a doctor [Dr. Kadowaki]. The doctor will ask Squall whether he is
alright or not, pick any one for Squall's reply and you will be given
a chance to name your character. After a short conversation, you have

Squall sighs and lying back on the bed. A girl dressed in blue, peeped
into Squall's room and followed a lady wearing a pair of spectacles,

be fully-pledged SeeD soldiers.] After the exams, you can regain control
of Squall, and this time, you will be able to view your menu [pressing
Triangle button]. Now talk to Quistis whom is surrounded by a group of
students. She will tell you go to the Cave of Fire and find the G.F.
monster, Ifrit. [G.F. stands for Guardian Force monsters]. You can go
back to your seat and watch the tutorial, and tried to get a slight idea
on how to use the junction system.[Balamb Garden Network, Tutorial Menu]

classmates, by going up to them and press the Square button. Now head
inside the elevator. The elevator will take you to the 1st floor of
the building and there is a short sequence where Squall will explain
to the girl about the locations and their purpose. If you don't
understand what they are talking about, read the following:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
SeeD Academy: Garden 1st Floor
--------------------------------
This is the layout of the 1st floor of the school. It is arranged in
a hexagon shaped with passages leading to different compartments.
Here is the Legend:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
KEY MEANING
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
E Stands for the elevator.
L Stands for the lobby.
[n] Stands for the compartments
/ Stands for paths
Okay, let's get started. Starting in clockwise direction:
1. Dormitory: You can changed your clothes here or sleep
[to recover lost HP] when needed. There are
three players there after you have completed
the fight against the Ifrit [Grey]. There is a
Save Point in this area.
2. Parking Lot: The place where you parked the vehicles [Yellow]
No significant purpose in the game.
3. Training Center: It's a huge jungle with huge rocks and pipes.
The first time that you have entered, you will
find two doors. There is a Save Point found here.
[Green]. There is also a Magic Stone found here.
4. Library: The place for bookworms. There is a female
player whom has very powerful cards. There is
a Magic Stone located in between the bookshelves
You have to examine the bookshelf to find the
Magic Stone, the man looking at the bookshelf
is also another card player. [Blue]. There is
a note about the Magic Stone, it will not be
useable after you have draw from it. This is
also the place, where you will find the person
whom Zell loves with secretly.
5. Central Gate: The entrance of SeeD school. It does not lead
to World Map directly! There is another player
at the main gate. A Magic Stone is found
near the fountain. Found another player,
standing near the entrance. [Dark Blue].
6. Infirmary: The place, where you will find the doctor and
the room where sick/injured people were
attended by Dr. Kadowaki. [Purple]
7. Quad: The School Stage. You can play cards with
the girl near the stage [Pink].
8. Cafeteria: The canteen of Garden. There is another player
sitting on the left of the table on the extreme
right [Red]. You will meet Seifer and his pals.
[Fuujin and Raijin], the first time you have
been to there.
9. Elevator: This will allow Squall to head for the second
floor, where you will find the classroom.
10. Lobby: The place where you can find a map of Garden
1st Floor. There is a Save point near it. Press
Circle to view the map. L stands for Lobby.
There is a Save Point at the lobby, that's located in front of the
elevator [note that the design of the Save Point is different from
those in FF7]. Now just head for the Central Gate and just simply hold
forward at the red gate and Squall will knocked open the gate. There
you will reach the garden that's located in front of the school.
There is another player somewhere around here. Now head outside the
school gate and you will meet a girl dressed in orange, that's Quistis
and she will join you. Now you exit out of Garden and now at the World
Map. Now at the World Map, there is a very obvious difference between
FF8 and FF7, that's the structures appeared much bigger that the marker
[Squall]. Make your way towards right, not following the path. Just cut
through the forest and you will find a cave located at the southeast
from Balamb Garden.
3.1 T H E C A V E O F F I R E
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
As you reached the cave, Quistis will ask you a question, choose the
1st option to avoid repeating it. At the entrance of the cave, you
will meet 2 guards wearing yellow caps [Garden Faculty]. Talk to them
and you will be given two options, pick the 1st option. Now they will
give you a time limit, pick 40 mins. [fourth] OR 30 mins. [third].
Squall and Quistis will be able to enter the cave. Inside the cave,
you find Squall's teacher Quistis, rather a nuisance. She keeps on
bragging about her ability. The cave has rather a straight forward
layout. Just walk along the path and exit to the next screen. Simply
walk up until the path started to split into three. Take the right
path and absorb some magic from the magic stone. Now take the middle
path and there you find a fire pit. After some chit-chat, you will
have to fight the first BOSS, Ifrit.
NOTE: The time goes on whether you are talking or during battles. The
time will only stops when you have returned back to the entrance.
You must defeat the Ifrit and head back to the entrance within
the time that you have chosen.

