Okay, I finally gave in and checked my friend's FF8 guidebook and it wasn't much help either. All it said was to cast regen on all the characters and keep attacking, but that's only if you have really high HP and my characters don't so I'm thinking that I'll probably have to start over and just get my characters' levels up. Besides, I want to get the characters all of the really good weapons mentioned in Weapons Monthly first issue, so maybe that will help too.:D
Easy:
1) don't use any magic that effects all enemies otherwise you'll hit Rinoa with it.
2) Junction a couple of GF's to Rinoa by then you should have all of them so theres two each for the characters (all party members wether fighting or not)
3) Cast Curaga on Rinoa as Adel steals her life another way is to cast Regen on her as well.
4) have Irvine in your party as he is the most important character in this battle, make sure he has the Exeter rifle (ULTIMATE) and some Pulse ammo (this because it does 9999 damage per hit) Cast Aura on him too as then limit break more often (like every turn) use shot as it can be targeted just make sure to use the targetting window for it (press L1 in battle)
5) Don't let Irvine die or Rinoa die keep scanning Rinoa to get her health
6) Only use normal attacks with Quistis and Squall (this is two members of the party pre-determined your party prior to this should be Squall, Rinoa and Irvine.
7) plug away with the Aura, Shot, Pulse ammo combination untill Adel dies
First time when I had to battle Adel I had to start the entire game all over again because my characters weren't strong enough. I got really frustrated when I couldn't bring her down because I got really stuck up on using GFs and I'm not use to not using them. >_<
The same thing happened to me. Only that instead of starting over i just got the lionhart.
Ok. Junction 100 Quakes to Zell's Strength. You can get this magic by refining the Sacred card (red armored Brother) into 100 Dino Bones which you then refine into 20 Quakes each using I believe Time/Space refine ability learned from Diablos. Then, junction Catuar GF to Squall (or whoever has the most HP [you can junction Curaga, Tornado, Life, Full-Life or Ultima to HP to crank it]{also, the Brothers HP+80%}) and Kamikaze Adel. This should do at least 36000. Then have Zell (who should have a Str. of about 255 now) pummel Adel with physical attacks. Also, I believe that you can target one enemy for Duel. (Zell's Limit Break) If so, DO IT! Have your third character use healing items/magic on Rinoa. Adel should fall and you should laugh at how fast this works.
Also, you may want to restart your game since you missed out on Leviathan. I heard that you can get him in Ultimecia's Castle though. So you can wait. (maybe) Also, don't bother with the Deep Sea Research Center for Eden. Draw him from Tiamat in Ulti's Castle. But do go to the Deep Sea Research Center for Bahamut. Go to the Island Closest to Hell and kill things for tons of EXP so you can get to level 100. And tell me that you got Laguna's card from Ellone. It refines into 100 Heroes which makes the final battle a snap.
I am done preaching.
Try casting meltdown on Adel, have somebody with recover cast it on Rinoa periodically, have Irvine use his limit break alot but be sure you use AP ammo so you don't accidentally hit Rinoa.
Joel, she missed Leviathan. Post a different strategy. (but the Meltdown thing is true, that will make Zell rawk her [explitive deleted])
Hey, Ansem, I have Leviathan now since I started over. Also, what did you mean by "the island closest to hell"? because I really need to get my characters' EXP up. I don't have the Laguna card. When can I get it from Ellone? Oh, and I'm not planning on using Irvine, Joel, because I don't like his attitude. ^_^ it's a weird thing I have, I hardly ever use Irvine because I don't like him.
theres two islands with extreme monsters, not to mention that the eintire island is covered in hidden draw points (on the worrld map there are hidden draw points everywhere). These two islands are the island closest to heaven and the island closest to hell. I'm giving you a link to someones site, and they've graciously mapped out all the world map drawpoints, and show you where these two islands are.
Islands and draw points
if the link doesnt work go to http://members.fortunecity.com/butte.../worldmap.html
You can get laguna's card playing ellone in the space.
Ellone can only be challenged a few time on the ship i would do it when you first meet her in her room.
Thanks for the map, Daryn. The link worked. I'm going to go to those islands as soon as I can. I wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me. I think my real problem was that my characters' EXP was waaaaay too low, so I'm going to fix that. I probably won't post in this thread again until I beat that stupid sorceress and hopefully I won't need help again!
~~Thank you, everyone!!! ^_^
Glad to be of service! *tips hat*
