Then Biggs will sound the alarm ! Now you will see Mumba meeting his pals and start to follow them. Head for Floor No. 13, where Squall is being held captive at. There are ledges that blocked at one side of the stairs. This means that you have to walk around the contour. The layout of the 13th floor is different compared to other floors.

The commander has a high tendency of casting Aura on the robots. Deal with the Captian as it could summon a fire blast that does about 400+ HP damage. Draw Slow and use it on the Captain so that he will have less chance of restoring his lost HP. Beware of the dead-seeking rockets attack by the robots as it does about 300+ HP damage to one member. [it does 3/4 of your character's HP, just like Demi] Use G.F. Quetzalcoatl and Bolt on the robots and dealt the Captian with your magic and physical attacks. Use other G.Fs when necessary. I would recommend that you defeat the Captian first. Remember to steal Missel from the BOSS: GIM-52A so that Quistis could learn Micro Missile. You can make use of the Reflect spell by casting on the BOSSES as any good spells will be reflected on your members. ######################################################################## After the battle, Squall and his party will be at the controls room. Exit back to open area. Start to cross the bridge... ** FMV ** An awesome viewing of the height of the Prison Tower. It's surrounded by desert areas. Could not imagine the size of those pesky towers... Now proceed forward. Rinoa and the other party member will head for the door that's says 01. While Squall has trouble on his steps.. ** FMV ** The path starts to move apart, thus causing the bridge about to split apart. Squall moves backwards and hang onto the ledge... The area is then surrounded by thick smoke... Move Squall towards the green orb! Now your party will be at the lower ground of the tower. Now the rest of the members is there too. The females will enter the car on the right, while the males will enter the car on the left. Now they will move away from the Prison Tower. Your party will end up at a deserted road. Once you gained control of Squall, remember to draw some magic from the Draw Point. [Wind] Talk to Selphie and you will have a view of missiles being launched away from the missile silos from the Galbadia Missile base. Now that evil Edea had planned to destroy the Gardens with those deadly missiles. Selphie has a suggestion to Squall that is to split the entire members into two groups. Now you need to send two groups. One of the groups will be led by Squall, as they will be heading for Balamb Garden to warn Cid about this. While the other group led Selphie, will head for the Missile Base to stop the missiles from firing. Organize your party well and off you go! Can't make any suggestions? Here is a group of ideal parties: 0--- Squall Leonhart 0--- Selphie Tilmitt 0--- Rinoa Heartily 0--- Irvine Kinneas 0--- Zell Dincht 0--- Quistis Trepe. I suggest that you assign a stronger party for Squall as his mission is tougher compared Selphie's. SUICIDE ANYONE? contributed by Markweb Jimenez After defeating the BOSS, Squall will automatically hanging onto the ledge, right? If you did NOT move Squall towards the blinking green light, it's gonna to be a gameover [this also applies to when you are moving Squall towards left] zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 4.3 A F F I L A T I N G T H E M I S S I L E S B A S E zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz The screen will now switches to Squall and company.

Get onto the train and you will watch a funny sequence of a Galbadian soldier chasing after the train. ^_^; __________________________________________________ | It is quite a good choice to upgrade the members | | As it is great time to train up the weaker party | BATTLE TIP | members [such as Quistis and Selphie (as they | # 7 | appear in sub-missions rarely.

Press Circle to exit and save your game. Make your way to the Missile Base that's located at the other side of the desert. Note that the Galbadia truck has limited fuel!

Pick second option thrice and you have an amusing sequence. Now head back to the area where you find the keyboard. You will a Galbadian soldier calling some of the soldiers to enter the room where the warheads were. Next you will have the choice of running away, fighting them or continue your disguise. No matter what has happened just simply go up the stairs and you will have to fight two Galbadian soldiers and a Captain. They have new spells such as Confu, remember to draw some from them! Now Selphie and her company will be trying to destroy the system. Talk to the person on the left and you will be able to move to the room in the next area.