Make full use of your Guardian Monsters, [Quetzalcoatl and Shiva] to

restore lost HP and use Phoenix Down to resurrect dead members. Note
that the time still goes on as you fight in battles. Defeat the Ifrit
and you will be able to summon it for battles! Ifrit is weak against
Shiva and Ice magic. Time still goes on during the battle. Ice Magic
can be drawn from the monsters near the shores of Balamb.
PS: The level of BOSS and monsters will be different as they will
higher levels if you used the gameshark codes ! [MAX EXP and MAX
HP codes]. The levels will differ as it depends on Squall's level.
#######################################################################
After defeating the BOSS, head for the exit and the time limit will

in defeating the Ifrit. Now head back to Garden. You will need to face
the Final SeeD Exam. [The Dollet Mission]

Return back to Garden and at the gate, Quistis will leave your party.
Next she will tell Squall to meet her in the lobby. She will tell you
to change into your Garden uniform. So head for the Dormitory. At the
Dormitory, head for the bed and positioned Squall next to the bed and
press the Action Button, choose the 2nd option. At the Lobby, you
will recruit a new partner, Zell Dincht.
** FMV **
Zell will come here and displays some of his karate skills, by doing
a couple of somersaults and he will approach towards both of you and
Quistis
Noticed Squall is rather cold-blooded as he just simply give Zell a
cold shoulder. Zell also rather dislike Seifer and comment to Squall
about their mutual hate for Seifer. However, Quistis give him a piece
of surprising news, that is the leader for this mission is no other
than Seifer Almasy. Seifer comes along with his pals, Fuujin and
Raijin. Seifer is rather unfriendly and rude person, for he has been
classified as a "problem" child. Just as Zell wants to fight Seifer
for calling him a chicken punk. Now the principal of Balamb Garden
will eventually shows up, his name is Cid. Cid will briefly tell them
about their mission. After the little chit-chat, Seifer and his
company plus Zell leave the lobby. Squall will head for the Parking
Lot and you will get into a vehicle.
Inside the vehicle, enjoy some funny conversation between the three.
Zell will keep on talking non-stop, rather irritating. Squall does not
respond, making Zell rather angry and gets up doing some punches.
Seifer tells him to sit down and shut up. Now the screen will switch to
the World Map and you will be able to control the vehicle.
Well, here are the controls of the Car:

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Just simply drive your vehicle to the Balamb Town/Port. You will have
to enter the sub-like boat. Just as everyone have moved off, head up
the stairs and enter the sub-boat. Inside the boat, you will given a
talk by a lady named Sue whom will brief you about your mission.
SCOOP: For the past 72 hours, Dollet City has been under-attacked by
the Galbadian army. After 49 hours from outbreak of the war,
the city of Dollet has been evacuated. At present, the people
are hurrying to take refuge at the outlying of mountainous
areas. The troop will disembark from Kubutan Beach. Ask to
eliminate any enemy soldiers. Asked to penetrate through the
city and eliminate any enemy troops.
AIM: To wipe out any remaining enemy soldiers. Keep them from
activating the communications system.
After the briefing, Sue leaves. Squall decide to do something, that's
is talk to who ? You will be given 4 options:
- Talk to Quistis
- Talk to Seifer
- Talk to Zell
- nothing
After this, enjoyed some humorous jokes in the conversation between
Zell and Seifer. After another short chit-chat, head outside and you
will enjoy an FMV feast.
** FMV **
A globe with several sub boats following through the south-eastern
terrain. Squall is looking at the map and look at the island. Now time
for some gun-firing scenes and your party will landed at the Kubutan
Beach. ** Start of Demo **
Once arrived on the beach, just follow Seifer. You will be able to
control Squall and Zell will follow you. There is a Save Point here.
You will fight 2 Galbadian soldiers, each of them being armed with a
sword. They are quite simple not that tough, just throw in what you got.
Draw magic from them and stock it up for later use. There is rather a
high possibility, you will encounter random battles, so be always on
your guard. Continue following Seifer and you will be ambushed another
2 Galbadian soldiers. Continue in following Seifer until you have
reached the town. There you will be attacked by one Galbadian Soldier.
At the upper right hand corner, you will meet another Galbadian Soldier
[it's somewhere near the car].
Next talk to Seifer, wait until Seifer start to comment on the mission
started to get bored. Just wait there for a while, where you will find
the dog irritating Seifer. Now your party will be hiding at a corner.
Seifer chased the dog away and causes the dog to bark. Six Galbadian
soldiers start to march towards left. Seifer will tell Zell and Squall
to chase them. Zell did not wished to do that but surprisingly, Squall
agrees with Seifer. So chase after them, so follow Seifer. Next you
will cross a bridge and keep on heading left. You will encounter random
battles there rather frequently. Whew! you have finally caught up with
Seifer. Talk to the wounded Dollet soldiers. As you talk to the person,
who is crawling on the stairs, and get ripped up. Beware as you are
going to battle a sub-BOSS, a huge snake type creature.

BOSS.
#######################################################################
Continue up the stairs and head for the Radio [or EM] Tower. Now you
will see your teammates hiding and stay under cover at the cliff. You
will watch a short conversation between the two guards. So soon as
Seifer leaves, you enjoy another FMV sequence:
** FMV **
A girl comes forward and start to fall down from the steep slope.
The girl also winks at both Squall and Zell.
The girl's name is Selphie. She is formerly a member of Squad A. While
Squall, Zell and Seifer are in Squad B. She will start to jump off from
the cliff start jumping and smiling.
"Follow" her suit proceed near the cliff and choose the first option.
Now she will join your party. Next the scene was transferred to the
conversation between Wedge and Biggs. Now head inside the tower, equip
Guardians for each of them. Draw from magic stones [purple in colour]
There is a Save Point located near the elevator. Now head and use the
elevator, choosing option 1. At the top of tower, you will have
another FMV feast:
** FMV **
The ground starts to tremble and a screwdriver started to fall down
from the trap door. The ground has shaken so greatly that Squall could
stand still. There you will see the operations of the Radio Tower. Oh
no! they have activated the communications.
You will have a short talk and Seifer will come in. Prepare for the

