Zod doesn't need help from pathetic humans. All you have to do is kneel before Me.

And now my help ask question for FF VIII. I want Bahamut, but I cannot seem to beat him, he keeps killing me with his Mega Flare. Please help me.
Moogle:
1. Catlike creature. Has a large red ball on it's head attached by a long hair. Some can fly. Some can fight. Some are lazy bastards. All say Kupo (or Puu)
I'll fill in for lonely because we all did it in the last thread anyway.
Bahamut is pretty strong but the only thing you need to worry about is Mega Flare, everything else should be doing next-to-nothing damage. The easiest way is to get a GF to block. I'm also pretty sure that Shell or Protect would help against it. Bahamut also has pretty limited HP so Aura-ing Squall early on and just letting him do his thing usually sufficed for me. If your Zell has a good strength stat, then you could use Armageddon Fist which is more than enough to take out Bahamut.
For those having trouble with the Ruby Dragon's final attack of Meteor, just Card it (or if you already have it, use Devour, although I don't know the effects of Devour on Ruby Dragon). Just thought I'd give that little tip.
:shoot:
About Bahamut:
1. You can draw Curaga AND Full-Life from him, so you can heal for free.
2. His max HP are 90.000 so even at a high level he can't take very much.
3. You can slow and blind him (50% chance). Dommtrain and Meltdown work as well.
4. Casting Haste on your Characters may help (especially if you cast Slow on Bahamut). Protect and Shell are useful too.
5. Use G.F. and limits (Squall even has a different animation). If you need it cast Aura.
6. His MegaFlare does 4000+ damage so keep at least one character at about 6000 HP.
P.S.: I guess single Threads for each problem would be better...
i hav a question, how do you beat the omega weapon (the one in ultemecia's castle)? I'm not very gd at FF8, only recently managed to get the hang of it. Any help would b appreciated!
Easy ways:
1. Selphie's "The End" might work. But I've only heard that...
2. Refine the Gilgamesh card to get 10 Holy Wars. Junction 100 Deaths to St-Defense if Death Lv5 can hit your characters.
Now cast aura or have your characters at low HP before you use the Holy Wars to be able to use Limits. Now you just have to use the Holy Wars at the right moment (when the previous Holy War lost its effect) and you won't have a problem.
There are some strategies to beat Omega Weapon the hard way without making your characters invincible but the rewards for beating it are hardly worth the effort.

What if he don't have the Gilgamesh card and don't want to rely on luck to get the cheapest move in the game?
Good junctioning is the key to win every battle in this game with ease.
Make sure you have alot of magic to junction + characters at high level. Then he should be pice of cake.
Also... remember that Omega attacks in a special order...
Omega Weapons attacks and how to avoid them without using cheap hero items:
1) lvl 5 Death. Either, don't be at a level multiplised by 5, OR junction 100 Deaths to your stat-def.
2) Meteor. Have high spr (shell halves the dammage).
3) Megido Flame. This is Omegas mos deadly attack. It does exactly 9998 dammage to the party and neither protect or shell will work. To survive... either Block with a GF or have 9999 HP before the attack (make sure to heal with megaelexir after this attack, but you may wait until Omega Weapon does his next move since it won't hurt you at all if your hp is1).
4) Gravia. This attack dammage 3/4 of your current HP (this attack can't kill so if HP is 1, this attack will do 0 dammage).
5) Terra Break. This may be your end. If you'r not prepared that is... but all you need is the ability Defend. If you use Defend when Omega Weapon uses Terra Break... then you will take 0 dammage! So you should get the Defend ability to as many party members as you can.
6) Ultima. Same as Meteor.
7) Ligth Pillar. Since this attack does 9999 dammage to one of your party members, no matter what, the one who is hit will die. But worry not, since Omegas Ligth Pillar is predicable, you just need to be prepared to revive the one who dies.
After all this Omega Weapons attacks will repeat... all but lvl5 death, so you will always be prepared. Oh, and one more thing... He may use a psychical attack at random(wow RANDOM) betweene the other moves, but don't worry, it's a weak attack and it may miss!
Location: Ultimecias Castle
Draw: Flare, Holy, Meteor, and Ultima
My personal, special way to figth him with only 2 party members without spending magic: Have 2 party members junction the Defend, recover and revive abilities. Now FIGTH! after Megido Flame your 2 characters will have 1 HP, now's the time for the LimitBreaks! (Have high Evade so that IF Omega use his normal attack at this time, then it will miss) after Gravia, make sure to Defend. As soon as Terra Break is casted, then use recover to restore HP fro 1 to full, after the Ligth Pillar, use Revive. Then Keep going this way until you beat him!
Don't you have something else to say except kneel and kneel.. :rolleyes:
anyway..Ultima you should make really a faq on it..
"People Always Lie" - House MD.
You should still be able to get the card at that point (if you have the PC verison you could also use the Chocobo World trick to get 10 Holy Wars in no time). And I don't know why you have to rely on luck when you use Holy Wars. With the Holy Wars I just needed one single try and WITHOUT using them I felt that I had much luck when I finally beat it after a few tries (but if I had read your tips before I tried it, I would probably have beaten it much faster because when I did it I almost did everything like you just described...).

It's spam is what it is.
You can always use a gameshark to give yourself 100 The Ends in your magic list
When I talked about "luck" I mean "the end". You'll get that if you'r "lucky".
And it's just me who think invinsible making items are cheap.
Yeah, you should make a FAQ. And then about all the Weapons and mabye all the Superbosses. You really know much about it. You are a Weapon-Know-It-All. So,if you do send it to me

Ok, I got it wrong because I didn't even know for sure that "The End" works...When I talked about "luck" I mean "the end". You'll get that if you'r "lucky".
And it's just me who think invinsible making items are cheap.
And yes, those items are cheap!
