Final Fantasy 8
How to get cloud:

When you are in the missile base [note you must have Irvin and

Zell on your team. Once you are in the missile base and you get all

the way to the compuyer room know matter how well you done you will

fight these soilders. Draw off the red soilder not the blue ones it

will be a question mark. once you get up to the top, and you fight

that blue mrv you will have to use the drawn magic on it, once you

beaten it you will get a buster sword. Later on go to Odins place and

use the buster sword on him when you use it, it will help at the end

in disc three when Seifer chops Odin in half instead of getting

Gillgemesh you will get Cloud.



How to get the Lionheart:

In disk 1 aquire 2 of everything at one of the shops then go to a

junk shop and you will able to get the Lionheart by exchanging all

your items.

the one rule. He can be found at the docks at Balamb Town fishing

after the occupation.



Easy AP & Boost:

Easy AP: in dollet kill the metal spider for 50 ap

Easy boost: if you have a turbo pad just hold the button



How to attack everytime with a limit attack:

First thing, during a battle, keep a character in "yellow", then

when it's time to attack press the circle button till you get the

"special attack option".



How to kill a t-rex with just one shot:

Make junction with "death" magic to the status attack.



Hint:

Haste isn't the best spell for speed. 100 Triples will boost it

quite a lot more than Haste. In my game Squall kills something and his

turn comes up again before it hits the ground.



Solomon Ring:

In order to use the"Solomon Ring" you must have these items:x6

Steel Pipes,x6 Remedy+`s,& x6 Marboro Tentacles....this item releases

GF Doomtrain.

2. Excaliber - Strong attack against all enemies

3. Excalipoor - Causes 1 point of damage to each enemy

Catuar Island hint:

You know that little sand island, out to the Southeast, called

Catuar Island? Make sure that when you go to him, all your characters

are junctioned with water to give you an added advantadge. Also make

sure Leviathan is level 50+ his water attack will cause 9,999HP

damage. Plus put the ability`s RECOVER & REVIVE on the character not

using Leviathan. Also make sure at the begining of the battle to cast

haste on all your characters, you must finish this GF off quickly or

else he runs away and you must start over. One other thing this is

also a good place to build up your GF`s the Cactuar, on this Island

give you 20AP so after 10 battles you make up to 200AP.



Hint:

When you beat Omega Weapon, don`t go to the Last Boss with

Ultimicia. Instead go to you character options and select "Proof that

Omega Weapon Exisits". When you click on it, it will give you a recent

background info on the creature that tells you how to beat it easier

nexttime.



No Death at end:

Equip auto-potion to Irvine and make sure you have enough final

limit break aimo, have plenty of x-potions(no other potions). At the

end when fighting Ultimicia, her final form you will be reduced to 1

but you will use auto-potion immediatly, but right before you use auto

potion keep hitting Circle repeatably and you will get your limit

break up and then get 100 % health. Keep shooting her until it reaches

zero then repeat on next turn, you are bound to win.



Hint

When fighting the first monster you meet in the fire cavern on

the first disc. Try to practice a bit before you start to fight them.

Train for a while. When you start to fight the monsters and trying to

get to Ifrit (the GF in the fire cavern) fight until you get to level

20 or 24, it will make the battle much easier.



Attacking Sorceress Ultimacia

You must first get Squall to be at level 100 and any two of the

other party member. Get your party's to be well equiped and with their

best weapon. Be sure to get Squall the lion heart which is the

strongest weapon in the whole game. Also get him to learn the

lionheart attack because it is the only way to defeat Soceress

Ultimacia. She have 4 forms to defeat but you have to fight 5 time

because she uses the GF she have before she junction herself into it.

Get at least 50 full life, 50 life, 50 curaga and 50 other magice that

dispells confusion, poisons or other harmal spells. Use Aura on Squall

alot so that he can use his lionheart which will finish her first form

off easily. Keep using Aura on Squall and attack with him and you will

soon defeat her.

No Random Encounters:

There is a way to not fight any monsters on the world map besides

using Diablos' encounter-none ability. If you walk on a road or train

tracks, you won't have to fight any enemies. This is handy early on in

the game when your HP is low and need to get to Balamb Garden or

Balamb.



Kill the zombie with one hit:

When you go to nagotiate with the president(disc 1) use a GF on

him in human form and when he changes use Phonix down (by clicking on

phonix down and when the people screen comes up press left)Then he

should automatically be dead.