By the way, her name was Elone!]. Now you will have another short sequence between the two. Next the girl will exit and Squall is left alone in the library. Now the girl will leave with those 3 SeeD cadets and board the ship. There you have another FMV: ** FMV ** The plates behind that huge ship was raised and the ship was set to sail, heading towards the evening sun... Now Squall will be back at the Dormitory. There Squall will be dreaming of a little boy standing outside a building under the huge downpour. If Zell /Rinoa is in your party, he/she will come to Squall and pick any option. Now exit the Dormitory. Now you will hear Cid's speech through the anouncement system. The screen will start switching back to Cid whom has trouble in the controls. MORE SHOCKING NEWS: Actually the appearance of Laguna's scenarios in Squall's dream is actually Elone's doing... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 4.5 A R R I V A L A T F . H C I T Y . . . zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Thanks to Heero Yuy, F.H. stands for Fisherman's Horizon Now you should have this sequence: A man is fishing at the sea. Then suddenly Cid lost controls of the system and followed by the FMV: ** FMV ** The fishing man saw a gigantic Garden approaching the support of the harbour. Tides occured and thus flushing down those short pillars. Garden has hit one of those pillars. The man could not leave due to fishing rod got stuck in river. As a result, he had let go of his fishing rod to get away from the area.. __________________________________________________ |Remember to steal from SAM08G which will nab you | |an item [Fang Machine Gun] which allows Quistis to| |learn "Gatling Gun".

Now exit from the controls and you will be re-joined by your party members. Now head for the elevator and head for the 2nd floor. Head for the door that's enclosed with red light and you will find that Balamb Garden actually got stuck in between the ledges of the city. There will be a sequence with a villager. Now head right, talking to everyone that you have met along your way. As you approaches the corner of the stairs you will view an FMV of the city. Exit from this area. Now head to the extreme right corner and talk to the guy near the elevator and pick the 1st Option to enter F.H city. To get back to the upper section, talk to the man in light blue shirt. Now head down and you will find a windmill being surrounded by water. Right from this area is a Save Point and a Draw Point [Regen]. Now head to the windmill. Head up to the second floor of the windmill and you will have another sequence with the Station Master and his wife, I think. At the extreme right corner, you will find a hidden Draw Point [Ultima!]. Now exit from the windmill. There you will have another sequence with your party, exit and note that the background music has changed. Next you will meet the female Station Master and after a while, the Station Master himself. Now head right and down the track to the city. Head up and you will find a dismantled train track. In the middle of the compound, you will find the male Station Master being threatened by a Galbadian Captian. Pick the first option, Squall and his party will have a battle with those Galbadian forces. After the battle, the ground will suddenly shakes and you will have to fight a similar BOSS at the enemy's Missile Base. ######################################################################## BOSS NO. 13.

Just use Bolt magic to attack the BOSS and this battle could be an easy one. Heal your party when necessary. Do not use Poison on the BOSS. You can get Adamantium by using Bundoru on it! Make full use the "Aid" support as the G.Fs can do more damage. Leviathan will be a better choice as you could pump up to 140! If G.F Siren or Brothers have attained level 30+, you can easily pump up to 150+ Ouen! ######################################################################## After defeating the BOSS, you will meet Selphie and her party members. Now you will have a short conversation. Everyone will leave, leaving only Rinoa and Squall. Talk to Rinoa and pick any option. Head up to the damaged train station and you will find a Draw Point [Haste]. There is another hidden Timber Magazine at the house on the left of this screen. There is a Mumba statue in that house. On the right of the street that you first enter the city, you will find a wooden plank, head right and you will find a Weapon Blacksmith whom could upgrade your weapons and there's a Draw Point next to the Blacksmith. [Shield] BOATS ANYONE? This is rather amusing part where you can do these before you meet up Irvine. Head to the place where to you meet the Blacksmith and talk to the guy on the boat...^_^; Now exit and head back to Garden. You will meet Irvine along your way and he will join you. Now head for the Quad. You will find Selphie there. There will be a short sequence between Selphie and Irvine. Now Squall will be talk to Cid at the Controls room. Next the screen will transferred to other parts of Garden where you find other party members. Now Squall will be back his room... The screen will now switches to the rest of the party members outside the Windmill of F.H. town. The party members are organizing a concert to cheer up Squall. Then you will be given eight choices of instruments to select. You will proceed in this order: Zell, Irvine, Selphie and finally Quistis. After choosing the instrument/performance, select 1st option to use that particular instrument while the 2nd option to change the instrument. The list of instruments/performance is listed below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <<<< L I S T >>>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.

