The Main Menu is a very important section as it allows you to use
items, view stats of your characters and G.F., saving your game,
adjust game settings, etc.

=====================================================
NOTE: All the settings are use in default settings.
=====================================================

++ JUNCTION MENU ++

## JUNCTION ##

Pressing Circle will release the following at the top bar.

This allows you to set the G.F monsters that you want to use and this
will lead to the Optimize and Ability Menu.

Choosing spells to bolster your character's stats.

## REMOVE ##


Removes all the spells are set using the Junction Menu.

Removes all Commands [G.F command, Magic command, Item command, Draw
command] set that is by using the Junction Option.

## OPTIMIZE ##


Optimizes the spells by configurating according to the attacking power.

Optimizes spells for the highest magic attack and defense.

Optimizes spells for highest defensive power.

## ABILITY ##

This option is the only way to configure what other actions, that your
character could perform besides the normal attacks and special attacks.
Once you have equipped a G.F, you will have 4 four abilities being set.
Here is the list of commands:


Allows your characters to cast the spells that you have drawn from
opponents or Magic Stones.

Allows you to summon the G.F. monsters. There you will see the HP of
the G.F. replacing the HP of the commanding character. There is a time
bar in blue. The monster will automatically being summoned as all the
blue bar has been used up. This can be cancel if the monster's HP
reaches zero, being cast a confusion spell or silence spell.


|One of the most important commands used in the game. With this command,
|you can "draw" magic such as Fire, Bolt and much more from enemies.
|NOTE: You must have this command in order to draw magic from the Magic
| Stones [purple transulcent bubbles].
|----[Stack]
|Saves the magic for later use. Up to the maximum number of 9 spells
|that can be drawn, this will depend on the level of your opponent, the
|level of your character and your luck.
|
|----[Release]
|One charge can be drawn in this way, but the spell will immediately
|expelled. The spell is being used at half of the damage. But this
|situation is good for if you want to cast a spell that you have not
|drawn before. There is a high possibility for you to draw question
|marks from enemies.

## ITEM ##
Allows you to use items such as Potions, Phoenix Downs when engaged in
combat. This are pretty handy when your character is unable to use
magic [e.g. being silenced]

++ ITEM MENU ++
Items apparently are one of the most important factors in FF8. They
will help you to restore HP, cure status disorder and helps in battles.


This will enable you to use the items directly from the item menu.
Only healing items such as Potions can be used from here. You can also
view books, operate to fight the Diabolo from here!


Allows you to arrange the items in your preferred way. Doing this
will be much convience while in searching for the items that you
wished to use.


This will cause the computer to arrange the items. Useable and
important ones will be the top at the menu, while those unuseable ones
will be arranged at the lower section.


++ MAGIC MENU ++

Magic apparently is an important factor in battles. Magic does decent
amount of damage and some does massive amount of damage to a group of
enemies, e.g. the Ultima Magic.


Allows you to use magic from the menu directly. NOTE: You can use
attacking magic such as Bolt, Fire, Ice, etc. You can only use all
healing magic except for Regen.


|Allows you to trade magic even a particular member is not currently in
|your present party. There are a total of 3 commands from this section
|
|----[Hand over all]
|Gives all the amount of a particualr magic from an existing character
|to the selected character in the lower row. Firstly select your
|character and then select the magic spell you want to trade and then
|select the character you want to give to and select the space where
|you want to put the magic [All the amount of the current magic will be
|given to the other character, e.g. If Squall has 3 Heal magic and you
|trade Heal with Quistis, Quistis will have all the 3 Heal magic]
|
|----[Receive All]
|Gives the top character to recieve the amount of a particular spell
|from the character at the bottom row. E.g. Squall is the top character,
|and Quistis is the lower character. Select Quistis and the spell you
|want to trade to Squall. Squall will have all the selected spell that
|Quistis originally has.
|
|----[Divide]
A better command. This option allows you to specify the number of magic
that each of the character will recieve. The character must already
has that spell in his/her own inventory.


Allows the the above character to recieve all the magic from the bottom
character. Very useful if you want to transfer all the spells from a
character whom isn't in your party to the other character.


A very common command used in arranging placing your magic in order for
easy access and convience during combat.

++ Status Menu ++

This menu allows you to view the various abilities of your characters.
Press the Circe button to open the Status Window. You can switch your
characters with L1 or R1 buttons.



This allows you to get to know your character's basic abilities points
like your character's name, level, current HP vs its Maximum HP, the
amount of EXP your character has gained, the experience points needed
to reach the next level, attribrutes, the weapon that they are
currently equipped with and the ability that they have accquired.


This allows you to view the character's resistence against elements
such as Poison and Ice. It also allows you to view their resistence
against magic that causes status disorder such as Sleepel and Blind.

ELEMENTAL RESISTENCE

currently possessed.


This allows you to change the names of your special skills and set the
auto-function.
1. Special
For the case of Squall, you have trigger into the box, you will
receive the amount of hits from 0 to perfect. If Squall has more
than one hit, he will then perform his special move. For Zell, you
have to input keys to inflict more damage to your enemy. If you
want the input to be doen automatically, move the cursor to ON,
and decide with the Circle button.


++ Guardian Force Menu ++

G.F. stands for Guardian Forces. Guardians are just the summoned
monsters from FF7 and FFT [Final Fantasy Tactics]. They possesses
powerful and devastating magic. Use them wisely. There is a difference
between FF7 and FF8 is that now summoning a guardian will requires
time as a blue bar will overleap your present time bar and the HP of
the Guardian will be covering the character's HP. Last of all,
summoning a monster does not required to use MP anymore ! Select your
monsters and this will lead to the Learn sub-menu.


|As you battles, you will gain AP which is mentioned in Part II. AP is
|similar to FFT's job points which allows you gain when the job is
|being completed. Guardians also gain EXP to level up and AP to gain
|new abilities. In this screen, you will be given a lot of list, which
|the G.F. required to learn and how much AP is needed.
|--- [Junction]{J}
| Allows spells to be selected through the Junction and Magic menu.

| magic you have, the greater your character's stats will increase.

can be gained by having your G.F. to learn the skills. At the
beginning, this option is useable. More information until I have
played further.

World Map. This option is avalible after Rinoa has joined you. Just
select a party member at the stock and choose the character that you

** Starting FMV Sequence **
Squall's lover, Rinoa waiting eagerly for him, is surrounded by cherry

Squall is lying unconsicious at the infirmary when he was inspected by
a doctor [Dr. Kadowaki]. The doctor will ask Squall whether he is
alright or not, pick any one for Squall's reply and you will be given
a chance to name your character. After a short converstation, you have
another FMV sequence..

Squall sighs and lying back on the bed. A girl dressed in blue, peeped
into Squall's room and followed a lady wearing a pair of spectacles,

received the award from Cid at the ceremony. Choose the Tutuorial

***********************************************************************

Now exit the classroom. At the walkway, head south and Squall will
knocked into a girl and you will given two options, pick the 1st one
and after some chit chat, you will given another 2 options, pick the
1st one if you will to know well the structure layout of the building
OR the 2nd option will results the girl leaving you. Squall will show
the girl around the school and thus head for left where you can get to
the elevator. There is a man dressed in yellow, talk to him and you
will given 7 cards and instructions. Now you can played cards with your
classmates, by going up to them and press the Square button. Now head
inside the elevator. The elevator will take you to the 1st storey of
the building and there is a short sequence where Squall will explains
to the girl about the locations and their purpose. If you don't
understand what they are talking about, read the following:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
SeeD Academy: Garden 1st Floor
--------------------------------
This is the layout of the 1st floor of the school. It is arranged in
a hexagon shaped with passages leading to different compartments.
Here is the Legend:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
KEY MEANING
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
E Stands for the elevator.
L Stands for the lobby.
[n] Stands for the comparments
/ Stands for paths

Okay, let's get started. Counting in a clockwise direction:

1. Dormitory: You can changed your clothes here or sleep
[to recover lost HP] when needed. There are
three players there after you have completed
the fight against the Ifrit [Grey]

2. Parking Lot: The place where you parked the vehicles [Yellow].

3. Training Center: It's a huge jungle with huge rocks, pipes. The
first time, you have entered you will find two
doors. There is a Save Point found here.
[Green] There is a Magic Stone found here.

4. Library: The place for bookworms. There is a female
player whom has very powerful cards. There is
a Magic Stone located in between the bookshelves
You have to examine the bookshelf to find the
Magic Stone, the man looking at the bookshelf
is also another card player. [Blue]

5. Central Gate: The entrance of SeeD school. It does not lead

Familiarize yourself with the layout of the school. Here is a question.

** QUESTION NO. 1 *****************************************************
Q: How do I save my game ?
A: Get to a Save Point and choose the bottom most option from your
menu. You can only save your game at a Save Point or at the World
Map.
***********************************************************************

There is a Save Point at the lobby, that's located in front of the
elevator [note that the design of the Save Point is different from
those in FF7]. Now just head for the Central Gate and just simply hold
forward at the red gate and Squall will knocked open the gate. There
you will reach the garden that's located in front of the school.
There is another player somewhere around here. Now head outside the
school gate and you will meet a girl dressed in orange, that's Quistis
and she will join you. Now you exit out of Garden and now at the World
Map. Now at the World Map, there is a very obvious difference between
FF8 and FF7, that's the structures appeared much bigger that the marker
[Squall]. Make your way towards right, not following the path. Just cut
through the forest and you will find a cave located at the east.

** Question No. 2 *****************************************************
Q. How do I use Magic Stones ?
A. This is really simple. Firstly you must have equipped G.F and the
command "Draw". Next approach a Magic Stone, press Circle and you
will given two to four options [the number depends on the number
you have in the party]. The first option does not drain the Magic
Stone. Other options are the names of your characters. Simply
select the person whom you want and if you check at the Magic sub-
menu, you will find gained spells there.
***********************************************************************

=== I M P O R T A N T =================================================
For those whom have not played FF7, here is some information about the
World Map:
1. You WILL encounter random battles whether in forests or grasslands.
2. You can enter structures such as caves, building by moving towards
them.
3. You can save anywhere while on the World Map.
=======================================================================
Now proceed to the next Section.