==================
You firstly face Biggs and just simply attack him with attacks and
magic. As he was seriously wounded in the process, he will call for
Wedge. Just keep on focus your attacks on one of them.
It will cause both of them being attacked by the Elviole. This BOSS
could be an headache. Uses your G.F. monsters and magic to deal out
massive punishment. Draw some magic from the BOSS and use in your own
advantage. Use your Special moves when needed. Use Potions /Heal to
restore lost HP and Phoenix Down to revive dead members. If you draw
from the Elvoret, you can summon the G.F. monster, Siren. [that will
be the fourth option and could only be drawn once]. There is a easier
way in defeating BOSS, that is by drawing Double and cast magic twice
on the BOSS! You will get the first copy of Weapon Upgrading Guide
from the battle.
#######################################################################
As you have finished the BOSS, you will have a short conversation.
Seifer will leave and now you will have 30 minutes to head back to the
sub-boat.
Head to the elevator, press the Circle button and choose option 1.
As you head down, you will have a scene of Biggs summoning a robotic
beast to attack your party. Back at the ground floor of the tower,

-----Strategy-----
==================
The BOSS' greatest weakness is Lightning. Use Quetzalcoatl and Bolt
Magic to dish out damage. Once the BOSS is down, press R2 and L2 to
escape. You may have to fight this BOSS about five times. Hopefully
that you have enough Double Magic on your inventory. It is possible
to fight the BOSS only once.
######################################################################
Simply make your way out back to the beach, where your sub-boat was.
You have only 30 minutes to do so. Just run every time you have defeat
the BOSS. There is also an FMV sequence of the BOSS squashing the car.
Just make your way out, until you saw this FMV:
** FMV **
X-ATM092 scramble down the streets of Dollet. It has knocked apart a
building. Squall fall down on the ground and quickly gets up. Squall
then head for the sub-boat as fast as he could thus making an attempt
to jump across to reach the sub-boat. At this moment, Quistis pumped
the BOSS with the gun. Whew! The sub-boat was safe and the BOSS
had been reduced to a heap of waste metal ! **End of Demo**
Now you are back safe and sound. Back at the harbour, Seifer returns
back to his normal self. His pals will come to the harbour and
praises him for the victory. Quistis will congratulate all of you
for doing a great job. However, the unfriendly Seifer and his company,
just simply the vehicle, thus leaving your party back at the harbour.
Now you have to walk back to Garden.
Exit the area and you will be at a winding path and there is a Hotel.
Pay 100 gil to stay in the Hotel [as resting at the inn, will help to
recover all your lost HP]. If you want to save your game, use the
Save Point found at the corner of the room. [There is also a copy of
the Timber Magazine. Rest as you must be tired and has lost quite a
lot of HP [pick the first option]. Head left and you will enter an
area. There is a Magic Stone here, draw some magic. If you talk to
the man sitting on the bench, you will find out that he is rather
familiar to Zell. Actually, this is Zell's hometown! There are three
houses in this area.
1st House} [on the left]: Weapon Upgrading Shop.
2nd House} [on the right]: Zell's house. You cannot enter his bedroom!
You can get another copy of the Timber Magazine at the
kitchen of his house!
3rd House} [on the right, next to Zell's house]: There are a lady and
a man talking about something.
After done browsing the town, head up the street and you will reach
the Gas Station. There you can rent a vehicle for 3,500 gil ! Pick
first or second to rent a vehicle OR pick the third to quit. The first
option will result renting a blue-green vehicle while the second option
will result renting a brown-black vehicle.
In your "vehicle", head back to Garden. If you have a vehicle, press
Circle to get off and enter the Garden. At the front gate, your
teammates will leave. For those who doesn't want to waste your money,
try to walk on the path as this will reduce the encounter rate !

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Return back to the Lobby. There you will meet Quistis, Cid and xu
near the Map of Balamb Garden. Here is a piece of good news. Selphie
had passed the SeeD test ! Talk to Cid and he will speak for a short
while. Now head right from here and you will meet Seifer at the
entrance of the path, leading to the library. Talk to him. You will
notice Seifer's expressions. He is rather fed up. You want to know why?
Here comes the answer from the principal as he tells Seifer, that he
failed the SeeD test mainly because he like to do things on his own.
He is kinda upset as he lost to his rival, Squall Leonhart...
Now head for the elevator and board it to the 2nd floor. Notice that
the person whom have given you the cards has left that area. Now talk to
everyone whom is at the area outside the classroom. Noticed that Zell
is walking back and forth? He is rather nervous about his results.
There, a Garden Faculty will come up and talk to you all.
Announcing those whom has passed the SeeD test.... Zell of Squall B!
and Squall of Squad B! Many of them have failed the test, watch their
expressions. The screen will then proceed to the awards ceremony. On
4 Garden Cadets has passed the SeeD test. Talk to Cid and he will
give you an item, not sure what the item is meant for. Then you will
be shown your SeeD ranking [Test results from the Dollet Mission].
From now onwards you do the test at any moment of the game. Squall is
now an official SeeD member. You will receive money, based on the
steps on that you walk on the field. The higher the SeeD ranking it is,
the more money that you will earn. To gain higher ranks for SeeD levels,
do the SeeD test [refer to 3.0 for the answers]. You will be promoted by
1 level each time after gaining full marks for each test. As you
had received money, you will hear a ring and find those numbers at the
low part of the screen.

