zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 5.1 E D E A ' S A G O O D L A D Y ! ? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Now Squall will be back lying on his bed in the Dormitory. Next he will head and look at the injured Rinoa and then Quistis will inform Squall to head for Edea's house which is the building with lighthouse. Near the lighthouse, there is a Draw Point [Holy]! You can now get to the World Map through the Central Gate or through the controls. Either way will result you, forming a new party however you can't have Rinoa in your party at this moment of time. Now enter the house on the left of that island [it's with the lighthouse]. Now you will head up to the building and you will find the rest of your party members outside house. The house seems have been damaged and been abandoned for a long time. Now head up and enter the house. You will find an item on the ground [it's the Timber Magazine]. Next enter the room located at the north and draw some magic from the Draw Point located there [Cure 3]. Now head back and enter the right side which will causes you to meet Cid. Now head right and you will meet Edea along with her husband.... Here is some great news. You can win Edea's Card along with Seifer's Card by winning a Card game from Cid and Edea. Edea will tell you about something and here is the scoop: SCOOP: A witch named Altemisia from the future always want the power to compress time [i.e. allowing people in the past, the present and the future to live in the same time] She's searching for someone whom have some memories of the past, Elone. Rinoa could be the person for the present. Edea tries to refuse it but as in a result, was forced in the process.. Edea thinks the only solution is to prevent Elone from being captured by that evil witch... for Elone has mysterious powers. Just simply talk to Edea about 4 times and then attempt to exit and you will be called back by Edea and your party. Next you will be back to the Controls of Balamb Garden, 3rd Floor. PS: You can get another copy of the Weapon Upgrading Guide at the Training Center [enter the left door where you find the materials.] Search the ground, it's somewhere around there. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 5.2. S W I T C H I N G B A C K T O T H E P A S T zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz After regaining control of Squall, have two persons in mind and have G.Fs equipped especially the Shiva. Next head for the Infirmary where Rinoa is. Now time will be transported to the past.... Before that you will have a party change like whom is representing whom in the past. Squall, of course is going to represent as Laguna and have those two characters represent as Kiros and Ward. Now Laguna, along with his bundies, Kiros and Ward are doing their prepartions for a play. Ward and Kiros are asked to dress as the evil Dragon and thus make their prepartions.... Now Laguna will enter the stage dressed as shining Knight armed with a sword. Now Laguna head forward towards the princess and the director after some conversation, a gigantic red dragon appears and head down the slopes. Laguna thought that the dragon is Kiros and Ward in disguise but he is mistaken, it is a real Rubulmdragon! Now you have another sub-game, a sword fighting game! MINI-GAME : Laguna's a dragon-slayer ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ================== Square : Defend -----Controls----- X : Attack ================== NOTE: Laguna's Life Bar will be shown at the low-left corner, while the Rubulmdragon's Life Bar is at the low-right corner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ========================= S T R A T E G Y ============================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Similar to the last sub game you have at Balamb Garden, you will be forced to take some damage. Laguna is not fighting the Dragon with his machine gun but a knight sword. This sub-game is pretty simple. Just simply return fire after the Dragon has attacked. As the Dragon attack Laguna, hold Square and Laguna will defend thus recieving no damage. It's just a piece of cake ! Well if you are defeated, choose the 1st option to resume the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ After you have completed the mini-game, Laguna will head down but he was trapped ! Luckily, Kiros and Ward came to his rescue, then you will have two options. The first one will FIGHT the dragon instantly, but note that neither Kiros nor Ward were equipped with G.Fs, so take note. Choose 2nd option which will result Laguna and his party to run. Next you will need to head left. In the first screen, you will find a Save Point, so head up and until you reach the top of the cliff. Now head back down, note that you will encounter random battles and fight the sub-boss, he's a bit tough. ______________________________________________________ |Never ever look down on the elemental arts.

He has pretty high- damaging attacks about 500+ HP damage. Next what you draw from the BOSS cannot be use to fight AGAINST him. Use Shiva [hopefully you have accquired the Aid Command] and Alexandar to dish out damage. Use other G.Fs too except for Pandamonium and Ifrit. Use Cerebrus for fast- casting of spells. The BOSS has a Dragon Breath which does damage to all members. You can get the Fire Dragon Fang by using Bundoru on it.