3.1 T H E C A V E O F F I R E
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

As you reached the cave, Quistis will ask you a question, choose the
1st option to avoid repeating it. As you have reached the cave, you
will meet 2 guards wearing yellow caps. Talk to them and you will be
given two options, pick the 1st option and Next, they will give you
the time limit, pick 40 mins [fourth] and now you will be able to
enter the cave. Inside the cave, you find Squall's teacher Quistis,
rather a nuisance. She keeps on braging about her ability. The cave is
a straight forward. Just walk along the path and simply walk up with
the path start to split into three. Take the right path and absorb
some magic from the magic stone. There you find a fire pit. After some
chit-chat, you will have to fight the first BOSS, Ifrit.

NOTE: The time goes on whether you are talking or during battles. The
time will only stops when you are at the main menu. You must
defeat the Ifrit and head back to the entrance when the time
that you have selected.

-----Strategy-----
==================
Make full use of your Guardian Monsters, [Quetzalcoatl and Shiva] to
fight the BOSS and the battle should be pretty easy. Use Potions to
heal and use Phoenix Down to resurrects dead members. Note that the
time stills goes on as you fight in battles. Defeat the Ifrit and
you will be able to summon it for battles! Ifrit is weak against
Shiva and Ice magic. Time still goes on during the battle.

PS: The level of BOSS and monsters will be different as they will
higher levels if you used the gameshark codes ! [MAX EXP and MAX
HP codes]. The levels will differ it depends on Squall's level.

#####################################################################

After defeating the BOSS, head for the exit and the guards at the
entrance will praise you for doing a great job in defeating the
Ifrit. Now head back to Garden. You will need to face the Final SeeD
Exam.

PS: From now onwards, you can back to the Fire Cave anytime you
wished as there is no more time limit.

3.2 Z E L L J O I N S I N !
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Return back to Garden and at the gate, Quistis will leave your party.
Next she will tell you to meet her in the lobby. She will tell you
to change into the SeeD uniform. So head for the Dormitory. At the
Dormitory, head for the bed and position Squall next to the bed and
press the Action Button and choose the 2nd option. At the Lobby, you
will recruit a new partner, Zell Dincht.

** FMV **
Zell will come here and displays some of his karate skills, by doing
a couple of somersaults and he will approach towards both of you and
Quistis

Notice Squall is rather cold-blooded as he just simply give Zell a cold
shoulder. Zell also rather dislike Seifer and comment to Squall about
their mutual hare for Seifer. However, Quistis give him a piece of
surprising news that is the leader for this mission is other than
Seifer. Seifer comes along with his pals, Fuujin and Raijin. Seifer is
rather unfriendly and rude too for he is a problem child. Just as Zell
wants to fight Seifer for calling him a chicken punk, the princpal of
Garden shows up, his name is Cid. Cid will briefly tell them their
mission. After the little chit-chat, Siefer and his company plus Zell
leave the lobby and head for the parking lot and you will get into a
vehicle. Just simply walk away from the lobby and you will ended up in
the vechicle.
In the vehicle, enjoys some conversation between the three. Zell keep
on talking non-stop, rather irritating. Squall does not respond, making
Zell rather angry and gets up doing some punches but Seifer tells him
to sit down and shut up. Now you will be able to control the vehicle.
Well, here are the controls:

.......................................................................

CONTROLS OF VEHICLES IN FF8
---------------------------

Square: Moves your vehicle forwards.
X: Moves your vehicle backwards.
Circle: Get in/ Get Out of vehicle.
R2: Changes the camera view.
Select: World Map [Spot view, Side map, enlarged World Map]

.......................................................................

3.3 R E C O V E R I N G D O L L E T C I T Y
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Just simply drive your vehicle to the port. And you will have to enter
the sub-like boat. Just as everyone move off, head up the stairs and
enter the sub-boat. Inside the boat, you will given a talk by a lady
named Sue whom will brief you about your mission.

SCOOP: For the past 72 hours, Dollet City has been underattacked by
the Galvadian army. After 49 hours from outbreak of the war,
the city of Dollet has been evacuated. At present, the people
are hurrying to take refuge at the outlying of mountinous
areas. The troop will disembark from Kubutan Beach. Ask to
eliminate any enemy soldiers. Asked to pentrate through the
city and eliminate any enemy troops.
AIM: To wipe out any remaining enemy soldiers. Keep them from
activating the communications system.

After the briefing, Sue leaves. Squall decide to do something, that's
is talk to who ? You will be given 4 options.
- Talk to Quistis
- Talk to Seifer
- Talk to Zell
- nothing

After this, enjoyed some humerous jokes in the conversation between
Zell abd Seifer. After another short chit-chat, head outside and you
will enjoy an FMV feast.

** FMV **
A globe with several sub boats following through the south-eastern
terrain. Squall is looking at the map and look at the island. Now time
for some gun-firing scenes and your party will landed at the Kubutan
Beach. ** Start of Demo **

<<>>: This secttion provides the walkthrough for the Demo Disc.

Once arrived on the beach, just follow Seifer. You will take control
of Squall, Zell and Seifer. Now exit from the area and you will fight 2
Galvadian soldiers, each of them armed with swords. These two are not
rather tough, just throw in what you got. Draw magic from them and save
it for later use. There is a high possibility, you will encounter
random battles, so be on your guard. Continue following Seifer and you
will encounter another 2 Galvadian soldiers. Continue following Seifer
until you have reached the town. And at the upper right hand corner,
you will meet another Galvadian Soldier [it's somewhere near the car]
Next talk to Seifer, wait for while and Seifer will comment that the
mission is rather bored. Talk to Zell whom is pacing around and after
a while, Seifer irritates the dog and the dog starts to bark. 6
Galvadian soldiers marches towards left and Seifer will chase after
them, so follow him. Next you will cross a bridge and keep on heading
left. You will encounter random battles rather frequently. There you
have finally caught up with Seifer. Talk to the wounded Galvadian
soldiers. As you talk to the person whom is at the stairs, beware as
you are going to fight a sub-BOSS, a huge snake type creature.

This BOSS isn't really tough. You can draw healing magic from this guy.
Just use your G.F monsters to toast the BOSS. Beware of the Poison
Breath as it does a massive amount of damage. Do not use Poison on the
BOSS.

NOTE: This BOSS looks quite alike to FF7's Midgar Zolom, so
powerful! The only difference is the tail !

######################################################################

Continue up the stairs and head for the Radio Tower. There you will see
your teammates hiding and stay under cover. You will watch a short
conversation between the two guards. So soon as Seifer leaves, you
enjoy an FMV sequence:

** FMV **
A girl comes forwards and start to fall down from the steep slope.
The girl also winks at you.

The girl's name is Selphie and she is formerly a member of Squad A and
You along with Seifer and Zell are in Squad B. She jump off the cliff
and start jumping and smiling. Follow her suit proceed near the cliff
and choose the first option. And she will then joined your party. Next
the scene was transfered to the conversation between Wedge and Biggs.
Now head inside the tower, equip Guardians for the three each and
touch the magic stones [purple in colour] and transfered into useable
magic. There is a Save Point located near the elevator. So head and
take the elevator, choosing option 1. At the top of tower, you will
have another FMV feast:

** FMV **
The ground starts to tremeble and a sponge fall down from the trap
door. The ground has shaken so greatly that Squall could stand still.
There you will see the operations of the Radio Tower. Oh no! they have
activated the communications.

Squall approaches Biggs and stopped by Seifer and you will need to
fight Biggs.

==================

You firstly face Biggs and just simply attack him with attacks and
magic. As he was seriously wounded in the process, he will call for
Wedge. Just keep on focus your attacks on Biggs and defeat him will
cause both of them being attacked by the Elviole. This BOSS could be an
an headache. Uses your G.F. monsters and magic to deal out massive
punishment. Drain some magic from the BOSS and use in your own
advantage and also use your Desperation moves when needed. Use
Potions /Heal to restore lost HP and Phoenix Down to ressurect dead
members. If you draw from the Elviole, you can summon the G.F. monster,
Siren. [that will be the fourth option and could only be drawn once]

PS: I have replayed the game over and over again and found out that
you need to just to defeat either Biggs or Wedge and Elviole will
automatically appear.

#######################################################################

As you have finished the BOSS, you will have a short conversation.
Seifer will leave and now you will have 30 minutes to head back to the
sub-boat. So head to the elevator and press Circle and choose option 1.
As you head down, you will have a scene of Biggs summoning a robotic
beast to attack. Back at the ground floor of the tower, save your game
and use Potions /Heal to restore health. Exit. There you will
encounter a giant crab!

==================

==================

The BOSS' greatest weakness is Lightning. Use Quetzalcoatl and Bolt
Magic to dish out damage. Once the BOSS is down, press R2 and L2 to
escape. You may have to fight this BOSS about five times.

######################################################################

Simply make your way out back to the beach where your sub-boat was.
You have only 30 minutes to do so. Just run everytime you have defeat
the BOSS. There is an FMV sequence of the BOSS squashing the car. Just
make you until you saw this FMV.

** FMV **
X-ATM092 scramble down the streets of Dollet. It has knocked open the
building. Squall fall down on the ground and quickly gets up and head
for the sub-boat. Squall is running as fast as he could and attempts
to jump across to the sub-boat. At this moment, Quistis pumped the
BOSS with the gun. Whew! The sub-boat was safe and the BOSS has
reduced to a heap of waste metal ! **End of Demo**

Now you are safe and sound. Back at the harbour, Seifer returns back to
his normal self. His pals will come to the habour and congrats him for
the victory. Quistis will congratulates all of you for doing a great
job. However, Seifer and his company, just enter the vehicle, leaving
you all back at the harbour. Now you have to walk back to Garden.
Exit the area and you will be at a winding path and there is a inn.
Pay 100 gil to stay in the inn [will automatically recovers all your
lost HP]. If you want to save your game, just go up the stairs and use
the save point found at the corner of the room. Rest as you must be
tired and has lost quite a lot of HP [pick the first option]. Head left
and you will enter an area. There is a Magic Stone here, draw some
magic. If you talk to the man sitting on the bench, you will find that
he is rather familar to Zell. There is a total of three houses here.

1st House> [on the left]: Weapon Upgrading Shop.
2nd House> [on the right]: Zell's house. You cannot enter his bedroom!
3rd House> [on the right, next to Zell's house]: There are a lady and
a man talking about something.

After done browsing the town, head up the street and you will reach
the Gas Station. There you can rent a vehicle for 3,500 gil ! Pick
first or second to rent a vehicle OR pick the third to quit. The first
option will result renting a blue-green vehicle while the second option
will result renting a brown-black vehicle.

In your "vehicle", head back to Garden. If you have a vehicle, press
Circle to unboard and enter the Garden. At the front gate, your
teamates will leave. Try to walk on the path as this will reduce the
encounter rate !

3.4 F A L L I N G I N L O V E
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Return back to the lobby and you will meet Quistis, Cid and Sue.
Selphie has passed the SeeD test ! Talk to Cid and he will speak for
a short while. Next head right and you will see Seifer at the entrance
path leading to the library. Talk to him and do you noticed Seifer's
expressions. He is rather fed up. You want to know why? Then here
comes an answer from the principal and he tells Seifer that he failed
his SeeD test as he does things on his own. Seifer blew out his temper.
Now head for the elevator and board it to the 2nd floor. Notice that
the person whom have given you the cards has left. Now talk to
everyone. Notice that Zell is walking back and forth, he is rather
nervous about his results. There, a teacher will come up and talk to
you all. Announcing those whom has passed the SeeD test.... Zell ! and
Squall ! The others in that area has failed the test, watch their
expressions. The screen will then proceed to the awards ceremony. On
4 Garden Cadets has passed the SeeD test. Talk to Cid and he will
give you an item, not sure what the item is meant for. Then you will
be shown your SeeD ranking and from now onwards you do the test at
any time of the game.

Now exit the area, once you take control over Squall. Head back the
second floor where you have meet Seifer's pals, Fuujin and Raijin. To
your surprise, they have clapped for those whom have passed the test.
Now you will back at the Dormitary. Go to the bed and press the
Circle button and choose the 2nd option and Squall will change into
his graduation suit. Talk to Selphie and leave. You may wished to use
the Save Point. Now you will be at the dancing ballroom. There Zell
will approach Squall to try to talk to Squall, after he had left,
followed by Selphie. Now Squall will catch a glimpse of a girl
dressed in yellow [remember the girl in the opening FMV sequence ?].
This is followed by a awesome FMV:

** FMV **
Squall looks at the transperent celling. A shooting star passed through
the night sky. Squall will then meet Rinoa [dressed in yellow]. Fall in
love at the first sight... Then Rinoa approaches Squall and talks for a
while...
Squall was invited to dance with her. There you will see the
personality of Squall, he doesn't quite like dancing as shown in the
FMV. The dance will stop after the area has become darker and the
fireworks appears.. Next Rinoa notices her friend, bid farewell and
leave Squall...

There, the scene switches to the balcony where Squall will have a
short conversation with Quistis. Quistis will tell you to change back
to your clothes and meet her at the hall of the Training Center. Now
head up and enter the door on the left...

At the training center.....
Most of the time, you will encounter plant-type monsters and
occasionally, you will battle the T-rex. If you encounter one, I
suggest that you ran away [Press R2 + L2]. The T-Rex has about
10,000+ HP !

From that area, you will find red pipes and material used for
building. Head north.. In this area, there is a Save Point and a path
leads that leads to the celling of the training center. There is a
short conversation and they will both view the building of Garden from
here. It seems that they are talking about Quistis' past. After the
conversation has ended, head right and absorb the Magic Stone located
near the river. Head right and cross the bridge. Now head south and you
see a girl being held captive by a huge dragonfly ! [remember the girl
that peeped into infirmary at the beginning ?]. Squall draws his sword
and start to attack on the BOSS.

This BOSS isn't that tough as those Raid whom will not attacked you
when the main BOSS is around. The BOSS is pretty weak in physical
attacks. Just use the magic that you have already drawn from the
monsters. Note that the BOSS can make of the Raid and use as it's
weapon. Make full use of the Guardian Monsters and Magic to deal the
BOSS a deadly blow. Cast Heal or use Potions to restore lost HP.
You will get 14 AP when you defeat all three. The battle will only end
when all of them were killed.

NOTE: This BOSS looks quite identical to those in the Ancient Temple,
where you have been knocked down by the clock's hand to get
Cloud's weapon, the Nail Bat.

######################################################################

After the battle, the girl is accompanyed by two SeeD soldiers [?]
Now exit from the area and Quistis will tell Squall to meet the
Principal and others at the Central Gate, next morning. Hey ! Do you
know that now is night time. Head back to the Dormitary and you
will find Zell along the way. Back at the Dormitory, you will find
the layout has changed. Head near the bed and Squall will have a night
sleep, still can't get over the dance with Rinoa....

PS: You can get a copy of Weapon Upgrading Guide from the desk located
at the Dormitory.

3.5 A N O T H E R M I S S I O N !
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Make your way to the Central Gate with Squall is awaken, save your
game if necessary. At the central gate, push open the red panel and
you will see Cid along with the Garden Faculty and Selphie. Talk to
Cid and you will see Zell skating on his air-board. Notice that
everyone has changed into their own personal clothes. There Cid will
simply brief your mission. Now again you will be accompanied by both
Selphie and Zell. Speaking of devil, here comes Zell in his cool
air-board, however skating in front gate is not allow in Garden. Zell's
air-board is confiscated in the process. Now once you control Squall,
try to exit the area and Cid will give you the Magic Lantern that
summons a G.F. Monster, the Diablo. The BOSS is rather tough. Wait
until you get two more G.F. Monsters. Exit from Garden and you are
back on the World Map. You will just rent a vehicle, you will find
your vehicle at the location where you have parked. You can enter the
Dock using the car too. If you don't have, walk towards the Balmanb
Dock. As you arrived at the Dock, head south from the Gas Station.
Now walk down and make a left turn, there you will meet Zell's close
friend. Next, walk left and you will reach the train station. There
is a shop situated at the right side of the station, which sells items.
After this, talk to the man at the station and pay him 3,000 gil to
enter the train.

Inside the train.....
There is a Save Point inside the train. Next Zell will talk to Squall
and Selphie. They will leave the room. Follow the suit. Talk to Zell
and he will enter the room on the left. Selphie will remains at the
walkway of the train. Now head inside the room and talk to Zell whom is
on the crounch. Move towards Zell and pick any option. Then Selphie
will enter the room, looking unwell. Suddenly, Selphie passes out, so
is Zell. Squall tries to approach them, but suddenly fall unconsicious,
lying on the ground and the screen fades.... No no! this isn't the
headaches which Cloud of FF7 has regularly has!

Now the mission has switches it's focus to Laguna and his company.
The guy with long hair is Laguna Loire. The massive one is Ward Zaback.
He is armed with a powerful Harpoon. Kiros Seagul is the other guy. He
carries two long swords. Pretty cool huh?

NOTE: At this moment of time, they will be able to access your G.F.
Cards, Monsters, Magic. Laguna will have all Squall's commands that you
have equipped. Ward will have all Zell's commands that you have
equipped while Kiros will have all the commands that you have equipped
on Selphie. They will also be able to fight the Diablo that has been
trapped inside the Magic Lantern, given by Cid. In this section, you
will encounter random battles in the grasslands.

The path is rather straightforward. Just simply walk along the track
and head northeast. The path is surrounded by a high grasslands. There
is a Magic stone found along the path. Now head up and you will see
a lot of speech bubbles at a time. Make an anticlockwise turn and you

Zell and Selphie will awake, leaving Squall lying on the ground. You
will once gained control of your former part. You will eventually get
off the train at the small train station. [Timber Station, I think, the
wording is a bit too tough to read !] There is a booth where will tell
you something [not quite sure about it's purpose]. In front of the pet
shop, there is a guy blocking the entrance. Head down to exit from the
area. There you will see a guy, whom is rather careless, almost got hit
by the train, applies to first option. Next the man will invite you to
get onto the train.

Inside the train. There is one guy whom will usually puke at one
corner. Your party will stay there for a while. There are two other
guys. One of them dressed in blue while the other is wearing a yellow
cap. The punky guy in blue shirt will usually have a stomachache and
puke at a corner. Go up the stairs on the extreme right. There is a Save
Point at the left hand side of the train. I suggest that you use it.
Now exit from the area and continue to head up and until you reached a
highly-polished cabin. Inside the room, is the person whom has danced
with Squall at the Graduation Party. The moment she notices Squall, She
hugs Squall and will have a brief chat. She will tell her name, Rinoa.
Her dog will enter the cabin later and you can name her dog. Once she
has left the room, head back to the cabin where your party was.
Everyone will have a short chit-chat. Next you will be led to a room,
which has the diagram of the tunnel. You're planning to attack the
President whom is on board on the other train. There you will have a
sequence of the process showing how the trains are connected.
Here is a brief description of the sequence:

PS: The name of Rinoa's dog is called Angelo. This also taken from
Heero Yuy's FAQ

Firstly Squall will set up the device vertically onto the train. Rinoa
will tell you the code. The code panel is shown on the top right-hand
corner. You have to enter the number shown on the panel. For example:
Let's says if the code to input is 1333, press Triangle, Square,
Square, Square. You will be automatically be caught if you was spotted
by the patrolling Galbadian soldiers. For the first train carriage, you
have to input 3 codes within the given time limit. The codes may not be
put continuously. Note that you can can't move while inputing codes on
the panel. If a soldier is coming forward, press Up and Squall will be

Option and the screen will fade.....

