perceived the resonance" appears. Go to opening at flashing

object, fight Ruby Dragon (you have no choice). If you are in bad

shape, answer "Yeah, there's nothing we can do". If not, answer

defeated. Give one pressure spot all the time you can. If you do

not, reset at the first steam pressure spot, put Zell in you party and

let him "tinker" with the machine demanding four pressure; you

will get away. Since you lose four pressure the first time you

monsters will flood the area). Set the Move/Find ability to find the

final save spot.

1. Find The Shumi Village in The northeast corner of the map, and once in....

Once you are in the shumi village, go down the elavator. go to the Sculptor's Workshop at the end of the village. After you talk with him, go to the Village Elder. You will be asked to assist the Sculptor in the workshop....

WIND STONE: Left of the Hotel, inspect the stone and Squall will notice a breeze coming from it.

LIFE STONE: Near tree roots to the right of Elder's house

SHADOW STONE: Go back up the Elevator and on the right, search the large shadow cast by the dome above.

WATER STONE: Used for washing, in the Artisan's house by the sink

alright, Now you can revisit the Elder to recieve your reward. but he gives you nothing....cheap bastard. Now, EXIT THE VILLAGE then go back in and talk with the Elder's attendent in the Workshop, revisit the elder. Then go talk with the Moomba outside the elder's house. Follow the Moomba back to the Elder's Attendent. speak with the Attendent and return to the Elder's house, talk with the elder. He will give you a Phoenix Pinion. If you want to keep going....

Return to workshop and speak with attendent. Then go to the Artisan's house next door. return to the elder's house and talk to him. Now....GO TO fisherman's horizan and speak to the grease monkey, across from where you fought the BGH251F2, and get the Moomba Doll. Return to Shumi village and Give the Doll to the Artisan. After giving it to the Artisan, return to the Elder to claim the Status Guard....

 Picture by: DukeNukem55

Go to winhill which is shown in the crappy picture above. or if you can not tell where that is, look on your map. when you enter the town, go directly to the Mansion where you could not enter in this town with Laguana.

Go directly towards the suit of armor, inspect it, and it will brake apart after inspecting more than once. it will be a chicibo, it will leave a vase peace behind, if you follow down the road,

a women will be standing outside, follow her into her shop, check the white flowers at the bottom part of the screen, you will find a vase peice...she will mention something about raine...

Go back to raine's house and go upstairs and talk to the old woman, she will mention something about fragrance of flowers, inspect the flowers on the right-hand corner, raine's ghost will apear, go over, the cat will apear, inspect the cat to find another vase piece.

Then head back towards the place you saw before in Laguana's time in winhill (Chocobo crossing) head towards there and the chicibo will be running back and fourth, run into him, and he will drop a vase piece along with many other items including a phenoix pinion, gasyl greens, etc.

Then return to the house, talk to the man on the stairs and he will give you a HOLY STONE...

Well, Cactuar Island is on a small island south of esthar. you can find it easily because it is samll, desertly, and a green figure pops up from time to time...

First...go get some health things, or the Revive ability..or Phoneiox downs, x-poitions, elixirs, anything that rivive's or rehealth's you...especially, Life and Full-life spells. now, have one character have,(ITEM, MAGIC, and REVIVE or RECOVER or GF) abilitys. and the other characters have all attack ability's (Darkside, GF, Magic, etc.) then go find the green guy. AND YOU BETTER HAVE LEVIATHAN!!!

Well now, first off...the guy with the health items we will call the Medic or doctor. he will not attack at all, NOT EVEN ONCE!!! he has too heal the other two of your buddies, that way...you will never die..because this guy does not attack someone who doesn't attack him. but he has a huge attack called 10,000 needles. now, as the battle starts, have one person start using water attacks and Leviathan, which will cause around 9999 points off damage, attack with that once, then let Jumbo boy kill him, have your medic revive and reheal him, then have the other guy use Water magic or other GF's and physical attacks. or Darkside...(Diablos) Then once the Cactus kills him, summon Leviathan again, have medic reheal the dead guy...then repeat the process untill you get a message that says..."Jumbo Cactuar is hesitating", that means he is about to run away...

now, have your star guy summon Leviathan while the other cast's water magic and have the medic ready to revive. hit him with the Leviathan's 9999 points of damage and another water attack, if he is not dead yet, just finish him off with the Leviathan again..your reward, he joins your team, you get new GF...

Picture by: DukeNukem55

well, the Queen of Cards herself...Your first step in this process is you will find her at balamb at the begining of the game, but don't worry, she will stay there untill you lose or win a rare card from her. once you've done that, speak with her again and she will give you a hint of her next card town. The choices are: Balamb, Dollet, Deling City, F.H., Lunar Gate, Shumi Village, Winhill,and Esthar.

She takes her turn to Dollet...Talk to her and say the 4th option "about your artist father", she will ask you for a specific, rare card..MiniMog card. Lose the Minimog Card to her to advance to the next part...

She will say where she is going, it isn't always right though, so search the 8 cities, from top to bottom, all the way back to dollet, then lose another card, do this 5 times untill you get all the new rare cards her father made...for the one's you lost to her, go find the boy living with the artist in dollet, he has them all, MiniMog, etc. BE WARNED: SAVE OFTEN IN THIS QUEST!!!

Well, first you need a lot of money...duh! and buy Greens.... and after solving the puzzle, always search for the Hidden item, that way, the chicibo's won't hide from you.

Picture by: DukeNukem55

The 1st forest is North of Trabia Garden...

Ok, first, use the ChocoZiner at the spot where the chicibo is standing... (either one) then use the ChocoZiner in the middle of the Clearing. Then at the very bottom-center of the screen, then return to either spot 1 or 2 (the first thing you went too) and use the Chocoziner. Then speak with the remaining chicibo to solve it. also you must find the hidden items...(At the Top of the screen to the left before the snow wall turns to go south.)

Picture by: DukeNukem55

the 2nd forest is at Trabia's West Coast, South of Shumi Village

First, use the ChocoZiner in the center of the clearing. then use it just barely left of the small tree at the bottom left of the screen. Then search for the Hidden item which is at the Bottom left corner.

Picture by: DukeNukem55

The 3rd forest is located Next to shumi village.

Just use the ChocoZiner just a little right of the start of the top-left bank. then find the hidden item at the very top-center.

Picture by: DukeNukem55

The 4th forest is located east of Edea's house...

First, whistle at the bottom-center center clearing, then at the North-West part of the center clearing. Then use it right near the Chocoboy, well, South-East of him. then whistle a the same exact place you just did. and watch the Chocobowling, then find the Items, at the very Right of the screen.

Picture by: DukeNukem55

The 5th Chocobo forest is located South of F.H. on the Nectar Penninsula.

Well, there is only one spot to search...sound easy! nope....you hjave to find the EXACT spot where it is, so just go to the place where the Chocosonar goes haywire. then for the item, the Chocoboy is standing on it, challenge him to play then pick, "Forget it, just move" and search the spot where he was standing to find the item.

Picture by: DukeNukem55

The 6th Chocobo forest is located south of esthar on the south side of the Talle Mountains, hidden by trees.

Well, the hardest one....ok, use the Ziner at the Far left of the Log at the far end of the screen, then head south-east from the spot to about where the chocoboy's right shoulder is and whistle there. then head to the spot, just below the tree stump. then Head to the far right of the log at the far end, then to the exact middle of the Stump, log, boy's shoulder and whistle. then find the Item which is at the top-right corner.

NOW FOR THE FINAL PEICE....THE CHOCOBO SANCTUARY!!!

Once you have solved all the puzzles and found all the items, go back to the 1st forest and get a chocobo from there and ride it down to Heath Penninsula, "examine" the shallow water to find the path that connects trabia to esthar, follow that to the Grandidi forest then directly north of the Grandidi forest is an oversized Chocobo forest(or at the North-East part of Esthar continent)...head into it...then you will see six chocobo's dance and then speak with the chicibo to reicieve a Chicibo card or a Chocobo card, which ever... then speak with it a second time to get Gayshyl greens, but he will steal 600 Gil. to ride back to trabia, talk to the chocoboy or ask a chocobo.

YOU DID IT!!!

 Now enter the area... You will find a light column. When the light

column lightens, it gives a sound.. so don't move. Once the light is

off, just walk.[if you move during the light, you will encounter battles

randomly..]. You need to approach the column.. And you will find a

prompt:

"So you wish to challenge me..."

