Towards the start of Disk 3 we actually get the chance to add Edea into our playable party! While it is always fun to test out temporary party members, there are a few other reasons to make use of her. Especially for those of you who like me, are trying to keep your main party member levels on the low side.
1. Leveling GFs. This is the main reason I did this farm. Siren was lacking treatment (available at level 12) and there is no other good opportunity to level GFs while keeping party member levels low.
2. Curse Spike. I actually ended up with a healthy supply of these, almost enough for one dark matter after about 40 mins!
3. Malboro Tentacles. This is one of the items required for creating the Doomtrain GF later. Six are needed and you will get a lot more than that here!
4. Taking revenge on Malboros and leveling Edea to 100 is fun :P

Edea's limit break probably gives Squall anxiety attacks during fights.

I don’t know what’s I love more , the videos you’ve made or the Accent you have

[@Eweiit]

For those who don't play the Remastered edition, the Bio damage can be neutered by equipping Drain into ST-ATK junction. Also, I'd probably swap Str Bonus for Auto-Haste to nullify Slow and speed up the gameplay even further.

[@nuno09]

Auto haste is a good counter to the slow but i'd remove the treatment instead.

Cool strategy for devour too. Malboro gives mag up when it’s high enough level plus you can draw cast Demi to whittle it down

[@Deception975]

There is also a spot after you leave Esthar where Malboros spawn. NE of Lunatic Pandora Laboratory. So, you can use this to level up Doomtain as well.

[@PanTranPhee]

You can actually obtain Doomtrain while Edea is in the party - I always play LLG/NLG and I always get Doomtrain while I have Edea so I can get Doomtrain to 100 as well. Also, make sure to remember that you can speed this up by spreading the GFs out - they gain XP even if the one they're junctioned to is napping.

When does that happen? I'm right at the area for this, but unsure if I should do this, or wait till I get DoomTrain, as I don't know when is the best time to do that. Please help.

@@isaiahsmith8379 the naming is so close though, and I’m sure they have Marlboro cigarettes in Japan

[@MikeYeary]

Its Latin. 'Mal' translates to 'bad', and 'boro' translates to 'breath'. They used it as a pun in reference to cigarettes and bad breath. In the Japanese version of Final Fantasy games, they're called 'Moruboru', which translates to 'Molbol' in English, which isn't as interesting. In FFIX and FFXIV they actually went with the 'Molbol' translation.

I just want to say I love your videos and thank you for taking the time to do walkthroughs for this game. I beat this game when it first came out but i HATED the card game aspect. I also didn't understand the junction system. I got bored with the game about disc 3 so i just finished the game using a Game Shark, sad to say. Since I didn't truly beat the game like I did the others without cheating, I didn't take the time to understand the plot or explore so I just rushed through it. With these videos it really put things into perspective about how much that really went into this game. Now I enjoy playing the card games and junctioning magic. FF8 is a great game in this series and it sucks that it took me this long to realize it. Better late than never I guess. Cheers!

[@SilversTaurus]

Learning the junction system is a beauty on its own. Satisfying when you finally know the stuff about it.

I recommend junctioning only Diablos to one of the knocked out characters and the rest Edea isn't using to the other, all in order to maximize the EXP Diablos gets. That's because Diablos' GF attack (Dark Messenger) does %-damage of the opponent's max HP (or the damage cap) and that percentage increases with Diablos' Level. It doesn't work on most Bosses, but it's great against opponents with high defense.

[@CesarArturoCastaneda]

So Diablos is best when at max level? Why is that?

[@hernanmunoz8051]

@@CesarArturoCastaneda Diablos' Dark Messenger does percentage-based damage just like the other gravity-type skills, but that percentage is a function of Diablos' level. The higher Diablos' level, the more damage Dark Messenger does. Gravity damage can't break the 9,999 cap, but it completely ignores the target's defenses.

Farm Mystery Fluids > Meltdown -> Spam Renzokuken seems more effective

[@Doomguy-wl7sr]

Hey Fuzz, love your videos!!! I figured out a neat rng trick to this farm that was getting me the 10x cursed spikes every battle! I have only gotten this to work on the ps4 remastered version. 1.) Make sure Edea is lv. 100. This is to ensure that the Malboro enemy is at least lv. 50. My dead squall was lv. 29, and my dead Quistis was lv. 22. I am not sure if their levels made too much of a difference but the Malboros’ I was fighting were all lv. 60 after Edea got to lv. 100. I guess just make sure your other character levels are high enough to make the Malboro at least lv. 50. This is so it only lakes one LVup cast to make the Malboro lv. 100. 2.) Have 100 of each of pain, sleep, confuse and break junctioned to Edea as well as having her attack/strength at or really close to 255 with junctions/abilities. I also had 100 firaga junctioned to her elemental attack, though I don’t think this will make a difference at 255 attack/strength. 3.) Save, then exit via the exit option on the in game menu to reset the rng counter and return to FF8’s main menu. 4.) Load the save and make sure you put on 3x speed and mighty (clenched fist) boosters before you start moving. 5.) Here is where you need to be quick. Run around to initiate the rng battle with the Malboro. It should be your first battle no matter what because of the rng manipulation you are using in your video. Now you must be quick and cast the LVup ability before the Malboro’s first bad breath! This must happen!!! 6.) You’re done, sit back and watch as Edea goes berserk (also ignores all other bad side effects besides berserk) and rips the Malboro a new one! Voila!!! I got 10x cursed spikes EVERY time I did this! I don’t think it’s faster than tri-face farms in the underwater research center but for beginning of disk three it’s pretty awesome!!! I was able to get 4 dark matters about every hour this way!!! When I hustled and timed it I was able to save/reset, perform the fight and save/reset again in just under 70 seconds! Have fun bruddha, I hope it works for you!!! Thank you for all your videos and your time!!!!!

[@whiteeeveeangel]

If you have a Black Hole for Quistis to learn Degenerator, a Rosetta Stone already, and all the Bonus abilities on Ifrit/Siren/Brothers/Carbuncle/Leviathan, you can also start leveling up Quistis at this point too, using her Degenerator limit to just insta-kill the lv100 Malboros!

Love your content, up to this point now, not sure if you’ll read this, but I found that you can force blue dragon spawn with rng save/exit/load while hugging the mountains to left of Marlboro spot (Esthar- Nortes Mountains), there’s also a tornado draw point at the site also. Find it way easier than dealing with bad breath if you don’t have 4xST-Def. odd thing for me is, Edea always does two normal attacks, then third is always a critical.

When I did this, I used this time to get a ludicrous amount of healing items. I kept upgrading the mezmerize thing to mega potions and X potions. Did something similar with high and high +. Once I had everything healing wise I could get from them (including all upgrades), I just ground my mega potions for free money.

I use pain in the place of blind. Pain protects against 4 different status ailments. Blind, poison, silence and I can remember the fourth

[@jprec5174]

The problem with pain is if you cover too many status ailments the malboro will wind up spamming bad breath every turn. I believe they nerfed this farm, because when i did it (2021) the break timer starts at 6 and with pain junctioned I have to spam remedies every other turn as break is the only status bb affects me so the malboro just spams BB because no statuses land.

Heya, f8estly just want to say your ff8 guide videos are brilliantly vlear and extremely useful! Ive done this with Quistis using Degenerator and Str/Vit/Mag/Spr bonuses and you can power level her to 100 and get the 92 bonus stats for all 4 main stats (because HP is easier to max with junctions). It's much quicker than doing Edea because Quistis literally just uses Lvl up until the Malboro is 100 and the Degen it for an instant kill. I think it took about 20-25 minutes in real time. I'm interested to see how the rest of the game goes with one level 100 character because as far as I remember you can always pick and choose when Quistis is in your party for the rest of the game, right? So you can dictate when enemies are higher level or not, I think. It'll also mean I can power-level 2 other characters at once on the Islands because I can have Quistis set up to Degen the enemies and the other 2 both having Str/Vit/Mag/Spr bonuses. Thanks very much, and I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

My luck with Draw points are horrible (Only getting 5 Ultimas, or 13 at best; even with over 100 in Magic, even if I were to reset). If you have tips for quicker replenishing of Draw Points and other things, I'm all ears. Thanks a lot for the quick reply.

[@coralreeves4276]

@@arkavalon5347 Hi! Yeah, you can totally farm curse spikes and get doom train and shop around the city before losing Edea just make sure you never enter the presidential palace. Actually you can do this as long as Edea is in the party. She leaves your party after you leave Rinoa at the palace. If you haven't learned Tonberry's and Alexander's Call shop and High magic/medicine refines yet you should totally do that already. You can also use this time to abolish Lunar rules before going out to space so you can get the Laguna card and Alexander cards easier. About the Draw system it would be best to Junction Siren and Quezacoatl. They have high magic so anyone with them draws higher amounts of magic. the higher your character's magic stats, the higher draws he, she gets. When taking magic from draw points make the person with the highest magic stat draw from the draw point after making sure they don't have that magic maxed out in their spell inventory.

[@arkavalon5347]

@@coralreeves4276 I got the Call Shop and the Refine while grinding. Curse Spikes? Those seem to be a rare drop from Malboros, and I don't get those often. Not to mention that Malboros are rare encounters too. I've only gotten that drop twice, and Edea is now 100. The GFs are still quite low, with the lowest in the 47/48. So I decided to just grind/farm with the Mesmerize with their blades to turn into Mega Potions to sell off until I could grind for more Malboros. I haven't modified card rules yet, but I will do that after I get my GFs to 99. I noticed that RNG for changing rules are different in the remastered, so the guide I followed back then are no longer the same. As for Draws, it seems to be RNG as well, even if I had the same high level Magic. I tried resetting when I got 5 Ultimas from the Shumi Tribe, and another time, got 13 Ultimas after resetting, but it doesn't seem fixed either, as there are some that are stuck at the low amount. I made sure that there are no one with full stocks of Ultima yet, or more like I don't even have one character with 100 Ultimas yet.

[@InTheMindOfDavid]

I don’t know what it is about FFVIII, but it’s literally the only final fantasy I would do stuff like this for. Wether that be the OP Triple Triad Refinement, RNG Manipulation, or killing two party members to power level an other character. I can’t put my finger on way, it’s just FFVIII I’ll bother doing that for…. I might also do stuff like that for FFVII(Orig.) but I haven’t seen any videos like for FFVII like this guys FFVIII video series.

[@dean9288]

Can you do a video. Explaining which GF abilities should have Amesia Greens used? I had to use to remove Draw ability for Siren so she could learn treatment.

[@alexandrebrochu4265]

About any non unique abilities. Any stats junction that you have in excess (Exemple having 3 GF equiped on the same character all of which have HP-J). Any +20% support and later on +40% since you can easily replace them with +60%. Don't unlearn things like Luck-J, Eva-J. There things are in finite amount. If I'm not mistaken you can only have 3 GF total with each of these junction abilities. Once you are level 100 with everyone (Or you are dead set on staying at starting level) you can all safely remove every single Bonus support (Str Bonus, HP Bonus, etc...) of all GF. Oh and in case it's not clear the part about +20% and +40% apply the same with HP. Later on when you have +80% you can safely remove lower HP +% support.

[@technomage6736]

I'm surprised how many people feel the need to pay any attention at all to their level, or rather to intentionally not leveling. It's extremely unnecessary if you're junctioning and getting all the good weapons, cards,and items. If anything higher level enemies gives u access to higher level spells to junction, so it really evens out. You guys are gonna make the game WAY too easy. I beat the original 3 times and grinded a lot with no issues.

If you petrify the other two members of the party instead of killing them they will still get no exp. after battles but enemies will often waste attacks by attacking one of the petrified party members.

[@RedMarioXIIINanaki36]

Hmmm That Might Be A Better Idea. Would Save Time Killing Them! Or You Could Just Junction "Death" To Edea's(Or Seifer's) Status ATK.

[@CPTDOOMED]

If you petrify does that count as a death?

[@RedMarioXIIINanaki36]

@@CPTDOOMED No, "Petrify" And "Death" Are 2 Different Status Effects. "Petrify" Basically "Stones" An Enemy. The Way It Works Is It Prevents All EXP, AP, And Items.

[@kyril98741]

Learn card from that bird GF and card the monster on every fight. You will only gain ap and not exp.

[@dielaberbrudergaming6288]

you dont, farm during the seed exam with only seifer, keeps your lvls at the minimum(you can beat ifrit with just shiva and/or some ice casts, just draw them and flee) and you can have high lvl gfs after the exam.

[@SIDEKICKONYOUTUBE]

how is you HP healing ?

[@kpardi2]

You can level gfs without leveling yourself just card the creatures in battle and you receive no experience, but all the ap

[@FuzzfingerGaming]

Like you say, thats a great way for GFs to earn AP and learn new abilities, but they won't actually level up.

[@cyrusdefalco1155]

Cactuar island.. Farm all gf abilities in 30mins

[@warailawildrunner5300]

you and void miss the point, it's not about the ap for abilities.. it's about levelling the GFs in a low level game, specifically ifrit and siren as both need to level before some of their abilities become an option to use. If you're running a low level game like fuzz is, you don't want any exp, but the GF need exp to level. You can only level GFs at the start of the game with seifer, and at this point in the game with Edea.

[@jenniferhamels1176]

Waraila wildrunner The game is literally easy mode by doing a low level run. There’s no need to level GFs at all. xD

[@warailawildrunner5300]

@@jenniferhamels1176 Ifrit and siren need some levels in order to learn ammo r and treatment respectively. That's the only reason to level them. And the reason to do a low level run is so then you can take advantage of having the boost abilities.