Now you were in the carriage where the President was. Rinoa approaches
the President but the structure of the President is rather uneasy,
that's right you have to fight him and the monster that he transform
into later in the battle.

==================
-----Strategy-----

Just dealt 400+ HP on Deling and it will changed to a huge ugly and
dirty monster. Just use fire-based attacks and your G.F. Use Heal or
items such as Hi-Potions and Potion to restore lost HP. Next add
more fire. The flood breath ocasionally will cause Sadness, use Cure
to remove this status aliments.

Alternate ways:

The President is undead, use Heal on the BOSS and use Double to
increase the damage by half (about 500+ HP). This was sent by Patrick
Han. There is also any way to defeat the BOSS, it can be killed
instantly by a Phoenix Down.

PS: The President is fake, thanks a lot Heero Yuy ! The monster that
he transformed into is called Utoku.

#######################################################################

As you have defeat the BOSS, you will back at the place where you will
shown the train diagram. The punky haired guy will squat down and
puke. Now talk to Rinoa whom is squating along with the other two.

piece of paper seems has written a massage to Squall and his pals. The
punky man will have another stomachache and you will talk to head for

This is a special town as you have to battle against Galbadian
soldiers within the town.

Once you have reached the station, get off from the train and received

Now head down and exit from the screen. There is a Weapon Shop on the
extreme top-left hand corner and the Timber Hotel. Inside the Timber
Hotel. There is a room that's simply out of bounds. There is a player
[the little girl near the signboard] found here. Walk south to exit
from this area.

In this area, you find some Galbadian soldiers threatening the guards
at the gate, walk south and confront with them and beware, you will

frequently appears in the opening FMV]. She will talk out with Seifer,
causing him to drop the President and leave with her. Quistis was
injured in the process too. Squall and his party will enter the place
and Rinoa is back too. Now you have to follow both Quistis and Rinoa.
Remember the house next to Timber Maniacs ?, so head there and you will

Rinoa is coming forward too, looks under the control of Edea.

Edea talks for a while. Delievers a magic blow on the President,
causing the President lying on the ground. Squall and Irwine spotted
Rinoa. Squall thinks why Rinoa's up there !? Edea proceed to the
hall and raises her hand, summoning monsters!

** FMV **
A statue of Lizard-Lion structure suddenly turns alive, forcing its
way out of the city, causing chaos and thus attack Rinoa whom was
awakened !

Squall will talk to Irwine and the screen switches back to Quistis
and her company. Now you have to find a way to get so that you can
help Squall and Irvine...

Look closely on the painting on the right. It's a statue of girl
holding a glass. On the extreme top-left hand corner is also a statue
of a girl. So to make it the same, get a glass from the cabinet next
to the statue and press Circle to place it on the statue. It will then
reveal a trap door! Enter the trap door and head down to the basement.
There is a Save Point. To climb items such as ladders, press Circle and
up and down to move.

Now go down through the ladder and onto the wooden platform next to
the gear and press Circle, Quistis and her company will be able to
reach the other side of the basement. Head up and you will have
another FMV sequence...

** FMV **
Squall and Irvine will view the opening of the gate.. there you will
see dancers performing and crowd watching. Next there will enter a
huge vehicle with Edea on a chair and Seifer is there too ! Seifer
has also a scar, same as Squall !

Now you will be able to move during intervals. Just follow Irvine.
and seek into the building. Equip Irvine with G.F. as everything
will be reset. Now, climb up the crates, following Rinoa's suit. Use
the Save Point if needed. Now after you have climb onto the celling, try
to move Squall towards the edge of the main building. Head for the
door! You will find the President lying on the ground. In the next
area, you will find a hatch located on the right of the red carpet.
Ignore and head down. There you will see the unarmed Rinoa being
attacked by those two lizard-lion type monsters and you will have to
fight them !

==================

At this time, you can only have Squall and Irvine in your party. Use
Guardians if necessary. If low on HP, draw some healing spells and
this should not be tough. Beware of the BOSS' Acid Breath as it could
turn one of your members into stone. To counter with that status
disorder, use Cure which can be drawn from the BOSS. Remember to draw
Carbunkle from them ! Note that you can only draw once.

#######################################################################

After defeating the BOSS, Squall will try to help Rinoa. Notice that
there is something wrong with Rinoa ? Exit from this area and head for
the hatch, examine it and you will reach the destination which the
Colonel tell you to head to. Now examine the rifle that's on the left
of entrance and you will have a short event. Now switches back to
Quistis and company....

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This section is tough. I have lost my way quite a few times. Writting
a precise guide will make you more confused. So I will try to give out
the hints to this section:
1. Monsters in this section are rather tough and mean. When you
encounter a huge spider-like creature, run away from it as it will
take ages to defeat it.
2. Note that you can walk across gears, by examining them, pressing
the Circle button.
3. There are only three Magic Stones found here.
4. You can open some of the doors in this section.
5. If you cannot proceed further, then you are on the wrong track.
6. The gears are turning in a certain direction either clockwise
nor anticlockwise. If you want to cross the gear from left to
right, find a gear moving clockwise.
7. There is a Weapon Upgrading Guide found here.

At the beginning of the path, you find that you can only walk along
the path on the left. Actually the destination is on the RIGHT side.
If you are trapped, there is no harm in examine any of those gears
which might lead you to the other area. At the end of the sewers, you
will find a Save Point. Climb up that ladder. Now you will reach an
area with a door. Press Circle at the ladder, pick the first option
and you will reach the area where you will find a small window. Zell
will look through and followed by a FMV.

** FMV **
Zell will receive a bird's eye view from this section. The numbers
has hit 20:00:00. Squall and his party whom were be at the elevated
building. Edea will be looking at it and the vehicle is passing
through the parade...

Now push the switch [looks like a telephone] and you will have
another FMV.

** FMV **
The circus which the Colonel has shown to you have risen. Squall
and company is there. Then suddenly the gate suddenly closed, locking
up both Seifer and Edea...

Squall will be talking to Irvine whom is aimming at Edea. Bang!
Irvine's shot is very accurate, but it was deflected by Edea's
powerful magic. Squall will say a few words and you will be shown the
menu. Equip all G.Fs on Squall, Rinoa and Irwine and it will be
followed by an FMV....

** FMV **
Squall releases his gunblade and jump off from the top of the building.
Attacking the Galbadian soldiers with some fancy swordplay, heading
for the vehicle. The city will be in chaos of course. Squall will drive
the vehicle at full speed, rushing the gate where Edea and Seifer
were...

Short talk between Edea, Seifer and Squall. Squall battles on
Seifer one on one... IT'S REVENGE TIME !

This BOSS is very tough. She has very damaging magic such as Fire 3

and use it for your own use. Use attack, special moves, G.F. Monsters
to dish out damage. Equip one of the party members with the ITEM as
their fourth command. There is an easy way of defeating her. Make sure
that your party is being healed to full health and then cast Carbunkle
on your entire party. Now all the magic spell will be reflect onto her.
Or she will waste her turns in casting Despell to break off the Reflect
status for each party member.

#######################################################################

** FMV **
Edea is seriously wounded. About to disappear, but she summons three
Ice crystals and throw it at your party. Rinoa turns around as she saw
Squall being hit by one of those. Squall lost his grip and fall from
the top of the building and Rinoa reaches for Squall.... Squall closes
his eyes.

This BOSS is rather tough if you have low levels. Gain in until you
have reached double-dights level so that you will be able to fight
him. The BOSS has a high tendency of using Demi magic before he start
to attack. His attacks are strong which does about 100+. Draw Heal
to use it to heal lost HP. Use G.F. to mince the BOSS ! For a quick
victory, use Demi which can be drawn from the BOSS and use it on it.

EASY DEFEATING G.F from John Paulo Marquez
Firstly you must have obtained the double magic spell (the one that
lets you to do magic in a turn) and Blind. As you begin the fight, cast
double magic to your characters and blind magic to the G.Fs. It may
requires some luck, which will result the BOSS from missing attacking
you. Refer to Part II for more details on Blind magic. The BOSS' Demi
All will never KILL your party even if your HP is at 10. Use your
Special moves and G.Fs you will be able to fry that guy in no time!

This battle could be pretty tough as you need a lot of Potions and Heal
spells in your stock. The commander has a high tendency of casting
invincibility on the robots. Deal with the commander as it could summon
a fire blast that does about 400+ HP damage. Draw Slow and use it on
the commander so that he will have less choice of heal his lost HP.
Beware of the rockets attack by the robots as it does about 300+ HP
damage to one member. Use G.F. Quetzalcoatl and Bolt on the robots and

the ladder, choose 1st option to go down. OBSERVE carefully, you find
a door with a blinking green light. Examine it and you will be able to
climb down the ladder. In the next area, you find a handle near the
Save Point. Have Squall pushed the handle and the metal gate will
eventually open. Now save your game, it's BOSS time as you cross the
bridge.

==================

This guys are very tough. They does about 200+ HP damage with their
Flood Mud. Grab and Bite also packs a punch. The best move to attack
the BOSS. That's is to make use of your G.F. Ifrit and Fire 1 ~ 3.
Use well on the BOSS. If you are low on HP, draw Heal 2 which will
restore about 1,000+. The Flood Mud will causes very high destructive
damage and sometimes causes Status disorder, counter this with Cure.

#######################################################################

Now enter the area, and down the ladder. This followed by another FMV
sequence:

** FMV **
Now the dead seeking missiles are coming fast. You will be able to
view the warhead of those missiles and these will fly past the sky at
a tremedous speed.

Now head left and you will be in front of a gigantic pillar, Now head
up, examining the right side and you will have a short sequence.
Suddenly the ground shakes, and electricity started to surround the
pillar. The pillar will raises, causing Squall and his company to
reach the 3rd floor where the Principal's office were. Next you will
have this awesome FMV:

** FMV **
That giant yellow hoop starts to cover Garden forming a protective
barrier. Just then several missiles attacked Garden. Fortunately that
Garden has already to start to take off and move away from the spot.