It's not our will to fight <--

This will led to a fight against a Ruby Dragon. The battle can be a

mean one if your characters are at very high levels with low defense [

Vit stats are critical. The Breath can does a mean damage of 9999 HP

to one character with less than 100 Vit stats.] The higher Vit, the

low the damage that the Ruby Dragon will do. In order to minimise the

damage, the best option is summon Doomtrain [make full use of Poison

Powders and Venom Fangs to boost up compatibility.] As the Ruby Dragon

are extremely to this deadly combo... 100x Sleep to ST-Atk-J.

Doomtrain does not only cast Meltdown [lowers the Ruby Dragon's

defense] and also Sleep. The character with 100x Blind ST-Atk-J combo

must not attack or the Ruby Dragon will awake. While the Dragon is

asleep, cast Aura on Quistis and have her using Degenerator to

eliminate it or have the characters with 100x Sleep to ST-Atk-J to

have the battle in sleep.

"Begging me for mercy?"

Yeah.. there is nothing I can do [you will exit the screen]

Never <-- second battle.

It's getting tougher.. You will face another Ruby Dragon and in

addition, you will face a Back Attack Status. [To counter this, make

use of Cerberus' Awarness]. Just the previous method and you will be

able to finish it. Initative [160 AP, Pandemona, Tonberry and Cactaur]

will be extremely useful.. Try to keep your character's HP maxed out

with Recover.

"Dammed Imbeciles. Why do you wished to fight?"

For the sake of the protecting something

None of the business (leads to another Ruby Dragon fight)

(it's our nature) <-- [this is hidden]

Squall's Level: 100

Boss: Bahamut / GF Battle / HP: 102, 000

Strategy

The Bahamut will generally gives some introduction speech like other

GFs:

Bahamut: "I'm .... Bahamut"

Squall: "The Great GF... Bahamut"

Bahamut: "... GF? I...?"

"Using my powers...."

"It's you humans... I fear..."

Unexpectedly, I did not expect to finish the Bahamut so easily... All I

have an character with 100x Blind to ST-Atk-J and it will miss its

powerful claw swipe (err.. correction it should be powder-ful ^_^;).

That's a method. If it hit your characters, it can does a heavy amount

of damage to your character, about 3000+ HP.. It's Mega Flare does

approximately the same as the Ruby Dragon.. [it's makes it a killer

weapon]. But with the Doomtrain-Cerberus-Aura combo, I have managed to

use numerous Limit Breaks for all characters. Mighty Guard will be quite

useful as it could have all sorts of protection such as Protect, Shell,

Regen and Haste. Next have the two offensive characters, Squall and

Zell. Lion Heart has a high tendency of being used when you are at

extremely critical status. Zell's Armageddon Fist can kill the Bahamut

within a minute. After the battle finishes..

"Have you seen the light?"

========================================================================

So you have gotten one of best cards, Bahamut's Card [which could allow

you to get 100x Megalixirs!]. Now the Bahamut was indeed a great GF [as

it's name described, fancy giving you Ability x4, Str +60%, Mag +60%

which make it an ideal GF.] You can have better GFs if you have use

Amnesia Greens and GF items such as Magic Armlet [Spr +60%], Adamantine

[Vit +60%], Hyper Wrist [Str +60%], Royal Crown [Mag +60%] and you can

get them easily from these major battles. Well, I just copied the

speech down for your hard work:

Another path to your destiny awaits...

You are indeed an interesting one

brimming with passion.

Deep Sea Deposit: Part of Research Quest

To make life easier, just have Zell in the party. After finishing off

the Bahamut, head back to the Ragnarok. Press Circle to proceed to the

cockpit and converse your members. Now returned back to the Deep Sea

Research Center, you will find a hole there and along with a Save Point.

Use a Tent [your energy must have been exhausted from the previous fight

against the Bahamut.] Now it's time for some real business.

Warship Island. Now you will find a Save Point outside the damaged

light system. Proceed and climb down. There you will find a Draw Point

[Dispel] and your members will start to scatter and examine the

equipment. There is an important term, that's called Reserve Steam

Pressure [RSP]. Your aim to go down the pit with 10x RSP left. Just

simply follow the diagram below and you can't not get lost.

========================================================================

Deep Sea Research Center: RSP System (part of Research quest)

========================================================================

Now just simply go down the levels of the research center. In the last

facility, you will have a couple of prompts and pick the 2nd option ("

Leave it to Zell"). After wondering around, Zell manages to reduce the

RSP without using any RSP! [he's pretty good at machines, and plus a

funny scene.. where he bashes up the machine!]

Get ready you necessary preparations.. and you will fight a series

of tough fights [you should bring characters to train here..]. Next

before I begin, there is some reminders:

- Different enemies have different weakness. That's why it required

different strategies and combat methods. I have normally add a "!"

point before I make combinations with the essential requirements

above.

- Ruby Dragons are the only monsters that you need to take care of. So

if you have problems with it, retreat back to the previous levels

and gain a couple of levels. Squall's Lion Heart is vital in

completing this section.

- This place allows you to get great ingredients such as Barriers,

Inferno Fangs, Energy Crystal. The Tri-face typically drops roughly

about 6x Cursed Spikes per victory. [which makes it faster to get

100x Cursed Spikes to be refined into Dark Matter through Siren's

Tool-RF. (GF Siren must be at Lv 100.)]

It's time to go down the pit.. Different monsters await you at different

screens (not areas). You CAN'T run away from these battles. Enc-None and

Enc-Half does no usage here..

In the first screen, you will find a Save Point and the first view of

the Deep Sea Deposit. (!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mini-Boss: Triface

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Equip: Squall: ST-Atk-J to 100x Blind

Quistis: ST-Atk-J to 100x Sleep

Mug, Rare Item and Initative equipped.

Treatment command

Plus all essential equipment listed above.

This battle is pretty easy. You will only need to take note of its

Poison Gas as you can handle the bite attack with 100x ST-Atk-J combo.

Quite an easy battle. The Tri-face only arsenal weapon is it's Poison

Gas, not quite a tough foe.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just simply walk down the stairs and you will reach the next screen

which consists of spiral paths [and that's battle arena #2] (!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mini-Boss: Grendal and Imp

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Equip: Squall 100x Blind to ST-Atk-J, Intitative

Quistis 100x Death to 100x ST-Atk-J

Zell 100x Holy to Elem-Def-J

100x Thundaga to Elem-Def-J to all characters.

This part can be quite easy too. Grendel can does a massive damage of

4000+ HP damage to a character with low Vit with it's Tail Blade. To

prevent that from occuring, you need to make full use of this technique.

Don't bother to attack with Quistis and Squall, Allow Zell to do the

attacking [The Imp can will counter with Holy who defeat it..] Just

have Squall and Quistis attack the Grendel.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

After you reach the winding path, you will reach an area where you will

find a draw point [Triple] and a statue next to it. (!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mini-Boss: Random Fight

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Equip: 100x Sleep to ST-Atk-J for all characters, Initative for at least

one character

Draw command, Mug, Rare Item, Initative.

The battle is perhaps an easy battle. Using 100x Death to ST-Atk-J could

killed off the Behemoths with one hit, but consider that it would be

better if you could kept in sleep. As the Behemoths could does a

disasterous damage with its Meteor and Assualt Horn. By keeping it at

sleep, you can have better EXP [the more attacks you have inflict, the

more EXP you can get.]. Plus, if you managed to get 50x Barriers, you

can get quite a good rare item along with a huge sum of EXP.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a huge fall of Behemoths slaughtering, its time to face another

tough cookie. (!). The path is long enough to last for two Ruby Dragon

fights.

Mini-Boss: 2x Ruby Dragons

Equip: 100x Sleep to ST-Atk-J to all characters. Initative for at least

one character. Draw, Doomtrain, Revive, Recover. Auto-Haste and

100x Triple to Spd-J for other characters.

100x Firaga to Elem-Def-J

The toughest is here.. Yeah. The Ruby Dragon's Breath can does a

monsterous damage to 9999 HP damage to a Vit 99 character. The higher

the Vit, the less damage you will get. Your aim to have the Sleep

status on the Ruby Dragon, casting Sleep magic will not do much

compared to ST-Atk-J <-> 100x Sleep Combo. After it is asleep, summon

Doomtrain, whereas the rest awaits and stock precious spells such as

Flare and Meteor. You will be able to kill easily... Don't hesistate to

waste 1x Aura spell for each battle on Quistis as you could dealt an

instant death attack with the Ruby Dragon

Not sweat right? Yeah.. my party's HP is still full from the previous

battles. Anyway, this last arena is also quite easy if you know how to

play.. PS: check the rock found near the ending path and you will

uncover an Ultima draw point!

