How do I defeat those Ailens at the Ragnarok A. Well, this is quite simple. You will not encounter any random battles here. Firstly you must defeat those ailens with the same colour first. Let's says if you have defeated the Purple Ailen in the main compound, you must then fight the Purple Ailen at the other side [refer to map]. If you did not, they will regenrate and you will fight them all over and again. Certain Draw Points will appear after you have defeated them. There are 4 kinds of aliens and they are different in colours and there are two of the same kind. *********************************************************************** After defeating all aliens, head for the elevator where you found the green monster and you will have an event. Squall taking control of the seat and there you will hear the song ... very mushy stuff. Here is the lyrics that are taken from Heero Yuy's FAQ and thanks Rei Urabe for sending the lyrics. -------------------------------- ----- E Y E S O N M E ----- -------------------------------- Whenever sang my songs On the stage, on my own Whenever said my words Wishing they would be heard I saw you smiling at me Was it real or just my fantasy You'd always be there in the corner Of this tiny lttle bar My last night here for you Same old songs, just once more My last night here with you? Maybe yes, maybe no I kind of liked it your way How you shyly placed your eyes on me Oh, did you ever know? That I had mine on you Darling, so there you are With that look on your face As if you're never hurt As if you're never down Shall I be the one for you Who pinches you softly but sure If frown is shown then I will know that you are no dreamer So let me come to you Close as I wanted to be Close enough for me To feel your heart beating fast And stay there as I whisper How I loved your peaceful eyes on me Did you ever know That I had mine on you Darling, so share with me Your love if you have enough Your tears if you're holding back Or pain if that's what it is How can I let you know I'm more than the dress and the voice Just reach me out then You will know that you're not dreaming Thanks to Hahaha Hahaha for the missing line in the third paragraph. Thanks to Yee Seng Fu for his correction on the lyrics. Thanks to Franksiskus Febrainto ^0^ for his correction on the 4th paragraph. Thanks to Marcus "vegeta" Colombo for the correction. After that wonderful and romantic song, you will be now controlling Ragnarok and will be landed on the sandy area. There you will meet the people of Esthar including Professor Odain's assistant. Next Rinoa will leave [she has been accused of being a witch]. Head back to Ragnarok and enter the meeting room [the place where you find the controls, marked "C"] There you will find Irvine, and the rest except for Edea and Rinoa. After some conversation, you find Selphie and Irvine moving out. Once you approaches Quistis, the ground will started to shake, because Ragnarok has landed off from the ground! Now head for the controls room and you will find Selphie as the pilot! Now you will be back at the World Map. Here are the controls of Ragnarok. BTW, there is a Draw Point [Life] at the junction where you find the stairs that led to the main hall of Ragnarok. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ C O N T R O L S O F R A G N A R O K ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Up/Down : Causes Ragnarok to descend / raises up Right/Left : Allows you to rotate the Ragnarok R2 : Changes camera view. Square : Causes Ragnarok to move forwards X : Causes Ragnarok to move backwards Circle : Board/ Unboard Select : Opens World Map (Spot view, side map, full map) Triangle : Inside Ragnarok Start : Pause the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Land your air-ship on the ground and SAVE your game. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 5.9 T H E W O R L D T O U R W I T H O U T R I N O A zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Well, do you know that it's high time for capturing the remainding G.Fs. But before you could head for these places, first you can find hidden Draw Points at the following places: 1. Back of Dollet Radio Tower [Curse] 2. Train Tunnel located in front of Galbadia City. [Esuna] 3. Train Tunnel located near Timber Town [Fire 2] 4. Train Tunnel located near Balamb Town. [Esuna] 5. Northen Tip of Long Horn Island [Aura] Note you can head to F.H. and position Ragnarok vertically on the top with the shadow covering the city and you will find Ragnarok landed near the F.H's Windmill. You can enter a new place called Esthar Airport and that are a piece of bad news, that is you will encounter very powerful beasts at Esthar City Area..a bunch of creepy ones. Also you want fast AP level Up, head for the Cactuar Island marked on the southeast corner of the World Map, you find a green Cactuar, that's the Sabotander! But there are some great news, you will encounter Cactuars which may give you a single digit EXP, but they give 20 AP! But note that you have low hit rate and they will ran away, thus giving you nothing. For those whom have missed the opportunity of viewing the Timber Magazines that you have collected, here is a chance! You can find Balamb Garden being docked at F.H. Just simply landed your Ragnarok and head for Balamb Garden. Now finished up drawing up magic spells as it's high time for you to level up, make sure to fight more monsters and gain more G.F's abilities such as Alexandar's Sosei and Leviathan's Recovery as you are going to fight the most toughest guys in Disc 3. It's also high time to level up. There are four places where you can find the remaining G.Fs. It would be better to get everyone's most powerful weapon [refer to Part II to get the materials] ____________________________________________________ | | | | 1. | Sentura Ruins: Getting G.F. King Tonberi | | 2. | Cactaur Island: Getting G.F. Sabotander. | | 3. | Warship Island: Getting G.F. Bahamut | | 4. | Warship Island: Getting G.F. Eden | |____|______________________________________________| NOTE: You can only get the Eden, after defeating the Bahamut. 1. Sentura Ruins: Getting G.F. King Tonberi ----------------------------------------------------------------------0 NOTE: If you are not quite sure about the location of the ruins, you can find a good map at Final Fantasy: Worlds Apart HTML address: http://www.ffnet.net And of course ChaRle5!'s world map. [http://members.xoom.com/hkcomic_net]. This map can also be found at my website. Head back to place where you get the Odin. Next head for the compound where the stairs and the atrium. Find a hidden Draw Point in front of fallen pillar on the right [Life]. Now walk around there and wait there for battles against Tonberi. Stay there and do not walk up the stairs! _____________________________________________________ |This section is rather tough. Get as many Tents and | |Pet Houses as you can. After about three Tonberi | |fights, head back to the World Map and use the Tent | |and Pet House to recover lost HP. Try to keep your | BATTLE TIP |character's stats at the critical status to conserve | # 15 |important spells such as Aura and Ultima. It is also | |better if you have gotten every character's ultimate | |weapons. After everyone is fully healed, head back | |and fight again. | |_____________________________________________________| GENERAL STATUS OF A TONBERI ____________________________________________________________________ | STATUS | STRATEGY | AP | |_______________|_________________________________________|_________| | Level: 38 | Tonberi are very tough and they are | 1 | | HP: 22,600 | very tough as they could cast Death to | | | | your members. Have one member with the | | | ATTACKS: | ITEM command. Use Phoenix Downs or Life | | | Lantern Shot | magic on dead allies. Next use G.F. | | | Death | Leviathan Recovery to restore lost HP | | | Kitchen Knife | The Tonberi will move forward to you | | | | and use the Kitchen Knife. Use G.Fs for | | |---------------| defeating it. It will be easily if you | | | Win: Kitchen | accquired high levels and the Alexandar | | | Knife | ability Sonsei. Tonberries are very weak| | | | against Diablos [for their high HP] Try | | | Bundoru: | keep your characters at critical status | | | Kitchen Knife | so that you do not need Aura. BTW, the | | | | Detonator does not work on Tonberries | | |_______________|_________________________________________|_________| After the 20th Tonberi has been defeated, you will fight the King Tonberi and it is the beginning of the BOSS fight! ######################################################################## BOSS NO. 18 K I N G T O N B E R I ######################################################################## Name: King Tonberi Level: 38 HP: 95,000 Attacks: Kitchen Knife, Earthquake Stomp, Lantern Shot, Death. Facts: n/a Draw: Death, Cure 3, Raise AP gained: 21 Bundoru: n/a Win: 1x Royal Crown |||||||||||||||||| < HP > |||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||| STR DEF |||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||| INT SPI |||| || DEX EVA | ================== -----STRATEGY----- ================== Quite tough as it's more fast moving compared to ordinary Tonberi. It has very damaging attacks. The Earthquake Stomp will cause all allies to be effected in the process. The BOSS also has other quite damaging moves about 1000+ HP damage to one character. Use special moves and high damaging spells such as Ultima and use it on the BOSS. Use G.F Cerebrus on your party and you will be able to cast three spells in a row. Note that this battle is continous from the 20th Tonberi fight that's why you will gain an extra 1 AP ^_^. There is also another way to get great spells such as Aura/Meteor/Flare, refer to Part II cheats section. Make sure that you have acquired Double Consumption so that you can cast Aura twice for the price of one. Thanks to Hahaha Hahaha for the draw list of the Tonberi. ######################################################################## Well, you have finished the Sentora Ruins, time to head somewhere else. 2. Sabotander Island: Sabotander. ----------------------------------------------------------------------0 Identify The Sabontander Island.... It is somewhere in south-east area on the World Map, located in Sentora Regions. The place has seem to have a green cactuar icon, moving about [that's is the Sabotander!]. Make contact with it, by walking approaching it but not using Ragnarok! It is a HUGE one, not those tiny cactuars! _____________________________________________________ |The Sabotander is a bit tough. First of all, try to | |get Water spells which can be drawn from Gurande | |Aaro or Fokaroru Feiku. Junction 100x Water spells to| BATTLE TIP |Squall's attributes attack so that you can inflicit | # 16 |the maximum damage on the BOSS. Refer to Part II for | |some more strategies. | |_____________________________________________________| ######################################################################## BOSS NO. 19 S A B O T A N D E R ######################################################################## Name: Sabotander Level: 30 HP: about 90,000+ Attacks: 10,000 Needles, Quake smash. Facts: Weak vs. Water, Leviathan Draw: Merton, Demi, Tornado AP gained: 20 Bundoru: 3x Cactaur's Thorn Win: 1x Ring of Gaia |||||||||||||||||| < HP > |||||||||||||||||| |||||||||| STR DEF |||||| |||| INT SPI |||||||| | DEX EVA | ================== -----STRATEGY----- ================== The Sabotander is very tough [not as tough as the Ultimate and Omega Weapons]. Make sure you have accquired the Levitahan with the G.F. Aid and the Recovery. The BOSS is weak against it. Next make sure everyone has Life-restoring items or Life magic. Make sure you have accquired Regen. Next summon Cerebrus and cast Regen on your entire party [this makes Regen-All, similar to FF7]. Just keep on summon Leviathan and other G.Fs. Cast Barrier to reduce the BOSS damage. If one of your member dies, cast Life and with the Recovery skill and now your character is back to full health! Demi does not worked quite well on the BOSS. If you have any other strategies, please contact me. Cast Merton to reduce the defensive stats of the BOSS as Squall could do 9999 HP with the strength stats of 171! Quistis's Micro Missile does not work quite well on the Sabotander. It would better if you have Life 2 and attained higher levels. It will also be nice if you have accquired the Alexandar's Sosei. There is another easy way, that is to get Squall's Lionheart! [I have finished this cookie with End of Heart with Squall at Level 100!] ######################################################################## 3. WarShip Island: Getting G.F. Bahamut ----------------------------------------------------------------------0 Identify WarShip Island... So head for the southwest area of the World Map. It's a huge labortary in the middle of the blue sea. It is just the west from Edea's House. This also known as the Galbadian Underwater Research Facility. To get there, try to fly low (should see water splashing..). _________________________________________________ |A summary of the monsters here. Here is the list | |of monsters: Bombs, HedgeVipers, Bueru and | |Rubulmdragons. They are mostly weak against Cold | BATTLE TIP |So junction Ice 3 to your character's attributes | # 17 |attack. Junction Fire-elemental to your | |characters' attributes defense so that you can | |turn their attacks into a mere bug bite. | |_________________________________________________| So as you enter the laboratory, you find your members talking to each other at the entrance of the left, pick any options during the conversation. Next you will enter the laboratory. The lab has been powered a light secruity system. The moment you move in the laboratary when the "light" is on, you will fight monsters such as HedgeVipers. The moment the lights went off, move until you have the chance to examine the light source. Pick first option for the first question and you fight a Rubulmdragon [remember the dragon where Laguna has fight as an acting knight?]. Pick the second option for the second question and you will fight another Rubulmdragon. CHANGES IN ATTACKS AND DRAW SPELLS ______________________________________________________________________ | DRAW | STRATEGY | |________________|____________________________________________________| | | RubulmDragon has brand attacks and style. It has | | Fire 3 | more power spells such as Meteor [5,000+ to all | | Reflect | opponents] and Flare, high damaging spell against | | Flare | one member. The dragon will cast Reflect on | | Meteor | itself and thus casting spell and reflect onto | |________________| your party. Very cunning indead. | | ATTACKS | I have found a way to defeat these guys easily. | |________________| First draw Meteor and store it. Next summon | | Claw swipe | Cerebrus and you will be able to cast 3 Meteor in | | Meteor | a row. Do not use Wind or Fire on it [refer to | | Demi | Laguna's 4th Scenario for more details]. The BOSS | | Reflect | will cast Reflect, use Despell to break this off. | | Fire 3 | Note: Meteor can not be reflected. Use G.Fs to | | Dragon Breath | dish out damage and dealt the final blow | | | | | | Easier Way? Just get Quistis in your party with | | | Detonator acquired and use it during the battles | | | [Cast Aura to use it, a flawless victory]. This is| | | contributed by Crystal Power. | |________________|____________________________________________________| ALTERNATE METHOD There is also another alternate method, but it will decrease the amount of EXP that you will gain from the BOSS. Just use Tonberi's Level Down and you see that the level of Rubulmdragon has decrease into Level 10~15! This is contributed by Ciovo. After defeating the two of these, pick the third option [hidden] for the last question, and you fight the Bahamut. ######################################################################## BOSS NO. 20 B A H A M U T ######################################################################## Name: Bahamut Level: 40 HP: 42,000 Attacks: Claw swipe, Tetra Flame, Flare. Facts: Strong vs. Poison. Wind/Bolt has no effect on the BOSS. Draw: Flare, Cure 3, Raise AP gained: 40 Win: 1x Hyper Wrist Bundoru: 1x Hyper Wrist ||||||||||||||| < HP > |||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||| STR DEF |||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||| INT SPI |||||||||| |||| DEX EVA ||||| ================== -----STRATEGY----- ================== Here is a brand new strategy against the Bahamut. Summon G.F Cerebrus and cast Regen on all your characters. Cast Merton on the BOSS to reduce the BOSS' high defensive stats. This battle is quite tough, but you can make speed as a killer weapon. Summoning G.Fs can be a great idea but don't bother to summon G.F Queztalcoatl and Pandemonium. Make sure that your characters have acquired their ultimate weapons so that you will have no problem in defeating the BOSS. The BOSS has a killer attack Tetra Flame that does about 3,000+ to all characters, so take note of that. Summon Grasharaboras may does a small amount of damage, but it's negative status that makes the G.F a valuable one. If your characters are wounded, draw Cure 3 to heal lost HP and Raise to restore dead characters. Dish out damage with your character's special move will be much favourable compared to summoning G.Fs. ALTERNATE METHOD contributed by Crystal Power [Recommended] Have Irvine in your party and has 100 ammunation of the most powerful bullets. Cast Aura on both Squall and Irvine and have them use their special moves [have their ultimate weapons and junction magic to their strength to 255]. If you are lucky enough, you will see Squall using his "End of Heart" to finish the Bahamut in ONE turn. ######################################################################## After