If you're lucky, you could get aura from mighty guard, then bev lucky again and get invincible moon. As far as I know, your status can't change at all when invincible, meaning aura stays up until invincibility wears off. You'd need a lot of luck, but it could work.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
Okay, so I beat Mobile Type 8, finally. This battle was incredibly fun, since it relies so heavily on timing and strategy. Rinoa and Irvine are both equipped with the defend abilities. Irvine has Auto Shell and Rinoa has Auto Haste. As soon as the battle starts Squall and Irvine attack Rinoa and bring her to low HP. I then wait for Irvine's ATB gauge to get almost full and then I have Rinoa use Angel Wing. Irvine immediately uses recover on Rinoa and Squall uses a shell stone on her. She can now survive two hits from Twin Homing Laser. Rinoa proceeds to pound mobile type 8 into the ground with meteor twice. She has auto haste so my characters can't heal her before she uses meteor a second time and thusly, Rinoa dies. Irvine then uses revive on Rinoa. About the exact same time as this Mobile type 8 switches attack modes. Rinoa and Irvine defend while Squall uses a shell stone on Rinoa and then tries to steal laser cannons from mobile type 8 (if you attack the main part of him when he splits into three he does not counter attack) . Then Corona is used. Irvine uses Recover on himself, Squall uses a Hi-Potion on Rinoa. As soon as Irvine gets another turn you must put him back into defend mode. Squall has low HP, but since Irvine is in the middle and has the cover ability Squall will not get hurt until Mediggo flame is used. Irvine doesn't take any damage while covering him because he is in defend status. It's too dangerous for Squall to use limit breaks at this point, because I can't risk getting a finishing blow that hits everyone, because mobile type 8 will counter attack twice and the second counter attack will hit someone else, and they need as much HP as possible. Instead I had Squall use holy stones and flare stones. It does more damage than renzokuken anyway, because Renzokuken can be used only once before Squall is killed. I can usually get in two holys/flares before mediggo flame is used. Once mediggo flame is used Irvine uses revive on squall and then Squall attacks Rinoa. Rinoa uses Angel Wing and Irvine recovers Rinoa. After that, the battle repeats itself. I just use the same strategy over and over until he (or, in most cases I) die.
So there we have it. The battle was a bitch, especially since Rinoas Meteor attacked 3 people instead of one, which means my best offensive character was 2/3rds less useful than she was before. Strategy is all I needed, though. Once I figured out how to beat him I didn't need invincible moon or the luck that came with it.
I also beat Seifer. He was a joke. Gilgamesh made short work of him. Now I'm on disk four, getting ready to fight Adel.
Wow, good job! And I'm glad to hear that you didn't need to use Invincible Moon!
Oh yeah... and I forgot that Adel was on disc 4, not disc 3. So... I guess Mobile Type 8 was the hardest boss on disc 3, right?
Oh, and Quistis's Mighty Guard will probably be useful against Adel. Adel can cast Quake, after all (I'm not sure if she can use it at this low level, though... but since Ultima Weapon could, I guess she can as well).
Yeah, she can, but still Float can take that easily, the real problem here is that you cannot use Angel Wing like always
nik can't use Float as that is 'in battle magic'. Good luck with Adel. It should be quite fun, seeing as you can't cast Regen on Rinoa.
Yup, a epic battle comes...
Man you guys are to good i got my final fantasy and my psx died i didnt got the chance to kill omgea and ultimecia :S
now the damn thing will do everything only ending battles doesn't work
i am getting the real FFVIII now and play the game with my ps2hopefully it will work and il be able to beat the game a couple of times
pointing at the first page of the topic :P
Hey nik, are you going to write a guide on this or something?
He can, however, use Recover on her.Originally Posted by Endless Twilight
He can, however, use Recover on her.
That'll take away a players turn everytime your forced to use it. If Adel absorbs once a turn and nik uses recover once a turn then effectively niks losing one character in this battle seeing as they are there to consistantly heal Rinoa
Why use Recover once a turn? You only need to use it 1 or 2 turns before Adel has absorbed so much HP from Rinoa that she'll die the next time Adel uses Absorb.
Tbh i forgot what sort of damage Adel does to Rinoa. And how much HP Rinoa has in this battle
"Out of the frying pan and into the fire" kind of sums up what's just happened to me. Adel is freaking ridiculous. She's the hardest boss in this challenge thus far. Hell, she's ten times harder than Ultima Weapon. She's absolutely blowing me out of the water. I don't even stand a chance against her. She starts off using Meteor, which kills everyone but Irvine. If I'm lucky I'm able to get Quistis to use Mighty Gaurd and that may save someone. However, I'm not safe for very long. Her Quake spell is guaranteed to wipe me out unless I have float, but mighty guard doesn't always cast float. (In fact, it seems that the rate in which it does cast float has decreased since the battle with Ultima Weapon)
The problem is that Adel moves so fast I never get a chance to attack. Not to mention the fact that she is constantly healing herself. Rinoa has a good deal of HP, around 6,000. Adel uses absorb and takes 500 or so damage from rinoa, so I definetly don't need to heal rinoa every other turn. I've also found that Quistis' Homing Laser does a good 2,100 damage to Adel, but I'm usually so busy staying alive that I never get a chance to use it.
What Items teach a GF Auto-Shell? I'm considering having everyone equipped with Auto Shell so that instead of using Mighty Gaurd every other turn (since every other turn someone is dead) and I can just focus on attacking.
I need strategies for this one, guys. This makes the level one Ozma challenge look like a complete joke.
Update: Adel has been beaten.
Seriously. I got extremely lucky and took her down in four hits. I didn't get a chance for Quistis to use Mighty Guard at the beginning of the battle, so when Adel used Meteor I was certain that the battle was going to end. Thankfully I didn't restart. For some reason, most of the damage was focused on Irvine, and everyone was left alive. Quistis had four HP and was in Aura status. (Squall has initiative and his first action is to use Aura stone on Quistis) I used homing laser which did 9,999 damage because of Quistis' extremely low HP. I had Squall then use a Mega potion and I had Irvine use AP ammo on Adel. Everyone is at full health and Adel wastes a turn using flare on Quistis. Quistis has Auto-Reflect so it bounces right back and hits her. It's Quistis' turn and she is still in Aura status so I use mighty gaurd, and I got lucky. Float, Haste, and Aura got cast on everyone. I was just in time, too because soon afterwards Adel used Quake which would have wiped my entire party out because nobody was defending. However, it did zero damage due to float status. Irvine uses AP ammo again which probably dealt a good 2000 damage to Adel. Quistis then used homing laser, dealing over 4,000 damage to Adel and that finished the battle.
Now I'm off to fight a billion sorceresses.
Edit: And I've just killed a billion sorceresses. I'm almost done.

This...is amazing. (And do you plan on making a guide)
Don't let up now! You're almost there!)
