FFVIII Help Thread

[Neo Necron]

I've no idea why I didn't think of making one of these before, but if you seek help and advice for FFVIII, here is the place to ask your questions.

Also, if anybody wants to answer a question for somebody, then do feel free. This thread is free for anybody to make any questions and/or answers they desire (so long as the are not spammy, of course ^_^).

hey neo necron, im having alot of trouble getting squalls ultimate weapon, dude ive been trying for ages n just cant seem to get it...can i get any help on this ?

Ok, you need

Adamantine x1

Dragon Fang x4

Pulse Ammo x12

How to get it:

To get the Adamantine either defeat an Adamantoise
or change Minotaur card into item.

To get Dragon Fangs fight From Blue Dragon w/RARE ITEM ability on to receive it as a item

And finaly to get Pulse Ammo change Lazer Cannon item to get 5 Pulse Ammo or change Power Generator to get 20 Pulse Ammo.

Thats how I just did it.

[Neo Necron]

Yeah, those are the items to get. A few additional notes though:

Make sure you dont mug the adamantoises, or you won't win any adamantines.

Dragon Fangs, again, win them from Blue Dragons but don't mug them. Blue Dragons succumb easily to a comination of meltdown and death. Doesn't work all the time, but more often than death works on some other enemies.

Power Generators to get Pulse Ammo can be won from Elnoyles. You can find one in Esthar. Look around for a dark looking guy standing on a walkway by a sort of T-junction. Speak to him, he'll laugh manically and you'll fight an Elnoyle. Again, defeat it, don't mug it.

[REPLEY QUOTE TO:Mr_Biggs= FROM Tristen] Squall's final weapon is impossible to get if you try to get it by cards instead be patient you have to be on the third disc alright here's what you need ADAMANTINE- you'll have to sacrifice a card called minataur or something like that any way use CARD MOD to get ADAMANTINE.
PULSE AMMO on the end of disc three you'll have to fight a robot inside lunatic pandora (only after you smashed in to it with the red ship you get) it'll drop something put that through AMMO-RF that'll give you enough PULSE AMMO.
DRAGON FANGS-welllllllll you just have to fight dragons ya know that about covers it.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Heh...well I have a question. In disk three, how do you get the items to get doomstrain. I got it once but I forgot how to do it now.

[Neo Necron]

6 Malboro Tentacles (Mug or win from Malboros)

6 Remedy Pluses (Refine from remedies using Alexander's (I think it's Alexander) Med-Lv-Up ability)

6 Steel Pipes (Mug or win from low-level wendigos)

[Brotherhood]

You can also get Marlboro Tentacles from Card Modding. 4 Malboro cards gets you 4 I beleive.

Thanks yall, I got the summon.

Hey NN do you know the best place to train in FF8? Trying to find a good place.

Try going to the island closest to hell or the island closest to heaven. All the monsters there are at level 100. If you beat any monsters there you can get bout 750-1200 exp per battle.
If you wana make it easy for yourself junction 100 death to elem/att and its a one hit kill.

Isn't it status/att? Because Death isn't an element.....

Anyway....Is there a way to stop (spoiler below....I think)












Ultimecia from drawing away all of your stuff?

[Tsiiri]

Indeed there is, it is by killing her uber fast...When I fought her, she only managed to get about 3 different spells from me.
Well, if you want me to go into detail, just say so...

Seriously yes. I'm having a bit of trouble.

[Angel of Death]

The final Boss can really only be stopped from stealing your spells by yes, just defeating her really fast. However, it can be argued that if you really use your "Bonus" abilities (Str Bonus, Vt Bonus) then you shouldn't really have to worry.

Ex: When i faced her, My Squall had Str Bonus since about level 20, and had it through level 100. He gained an additional 80 str points, making a HUGE difference. Using a strength + 60% ability helps even more. You may not even have to equip a spell to strength. I did this with strength and HP, and also magic I believe. Squall was a wrecking force, and destroyed most enemies, without many spells equipped.

If that's not an option: Have Squall, Zell, and another character. Double cast (using Cerberus) Aura on Squall and Zell, then use Holy Wars on your party. Let them unload (Squall with Renzokuken, Zell abusing Duel if you know the trick. If you don't, basically, you just let Zell loose using only (I believe) Punch Rush and Booya, and repeat over and over again.) Then repeat, for an easy win.

[Tsiiri]

Basically, I used Squall, Irvine, and Zell. I used Aura on them and had them bust out their limits. Squall with the Lionheart, Zell with Duel, and Irvine with Pulse Ammo.

By the way, what is the duel trick? I think I've heard it somewhere before but I forgot it...