Fast Magic:

To use triple very early on in a fight , junction cerberus to

someone with the initiative ability, use cerberus right away. now you

can use magic x3 the whole fight!



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



Hints:



Easy Limit Breaks:

Get into a battle, and wait until all characters time bars are

full. Then keep hitting CIRCLE (TRIANGLE in the Japanese version) and

eventually Squall or Zell will have use of their limits.



Secret G.F:

After reciving Ragnarok go to the bottom left of the screen.

There should be a base there if you defat the boss (Bahamut) you will

get him he will come on your side. After Bahamut go father into the

base and you will fight Altema Weapon draw "Eden" from him.



G.F. Boost:

If you have a GF who has learned "Boost", this trick will work.

While your GF is about to appear on the screen, hold down "Select" and

you should see a hand pointing a finger on the "Square" button and a

number next to it. Keep holding "Select" and rapidly hit "Square" This

will raise that number which means more damage to the enemy. But make

sure you stop when an X appears over the hand. If you don't, the

number will start back at the beginning. Wait for the X to go away and

repeat the process. The higher the number reached, the more damage

caused.



Dancing soldiers:

At the missle base near the begining of Disc 2 there is a way to

mess around with the missle control. At the missle control panel,

after setting up the error ratio, go to equipment. Press and hold

Square and Triangle then press up or down to get a dancing elite guard

or a normal one.



Infinite Items with a Pocketstation:

If you have Final Fantasy 8(US), a Pocketstation and a

Memorycard, you can use the Pocketstation game Chocobo World to get

Infinite Items. Just do the following:



1. Download the Chocobo World game from Final Fantasy 8 onto your

Pocketstation, (Downloaded after you have caught a Chocobo.)



2. Start playing through Chocobo World, collecting as many items

as you can.



3. Once you have the items you want plug the Pocketstation and

the Sony Memorycard into your Playstation, go to the internal memory

card manager and save Chocobo World into the Sony Memorycard (Warning:

it takes 7 blocks of memory to store)



4. Start playing your Final Fantasy 8 game with the file that you

have caught a chocobo with, go to the game menu and choose , get to

the menu. You can then transfer the items into your FF8 game, choose

the option to take Boco(the character you play Chocobo World with)

home, which also lets you transfer all the items you have collected in

the Pocketstation game into the Final Fantasy 8 game, and then choose

the option to send Boco into the Pocketstation game again. NOW, get to

the option on the Final Fantasy 8 game to see all the item you got

from the Pocketstation.



5. Now comes the Infinite Item part of this cheat. Get to the

Memorycard Menu again, but this time copy the Chocobo World files that

are inside the Sony Memorycard back into your Pocketstation, and then

do step 4 (transferring items into FF8) over and over again to,

finally, get Infinite Items.



Note : you can do this to get 16 or more MiniMog abilities for

all your G.F.s to use, just find MiniMog inside the Pocketstation game

and then just do the transferring cheat mentioned again to do it over

and over.



Easy Card Games:

Want to play any card game without those ugly rules you hate so

much? Then don't spread them! By playing a card game with somebody

that says they want to play with combined rules,and you accept,the

rules will spread.To avoid this,when they ask you to play with

combined rules,say NO.Keep saying no until they play with just the

regular rules by just saying "wanna play" or whatever they say.



Easy Life Restoration:

As soon as you have Status-Attack-Junction,get 100 Drains and

junction them to whoever has the ability.Depending on how much damage

you do,you will be healed if you hit the opponent!



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



Hints:



Lion Heart on Disc 1!:

You think it is impossible don't you, but you are sooo wrong. It

is very much possible to get the Lion Heart on Disc one and here is

how. Because you do not need the mag to get the weapon all you need to

do is get the needed items. First you get Adamantine from the Minotaur

card. Second you get Dragon Fangs from a T-Rexaur between levels 20

and 29. Now get 20 Elnoyle Cards and refine them in to 2 Energy

Crystals. Then refine the energy crystals into 20 pulse ammo. Now you

can get the Lion Heart on Disc 1.



Gifts from Esthar Shops:

Cloud's Shop will randomly give you a Hi-Potion during the first

visit, and an X-Potion during oyur second visit. Johnny's Shop will

randomly give you a Hi-Potion during the first visit, and a

Mega-Potion during your second visit. Karen's Shop will randomly give

you a Hi-Potion during the first visit, and a Mega-Potion during your

second visit. Cheryl's Shop will only randomly give you one item: the

Rosetta Stone. Visit Cheryl's Shop during the Lunatic Pandora event in

Esthar when you are in control of Zell.



