WHATS SO FUNNY, ZERO!?
So glad Im finally done with this one.

This stage is the worst. At least for me so far. Thanks to Demulant for the encouragement and the tips. Thanks to x master x master for tips for the Zero Nightmare glitch.

6-1 is not a problem once you know 3 things:
First, fire a charged shot as the Gravity Well is wearing off in order for the plasma trail to destroy any incoming fireballs from Heatnix.
Second, that when Heatnix summons the magma, you need to be on the ground. That way hell summon the magma in the lower half of the screen and it will make your life way easier. Thanks to Demulant for that one. I cant believe I didnt know that.
Third, when Heatnix goes berserk and goes off screen to do the God Bird attack, fire a Gravity Well just before the screen stops shaking. If you time if right, the Gravity Well will freeze him before he hits you and youll have plenty of time to get out of the way.
6-2 is a problem.
I use the tornado weapon to get rid of Dinorex. First, buster, then when he starts sticking to the wall, I start charging the weapon and firing it at just he right moment. Remember that you have to press the d-pad away from the wall to fire the tornado in that direction.
Wolfang is the wild card in this fight. Quite litterally. In the first half of the fight, hes not so bad. Learn to stay on the wall when hes going to jump at you or fire Ice Bursts at you. Only slide down the wall to hit Dinorex when you see an opening in Wolfangs pattern. When Wolfang sticks to a wall, drop down and lure him to dash to the ground.
In the second half (When Wolfang is almost dead), pray that he will do the Ice Fragment or Ice Burst attack for you to deal some easy damage.
If he dashes on the ground, youre in trouble. Jump off the wall and hover. Look for an opening to land, then fire at him and destroy his ice spikes too. Hope he wont dash around multiple times.
WATCH OUT! When his spikes or ice bursts explode, the shrapnel deals damage!
If he dashes on the ceiling, first a single normal tornado if you have some left to destroy an ice spike above you. He always dashes on the ceiling after 3 Ice Fragment attacks.
You have to learn this one. You have to feel it. You have to be in the zone. It is quite difficult.
6-3 Oooooo boy... In this fight, I use a glitch. It seems if you hit Zero fast while hes doing a (Shot-Shot-Saber Wave) combo and then head for the upper right wall, after that, Zero will reappear, do a triple combo (Shot-Shot-Saber Wave) and then after the wave, if he vanishes without moving, that means hes going to appear in the lower right corner and remain stuck there if you stay on the wall. Now this glitch is random. He doesnt always do it. Sometimes he wont vanish after his second combo. Hell do other stuff. If he does, the glitch wont happen (At least not right away)
With the glitch triggered, stay up there, fire the Frost Tower when Sigma starts to dash around. or when he is on the left side of the room. The idea is to avoid damaging Sigma as much as possible. You dont want Sigma to start his near-death pattern while Zero is there!
When Zero says Owari da!, that means hell pound the ground and energy shots will come up at you. When you hear this, jump off the wall and hover to dodge the shots. Dont go back tot he wall too fast or you will get hit.
When Zero is down the only problem is Sigmas double blue wave of death. The most consistent way Ive found to dodge it is to stay on the ground close to the wall and do a full forward jump. Press jump just after youve heard the sound effect of the double wave being fired.
Fighting Zero Nightmare normally is incredibly difficult with Sigma around. You have to manipulate Zero to appear on the right side for you to head to the wall behind him before he attacks. Once you manage to do that, you can hover off the wall to lure Zero to dash towards it and then hit him with the Saber. But with Sigma around, I find it incredibly hard to process all this stuff quickly enough. especially with such high damage being dealt to you.
You can also go behind Zero on the left side (not the right side) to hit him while he shoots the tall waves of energy. Again, thanks to Demulant for this strat. Sigma must not be in the way though...
As Demulant told me: Never give up!