defeating the Bahamut, you will recieved the card and the place will be in a mess. Return back to Ragnarok, by walking up back to it. 4. Warship Island: Defeating the Ultimate Weapon ----------------------------------------------------------------------0 NOTE: It's seems to me that Zell is a compulsory character for this section. ___________________________________________________ |This section is very tough as you need to battle | |against a whole list of tough cookies. The best | |method of defeating them is by using Selphie's | |Leviator or Quistis' Detonator. Try to keep any of | BATTLE TIP |this characters at the critcial status. Make sure | # 18 |that your party is fully healed before you fight | |the Weapon. Get tons of Tents and X-Potions before | |heading down the basement. it's tough and a bit | |difficult. | |___________________________________________________| I have quite a lot of trouble in this, thanks to Steven Bruck whom has told me the way to get to fight the Ultimate Weapon! Thanks a lot! I'm really apprectiate it. Without him, I was unable to get the last G.F. After defeating the Bahamut, head back to the Ragnarok. Press Triangle while on the World Map and talk to your pals. Next re-enter the Warship Island. Now you will find a Save Point outside the damaged light system. Proceed and climb down. There you will find a Draw Point [Despell] and you will disperse, examining the underground research facility. Next head for the steam machine and you will have a guide of operating the machine. Your aim is to reach the basement of the laboratory with steam pressure with the 10x gas blocks. ======================================================================== MAP OF THE STEAM LAYOUT FOR WARSHIP ISLAND ======================================================================== ________________________________ | XXX | * KEY LEGEND * |____ XXX | XX Trunk | S | DP XXX | DP Draw Point |____|_____ _XXX_____________| S Steam Machine | |_ / \ | E Elevator | |_ \ 1 / __| D Door | | \____/ |S | |__________ ______________|__| ----:> Use 2 blocks of | |_ / \ | Steam. | |_ \ 2 / __| | | \____/ |S | |__________ ______________|__| ----:> Use 2 blocks of | |_ / \ | Steam. | |_ \ 5 / __| | | \____/ |S | |__________ ______________|__| ----:> Use 1 block of | |_ / \ | Steam | |_ \ 9 / __| | | \___/ |S | __|__________EEEE______________|__|__ --:> Use 1 block of | | Steam D | D __________________________ |---:> Have Zell using D | STEAM MACHINE | | the steam machine D___|________________________|________| (2nd Option) ======================================================================== Magic Stones and Save Point locations 1. Save Point can be found when you exit from the huge steam machine, it's on the left. 2. As you reach the next area, you will find another Draw Point by the stairs. [Triple] 3. At the winding path, you will find a Draw Point hidden under a blue glowing rock. [Ultima] 4. If you have equipped G.F Siren's Discover Hidden Points, you will find another Save Point next to the steam machine found at the underground basement. ________________________________________________________________________ 1st Area: Fighting the Torai Feisu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Probably the easiest among all the fight in this area. If you have problems in this area, I would suggest that you better retreated. Try to steal [using Bundoru] to get 100x Charm Claws which can be converted into Dark Matter and allows Quistis to learn the Shockwave Phaser. Just keep on hitting the monsters with your attack. You will get Poison Powder if you defeat the monster. [improves your affection with G.F Grasharaboras. Junction Fire 3 to your characters attributes attack to inflicit more damage. ________________________________________________________________________ 2nd Area: Geren Deru and Garukimaseru ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Garukimaseru is rather tough as it could cast several elementals in a row. However it has very low defense. It could cast damaging spells such as Flare and Holy. Just simply junctioned Silent to your characters' status defense. The Geren Deru is weak against Earth/Wind/Holy-based attacks. So use this to your advantage. Also junction Bolt 3 to the characters' attributes attack. If you have sufficient Holy spells, junctioned it to the character's attributes attack as the Garukimaseru is also weak against it too. ________________________________________________________________________ 3rd Area: Behemoth ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A tough cookie but -very- weak against status elementals such as Poison and Sleepel. Seize the opporunity to get Barrier System if Quistis does not have Mighty Guard. Here is the method: <> Junction 100x Sleepel to Squall's status attack, junction Ultima to booast it up to 255. <> Junction 100x Sleepel to the second character's status attack [ second highest attacking power.] <> Equip G.F Diablo and Bahamut for the third character [these G.Fs does 9999 HP to all monsters whose maximum HP exceed 9999!] ________________________________________________________________________ 4th Area: Rubulmdragon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The most dangerous monster in all areas. There are only a few methods, just junctioned 100x Ice 3 to the characters' attributes attack. Junction Fire 3 to all characters' attributes defense. [this will turn that pesky Dragon Breath into a mere bug bite] Try to keep Squall within critical status and you will be able to enjoy "End of Heart". Cast Merton to lower the defense stats of the Rubulmdragons. ________________________________________________________________________ 5th Area: 2x Iron Giants ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It seems impossible to defeat them, but you are wrong. Just apply the above method and junction Bolt 3 to every characters' attributes attack. While the Iron Giants are in the Sleepel status, you will no worries while summoning G.Fs [Bahamut, Quetzalcoatl, Diablo]. Seize the opporunity to nab items such as Fang Machine Gun and Fragment of the Star. ________________________________________________________________________ Now the door will open and enter the door. Next head down to the basement. Note that you will encounter monsters for every 2 steps [ Encounter 50% less, ~ 4 steps , Encounter Nothing ~ 8 steps] and will encounter very strong formidible foes such as the Iron Giants and the monsters that you have found near the barrier that surrounds the Esthar City... plus the Rubulmdragon that you have fought in the previous three battles, so it is better if you have attained high levels. Once you have reached the basement, you will find a machine, examine the machine and pick the 1st option and you will fight the Ultimate Weapon! _______________________________________________________ |Don't want to repeat those pesky battles once you have | |lost to the Ultimate Weapon? Here is a great method. | |Equip G.F Siren's Discover Hidden Points and you will | BATTLE TIP |find a Save Point at the left of the steam machine! | #19 |Use a Cottage to restore HP for your characters and | |G.Fs. Save your game by using the Save Point. | |_______________________________________________________| ######################################################################## BOSS NO. 21 U L T I M A T E W E A P O N ######################################################################## Name: Ultimate Weapon Level 60 HP: ???????? [about 90,000+] Attacks: Sword Swipe, Shadow Flare, Earthquake, Meteor, Ultima Beam Facts: n/a Draw: Regen, Despell, Ultima, Eden AP gained: 100 Win: 100x Ultima Stone, Eden's Card Bundoru: 1x 3 Stance |||||||||||||||||| < HP > |||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||| STR DEF ||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||| INT SPI ||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||| DEX EVA || ================== -----Strategy----- ================== He's one of the most toughest BOSS in FF8. It has very destructive spells and high attacking power. It has very damaging spells that could effect all members, such as Shadow Flare [3,000+ per member], Quake [1,000+ per member] and Meteor [2,000+ per member.]