Talk to Cid and choose any option when given. Exit from the area.
take the elevator and go to the door on the north of the classroom.
You will then received another FMV feast !

** FMV **
You will have a beautiful scenery of Garden flying in air accompanied
by birds. If Rinoa is in your party, you will be able to view a scene
of her admiring nature's beauty.

Exit and head back to the elevator. A girl will come to tell you that
the principal is looking for you. Now press the controls and you will
have another FMV feast !

** FMV **
Garden moves slowly passing through the city of Balamb and head for
the sea. Rising of tides is viewed and Garden will eventually landed
on the sea. Garden starts to glide past the sea... Conversations are
throughout during this FMV.

Squall will be now at his bed. If Rinoa is in your party, she will
come and wake up Squall, saying that she want to visit Balamb Garden's
Cafeteria. If Zell is in your party, you will find him waiting for his
order. Just head for the lobby. A Garden Faculty will come to you and
tell you to head for the basement. Head for elevator. As you walk down
the stairs, you will be joined by your party members. There you will
see Cid being pushed by a rude Garden Faculty. Cid will leave and
head right. Next the ground will shakes and a sequence of a huge
monster revealed from that huge "egg". You will have a short event of
conversation and will eventually have to fight the Nogue, master of
Garden.

==================
-----Strategy-----
==================

This guy is rather tough. The Side Orbs can does mischief to your
party. They will change from Blue --> Yellow --> Red. Once they reached
the Red stage, they will cast powerful spells such as Ice 2. You change
them back to blue, by attacking them. Strong attacks will cause the
orbs to change back to blue directly. Siren works well on the three.
Before you could fight Nogue, you must break the middle orb. Once you
have destroyed the middle orb, you can now draw Leviathan from Nogue.
Nogue is pretty weak against Shiva. Use G.F. monsters to afflicit more
damage. Siren does damage to all parts of the BOSS. There is a risky
way of relfect the BOSS' magic. Use Carbunkle to reflect those pesky
spells back onto the BOSS. Note once you are in the Reflect status, you
can't use magic to heal yourselves as the magic will bounce onto the
BOSS. Make full use of Potions, Hi-Potions and Phoenix Downs to restore
lost HP. Use special moves when needed. Note that you can't reflect
Wind from the two side orbs.

#######################################################################

After the battle, head back to the elevator and head for the
Dormiditory to save your game. Next head for the Infirmary and talk to
Dr. Kadowaki and choose the 2nd option. Now talk to Cid and you will
given brief information within five options. Actually there are more
shocking news, that is Edea, the evil witch is actually CID'S WIFE !
If you head for the Training Center, you will find a man selling items
there at the wooden planks. After done with your "visit". Head for the
lobby and you will meet Sue. Next head up to second floor and head to
the door with a blinking red light. Now you will find a huge ship
docked near Garden. Next you will have a sequence and they are
actually SeeD cadets. Next Cid will come in and have a short talk.
Exit and you will have a sequence with your friends on the ledge. Now
head for the library. At the library, draw some magic from the magic
stone there. Enter the area where you find the desks. There you will
meet the girl whom you have previously saved at the Training Center
[it was that small girl whom have peeped into the Infirmary at the
beginning of the game and her name was Elone]. Now you will have a
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 will come to Squall and pick any
option. Now exit the Dorimitory. 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.

4.5 A R R I V A L A T F . H C I T Y . . .
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Thanks a lot 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 an 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 let go of the fishing
rod and get away from the area..

Now Squall will be at the controls with Cid. 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 finally that Garden got stuck in between
the ledges. 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 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 shirt. Now head down and you
will find a windmill being surrounded by water. Right from this area
is a Save Point and a Magic Stone. Now head to the windmill. Head up
to the second floor of the windmill and you will have another sequence
with the city mayor and his wife, I think. At the extreme right corner,
you will find a hidden Magic Stone. 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 Mayor's wife and
the Mayor 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 a man being threatened by a Galbadian Captian.
Pick the first option, Squall and his party will have a battle with
those Galbadian force. After the battle, the ground will suddenly
shakes and you will have to fight a similar BOSS at the enemy's base.

The BOSS' attacks may be deadly but it is pretty weak against G.F. such
as Quetzalcoatl, Leviathan, Brothers. 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.

#######################################################################

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 Magic Stone.

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 Magic Stone next to the
Blacksmith.

Now exit and head back to Garden. You will meet Irwine 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 Irwine. Now
Squall will be talk to Cid at the Controls room. Next the screen will
transfered 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, Irwine, 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 >>>>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B A L L E T : Requires Saxaphone, Electric guitar, Piano and Electric
Bass. This song is similar to Rinoa's theme.
F O L K : Guitar, Violin, Flute and Tap.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now after you have set the instruments, the concert can be done at
anything. Squall will awake. Next exit and you will have a sequence
between Irwine, 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 Irwine 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.

Here are the controls:

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

.......................................................................

4.6a T H E G A L B A D I A N A R E A T O U R
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Now head for the continent on the left of the World Map. You will find
that Far East Garden where you have recruit Irwine has turned into a
piece of flat land! You can draw some magic from a hidden Magic Stone
if you examine the middle of that piece of flat land. Now head for
Dollet.

=======================================================================
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.
***********************************************************************

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 Save Point 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.

=======================================================================
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. 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 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] before leaving the
building.

OTHERS.... They are quite tricky and dangerous.

=======================================================================
VILLAGE OF SHUMI TRIBE
=======================================================================
This section was taken for Steven Buck's Guardian Forces FAQ. This
section will describe on how to get the Phoenix Wing. I have followed
Steven Bucks' guidlines, but it's seems to me that it does not worked.

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 Magic Stone [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 Magic Stone. 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 magic stone behind the statue of
Laguna.

The following are taken from Steven Buck's FAQ:
-----------------------------------------------
You will be asked to find five stones, Blue, Wind, Life, Shadow and
Water stones. Here are the locations of each stone:
_______________________________________________________________________
|Blue Stone | In the room with the statue. It is on the back wall. |
|______________|_______________________________________________________|
|Wind Stone | Go to the first screen of the village. Search it and |
| | you will find the Wind Stone. |
|______________|_______________________________________________________|
|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. |
|______________|_______________________________________________________|
|Shadow Stone | Back to first screen where you find Ultima. Go to the |
| | right side and search behind the pillar that casts a |
| | shadow. |
|______________|_______________________________________________________|
|Water Stone | Go to Tsukurit's House and search by the sink and you |
| | find last stone. |
|______________|_______________________________________________________|

After recieving all five stones, next you will recieved the Phoenix
Wing. Use it in combat and it will summons the Phoenix!

========================================================================
Sentura 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.

BUG IN FF8?
Well, there is a bug in this Disc. 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.

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 Magic Stone. 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!

Well that's all for the Sentora Ruins and you will be back here later

========================================================================
RIDING CHOCOBOS GUIDE
========================================================================

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.

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. Refer to other FAQs for this information. By the way if you
have any information on the Pocketstation Mini-game, feel free to sent
it to me and credits will be given to you.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

4.7 Z E L L ' S H O M E T O W N I N T R O U B L E !
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Now head back to Balamb Town/Dock where you have find Zell's family. If
you are pretty observant enough, you will find that there is a huge
redship similar to the Garden. Land Garden somewhere near the beach/
shore. Enter the town.

The Town now has been infested by Galbadian soldiers. You will find
them sealing off the entrance of the hotel, the train station, the
roads of Balamb Town and the port. Now talk to the owner and the lady
at the entrance and then talk to the Galbadian soldier. Now repeat
talking them in that order and you will be able to allow to enter the
Dock. Zell will come in if he isn't in your party. You will be asked
to reform the party which Zell and Squall as compulsory characters.

Now talk to EVERYONE in the town before talking Zell's family. Next
head for Zell's house. You will be able to allow to enter the room.
Zell's room is nicely decorated. He has a great collections of rifles
which will causes Irwine to touch them. His air-board is next the
Save Point. Now you have a nap. Before leaving his room, you can
punched his punching bag, press the Circle button. Now head for the
dinning room [on the right]. Now you will be able to find Zell's family
which comprises of his mother and his two younger siblings. Talk to his
mum first and then to his brothers, repeating this twice. Then the one
that is dressed in yellow and jeans will head out of the town. Now you
will need to find him. Firstly, head for the house next to Zell house
and you will find the boy there. Next talk to the lady or the boy and
he will run away. Now head to the Gas Station and you find the boy
hiding under the tree next the vehicle which seal off the entrance.
Wait the boy's signal and talk to the guard SLOWLY, until you see the
boy has talked to the owner... Now head back and you will find him at
the street outside his house.

Before talking to the boy, you will find Zell's mother in the hall.
Talk to him, the first option allows you to re-organize and leave the
town. Do this and return back to the town and choose the second option.
Now head for the guards at the hotel and you will be prompted to answer
a question. Head for the Train station and you will find the guards has
fallen asleep. Now head for the Dock, up where you have first board the
sub-boat. You will find a Magic Stone which can be obtained by standing
in front of the ledge. Next talk to guards and the dog. The dog will
ran, follow it to the train station. You will find Raajin being chased
out in the process. Now purchased some Phoenix Downs which will be
needed for the next BOSS fight. Head back to Zell's house, you will
find her at the oven cooking food. Head up to Zell's room and save
your game. Now head for the hotel and you will have a sequence. Prepare

Bolt2 and use it on the Galbadian solider. Beware of Raajin's Spin Pole
attack as it does about 400+. Cast Barrier to reduce damage.