|_______________|______________________________________________________|
Well if you have followed the guidelines, you will receive SeeD level 9.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now exit the area, once you take control over Squall. Head back the
second floor where you have meet Seifer's pals, Fuujin and Raijin. To
your surprise, they have clapped for those whom have passed the test.
Now you will back at the Dormitory. Go to the bed and press the
Circle button and choose the 2nd option. Squall will change into
his SeeD/graduation suit. Talk to Selphie and leave. You may wish to
use the Save Point. Now you will be at the dancing ballroom. Now Zell
will approach Squall to try to talk to Squall. After he had left,
Selphie will come and meet Squall. Pick any option. Now Squall will
catch a glimpse of a girl dressed in yellow [remember the girl in the
opening FMV sequence?]. This is followed by an awesome FMV:
** FMV **
Squall looks at the transparent ceiling. A shooting star passed through
the night sky. Squall will then meet Rinoa [dressed in yellow]. Fall in
love at the first sight... Then Rinoa approaches Squall and talks for a
while...
Squall was invited to dance with her. There you will see the
personality of Squall, he doesn't quite like dancing as shown in the
FMV. The dance will stop after the area has become darker and the
fireworks appears.. Next Rinoa notices her friend, bid farewell and
leave Squall...
Now the scene switches to the balcony where Squall will have a short
conversation with Quistis. Quistis will tell you to change back
to your leisure clothes and meet her at the hall of the Training Center.
Exit from the area, and Squall will be on his thoughts why Quistis wants
him to do at this moment of time. Change your clothes and you found out
that all exits were sealed except for the entrance to Dormitory and the
Training Center, so head the other place.
At the training center.....
Most of the time, you will encounter plant-type monsters and
occasionally, you will battle the T-rex. If you encounter one, I will
suggest that you ran away [Press R2 + L2]. The T-Rex has about
10,000+ HP ! It is a formidable foe!
From that area, you will find red pipes and material used as building
materials. Head north.. In this area, there is a Save Point and a path
leads that leads to the ceiling of the training center. There is a
short conversation and they will both view the building of Garden from
here. It seems that they are talking about Quistis' past. After the
conversation has ended, head right and absorb the Magic Stone located
near the river. Head right and cross the bridge. Walk towards south and
you see a girl being held captive by a huge dragonfly ! [remember the
girl whom has peeped into Infirmary at the beginning ?]. Squall draws
his sword and start to attack on the BOSS.

GRANALD
==================
-----Strategy-----
==================
This BOSS isn't that tough as those Raids will not attacked your
characters when the main BOSS is around. The BOSS is pretty weak in
physical attacks. Just use the magic that you have already drawn from
the monsters. Note that the BOSS can make of the Raid and use as it's
weapon. Make full use of the Guardian Monsters and Magic to deal the
BOSS a deadly blow. Cast Heal or use Potions to restore lost HP.
You will get 14 AP when you defeat all three. The battle will only end
when all of them were killed. To reduce damage, draw Barrier [reduce
physical damage] and Shield [reduces damage done by magic].
Alternate Method:
You can draw Sleepel from the BOSS and use it it on the BOSS. While
BOSS is under the sleepel status, summon your G.Fs and you will be
able get rid of the Raids at one time!
NOTE: This BOSS looks quite identical to those in the Temple of
Ancients, where you have been knocked down by the clock's hand
to get Cloud's weapon, the Nail Bat.
#######################################################################
After the battle, the girl is accompanied by two White SeeD cadets [?]
Now exit from the area. Quistis will tell Squall to meet the Principal
and others at the Central Gate, next morning. Hey ! Do you know that,
now it is night time. Head back to the Dormitory and you will find Zell
along the way. Back at the Dormitory, you will find the layout has
changed. Head near the bed and Squall will have a good night sleep,
still can't get over the dance with Rinoa....
PS: You can get another copy of Weapon Upgrading Guide from the desk
located at the Dormitory.
3.5 A N O T H E R M I S S I O N !
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Make your way to the Central Gate when Squall is awaken, save your
game if necessary. At the central gate, push open the red panel and
you will see Cid along with the Garden Faculty and Selphie. Talk to
Cid. Notice that everyone has changed into their own personal clothes.
There Cid will simply brief your mission. Now again you will be
accompanied by both Selphie and Zell, but where is Zell?. Speaking of
devil, here comes Zell in his cool air-board, however skating in
main compound is not allow in Garden. Zell's air-board is confiscated
in the process. Now once you control Squall, try to exit the area. Cid
will give you the Magic Lantern that summons the G.F. Monster, the
Diablo. The BOSS is rather tough. Wait until you get two more G.Fs.
Exit from Garden and you are back on the World Map. You had rent a
vehicle, you will find your vehicle at the spot, where you have parked.
You can enter the Dock using the car too. If you don't have, walk
towards the Balamb Town. As you arrived at the town, head south from
the Gas Station. Now walk down and make a left turn, there you will
meet Zell's close friend. Next, walk left and you will reach the train
station. There is a shop situated at the right side of the station,
which sells items. [Refer to Part II for more details]
After this, talk to the man at the station and pay him 3,000 gil to
enter the train.
Inside the train.....
There is a Save Point inside the train. Next Zell will talk to Squall
and Selphie. They will leave the room. Follow their suit. Talk to Zell
and he will enter the room on the left. Selphie will remain at the
walkway of the train, happily singing. Now head inside the room and talk
to Zell whom is on the crouch. Move towards Zell and pick any option.
Then Selphie will enter the room, looking unwell. Suddenly, Selphie
passes out, so is Zell. Squall tries to approach them, but suddenly
fall unconscious, lying on the ground and the screen fades....
No no! this isn't the headaches which Cloud of FF7 has regularly has!
You will received the first copy of the Pet Magazine from Zell.