. By the way, you WILL get 100x Ultima Stones from the fight! It has also a instant killer weapon [Ultima Beam] that does 9999 damage to a single character. Note that the Ultimate Weapon has accquired the Ultima Weapon [Cloud's FF7's Final Weapon!] How to defeat it? Here is a strategy that I have come up with, it may not works. Firstly, draw Regen from the BOSS. Summon G.F. Cerebrus and you will be able to cast Regen thrice. Next cast Ultima [3x] on the BOSS and it should 9999 HP damage each time. Or if you have Aura, cast it on member and keep on switching turns until you see an arrow on the right and you will be able to use the character's special move! If you have Barrier and Shield, cast it on your party as it serves quite well for defensive purposes. Make sure that you remember to draw Eden from the BOSS before it's death or it will be lost forever! It's possible to defeat the BOSS at low levels, provide that you junction magic to the character's HP. I have used "End of Heart" to sent a ticket to the Planet Doom for the Ultimate Weapon! IMPORTANT ABILITIES: Alexandar's Sosei and Leviathan's Recovery. NEWS: It will be better if you have accquired the Mighty Guard, stealing Behemoths outside the barriers. This was sent by Heero Yuy. Use on Quistis and have her casting the Mighty Guard. ######################################################################## Well, you have finished the BOSS, it's time to head back to the story. You need to head for the Witch Museum and rescue Rinoa. The Witch Musemum is found somewhere in the south-east region, near Tear's Point and has a Y-shape structure. If you are unsure about this, use the Ragnarok's Auto Pilot. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 5.10. S A V I N G R I N O A zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz After done with all the tour, head for the Witch's Museum. Now enter the Museum. Next head up the stairs and there is a Draw Point [Stop] in this area. Talk to the Esthar Soldiers at the gate and they will allow you to enter the musemum. Next you find Rinoa, being trapped inside a chamber and the scientist are testing her whether is she a witch or not. Next your members will try to stop them and thus giving Squall a chance to stop them. Next head left and approached the captured Rinoa you will have an FMV: ** FMV ** Rinoa is finally being released by her lover, Squall and they will hug each other and thus leaving the Museum. [isn't this similar to FMV in the beginning of the game, just as there is some difference in the background.] Now with Rinoa back in your hands, head to the entrance and you will be allowed to leave, next your party will be asked by Rinoa to head to Edea's house. You will find Angelo in front of the house. Next enter Edea's house and look for Edea, after talking to both of them, exit. Now exit and you will find Angelo and follow it, next your party members will leave and Rinoa comes in. Meanwhile, Zell will report to you that Esthar has been underattack and the President of Esthar want to see you. Next exit and you find Edea talking to Squall. Head for Esthar Captial where you will meet the President. By the way, the President of Esthar has defeated the Witch [the sealed monster], 13 years ago. Now head to the captial city. Now enter the city through the Air Station and keep on walking Up and head for the main compound. Next enter the elevator marked on the map. Now head for the mansion, and go to the screen left twice and you find 2 Esthar Soldiers at the gate and talk to them and you will be allowed to meet the President. [Not necessary.. just charge!] As Squall enter the room, he found Ward... and Kiros... Just walked forward and you found out that the President is actually Laguna Loire. Can't believe the way, that a President of a such huge city will dressed in such a simple manner. Next talk to Laguna, pick the 1st option and here come Professor Odain! Talk for quite a long time and here is the scoop: Elone has been held captive at the Pandora. Laguna wishes that Squall could lend a hand and helped him to save Elone, to prevent Time Compression from occuring. And must tried to prevent Altemisia from being reborn, she is that huge thing which Rinoa has unlocked. Next you be asked to launch an attack on the Lunatic Pandora. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SPOILERS [In-depth story] from The name of that witch [the sealed monster which Rinoa has released it from the space chamber] is actually Adel [Aderu]. That witch is actually the former leader of Esthar. It was Laguna, who has defeated it and sent it to outerspace. SECRET FMV! (also a spoiler!) Yes there is one which covers more about the past section. It was about the section after Laguna has rescued Elone from the evil hands of Esthar [which was controlled by the evil Aderu]. Just simply pick the fourth option while talking to Laguna and you see an FMV which tells about the origin of Ragnarok. Actually, there are three of them.. It also explains how Laguna has defeated Aderu! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 5.11 L U N A T I C P A N D O R A zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Now Laguna and his pals are at the meeting room of the Ragnarok. After a conversation with them, the rest of the members will leave. Lastly Squall will leave. Selphie and Zell will be driving the Ragnarok and your party will be consisting of Zell, Squall and Rinoa. Attack! BTW, you can play a card game with Laguna while at the Ragnarok which nabs Squall's Card. There is a Draw Point [Raise 2] found at the alley way where you find the Save Point inside the Ragnarok. ______________________________________________________ |Here you will find the last tip from Scott. Basically | |human characters such as Seifer and his groupies are | |weak against Poison. So the Poison-elemental is most | BATTLE TIP |lethal against humans but does no damage to mechnical | # 20 |beast. Junction Sleepel to your attributes and you | |will see the damaging effect of it! | |______________________________________________________| The Lunatic Pandora is located on the top of the Tears Point where you get the Soloman's Ring. Now make contact and the screen will switches to Squall and his friends at the Ragnarok. Then you will have an FMV: ** FMV ** The Ragnarok fires it's heat-seeking missiles at the Pandora and started charge through breaking the force-field. Next it will grab onto the walls with it's claws. Talk to Selphie if you want to head back. Now enter the place...through back haul, marked by the EXIT on the map of the Ragnarok. You will meet Seifer's pals, Raijin and Fuujin and prepare for a BOSS fight. ######################################################################## BOSS NO. 22 R A I J I N F U U J I N ######################################################################## Name: Raijin Level 43 HP: 22,200 Fuujin Level 43 HP: 17,900 Attacks: Raijin: Spin Pole, Pole Rush, Lightning Strike, Aura Fuujin: Dart Roll, Rush Swipe, Meteor, Haste, Blind, Tornado. Dart-All Facts: Raijin: Weak against Poison, Nullifies Lightning Fuujin: Weak against Poison, Nullifies Wind Draw: Raijin: Bolt 2, Bolt 3, Barrier, Shield. Fuujin: Wind, Cure 3, Raise, Tornado. AP gained: 20 Bundoru: Raijin: 1x Power Source Fuujin: 2x Megalixir. Win: 3x Power Source, 1x Megalixir ================== -----STRATEGY----- ================== Both Raijin and Fuujin are much stronger compared to the previous fight. They have new spells and much powerful. Don't draw and release Tornado as Fuujin will be healed in the process. Concentrate on attacking Fuujin as she has some very difficult spells. Make sure your HP are above 3000+ as Fuujin could cast Meteor. Use G.F. Grasharaboras as they are weak against Poison. Cast Cerebrus and followed by Shield all [reduce magical damage] and Barrier-all [reduce physical damage] Do not use G.Fs Queztalcoatl and Pandamonium. Use Leviathan's Recovery to restore lost health and use your special moves. Their HP does not changed even Squall is at Level 100! There is an easy method. Junction 100x Sleepel to one character's status attack and have that character attack both Raijin and Fuujin. Have the others summoning G.Fs. In this way, there is no damage for your G.Fs to withstand. It will be better if you have another character junction 100x Curse to his/her status attack. ######################################################################## After defeating those two funkies, exit from this area. Head up and make a left turn, there you will meet Biggs and Wedge, talking to them. Don't worry there are no battles, as they are sick of fighting you. Now enter the building [there is a Save Point somewhere near the building]. Next you will be on the path which leads to the second elevator. Next head for the 02 elevator. Draw some magic and you have been here. Next head up. If you have accquired the Discover Hidden Points ability, you will find a Save Point there. Head up and you will find Fuujin and Raijin. They will not fight you, instead they summon a robot ailen to attack your party! ######################################################################## BOSS NO. 23 Mobile Suite No. 8 BIS ######################################################################## Name: Mobile Suite No. 8 BIS Level: 34 HP: 43,600 Mobile Suite Left Side Level: 41 HP: 9,100 Mobile Suite Right Side Level: 41 HP: 9,100 Attacks: Mobile Suite No. 8 BIS: Tentacle whip, Fallen Shone, Underground Blast, Laser Cannon Mobile Suite L/R side: Laser Cannon, Fallen Shone, Dash Facts: Mobile Suite No.8 BIS: Weak vs, Lightning.

It has a couple of death seeking attacks. The Fallen shone will reduce everyone's HP to 1 and it has other very tough looking attacks. The BOSS can dish out a couple of damage. Use all attacking G.Fs. Cast Cerebrus and cast Cure 3 to restore back lost HP after the BOSS has unleashes it's Fallen Shone. This BOSS can be rather easily if you have used Queztalcoatl with the G.F. Aid. Summoning G.F Eden does over 9999 HP damage to the BOSS [40,000+ HP damage when Eden is at level 70!] It has proven that you can do more than 9999 HP damage. The BOSS will normally encounter the attacks with Laser Cannon [which could never miss!]. The Left and Right Side could only does that if they are separated. Junction Bolt 3 to every characters' attributes attack. If your characters' strength stats are 255, they could inflicit 9999 damage with that junction! Recovery will be a better option in regaining HP. ######################################################################## Restore all your HP and prepared for Disc 3 final-showdown. Enter the building and you will find Seifer on the top of the pillar, bragging about his ability. Elone is being held captive by those two groupies, Fuujin and Raijin. After some talk, they will leave and you will fight Seifer. Prepared for the last battle with Seifer. ######################################################################## BOSS NO. 24 S E I F E R ######################################################################## Name: Seifer Level 34 HP: 26,800 Attacks: Sword swipe, Fire 3, Fire-all cross-slash. Facts: Weal vs. Poison. Draw: Fire 3, Bolt 3, Ice 3, Aura AP gained: 40 Bundoru: n/a Win: 1x Hero Drink. ================== -----Strategy----- ================== He is not tough, in fact the lousiest BOSS of all Disc 3. You want to why, because you can drawn the Aura spell and use it for yourself. Use your finishing moves and give him a ticket to Planet Doom. ^_^; Or make of this opportunity to stock up Aura...and wait for the Gilmagesh to finish him off [provided that you have Odin] By the way, use Leviathan's Recovery and restore lost HP. Use Phoenix Down or Life to revive dead members. By the way, use G.Fs such as the Grasharaboras as he pretty weak against it. Seifer's finishing move does damage to all members. GILMAGMESH contributed by Steven Bruck If you have accquired Odin, you will see the last of him, being cut into half by the "powerful" Seifer. There you will see the sword of the Odin being thrown off and back to the hands of a mysterious G.F. After you have defeated Seifer, G.F Gilmagesh will eventually appear and defeat Seifer! ######################################################################## Well that's is the end of Seifer Almasy.... not really. After the battle, Rinoa will start to move away.. Suddenly Seifer awakes and kidnapped Rinoa! Seifer hold Rinoa as hostage and head for the chamber where the unawaken Aderu is.... End of Disc 3. If Rinoa is not in your party, Seifer will just instantly wake up and kidnapped Rinoa and you will be able to re-organize your party. ======================================================================== 6. W A L K T H R O U G H F O R D I S C 4 ======================================================================== Well, we have reach the last disc, head for the final showdown! By the way, this ENTIRE section is being contributed by Charles5!. Without him, I will not be able to finish the game. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 6.1 A D E R U R E B O R N ! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Now you will regain control of your party, and form a new party. Next head for the top floor of the Pandora. You will find another Draw Point [Slow] if you have climb up the stairs. Now walk up that long pipe and make a right turn. Next you will reach the place where you will find Seifer holding Rinoa and facing the chamber where Aderu is. Next you will have this FMV: ** FMV ** Seifer will now be holding Rinoa as the gift for the evil queen, Aderu. Rinoa tries her best in breaking off the grip from Seifer, but Seifer just pushes her onto the ground. Now the future witch, Aderu suddenly awakes and thus grab the helpless Rinoa... BOSS Fight! ######################################################################## BOSS NO. 25 A D R E U R I N O A ######################################################################## Name: Aderu Level: 46 HP: ????????

Adreu does not have high HP. Just that she is quite cruel and crafty. She can drain HP from Rinoa [about 700+ HP each time.] She has a couple of strong spells such as the Meteor. Do not use spells such as Ultima, Flare or Meteor as these spells does damage not only to Altemisia and Rinoa too. So it's a good reason not to use G.Fs. Rinoa's stats depends on how much HP that you have accquired or you can just junction 100 spells to boast up her HP. Also a good idea to junction elementals like Fire, so that Rinoa can absorb Fire and damage Adreu when you summon the Ifrit at the same time. So try to finish off Altemisia before she finishes off Rinoa! The game will end if Rinoa was killed. Do not use Squall's Limit Break, Have Irvine as his Wave Bullets could do 9999 HP damage to the BOSS and only effect a single target. Thanks to for the corrections. ######################################################################## After the battle, both Laguna and Elone will come to you and you will have another sequence. Elone will drove away the spirit of Aderu and thus bringing back her spirit. After a short chit chat, Laguna and Elone will leave and you will have an FMV: ** FMV ** Time started to compress and thus forcing Squall and his party back to time... Your party will start to fly in mid-air and just then they will pass through the deep ocean. Next you will see a flock of birds circling the tunnel of light and Squall will be brought back to time.. PS: You can't use any of those fake Save Points. As you landed on ground, noticed that Rinoa has disappear! There you will find a Save Point. Before approaching it, make sure that your party are back to full health and touch the Save Point. Next a dozen of them will appear. Now walk down the pathway to the door. Next the screen will turn white and you find Edea [remember the time in Disc 1 when Rinoa meet Edea at the Presiden's Mansion.] Next you will find Edea-like structures and split into two. It's BOSS fight between the witch of different era. Now you need to fight about 11 of them before you will fight the BOSS. ######################################################################## BOSS NO. 26 W I T C H T Y P E A 6x W I T C H T Y P E B 5x F I N A L W I T C H ######################################################################## Name: Witch Type A Level: 45 HP: 3,390 6x Witch Type B Level: 45 HP: 4,496 5x Final Witch Level: 45 HP: 100,000+ Attacks: Witch Type A: Swipe, Fire, Bolt, Bolt 3 Witch Type B: Flick, Meteor, Double, Haste Final Witch: Creepy Touch, Ultima, Double, Meteor Facts: Witch Type A: n/a Witch Type B: n/a Final Witch: n/a Draw: Witch Type A: Fire 3, Ice 3, Bolt 3 Witch Type B: Haste, Double Final Witch: Flare, Holy AP gained: 55 [Thanks to Ciovo for this!] Win: 5x Ultima Stone Bundoru: Meteor Stone or Ultima Stone Witch Type A |||||||||||||||||| < HP > |||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||| STR DEF || |||||||||||||||||| INT SPI |||||||| DEX EVA || Witch Type B |||||||||||||||||| < HP > ||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||| STR DEF || |||||||||||||||||| INT SPI |||| DEX EVA || Final Witch |||||||||||||||||| < HP > ||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||| STR DEF ||||||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||| INT SPI |||| |||||||| DEX EVA || ================== -----Strategy----- ================== Well as you battles, you will proceed to the next place. The first eleven of them are easy except for the Final Witch. The place will change each time, you have defeated a witch. They are quite easy, I actually risked my battles in order to find the stats by using the Leviathan's Recovery and found the stats. Fortunately I managed to defeat them by using Cerebrus and Meteor. You will proceed in this order: ______________________________________________________________ | | | | 1. President's Mansion | 6. Snowfield outside Travia | | 2. Timber Town | 7. Outside Balamb Garden | | 3. Beach of Balamb | 8. Inside Prison Tower | | 4. Esthar City Area | 9. Cave of Fire | | 5. Balamb Training Center | 10. WinHill Town | |______________________________|_______________________________| After eliminating all those disturbances, you will be transported to an unkown place where you will meet the Final Witch. The Witch is quite tough if your characters have very low HP. The BOSS has a creepy touch which does 1,000+ which will bring low HP characters to death easily. After you have injured the BOSS severely, it started to have a countdown of 5, similar to the Jenova Sythesis last battle at North Crater and it will cast Ultima on your members. Defeat the BOSS and you will be back at Edea's house! Summon G.F Eden [hopepfully that you have accquired "Aid" ability. ######################################################################## At Edea's House, head for the place where you have meet Edea [just walk up and turn right and enter the door on the north]. There you will have a sequence and you will have a short FMV of Altemisia Castle [the place for the final showdown!] Now the area will switch to a screen with two bodies of dead White SeeD cadets. Next head up and make a turn at the stairs, hope that you have remember the path during the childhood [it's has blocked off by those strings!]. Next you will find more death bodies and a Draw Point [Triple] there and you will need to head up that huge chain. There were three doors on the left of the path. Press Circle to jump on the ledge in front of the doors. THE DOORS TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD... _______ | 1 | The door nearest to the Altemisia Castle. _|___|_ The door leads to the north of Esthar Continent and you will find the Chocobo Shrine here. The Chocobo shrine is similar to the Chocobo forests you found at the World Map. It's northwest from the door. _______ | 2 | The door in the middle of the three doors. _|___|_ The door leads to the Sentora Continent where you found the Sentora Ruins. It is northwest from the Ruins. _______ | 3 | The door nearest to Edea's house. _|___|_ The door leads to the Galbadia area where you will find the Missile Base. It is east from the Missile Base. _______ | 4 | I will call this a hidden door as it leads to the place _|___|_ where you find the Ragnarok [it's on the right side of the chain] FINDING RAGNAROK IN DISC 4.... contributed by Charles5. ________________________________________________________________________ Just head for the Chocobo Shrine and get that free Chocobo. Now return to the door where you have enter. Now walk down the shallow waters of Esthar and head for the Sabontander Island. There you will find a huge desert on the left of it. Well, the red dot is the Ragnarok. There you will also find a door which leads to the right side of that huge chain. The cities are now surrounded by barriers, except for the damaged Missile base. Places such as the Cave of Fire, Sentora Ruins, Warship Island and Chocobo Forests are not being surrounded by barriers. Inside the Ragnarok as you go down to the elevator you will find a man [CC Joker] whom will give you the following options: 1. Buy Items 2. Upgrade your Weapons. You can also play cards with him. ________________________________________________________________________ RECAPTURE LOST CARDS... contributed by Eugene See/Franksiskus Febrainto ________________________________________________________________________ After getting Ragnarok, press Triangle and hold X. You will be brought to the haul of Ragnarok and you will meet Sue! The CC Group members are back! There, you will find at all parts of the Ragnarok. Here is the location: CC Group Heart: Haul of the Ragnarok CC Group Spade: The place where you find the Save Point CC Group Diamonds: You will find two girls [Diamonds] at the main hall of the Ragnarok. CC Group Jack: You will find him at the hallway [the door on right where you find Sue] CC Group Club: You will find him at the second floor [near the stairway] CC Group Joker: You will find this guy near the elevator [where you need to board to head for Ragnarok.] Thanks to Franksiskus Febrainto for this piece of great news Or I could never, ever completed my cards collection. Thanks a lot. GETTING LOST CARDS GUIDE by Scott Ong ALL Cards can be obtained from the CC Group members. I have done this myself as I am too lazy in playing that maddening Card Queen's Card Quest. This has been tested by me. You can get the cards from the CC Group members [CC Group Heart and CC Group Diamond (the female cadet on the left]. I have gotten the following cards from Sue: Ko-Chocobo and DebuChocobo Card. I have also gotten G.F cards such as the Shiva, Grasharaboras, Phoenix and character cards [Irvine and Kiros] from the CC Group Diamond. It is possible to get these cards without doing any of the maddening card quests. It is possible, but first you must gotten all the Page 8 cards before you can get Page 9 cards. [Example you can get Phoenix card if you have missed out any of the Page 8 cards.] ________________________________________________________________________ Refer to my World Map for more details. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 6.2 T H E F I N A L S H O W D O W N . . . zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Note: There is hidden Draw Point near the Save Point, thanks to Ciovo! [Flare] Next head up and you will reach the castle. Next you will find a Save Point and Squall will spilt his team into 2 parties. One of the parties will follow Squall and they will enter the place of their most horror nightmare! Now as you enter you will be forced to seal all your abilities except for attacks. Make sure that your characters has gained enough HP. Now here are some rules for this area... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. You can only regain control of your abilities after you have defeated the BOSSES [one BOSS allows you to unlock one ability]. Here is the list of abilities which will be sealed. ___________________________ | Name | |_________________________| | | Which is the most important? | * Item Command | From my opinion: | * Magic Command | | * G.F. Command | Magic Command. It not only provides | * Draw Command | offense but also as a support command | * G.F's Ability (!) | in restoring lost HP. | * Limit Breaks | | * Revive dead members | | * Save | |_________________________| 2. Within the castle, you will find Green Spots, they serve as party switching icons. Just simply step in the spot and you will be given the following options: 1. Switch to the other party 2. Change party members [can perform a switch when all members are there!] 3. Ignore IDEAL PARTIES: _____________________________________________________________ | | <> Squall Leonhart | <> Irvine Kinneas | <> Rinoa Heartily | <> Quistis Trepe | <> Zell Dincht | <> Selphie Tilmitt | _____________________________|_______________________________| WHY? MAIN PARTY Squall has the highest attacking power, and he will be the greatest character. Zell, on the other member, can be a very powerful character for his damaging special moves. Rinoa is a great magic user and an ideal healer, plus her Angelo Cannon, packs a punch! SECOND PARTY Irvine, in my own opinion, has the second most damaging attacks. [If you get your hands on his most powerful bullets]. Quistis is another great character with damaging special moves. She has great stats such as the highest attacking power among all characters. Selphie is also a great support healer for you can junction her magic strength to 255 points! Outstanding. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MAIN PARTY You will find the monster at the main stairway. Note that you can only use the attack command as other commands are being sealed off. ######################################################################## BOSS NO. 27 A N D R O ######################################################################## Name: Andro Level: ??

Here are strategy preparations before fighting the BOSS, has healed your party to full health. To increase your attacking power, junction magic to your attacks and you will do very devastating attacks on the BOSS. If the BOSS summons monsters ignore them and concentrates your attacks on the BOSS. Once you defeated the BOSS, I would opted for the Magic Command, edges in combat as well as healing lost HP. Weapons Upgrading also provide you the essentials to increase your attacking power. You will see the mask broken if you have inflicit sufficent damage on the BOSS. ######################################################################## After defeat the first BOSS, head right up the stairs. Walk down the stairs and enter the door on the right. Before you enter, notice that if you head the southwest and you will find a bell, shrunk it, you will find the time on the top-left hand corner and have the other party head for the organ as soon as possible [ASAP], you will find the Omega Weapon, he is tough. [make sure you have unlock all the abilities] Next enter the area. Walk down the stairs and you will find another Green Spot and head up to the door located in the north. You will be at the Painting Gallery.

This is what I myself will describe it as. It can create tiny troops [Young Rob and it's unlimited stock] So it's pointless to fight against them. Worst of all, if it is low on HP, it WILL drain HP from the Young Robs, thus recharging their HP. A double spell and two Tornadoes/Ultimas at time is great idea to battle against this BOSS. Just use Wind/Tornado to create harvoc, not necessary pick G.F. as it's rather useless. Draw is also not quite a wise choice as you see what spells you can find from the BOSS. Now choose either Draw [if you do not have Demi] or G.F. Pick Revive if you have enough Demi in your stock. If you killed more than two Young Dolmens in a row, the Dolmen will uses its Cannon Blast. ######################################################################## Enter the door located in the north and you will another Green Spot and you will find two stairways heading up to the other side. Now head down to the basement. [just walk up]. You will find two doors, one of them leads to the Armory Room, which can not be entered. Enter the open door at the middle. You will find a corpse holding a key, press Circle to examine it and you will fight another BOSS. [notice that there is a handle there next to the open room? you need to head back here later] ######################################################################## BOSS NO. 29 U L F R A M I T E R ######################################################################## Name of BOSS: Ulframiter Level: 32 HP: 30,000 Attacks: Swipe, Swipe-All, Punch Facts: Strong against physical damage. Draw: Demi AP gained: 30 Win: 1x Ring of Giant Bundoru: n/a ================== -----Strategy----- ================== Well this is prehaps the most defensive BOSS in this game. It's high defensive attributes. Use Demi /Diablo on the BOSS and it will do 9999 HP damage to this cruel monster. By the way, this BOSS has very high defensive attributes, reducing your attacking power to 1/10! So it's a wise choice that you have made. Pick Revive dead characters next as you may want to revive those dead characters. Once you have does sufficient damage to the BOSS, it will threw away the sword... ######################################################################## SECOND PARTY Okay, now it's time for the other team to do some business. Head for the north door of the main hall, where you will find the first BOSS. Next in the area, walk to the unstable chandelier [whole party] and you will fall directly onto the banquet room. Examine the hatch and you will be able to open it. Next walk down and you will find the 4th BOSS, a flying monster. ######################################################################## BOSS NO. 30 T R I E D G E ######################################################################## Name: Triedge Level: 50 HP: 22,000 Attacks: Lightning Strike, Sense, Charge, Swipe.