Crash Site:

If you missed out on the Alexander Card in the Lunar Base, you

can still win it from Piet. The escaped pod crashed in the Abadon

Plains, which is south of Tears' Point outside of Esthar's cloak. Land

on the island and search the area. You can't see the crash site, but

you'll automatically get taken there if oyu step in the right area.

Piet is sitting next to the escape pod cursing his bac luck.



Quick AP and EXP:

Toward the end of the game, you may need to do some quick level

building. If you're looking for AP there's only one place to go:

Cactuar Island. Each Cactaur you defeat is worth a whopping 20 AP. In

no time, you can learn skills worth 200 AP. If you need EXP visit

either the Island Closest to Heaven, or the Island Closest to Hell.

Both are found on either the far east or west coasts. There you'll

find only the toughest enemies in the game. During Quistis along and

leave her HP in the yellow. Then begin each battle by using her

Degenerator Limit Break. You'll quickly amass more experience than you

ever though possible. Also, be on the lookout for a mass of Draw

Points on both of these islands. They're all "unseen," but they

contain the best spells in the game and they all refill quickly.



Control Panel Secret:

You can toy around a bit with the Missile Control Panel at the

Galbadian Missile Base. Choose to go to the Equipment inspection

screen and you'll se the equipment used by the Galbadian Army. Hold

down both the Triangle and Square buttons and press up or down on the

control pad. The scene will switch to either a dancing Galbadian

Soldier or Elite Soldier. Pretty strange stuff.



Unlimited Gil:

You can make extra Gil with Edea's Letter. Take it to a shop and

you can sell it for 125 Gil. It isn't much, but it can help if you're

short on cash. Return to Edea's House and speak with Edea gain. She'll

scold you and then hand over another letter. you can continue to sell

her letters and get new ones to your heart's content. Granted this

isn't a great money maker, but it's kind of humorous.



Finding the Ragnarok on Disc Four:

The Ragnarok is stil around and full of people from the C.C.

Group, provided that you defeated the C.C. Group's King earlier in the

game. It's a long trek, but you can win some rare cards that oyu may

have missed throughout your journey from the C.C. Group's members. You

can also use the Ragnarok to find the Card Queen, who's hiding

somewhere on the World Map. While the journey to the Ragnarok isn't

tough, it is very long and slow. After going through the second portal

outside Ultimecia's Castle, you'll arrive in Centra's Serengetti

Plains area just a bit north of the Centra Ruins. Check the World Map

and you'll see a red dot southeast of your position. The red dot

signifies the Ragnaork.



To reach it, you need to find transportation across the ocean,

and without the Garden, you must rely on Chocobos. While on foot, head

to the northwest and rap your way around the bay to the Chocobo Forest

on the northeat tip of the Centra continent. Get a Chocobo and return

the way you came. Ride the Chocobo to the southern border until you

spot a beach. Ride across the ocean to the continent below, which will

take you very, very close to Edea's House. From Edea's House travel to

the east along the mountains. However, keep an eye out for a small

pass through the middle of the mountain range. On the other side,

you'll find the Kashkabald Deser and the Ragnarok. There's a fourth

portal near the Ragnarok. Upon entering this portal, a new portal will

appear in front of Ultimecia's Castle. Now you can travel to this

location any time you wish.



Finding the Queen of Cards on Disc Four:

After finding the Ragnarok, you can begin your hunt for the Card

Queen and explore the world. The Card Queen is hiding in the Abadon

Plains, just to the south of Esthar. You'll find her near the escape

pod crash site (the same place where you found Piet on Disc 3). Keep

in mind that there's no visible sign of the crash from the World Map.

To locate it, you must scour the southern tip of the plains until you

enter the area.



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



UFO's Sidequest:



Mandy Beach: Travel to Timber and explore the beach east of the

city. You'll spot the UFO abducting a moai statue.



Winhill Bluffs: Travel to Winhill in the southern region of the

Galbadia continent and explore the area southeast of the village and

west of the rocky path where Winhill Bluffs meets Lallapalooza Canyon.

You'll spot the UFO abducting a cow.



Kashkabald Desert: Travel to Kashkabald Desert in southern Esthar

and explore the western part of the desert. You'll spot the UFO

abducting a pyramid.



Heath Peninsula: Travel to Heath Peninsula in eastern Trabia and

explore the small island east of the peninsula. You'll spot the UFO

abducting a crop circle.