Raijin. This is due to his extreme high-attacking limit break, does
about 1,000+ HP damage. Fuujin could also does about 300+ damage with
her Dart Roll. To defeat Raijin, use Wind which can be drawn from
Fuujin. On the other hand, draw Bolt2 from Raajin and use it on Fuujin.
This is apparently making them killing each other. Use all G.Fs except
for Quetzalcoatl, due Raijin's Lightning nulifying ability. Next
remember to draw Pandamonium or it's is going to be lost forever.

as Earthquake [does about 600+ HP damage to all members] and Bolt 3
[600+ to one ally]. Use magic such as Fire 3 and Bolt 3, which can be
drawn from the enemies in the area where you find the ship. G.F is a
must and make sure none of your members has HP below 1,000+. Use G.Fs
except for Quetzalcoatl and Pandomium. After the battle, you will be
able to summon it for battles. Make sure your weapons are upgraded
as they will do more damage to the BOSS. After defeating him, you will
be able to summon him for battles!

#######################################################################

After the battle, remember to draw some magic from the Magic Stone

Now head west and enter the door on the left side of the walkway, talk

==================
-----Strategy-----
==================
Seifer finally has made a great improvement. 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... FINAL BATTLE OF DISC 2

After Seifer has been defeated, Edea stands up and left the area with
her disappearing technique.. Now use the Save Point and SAVE your game!

have to walk around it. Next examine the stand and you will have
another event... Edea will appear from the top! Seifer will come in

==================
-----Strategy-----
==================

This battle is quite tough. First of all, you can only fight
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 Cure from the BOSS to restore the status.
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 !

#######################################################################

Now you will view the scene of Seifer falling on the ground. Rinoa
will approach Seifer, showing some concern. Next Quistis will come in
if she isn't in your party. Edea will regain her consicious and she is
actually the "mama sensei" refered Squall and his party [except for
Rinoa]. Worst of there is another huge question mark, Edea all this
time, did not know what she has been doing all this while... SAVE
your game. Popped in Disc 3 and start playing !

=======================================================================
5. W A L K T H R O U G H F O R D I S C 3

At last, I have reached Disc 3 and continue with your adventure....

5.1 E D E A ' S A G O O D L A D Y ! ?
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Now Squall will be back lying on his bed in the Dorimitory. 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.

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.

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 a letter from Edea]. Next
enter the room located at the north and draw some magic from the magic
stone located there. 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 both them. Edea will tells 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
a result was forced in the process.. Edea thinks the only
solution is to prevent Elone from being captured by that evil
witch...

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.

5.2. S W I T C H I N G B A C K T O T H E P A S T
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

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 and 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.

==================
-----Strategy-----
==================

This guy is much tougher compared to the T-Rex. 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-
raising attacking power.

After defeating the BOSS, Laguna and his pals will be watching over the
evening sun, then the screen will fade... Next you will be back with
Laguna talking Edea ? Next you will be back to Squall and his party.

After completing Laguna's 4th Scenario. Head back to Edea's house. She
will tell you about the location of the White SeeD ship. Then she will
give you a letter. Next head northeast a bit and you will be able to
locate the ship, somewhere in Sentra 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.

ON THE SHIP...

As you entered the ship, you will meet 3 White SeeD cadets. At the
front of the ship, you will find a female SeeD girl and 2 kids. There

will have only the ATTACK command. Choose this option
and then choose option 2.
2nd Option: Fight them instantly.

You will fight more enemies [3 of them, 2 miners and a robot]. Now
head for elevator and you will find two research assistants. Head
up the stairs on the right QUIETLY (Laguna and his party does not
want to be discovered!) Next you will meet the man and the Mumba.
Next one of the assistants will come up. Now draw some magic from the
Magic Stone and save your game. Now return to the building. There you
can get the last version of the Weapon Upgrading Manual at the south-
left corner. Next head back to the elevator. Approaches Professor
Odain and you will have another battle against those guys.

After defeating them, follow him to the elevator and head right. Now
you find a pretty cool flying car [in the future?], next Laguna and
friends will enter the car. Now your aim to save Elone. You will now
be at the research center where Elone is being held captive. Walk up
and you have to fight more miners or Esthar Soldiers. Defeat them and
draw some magic from the magic stone on the top right hand corner.
Now head check the seat on the middle, it's actually a portable
elevator, pick the first option and you will reach the second floor.
Now examine the left side of the door and you will find another Magic
Stone. Now enter the door and fight two more Esthar Soldiers. After
defeating them examine the huge blue screen in front. Now you will
find young Elone there. Next examine those panels on the right under
a message box appears on the top. Now the door should be able to open,
head up the door and you will find Elone, following by an event....

5.6 E S T H A R : A H U G E C I T Y !
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Now it will be back to Squall and his teamates, the rest will there
too. Now you will have another short event. Guess who is coming, it's
Odain, the professor and he will invited Squall and his party into
a flying car. Talking during the journey to the huge city.

At the high-polished building, you will have a sequence. Talk to
everyone and head south, next you will be asked to head for the Luna's
Gate. Now exit the building and turn right. Board the elevator and you
will have an FMV of elevator going down, exit from this area.

Now in this huge city, you surely need a map for entering. So how
should we go. Elevators are very important, as walking for such long
distances can be tiring. The left path leads to the door where you find
soldiers guarding it.Head right and board the elevator and followed by
an FMV of the elevator moving into the city. Here is the map of city.

**Question No.5********************************************************
Q. 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 Magic Stones will appear
after you have defeated them. There are 4 kinds of aliens and they
are different in colour 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
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
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer

So let me coem 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

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. Head back to Ragnarok and enter the meeting room [the place
where you find the controls, marked "C"] There you will find Irwine,
and the rest except for Edea and Rinoa. After some conversation, you
find Selphie and Irwine moving out. Once you approaches Quistis, the
ground will 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.

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
2. Train Tunnel located in front of Galbadia City.
3. Train Tunnel located near Timber Town
4. Train Tunnel located near Balamb Town.

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.

Now finished up drawing up all the G.Fs, 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 Sonsei 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 three places where you can find more G.Fs.

there for battles against Tonberi. Stay there and do not walk up the
stairs!

GENERAL STATUS OF A TONBERI

|_______________|_________________________________________|_________|
| 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 | |
| | accquired high levels and the Alexandar | |

After the 20th Tonberi has been defeated, you will fight the King
Tonberi and it is the beginning of the BOSS fight!

==================
-----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 ^_^. I have forgot to write
the Draw list from this BOSS, if you have it, e-mail to me and credits
will be given to you.

#######################################################################

Well, you have finished the Sentora Ruins, time to head somewhere else.

2. Cactuar Island: Sabotander.
---------------------------------------------------------------------0
Identify Cactaur Island....
It is somewhere in south-east area on the World Map, located in
Sentura 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!

==================
-----STRATEGY-----
==================

The Sabotendar 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.

It would better if you have Life 2 and attained higher levels. It will
also be nice if you have accquired the Alexandar's Sonsei.

######################################################################

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.

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 Aero, high damaging spell against |
| Aero | 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 |
|________________|____________________________________________________|

After defeating the two of these, pick the third option [hidden] for
the last question, and you fight the Bahamut.

AP gained: 40

||||||||||||||| < HP > ||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||| STR DEF ||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||| INT SPI ||||||||||

==================
-----STRATEGY-----
==================

The BOSS is quite tough compared to other G.Fs except for Sabotendar.
It has very damaging attacks, a claw swipe that does 3,000+ HP damage
and a Tetra Flame that does 4000+ to all allies. Use the similar
method and use G.Fs except for Pandamonium and Queztalcoatl. Don't
brother to use Grashaboras as it does only 100+ to the BOSS. If your
level is 90 and above, well use Sabotendar and you will do 9,000 HP
damage to the BOSS everytime you summon the Sabotendar! Cast Barrier
to reduce the damage. If you have any strategies against this BOSS,
contact me. If it killed one of your members, just draw Life 2 and
dead member will be revived to full health!

#######################################################################

After defeating the Bahamut, you will recieved the card and the place
is 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.

I have quite a lot of trouble in this, thanks to Steven Bucks 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 Magic Stone
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.

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 Magic Stone
by the stairs.
3. At the winding path, you will find a Magic Stone hidden under a
blue glowing rock.

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!

Name: Ultimate Weapon Level 60 HP: ???????? [about 500,000]

==================
-----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],
Earthquake [1,000+ per member] and Meteor [2,000+ per member.]

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 Demi [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 move! If you have Barrier and Shield,
cast it on your party as it serves quite well for defensive purpose.
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.

IMPORTANT ABILITIES: Alexandar's Sonsei and Leviathan's Recovery.

#######################################################################

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 Tears Point
and has a Y-shape structure.

5.10. S A V I N G R I N O A
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

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 Save Point 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 from the future 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.

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 way. 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.

5.11 L U N A T I C P A N D O R A
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

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 consists of Zell, Squall and Rinoa. Attack!

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.

==================
-----STRATEGY-----
==================

Both Raijin and Fuujin are much stronger compared to the previous
fight. They have new spells and much powerful. Now 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.

#######################################################################

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!

This BOSS can be said the most tough guy in Disc 3 while at the
Pandora. 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 Heal 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 .

#######################################################################

Restore all your HP and prepared for Disc 3 final-showdown. Enter the
building and you will find Seifer on the top of the pillar, bragging
about his ability. Elone is being held captive by those two groupies,
Fuujin and Raijin. After some talk, they will leave and you will fight
Seifer. Prepared for the last battle with Seifer.

AP gained: 40

==================
-----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. ^_^

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.

If you have accquired Odin, you will see the last of him, being cut
into half by the "powerful" Seifer. After you have defeat Seifer, Odin
will no longer exists but has transformed into the Gilgmesh and
finished off 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 Altemisia is.... End of Disc 3.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Now you will regain control of your party, and form a new party. Next
head for the top floor of the Pandora. You will find another Magic
Stone if you have climb up the stairs. Now walk up that long pipe and
make a right turn. Next you will reach the place where you will find
Seifer holding Rinoa and facing the chamber where Altemisia is.
Now you will have this FMV:

** FMV **
Seifer will now be holding Rinoa as the gift for the evil queen,
Altemisia. Rinoa tries her best in breaking off the grip from Seifer,
but Seifer just pushes her onto the ground and next Altemisia
suddenly awakes and thus grab the helpless Rinoa... BOSS Fight!

