I think a good way to beat ultramercia is to use Aura on everyone so they can use their limit breaks (especially Squall and Zell because their limit breaks can do a lot of damage) Then use a holy war or use a hero on everyone so that they are invincible. Then use your limit breaks. And then repeat until you win. If not you can use Eden which does a lot of damage if I remember right. I also think that meltdown of Doomtrain works well because it drops her vitality. You could also get everyone to have good stats so you can use them all to fight her. I'm not really sure how you can get specific people to fight her or have her get rid of certain people. I forgot because I haven't played in such a long time.

I would stick with the limit breaks. They worked well for me. She really isn't that tough compared to Omega Weapon or other Final Fantasy bosses.

For beating Ultimecia, I depended on Squall as the muslce (Lionheart Owns), another person as a "Medic" and another person as a "magician". While Squall would pound away with Physical attacks, the medic would keep everyone alive and the mage would make sure that any effects on the other 2 people would be removed.

I had a lot of trouble beating Ultimecia as well. I had Squall, Rinoa and Zell in my party who were level 100. I know it isn't necessary to level up but I did anyway. I had a lot of Aura magic on me thanks to the Island Closest to Heaven and Hell. I also had one person as a healer and the other two were attackers.

I kept using Aura on all of the characters and kept dishing out limit breaks to them. Lionheart is obviously the best one to use because of how much damage it makes. The only bad thing about that is Squall chooses his limit breaks randomly so you may not get to use Lionheart very much. Just heal your party whenever you have to maybe cast Protect or Shell on your party. The battle goes on for a very long time in my opinion, just be careful with what you do. Good luck.

I had Squall as the brawn, Irvine as the healer and Zell as the backup when I went in. The others I did as much as I could with (all of them did between 1000 + 7000 damage, with Squall as muh 9999 exception), but didn't bother reviving.
Smash her with Lionheart and Duel, keep the other two alive ... yeah. Worked for me.
Didn't bother with Hero or Holy Wars. Didn't bother with support magic. Didn't bother with anything other than Aura, Recover, Treatment and Revive. Works for me. *Shrugs*

Hello I have been searching for a place where I can ask all my qeustions too about FF8!!! Ok ill get to the point. First off my Qeuzacotl didn't learn card mod in the begginning and now he cant learn it. Am I screwed? Is there some way to delete an ability or something? My second question is how do I get to Ultima? I have beaten Bahamut and I know your supposed to go back to the deap sea lab. But my idiots wont go down. So if you could help that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Yes GFs can forget abilities by using Amnesia Greens. You can probably buy those in Esther or I think you can also buy them in Timber. This would only be a problem if you taught Quezacotl an ability. If you didn't you probably didn't learn card yet.

There are a lot of places you can get Ultima. You can get Ultima from Shumi Village which is located very far north.(It costs 5000 Gil) You can also get Ultima from hidden draw points on the Islands closest to Heaven and Hell along with a lot of other rare magic. Finally you can draw Ultima from Ultima Weapon which is located in the Deep Sea Research Center.(If you are into cards you can refine Ultimas from Ultima Stones which you can card mod from the Ultima Weapon Card once you get card mod.

)

I'm not quite sure why you can't go into the Deep Lab Research Center. Maybe you should just try again. This was never a problem for me.

OK, after you kick Bahamut's butt, you go out into the world map, muck arouond a bit, visit Ragnarok's bridge and then head back to the Deep Sea Research Center. Should be some big plant in the middle where that blue pillar was. Climb down it. Make sure you have Zell in your party first. You'll get some Steam Pressure or something. Use the minimum possible on each level. Then get Zell to bust open the door when you see this big machine, instead of using your Steam Pressures. You'll hafta fight lots of monsters, Enc None or no. And you can't escape either. Kick their butts, and get down to Ultima. Kick its butt, and you're home free. DRAW EDEN!!

I could write a freaking walkthru.

Dragoon_Nick · 04-14-2007, 09:54 PM

Hmm...i remember knocking down the door without zell....and if you were to forget to draw Eden, you could always draw it from one of the bosses(Can't remember which..) in ultimecia's castle...

Tiger Lily · 04-14-2007, 11:49 PM

Yeah, you can, but you use the Steam Pressures that you need later on to get to Ultima Weapon. So you need Zell.

It's the Tiamat you can draw it from. Up the stairs, past the Sphinxaur, down the chandelier, through the door, therough the next door, up the stairs to the right, up the tower, jump onto the pendulum, get across, then it's through the door. Draw from it, kick it's butt, and you've got Eden and an ability.

GoldenChocobo · 04-15-2007, 11:56 AM

Yea. I tought him an ability and didn't learn card until late in the game because I didn't think it was for anything good. So he learned max abilities and learned card for like his last one. Come to find out thats what you need to get card mod sigh. It was funny because everyones talking about card modding and what you can get from cards and I'm thinking how the crap do you card mod??? I must be an idiot! Because everyones talking about it like its something easy. Anywhoo I was talking about how to get to Ultima weapon lol but thanks for the info where Ultima magic is. I usually just buy it from Shumi Village. I think I'm at a part where it won't let me though because I have been to the Ragnarok bridge and done everything I am supposed to but it still wont let me. Im at the part where Laguna is on the ship and I'm supposed to be going to fight Seifer.
