General Final Fantasy help

[crashNUMBERS]

I am on the verge of beating 3 FF games but need help on all of them. And I have some support to give more detail. Im going to need major help. I only beat FF7 and I feel wrong ;'(. Here I go...

FFI: Im supposed to enter some tower so I can fight Tiamat but I dunno where I find the item that lets me enter. Big help please...

FFIV: I have to fight the four fiends but when I beat them I had to fight the CPU and I died because it was right after I beat the four fiends. Help...

FFVIII: Same old same old. I have had problems with this boss for a hell of a long time. Adel. I beat her/him once because I used Selphie's "The End" limit. Then there were a series of sorcerers that I had to fight. I was zooming through them but then I died..Apparently. So I need 2 helps. Adel and the sorcerers...

1: Go north from the port town of Onrac up the river. There's a cave hidden behind the waterfall. Go to the bottom-left of the dungeon (there's some treasure and a robot so you'll know what I mean). Talk to the robot. You also need to go to the town of Lefein and get the bell if you haven't...actually, it's easier if you use this website (http://www.planetnintendo.com/ff1/index.shtml).

4: Be sure to bring plenty of Ethers and Potions to cure yourself straight after the fiends fight, because it can be hell. As for the CPU, I think it's easier to quote from a gamefaqs.com guide:


CPU
Hit Points: 20,000.
EXP: 50,000.
Gold: 3,444.
Special Attacks: Globe199, Recover, Wall.

Attacker
Hit Points: 2,000.
EXP: 50,000.
Gold: 3,444.
Special Attacks: Maser.

Defender
Hit Points: 2,000.
EXP: 50,000.
Gold: 3,444.
Special Attacks: Remedy.

Strategy: Ok, this is going to be one hell of a Boss Battle. For starters,
if you kill both Attacker and Defender, CPU will use Globe199 on two of
your party members, causing 9,999 and killing them instantly, no matter
what. He will then revive them both and you'll be back at square one
again, minus two party members. Now, the thing is, Attacker will
constantly attack you, while Defender constantly cures CPU, so if you're
feeling lucky, you CAN keep killing the Attacker and Defender, which
yields 100,000 Experience total each time, so if you wish to rack some
Experience up, keep doing this and keep reviving everyone. Though, if you
just want to beat the thing as soon as possible, you can kill Attacker and
Defender off and try to destroy the CPU off as fast as possible, but
either way, you'll end up killing them once, so you can't ignore this,
unless you take your time and just attack the CPU.

Anyway, have Cecil attack CPU, while Edge Darts Excalibur Swords, (Which I
PRAY you cloned some. If not, Dart something else or have him just attack
normally.) while you have Rosa cast Wall on someone, so FuSoYa and Rydia
can bounce Magic off that person, because CPU casts Wall on himself, which
kills your chance to use Magic, unless you use Wall on one of your own
party members. Then, have Rydia and FuSoYa cast Nuke. (If Rydia knows it.
Otherwise, have her cast Levia or some other Call spell, because Call
spells can go through Wall. It's up to you, but I suggest Nuke, even if
it's a random chance that you'll hit CPU with Attacker and Defender
around.) Anyway, repeat this process and revive any Swooned party members
and you'll be ok. Just keep it up and make sure you can deal more damage
than what Defender can cure or you'll be in trouble. If you can't beat
CPU, try again or gain some Levels and try again and you should be able
to.

8: There's not much I can recommend apart from my usual things. Be sure to have plenty of Aura's from Seifer. Aura up everyone. Cast Reflect also, since a lot of the sorceresses' attacks are magic. Bare in mind that Cure spells will also reflect, so be careful. Also cast either Meltdown (not recommended, I usually have this junctioned to Vitality) or Doomtrain on everything to increase your damage a lot (it's probably the cheapest status change in the history of FF's). You may or may not have trained your characters, by that I mean using the +bonus stats to level up everyone to level 100. Remember that monster levels are relevant, and their stats go up much faster unless you keep up with junctions/have +bonuses equipped on levelling up. Trust me when I say, Adel and the Sorcerresses are the least of your worries.

Go back and save after you fight the fiends, of course.

I use that site all the time actually. But Im confused at what it told me...

Actually -_-;; Im out of ethers and only have a handfull of potions...

I'll try to use that when I play again...

Cast Reflect also, since a lot of the sorceresses' attacks are magic.I could have sworn I had some stored but to my surprise I don't have any aura. But the reflect Idea is a good one. Im gonna try that. But what about rinoa??


Bare in mind that Cure spells will also reflect, so be careful.Even Full-Cure??



You may or may not have trained your characters, by that I mean using the +bonus stats to level up everyone to level 100.Don't worry. I have a lot of junctions. Squall is Lv. 40+ and has around 4000 HP. Zell is about Lv. 32 or something with about 2500+ HP. As Selphie is only 20 and has around 1500+ HP...


Go back and save after you fight the fiends, of course.
Pfft. I wish I could but I don't have any cabins left. I could fight for one as they are easy to fight at the current location but that would be a little hard with only using cure spells...

[TheAbominatrix]

That doesnt negate the fact that saving after you fight the fiends prevents you from having to fight them again after the CPU kills you.

[crashNUMBERS]

True. But I'll have to run away from enemies perfectly...
