I have pandemona, whats the easiest way to get cactuar?
Well you have to fight Jumbo Cactuar, you can fight him by going to Cactuar Island on the Ragnarok and you will see a green dot poping up from the sand, run into it and you get to fight Jumbo Cactuar. If you defeat him the Cactuar GF will be yours, but be careful as he will run away when is hp gets low, and he can use and atack called 10.000 needles which kills one party member, i would recomend using Zells Armaggedon fist and Irvine or Squalls limit break to beat him easily.
if my party is like 50 40 30, should I make them all equal 50 50 50 instead?
Breath is a pretty tough move to deal with at lower levels. Have Quistis at Initiative with low HP and execute Degenerator to take care of Ruby Dragon 1. The second Ruby Dragon gets a pre emptive strike so be careful. Bahamut is much easier then the two Dragons. To battle him you must pick the hidden option after defeating the second dragon
For Malboro I would recommend getting Odin or using the Qusitis Initiative Degenerator method. Don't try to take Malboro out with Renzokuken because he has far too much HP
Well i took him out with the party of: Zell lv 62; Squall lv 83 and Selphie lv.59 all of them had 9999 except for Selphie.But the level of your character doens´t really matter it the junctioning which is important so make sure you have good magic junctioned to your hp and streght and take on Jumbo Cactuar like i said, if you use Zell and Squall limit break you should defeat him before he runs away.;)Quote:

Initiative allows you to atack immediately at the begining of a batle.
Marlboros: The easiest way to kill them is have Quistis use Degenerator. If you don't use her, then you can still beat them. Just Junction Confuse, Berserk, Sleep, and Slow/Pain to your ST-Def-Js. This will make Bad Breath pretty mild, and all you have to do afterwards is have someone use Treatment to get rid of anything else. All you have to do after that is beat on it for awhile. Casting Doomtrain/Meltdown will make the battle go quicker.
Ruby Dragon: As with the Marlboros, the easiest way is to use Degenerator. This works on every random enemy. If you're not using that, then Ruby Dragons are still pretty easy. Easier than Marlboros at least. Before you attempt one, make sure you have high Vitality and Spirit to protect yourself against its Breath attack (I forgot if this causes physical or magical damage, sorry). You can also kill one person in your party. This will make the Ruby Dragon "tame", and it will only use physical attacks, Fira, and Aero. No Breath attack to worry about. Doomtrain/Meltdown work well as always. Other than that make sure to have a good Str and Spd stat.
Bahamut: He is actually a bit challenging. The most important thing to do first is draw 300 Full-Lifes from him, if you don't have 300 already. You can take your time drawing, since he won't do much to you unless you attack him. Once you are done drawing, then casting Doomtrain would be a good idea. It also would be a good idea to put everyone in Aura status and have Squall and Irvine/Zell use their Limits. However, once Bahamut's HP gets low, he will use Mega Flare. This does a couple thousand damage (I think it did around 4000-5000 to me) and it will kill you if your HP isn't high. Once he uses it, immediately have someone cure your party. Selphie's Full-cure would be ideal.
I highly suggest using either Selphie or Quistis for this battle so they can be your support. Quistis should use Mighty Gaurd and White Wind and Selphie should use Full-cure and Wall. It is important to keep your HP high, because Mega Flare does quite a bit of damage.
Full-Life is the best for HP (Ultima is stronger, but it should be used on other things). Other than Bahamut, you can draw it from the Tonberry King if you have a high level. Regen Rings refine into 20 Full-Lifes too. For Strength, Ultima and Meteor are the best. You can get 100 Ultimas from 1 Dark Matter. Meteor can be drawn from Ruby Dragons. Meltdown is the best for Vitality, draw those from Gaylas around the Trabia region. You can also refine them from Mystery Fluids. Triple is one of the best for Magic, draw that from Odin and Cerberus. The next best method would be to refine 100 of them from 1 Three Stars (Squall's card gives you 3 Three Stars). Reflect is the best for Spirit (I think), that is pretty easy to get. Haste is the best for Speed, that can be drawn from Vysages. The only magic other than the ones above that might be hard to find is Aura. Buy 30 Power Wrists from the Esthar Pet Shop. 1 will refine into 10 Aura Stones, which each refine into 1 Aura.
Keep in mind that Malboros often hit you with Bad Breath instantly, before you have the chance to *do* anything. Quite annoying. But as stated above, if you're junctioned properly, you'll be ok.
thank you all so much. I defeated malboros, and did hell lot of gf lv. up and ability learning. I didn't realize degenerator was so helpful:). I have to remember to kill a party member for the ruby dragon because the second one back attacks and uses breath 1st move!! and it does 9999 to all my characters, but I'll be sure to kill zell or something (lil punk). off to bahamut!
Can I ask how breath is so damaging to everyone here? When I was in the Deep Sea Research Centre, when the Ruby Dragons used breath it done like 3k damage max. I had my characters spanning from level 35 to level 47 or something. Maybe that had something to do with it.
But I was amazed when I first cam to this board and everyone was talking about how hard Ruby Dragons were.
It depends on your vitality status i think.
diablos has a good affect on ruby dragon and get the lionheart and stock up on a lot of aura for everyone malbaro put mug on someone and triple on the spd makes em fast so you can mug faster than escape unless you want to fight.ill wait till you get to bahamut.
It's exactly what you said. Your characters were 35-47. I have 2 level 100 characters. Most monsters get higher levels when you do. I believe my ruby dragon that I have to fight is 80? But yours was less, so I get hit 9999 where as you get hit 3kQuote:
