I'm in ultemecia's castle right now and I am having fun and all but my characters weapons are on low levels. My characters themselves are at level 40-50. Squall atleast. I need some items and Im sick of using damn GF abilities to turn one item to another. Why do the towns have to be locked?? Help. . .
What specific items do you need? You can "call shop" using the GF abilities and items can still be dropped by monsters in the world map.
"Call Shop"?? Which GF??
:tonberry:
Im not gonna try getting that damn thing. Any other suggestions??
You can buy some stuffs from the "Joker" of the CC groups in your Ragnarok.
But can you specific what you are looking for?
That's the thing. I just need regular healing items...
You can use doom trains weapon upgrade ability if you went to the bother of getting him. Use tonberrys call shop for healing items. Other than that you can use item refine from one of your average GF's. I think its Siren.Quote:

Yeah I guess that's the only way. I don't have Tonberry n'or Doom Train...
Isnt there the item refine from other GF's.Quote:

Carbuncle - Recov Med-RF. That's the only option you've got outside getting Doomtrain or Tonberry or buying items.
Just suck it up and get tonberry. It's not like he's *hard*
:cry:
But, but. I have to kill 20 tonberries. And at my current levels the battles are time consuming. But then again, I might not need this stuff. I zoomed through the bosses in the castle like a mo-fo. But it still is time consuming. Im almost done with this game at a time of 52 hours, but hey. You sure tonberry isn't hard??
Not with irvine and squall and aura.
I've always used Mad Rush for the Tonberrys, but you need to keep count as Mad Rush vs Tonberry King is not the best situation to be in.
Tonberries aren't very hard to beat, either. All you really need to make the battles go more quickly are a few Triple spells and a good stock of Demi.
That's not a bad idea considering they have 15,200 HP at Lv 1 and 35,000 at Lv 100.
I admit, I have a habit of, in my games, turning Quistis into some sort of unholy battle mage--especially when I try to keep my levels low. So, I love it when I have a chance to actually use Demi--when I have my level 20 characters running around the Island Closest to Hell, Demi is quite literally a life saver.
Actually, though, you might not even need the healing items, after all. If you don't use items, just save it for last to be unlocked. By the time you reach Ultimecia's Castle, you should be more than good enough at using magic that the items are basically unnecessary. They can be useful, sure, but you don't really need them--depending on your style of play.
Get Tonberry anyway, though. I love watching the Tonberry King.
Quistis would be better suited to Initiative + high Crisis Level + Degenerator instead of Demi.
Yes, but that just feels too cheap, for me. I don't like to keep people in low health just to use their limit breaks.
when I'm on the island closest to hell I stock up 100 drains and equip them on statis attack. That is my life saver on the island. I never have to heal and if your good you won't ever use magic anyways, unless you like to draw them which I hate.
Time crap huh? That certainly adds a new stance to the whole Time Compression theory. Turns out it's just one giant turd. Who'dhavethunkit?
As for healing I wouldn't worry. Just use Curaga et al. Even if they are junctioned considering it's the last battle of the game, so using them up won't really matter.
I think it's cheaper to use aura. You lose a turn, sure, but you don't have to worry about weak attacks taking you out.
you could try diablos too. (thats what the strategy guide says, though its not the only nor best way..limits work better.)
isnt the tonberry king encounter dependent on the number of chef's knives in your inventory? or is it actually the number of those obnoxious knifing tadpole chefs youve killed? just wondered.
It depends on the number of Tonberries you've killed. The number of Chef Knives in your inventory has nothing to do with it.
The fastest way to defeat 20 Tonberrys is to junction kamakaze (Cactaurs ability) to one of your characters. One kamakaze is enough to defeat a Tonberry, it deals 5 digits of damage. When you get to the 20th Tonberry, beat it the regular way (don't kamakaze your party member otherwise you'll be fighting with only two) and then the Tonberry King comes. Have fun :D
But it would be difficult, better yet too damn impossible to get GF Doomtrain without refining. Doomtrain requires the rare Remedy+ and the only way to get them is by:Quote:

They aren't hard. Just need to watch out for Everyone's Grudge though. It can kill Squall in an instant (I think that attack is based on the number of enemies you have defeated. Not 100% sure though). I always put Irvine in critical and pump Tonberries with AP ammo until he comes to oblivion. :rolleyes2Quote:

He's only on the Ragnarok on Disc 4--and that's if you did the CC Group quest. No quest, no Joker for you.
But, before that, he's in the training center, yes.
Actually im pretty sure Joker is on the Ragnarok even if you didnt do the CC card quest at Balamb Garden. Its the rest of the CC team members that wont be in the ship. Correct me if im wrong, but im pretty sure.
I agree with her...Quote:

Get Tonberry. It's very easy to do. It won't take you more than an hour, hour and a half tops. Just use Renzokuken over and over again and the tonberry is dead.
Damn!! No CC group for me...
So you didn't get rare GF cards?Quote:

I've just got Tonberry after 20 mins. The reason? Good junctions. (SPOILER)I'm Lv20 on Disc 2, just about to go to T-Garden.Quote:

send in Squall and Quistis, both with critical health... Firstly use Quistis' limit micro missile, followed by Squall with Renzokuken (remember to use the trigger). Tonberry dies... The tonberries can't even touch you.
Wont even take you more than half an hour to fight tonberry king...

I know. You don't want to get those extra GFs and rare cards...etc. You wanted to breeze through the game and complete it, right?Quote:

Just cheat like a mothersmurfer like me. In the remaster, they even have a built in cheat feature! I alway knew I was ahead of my time when I embarked on my cheating crusade. :bigsmile:
