W A L K T H R O U G H F O R D I S C 3 ======================================================================= 5.1 E D E A ' S A G O O D L A D Y ! ? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Now Squall will be back lying on his bed in the Dormitory. Next he will head and look at the injured Rinoa and then Quistis will inform Squall to head for Edea's house which is the building with lighthouse. You can now get to the World Map through the Central Gate or through the controls. Either way will result you, forming a new party however you can't have Rinoa in your party at this moment of time. Now enter the house on the left of that island [it's with the lighthouse]. Now you will head up to the building and you will find the rest of your party members outside house. The house seems have been damaged and been abandoned for a long time. Now head up and enter the house. You will find an item on the ground [it's the Timber Magazine]. Next enter the room located at the north and draw some magic from the magic stone located there. Now head back and enter the right side which will causes you to meet Cid. Now head right and you will meet Edea along with her husband.... Here is some great news. You can win Edea's Card along with Seifer's Card by winning a Card game from Cid and Edea. Edea will tell you about something and here is the scoop: SCOOP: A witch named Altemisia from the future always want the power to compress time [i.e. allowing people in the past, the present and the future to live in the same time] She's searching for someone whom have some memories of the past, Elone. Rinoa could be the person for the present. Edea tries to refuse it but as in a result, was forced in the process.. Edea thinks the only solution is to prevent Elone from being captured by that evil witch... for Elone has mysterious powers. Just simply talk to Edea about 4 times and then attempt to exit and you will be called back by Edea and your party. Next you will be back to the Controls of Balamb Garden, 3rd Floor. PS: You can get another copy of the Weapon Upgrading Guide at the Training Center [enter the left door where you find the materials.] Search the ground, it's somewhere around there. 5.2. S W I T C H I N G B A C K T O T H E P A S T zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz After regaining control of Squall, have two persons in mind and have G.Fs equipped especially the Shiva. Next head for the infirmary where Rinoa is. Now time will be transported to the past.... Before that you will have a party change like whom is representing whom in the past. Squall, of course is going to represent as Laguna and have those two characters represent as Kiros and Ward. Now Laguna, along with his bundies, Kiros and Ward are doing their prepartions for a play. Ward and Kiros are asked to dress as the evil Dragon and thus make their prepartions.... Now Laguna will enter the stage dressed as shining Knight armed with a sword. Now Laguna head forward towards the princess and the director after some conversation, a gigantic red dragon appears and head down the slopes. Laguna thought that the dragon is Kiros and Ward in disguise but he is mistaken, it is a real Rubulmdragon! Now you have another sub-game, a sword fighting game! MINI-GAME : Laguna's a dragon-slayer ! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ================== Square : Defend -----Controls----- X : Attack ================== NOTE: Laguna's Life Bar will be shown at the low-left corner, while the Rubulmdragon's Life Bar is at the low-right corner. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================= S T R A T E G Y ============================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Similar to the last sub game you have at Balamb Garden, you will be forced to take some damage. Laguna is not fighting the Dragon with his machine gun but a knight sword. This sub-game is pretty simple. Just simply return fire after the Dragon has attacked. As the Dragon attack Laguna, hold Square and Laguna will defend thus recieving no damage. It's just a piece of cake ! Well if you are defeated, choose the 1st option to resume the game. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- After you have completed the mini-game, Laguna will head down but he was trapped ! Luckily, Kiros and Ward came to his rescue, then you will have two options. The first one will FIGHT the dragon instantly, but note that neither Kiros and Ward were equipped with G.Fs, so take note. Choose 2nd option which will result Laguna and his party to run. Next you will need to head left. In the first screen, you will find a Save Point, so head up and until you reach the top of the cliff. Now head back down, note that you will encounter random battles and fight the sub-boss, he's a bit tough. ####################################################################### SUB-BOSS NO. 2 R U B Y D R A G O N ####################################################################### Name: Ruby dragon Level: 28 HP: 18,468 Attacks: Bite, Claw Swipe, Dragon Breath. Facts: Weak vs Cold/Holy, Nullifies wind and fire-based attacks Draw: Wind, Fire 2 AP gained: 14 AP ================== -----Strategy----- ================== This guy is much tougher compared to the T-Rex. He has pretty high- damaging attacks about 500+ HP damage. Next what you draw from the BOSS cannot be use to fight AGAINST him. Use Shiva [hopefully you have accquired the Aid Command] and Alexandar to dish out damage. Use other G.Fs too except for Pandamonium and Ifrit. Use Cerebrus for fast- casting of spells. The BOSS has a Dragon Breath which does damage to all members. You can get the Dragon Fang by using Bundoru on it. ####################################################################### After defeating the BOSS, Laguna and his pals will be watching over the evening sun, then the screen will fade... Next you will be back with Laguna talking Edea ? Next you will be back to Squall and his party. Now heal your characters to full health and you need to head for the SeeD ship which Elone is on board. SAVE Your game. 5.3 E L O N E C O M M I T S S U I C I D E . . . . zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz After completing Laguna's 4th Scenario. Head back to Edea's house. She will tell you about the location of the White SeeD ship. Then she will give you a letter. Next head northeast a bit and you will be able to locate the ship, somewhere in Sentra Region. You will find the ship docked at C-shaped Island, in the middle of islands. Make contact with the ship and your characters will be boarding onto the ship. NOTE: The ship is located in between the islands north-east from Edea's house. It is much smaller compared to Balamb Garden. ON THE SHIP... As you entered the ship, you will meet 3 White SeeD cadets. At the front of the ship, you will find a female SeeD girl and 2 kids. There is nothing. Head for the back cabin. There you will meet two familiar faces, that's punky guy and the guy wearing a cap. The stairs will lead to controls of the ship. Next head for the cabin, the bottom most stairs. You will find a SeeD cadet and followed by a sequence. There is a Magic Stone here in this area. Next talk to the guy and note the sad music in the background. Now you will have a sequence about Elone commiting suicide at the front of the ship. Next you will be back at the Controls of Balamb Garden. Remember to grab the last copy of the Timber Magazine on the White SeeD ship! The use of them are described in Part II. Head for the Dormitory and save your game. Next head for the Infirmary where you will find Rinoa. Now you will have another sequence that's Squall taking Rinoa to Fishermen's Horizon [F.H city]. Head right and the screen will fade. Now Squall will be carrying Rinoa on his back, walking through that quiet and peaceful street. The moment he stopped and he will enjoy the scenery of the evening sun. Once you regained control of Squall, examine Rinoa and you will have Squall carrying Rinoa forward again.

