Acquiring GF Tonberry

[Kamrusepas]

Isn't Tonberry King supposed to appear when you have 20 Chef's Knives?

I have 23 already. I didn't kill all those Tonberries tho, I mugged most of them and ran away [because it takes sooo long to kill one].

Is it essential to kill the 20 Tonberries?

[BG-57]

Yes, killing between 22 and 25 Tonberries or so. TK will rise to take the place of the last one within the same battle.

[Kamrusepas]

Aww, man... Do I have to go back and kill 20 more now?

[BG-57]

Yeah, but you can go back and kill 18 and then exit and save then go back to kill the last few. The game keeps track of Tonberry kills.

[Kamrusepas]

Okay then.

Btw, is there any fast and effective way to kill them? The best I've come up with is keeping Squall's HP on yellow and hitting the Tonberry with a few Renzokukens...

[GunbladeMaster]

i thought you only had to fight 18?
anyways
one u beat the last Tonberry the King will immediately appear

yes keep squall HP low and just have him use Renzokukon
and u should kill it

it takes a long time!
but still...its for a GF

[BG-57]

I've found Demi is very effective on regular Tonberries, as is Diablos.

They're useless on TK though.

The number of Tonberry kills necessary to summon TK varies, but it's rarely less than 18 or more than 25.

I fought him after 23 or so.

[Kamrusepas]

Okay, thanks. I'll go try this out now..

[BG-57]

Good luck. :)

[Kamrusepas]

Yay I got him now, thanks :P

[TR][TD]yes there is an even safer way of killing tonberies:jus use Aura on squall and keep tapping around the others untill you get renzozken.

Not everyone will have 22-25 Aura spells when they first give it a try. ;)

[sub zero]

you can get aura stones by refining steel pipes so i have aout 100 auras on each char.

[rubah]

Going around with low hp is a lot faster xD

[Neco Arc]

i know that the guy who made this thread already has the gf but this for those who have a long time defeating the tonberries

bring quistis and well squall...

have quistis and squall in critical health...

equip encounter none until you get to the statue

take encounter none off...

get into battle (only tonberries appear, nothing else)

have quistis do the first move... if shes not the fastest, skip the other people until she is... now the key to it all... use micro missile... causing over 9990 damage...

next let squall do renzokuken... you see that was easy... tonberry dies within 2 turns... you shouldn't lose any health this way as tonberry is to slow to do anything...

easiest way to kill tonberries without having to summon gfs...

tonberry king has a chance to appear after 15 tonberries are killed... tonberry king is harder than normal tonberries... after ke kills one of your characters, just cast phoenix down and keep on using renzokuken and he dies pretty quickly....

[Russielloyd]

He has 50,00HP but hes very easy...well he was for me anyways. The only time he really hurt was when he used his "Junk" attack and he only used that once.

I beat him with squall on level 14.

[KuRt]

Okay then.

I think a fast way to kill tonberry is to use Demi on them because they have hellish amount of hp. So use Cerberus (Triple to everyone) and then have all 3 of your characters use triple demi. after a while, tonberry will have so little hp that you can just hit him dead.

hope that helps

[TR][TD]im assumeing your fighting him on disk 3 which means you will have the Ragnarock. Which also means that you can go to the island closest to heaven and the island closest to hell which have many different hidden draw points, many of which are Aura

[muzzer]

i thought the number was random because i killed alot more than 20

[GunbladeMaster]

or so it seemed like u killed a lot more than 20 :shifty:

[Russielloyd]

The Tonberry count is random between 19 and 24.

Not only two days ago did i beat him, i think i killed about 22.

[muzzer]

or so it seemed like u killed a lot more than 20 :shifty:

no i did

[GunbladeMaster]

well it doesnt matter
:rolleyes2

Toberrys are evil little green things that want to kill us :twak:

[Laugh at face of Danger]

small/green/vengeful

16 or less to 25 actually... Tonberry King came up for me after my 16th tonberry but i assume he can appear earlier....

Well the amount of times i've played FF8 acquired, ive always had to beat 20 or more Tonberrys.

[Laugh at face of Danger]

same, last time it was 22, but this time it was about 20
