[Emerald weapon]

I've started again because my other file is a complete flop(went into future without getting ANYTHING),I used irvine and zell,and i couldnt find the ragnarock.Ultimacea's castle was hard so i gave up.
So with a new file gives new oppetunitys and any advice on anything to do with which characters to use,locations of items/magazines etc. and secrets would go much aprecaited:D

[Captain Maxx Power]

Advice =

- Don't level-up
- Refine Magic from Cards where possible
- Kill off Zell and Squall in Dollet and use Seifer to level up all of your GF's to level 100 (doesn't take as long as you may think)
- Make sure Quelzacote (spelling?) learns Card as soon as possible and use that to kill everything.
- Search around for various items
- Read up on how card rules work and exploit it

Play a lot of card games in balamb at the begining.

[f f freak]

yeah play lots of card games but get the ifrit card first that will make it 10x easier

[Squall_VIII]

You can get a lot of rare cards in Balamb garden such as Mini mog from the man running around the main ring and the Quistis card from any of the trepe's ( in the 2f classroom or the man in the cafeteria.)

Thanks keep em coming!:D (p.s.Do gf's level up quicker when with sefier or something?explain)

It's not that its just that with Zell and Squall KO'd you dont need to worry about them gaining exp and therefore other monsters leveling up aswell.

So what it means is that when you are done with the dollet mission you will have a level <10 Squall but level 100 GFs to fight level <10 monsters.
See where that is going?

Yeah but the monsters that you encounter at the begining except T-Rexaur can all be disposed with one GF atack with or withought level 100.
I think you should level up as you please bosses will still be pretty easy and monsters too at least on this part.

I actually started over too because Ulti. screwed me over. I need to know a few things also-

-How do I beat Ulti?
-And what do I need to do to prepare beforehand?

Thanks! Help would be appreciated. :)

-Don'y equip characters with the draw ability,dosen't help much in this fight.

-Make sure everyone has loads of Aura to blast the limit breaks like crazy.

-Make sure your main party has super high strength to deal more damage.(espacially Squall for this matter)

-DO NOT SUMMON GFs!!!Summon only when fighting Greiver and the screen starts to shake like crazy because he would then use Shockwave Pulsar and would almost wipe out your party in one hit!(my Squall was at lv100 and he caught 8500 damage above:0o:)In other times,if you summon GFs,it would most likely be killed in one hit because Ulti can break the GF defence.

-GET THE LIONHEART.This is a must when fighting Ulti because only the Lionheart weapon can teach you the Lionheart limit.

I was in a rush,so I'll see ifd others can help.I'll post these for now.Sorry if this didn't help much.:(

[Jimmy Dark Aeons Slayer]

Nahhh you don´t need to use Squall at all use Zell and Irvine limit break they are much more reliable, Ultimecia is a pretty weak final boss if you have everyone at lv100 and with good juctionings.

[daggertrepe]

Well, I'm planing on using Quistis and Rinoa. Sooo...um, any good tips for them?

[f f freak]

Yeah make sure that quistis has shockwave pulsar and give Rinoa lots of good healing magic and have her as you healer. also you don't need Squall's Lionheart I beat the Game using everyone's starting weapon.

What level should they be at and what Items do I need?

[Skyblade]

Quistis's best Limits are Shockwave Pulsar, Degenerator (for non-bosses), White Wind, and Mighty Guard.

Rinoa makes a nice magic user. If you're going to use her Angel Wing limit, then load her with Meteor magic, get her magic stat to 225, and watch her demolish everything in her path.

Where do I get shock wave pulsar, White wind, and might guard? Also, what does the angel wing limit break do?

[Xurts]

How can you not beat Ulti? Seriously. Get Irvine and Zell (since they have multi-hitting Limits), summon Cerebrus and triple cast Aura and just beat the piss out of everything. Summon Doomtrain to make the fight even easier. If that doesn't work then your Junctions suck horribly.

Your levels mean nothing. You could have a level 8 party and still pwn Ultimecia.

Well I'm gonna level up just to be sure. And I guess I'll get all the GF's too. But I'm using Rinoa and Quistis, so I dunno what to tell you. I guess I'll just use Invincible Moon and pwn with Aura and Rezokuken. Oh, and Bahamut, too. :) And I'll have to get 100 megalixers too...

Have Rinoa use Invincible Moon and Angel Wing. Wishing Star is pretty good too I think. As for Quistis, definately Shockwave Pulsar, White Wind, and Mighty Guard. You can mod Bahamut's card into the 100 Megalixirs that you want.

Quistis will learn Shockwave Pulsar from 1 Dark Matter. To get that you have to have Siren at level 100, then refine 100 Curse Spikes into a Dark Matter using Tool-RF. Dark Matters refine into alot of other useful items like Shaman Stones and 100 Ultimas too. They are very useful. White Wind is learned from 1 Whisper. You can steal that from Adamantoises. Mod 10 Behemoth cards into 1 Barrier, that teaches Quistis Mighty Guard.

Modding the Gilgamesh card into 10 Holy Wars would be a good idea also, if you haven't done it already. Kiros's card can be modded into 3 Accelerators, which teach a GF the Auto-Haste ability.

That, and the Meltdown + Cerberus + Aura + Limit Break strategy should take you pretty far. When you get to Ultimecia's final form you can draw and cast Apocalypse on her. That will do some pretty nice damage.

[Rocket Edge]

As they mentioned, play an extreme ammount of cards before you leave for timber. Do this, and nothing really else matters, the game is a breeze, whether you level up or do whatever else stated.

Shockwave Pulsar is obtained from Black Matter, which is refined from 100 Curse Spikes by Siren's Tool-RF, but Siren must be level 100 to refine it.

White Wind is obtained from the Whisper, which you get by mugging an Adamantoise (those annoying turtles).

Mighty Guard is obtained from the Barrier item, which you get by mugging or defeating Behemoths.

And Angel Wing is essentially a Magic version of Berserk. You will lose control of Rinoa, but her magic attacks become much more powerful, and she will automatically cast any type of spell in her inventory. However, the magic she casts while in Angel Wing status will not reduce the number of that spell you have stocked. So load her up with Meteors, and watch as she unleashes total devastation on your enemies.

Stock up on magic.

Thank you for stating exactly what I just said in my earlier post.