Mini-Boss: 2x Iron Giants

This battle again is free gift battle.. Just simply attack and you can

even keep them off with in a few minutes with Limit Breaks. That's a

cheap shop. The Iron Giants could cast a tough spell, Mighty Guard.

Make use of a couple of Dispel. It will be better if you have all

characters with ST-Atk-J. Let them sleep until they die! But I would use

the above equipment to upgrade my characters.

Now finally, we have reached the deposit. There is a huge crystal on the

top left hand corner. Yeah.. an secret boss is embedded in it. This area,

you may still encounter no monsters. Just equip Move-Find from GF Siren

and use it and you will find a Save Point. Use it and make these final

preparations.

100x Ultima to Str-J for all characters [even it is not, just do this.]

100x Quake to Elem-Def-J for all characters.

100x Meltdown to Vit-J for all characters

100x Triple to Spd-J for two characters [Squall and Zell]

Quistis will Initative and Auto-Haste, Mighty Guard

Zell, with another Initative and Aura

Squall, with Lion Heart.

Give everyone the following command screen:

Squall: Attack, Magic, Revive, Item [must have 100x Ultima]

Quistis: Attack, Magic, Draw, Item [if does not have 100x Ultima]

Zell: Attack/Mug, Magic, Recover, Draw

Now examine the machine and make it to use up the remainding RSP and

it's the first battle against the WEAPON! [Ultima Weapon is back!]

Boss: Ultimate Weapon / GF draw / HP: secret

Strategy tiparos(what the)

This battle is crucial for those who have not save the game as if they

did not, they have start all over the game. The Ultima Weapon is tough

as it will be better if you have gotten the remainding GFs first before

you fight. First of all, let's analyse its attacks:

(Sword Swipe): one of most damaging attack that could pack as much as

1000+ HP to a character with 200 Vit stats.

Gravija: A very powerful attack that does damage like Demi-All.

Practically wipe out about 3000+ ~ 5000+ HP for all

characters. The only way to counter this is by casting

Mighty Guard [regen status] and follow by Curaga. I

think it looks like the Shadow Flare in FF7.

Quake: Earth-Elemental damage against all characters which in

terms could kick the butts of low HP characters at one

shot. Make use of 100x Quake to Elem-Def-J to absorb the

damage.

Light Pillar: A deadly attack of 9999 HP to characters below 200 Vit.

Very deadly as you need to have a lot of Life spells to

remove K.O [actually it is helping you to get Limit

Breaks ^_^;]

Here is the method. First, cast Aura on Quistis and have her cast the

Mighty Guard on your party. Next cast Meltdown on the Ultima Weapon. If

your damage are strong, the Ultima has a high probability of using the

Light Pillar. Get the other character to revive that character with

Life or Revive [make sure you use a Aura after that.]. Have Zell and

Squall do the attacking whereas Quistis as the healing member on the

character with lower HP or stock Ultima. [Her HP is be kept at the

maximum]. Remember to draw Eden from the Ultima Weapon!

Have Squall kept on unleashing Renzoukuken and Zell on his Armageddon

Fist. The Quake can also be a helpful weapon in terms of curing your

wounded members. But be careful of Meteor as it could does 1000+ damage

to a member [but Regen should be able to reduce to 500 HP. But it will

be better to have Auto-Potion]. Gravija, the most danagerous group-

effect weapon, I would recommend to cast Curaga on the entire party.

(every member stop or left one character to attack). If both members

dead, use a Phoenix Pinion to inflict damage on the BOSS plus it

revives dead characters. Remember the lower HP, Squall and his members

have, the higher the chances, he will uses the Limit Break, Lion Heart.

I take two Lion Hearts to defeat it at Level 100.

GF Eden is even more stronger [in fact, it is the best GF that you can

get in the game] GF Eden can does over 9999 HP damage and you can boost

it up to the maximum 250. Plus it has a couple of good abilities such

as GF Abil Med-RF, Expend 3x-1, etc. This GF can also be your most

devastating weapon next to Limit Breaks.