Again, Ive beaten this challenge twice. This time due to forgetting to record the first time.
The worst part of this is dealing with Vile in 3-3. He fires a hard-to-dodge spread of shots that paralyze you and he can also grab you which can lead to disastrous and frustrating consequences. Practice, practice, practice!
Here is a couple of tips for 3-3 that I didnt mention.
- When using the Ray Splasher, try to make one salvo hit Vile as well as High Max. Saves ammo and deals damage to Vile too.
- If you are going to switch sides with Vile, dash under Vile right as he starts a jump to get under his fire easily. Learn to time this.
- Remember Viles fires goes after you when it lands. Use the Hover ability if you have to.
- Vile will sometimes randomly dash towards and grab you. He usually does it after paralyzing you but he might do it completely out of nowhere.
- Its okay to get grabbed by Vile sometimes. For example, if one of High Maxs energy orbs is coming your way and there wont be a way to dodge it, it better to get grabbed by Vile, since this does less damage than taking the orb in your face.
- I know it wont happen all the time, but try to lure Vile to be on the same side as High Max, far away from you. This is the best situation possible. This is when you can both stun High Max and hit both of them with the Ray Splasher.
- After creating his shield, High Max will either drop down to ground level and proceed to fly towards the other side of the room sweeping the whole room with his gigantic hit box; fire out an energy orb; or start charging to send his shied at you. Learn how to deal with these attacks. The energy orb stops your charged shots so try to shoot him before the orb comes out or after dodging it. Watch out when he sends his shield after you, both parts of the shield will come out horizontally. And they hurt a lot. Stunning+hurting him quickly after that will prevent the shield from attacking you.
Hard Mode bosses deal more damage (especially collision damage) and they take less damage as well. You have to practice and learn how the bosses work. A lot.

Still my favorite boss fight in the game. On Expert difficulty, I find that the differences kinda play in your favor. At least for the second and third phase of the battle. Besides the ring attacks being faster, the main difference is that the clouds scroll in the opposite direction. This makes your life difficult for the first phase but if you bring the Roundabout, you can deal plenty of damage while concentrating on dodging his attacks. The main thing to do is watching out for his tail. This attack still takes me by surprise. Listen for that warning noise. This phase is made tricky by the fact that you have to perform 3 parries to get the S Rank, So you have to make this phase last until you can get 3 parries from the energy ring attacks.
For the second and third phase, just bring the Lobber and youll be alright. Watch out for the little scream his fire minions make before attacking you and try to stay at the top of the screen for the third phase while you pelt him with Lobber EX attacks. His Flamethrower attack always occurs in the middle of the screen horizontally.

50:18 Bonus: The End
Preparing:
Junction 100 Deaths to Status Defense to avoid LV5 Death if your characters have a level that is a multiple of 5.
Boost your HP to 9999.
Boost your speed and strength as much as you can using junctioned magic or character abilities. You can refine Ultimas, Auras, Full-Lifes, etc. from various items.
Use Aura to get Squall/Zell/Irvine to use their limit breaks as often as possible.
Have Lion Heart equipped to be able to use the limit break of the same name which will be your best move to deal damage. Unfortunately whether Squall uses it or not is random...
Equip the Defend command on two characters (Defend is learned by Brothers and Cactuar. You cant teach Defend to other GFs unfortunately)
To boost my speed further and get as many actions as possible without the boss being able to do something, here I have Auto-Haste and Auto-Protect on everyone.
To teach GFs Auto-Haste, use an Accelerator item. You can get Accelerators by modding the Kiros Card.
To teach GFs Auto-Protect, use a Steel Curtain. You can get a Steel Curtain from refining 20 Adamantines using Edens GFAbl Med-RF ability.
You can get your rare cards back from the CC Club members in the Ragnarok in endgame if you completed the CC Club side quest. This allows you to farm powerful items and abilities.
To get Megalixirs:
https://guides.gamercorner.net/ffviii/items/megalixir
Fighting the boss:
The boss attack order goes as as such:
- Always starts from LV5 Death (Kill any character whose level is a multiple of 5 (Bad news if you are at LV100))
- Meteor (Non-elemental magic damage to random characters)
- Megido Flame (9998 DMG to everyone)
- Gravija (Ineffective if you are at 1 HP)
-Terra Break (More often than not will kill everyone who is not defending)
- Ultima (Heavy non-elemental magic damage to everyone)
- Light Pillar (Kill one character)
- Start over again from Meteor
The boss might insert random physical attacks and LV5 Death into this mess every once in a while. Not much of a problem if you have decent Evade stats.
Start off by casting Meltdown on him to maximize all further damage. (I dont like to summon Doomtrain because it takes longer.
Use the boss wasted turn at the beginning as an opportunity to cast Aura on your damage-dealers at the beginning.
Use the item command to consume a Megalixir after the boss casts Meteor in preparation to survive Megido Flame which deals 9998 damage (You have to be at full 9999HP to survive). Use the situation of having your characters at 1 HP as an opportunity to trigger your limit breaks if youre not under the effects of Aura.
Keep dealing damage but prepare to use Defend before the boss uses Terra Break. It will make the character invulnerable to physical attacks until he/she takes another action. Gravija always comes before Terra Break so remember this as your cue to use Defend. Heal up you dead character after Terra Break to survive Ultima that comes after. Defend wont protect you from Ultimas magic damage.
Light Pillar kills one character so be ready to heal up as well.
Have your support character (Rinoa in my case) in standby if you know a character will die so that you can quickly heal.
If you really dont know what to do with a certain characters turn and Squall/Zell/Irvine is not on Aura, cast it so youll have more opportunities to deal damage and take priority over the boss actions. Or wait and see what happens.
You can use a simple Phoenix Down or Life spell to bring a KOed character back if you know a super strong attack is not coming too soon. You can use the low HP of the resurrected character as an opportunity to perform a limit break.

Commentated version
Version with no commentary: https://youtu.be/FpT922FpoQo
7-1 Equip the Electric Spark. Keep charging it to hit Armadillo and eventually remove his armor. The important thing though is to hit Turtloid with it because 2 hits from the charged version will destroy the green gems on his shell. Try to time your charged spark to take out all the missiles he fires at you. After than, just move in and spam mid-charged shots on him. Focus on repeating that same pattern on Turtloid. Eventually Armadillo will just fall to the charged sparks you keep firing. Remember you can duck under Armadillos shots.
7-2 Charge the Spinning Blade and keep using it on Tiger. Staying in one of the upper corners is a good strategy. Just keep watching Tiger and be ready for whatever he does. Penguin can sneak up on you so try to watch for him when he gets too close. This one is tricky. You just have to practice and somehow pull it off.
7-3 I like to focus on getting rid of Scaravich first. How to do this? Arrange for Scaravich to come from the left side of the room while you camp as far as you can in the lower right corner. Duck. Do NOT camp in the lower left corner. If you stay there, Sheldon can throw his bouncing shells directly at you. He cant do this to you if you are in the lower right corner for some reason.
MAKE SURE YOU JUMP AND HOVER WHEN SHELDONS SHELLS ARE THROWN AT YOU.
So while you are in the lower right corner, watch and listen to Scaravich and what he does. Watch the type of ball he is rolling. Depending on the ball hes pushing around, you have to do different things. The goal is to keep him coming from the left side. If you hit him while he is rolling his ball, hell switch sides and escape to the side from which he came from. DO NOT FIRE AT HIM until you see the ball he is pushing.
When Scaravich is off screen, listen to him. If he screams, that means that hes pushing a large ball so prepare for it. It also means its not going to be a lava ball. So you can safely shoot.
If the ball is light brown: Just shoot a fully charged shot while he is pushing his ball. The shot will go through the ball and hit him. When he escapes, keep firing mid-charged shots to deal more damage to him.
If the ball is purple: It is armored so your buster shots wont go through. However, the plasma trail of the fully charged shot will hit him if you time the shot to hit the ball while its rolling. If you fail to hit him and you see that Scaravich will hit you or manage to cross the room, fire an anchor so that it will hit Scaravich. The anchor goes through everything.
If the ball is made of lava: This is why you must not fire until you see the ball. When hit by one of your shots, lava balls will cause a big ball of rock to fall on top of you. If you see that hes coming with a lava ball, wait for an opening in Sheldons attacks to fire a charged shot at Scaravich, then dash forward to avoid the falling rock. This will make Scaravich go back from where he came from at the same time. Note that when carrying a lava ball, Scaravich will never scream.
Sometimes Scaravich will briefly stop pushing his ball to do nothing or shoot you. If he does that, wait for him to start pushing again before you fire at him.
When Scaravich is defeated, you have to know how to react to Sheldons attacks.
Position yourself on one of the top ropes and wait to see what Sheldon will do.
If he creates a clone of himself before disappearing, hell do one of two thing:
- Simply try to hit you from both sides at ground level. Just stay at the top of the room and youre fine.
- Throw two shells that will bounce around the room. To dodge this, either head to the corners and duck, or do a full jump towards the middle of the room from the top rope and hover when at the apex of your jump. Dont move. your hover will last through the entire attack. I prefer doing the hover thing.
If he starts bouncing around the room without creating a clone of himself, just wait and dash jump to the other rope when hes about to bounce to your side of the room.
When he goes to ground level to throw his shells like boomerangs, dash jump from the rope to the ground behind him and spam shots to damage him.
When below half health, hell add 2 attacks to his repertoire:
If he creates energy barriers around himself, fire a fully charged shot at him. The plasma trail will hit him 3 times. Jump to ground level and wait for the plasma to hit him 3 times, then fire an anchor at him to cancel his attack.
If he appears in the center of the room and starts charging up, jump and hover to avoid getting hit by the 4 shells, then drop to the center of the room. Wait for him to come out of his shells, then fire an anchor at him if he comes your way.