Now the mission had switches it's focus to Laguna and his company.
The guy with long hair is Laguna Loire. The massive one is Ward Zaback.
He is armed with a powerful Harpoon. Kiros Seagul is the other guy. He
carries two long swords. Pretty cool huh?
NOTE: At this moment of time, they will be able to access your G.F.
Cards, Monsters and Magic. Laguna will have all Squall's
commands that you have equipped. Ward will have all Zell's
commands that you have equipped. Kiros will have all the
commands that you have equipped on Selphie. They will also be
able to fight the Diablo that has been trapped inside the
Magic Lantern, given by Cid. In this section, you will
encounter random battles in the grasslands, similar to those at
Galbadian Area. There is one common factor for all Laguna's
scenario, that the maximum amount of gil they have is 3,000 gil.
The path is rather straight forward. Just simply walk along the track
and head northeast. The path is surrounded by high grasslands. There
is a Magic stone found along the path. Now head up and you will see
a lot of speech bubbles at a time. Make an anti-clockwise turn and you
will find a Magic stone. Draw magic from the Magic Stone and enter the
truck. Next the truck will transport you to Galbadia City. At the city,
once you have exit from the truck, head south. You will find a hotel
called Galbadia Hotel. At the main hall you will find a Save Point.
Next you can choose to sleep in the hotel, it cost 100 gil. After the
"goodnight sleep", walk down the stairs found on the right of the main
hall. Next talk to the waitress whom is wearing a blue velvet, and she
is found in front of the piano. Next a lady dressed in red [Julia] will
come out and play the piano. You will see Laguna talking to his pals.
Head and talk to Julia and Laguna will fake injury on his foot, ^_^.
Next Julia will approach Laguna and have a short chit-chat. Julia will
move upstairs and thus leaving Laguna in his thoughts. Now head back to
the man at the counter and pick the first option. There you will see a
brief talk between Laguna and the Julia. Again, the screen will then
fade again......
The girl's name was Julia

Zell and Selphie will wake up from the strange dream, still leaving
Squall lying on the ground. You will once re-gain control of your
former party. You will eventually get off the train at the small
train station. [Timber Station, I think, the wording is a bit too tough
to read !] There is a booth, which will tell you something [not quite
sure about it's purpose]. In front of the pet shop, there is a guy
blocking the entrance. Head down to exit from the area. There you will
see a guy, whom is rather careless, almost got hit by the train, and
this applies only to first/second option. Next the man will invite you
to get onto the train. He is a member of the Forest Owls
AT THE TRAIN
Your party will stay there for a while. There are two other guys. One
of them dressed in blue while the other is wearing a yellow cap. The
punky guy in blue shirt will usually have a stomachache and puke at a
corner ^_^;. Go up the stairs on the extreme right. There is a Save
Point at the left-hand side of the train. I suggest that you use it.
Now exit from the area and continue to head up, until you reached a
highly-polished cabin. Inside the room, is the person whom has danced
with Squall at the Graduation Party. The moment she notices Squall, She
hugs Squall and will have a brief chat. She will tell her name, Rinoa.
Her dog will enter the cabin later and you can name her dog [Angelo].
Once she had left the room, head back to the main cabin where your
party was. Everyone will have a short chit-chat. Next you will be led
to a room, which has the model of the tunnel. You're planning to attack
the President whom is on board on the other train. There you will have
a sequence of the process showing how the trains are connected.
Here is a brief description of the sequence:
PS: The name of Rinoa's dog is called Angelo. This also taken from
Heero Yuy's FAQ

Exit from this area and talk to the man in cap and choose the 2nd
option and the screen will fade...
You will now be at the top of the train and your characters will
jump across to reach the other train [pressing Circle]. Next Rinoa
will talk to Squall and the scene will switches to the President whom
you are chasing after. There you will have to the "Connection of

doing the "Connection of Trains" and followed by another FMV of the
unlocking of trains.

================== Triangle [1]
-----CONTROLS----- Square [3] Circle [2]
================== X [4]
L1: Look left R1: Look Right
Up: Getting Up Down: Move down
.......................................................................
Firstly Squall will set up the device vertically on the top of the
train. Rinoa will tell you the code. The code panel is shown on the top
right-hand corner. You have to enter the number shown on the panel.
For example: Let's says if the code to input is 1333, press Triangle,
Square, Square, Square. You will be forced to stop if you was caught
by the patrolling Galbadian soldiers. For the first train carriage, you
have to input 3 codes within the given time limit. The codes need not
to be input continuously. Note that you can can't move while inputting
codes on the panel. If a soldier is coming forward, press Up and Squall
will be back at the top of the train. For the first mission, press L1
to look left to see the Galbadian soldiers are approaching you. For
second time, you will have to input 5 codes with the same time limit.
Press R2 to view right if Galbadian soldiers are moving towards you.
.......................................................................
Now you will back at the place where you firstly enter this train.
The punky guy will have another stomachache. Once gain control of
Squall, head back to the place where you find the Save Point and save
your game. Return and talk to the man wearing a cap and pick the 2nd
Option and the screen will fade.....
Now you were in the carriage where the President was. Rinoa approaches
the President but the structure of the President is rather uneasy,
that's right you have to fight him and the monster that he transform
into later in the battle. It's another BOSS fight!

Monster Deling Level 8 HP: 2,450
Attacks: President Deling: Charge and Life Drain
Monster Deling: Claw Swipe, Fire, Bolt, Flood

Facts: Monster Deling: Weak against Fire, Earth and Holy.
Poison has no effect on the BOSS
Draw: President Deling: Heal
Utoku: Cure, Double, Berserk, Drain
AP gained: 20.
==================
-----Strategy-----
==================
Just dealt 400+ HP on Deling and it will changed to a huge ugly and
dirty monster. Just use fire-based attacks and your G.F. Use Heal or
items such as Hi-Potions and Potion to restore lost HP. Next add
more fire. The flood breath occasionally will cause Sadness, use Cure
to remove this status aliments.
Alternate ways:
The President is undead, use Heal on the BOSS and use Double to
increase the damage by half (about 500+ HP). This was sent by Patrick
Han. There is also any way to defeat the BOSS: Utoku, it can be
killed instantly by a Phoenix Down!
PS: The President is fake, thanks a lot Heero Yuy ! The monster that
he transformed into is called Utoku.
#######################################################################
As you have defeat the BOSS, you will back at the place where you will
shown the train diagram. The punky "hair" guy will squat down and
puke. Now talk to Rinoa whom is squatting along with the other two.
Squall will follow Rinoa's suit and receive 2 pieces of paper. The
papers are actually a massage meant for Squall and his pals. The punky
man will have another stomachache and you will talk to head for the
Timber TV station, I think. Rinoa will join you and you will have to
form a new party of three. Next exit from the area, through south.
Head up the stairs and use that Save Point. Now talk to the man
dressed in a cap and choose Option 2. The train will now return back
to the Timber Station.
3.8 V I S I T I N G T I M B E R S T A T I O N
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
This is a special town as you have to battle against Galbadian
soldiers within the town. Applies to this period of time.
Once you have reached the station, get off from the train and received
a cut scene from a leader and three Galbadian Troops looking over a
bridge. Head up and you can buy some items from the Pet Shop. Pet
Shops provided items for G.F. [the list of items will be found at
Part II of this FAQ] and the volume 03 and 04 Pet Magazines.
Now head down and exit from the screen. There is a Weapon Shop on the
extreme top-left hand corner and the Timber Hotel. Inside the Timber
Hotel. There is a room that's simply out of bounds. Actually you can
only enter it by paying 100 gil at the counter [also getting another
copy of Timber Magazine in this way]. There is a player [the little
girl near the signboard] found here. Walk south to exit from this area.
In this area, you find some Galbadian soldiers threatening the guards
at the gate, walk south and confront with them and you will have to
fight them. Now return back to the Train station and this time, take
the path facing right [between the 2 platforms]. Now there is a huge
building that's says "Timber Maniacs" Enter the building. The room,
located on the left has a hidden Magic Stone. Head up the room located
in the north. Inside the room, there are 3 people. There is an item
[a Timber Magazine] which you can collected from the deck of documents
located at the right. If you talk to the man found at the north, you
have another short sequence. The building next to the Maniacs is the
house which you will visit it later. Head right. Now you will be
on a street. Notice, there is a girl, walking up to the shelter.
Actually that's a staircase that leads to the Pub. There is a card
player [girl on the bench]. You will meet 2 Galbadian Soldiers and
ave to defeat them. There is another Item Shop located on the left of
the Pud. There is another Magic Stone located at the right of the Pub.
Head up and enter the pub after you have done with your shopping. At
the Pub, there's a drunken man sitting there at the door that's leads
to the alley way of the Pub. Talk to the man dressed in a purple suit
and choose the following:
1st Question: 2nd Option
2nd Question: 2nd Option. The first option will allows you to buy
drinks from the pub. Each drink costs 100 gil. In
return, the man also gives you a Card. [Tonberi.]
Then the man will tell the drunken man to make way for you. Now head
up and you will find a Save Point. There is another card player,
whom is sitting on the bench. Now head left. There you will find a
huge gate that leads to the TV Station. Head up, force the gate to
open and up the winding stairs. Now head up and turn right and you
will see a huge Screen. There you will have a conversation and pick
any option. Squall will quarrel with Rinoa and Rinoa will ran away.
Selphie / Zell will come and rejoins your party. Now watch the screen.
There you will have a sequence of the minister talking followed by
the President [didn't we have defeated him during the last BOSS
fight!?]. More surprises will come... That's Seifer and he will try to
kill the President. Quistis is also there. Now head left and walk up
the path and you find Seifer holding the President as the hostage. He
will then pull the President to a corner. Now at that corner, Quistis
will come in, trying to stop Seifer from killing the President. Then a
mysterious lady appeared from thin air, it's Edea [the person whom
frequently appears in the opening FMV]. She will talk out with Seifer,
causing him to drop the President and leave with her. Quistis was
injured in the process too. Squall and his party will enter the place
and Rinoa is back too. Now you have to follow both Quistis and Rinoa.
Remember the house next to Timber Maniacs ? So head there and you will
find both them. A short sequence will happen at the house. Firstly talk
to Quistis and tried to exit. And you will talk out, and you will be
given to reorganize your party. On your way out, the owner will gives
you a Phoenix Down, Potion, Soft, Antidote and a Remedy. Now you will
see a Galbadian Soldier outside the house. You can ignore the soldier
by keep going right. There you will see a man wearing a cap,
distributes a ticket to each character. Now enter the shelter and you
will be on the other side of the Train Station. There is a house,
which will provide some clues. Now cross over the bridge and head south
you will meet Quistis or Rinoa there. Pick Option 1 to enter the train.
Your company will enter the train. The train will now start to move.
Inside the train, talk to everyone and Zell last, picking the first
option.
The train now will be back at the World Map. There is a small platform
there, and you will given two options. Pick the first option to get off

You will find a forest surrounded by mountainous regions. Enter the
forest, you will have a short sequence. Next Squall, Quistis and

mishap?
3.9 L A G U N A ' S S E C O N D S C E N A R I O . . .
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
As you fall unconsicious, the screen switches back to Laguna and his
company. Talk about something. Now you need to head for the mine
located on the west of this area. Just pick any option during the
conversation. As you head up, you need to fight some of the miners,
don't worry, the miners [Esthar Soldiers] are not quite tough, in fact
they have the same stats as the Galbadian soldiers. Absorb the magic
from the Magic Stone. Take the straight path and quite head right until
the path splits into three. Take the one leading right and absorb more
magic from the Magic Stone. Now head back to the entrance, where you
have firstly fought the miners. Take the other path and press down
when you reached the ladder. Next you will have a sequence and Laguna
seems hurt. Continue walk forward. Make a left turn and exit. Next you
will come out from a huge pipe. Notice this, there is a path leading
north. Take the path towards north. You wil find a huge boulder and a
torpedo-shaped like structure. Press Circle on the structure and
choose option one. The boulder will start to roll down and thus stuck
the previous exit. Now walk up the path. Up the stairs and continue to
move forward and make a left turn when reached a junction. Head left

Make sure that your party is fully healed. Save your game and head up,

couple of miners and you have to fight them CONTINOUSLY. You will
fight in this sequence: 1 miner, 2 miners, 2 miners, 2 miners [After

reducing their HP to only one point]. After the battle, you will have
a saddening sequence. Laguna will thrown off his dying bundies over the

Enter the tomb with precaution, the monsters here are quite tough. So
beware. Enter the tomb, and you should on a straight path. Straight
paths are very important [this leads me to a key on how to head
forward]. Head north. Now you should reach a junction. There is a
gunblade with a number [I got the No. 016, it seems that the password
changes everytime you played] Now turn right of the junction. NOTE:
Always turn right when you came to a junction so that you can never
get lost. You can return back to Galbadia and complete the next
section but here you can get another G.F. monster, the Brothers. So

Advance all attacks on Minotaur, the more dangerous one. Cast
Silence to prevent them from regenerate their HP. Minotaur's Swap All
does about 100+ to all your party members. Their attacks also do
about 120+ to each member. Cast Heal to regenrate lost HP. Use your
special moves when needed. Beware of their most devastating trademark
the Earthquake on your all characters. Use any healing items when
needed. Use G.F. as they will do damage to both of them at once. OR
draw Double and you will be to cast double magic on them!

to Squall for a while. After a while, Colonel Carlway will enter the
hall and greet you and brief you about your mission. If Rinoa is in
your party, she will leave your party and you will have to re-organize.
The Colonel is actually Rinoa's father and he will take you out and
browse the outings of Galbadia. Talk to him while the tower. Next
follow him and back to the mansion. A short sequence will occur and
your party is going to divide into two. Squall and Irvine will form a
party while Quistis, Selphie and Zell will form the second party. Now
you will take control of Quistis and company. Now head for the door
and you will meet Rinoa. A short event occurs and everyone leaves,
leaving in the mansion alone...

You will now gain control of Rinoa. There is a Save Point on the left.
Now you will have to do some climbing. Head to the crate and press
Circle. Climb up until you reach the ledge. Head left.
In this area, head for the ladder located on the left extreme side
of the building. Now head up to the ceiling and Rinoa will reach the
building. There is a chair in front of you. Proceed and examine it ...
Ka-Boom ! Rinoa was injured by Edea and Rinoa is then risen into
mid-air... followed by this FMV.
** FMV **
Edea's hair shortens and uncovered her "beak" mask. Rinoa gets on her
feet and wings appeared from the round at her back. She then passes
through the door ! And she will deliver her speech to her people.
Rinoa is coming forward too, looks under the control of Edea.
Edea talks for a while. Delievers a magic blow on the President,
causing the President lying on the ground. Squall and Irvine spotted
Rinoa. Squall thinks why Rinoa's up there!? Edea proceed to the
hall and raises her hand, summoning monsters!
** FMV **
A statue of Lizard-Lion structure suddenly turns alive, forcing its
way out of the city, causing chaos and thus attack Rinoa whom was
awakened!
Squall will talk to Irvine and the screen switches back to Quistis
and her company. Now you have to find a way to get so that you can
help Squall and Irvine...
Look closely on the painting on the right. It's a statue of girl
holding a glass. On the extreme top-left hand corner is also a statue
of a girl. So to make it the same, get a glass from the cabinet next
to the statue and press Circle to place it on the statue. It will then
reveal a trap door! Enter the trap door and head down to the basement.
There is a Save Point. To climb onto structures such as ladders, press
Circle to examine it, press up and down to move.
Now go down through the ladder and onto the wooden platform next to
the gear and press Circle, Quistis and her company will be able to
reach the other side of the basement. Head up and you will have
another FMV sequence...