For those who don't like to go all that trouble in the Deep Sea Deposit,

here is a little cheat. First of all, Zell must not be in your party...

Next follow the steps here:

At the floor where you first entered the underground basement, you will

still do the same procedure by getting 16 RSP from the main machine.

Next proceed to the first floor and use 2 RSP in the next steam machine.

Now on the 2nd floor, observe carefully as there is another machine

under the stairs! Activate it [requires 4 RSP] and you will be able to

enter the door on the left. There is a machine and a draw point [Esuna].

This machine will replenish 7 RSP. Now return back 2F. Now keep on

using 1 RSP for each floor. Next you still under up at the machine where

Zell will meddle with it. Now use it and you will still have 10 RSP!

That's sufficient for the steam machine. Now here is problem saving

part. Equip Enc-None and you will encounter no battles. At the basement,

you will be able to fight the Ultima Weapon! Refer to the strategy

above.

(only odin right now, tonberry coming soon)

The Centra Ruins is found somewhere in the Centra region (Centra

Crater), south of the world. It's on one of those islands. The structure

is a bit kinda strange. It's also called the "Blue Heaven"

Enter it and notice that there is a timer which last about 20 mins. Make

sure you have accquired the Diablos' Enc-None Party Ability (equipped

under the character's section). The monsters here are pretty tough.

Watch for Tonberries [remember those tough cookies which can be morphed

into a Ribbon found in the Northern Crater of FF7?]. Now enter the ruins

and take the stairs leading right. It's possible to GF Tonberry at Disc

2 but you need to free GF Odin before you could get this GF. So that

means you must finish this quest within the 20 minute time interval or

your party will be killed by the Zantesuken...

Up the stairs and enter the chamber of the Odin. Next examine the stone

block, it's actually an elevator. Next you have to take the one of the

two ladders. The right one leads to a Draw Point. [Aero] Take the left

ladder. Examine the blue orb (let's named it Power Source). Next climb

down and examine the blue orb on the panel, that's located on the ground,

it will reveal a series of stairs. Up the stairway, until you reached

the statue of a monster. Climb up the ladder on the left and examine the

statue and choose top option to take the Eye Ruby. Now head up the

stairs which will lead to the next statue. Climb up the ladder and put

the eye that you will find a password [the password is random and it

looks something like this 0-4-8-5-6] Now remove both eyes and head back

to the first statue. [There is a hidden draw point found on the right

of the area. Place the eyes on the statue and the torch on the right

will be lighted and enter your password. Well the numbers are placed in

a vertical row. Just simply switch the digits using Left or Right of the

D-Pad and Down to proceed to the next number. If you entered the

password correctly, it will reveal a secret chamber and you will be able

to find the Odin. It's time for BOSS fight!

Boss: Odin / Mini-GF Fight / HP: Varies each time- Over 100, 000

Strategy

This BOSS does NOT attack! Just keep on attacking until he is dead. But

beware of the time limit. Just use GFs and Magic to dish out damage.

There are a couple of ways of defeat the Odin in three minutes, just

simply cast Triple and use a powerful spell and you will be able to

defeat it in no time! Seize the opporunity to stock Triple which is a

good spell for junctioning. Note that you can't summon the Odin,

instead it will appears randomly, based on the characters.... However,

if you did not defeat it on time, it will use Zantesuken and blah..

it's gameover.

Well that's all for the Centra Ruins and you will be back here later

at Disc 3. You must get the Odin before you can get the GF Tonberry.

You can get GF Tonberry at this moment of time unless your characters

are really that powerful.

Remember, when going to these spots, use the Enc-none ability to find him

Ecounter#1- Winhill Bluffs=Cow

Encounter#2- Mandy Beach= Moa Head Statue

Encounter#3- Kashkabald Desert= Pyramid

Encounter#4- Trabia Heath Peninsula= Strange Symbol

Ok, once you have found all of them, Use the Ragnarok to go to the plateau north of Grandidi Forest.

 After walking around a while on the plateau you will encounter a UFO you have to battle, be carefull... It's hard to beat. After winning you will recieve a aegis amulet.

Now equip 5 elixers and someone with the item command. Fly down to the crater of balamb garden and walk around to find a PuPu. give him the 5 elixers and you will get a PuPu rare card.

If you fight the alien, you won't get the card but an Accelerator.