This song is similar to Rinoa's theme. F O L K : Guitar, Violin, Flute and Tap. [better conversation..] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now after you have set up the instruments, the concert can be done at any time. Squall will awake. Next exit and you will have a sequence between Irvine, Rinoa [in her ball outfit] and Quistis. Then it will leave both Rinoa and Squall alone.. Pick any option during their conversation. Now you will be at the area in front of the windmill. Talk to Irvine twice and head down the ladder and IT'S CONCERT TIME ! Press Square and head left. Next examine the "laptop" and you will have a sequence between Squall and Rinoa. Squall will be pushed down in the process and you will another sequence which causes this pair of lovers to quarrel again. Now Squall will be back on his bed and have the dream of a boy under the huge downpour. Now exit and head for the elevator and up to the 3rd floor. You will find Quistis, Sue and Needa . You will have a short talk. Now talk to the man and you will be asked to re-organize your party and it will switch to the World Map and the directions to control the air-ship. NOTE: Selphie will be out on her vacation, so you will not be able to have her in party for main missions. [except for the sequence at Balamb Town] ........................................................................ C O N T R O L S O F A I R S H I P : G A R D E N ------------------------------------------------------ Here are the controls: Square: Moves forward on land/sea X: Moves backward on land/sea Circle: Board/Unboard on land/shore only Triangle: Inside Garden. You will be able to move about in Garden by exiting from here. Talk to the driver and select first option. You will be asked to re-organize your party. Next you will be back at the World Map. R1: Changes camera view. Select: World Map [changes from a spot view, small map, full map] Note: The Balamb Garden has very low mobility, it can't crosses high type land and could only move on shores. By the way, it can't go through between cliffs that you have found at Galbadia. ........................................................................ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 4.6a T H E G A L B A D I A N A R E A T O U R zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz This section isn't compulsory but it provides you to get more items and allows you to complete special quests. Now head for the continent on the left of the World Map. You will find that Far East Garden, where you have recruit Irvine has turned into a piece of flat land! You can draw some magic from a hidden Draw Point if you examine the middle of that piece of flat land. [Despell] Now head for Dollet. _______________________________________________ |Usually at this moment of time, I will tried | |to gather rare cards from the people at | |Balamb [challenging the CC Group, Dr Kadowaki] | |and gather cards such as Queztalcoatl etc. It | |is also a great time to stock up magic spells | |such as Cure 2 which will provide more | |effective healing compared to Cure. It will be | |also a great time to nab "Liquid Substance" | BATTLE TIP |from the Geira. Also try to get all those | #10 |status spells such as Berserk, Confu, Silent | |and much more. Take your time to find more | |Draw Points from structures such as bridges. | |Note that when your characters level up, you | |will be able to draw spells such as Cure 3 and | |Merton. I will try to post the list of Draw | |Points if I have time. | |_______________________________________________| ======================================================================== DOLLET CITY : It has become a busy city! ======================================================================== ** Question No. 3 ****************************************************** Q. How do I enter Dollet ? A. Note that you can't docked Garden at Dollet. You can only enter the city through path leading behind. You will find the Radio Tower next to the path. Just simply follow the train track from the platform where you landed before heading for the forest found in front of Galbadia Garden. ************************************************************************ As you enter the city through the back path, you come to the Rent-A-Car shop [rent a brown coloured car costs 3,500 gil!]. Head south through the right path leads to the Restaurant area. Head left and you will end up at the place where your sub-boat has landed at Disc 1. Notice that the mess caused by that clumsy X-ATM092 has been clear up. You will find a house on the right of the first street. Going up the street leads you to the Casino, but too bad, you can't gamble! Now up the street again and you find a building on the right that says "NOUTLIUS". It is an item shop and a weapon upgrading shop. Pick 1st option to buy items, 2nd option to upgrade your weapons and 3rd option to exit from the building. How head up and you will reach the area where you find the fountain. Note that you can't head up to the Radio tower as it's blocked by a guard. Remember to draw some magic from the Draw Point [Silent] in the south-east corner. The building behind the fountain is the Dollet Hotel [pay 100 gil, there is a Save Point there too!]