After you've made all four sightings pilot the Ragnarok to

Grandidi Forest in northern Esthar and set down on the highlands just

north of Chocobo's Holy Forest. Explore the area and you'll encounter

the UFO up close. Unfortunately you must destroy that which you do not

understand. Any attack will do, the UFO won't fight back, but you may

want to take the opportunity to stock up on Demi first. When the

damage is done the crippled craft will fly off and crash in the

distance. You'll be rewarded for your heroism with an AEGIS AMULET.



If you're still curious about the extra-terrestrial visitor

you'll have to travel to Balamb to find it. Explore the area near the

crater where Balamb Garden used to rest and you'll encounter PuPu.

There are two ways to deal with the creature: if you're bona fide

blood-thirsty you can butcher the defenseless and decidedly cute

little alien for an ACCELERATOR. If atonement is on your mind you may

recall from reading Occult Fan IV the UFO was searching for Status

Full Recovery Medicine. To offer amends make sure you have the Item

ability junctioned to at least one member of your party and five

Elixirs in your inventory before you engage PuPu. At the beginning of

the battle the alien will ask for Elixir. Grant PuPu's request and the

doe-eyed Oliver Twist will ask for more. Continue giving the creature

Elixir and, when adequate health care has been delivered, PuPu will

thank you by giving you the PUPU CARD. In either scenario you may want

to take the opportunity to stock up on magic before administering

PuPu's fate.



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



The Laguna Effect:



Depending on the actions you took while exploring the Excavation

Site (a.k.a. Lunatic Pandora's Excavation Site) as Laguna on Disc One,

you may be able to locate some useful items and Draw Points when you

explore Lunatic Pandora as Squall at the end of Disc Three. The

following covers the action taken by Laguna in the past and the result

in the present.

Draw Point.

Later Effect: Searching the spot where the Draw Point once was,

reveals a hidden Spd-J Scroll



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



Chocobo Forests:



There are seven Chocobo Forests in the world and there are

puzzles in six of them. As you attempt to solve each puzzle, you may

want to talk to Chocoboy and buy a hint for 100 Gil. You'll also have

the option to purchase Gysahl Greens at 600 Gil apiece or ask a

question for 10 Gil. When you've successfully summoned your first

Chocobo, talk to Chocoboy before you catch her and he'll let it slip

there may be something you haven't found yet. Use the ChocoSonar to

find a secret hiding place. Sound the ChocoZiner and the Chocobo will

dig in that location and reward you for mastering the forest. Talk to

Chocoboy and he'll tell you the items are a sign of affection for

those the Chocobos of that forest regard as one of their own. Each

time your return, you'll find the Chocobo waiting for you in the open.

To celebrate your first catch, Chocoboy will give you BOKO as a

present. In the future, you'll be able to summon Boko during battle

using Gysahl Greens and the Chicobo will attack your enemies.



CHOCOBO WORLD:

Chocobo World is a self-contained game designed for use with the

PocketStation. Save your game to a PocketStation unit and Boko can

take part in a journey of its very own. Boko will grow in strength as

it gains experience and can find exclusive Chocobo World items you can

bring back into "FINAL FANTASY VIII". Unfortunately, as the

PocketStation is unavailable to PlayStation owners in the US, Chocobo

World can only be enjoyed by users of the PC version, where it's

included as a stand-alone application.



'THE BEGINNER'S FOREST' [Chocobo's Forest: Beginner]

LOCATION: Trabia, Winter Island (just south of Shumi Village)

HINT: "Try to find a spot where only 1 falls down."

There are four Chicobos in this forest. The spot Chocoboy refers

to in his clue is in the far-left corner of the clearing. Use the

ChocoZiner in this location and a lone Chicobo will fall down. Catch

it and the mother will appear. Use the ChocoSonar in the far right

corner of the clearing to find the hidden location of an AURA STONE.



'THE BASICS FOREST' [Chocobo's Forest: Beginner]

LOCATION: Trabia, Sorbald Snowfield (west of Trabia Garden)

HINT: "You have to blow the whistle twice."

There are five Chicobos in this forest. You'll detect Chicobos in

a large area in the center of the clearing. Stand in the center of

that area and sound the ChocoZiner to make three Chicobos fall. Stand

over either of the two nearest Chicobos and sound the ChocoZiner to

send two of them back into the trees. Catch the remaining Chicobo and

the mother will appear. Use the ChocoSonar on the left edge of the

clearing to find the hidden location of a FLARE STONE.