==================
-----Strategy-----
==================

This battle is quite an easy one. Altemisia does not have high HP. Just
that she is quite cruel and crafty. She can drain HP from Rinoa [about
700+ HP each time.] She has a couple of strong spells such as the
Meteor. Do not use spells such as Ultima, Flare or Aero as these spells
does damage not only to Altemisia and Rinoa too. So it's a good reason
not to use G.Fs. Rinoa's stats depends on how much HP that you have
accquired or you can just junction 100 spells to boast up her HP. Also
a good idea to junction elementals like Fire, so that Rinoa can absorb
Fire and damage Altemisia when you summon the Ifrit at the same time.
So try to finish off Altemisia before she finishes off Rinoa!

#######################################################################

After the battle, both Laguna and Elone will come to you and you will
have another sequence. Elone will drove away the spirit of Altemisia
and thus bringing back her spirit. After a short chit chat, Laguna and
Elone will leave and you will have an FMV:

** FMV **
Time started to compress and thus forcing Squall and his party back
to time... Your party will start to fly in mid-air and just then they
will pass through the deep ocean. Next you will see a flock of birds
circling the tunnel of light and Squall will be brought back to time..

As you landed on ground, noticed that Rinoa has disappear! There you
will find a Save Point. Before approaching it, make sure that your
party are back to full health and touch the Save Point. Next a dozen
of them will appear. Now walk down the pathway to the door. Next the
screen will turn white and you find Edea [remember the time in Disc 1
when Rinoa meet Edea at the Presiden's Mansion.] Next you will find
Edea-like structures and split into two. It's BOSS fight between the
witch of different era. Now you need to fight about 11 of them before
you will fight the BOSS.

==================

Well as you battles, you will proceed to the next place. The first
eleven of them are easy except for the Final Witch. The place will
change each time, you have defeated a witch. They are quite easy, I
actually risked my battle in order to find the stats by using the
Leviathan's Recovery and found the stats, fortunately I managed to
defeat them by using Cerebrus and Meteor.

You will proceed in this order:
______________________________________________________________
| | |
| 1. President's Mansion | 6. Snowfield outside Travia |
| 2. Timber Town | 7. Outside Balamb Garden |
| 3. Beach of Balamb | 8. Inside Prison Tower |
| 4. Esthar City Area | 9. Cave of Fire |
| 5. Balamb Training Center | 10. WinHill Town |
|______________________________|_______________________________|

After eliminating all those disturbances, you will be transported to
an unkown place where you will meet the Final Witch. The Witch is
quite tough if your characters have very low HP. The BOSS has a
creepy touch which does 1,000+ which will bring low HP characters to
death easily. After you have injured the BOSS severely, it started to
have a countdown of 5, similar to the Jenova Sythesis last battle at
North Crater and it will cast Ultima on your members. Defeat the BOSS
and you will be back at Edea's house!

#######################################################################

At Edea's House, head for the place where you have meet Edea [just walk
up and turn right and enter the door on the north]. There you will have
a sequence and you will have a short FMV of the Castle of Eight Powers.
Now the area will switch to a screen with two bodies of dead White SeeD
cadets. Next head up and make a turn at the stairs, hope that you have
remember the path during the childhood [it's has blocked off by those
strings!]. Next you will find more death bodies and a Magic Stone there
and you will need to head up that huge chain. There were three doors on
the left of the path. Press Circle to jump on the ledge in front of the
doors.

THE DOORS TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD...
_______
| 1 | The door nearest to the Altemisia Castle.
_|___|_ The door leads to the north of Esthar Continent and you
will find the Chocobo Shrine here. The Chocobo shrine is
similar to the Chocobo forests you found at the World Map.
It's northwest from the door.

_______
| 2 | The door in the middle of the three doors.
_|___|_ The door leads to the Sentora Continent where you found the
Sentora Ruins. It is northwest from the Ruins.

_______
| 3 | The door nearest to Edea's house.
_|___|_ The door leads to the Galbadia area where you will find
the Missile Base. It is east from the Missile Base.
_______
| 4 | I will call this a hidden door as it leads to the place
_|___|_ where you find the Ragnarok [it's on the right side of the
chain]

FINDING RAGNAROK IN DISC 4.... contributed by Charles5.
_______________________________________________________________________
Just head for the Chocobo Shrine and get that free Chocobo. Now return
to the door where you have enter. Now walk down the shallow waters of
Esthar and head for the Sabontander Island. There you will find a huge
desert on the left of it. Well, the red dot is the Ragnarok. There you
will also find a door which leads to the right side of that huge chain.
The cities are now surrounded by barriers, except for the damaged
Missile base.

Inside the Ragnarok as you go down to the elevator you will find a man
which will give you the following options:

1. Buy Items
2. Upgrade your Weapons.

Next head up and you will reach the castle. Next you will find a Save
Point and Squall will spilt his team into 2 parties. One of the parties
will follow Squall and they will enter the place of their most horror
nightmare! Now as you enter you will be forced to seal all your
abilities except for attacks. Make sure that your characters has gained
enough HP. Now here are some rules for this area...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. You can only regain control of your abilities after you have
defeated the BOSSES [one BOSS allows you to unlock one ability].
Here is the list of abilities which will be sealed.
__________________________
| Name |
|_________________________|
| |
| * Item Command |
| * Magic Command |
| * G.F. Command |
| * Draw Command |
| * G.F's Ability (!) |
| * Limit Breaks |
| * Revive dead members |
| * Save |
|_________________________|

2. Within the castle, you will find Green Spots, they serve as party
switching icons. Just simply step in the spot and you will be given
the following options:

1. Switch to the other party
2. Change party members
3. Ignore
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

MAIN PARTY

You will find the monster at the main stairway. Note that you can only
use the attack command as other commands are being sealed off.

Attacks: Fire 3, False Life, Countdown to death, Charge

Draw: ????
AP gained: 31 AP

==================
-----Strategy-----
==================

This BOSS isn't quite tough. Just attack as your other commands are
being sealed off. Here are strategy preparations before fighting the
BOSS, has healed your party to full health. To increase your attacking
power, junction magic to your attacks and you will do very devastating
attacks on the BOSS. If the BOSS summons monsters ignore them and
concentrates your attacks on the BOSS. Once defeat the BOSS, I would
opted for the Magic Command, edges in combat as well as healing lost
HP. Weapons Upgrading also provide you the essentials to increase your
attacking power.

#######################################################################

After defeat the first BOSS, head right up the stairs. Walk down the
stairs and enter the door on the right. Before you enter, notice that
if you head the southwest and you will find a bell, shrunk it, you will
find the time on the top-left hand corner and have the other party head
for the organ as soon as possible [ASAP], you will find the Omega
Weapon, he is tough.

Next enter the area. Walk down the stairs and you will find another
Green Spot and head up to the door located in the north. You will be at
the Painting Gallery. Here is a little diagram to help you:

Well with the map, this should be any problem. Take a look at ALL

you will given the list of pictures that you have seen before. Now
pick in this order:

VIVIDARIUM [p10] -> INTERVIGILIUM [p4] -> VIATOR [p8]

And the hidden letters of the painting will be uncovered and the
second BOSS will appear. Contact with it and it's BOSS fight!

==================
-----Strategy-----
==================

A smart and a powerful enemy, with decent armor and damage. This is
what I myself will describe it as. It can create tiny troops [Young
Rob and it's unlimited stock] So it's pointless to fight against them.
Worst of all, if it is low on HP, it WILL drain HP from the Young Robs,
thus recharging their HP. A double spell and two Tornadoes/Ultimas at
time is great idea to battle against this BOSS. Just use Wind/Tornado
to create harvoc, not necessary pick G.F. as it's rather useless. Draw
is also not quite a wise choice as you see what spells you can find
from the BOSS. Now choose either Draw [if you do not have Demi] or G.F.
Pick Revive if you have enough Demi in your stock.

#######################################################################

Enter the door located in the north and you will another Green Spot and
you will find two stairways heading up to the other side. Now head down
to the basement. [just walk up]. You will find two doors, one of them
leads to the Armory Room, which can not be entered. Enter the open
door at the middle. You will find a corpse holding a key, press Circle
to examine it and you will fight another BOSS. [notice that there is a
handle there next to the open room? you need to head back here later]

#######################################################################
BOSS NO. 29 U L F R A M I T E R

Name of BOSS: Ulframiter Level: 32 HP: 30,000
Attacks: Swipe, Swipe-All, Punch
Facts: Strong against physical damage.
Draw: Demi
AP gained: 30

==================
-----Strategy-----
==================

Well this is prehaps the most defensive BOSS in this game. It's
high defensive attributes. Use Demi /Diablo on the BOSS and it will do
9999 HP damage to this cruel monster. By the way, this BOSS has very
high defensive attributes, reducing your attacking power to 1/10!
So it's a wise choice that you have made. Pick Revive dead characters
next as you may want to revive those dead characters.

#######################################################################

SECOND PARTY

Okay, now it's time for the other team to do some business. Head for
the north door of the main hall, where you will find the first BOSS.
Next in the area, walk to the unstable chandelier [whole party] and you
will fall directly onto the banquent room. Examine the hatch and you
will be able to open it. Next walk down and you will find the 4th BOSS,
a flying monster.

#######################################################################
BOSS NO. 30 T R I E D G E
#######################################################################

Name: Triedge Level: 50 HP: 22,000
Attacks: Lightning Strike, Sense, Charge, Swipe.

Draw: Haste, Tornado, Bio [Poison]
AP gained: 30

|||||||||||||||||| < HP > ||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||| STR DEF ||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||| INT SPI |
|||||||| DEX EVA ||

==================
-----Strategy-----
==================

This BOSS is quite tough for it has very killing moves. The Lightning
Strike does about 3000+ HP damage against all allies. The BOSS absorb
lightning. Use Fire-based attacks such as Fire 3 [does about 9000+ HP
damage to the BOSS] or Ifrit. Extreme easy if you have Lightining-
elemental defense.