. The path heading northeast leads to the Rent-A-Car shop and you will be back at the World Map. LOCATIONS OF TIMBER MAGAZINES: 1. Casino of Dollet City: You find the magazine located on the table located at southwest. The man at the entrance is a Card Player. In fact he is the "Master" Remember to nab the Occult Fan II found between the deck of documents. [nearest to the door.] Pick the second option twice so that you could challenge the Master. 2. Dollet Hotel: Enter the hotel and pay 100 gil. Check the table for the magazine. The attendant outside the room is also a Card Player. ======================================================================== TIMBER: An unexpected journey... ======================================================================== THE MYSTERIOUS FURNACE Head for Timber Town, Rinoa's hometown. There is a mysterious quest, which I have recently uncovered.... First head to the area where you will find the bridge above the train tracks... you will find a girl there. As soon as Squall has approaches the little girl, the train comes forward and the scren will fade white... Next you will be brought to the Hotel. [A cheap way of getting the Timber Magazine ^_^;] Next head up to the house found in that area and examine the furnace thrice [picking 1st option everytime] and you will eventually get 500 gil from the quest. That's all and head back to WinHill. ======================================================================== WINHILL: Still like a quite and peaceful town. ======================================================================== The city has changed quite a bit. The locations of Magic are mentioned in Section 4.1. There is couple of changes. The winding path has been rebuild into concrete pathway and the truck is gone too. Note that you will not encounter any more monsters in the city any more. The Hotel is opened now and there is a secret that I was about to reveal, that's you can summoned the Chocobo in battles. Head for the street with CAUTION signboard. You will hear a similar theme for those whom have played FF7, it's the Chocobo theme! You will find a tiny Chocobo walking from left to right down the lane. Press Circle to approach it and it will release an item [one of the fragment]. Do this again and it will release the Gisaal Vegetables. If you check the item menu, you find that the icon is a cigarette type, similar to the Magic Lantern which is given to you by Cid at Disc 1. Now use it in battle and you will summon the Ko-Chocobo! If you do the process again, you will recieve a Phoenix Down and finally... test it yourself! Now head up for the main compound where you find the Pub and the house where Laguna has rested on. Enter the grand house and examine the bronze statue on the left and you will find that the statue moves and CRASH!. Actually a tiny Chocobo is in there. Remember to take the item [green in colour, one of those fragments] before leaving the building. 2ND PHOENIX WING and a GISAAL VEGETABLES? confirmed by Sung Kato Finally confirmed it! Upon getting the Phoenix Down [the red feather], you will not recieve a Phoenix Down. Actually if you check the item menu, it's a Phoenix Wing! You can get one Gisaal Vegetables too, it's the green leaf icon. ======================================================================== NEW NEW NEW FRAGMENTS OF THE POT contributed by ChaRle5! ======================================================================== Thanks to ChaRle5! for his codes. I have make some additions, making it more concise. Firstly, you must talk to the man in grey suit. The man will ask you to find four fragments of his pot. Here they are: 1. Piece No. 1: You will have to examine the statue. Yikes it moved! Actually there is a tiny Chocobo messing up with it and you will find the 1st piece, as soon as the Chocobo leaves. It's green in colour. 2. Head for the Pub on the left and up the stairs. Squall will have some illusions about Raine... And it has been replaced by a lady [quite similar those replacements in Nibelheim of FF7]. Talk to the lady twice and head downstairs. There examine the table on the low right left and the ghost of Raine will appear! Talk to her and screen will turn white. Next you will find her cat there. Talk to the cat and you will recieve the second piece. 