Then you will be asked to set a new party with Edea [again she is not a compulsory character.] Next head up through that snowfield, with Squall carrying Rinoa. Now you should be at the screen with that dinosaur skeleton. Instead of walking forward, climb up the skeleton on the right. Just simply walk up, no need to press Circle. Next you will be at the screen with the dinosaur's bone forming as a bridge. Examine the south area for hidden Magic Stone. Next head up the "bridge". Next you will be at the edge of the cliff and there is another Magic Stone. Next go to the edge and press Circle to jump down. Now the rest will follow suit, head up to the next area. You will be on the ledge. Make a right turn. There is a Save Point in the area. Head left twice and you will see a gigantic monster jumping from below, it's a BOSS fight. ####################################################################### BOSS NO. 17 A V A D O N ####################################################################### Name: Avadon Level: 32 HP: 16,010 Attacks: Claw grab, Claw swipe, Confu Facts: Weak against Holy/Fire Draw: Heal 3, Cure, Despell, Aero AP gained: 40 ================== -----Strategy----- ================== This BOSS looks very scary and has very powerful attacks which does about 800+ damage, bringing low characters to instant death. Draw Heal 3 and use it on the BOSS and it will be dead meat! Your attacks are puny useless and pretty weak. Use this method if you have not accquired Leviathan's Recovery. The BOSS will turn into stone before it's death.

Laguna will try to block off the miner's way thus letting Mumba and the man to enter the elevator. Next Kiros and Ward will come here, followed by another miner. Now you will be given two options: 1st Option: Equip G.Fs. By the way, I forgot to tell you that every time you switches to Laguna, both Kiros and Ward will have only the ATTACK command.

Next head south-east of the continent of the World Map. It's called the Tear's Point. Next examine the Magic Stone along the path and head up. Now in front of the statue, examine the Magic Stone and pick up the Solmon's Ring. Next you need to steal Molbor Tentacles with the Diablo's Bundoru character ability.

