FFVIII Help Thread

Hey I never tried this before but does Carbuncle's reflect work on Ultimecia.

[Omega]

Carbuncles effect works on your characters, adding Reflect to everyone. It has no effect on Ultimecia.

If you mean her magic spells, than the answer is it will reflect all spells that can be reflected. Special spells of hers such as Apocalypse probably cannot be reflected, as it's like Ultima, unblockable.

Basically any inherant attacks she has, cannot be reflected.

Yes it does... briefly. Ultimecia will waste no time in knocking it off with dispel.

Where is a good place to get cursed spikes..?
Its a pain to find 100 and refine it into darkmatter = 100 Ultimas..

[Crazy Chocobo]

I think the best way to get Curse Spikes is to mug Tri-Faces. I think you get a few curse spikes per enemy. I am not sure if that's right or not. If you have Diablos, equip Mug to Squall and use it during battle. You can find them before you encounter Edea at Galbadia Garden. I hate fighting them, they annoy me! I think you can also find them on the Island Closest to Hell and the Deep Research Centre. I hope that helps. Good luck. You could also modify Tri-Face cards but you only get one per card. It would be better off trying to Mug them.

So Im about to play through again because its been a LONG time, so does anyone have any tips or anything about where I should do things and what I should learn?

It depends what Squall's level is. What is it?

[Crazy Chocobo]

Yeah, it all depends on what level Squall is on. I know it's pretty high because it normally takes me ages to defeat him. That's usually when I'm on a high level though.

I found on a site that says his HP ranges from: 30968-159000
That's a fair amount isn't it? The battle seems to go on for ages!

[Pacman]

Hi everyone. I was wondering if someone can give me some tips about how to beat Omega Weapon? I can't seem to beat him!

Thanks.

[Dark Sephiroth]

i dont no but do you lot no how to get zells card?

[Crazy Chocobo]

You can get Zell's card from Ma Dincht at Balamb. You can visit her at the beginning of disc one or later on in disc two. You can only play her when you have Zell in your party. She has never played the card for me though lol.

[Dark Sephiroth]

ok but can you get squal?

[Crazy Chocobo]

What do you mean exactly? Are you talking about Squall's card? If so, you can win his card from Laguna in Esthar or on the Ragnarok. That is after he is aboard of course, just go up to him and ask to play cards with him. I don't think he is too difficult to play cards with.

[Dark Sephiroth]

ok got it thanks for the help

Does anyone know a good place to train at the start of disc three with just the garden as transport?
