Gaining Diabolos

Have you ever used Laguna and the boys to fight and gain diabolos? I did once in the first dream squence, right before you meet Julia.

Re: Gaining Diabolos

I never thought about that. I usually get him after Cid gives you the *spoiler* or when I'm in the Timber Owls before Squall goes to wake up the "princess"

Diablos gives you some pretty awesome abilities, so I tend to get him ASAP. Never really thought of waiting until you're in the dream world.

Re: Gaining Diabolos

The first time I played the game I wasn't sure what the Magic Lamp was for, so I waited until I was in a Dream Sequence again and used it, and had to fight him with Laguna and company. Now of course, I get him as soon as possible.

I got him before I fought Adel, I wasn't really trying to get him. I was just using him for pratice.

Re: Gaining Diabolos

I always get Diablos a little late in the first disc, usually after getting The Brothers GF.

That way I feel more prepared. Plus it's no big deal to have to wait a little while to get the Mug ability.

But I have never thought of using Laguna and company to get Diablos...maybe I'll try that next time.

Re: Gaining Diabolos

Good lord I hated Diablos. It took me anhour and a half to beat him. It was funny I finally gave up and cast Blizzard for the sheer hell of it and the nhe was like "You're powerfull I'm beaten," and all that jazz. I was like OMFG! COOL!

Re: Gaining Diabolos

If I remember correctly if you drew a demi from him and stocked it then used it on him he would counterattack by casting curaga on the person who attacked him.

Re: Gaining Diabolos

yup tht correct. i use diablos to stock holy magic. if you fight him at like lvl 65+ he has it to draw. very useful on the first disc with 100 holys on each character in the main party . also stocking up demi helps too just for easy healing against him


Also fighting him in the dream world makes him weaker and easier to win against. is a must do for piss-easy wins. though even in the normal world hes not tough. just using attacks and limits and demi stock-cast is simple.


on the 3rd disc also theres a boss just before you fight seifer tht is max damaged by diablos......useful if your not tht strong in the game
