FFVIII Help Thread - Page 2

I just said the duel trick.

Basically, you just let Zell do two moves repeatedly. I'm pretty sure I used Booya (O X) and Punch rush ( Up, down) and you keep repeating those two moves. People have done this so they've gotten over 400,000 damage on one duel. I can get usually an average of about 100,000 on one Duel, so it can easily beat Renzokuken. However, you can only do moves of about 2 buttons or less, because otherwise, it takes too long, and you don't get much in.

Meltdown + Aura + Renzokuken = Much damage to Ultemecia.

It's the way through most bosses, infact. Read the 'FFVIII too easy' thread to get an idea ^_^.
Limit breaks really are the way to killing Ultemecia fast. Aura gets you more access to limit breaks, so use as many as you can. Casting meltdown on Ultemecia weakens her as it does with any other enemy, so be sure to use it.

Oh, and if you are going to use Double or Triple, I wouldn't recommend using Cerberus, as Ultemecia can cast away your GFs as you summon them, so you dont want to risk wasting time.

I never bother with double or triple at all to be honest. I only really use magic for meltdown, aura, and healing, and healing can also be done using items. Since megalixirs do more than curagas, I use items more than I do magic.

Good evening everybody!

Well, I'm a super fan of the Final Fantasy games, specially FF8. I finished this game several times but now I'm having a BIG problem with my disc one. The problem is: The game crashes at the Dollet Communication Tower (disc one) when Squall, Zell and Seifer get at the top of the hill and they meet Selphie. In this part the game crashes to desktop. For this reason I ask you masters: Does anybody have the saved game inside the Communication Tower? You know, before killing the boss? If you guys do, can you pleeeease send me this file?

Can't help you, sir, I play the PSX version of the game. If you like, you can make a seperate thread for this sort of question titled 'FFVIII save file required', I'll allow it as it's not the usual sort of question. It's due to a bug on your disc and not so much a question about the game itself.

Still, somebody may have a save game file. You could try searching the internet, I think there are websites out there that let you download save game files.

You could also try to re-install the game. Just keep ahold of the save file you do have before the game crashed.

I need help on getting the Power Generator.

I'm already on the fourth disk and missed any other chances to get them so I could use them on Quistis to acquire her Ray-Bomb Blue Magic. I looked it up and I've been reading how you can steal one from the Blitz monster but it is very rare. I haven't had any luck with stealing a Power Generator from the Blitz so I continued to look up information about this. I also found out that if you defeat over thirty enemies over level thirty, you may be able to steal from them.

I'm kind of confused, though. Does that mean kill any monster in the game that's above level thirty over thirty times? Or does it mean that I have to kill over thirty of the Blitz monsters over thirty times? Do I have to steal from them each time, not steal from them, or does it even matter?

Please, if anyone knows how to go about this the right way and knows that it'll work, I would greatly appreciate it. I've kind of lost the motivation to play Final Fantasy VIII because I'm not sure if I'm going about this the right way and am not sure if I'll ever get the Power Generator. And from the sounds of it I could have gotten it easily earlier in the game but now that I'm on the fourth disk, I can't seem to find any other way to get the Power Generator.

You can't steal it you must mug it from blitz easy way to encounter blitzes is to walk in forests near edea's house. if it says cannot steal anything cure the blitz and use mug again.It's very rare to get it so it might take a while but just be patient.Hope this works

PS:don't waLK IN THE FOREST NEAREST EDEA'S HOUSE GO A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN

ps2:blitzes give you many times 8 betrayal sword.I have done this on PAL version.

And Yes You Can Get It In Fourth Disk.anybody Saying Anything Else Are Liars

Hiroshino · 07-14-2005, 06:56 AM

I thought stealing and mugging were kind of the same thing, or at least somewhat similar.

I looked it up in my guide book and you can't get a Power Generator from an Elnoyle. It's the Energy Crystal that I was really thinking of that you can use as some of the raw materials to refine your weapon into the Lion Heart if you have the other materials needed, or something. I knew there wasn't something right about when I heard that you can get Power Generators from and Elnoyle because I would have already of had it by now.

Thanks for advice. I'm glad it's different from what I've heard when I tried looking up some ways of getting the generator. Hopefully by combining these different strageties I'll finally get this item and get the game over with. Thanks again.

Oh and yeah, I've had enough of those Betrayal Swords.

Good that I was any help

same for me about those betrayal swords

Rinoa.Heartilly · 07-14-2005, 08:46 PM

I am currently writing a revamped Tutorial, That covers just about every aspect of the game, much more then the game one provides, 300% more info then the game one. Its still a working progres...but basically I am here for anyone who needs help?

I actually have a question myself. Do they have Eva Up item or the Luck Up item? Or Hit-up? I wasn't entirly sure, I have never encountered them myself, but I'm learning new things everyday. Like if you Devour the right monster you can raise your raw strength stat(strength stat without juntioning)? It also applies for Vit, Spr, Spd, Mag, and HP. Interesting bit of info ehh? Just learned that today messing around with Devour. Neat things.

I don't have th PC version, and I know this is COMPLETELY unrelated, but my FF8 also has a problem with saving inside the communications tower. Except for the fact it refuses to save rather then freezing.

Rinoa Heartilly: woah, I had no idea that was possible. I have to try it now... @_@;;...

I'm not sure to your question, though I seriously doubt it, I, having been through the game, seen everything there was to see, and never found any, so it's highly unlikely.

10-24-2005, 05:06 AM

Well Rinoa Heartilly, that info is pretty old if you ask me.. at least on the gamefaqs forums they were doing that from the start

But good for people who didn't know!

I need some help here. I just got passed the part where you go to the white SeeD ship and i need to know how to get into Esthar and where to i find this monolith the people are talking about.

fire exit man · 12-14-2005, 06:31 AM

If i remember rightly you've got to go to FH. But bear in mind you're gonna be in Esthar for a while, and there are Malboros in the desert south of it, so make sure you're prepared.
before you hit Esthar you'll hit the Great Salt Lake, be careful because Abadon can be a bitch, but he has one major weakness, he's undead.

Hope that helps.