3. Head for the florist's house and you will meet an old lady out there. Talk to her and examine the southeast of the flowerbed. Next you will be given two options, pick the 1st option and talk to the old lady again. Next examine the flowerbed [same spot] and you will find the 3rd piece. Plus the 4th piece, mention in the paragraph above, head back to the grand house and talk to the man in grey suit twice and he will give you an item. [Holy Stone] OTHERS.... They are quite tricky and dangerous. ======================================================================== VILLAGE OF SHUMI TRIBE ======================================================================== Thanks to Steven Bruck for his information on the location of the stones. Thanks to Jerry Ng for telling me the correct way to get all the stones, plus a fake Water Stone! Firstly to locate the village, it is in the snowy fields in the northern most continent. Next enter the village. You will find 3 Shumi people [looks like Nogue, guarding a Draw Point [Ultima]. Talk to them picking first option and pay 5,000 gil and then draw magic from the stone. Next enter the elevator [in the north]. Feel free to explore the village. You will eventually find a Mumba [remember the sequence at the Prison Tower], blocking the entrance of the door and the path leading to the Draw Point. [Ice 3] Just keep on head left until you come to a pond with the frog. Enter the house on the extreme left. There you find two Shumi people. Head up and you find the statue of Laguna and then you will be asked to find the five stones. By the way, there is another Draw Point [Fire 3] behind the statue of Laguna. Now head for the Village's Head house [you will find a Mumba outside the door]. Now talk to the village head. The rest of your party members will move away. Now head back to the house where you find the Laguna's statue. Now pick the 2nd option. Next the man will ask you to find the five stones: Blue, Wind, Life, Shadow and Water GETTING THE STONES: This is quite simple. Just simply examine a spot. If you have found the correct spot, you have a message box with the question mark. After you have found one, report to the man near the statue. Here are the locations: LOCATIONS OF THE STONES _______________________________________________________________________ | | | | Name | Where to find it? | |______________|_______________________________________________________| |Blue Stone | In the room with the statue. It is on the back wall. | | | Examine the huge blue coloured rock. | |______________|_______________________________________________________| |Wind Stone | Go to the first screen of the village. Search it and | | | you will find the Wind Stone. The screen where you | | | find the Hotel of Shumi Village. It is found near the | | | rocks. | |______________|_______________________________________________________| |Life Stone | Go to the second screen where you find the village | | | chief's house. Go to the middle of the tree and | | | examine it. If done correctly, Squall will climb up | | | the branch and get the stone. | |______________|_______________________________________________________| |Shadow Stone | Back to first screen where you find Ultima. Go to the | | | right side and search behind the pillar that casts a | | | shadow. This is where you find the elevator. It is | | | found under the shadow of the container. | |______________|_______________________________________________________| |Water Stone | Go to Tsukurit's House and search by the sink and you | | | find last stone. Tsukurit's House is just beside the | | | the building where you find the statue of Laguna. | | | It is the left side of the sink. | |______________|_______________________________________________________| FAKE WATER STONE contributed by Jerry Ng. (NEW) As the man at the statue tells you to get the Water Stone. Try to the search the pond where you found the frog at the pond and you will get a fake stone! Now hand the last stone to the man and talk to him. Next you will be asked to head to the Village Chief's house. There you will have a short sequence and the assistant will give you the Phoenix Wing! I have tested this out and can't find out that there is no Timber Magazine. There is one correct part, that's you can rest in the inn for free. There is also a Save Point there too. CAR MODELS ANYONE? Well I have discovered the trick. Head for Tsukirit's house, talk to him and he will drop models of Galbadia buses and cars onto his bed. After that incident, you can get the Timber Magazine if you have talked to the fisherman in F.H. City. ======================================================================== Sentora Ruins: Getting the Odin ======================================================================== NOTE: I have did this in Disc 3. You need not to have to select the item to summon it in battles. In fact, Odin appears randomly about 1/10 of chance. It is also possible to get the Odin in Disc 2 and I have did that. __________________________________________________ |After you have gotten the