The GF Cerberus!

[Mo-Nercy]

I found Edea & I'm still trying to beat her!

the battle with her is really very long & after all, I'm the one who lose

Any advice?

Edea isn't that hard really. You'll have to fight Seifer again here. He's no harder than he was before, except he's a little stronger but I'm pretty sure he has less HP. Anyway, you can't attack Edea until you defeat him, so do so, but keep your HP at a safe level so you'll be ready for Edea who attacks as soon as Seifer goes down. Edea here is a bit smarter than the one at Deling City. Casting Carbuncle or Reflect won't work, she'll just cast Reflect on herself and bounce spells onto you. At this point of the game, Squall should be your best attacker, doing around 800-1000 damage per triggered attack. It'll do more damage on Edea. She has a low vitality stat. Have one person with lots of Esuna for when she uses Maelstrom (but you only need to use it one Squall, the other two charactersdon't matter.) and another character that's not Squall to do the healing. Recover (learnt from Leviathan) and Treatment (from Siren) helps a lot. Remember to draw Alexander as well.

BTW, you can get Pandemona later on. All the way in disc 4, you can draw it from the bosses in (SPOILER)Ultimecia's Castle.

The first time I played I wasted time with regen and magic.

DO NOT DO THIS, USE ALL YOUR MAGIC IN JUCTIONS.

The second time I beat cerby with one of Zells limits!

Refine curaga from tents at the shop (100 curagas for each character)and junction them to strength.
str junct is developed with Ifrit or you can buy it a pet shop in timber you'll need to do this first.

[Blue Spirit]

Thank you all, I beat her and I -simply- didn't draw Alexander

well I have another problem as usual

Where can I find the White Ship (in Disc 3)? Edea said that it is stationed by an inlet somewhere on the Centra continent, but where's Centra continent first?

[Trumpet Thief]

I do not know the specific location, but keep flying balamb around the water near Centra and you will eventually find it. Although, it will be a little hard to see.

[Blue Spirit]

Where is Centra?

[Trumpet Thief]

You know where the orphanaga (Edea's house) is located right? Along with Cactuar Islands, the place where you get Odin, etc.

The Islands over there is called Centra. You basically go around in the water in the whole place and you'll probably find it. Although I don't remember the exact location of the hip, it is white, and looks thin.

I hope I helped!

[Blue Spirit]

Thank you very much Lionheart, you helped me alot, I found the ship and I'm on my way to Esthar

When I first played FF8. At the Cerberus boss, I only had 1068 HP. Not enough. It was impossible to beat him. But i started a new game and trained and stocked up on magic before I went to The fire Cavern, and I had close to 2000 HP. A big difference. My advice would be to give it all you got, train more, or start a new game and stock up on strong magic. But, if you already beat him, keep all this in mind for the bosses ahead.

[aeris2001x2]

cerberus is a puppy compared to some later bosses. but that said, its possible with good junctioning to beat the game at lv 7, so go for it.

god damn i hate the start of disc 3, damn hidding seed ship.

Till now I have missed 2 GFs, Alexander and Pandemona, this won't be a problem, will it?

Well, as far as battle goes, no, Alexander isn't particularly necessary to beat the game, but he has some important abilities that will help you out later. For instance, he has the Med Level Up Ability that you need to aquire all the items to summon the GF Doomtrain. Also, he has the Revive ability, which comes in very handy in later battles. Finally, he has High Mag RF which lets you consolodate all those middle-level magic spells into their most powerful forms.

Pandemona, although he has some nice character stat-boosting abilites, doesn't have anything quite as important.

[Iceglow]

oh and one (alexander) will kick tonberry ass (they're dark elementals and he's holy) other than that Pandemona is just good for the junctions and high level ochu's but not a marlboro that would actually suggest that you need a sumon by then in which case you shouldn't be fighting one.

[aeris2001x2]

dont worry anyway. as we said disc 4 has them. just find out when u get there which enemies have them. they do have some good junction abilities, but are r nothing compared to the best gfs.

[Blue Spirit]

Oh god I'm feeling sorry coz I didn't get Alexander till now

but it's ok, as u said they're all in disc 4 waiting me

Thanks a lot for all of you guys

Not to torment you or anything but I thought Cerberes was really easy. Just use reflect or Carbuncle to reflect the magic.

[Blue Spirit]

I'm REALLY bad at using magic & fighting with weapons, it's becuase I used to beat battles using just GFs!

well as you said, it would have been easy if I had used magic or something!

Thanks