The Lightning Strike does about 3000+ HP damage against all allies. The BOSS absorb lightning. Use Fire-based attacks such as Fire 3 [does about 9000+ HP damage to the BOSS] or Ifrit. Extremely easy if you have Lightining- elemental defense. The BOSS will counter with Lightning Strike everytime when your character attack it. Unlock G.F command as you can make use of the most powerful G.F [Eden] on the next BOSS. The BOSS WILL encounter your attacks with the Lightning Strike. ######################################################################## NOTE: There is a Draw Point located near the barrels in the north. [Aura] Now you have dealt with the BOSS, back to the top floor and head through the mid-Garden [it has fountain in the middle and has a Draw Point [Slow] in the top-left corner and a green spot in front of the fountain.] You will find an organ [which you can messed with it, this is also the place where you can fight the Omega Weapon]. Here are the keys for the ORGAN. You can draw Despell from the Draw Point found at the area. ........................................................................ Circle : Do L1 : So ============== X : Re R1 : La -----KEYS----- Square : Mi L2 : Ti ============== Triangle : Fa R2 : Do START : Exit ........................................................................ Now head up the stairs on the right, there you will find the key which will fall onto the ground as soon as before you can reached it. Next head back to the Green Spot inside the banquet room [note that you will force lever down which prevents the lamp from falling and switch to the other party which should be at the basement. MAIN PARTY Now controlling the other party, head back to the basement and you will find a shiny item on the southeast corner of the screen, examine it and take the key [Key to the Armory].

Defeat using Holy-based attacks [Alexandar, a wise choice]. Attack them until they are defeated. Now the BOSS will appear, it's rather tough. The Eyes Beam, not only causes 1000+ HP damage and cause the Darkness and Slow status. The BOSS will counterattack your attack with the Counter grab. Use Heal to restore lost HP, now it's essential is to unlock Special Moves as the BOSS' HP are increasing more as you fight on. There is a special technique where (Status Stare) the Galganture will use and it causes random status ailments. * Galganture [full version] will appear after you have defeated all of them. [the head and the hands] ######################################################################## After defeating the BOSS, head for the Green Spot outside the basement. Switch to the second party. SECOND PARTY Head for the main hall. Go up the stairs and enter the room located on the left. Now walk down the light-side corridor [there is a room here on the left] which should be heading northeast direction. Walk to the door. There are two elevators at this screen which will only operate if you have examine all the paintings. Enter the elevator on the left, and use the Green Spot to switch over. Now for the other party...

This essential for the next party. Take the key and head back to the Green Spot and switch to Squall's Party. MAIN PARTY Now head back to the basement where you fight the two BOSS and examine the handle next to the opening to that tough defending BOSS. Activate it. Now the water will be drained. Now head for the Fountain [north from the banquet room]. Check there and you will find the key near the fountain. Next head back to the banquet room and use the Green Spot on the left [this will prevent the chandelier from falling]. Switch to the other party. SECOND PARTY Now head south and back to the light-side corridor. Examine the door on the left and use it. Next you will find four coffins. Here is a diagram. You can draw Holy from the Draw Point found near the coffins. ____________________________________ ============= KEY | ___ ____ ____ _____ | A I M [] Coffins | \ o \ | c | | c | / o / | ============= DP Draw | \____\ |____| |____| /____/ | You need to open Point | DP | all four coffins /\ Door | | and the BOSS will c Closed |_______________/ \________________| appear. o Opened. ######################################################################## BOSS NO. 32 K A T O B L E P A S ######################################################################## Name: Katoblepas Level: 43 HP: 31,500 Attacks: Swipe, Charge, Bolt 3, Meteor Facts: Weak against Earth/Water.

Now you have only two commands haven't uncovered. Just use G.Fs [except for Shiva]. Note that the BOSS will counterattack with the Cyber Shot. The Cyber Frost does a whole lot of damage [3000+] so take note. The BOSS will summon Ultima before it's death.... Thanks to LAM Hung for translations ######################################################################## Now head back to the main hall and use the Green Spot and it's time to switch to Squall and company... MAIN PARTY Now head for the room where you find the organ. Now up the stairs on the right. Cross the wooden bridge. The ladder takes to the lower section of the clock tower. Now walk up the winding path [it's a long way..] Now you will find a huge bell swing from right to left. Now head and position yourself near the edge. Wait for the bell to come and press Circle. Now your party will be taken to the hole.. Next you will find the toughest BOSS among eight BOSSES in the castle.

This guy can does an outstanding damage of 8000+ to all allies with his Dark Flare. Here is some essentials you need to get before the fight: 1. Recovery equiped and G.Fs command sealed off. 2. Alexandar's Sonsei. 3. All character's HP must be ABOVE 8000+ [junction Magic to your HP, refer to G.F section for more details.] Well, if you have the requirements, it's time for the battle. Firstlty cast Cerebrus on your party. Cast Regen to all members. Next cast Aura on Squall and use his special techniques. Has Squall do the attacking, Recovery on one character and some Heal 3 to restore lost HP when the BOSS uses Dark Flare [the BOSS will fly higher and there you will see a name in the box above]. Have a couple of Raise to revive death characters. To reduce damage by half, cast Barrier to your party or the Mighty Guard. ######################################################################## NOTE: There is a hidden Draw Point [Triple] after the battle. Now do you know that all your commands has been unsealed. Now head back to the other side through the bell and up to the doorway. There you will find the last Draw Point [Stop], exit from the area. Now walk left through the hands of the clock and climb down the ladder. Next walk right and climb down the ladder. Now head north. There you will find the last Save Point and the door leads to the place where the witch Altemisia is.. Make your necessary preparations before the battles, make sure everyone's HP is at their maximum. Or might as well use a Tent. Now examine the door and pick the first option. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 6.3 T H E L A S T F I G H T zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz NOTES: The final battle will comprise of ALL characters. Defeated characters will be taken away by a spell and a new character will replace him/her. So conserve the good all members, especially Squall [highest attacking power, plus the powerful R1 trigger]. The character is being picked at random, changes each time you play. Sorry for the misleading information, in fact this has been tested by Ciovo as he has start the battle with Quistis, Rinoa and Irvine! Squall is not necessary to start the battle! There you will meet Altemisia [similar to evil Edea...] Next you will have a short conversation and you will have to battle against the final BOSS! ######################################################################## BOSS NO. 35 A L T E M I S I A G I V E R A A L T E M I S I A - G I V E R A F I N A L A L T E M I S I A ######################################################################## Name: Altemisia Level: 52 HP: 35,200 Givera Level: 43 HP: ????