Odin, return back and | |stock spells such as Death and Zombie which are | |good status ailments. Junction Death to the | BATTLE TIP |character's status defense. Death can be obtained | #11 |from the Tonberi. | |__________________________________________________| BUG IN FF8? Well, there is a bug in Disc 3. if you did not finished getting the Odin in the time given at Disc 3, the game will automatically freeze if you choose to Retry. So that's the offical bug. The Sentora Ruins is found somewhere in the Sentora region, south of the world. It's on one of those islands. The structure is kinda strange. It's also called the "Blue Heaven" Enter it and notice that there is a timer which last about 20 mins. Make sure you have accquired the Diablo's Encounter Nothing Skill. The monsters here are pretty tough. Watch for Tonberries [remember those tough cookies which can be morphed into a Ribbon found in the Northern Crater of FF7?]. Now enter the ruins and take the stairs leading right. You can't get the G.F. Tonberi at this time as you need to defeat 20 Tonberi before you can fight the King Tonberi. This does not work during this time, even if you can defeat them, besides there is a time limit! Get the Odin first, before you attempt to get the Tonberi. Anyway there is another Draw Point found near pipe found in the main compound [Life] Up the stairs and enter the chamber of the Odin. Next examine the stone block, it's actually an elevator. Next you have to two ladders. The right one leads to a Draw Point. [Wind] Take the left ladder. Examine the blue orb. Next climb down and examine the blue orb on the panel that's on the ground, it will reveal a stair way. Up the stairway, until you reached the statue of a monster. Climb up the ladder on the left and examine the statue and choose 1st option to take the Eye Ruby. Now head up the stairs which will lead to the next statue. Climb up the ladder and put the eye that you will find a password [the password is random and it looks like this 0-4-8-5-6] Now remove both eyes and head back to the first statue. Place the eyes on the statue and the torch on the right will be lighted and enter your password. Well the numbers are placed in a vertical row. Just simply switch the digits using Left or Right of the D-Pad and Down to proceed to the next number. If you entered the password correctly, it will reveal a secret chamber and you will find the Odin. It's time for BOSS fight! ######################################################################## SPECIAL BOSS O D I N ######################################################################## Name: Odin Level: 23 HP: 7,900 Attacks: n/a Facts: n/a Draw: Stop, Death, Double, Triple AP gained: 20 Win: 8x G.F Mega Potion Bundoru: 1x Writtings of Luck |||||||||||||| < HP > |||||||||||||| |||||||||| STR DEF |||||||||||| |||||||||||| INT SPI |||||||||||| | DEX EVA || ================== -----Strategy----- ================== This BOSS does NOT attack! Just keep on attacking until he is dead. But beware of the time limit. Just G.Fs and Magic to dish out damage. There is a way of defeat the Odin in three minutes, just simply cast Triple and use a powerful spell and you will be able to defeat it in no time! Seize the opporunity to stock Triple which is a good spell for junctioning. Note that you can't summon the Odin, instead it will appears randomly, refer to Part II for more details. ######################################################################## Well that's all for the Sentora Ruins and you will be back here later at Disc 3. You must get the Odin before you can get the G.F. Tonberi. You can get G.F Tonberi at this moment of time if your characters are that powerful... ======================================================================== RIDING CHOCOBOS GUIDE ======================================================================== NOTE: You need to summon a Chocobo from any of the Chocobo Forests before you could summon Ko-chocobo. Otherwise, whenever you uses the Gisaal vegetables, the summon will be invalid. It's true that you can ride a Chocobo in FF8! Firstly you must find a Chocobo Forest [like a forest hill] and enter it. Next you will meet a man inside the forest. Talk to him and he will explain the way of catching a Chocobo. After done with the speaking, examine any spot with the Square button within that area, until a message box appears. Pick the third one and the man will summon a Chocobo but you have to pay 1,200 gil for it. After done with that talk to Chocobo, pick the first option. Now you will be back at the World Map. Here are the controls of riding a Chocobo: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ C O N T R O L S ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Circle: Unboard from Chocobo. NOTE: the Chocobo will run away immediately after you have unboard it. D-Pad: Move the Chocobo. NOTE: Normal Chocobos can't cross rivers, oceans and mountains unless special type Chocobos, not sure whether they are in the game or not. Select: World Map [Spot View, Small World Map, Main World Map] T H I N G S T H A T Y O U S H O U L D K N O W .... There is something new about Chocobos in FF8. Now you enter the area directly while riding the Chocobo. However you will be UNABLE to recover it once you exit from that area. While riding on a Chocobo, you will not encounter random battles on the World Map. There is a sub-game about Chocobo unless you owned a Pocketstation, unfortunately I did not owned one. But thanks to Zane Merritt for providing this information! Chocobos can cross shallow waters! A CHOCOBO MINI-GAME ? If you are observant enough, you will find a red bar on the right hand corner, that's the Chocobo Sonar. As you press Square, you will be given four options and here they are: 1. Equip Chocobo Sonar to detect for Chocobos 2. Catch a Chocobos 3. Summon a Huge Chocobo 4. Nothing Option 1: It allows you to use the Sonar to detect for small Chocobos. Just press X and you will a high-pitch ring. If there is one, the rate of catching a small chocobo is the highest. After this, press Square and pick Option 2. Option 2: It allows you to catch small Chocobos [without money!]. Just simply press X and you will find tiny chocobos landing on the ground. If you choose to do it at a low Sonar rating, a small Chocobo appears, but on Squall's head and left afterwards. Your aim is to reduce the amount to one Chocobo left standing. Option 3: It allows you to tell the Chocobo Master to summon the huge Chocobo for riding and you must pay 1,200 gil. Option 4: Allows you to do nothing. ======================================================================== POCKETSTATION GUIDE ======================================================================== At last, someone in this world has provided me information on the PDA. Here is the list of information on PDA [Pocketstation] Well, someone has provide me information on the PDA [but I can't confirm it.] The credits goes to Zane Merritt. Here is an ASCII image of PDA (Pocketstation) ______________________ | __ __ | Well here is an ASCII art of the PDA. It is | / |====| \ | white in colour. Looks cute ^_^; It is an egg | | ______ | | shaped structure and has five buttons. XX | | ||XXXX|| | | refers to the screen. Thanks to Zane Merritt | | ||XXXX|| | | whom has sent three good pictures of the PDA! | | ||XXXX|| | | This is an enlarged view of the Pocketstation. | |\----------/| | He also send me a picture of Ko-Mogri with | | [] _ | | the words "STANDBY" and "SLEEP" | |[] [] [_] | | Well hopefully that I can get more help | | [] | | from more contributors on the Pocketstation! | |\ /| | | | \ SONY / | | If you have any questions on the PDA, e-mail | |__\______/__| | to Zane Merritt at inverse@ignmail.com |______________________| CONTROLS OF THE POCKETSTATION ------------------------------- [2] ___ [1] [3] | 5 | [4] |___| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Button No.1: Moves Boco [the Chocobo that you are playing as] fast to the west and cycles through the menu Button No.2: Moves the Chocobo fast to the north and selects the menu options. Button No.3: Moves the Chocobo fast to the east and cycles through the menu. Button No.4: Moves the Chocobo fast to the south and selects the menu options. Button No.5: Brings up the menu when being held for a while, allows you to the Chocobo RPG (it also save your game automatically] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BASIC INFORMATION... You can get the remaining G.Fs Mogri and the Mumba from the Chocobo RPG. To begin the RPG, you must get the Chocobo from the Chocobo Forest [ where you will be able to name the Chocobo!]. These summons cannot be used while the Chocobo RPG is loaded on the Pocketstation (the top command in the Chocobo RPG menu must be selectable for them to be used) ENHANCED CHOCOBO SUMMON? <> CHOCO FLARE When playing the Chocobo RPG, level up to Level 50 and you will come to an event where Boco [the Chocobo that you are playing] save a female Chocobo. Afterward, it will say "Power Up" in FF8. Whenever you use the Gisaal Vegetables, the Chocobo will use Choco Flare instead of Choco Fire <> CHOCOBO METEOR First of all you need to do this: -> You must get to Level 100 -> One of the first events, you'll run into a female chocobo [the one which you have saved previously] and the chocobo has been kidnapped by a wizard. -> Run around a lot and after MANY, MANY battles, you will eventually ran into the wizard. Kill the wizard and the female chocobo will thank you and then leave the screen. -> Run around a lot more and after many events, you meet up the female chocobo again and Boco will receive a kiss from the female chocobo and "POWER UP" <> CHOCOBUCKLE -> Same as the Chocobo Meteor. It is just after that you have