#######################################################################

NOTE: There is a magic stone located near the barrels in the north.

Now you have dealt with the BOSS, back to the top floor and head
through the mid-Garden [it has fountain in the middle and has a Magic
Stone in the top-left corner and a green spot in front of the
fountain.] You will find an organ [which you can messed with it, this
is also the place where you can fight the Omega Weapon]. Here are the
keys for the ORGAN.
.......................................................................

Circle : Do L1 : So
============== X : Re R1 : La
-----KEYS----- Square : Mi L2 : Ti
============== Triangle : Fa R2 : Do

START : Exit

.......................................................................

Now head up the stairs on the right, there you will find the key which
will fall onto the ground as soon as before you can reached it. Next
head back to the Green Spot inside the banquet room [note that you will
force lever down which prevents the lamp from falling and switch to the
other party which should be at the basement.

MAIN PARTY

Now controlling the other party, head back to the basement and you will
find a shiny item on the southeast corner of the screen, examine it and
take the key [Key to the Armory]. Next enter the room and you will
fought spooky monsters with no bodies [found at Avadon's Hideout] and
the 5th BOSS of the section.

|||||||||||||||||| < HP > ||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||| STR DEF ||||||||||||||||||
|||||||||||||||||| INT SPI
|||||| DEX EVA ||||

==================
-----Strategy-----
==================

The first three parts are quite easy. Defeat using Holy-based attacks
[Alexandar, a wise choice]. Attack them until they are defeated. Now
the BOSS will appear, it's rather tough. The Eyes Beam, not only causes
1000+ HP damage and cause the Darkness and Slow status. The BOSS will
counterattack your attack with the Counter grab. Use Heal to restore
lost HP, now it's essential is to unlock Special Moves as the BOSS' HP
are increasing more as you fight on.

* Galganture [full version] will appear after you have defeated all of
them. [the head and the hands]

#######################################################################

After defeating the BOSS, head for the Green Spot outside the basement.
Switch to the second party.

SECOND PARTY

Head for the main hall. Go up the stairs and enter the room located on
the left. Now walk down the light-side corridor [there is a room here
on the left] which should be heading northeast direction. Walk to the
door. There are two elevators at this screen which will only operate if
you have examine all the paintings. Enter the elevator on the left,
and use the Green Spot to switch over. Now for the other party...

MAIN PARTY

Head up the stairs on the left and enter the opening door on the left.
Now walk across the path, there is a Magic Stone and a Save Point. Now
head across and you will reach the screen with the two elevators, now
enter it and switch to the other party. The other party will go to the
other ledge.

SECOND PARTY

Now examine the room and you will find a Magic Stone plus a key. This
essential for the next party. Take the key and head back to the Green
Spot and switch to Squall's Party.

MAIN PARTY

Now head back to the basement where you fight the two BOSS and examine
the handle next to the opening to that tough defending BOSS. Activate
it. Now the water will be drained. Now head for the Fountain [north
from the banquet room]. Check there and you will find the key near
the fountain. Next head back to the banquet room and use the Green
Spot on the left [this will prevent the chandelier from falling].
Switch to the other party.

SECOND PARTY

Now head south and back to the light-side corridor. Examine the door
on the left and use it. Next you will find four coffins. Here is a
diagram.

==================
-----Strategy-----
==================

The BOSS is weak against Earth/Water. So use Earthquake/Brothers/
Leviathan/Water on the BOSS. Do not use Lightning based attacks on the
BOSS [Queztalcoatl/Bolt 1~3]. Use Special moves to dish out damage on
the BOSS.

#######################################################################

Now head down the path and up the stairs [there is a Green Spot here],
you will be back at the main hall, go through the middle door at the
second floor. Now walk across the chandelier, you will not fall as the
handle is being pressed down. Now enter the room and you will find
the BOSS!

Draw: Holy

==================
-----Strategy-----
==================

This BOSS isn't tough, just have several deadly attacks [1000+ HP
damage]. Now you have only two commands haven't uncovered. Just use
G.Fs [except for Shiva]. Note that the BOSS will counterattack with
the Cyber Shot. The Cyber Frost does a whole lot of damage [3000+]
so take note. The BOSS will summon Ultima before it's death....

#####################################################################

Now head back to the main hall and use the Green Spot and it's time
to switch to Squall and company...

MAIN PARTY
Now head for the room where you find the organ. Now up the stairs on
the right. Cross the wooden bridge. The ladder takes to the lower
section of the clock tower. Now walk up the winding path [it's a
long way..] Now you will find a huge bell swing from right to left.
Now head and position yourself near the edge. Wait for the bell to
come and press Circle. Now your party will be taken to the hole..
Next you will find the toughest BOSS among eight BOSSES in the
castle. It looks like a Bahamut...

==================
-----Strategy-----
==================

A very offensive BOSS. This guy can does an outstanding damage of
8000+ to all allies with his Dark Flare. Here is some essentials you
need to get before the fight:

1. Recovery equiped and G.Fs command sealed off.
2. Alexandar's Sonsei.
3. All character's HP must be ABOVE 8000+ [junction Magic to your
HP, refer to G.F section for more details.]

Well, if you have the requirements, it's time for the battle. Firstlty
cast Cerebrus on your party. Cast Regen to all members. Next cast Aura
on Squall and use his special techniques. Has Squall do the attacking,
Recovery on one character and some Heal 3 to restore lost HP when the
BOSS uses Dark Flare [the BOSS will fly higher and there you will see
a name in the box above]. Have a couple of Life 2 to revive death
characters.

#######################################################################

Now do you know that all your commands has been unsealed. Now head
back to the other side through the bell and up to the doorway. There
you will find the last Magic Stone, exit from the area. Now walk left
through the hands of the clock and climb down the ladder. Next walk
right and climb down the ladder. Now head north. There you will find
the last Save Point and the door leads to the place where the witch
Altemisia is.. Make your necessary preparations before the battles,
make sure everyone's HP is at their maximum. Or might as well use a
Tent. Now examine the door and pick the first option.

6.3 T H E L A S T F I G H T
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

NOTES: The final battle will comprise of ALL characters. Defeated
characters will be taken away by a spell and a new character
will replace him/her. So conserve the good all members,
especially Squall [highest attacking power, plus the powerful
R1 trigger]

There you will meet Altemisia [similar to evil Edea...] Next you will
have a short conversation and you will have to battle against the
final BOSS!

==================
-----Strategy-----
==================

ALTEMISIA

She is quite easy if you have accquired all the skills and have
Squall's Lionheart. Just simply cast Aura for a quick victory. OR Cast
Cerebrus and Ultima thrice! Cast Regen too as the battles are
CONTINOUS.

GIVERA

The situation started to changes. Givera is a tough one [not as tough
as the Omega Weapon or the Ultimate Weapon]. This guy not only have
killer moves but also Tornado and Meteor. Use G.Fs except for Brothers/
Grasharaboras/Diablo. The BOSS could cast Demi which will decrease
character's HP greatly. The BOSS could also poison/darkness/blind/
sadness with a single attack. Use Remedy or Cure to counter this
attack

ALTEMISIA-GIVERA

This is another tough battle. The BOSS could cast Meteor [2000+ to
each character] and Tornado [3000+ to each character]. The BOSS could
also take away spells from your character. Bash it up with G.Fs. [
except Carbunkle]. Cast Ulima thrice is also a useful move. The BOSS
occasionally will summon tiny platelets [Level: 42, HP: 9000+] to
attack your party. You can draw Cure from them to restore the status
disorder.] Use Squall's R1 trigger to inflicit more damage on the
BOSS [need to do three times if Squall's attacking power is 5000+]

FINAL ALTEMISIA

The most dangerous move, Torture Flare which will reduce every
characters [those in battles] to only 1. Counter with Heal 3 or the
Leviathan's Recovery Command. It could also does a couple of deathly
moves such as the Magic Drain, which will remove the entire lot of
Magic (1 kind). The BOSS occasionally will use Aero on a member
[3000+]. Again, use Squall's finishing move to dealt out damage,
about 4 times if Squall's attacking power is 5000+]. So for these
battles you require a chunk of Aura spells.

NOTE: Defeated characters CAN be revive with Life /Life 2 / Sonsei /
Phoenix Down. But the BOSS could take away defeated characters
with the Angel move. Another character will come...

######################################################################

After defeating Altemisia, Squall was been diverted from his party.
Irvine thinks that the battle is over and thus meeting the rest, lost
in time... Rinoa could not find Squall and was lost in time. Next the
screen changes from white to black, leaving Squall alone from the
rest. Squall keep on calling for his teamates, especially for Rinoa..
Next he will be brought to Edea's house where he meet young Squall
and Edea. Suddenly, Altemisia appears and you will have the sequence
on how Altemisia has transfered herself in Edea's body and mind and
of course how she die. Squall will then tell Edea about a military
academy called SeeD which will inspired Edea and her husband Cid to
form a school for those whom want SeeD called Garden and followed by
this FMV:

** FMV **
Squall was walking past a deserted island, feeling depressed as he
can't find his love... Depression in his heart. Now the screen
switches to Rinoa whom is running to search for Squall and was lost
too. Examining her pendant, wishing Squall is all right. Now Squall
will started to have illusions about Rinoa at the graduation ball
and the President's mansion, Rinoa keeping on disappear from Squall's
eyes. Squall can't stand it and fall onto the ground... Just then
Rinoa has found Squall whom is barely breathing. She cries out and the
screen will switch to the rest of the characters... Seifer/Fuujin/
Raijin at F.H. City, Laguna visiting the tomb of his wife... followed
by the ending FMV (can't tell it ^_^;)... close your Playstation
console until you saw the words "THE END"

Well that's all folks. Bye!