Squall and Irvine will view the opening of the gate.. there you will
see dancers performing and crowd watching. Next there will enter a
huge vehicle with Edea on a chair and Seifer is there too ! Seifer
has also a scar, same as Squall!
Now you will be able to move during intervals. Just follow Irvine.
and seek into the building. Equip Irvine with G.Fs as everything
will be reset. Now, climb up the crates, following Rinoa's suit. Use
the Save Point if needed. Now after you have climb onto the celling, try
to move Squall towards the edge of the main building. Head for the
door! You will find the President lying on the ground. In the next
area, you will find a hatch located on the right of the red carpet.
Ignore and head down. There you will see the unarmed Rinoa being

Draw: Heal, Cure, Petrify, Carbunkle
AP gained: 20 AP
==================
-----Strategy-----
==================
At this time, you can only have Squall and Irvine in your party. Use
Guardians if necessary. If low on HP, draw some healing spells and
this should not be tough. Beware of the BOSS' Acid Breath as it could
turn one of your members into stone. To counter with that status
disorder, use Cure which can be drawn from the BOSS. Remember to draw
Carbunkle from them ! Note that you can only draw once.
#######################################################################
After defeating the BOSS, Squall will try to help Rinoa. Notice that
there is something wrong with Rinoa ? Exit from this area and head for
the hatch, examine it and you will reach the destination which the

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
This section is tough. I have lost my way quite a few times. Writting
a precise guide will make you more confused. So I will try to give out
the hints to this section:
1. Monsters in this section are rather tough and mean. When you
encounter a huge spider-like creature, run away from it as it will
take ages to defeat it.
2. Note that you can walk across gears, by examining them, pressing
the Circle button.
3. There are only three Magic Stones found here.
4. You can open some of the doors in this section.
5. If you cannot proceed further, then you are on the wrong track.
6. The gears are turning in a certain direction either clockwise
nor anti-clockwise. If you want to cross the gear from left to
right, find a gear that is moving clockwise.
7. There is a Weapon Upgrading Guide found here.
At the beginning of the path, you find that you can only walk along
the path on the left. Actually the destination is on the RIGHT side.
If you are trapped, there is no harm in examining any of those gears
which might lead you to the other area. At the end of the sewers, you
will find a Save Point. Climb up that ladder. Now you will reach an
area with a door. Press Circle at the ladder, pick the first option
and you will reach the area where you will find a small window. Zell
will look through and followed by a FMV.
** FMV **
Zell will receive a bird's eye view from this section. The numbers
has hit 20:00:00. Squall and his party whom were be at the elevated
building. Edea will be looking at it and the vehicle is passing
through the parade...
Now push the switch [looks like a telephone] and you will have
another FMV.
** FMV **
The circus which the Colonel has shown to you have risen. Squall
and company is there. Then suddenly the gate suddenly closed, locking
up both Seifer and Edea...
Squall will be talking to Irvine whom is aiming at Edea. Bang!
Irvine's shot is very accurate, but it was deflected by Edea's
powerful magic. Squall will say a few words and you will be shown the
menu. Equip all G.Fs on Squall, Rinoa and Irvine and it will be
followed by an FMV....
** FMV **
Squall releases his gunblade and jump off from the top of the building.
Attacking the Galbadian soldiers with some fancy swordplay, heading
for the vehicle. The city will be in chaos of course. Squall will drive
the vehicle at full speed, rushing the gate where Edea and Seifer
were...
Short talk between Edea, Seifer and Squall. Squall battles on
Seifer one on one... IT'S REVENGE TIME !

This BOSS is very tough. She has very damaging magic such as Fire 3
and Ice 3. Her magic does damage about 300+. Draw some magic from her
and use it for your own use. Use attack, special moves, G.F. Monsters
to dish out damage. Equip one of the party members with the ITEM as
their fourth command. There is an easy way of defeating her. Make sure
that your party is being healed to full health and then cast Carbunkle
on your entire party. Now all the magic spell will be reflect onto her.
Or she will waste her turns in casting Despell to break off the Reflect
status for each party member.
#######################################################################
** FMV **
Edea is seriously wounded. About to disappear, but she summons three
Ice crystals and throw it at your party. Rinoa turns around as she saw
Squall being hit by one of those. Squall lost his grip and fall from
the top of the building and Rinoa reaches for Squall.... Squall closes
his eyes.

AP gained: 20

==================
-----Strategy-----
==================
This BOSS is rather tough if you have low levels. Gain in until you
have reached double-dights level so that you will be able to fight
him. The BOSS has a high tendency of using Demi magic before he start
to attack. His attacks are strong which does about 100+. Draw Heal
to use it to heal lost HP. Use G.F. to mince the BOSS ! For a quick
victory, use Demi which can be drawn from the BOSS and use it on it.
EASY DEFEATING G.F Diablo from John Paulo Marquez
Firstly you must have obtained the double magic spell (the one that
lets you to do magic in a turn) and Blind. As you begin the fight, cast
double magic to your characters and blind magic to the G.Fs. It may
requires some luck, which will result the BOSS from missing attacking
you. Refer to Part II for more details on Blind magic. The BOSS' Demi
All will never KILL your party even if your HP is at 10. Use your
Special moves and G.Fs you will be able to fry that guy in no time!