gotten Chocobo Meteor. It does an outstanding of 5-digit damage! GETTING THE MOGRI SUMMON... In order to get the Mogri summon, you must rescue one of the mogris in the Chocobo RPG. Once you do this when you load the Chocobo RPG data back into FF8, you will a G.F icon-based "Mog Charm". Use this to G.F and the G.F will learn the battle command "Ko-Mogri" Use this in battle and you will summon the Mogri and it will use "Mogri Dance" (Heals about 1,500 HP to all G.Fs that are equipped to the battling characters.) GETTING THE MUMBA SUMMON... You need to get an A-class item. For more information, contact Steven Bruck or Zane Merritt to get it. NOTE: This summon will only works if, when you load the Chocobo RPG data into FF8 game and also applies if the Mogri is in the stand by position instead of sleeping. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTES: In fact this is much better as you don't have to require a Chocobo Lure Materia to catch one and have to fight random battles and finding those Chocobo Tracks... There is no Chocobo forests found in both Balamb and Galbadia Areas. Here is the list of Chocobo Forests: 1. The Chocobo Forest behind the mountain that surrounds Travia Garden 2. The Chocobo Forest in Travia Area [western side of the continent] 3. The Chocobo Forest next to the Shumi Village. 4. The Chocobo Forest in Sentora Area where you find the Ruins 5. The Chocobo Forest near Edea's House. 6.

Now take the elevator down, the design of Control room has changed. Press Circle, pick the 1st option to exit from the Control Room. Now you will meet up the rest of the party except for Zell and Rinoa. Then you will be asked to refrom a new party. Talk to Quistis and you need to head for the Quad, [first floor, the west-wing] and you will have an FMV feast. ** FMV ** A deer is eating the grass and suddenly the gigantic Galbadian Garden moves forward, thus scaring it away. Note that you will be landed on the 2nd floor, instead heading up, return to the elevator and head for the Quad. The Quad has been infested with both Garden and SeeD members.

Once Squall is being pushed out through that emergency exit, you will find Squall's life bar on the south left hand corner and the opponent's life bar at the right hand corner. Just simply use punches and kicks. Defend will reduce the damage. Just kick the guard when he is defending. The battle will take part in mid-air and it's a difficult one. If you are defeated, pick the first option and you will be back talking at the boy. There is something new. If Squall has defend for a long time, you will see a box that tells you to press Triangle. If you do that Squall will unleash the special punch! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ After defeating the guard, you will have this awesome FMV... ** FMV ** Squall glides around the huge-massive Balamb Garden and find Rinoa.

He is much tougher and stronger, but still has a weak point.... You can draw Haste from him and use it for faster summoning of G.F. monsters. There is a tendency of him using his trademark on Squall, the Tornado Swordattack [about 1000+ HP damage]. So make sure other characters has a couple of Life Magic and Phoenix Downs in their inventory. Cast Aura and make full use of Squall devastating trademark and use it on Seifer. ######################################################################## FINDING EDEA...

First of all, you can only fight against Seifer. He is pretty weak, plus his HP has been depleted. Next draw some Haste, store a few of them. After defeating Seifer with your G.Fs, you will be able to fight Edea. Edea too has improved tremedously. Her Darkness Flare not only does 500+ HP damage to all members, but also causes Darkness status. Draw Esuna from the BOSS to restore the status, as it prevents your character from using special moves! Take NOTE! Have someone with ITEM as their fourth command, Remedy / Echo Screen will be very useful to cure the Silence disorder. Use G.Fs on the BOSS. The BOSS has a tendency on casting Reflect on herself, use Despell, to break this off. Cast Aura and use your special moves to dish out addition damage. Have Life magic in someone's inventory and a couple of Phoenix Downs. For a fast win, draw Demi and use it on the BOSS and it reduces her present HP to only 3/4! If you have junctioned Triple to Squall's Strength through Strength J, you will be able to make the most out of it and the battle is an easy one. ######################################################################## Now you will view the scene of Seifer falling on the ground.

Edea will regain her consicious and she is actually the "mama sensei" referred by Squall and his party [except for Rinoa]. Worst of there is another huge question mark, Edea, during all this while, did not know what she has been doing all this while... SAVE your game. Popped in Disc 3 and start playing !