'THE ROAMING FOREST' [Chocobo's Forest: Intermediate]

LOCATION: Trabia, Bika Snowfield (just north of Trabia Garden)

HINT: "Be careful where the Sonar reacts."

There are four Chicobos in this forest, two of them will be

already on the ground. Begin by standing over either of them and

sounding the ChocoZiner to send them both into the trees. Head for the

exit and use the ChocoSonar to detect the Chicobo location to the

right of the fallen tree. Sound the ChocoZiner to make a single

Chicobo fall and catch it to make the mother appear. Use the

ChocoSonar at the far snow bank, directly behind the mother Chocobo to

find the hidden location of a SHELL STONE and a HOLY STONE.



'FOREST OF SOLITUDE' [Chocobo's Forest: Intermediate]

LOCATION: Centra, Nectar Peninsula (north of Centra Ruins)

HINT: "Search carefully where the Sonar reacts."

There's only one Chicobo in this forest but you'll have to

pinpoint its exact location to bring it down. Use the ChocoSonar to

explore the area just to the left of and behind Chocoboy. Stand in the

light patch of grass so that your feet appear to be just higher than

Chocoboy's right hand. When you find it, use the ChocoZiner to summon

the solo Chicobo and catch it to make the mother appear. Finding the

hidden items will be just as difficult. Challenge Chocoboy to a game

of cards and ask him to move. Use the ChocoSonar in the spot where he

was standing to find the hidden location of a PROTECT STONE and a

METEOR STONE.



'FOREST OF FUN' [Chocobo's Forest: Expert]

LOCATION: Centra, Lenown Plains (east of Edea's House)

HINT: "Chocobowling with 4 bottles, 1 ball."

There are five Chicobos in this forest. You'll detect three major

Chicobo locations in the clearing. Find the nearest one and use the

ChocoZiner to make three Chicobos fall down. Stand over the far-left

Chicobo and sound the ChocoZiner to make a fourth Chicobo descend. Use

the ChocoSonar to find the Chicobo to the left of Chocoboy and sound

the ChocoZiner to make the last Chicobo appear. If you stand over it

and use the ChocoZiner again, the Chicobo will walk into place and

bowl the others back into the trees. Catch it and the mother will

appear. Use the ChocoSonar in the far right corner of the clearing to

find the hidden location of a METEOR STONE, a FLARE STONE and an

ULTIMA STONE.



'THE ENCLOSED FOREST' [Chocobo's Forest: Expert]

LOCATION: Esthar, Talle Mountains

HINT: "Collect on outer side, then go in."

There are five Chicobos in this forest. There are six distinct

Chicobo locations: (1) on the path in front of Chocoboy, (2) to the

right of the rock behind him, (3) in the far-left corner of the

clearing, (4) on the near side of the rock at the far side of the

clearing, (5) to the left of the rock on the right side of the

clearing, and (6) in the center of the clearing. Begin by sounding the

ChocoZiner at [1 or 2 THEN 3] or [3 or 5 THEN 1 or 2] to get two

Chicobos on the left side of the clearing. Sound at [4 THEN 5] to get

the remaining two 'outer' Chicobos to fall. Sound at [6] to send them

all into the trees and a single Chicobo will drop to the center of the

clearing. Catch it and the mother will appear. Use the ChocoSonar in

the far right corner of the clearing to find the hidden location of a

METEOR STONE, a HOLY STONE and an ULTIMA STONE.



CHOCOBO'S HOLY FOREST

Chocobo's Holy Forest is so sacred and remote it can only be

reached by Chocobo. Catch a Chocobo in the Roaming Forest near Trabia

Garden, ride it southeast across Bika Snowfield to Heath Peninsula,

and head south across the shallows until you arrive at the beach on

the west coast of Grandidi Forest in Esthar. Make your way through the

narrow valley and head northeast through the forest to find it (be

careful, it's very easy to get lost). Visit this forest when you've

mastered all six Chocobo Forests and the mother Chocobos will treat

you to a celebratory dance. After the ritual, talk to the Chicobo and

it'll give you the CHICOBO CARD. On your way out, talk to Chocoboy and

ask for one last 'Help Me'. The master Chocobo catcher will summon a

Chocobo for you to ride out of the forest and bid you a permanent

farewell. (NOTE: From this point forward, you'll need to return here

if you want Gysahl Greens. Each time you enter the Holy Forest you can

talk to the Chicobo and it'll give you one for 600 Gil.)
