Sorceress Adel

Does anyone know how to beat sorceress Adel on disc 3? I fought her about ten times and she either ends up killling me or I end up killing Rinoa.:mad2:

Cast Regen on Rinoa first. You can get those at FH. Avoid using Renzokuken since you may hurt Rinoa with a Fated Circle/Blasting Zone. Make one party member Irvine, since he can choose his target for his limit break and use another a healer. Adel should be dead pretty easily. Just heal frequently.

Thanks. So, basically, all I have to do is constantly heal Rinoa and try to stay alive but do you know if Adel has a weakness?

Scan her and find out.

Don't junction anything to your elemental attack.

And avoid using attacks that affect all your opponents.

Physical attacks are the best way to go IMHO.

BTW, it is worth your while to mug Rinoa. ;)

And remember that picture as you battle.

I just always have one character with the "recover" command junctioned to them, so I begin by casting regen on Rinoa, using Squall's limit break against Adel, then casting "recover" on Rinoa so that she gets all of her hit points back. The other characters just hit Adel with physical attacks, and the sorceress went down in about 5 minutes. I suppose it helped that Rinoa has the highest HP of any of my characters - 9999. She has HP+80% junctioned to her, as well as 100 Full-Life junctioned to her HP.

Follow these guidelines and you'll be safe sailing: 1. Adel will absorb Rinoa w/ a magic spell, so cast Shell/Regen. 2. Flare and other single powerful magics are suggested. 3. Continue to cast the Shell/Regen combo, or if you want to be safe, use Recover. 4. Use shell on your party as well cuz the sorceress uses nothing but weak magic. 4. Avoid GFs other than Cerberus. Carbuncle can reflect Adels magic towards Rinoa. 5. DON'T LET DOWN YOUR GUARD UNTIL ADEL'S DEAD!!! Can I possibly highlight this more???? So, don't rush the battle, use attacks often, and don't let her risk Rinoa and the crew. Hope this helps.

So by this time you probably have Eden right? DON'T USE HER! Squall should have lionheart, use limit breaks, but make sure regen is on Rinoa, just in case he uses Blade Beam or something. Keep attacking with everybody, and she will fall easily, after all, she only has 50,000 HP. If you fought Ultima Weapon, that is nothing.

Okay, that's all great advice (and the breast implant picture was funny) but the problem is that I'm not very patient. My characters are all barely on level 40 and Adel always ends up killing Quistis first when she uses Meteor. I've kind of already found out about Carbuncle reflecting on Rinoa and I don't know who Eden is. The GFs I have are Quezacotl, Shiva, Siren, Ifrit, Brothers, Diablos, Carbuncle, Cerberus, Pandemona, Alexander, Odin (except it's not Odin, it's the guy who takes over after Odin dies), and Cactaur. I know there's a couple GFs in the Deep Sea Research place but I can't figure out what to do in there. I usually avoid junctioning to elemental or attack or whatever because it gets too confusing, and when I scan Adel it doesn't tell me what her HP is. So, really, I think that I'm a hopeless amateur when it comes to this game.

Well, it should go without saying that using a GF on Adel would be incredibly stupid. (ah, but I did just say it didn't I?)

The draw points in the Lunatic Pandora re-stock really fast. To my recollection, there should be a Meteor draw point just below the screen with the three elevators (and a Curaga, get some of those too), on the stairs. You might need to use that ability that reveals hidden save points and draw points (I'm sorry, I forgot the name)

Anyhoo, draw Meteor. Walk around for a couple of screens. Come back, redraw. Be patient, stock everyone up to the max. Then junction Meteor to your attack stat. Hopefully, that will give you enough strength to defeat Adel.

That Meteor draw point is good, but if you have the patience, equip Encounter None and go back to the world map (if you still can) and search the Islands of Heaven and Hell for hidden draw points. Alternate between them and the Ultima draw point in Shumi village and they should refresh without too much standing around.
If that's too much effort then use curative magic refinement in the abilities menu and see what you can get hold of. I can't remember exactly, but you should have enough tents to get a fair few Curagas, and they should do for now (though I'd strongly recommend going back out and getting better prepared for disc 4). Junction whatever you can to get your characters HP up and maybe Vit too (given your getting killed off by meteor). Then put whatever gives the best effect on Squall's strength and she shouldn't be a problem at all.

I usually do kamikaze on Adel which does a whole lot of damage, then I just finish her off with two of my other strongest characters. You lose a person if you do kamikaze though...

Okay, so, first question: people keep telling me to use Meteor, but wouldn't that hurt Rinoa, too?
Second question: what does Kamikaze do?
Third question: does anybody know what Adel's HP is?
Oh, and Move-Find is what you use to find hidden draw points, Al Bhed.

1.- I think they are not telling you to use the magic, but to junction it in order to raise your strength and consecuently get more chances to beat adel.
2.- Kamikaze will cause extreme damage but permanently remove the character from battle. Even though it's probably the best card you can use to beat adel.
3.- That depends, because as you know monsters level up along with you. however i've seen in many sites that the hp range is between 6000 and 51000.
