what techniques did you use on the last battle in FF8? *SPOILERS*

[Ifrit's Bodyguard]

Megaelixer

[Advent Child]

Kill everyone till I get my good party

Squall: Regular Attack/Recover if need be
Quistis: Regular Attack/Recover/Revive if need be
Selphie: Regular Attack/Recover/Revive if need be

it's not a difficult battle. i eitehr do that or I screw around with irvine's shots.

[Kami]

i hate that random picking party and greiver blowing all of your stocked spells away.

[cheer]

me i killed all my peeps til i got to my party, which is squall, rinoa and zell. (it was kwyt funny to see selphie flailing herself or irvine shooting quistis to kill themselves..harhar just kidding)ü aand then when it was squall-rinoa-zell, squall cast meltdown on edea and then an aura on himself, zell casts protect-shell-haste on himself, rinoa does the same on her then casts them on squall in the next round while zell casts cerberus on ppl. after the "prerequisites" everyone just attacks and squall does his limitbreaks and ppl toss ppl megalixirs just in case fr. time to time and that's it=D haha..ü

[Iceglow]

all characters set up ready to rock and roll, full magic set for everyone and two gfs (expert set up I discovered myself and keep secret but lets say it involved a lot of forget items for my gfs) final weapons on everyone and all limit moves learned and every command unlocked in the castle. whoever I got alongside squall could fight but I tried to get Selphie and irvine (two most useful limits in the game after squalls when all stats are maxed) still didn't have to worry only got upset once selphies full life to stat def got deleted by griever

[DocFrance]

I used the secret yet deadly "Beat-Everything-That-Moves-to-a-Bloody-Pulp no Jutsu."

[Peegee]

Holy post bump.

Here's a challenge. Try to beat the last boss using nothing but berzerk (isn't there some ability that allows this?)

[Flashback007]

I used only three caracter (damn word).
Squall: Lionheart and other things like that
Rinoa: Using her dog for invincibilty and healing
Irvine: Shooting ammo and healing
All their HP were 9999 HP. It took me a half hour. I the last form of Ultimecia, I also drawed Apocalyps. They all survived all the battles and never died.

This party I also used on every battle against Seifer and the other socceres, Edea.

[Ultima Shadow]

Squall: any gunblade as long as it's not lion heart, recover, item and magic.
Quistis: Save the queen, revive, item and magic.
Rinoa: Her best weapon (forgot its name), defend, item and magic.
Me (the player): Blindfold, didn't see anything trough the whole battle and had to figure out the situation by listening to the sound effects.

No hero or invincible moon or wathever invurnable making move. No megaelexirs. Defeated Omega weapon this way too.

[DJZen]

I just used Squall, Zell and Rinoa. I let the other 3 die. For the first heat I just smacked her around with my Gunblade 'till she ran home crying and her big brother came to beat me up. Then I pretty much just used meltdown and hit him a lot. Then when Ulty came back to do a team up move of death I just used meltdown again. I only had about 4 Auras so I just used those for the last fight. Invincible moon came in SUPER handy, but I didn't use Angel Wing 'cause I didn't know how to tweak it at the time.

[Trumpet Thief]

Rinoa and Angel Wing worked wonders for me. Quistis used Shockwave Pulsar, Squall with Lionheart, and Zell with the attacks Booya and th eother one, 'cause they work faster, letting you hit more times, doing more damage. With Selphie I used Rapture, and Irvine, I used Hyper shot. She wasn't tough.

[Plenty_Purple]

I came into the fight with Squall already in 'yellow' so his limit would be easier. Immediantly I cast Holy War (Had 100 of them thanks to refining the Gilgamesh card a few times) and just waited for Squall to finish her off with a couple of limits.

Does kamikaze work? I would think it would be like normal and just remove the character from the battle without 'absorbing it into time'. *shrugs*

[Snappie88]

Just ended my session with defeating Ultimecia. This is what I did.

I got lucky end started with the three males who where far more powerfull than the females (Rinoa excluded).

Irvine was my HP rock, with triple on him and casting shell/curaga/haste/full-life/aura/esuna from time to time. Strength on 71, HP on 9999 and high magic. Speed was average.

Zell and Squall where pretty much the same. Both with Speed junctioned so they where fast even without haste. Also Strength over 170 and both with aura or less HP limit breaking.

That's how i beated her. Just limit break all the way. Even without Lionheart

[unclepodger]

One nice trick is when ulty casts hells judgement, do quistis white wind. It will heal all the characters 9998 hp, effectively nullifying hells judgement. Even better, let irvine use his pulse ammo just before using white wind. You will get a REALLY long time to shoot.

[ChaosCalibur]

Erm, Ultimecia eh?... I myself haven't beaten her until i was at lvl 100 with most characters... Hmmm, First i junctioned my summons to my main party (Zell, ( ZELL ZELL ZELL!!!) Squall and rinoa) I let the rest use a few limit breaks and die... So from there, i just kept everyone at low XP and did limit breaks... not much of a strategy though... Here's a good technique though, junction Drain to your attack, and learn the ability darkside, use darkside and you will drain 9999 HP (From the enemy) and do 9999 damage!(Although it still depends on your stats) But your HP will always be 1000 under your max... Since you drain before you do the attack...
