> Cerberus has Hit-J
- Quisty's overvie
-> Brothers will now have all five basic stat junctions
-> Quezo takes care of St.Att.J
-> Quezo takes care of St.Def.Jx4
-> Quezo takes care of El.Att.J
-> Quezo takes care of El.Def.Jx4
-> Quezo has Spd-J
-> Diablos has Hit-J
- I'll deal with Luck-J and Eva-J on disc 4. Why? Cos I have a better solution
for your junctioning needs...
- HP-J
-> Drop Holy here.
-> It boosts your HP by 3800 HP.
-> Draw Holy from lv40+ Elnoyle or refine Holy from Holy Stone or Moon Stone.
- Str-J
-> Drop Meteor here.
-> It boosts your Str by 75 points.
-> Draw Meteor from Lv45+ Ruby Dragons.
- Vit-J
-> Drop Meltdown here.
-> It boosts your Vit by 80 points.
-> Draw Meltdown from Lv30+ Gaylas.
- Mag-J
-> Drop Whatever you wish here. I don't consider this stat that important.
-> Ultima raises Mag by 100, Triple by 70, Pain by 60, Meteor by 52 and Flare
by 44 points.
-> For Ultima refer below. Draw Pain from lv30+ Ochu or Elnoyle.
- Spr-J
-> Drop Reflect here.
-> It boosts Spr by 70 points.
-> Draw Reflect from lv30+ Adamantoise.
- Spd-J
-> Drop Haste here.
-> It boosts Spd by 50 points.
-> Draw Haste from Cactuars (put them to sleep first). Refine Haste from
Lightweight.
- Eva-J
-> Drop Triple here.
-> Boost value is dependant a bit on what is junctioned to Spd-J.
-> Draw Triple from Odin. Refine Triple from Samantha Soul, Rocket Engine or
Three Stars.
- Hit-J
-> Drop Double here
-> It boosts Hit by 40 points.
-> Draw Double from Grendels.
- Luck-J
-> Drop Aura here.

Slot 3 - Str+60% / Whatever - Quezo / Bros
---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
First off, Draw and cast Meltdown on Jumbo. Repeat if needed until it turns
into some other color (which means he's under Vit 0 status). Now, whoever has
Revive command, should never ever attack Jumbo in any way (read 'why not'
below). In my case Zell was such person - also make sure you beef up that
member's Vitality!
Have the member with Aura magic (or Aura Stones, doesn't matter) cast Aura on
Squall, who will be our main attacker for this boss. Keep using Renzokukens.
Now pay attention... after Jumbo takes damage from five attacks (be it magical
or physical), it'll counterattack by 10000 Needles against the member who
executed fifth attack - in this case it'll most surely be Squall who's gonna
croak. So have the member with Revive command revive Squall. Then cast Aura on
Squall again and repeat the process.
Of course Jumbo will not just stand there and let you pummel on him endlessly.
It knows Ker Plunk - multiple-target physical attack - and (Leg stomp) - single
target physical attack. But both can be rendered pretty much useless by having
high Vit-J.
After Jumbo's HP is only at 5% or so remaining, it will 'start hesitating'.
You'll know so by a message box that'll pop up. Now either kill Jumbo with
another Renzokuken, or Duel, or Armor Shot. Heck, even Kamikaze will take it
down - just make sure it's a single attack that takes it down. If you'll
attack it regularly, it may (Run away) and you'll have to fight it from the
beginning.
-------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! ---------------------

New Guardian Force - Cactuar!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You've bagged another GF - CACTUAR (14/16).
- Here's the recommended order to learn Cactuar's abilities: Eva-J, Luck-J,
Initiative, Defend, Kamikaze, Eva+30%, Luck+50%. Screw Move HP-Up, Expend2x-1
and Auto-Potion, since they're useless.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Characters - "Bonus-type" Character Abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Cactuar holds all five Bonus abilities. So junction following Bonus
abilities: HP (Cactuar, Bros), Str (Cactuar, Ifrit), Vit (Cactuar, Carbuncle)
and Spr (Cactuar, Leviathan).
- Cactuar on one member + (Ifrit + Bros + Carbucle + Leviathan on other member)
+ fighting Lv 100 monsters on ICTHell/Heaven = strong characters.
- Leveling up to Lv 100 with Bonus abilities junctioned is recommended a lot.
The end result will be a single character with HP stat of at least 6000 HP
(without anything junctioned to HP-J) and Str, Vit and Spr moving somewhere
around 120 for each respective junction ability.

DEEP SEA RESEARCH CENTER
===============================================================================
[Deep Sea Research Center]
- Bring Zell along, then pick "Let's hear it.", afterwards enter the structure.
[Deep Sea Research Center - Lb]
- "The blue light leads all to death. Turn back..." - this is a clue NOT TO
MOVE while blue light is emanating from the core. Only move when the core is
not shining, otherwise you enter a battle.
- Make sure you approach from the S! As you're getting closer "You have
perceived the resonance...", "So you wish to challenge me...". Answer "It's not
our will to fight." to enter event battle against Ruby Dragon.
- To "Begging me for mercy?" answer "Never." for event battle against Ruby
Dragon with back attack disadvantage.
- "Damned imbeciles. Why do you wish to fight?" - now choose third, HIDDEN
option to answer "(It's our nature...)".

Bahamut: 'I am...Bahamut.'
Squall: 'The Great GF...Bahamut.'
Bahamut: '...GF? I...?'
'Using my powers...'
'...it is you humans...I fear...'
To get rid of his (Claw swipe), put Darkness on Bahamut. Thundaga and Tornado
can be absorbed by having Thunder class magic and Wind class magic junctioned
to El.Def.J. Stop can be rendered useless by having Stop on St.Def.J.
Mega Flare packs a punch against your members. Therefore it is advised you cast
Shell upon your members to halve the damage done by Mega Flare (Shell lasts
roughly enough time for you to waste Bahamut).
So basically... Put Darkness on Bahamut, Shell on all members, cast Meltdown on
Bahamut, Aura on Squall, proceed with Renzokukens, heal immediately after Mega
Flare is used. Word of warning: do not forget to heal after you've been struck
with Mega Flare - Bahamut is capable if using it two times in a row.
For an optional boss Bahamut doesn't have that much HP - three decent Renzos
(of course, put Vit 0 on Bahamut first!) and we got ourselves 15th GF.
Defeat Bahamut...
Bahamut: 'Have you seen the light...?'

New Guardian Force - Bahamut!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Bahamut card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You've bagged another GF - BAHAMUT (15/16).
- Here's the recommended order to learn Bahamut's abilities: Mug, Rare Item,
Auto Protect. Screw Move HP-Up and Expendx2-1, as they're useless.
- Defeating this boss also netted you Bahamut Card, which can be modded into
100x Megalixir.
- You may be itching to tackle next optional boss, but I really strongly advise
against it. Here's why...
-> Curse Spikes from Tri-Faces will provide Luck-J for every member.
-> Curse Spikes from Tri-Faces will provide Abilityx4 for every member.
-> Curse Spikes from Tri-Faces will provide Ultimas for every member.
-> Ruby Dragons will provide raising member's MAX HP.
-> Barriers from Behemoths will provide Eva-J for every member.
-> Behemoths will provide raising member's Mag statistic.
- Once Ultima Weapon is R.I.P., all these enemies are gone and you have to find
them randomly (especially Behemoth is rare). Still wanna waste such a great
power source?
- Eden GF? No problem, you can get her in final dungeon.
- Before getting to Ultima Weapon, I'd advise you to at least collect 100x
Curse Spike. Siren must be at Lv 100. Then use Tool-RF to refine 100x Curse
Spike into 1x Dark Matter. With same ability refine 1x Dark Matter into 1x
Shaman Stone. Now wait until you get Eden.
- The core blew up, and there's now a hole in middle of the room. Return to
Ragnarok, press Circle to enter the cockpit, chat with all party members and
return to this room.
- Strangely enough, you can now climb down with help of some vines, and there's
also a SPN here.
[Deep Sea Research Center - Lv]
- Talk to party members until Squall finds a terminal, choose "Yes." to get an
explanation of how things work.
- Lv1: You begin with 20 RSP, and 4 are expended to unlock path to Lv2.
- Lv2: Enter with 16 RSP, examine the terminal to expend 2 RSP to unlock path
to lv3.
- Lv3: Enter with 14 RSP, examine the *left* terminal to expend 4 RSP to unlock
steam room.
- Steam room: Enter with 10 RSP, examine the terminal to recover 7 RSP.
- Lv3: Enter with 17 RSP, examine the right terminal to expend 1 RSP to unlock
path to lv4.
- Lv4: Enter with 16 RSP, examine the terminal to expend 1 RSP to unlock path
to lv5.
- Lv5: Enter with 15 RSP, examine the terminal to expend 1 RSP to unlock path
to lv6.
- Lv6: Enter with 14 RSP, examine the terminal to expend 4 RSP to unlock path
to deposit area.
- "Zell as a mechanic" - if you come to Lv6 of DSRC with 13 or less RSP, and
Zell is in your party, upon examing the terminal, you'll be asked if you want
Zell to be the one to fix the machine. If you comply, he'll punch the door
open, thus saving you 4 RSP. However, this has other "benefits" for you as
well.
[Deep Sea Deposit]
- There's SPN on this screen, and all you do is just make your way to the
bottom thru five screens.
- If you had Zell punch out the entrance to Deep Sea Deposit, you'll face three
fixed event battles on your way down to Ultima Weapon. Not even Enc-None party
ability can prevent these battles.
-> 1st screen: Tri-Face
-> 2nd screen: Grendel & Imp
-> 3rd screen: Behemoth
-> 4th screen: Ruby Dragon
-> 5th screen: 2x Iron Giant
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
WARNING - MISSABLE THING COMING UP! GUARDIAN FORCE EDEN
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
- At the bottom is another terminal. Before expending last 10 RSP, equip
Siren's Move-Find ability to spawn hidden SPN on the left - save your game,
then expend last 10 RSP to trigger a fight with Ultima Weapon.

---------------------------------- STRATEGY -----------------------------------
Ultima Weapon's main offensive lies in its speed - therefore, for you to keep
up with him (or even outrun it), it is advised that you have Spd-J on all three
members with that are going to fight Ultima Weapon - Pandemona has Spd-J,
Cerberus has Spd-J. You also have 1x Spd-J which you Mugged from Cerberus.
Don't have any of those? Then you either have two options...
- Either you return here later on disc 4 when you'll have three members with
Spd-J and kick Ultima Weapon's ass.
- You kick his ass now, but it's going to be a bit harder, since Ultima Weapon
likes to go wacky a bit.
First off, make absolutely sure that all of your members have Item or Revive
Command ability junctioned. They must be able to revive KOed members at any
given time. Also junction Quake to El.Def.J to absorb Earth damage.
The battle has started. Note that Ultima Weapon is extremely fast and if you
have poor Spd-J (or none at all), you may get your early The End. Ultima Weapon
is known to be able to use his Light Pillar twice in a succession (maybe more,
but that has yet to happen to me) and if you're left without means to revive
your members, then it's The End of the line for you. Don't rely on Phoenix to
come and rescue you often. Rebirth Flame may kick in once or twice, but third
time is highly unlikely.
Once you initiate the battle with Ultima Weapon, cast Shell on all members.
Then cast Meltdown on Ultima Weapon. (Sword swipe) can be rendered useless by
having high Vit-J (refer above for what to junction). Quake should not touch
you at all since you have Quake on El.Def.J.
High Spr will take care of Meteor a bit - in tandem with Shell damage will be
greatly reduced. Gravija's damage will be halved by Shell on your members - and
hopefully bring them into yellow status when you can unleash Limit Breaks -
have Squall Renzokuken-ing, Zell Punch Rush-ing and Booya-ing, Irvine Armor
Shot-ing - the usual way of wasting any boss.
As soon as Light Pillar is used on any of your members, revive that member
immediately. Don't bother casting Curaga on your members, heal with help of
Megalixirs instead when needed.
If you want to play extra bit safe (that is, Ultima Weapon can use Meteor right
after Gravija was casted and Meteor can potentially KO a member or two), defeat
Ultima Weapon with casting Aura on Squall when he's not in critical and have
only him Renzokuken-ing, whilst other two members are on a standby and act as
supporters / medics - they will heal / revive Squall or themselves when needed
and provide Aura status for Squall.
Don't forget to consider three things:
- DRAW EDEN! You can't afford to miss this GF.
- Draw Ultima magic if you feel daring (or if you're under Invincible status).
- Do not Mug Ultima Weapon, cos you only get crappy 1x Three Stars (I'm not
that much of a magic user). Instead it's better for you to receive 100x Ultima
Stone Ultima Weapon drops when defeated.
So in a nutshell...
Quake on El.Def.J, Shell on all members, Meltdown on Ultima Weapon, Aura on
Squall, Renzokuken, Renzokuken, Renzokuken, immediate revival of KOed members
takes priority, heal with items (Megalixirs from Bahamut card) after Gravija is
used.
Ultima Weapon is suddenly not 'the strongest, ultimate monster'... But you
haven't faced greatest foe yet.
-------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! ---------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Guardian Force - Eden!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple Triad - Eden card
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- You've bagged final GF - EDEN (16/16).
1. Here's the recommended order to learn Eden's abilities: GFAbl Med-RF,
Darkside, Luck+50%, Eva+30%. Screw Mad Rush and Expendx3-1, they're useless.
- Defeating this boss also netted you Eden Card.
- Well, so you really did waste Ultima Weapon? Now all those wonderful fixed
encounters are gone - many good things could be found in those fixed battles.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian Forces - Advice on learning abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Now that you have GFAbl Med-RF, refine Shaman Stone from before into Rosetta
Stone. Use this item on Quezo (or any other GF you wish - just make sure that
the third member learns Abilityx4) to have all battling members be able to
junction up to four character abilities.
- This can be used as a reference on how to find easy source of Rosetta Stones.
- I'll take it that you didn't waste Ultima Weapon and you want to get Eden in
final dungeon... But in case you got her anyway, junction her to Squall. For
now I'll mark Eden like this [*Eden*], which means that I did not get her, but
you did and I include her info anyway.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
WARNING - MISSABLE THING COMING UP! CCGROUP QUEST
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
- DEFEAT CCGROUP IN BALAMB GARDEN IF YOU WANT AN EASY GAME.
- Your card count should now hold all Lv8, Lv9 and Lv10 cards plus Pupu card.
- Or in my recommended case, then you're only missing *Odin* and *Eden* card.

all info on which rare cards to mod and what they mod into...

card in your hand if you don't feel like modding it.
- Now return to world map, board Ragnarok and depart for Tears' Point, then
bump into Loony Panda.

Raijin: 'See, just like I said, ya know?'
Fujin: '......'
Fujin's arsenal of attacks has vastly improved since last encounter - Pain
(Pain on St.Def.J), Confuse (Confuse on St.Def.J), Meteor (high Sor), Metsu
(high Vit), Regen, Haste... whoa! My kind of tough woman.
Raijin's attacks haven't vastly improved - he lost Hi-Potion, but now knows
Aura. He also gains a new physical attack - an animation shows Raijin powering
up his fist and then jumping to target member punching him/her and at same time
releasing the energy gathered in his fist in a big explosion.
As usual, cast Meltdown on Fujin and Raijin first.
When Fujin wastes a few turns...
Fujin: 'DECISION.'
'DESTROY. HELP, SEIFER.'
She will now use Meteor. This is the only time in entire fight she uses it.
When Raijin 'wastes' a few turns...
Raijin: 'Time to get serious, ya know!?'
He will now cast Aura on himself...
Raijin: 'Prepare yourself for defeat!'
And immediately afterward he'll execute Raijin Special. From now on he is able
to Raijin Special you any time he wishes - he doesn't have to be under Aura
status. Be vary, tho' - for the duration of Aura Raijin Special is twice as
powerful.
So take care that your HP is high (high Spr, high Vit) when Fujin uses Meteor.
To prevent Raijin from Raijin Special-izing into you five much, throw Reflect
at him before he Aura-s himself.
Raijin and Fujin are extremely vulnerable to Sleep, so use this to your
advantage. It's a good thing to assign one member as a medic for this fight -
have this member on a standby. If Fujin uses Sai, you will immediately have a
member available to do the necessary healing. Zan and Metsu (beefed up version
of Zan) aren't that dangerous - or at least nothing that high Vit couldn't take
care of.
Beat Raijin at about 50% of his HP remaining...
Raijin: 'Not bad, Squall!'
'I can see why you're Seifer's rival!'
Beat Raijin at about 25% of his HP remaining...
Raijin: 'Whoa... Wow!'
'No wonder Seifer fears ya!'
Mug Fujin for 2x Megalixir - otherwise she drops Megalixir. If you Mug Raijin,
you'll get Power Wrist - otherwise he drops few Str Up items, which is a better
bounty to look for.
Send final greetings to Raijin...
Raijin: 'I... I lost again, ya know...'
Send final greetings to Fujin...
Fujin: 'CALLOUS...'
-------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! ---------------------
