Help Final Boss

I haven't used a game guide or anything like that for FFVIII because i prefer to beat the game the first time on my own then use one to get all the sweet things iv missed first time around. I think i am in HUGE trouble and wont be able to finish off the last boss. I had beaten all of Ultimicia's gaurdians but one (didn't unlock the save ability). I decided to go on and try to kill her. I do good on her first form manly using demi till shes low then bio to finish her off. Once the GF comes out i hurt him until he cast his special move. Two of my people are at 10k-1 HP and the other at like 5k. I do alright but eventually he overwelms me and im done for. I use holy tripple casted for like 3.5k a shot. I dont have any final weapons and i only have like 30 ultimas total because i never found anyplace to draw them. I dont think i can do anything to beat the game, does anyone have any solutions or advice i can do? Thanks in advance a whole lot.

Yeah I made it to the end and could of used a bit more powering up. But I found Water to be a strong spell for damage as an alternative for Ultima (which I did since my Ultima's were junctioned to Squalls HP so yeah I couldn't really use that too effectively.) If you have Eden you could use it to help take you through the first 2 forms or so really fast, just remember to boost up a lot. Also if I'm not mistaken every form final boss in VIII absorbs Holy. If you have Aura you could use it to get out some nice Limits for damage for a bit.

Really though in the end for me I just Edened my way through the GF portion and then hack and slashed, casted a few spells, and just slowly ate away her HP for well over an hour before I managed to win eventually.

Eden would be nearly instakilled if you summoned it in the final battle...

I suggest you upgrade Squall's gunblade to Lionheart. That limit comes to be very useful. If you can get Tornado's junction them to strength.

Oh yeah, go to the island closest to hell/heaven, and put on no encounters. You'll find lots of draw points for high level magic there. They're completely invisible though, so just walk over the islands systematically and get them all. You'll find full-life, flare, tornado, triple, meteor, and ultima, among others. The draw points will eventually refill if you wait long enough.

I am right before i fight the sorc right outside her castle is where i saved so isnt it to late to do anything else other then fight her? And the weapon that squall has is the i forget what it is called but it is the 2nd red sword with teh upgraded handle. Ill try using water on her. Oh and i dont have the two gfs that immediatly follow Cactuar and the two gf that immediatly are before Cactuar, no eden:mad2: . So should i just try using water?

It's never too late. You can exist the castle and use one of the dimensional portals to get to a chocobo forest. From here, you can ride the chocobo to the Ragnarok, but you can't enter any towns. You can however still get GF Tonberry, and therefore be able to buy stuff from any shop using his call shop ability. I'm pretty sure you can still enter the deep sea research center too, and therefore get Eden.

Using water sounds like a weak tactic to me, to be honest.

Refine all your cards into magic, you don't need them anymore. I mainly used Lionheart, so Revive is nice to have.

Wow son, you a bigtime beginner. Look I think some else mention this, but go to the island closest to hell and trained there. You can get your characters to a reasonable level quickly. And from the looks of it your going to need it to. You died have way through the final battle. And don't even think about fighting Omega Weapon!

that makes me a beginner how...first time playin through FFVIII ever without any guide/help id say im doin pretty good. Also where is the hell/heaven place?

Lol, wow. You are in BAD shape. Your best option right now is to bring Selphie and have her cast The End. Open the PS1 lid while you are doing her Slots. Right now it would take forever to get to a point where you could just beat her with pure power.

Ya i figured i was in terrible shpae, this sucks really bad. Any suggestions for a quick fix? I have almost pretty much had my fill of FFVIII, not to say it isnt a great game cause it is but I just dont even wanna look at it anymore. I am at the last boss and can't seem to finish her it is really frustrating, any ideas? Thanks in advance

i suggest you go with Xurts theory

Don't have PS1 just playin it on a PS2....I'm going to try to get Eden some megaelixers hopefully that will be enough.

damn, that sucks, the fat ps2 is the only system that doesnt work, the skinny ps2 works if you have that
