Why Doesn't Diablos Work On Ultimecia

well, there is a way (though it is rather cheap.)

first, kill off your people until you have squall , zell , and quistis in your party (my favorite party. also, dont forget to junction them properly.)

use cerberus, and doomtrain, then cast haste, regen, and aura on your characters. have quistis use blue magic, mighty guard (or big guard? whatever it is in ff8) to reduce damage.)

then , renzokuken and duel her to death. its very cheap, but you really cant lose, unless you mess up and she actually gets to use apocalypse. (btw, use meltdown on every form, so your attacks do alot more.) quistis can use gatling gun, homing laser, or better (if you somehow got it ) shockwave pulsar. dont forget to re-apply haste, aura, etc if it wears off.

and, on her final form, kill of the little thing that hangs off of her so she doesnt use apocalypse.

plus, if you have bahamut's card, you can mod it into 100 megalixirs.

this is also what i used on omega weapon...


(i didnt find this game too challenging...at least near the end of the game anyways.)

if you cant find those magics, go to the islands closest to heaven/hell. use enc-none, so you can just draw magic w/out having annoying lv100 monster attacks all the time. (theres a map in the "best place to level up" thread that shadow heart found. just in case you didnt know where to find those really really awesome islands.)

nyaon~~^^; =3!

for the Sorceress..all you need will be Treatment ability So U cast any Limit Break you like after her notorious Maelstrom...and also Recover Ability....that is the way for the first battle..

I heard there is a really ultra rare item called 'sorceress doom' which can kill ultimecia in one hit. I cant remember though which final fantasy tip site I read it on though.

[Squall Lionheart]

I don't think that's true...

Yeah you could be possibly right. Some of the stuff I have seen on game faqs has been utter garbage.

Diablos' ability takes 3/4s of health from the enemy you hit. I don't think that it would be balanced if you could do that to a boss monster

[ThroneofDravaris]

No matter what enemy you use it again, the damage is capped at 9999. So it wouldn't really be that unbalanced to allow players to use Diablos against bosses when you consider that you can do several times that amount of damage with a single Limit Break.

[John Smith]

But to use a Limit Break you need to have either critical HP or use Aura, so it's more riscky. Plus, you need to have some rare items to forge the Lionheart (Adamantine x2)

[ThroneofDravaris]

It's not risky if you only put one character on critical, and Aura is pretty easy to come by at the end of the game.

Plus you don't need the Lionheart in the slightest to cause more than 9999 damage. Decent strength will see Renzokuken hitting for 4000+ damager per hit.

The easiest way to beat a boss,( or any body at that), is to keep Squall's health yellow, that way you can do a limit break every turn, this is also a good way to survive on "The Island Closest to Heaven".I know it sounds fishy, but it works, besides, it's fun to use the Lion Heart over, and over, and over!

You ok?

That's just boring and annoying...Nearly as stupid as the Kamikaze Revive way...
There are too many ways to defeat monsters and bosses other than a single boring constant pattern...

As for GF Diablos...with enough experience will damage the enemy's full HP if it's below the maximum damage...If not then Diablos will cause maximum damage at every summon until the enemy is defeated...

*sniff* it's not booring *sniff*

[John Smith]

Yes it is. It's as boring as using Quistis' Degenerator. That's more efficient If Degenerator doesn't work, you can always use Lv ? Death (Useful for monster packs)

[Cloud101]

You could use shock wave if you have it(It's her strongest LB!)

I like to use degenerator on the malboros in grandidi forest. I mainly use this method to power level up late in the game with stat boosting gf's. But I dont just go about just dishing out limit breaks to all enemies as the game will lost most of its challenge.