GRASHARABORAS| 6x | Remedy Plus | |===================================| 6x | Iron Pipe | | | 6x | Molbor's Tentacle | |___________________________________|__________|_______________________| Due to many questions regarding the Doomtrain The Remedy can be brought from shops except for Soloman's Ring and Molbor's tentacles. Here is information on getting materials. Molbor's : A giantic green-monster with huge mouth, a huge plant with tentacles very high HP. It has an attack [Bad Breath] which will cause all status aliments like Confuse,Berserk, Poison, Darkness and Blind. So be careful about it. This gigantic monster is pretty strong. By the way, it has a low occurence rate baout 1/10 chance if you ask me. You will not find any more Molbors here after getting Ragnarok. It can be found at the Island of Hell after recieving Ragnarok. So it's critical to meet them at here before you head for the space station. The island closest to Heaven is marked on the northwest area of the World Map. You can find the world map at my webpage. It's possible to win Molbor tentacles without stealing from them. [JUNK] Iron Pipe: You can find these defeated those green-yellow gorillas found at the hills of Galbadia, using Bundoru to steal from it. Sorry about the misleading information, as you will get Iron Spheres by defeating them. [G.F] Remedy Plus: Firstly, you must have accquired the Alexandar ability of Medicine Level Up to upgrade Remedy. 1x Remedy Plus is equalvent to 10x Remedies! [need to spend 60,000 gil] Remedy used for curing and removing status aliments like Poison, Confuse, Berserk. [MEDICINE] NOTE: Esthar will be infested by devils from the Hell, due to Rinoa releasing the future witch and the surrounding will turns slightly red, so that explains why you can't find any Molbors there any more. The World Map can also be found at my homepage. Refer to it for more details. After obtaining this following requirements, just use the Solomon Ring and you will summon Grasharaboras!

Next you will have an FMV of a spaceship approaching the planet. Leave the control and head upstairs and you will have this FMV: ** FMV ** The view from outerspace of the Planet. Then the screen switches to a strange planet which looks like an eye, which you will find an entire flock of them at the planet. Yucks ! The monsters are heading for the planet. Lava starts to pouring out... Enter the Astronaut's Locker room and you will find Rinoa [dressed in an astronaut suit head for the airlock.

Next examine the unoccupied pod and you will view an FMV: ** FMV ** The escape pod has removed from the main shuttle and watch the end of the shuttle, Ka-Boom! Next Elone will come out and has a flashback... Rinoa is on a Galbadian Truck with Irvine, a very funny sequence and followed by the talk with Zell at Balamb Garden. Next you will have the sequence after you have defeat Edea at the end of Disc 2. Rinoa has been possessed by the witch from the future... and you will have a long event. Here is the summary of the event: Rinoa starts to float past through the space. As time passes, Rinoa is floating closer and closer. Next you will have a couple of FMVs of Rinoa regaining her consicious after her pendant floats up. She starts to think of Squall and operate her oxygen tank.. actually this is in Squall's mind. Squall started to exit from his chamber and help Rinoa and head out of the escape pod and reaches for Rinoa. Next you will have a mini-game of Squall catching Rinoa, which is about 2 minutes to catch Rinoa.. Just simply position her in the middle of the screen and press X to secure the position You will be automatically reunited with Rinoa after you have secured Rinoa.. Now Squall will carry his love and carry her forward in space and found a giant ship [Ragnarok] shown in a cool FMV. They will then enter the ship.

How do I defeat those Ailens at the Ragnarok A. Well, this is quite simple. You will not encounter any random battles here. Firstly you must defeat those ailens with the same colour first. Let's says if you have defeated the Purple Ailen in the main compound, you must then fight the Purple Ailen at the other side [refer to map]. If you did not, they will regenrate and you will fight them all over and again. Certain Magic Stones will appear after you have defeated them. There are 4 kinds of aliens and they are different in colours and there are two of the same kind. ********************************************************************** After that wonderful and romantic song, you will be now controlling Ragnarok and will be landed on the sandy area. There you will meet the people of Esthar including Professor Odain's assistant. Next Rinoa will leave. Head back to Ragnarok and enter the meeting room [the place where you find the controls, marked "C"] There you will find Irvine, and the rest except for Edea and Rinoa. After some conversation, you find Selphie and Irvine moving out. Once you approaches Quistis, the ground will shake, because Ragnarok has landed off from the ground. Now head for the controls room and you will find Selphie as the pilot. Now you will be back at the World Map.

Next head left and approached the captured Rinoa you will have an FMV: ** FMV ** Rinoa is finally being released by her lover, Squall and they will hug each other and thus leaving the Museum.

You will find Angelo in front of the house. Next enter Edea's house and look for Edea, after talking to both of them, exit.

Talk for quite a long time and here is the scoop: Elone has been held captive at the Pandora. Laguna wishes that Squall could lend a hand and helped him to save Elone, to prevent Time Compression from occuring. And must tried to prevent Altemisia from being reborn, she is that huge thing which Rinoa has unlocked.

Cast Cerebrus and followed by Shield all [reduce magical damage] and Barrier-all [reduce physical damage] Do not use G.Fs Queztalcoatl and Pandamonium. Use Leviathan's Recovery to restore lost health and use your special moves. ####################################################################### After defeating those two funkies, exit from this area.