Just simply cast Aura for a quick victory. OR Cast Cerebrus and Ultima thrice! Cast Regen too as the battles are CONTINOUS. GIVERA The situation started to changes. Givera is a tough one [not as tough as the Omega Weapon or the Ultimate Weapon]. This guy not only have killer moves but also Tornado and Meteor. Use G.Fs except for Brothers/ Grasharaboras/Diablo. The BOSS could cast Demi which will decrease character's HP greatly. The BOSS could also cause Poison/Darkness/ Blind/Sadness with a single attack. Use Remedy or Cure to counter this attack. I actually missed out a move. After you have defeated Givera, the BOSS will use Shockwave Phaser on your party [make sure that your character's HP is maintain around 6000+ as that move could does damage about 4000+] ALTEMISIA-GIVERA This is another tough battle. The BOSS could cast Meteor [2000+ to each character] and Tornado [3000+ to each character]. The BOSS could also take away spells from your character. Bash it up with G.Fs. [ except Carbunkle]. Cast Ulima thrice is also a useful move. The BOSS occasionally will summon tiny platelets [Level: 42, HP: 9000+] to attack your party. You can draw Cure from them to restore the status disorder.] Use Squall's R1 trigger to inflicit more damage on the BOSS [need to do three times if Squall's attacking power is 5000+] The BOSS could also cast Holy on your characters. You need to fight this two times. FINAL ALTEMISIA The most dangerous move, Hell Judgement which will reduce every characters [those in battles] to only 1. Counter with Heal 3 or the Leviathan's Recovery Command. It could also does a couple of deathly moves such as the Magic Drain, which will remove the entire lot of Magic (1 kind). The BOSS occasionally will use Flare on a member [3000+]. Again, use Squall's finishing move to dealt out damage, about 4 times if Squall's attacking power is 5000+]. So for these battles you require a chunk of Aura spells. The Hell Judgement CAN'T KILL your characters! If ALL your members' level is at 100, you will be able to draw Flare from the BOSS. NOTE: Defeated characters CAN be revive with Life /Raise / Sosei / Phoenix Down. But the BOSS could take away defeated characters with the Angel move. Another character will come... ######################################################################## After defeating Altemisia, Squall was been diverted from his party. Irvine thinks that the battle is over and thus meeting the rest, lost in time... Rinoa could not find Squall and was lost in time. Next the screen changes from white to black, leaving Squall alone from the rest. Squall keep on calling for his teamates, especially for Rinoa.. Next he will be brought to Edea's house where he meet young Squall and Edea. Suddenly, Altemisia appears and you will have the sequence on how Altemisia has transfered herself in Edea's body and mind and of course how she die. Squall will then tell Edea about a military academy called SeeD which will inspired Edea and her husband Cid to form a school for those whom want to join SeeD called Garden and followed by this FMV: ** FMV ** Squall was walking past a deserted island, feeling depressed as he can't find his love... Depression in his heart. Now the screen switches to Rinoa whom is running to search for Squall and was lost too. Examining her pendant, wishing Squall is all right. Now Squall will started to have illusions about Rinoa at the graduation ball and the President's mansion, Rinoa keeping on disappear from Squall's eyes. Squall can't stand it and fall onto the ground... Just then Rinoa has found Squall whom is barely breathing. She cries out and the screen will switch to the rest of the characters... Seifer/Fuujin/ Raijin at Balamb Dock, Laguna visiting the tomb of his wife... followed by the ending FMV (can't tell it ^_^;)... close your Playstation console until you saw the words "THE END" SPECIAL BOSS: THE OMEGA WEAPON Well, this is the MOST toughest BOSS of all Bosses in the game. Fancy doing a damage of 9998 with it's Omega beam. The nightmare of FFV is back on the game. Refer to Part II for more details. ######################################################################## SPECIAL BOSS : O M E G A W E A P O N ######################################################################## Name: Omega Weapon Level: 57 HP: 700,000+ Attacks: Level 5 Death, Meteor, Omega Beam, Omega Strike, Swipe, Demi, Torture Beam Facts: Absorb Holy-based damage. Draw: Flare, Holy, Meteor AP gained: 250 Bundoru: n/a Win: 1x Elemental Guard ||||||||||||||||||| < HP > ||||||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||| STR DEF ||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||| INT SPI ||||||||||||||||||| |||||||||| DEX EVA || ================== -----Strategy----- ================== Omega Weapon... Squall's and his party's worst nightmare. The most toughest BOSS on FF8. The Torture Beam does an unbelievable of 9998 HP to all members and the Omega Strike does a killing move to one character. The BOSS has also a deadly spell that would kill all members with a single move. The BOSS has a swipe that does 3000+ to one member and the powerful meteor spell. The BOSS ocasionally will unleash the Omega Beam that does 9999 HP damage to your character WHY USE A HERO DRINK? The Hero Drink could causes the Omega to miss its attacks on your characters as it does 0 damage. The downside is that you can't use magic on your characters as they are invisible! You have to wait for the Hero Drink to wear off. For all strategies, put the Hero Drinks in the front page of your inventory! 1ST METHOD contributed by ChaRle5! Deadly huh? Firstly you have accquired a ton of Hero Medicine [changing Laguna's card which is obtained by defeating Elone during your space jounery] 2 of them can be obtained by defeating Edea [end of Disc 2] and Seifer [end of Disc 3]. Use this constantly and it will make the character semi-invisible and then use Squall's R1 trigger to attack the BOSS. Have others doing the healing! 2nd METHOD contributed by Franksiskus Febrainto There is something to take note. You must cast Aura before you used the Hero Medicine or you can't cast Aura. Junction 100 Death Spells for every character [protects against Death-All]. After casting Aura on Squall, use a Hero Drink and have Squall unleashes the End of Heart. 3RD METHOD [I have finally come up with this method and it really works!] This is what I have used to defeat the Omega. First of all make sure you have acquired the following. Have Squall, Irvine and Zell in your party. Equip them with their best weapons [refer to part II on getting the materials for it]. If not get the characters with the highest level for this battle. 1. Equip Sakigeke for all characters [Pandemonium, Tonberi, Sabotander] 2. 50x Wave Bullets 3. Junction magic to the character's HP to 9999 [or equip "HP +80%" from the Carbunkle, Diablo and Brothers] 5. Equip Auto Haste on Squall and have about 40x Aura spells in Squall's inventory. About 20x Aura on Zell's inventory 6. Junction 100x Death to everyone's status defense [Grasharaboras, Siren, Alexander] if their levels are multiple of five. 7. Equip ITEM for everyone's last command. 8. Have about 10x Hero Drink [more, if your character are at higher levels] If you does not have enough, change Laguna's Card and get 100x of it]. 9. Equip Dexrity +40% on Irvine [as he is the most well-rounded character]. 10. Do not junction Holy to your attributes attack. Instead for those characters whom does not have Death spell, Holy works well for status defense against Instant Death METHOD: As soon as you can get into battle, has Squall cast Aura on himself, Irvine uses a Hero Drink on Zell, Zell uses a Hero Drink on Squall. Have Squall uses his special moves [hopefully you can get "End of Heart", you need to do this about 3 times to finish off the Omega]. When you have reaches Irvine's turn, use a Hero Drink. Have the other character attack the BOSS with the ATTACK command. Note that you can use Aura when your characters are invisible. Have Squall keep on using his desperation moves and you will be able to finish the Omega in no time. If the Hero Drink wears off before any other character, have that character summon a G.F [the G.F will recieved the hit, it is advisible to stock Life Magic for all characters. If any mishap has happened to Squall, focus all on Irvine and Zell [their deseperation moves packs a punch too!] Still not enought, refer to the Strategies section of Part II. ######################################################################## Well that's all folks.

BY Alex M ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This code is found in the Japanese underground/hacking magazine Game Labo in April and this code has been translated by Alex M. Only this FAQ carries the code, other FAQ writers please consult Alex through the following mail: [email protected] Here is the code: D006F308 000F 8006F1C8 0001 D006F308 000F 8006F1CA 0049 Once you have enable the code, press L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 together once you are in the game (it doesn't seem to matter which CD you use), the screen will fade and debug mode will begin. Be warned it's *very* buggy. If you have a good command of Japanese, you'll be able to work out what the submenus all mean, but even so, it seems that the mode was written for the programmers to test stuff they found important and so only they will know what everthing does! :) ======================================================================== 8.