Next head northeast a bit and you will be able to locate the ship, somewhere in Sentora Region. You will find the ship docked at C-shaped Island, in the middle of islands. Make contact with the ship and your characters will be boarding onto the ship. NOTE: The ship is located in between the islands north-east from Edea's house. It is much smaller compared to Balamb Garden. BTW, the ship is actually a ship from Esthar that was sent to get Elone and head for Esthar.

Make sure you have accquired the stealing ability from the Diablo. If not try to gain some levels. SAVE your game. Well that's all for the time being, watch for the next update. By the way, it is safer to drive a car! [Note that you can't get into any random battles through driving a car.] Now exit the city and head to the outskirts of the city. Next head south-east of the continent of the World Map. It's called the Tear's Point. Next examine the Draw Point [Life] along the path and head up. Now in front of the statue, examine the Draw Point [Reflect] and pick up the Solmon's Ring. Next you need to steal Molbor Tentacles with the Diablo's Bundoru character ability. After you reach the requirements shown in the table below, you will be able to summon the Grasharaboras by using the Soloman's Ring. _______________________________________________________________________ | | QUANTITY | Name of ITEM | | |__________|_______________________| |===================================| 1x | Soloman's Ring | |REQUIREMENTS FOR G.F. GRASHARABORAS| 6x | Remedy Plus | |===================================| 6x | Iron Pipe | | | 6x | Molbor's Tentacle | |___________________________________|__________|_______________________| Due to many questions regarding the Grasharaboras, I have planed to make it more detailed. The Remedy can be brought from shops except for Soloman's Ring and Molbor's tentacles. Here is information on getting materials. Molbor's : A giantic green-monster with huge mouth, a huge plant with tentacles very high HP. It has an attack [Bad Breath] which will cause all status aliments like Confuse,Berserk, Poison, Darkness and Blind. So be careful about it. This gigantic monster is pretty strong. By the way, it has a low occurence rate baout 1/10 chance if you ask me. You will not find any more Molbors here after getting Ragnarok. It can be found at the Island of Hell after recieving Ragnarok. So it's critical to meet them at here before you head for the space station. The island closest to Heaven is marked on the northwest area of the World Map. You can find the world map at my webpage. It's possible to win Molbor's tentacles without stealing from them. [JUNK]. For tip on defeating the Molbor, refer to Part II. Iron Pipe: You can find these defeated those green-yellow gorillas found at the hills of Galbadia, using Bundoru to steal from it. Sorry about the misleading information, as you will get Iron Spheres by defeating them. [G.F] Remedy Plus: Firstly, you must have accquired the Alexandar ability of Medicine Level Up to upgrade Remedy. 1x Remedy Plus is equalvent to 10x Remedies! [need to spend 60,000 gil] Remedy used for curing and removing status aliments like Poison, Confuse, Berserk. [MEDICINE]. To acquire Medicine Level Up, you must acquire Medicine Knowledge. Refer to G.F. Section for more details. _______________________________________________________ |Molbors are a great headache as they have an attack | |could cause Poison, Berserk, Silent, Confu and Blind. | |Have a bunch of Remedies in your inventory to cure the | |ailments after the battle. Equip Sakigeke [Pandemonium | BATTLE TIP |,160 AP] and Bundoru [Diablo, 200 AP] to a character. | # 13 |Be patient, Molbors have very low encounter rate, so | |be patient. As you get into the battle, steal and then | |run! (press R2 and L2) | |_______________________________________________________| NOTE: Esthar will be infested by devils from the Hell, due to Rinoa releasing the future witch and the surrounding will turns a bit slightly red, so that explains why you can't find any Molbors there any more. You can find them at the forests near the Chocobo Shrine. The World Map can also be found at my website. Refer to it for more details. BTW, it can also be found at ChaRle5! FF8 website (http://members.xoom.com/hkcomic_net) After obtaining this following requirements, just use the Solomon's Ring and you will summon Grasharaboras! This is rather time consuming, but it is worth it. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 5.7 T H E J O U N E R Y T O O U T E R S P A C E zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Next head for Lunar Gate, it's north from Tear's point. The most distinguise feature is the platform for blasting off rockets. Now head there and enter it. Next enter the building. At the building, follow the lady, you meet someone, not a person... it's Angelo. Next Squall will confront Angelo, next enter the place where you found the space capsule. Now you will find that the rest of your party will be gathered at the place. During the conversation and pick the 1st option. Now when Squall talk to the assistant, pick the second option. Now pick any option choose the person whom is going to outer space.. Zell and Edea can't go along with Squall and Rinoa. Next enter the capsule, after the selected third party member enters that place. Now the screen will switch to the people at that controls, and you will have an FMV of the capsule blasting into mid-air... Now the screen switches back to Zell and the rest. You will be able to control Zell and exit through the door with the green orb. Next you need to head back to the Esthar Captial. This followed by another FMV of the Lunatic Pandora approach the city.. Head back to the captial and head left twice, crossing the street with the red pipe that's has been written "LEFT SIDE" and "RIGHT SIDE". Next head down when you come to the elevator junction. Draw some magic from the magic stone and head for the Research center. Talk to the guy at the entrance, picking 1st option and enter the building. Now you should be familiar as you are back to the place where Laguna has come to during the 5th Scenario. Next board the elevator and enter the controls room where you find Odain. Now talk to Odain and he will brief you about the Pandora... The Pandora will pass through the city and launch three attacks. You need to stop them. They will come to the following places: ATTACK SPOT NO. 1: A Street where you will find the bird eye's view of the city. Time: 15:00 ~ 12:00 [4] on the map. ATTACK SPOT NO. 2: The place where you will find the intersection of the streets. Time: 10:00 ~ 05:00 [9] on the map. ATTACK SPOT NO. 3: The place where you will find the construction works. Time: 03:00 ~ 00:00 [12] on the map. ___________________________________________________ |The monsters that you encounter here are either | |mechnical beast or Galbadia troops. So junctioned | |Bolt 3 to your character's Attributes Attack. For | BATTLE TIP |those whom does have acquired Missel, this is the | # 14 |last chance that you are getting the item. Edea is | |quite a good magic user, so have her doing the | |healing. Choose your characters wisely. | |___________________________________________________| These spots are where the place where you will find the Lunatic Pandora. So head back to the city. Now you need to head for Attack Spot No.1. You will find a time-bar which will tell you the time. So head right until you reach the central gate. Next take the path heading north from here, OBSERVE carefully. Now head up and draw Magic from the Draw Point [Cure 3] located on the platform. Next head left. Press Square and you will find the picture of clip under the time bar. Now wait there until the time hits 15:00. NOTE: You will encounter random battles at the city. Press Square to view clips of the locations, this also means that you can't play any card game. As soon you found the Lunatic Pandora, you fight some Galbadian Soldiers, kick them out of your way. Now Zell and his party will enter the Pandora. Now draw magic from the Draw Point [Meteor] on the right. Next head up and you find another Draw Point [Cure 3] near the elevators. BTW, There are couple of Draw Points found here. So it's your concern to find them all. Board the 02 elevator. Now head down and turn left once you reach the junction and proceed until you found that you are on the other side of the walkway. Once exit from that area, keep on heading down until you reach the 03 elevator. [RED] There is a ledge located at south-east and climb down the ladder and you will find a Draw Point [Confu]. On the tunnel found on the right, you can get a Love Love G.F. Climb and board 03 elevator. Once reach the ground floor, entered 01 elevator. Now head left and you will find a Draw Point [Holy] on the lower left corner. Head up (a Save Point if you have equipped Discover Hidden Points) and until you find a huge robotic monster and approaches it. You will be thrown off from the Pandora and this followed by this FMV. ** FMV ** The Pandora approaches the Tear's Point and covered the site. As a result, this causes the cracking on the face of the staue. Pandora will now be covering it... The screen switches back to Zell and followed by a short sequence. The screen fades and switches to Squall and his party... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 5.8 A T O U T E R S P A C E . . . . zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ** FMV ** Launching of the capsule into outer space. There you will see the connecting of the space shuttles and some astronauts helping in the process. The shuttles are then assembled and brought into an area filled with green glowing light. Squall and his party will be released from their capsule. The screen is being tilted by the way. Now talk to the space crew and examine Rinoa whom is behind the guard near the south-left corner. Then Squall will carry Rinoa on his back. Now followed everyone to the infirmary on left of the walkway, Enter the room and you will see Squall placed Rinoa inside an oxygen chamber. The guard is a card player by the way, exit and followed the man dressed in white, Piett. Now you should be on the junction where you found a stairs. Head up and enter the controls room. Now check the monitor on the right of mains. Next you will have a FMV about the rocks on the planet. Now talk to Piett and leave the room. Now head back to the area where you found the stairs. Head up and you should be at a tunnel. Talk to the girl and you will have another sequence. [there is an FMV of several astrounauts fixing a wall for a huge gigantic monster? Looks like Jenova in Mount Nibel of FF7..] There is a pathway that leads to the Astronaut's Locker Room and it is in the north-east direction of the tunnel. Now walk down the tunnel. You will find Elone in the next area. There is a hidden Draw Point in this area. [Meteor] Next talk to Elone. Now Elone will follow Squall after the conversation. Time to check on Rinoa. [Do forgot Laguna's Card, which can be obtained from Elone through the Card Game!] Next as you were in the tunnel, and the screen will switches to Rinoa, whom is starting to move. And a warning signal was sent to the controls, could it be the machine failure. Next your other party member will leave along with Elone. Now head for the Infirmary. As you was at the walkway outside the Infirmary, you will find the guard being knocked by a ghostly Rinoa. Press Circle at Rinoa and Squall will be rejected off from her. Head for the controls room, where she is heading to. Now at the control room, bump to her and she will leave. Check the monitor on the right and you will be shown the picture of the rocks. Next you will have an FMV of a spaceship approaching the planet. Leave the controls room and head upstairs and you will have this FMV: ** FMV ** The view from outerspace of the Planet. Then the screen switches to a strange planet which looks like an eye, which you will find an entire flock of them at the planet. Yucks ! The monsters are heading for the planet. Lava starts to pouring out... Enter the Astronaut's Locker room and you will find Rinoa [dressed in an astronaut suit head for the airlock. Now you need to get an astronaut suit, examine the cabin and Squall will change into an astronaut! Head for the air lock, through the door on the left in the locker room. You can't get Rinoa back to the place... Now head back to the control room and you will have an event of Rinoa breaking the circuits of that trapped monster... Now the ship has trouble as it is heading near the cursed planet. Now talk to everyone and they will head for the escape pod. Talk to Elone and head right from the controls. Talk Elone whom was on the elevator and you will find a Save Point there. Head right and talk to Elone. Next examine the unoccupied pod and you will view an FMV: ** FMV ** The escape pod has removed from the main shuttle and watch the end of the shuttle, Ka-Boom! Next Elone will come out and has a flashback... Rinoa is on a Galbadian Truck with Irvine, a very funny sequence and followed by the talk with Zell at Balamb Garden. Next you will have the sequence after you have defeat Edea at the end of Disc 2. Rinoa has been possessed by the witch from the future... and you will have a long event. Here is the summary of the event: Rinoa starts to float past through the space. As time passes, Rinoa is floating closer and closer. Next you will have a couple of FMVs of Rinoa regaining her consicious after her pendant floats up. She starts to think of Squall and operate her oxygen tank.. actually this is in Squall's mind. Squall started to exit from his chamber and help Rinoa and head out of the escape pod and reaches for Rinoa. Next you will have a mini-game of Squall catching Rinoa, which is about 2 minutes to catch Rinoa.. Just simply position her in the middle of the screen and press X to secure the position You will be automatically reunited with Rinoa after you have secured Rinoa.. Now Squall will carry his love and carry her forward in space and found a giant ship [Ragnarok] shown in a cool FMV. They will then enter the ship. Next examine the panel on the left and it will close the air-lock. Now head up and you will have some short conversation. Now go through the door and you will find out that the ship has been infested with gigantic monsters. Head down stairs and you will have to fight eight of them. Here are the general stats of these monsters. You will win stones such as Holy Stone, Shield Stone, Barrier Stone and the Ultima Stone. Stealing from them through the Bundoru command, will result your characters nabbing items such as Magic Guidance Stones.

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.

[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.

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.

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.
