Ok its Final Boss time. Everyone has reached Ultimecia as she idly threats the Party before randomly choosing 3 Party Members to battle. Note: throughout the 4 Battles all the Characters participate in a random order. If a Party Member dies and isn't revived in time Ultimecia will spirit that Character away and another random Character takes their place. All my Characters are Lv100. Boss: Ultimecia Lvl: 1 - 65 HP: 4,600 - 43,000 Weak Against: Poison Immune to: Holy Ultimecia fights 3 random Party Members to begin with, she will cast various Magic such as Blizzaga, Firaga, Thundaga and Holy. Ultimecia may cast Double on herself to hit you with 2 Spells instead of 1. Ultimecia's nastiest attack is Malestrom which is a gravity based attack that hits the whole Party and inflicts Curse. Cast Meltdown on Ultimecia to inflict Vit 0 and cast Aura to enable your Limit Breaks. Demi works well on Ultimecia but depending on your Party your Limit Breaks will make short work of her. When Ultimecia gets bored she will Summon the most powerful GF Griever who will fight in her place! Boss: Griever Lvl: 1 - 65 HP: 16,750 - 115,950 Weak Against: Wind, Ice, Holy Absorbs: Poison Immune to: N/A Griever is tough with a wide range of nasty attacks. Griever can blow away your Magic, instantly destroy your GF's, cast Triple on himself, Draw Magic from you, cast Doom, cast, Gravija and use Physical Attacks. Griever may cast Pain to inflict Darkness, Silence and Poison! Start with Meltdown and Aura if needed then pull an endless onslaught of Limit Breaks however... Keep your HP above 7000 at all costs as Griever will use Shockwave Pulsar when his HP falls to a certain point or if a certain amount of time has passed! Shell will reduce the damage of Shockwave Pulsar. When the ground trembles and the sky glows red you'll know Shockwave Pulsar draws near. Griever is weak to Wind, Ice and Holy but Demi has no effect on him. If Griever's HP is reduced to 0 before he uses Shockwave Pulsar he will use it then die instantly afterwards as if its a similar move from Dragon Ball. Following Griever's defeat Ultimecia Junctions herself unto Griever and causes Griever to mutate into a Hybrid! Boss: Ultimecia (Hybrid) Lvl: 1 - 65 HP: 13,050 - 176,250 Weak Against: Thunder, Water Absorbs: Holy Immune to: Poison Again start off with Meltdown to inflict Vit 0. Ultimecia will destroy all GF's if Summoned and casts her usual stuff. Holy, Blizzaga, Firaga etc. After some time a weird jewel called a Helix will appear next to Ultimecia, this gem gives Ultimecia the power to cast Ultima and a 2nd Helix gives her Meteor and the use of an attack called Great Attractor which isn't too damaging if you have Protect on. In this form Ultimecia has an unusual weakness of Thunder and Water and benefits from Griever by being Immune to Poison while Absorbing Holy. Use your best Limit Breaks and keep your HP up high. When Ultimecia suffers so much damage her legs and tail will fall off and she will resort to using Physical Attacks, Tornado, Quake and Ultima. Don't bother attacking the Helix as they counter with a laser and are quite hard to damage even though they only have 3000HP... I think? When Ultimecia loses 65% of her HP both Helix will die anyway so just focus on the big target. Following this defeat Griever dies for good and Ultimecia rises up from the void in her ultimate form! This is the Final Boss of Final Fantasy 8. Boss: Ultimecia (Final Boss) Lvl: 1 - 65 HP: 16,500 - 278,900 Weak Against: N/A Absorbs: N/A Immune to: N/A Ultimecia begins Time Compression during this Battle both Time and Space are slowly being sucked into her body. Ultimecia will spam a move called Hell's Judgement which doesnt kill you but leaves your Party at 1HP. This is her favourite attack and she'll use it even if she doesn't need to. Take advantage of this and use your Limit Breaks as often as you can. Cast Meltdown to inflict Vit 0 and increase the damage of your attacks. Ultimecia still destroys any GF's Summoned and is capable of using Physical Attacks as well as Holy, Meteor and Ultima. It may be a good idea to heal often as Ultimecia might just catch you off guard by hitting you with Ultima while your Party is at 1HP each. Later on a 2nd target also known as Ultimecia appears. This can mean big trouble as Ultimecia will then have access to the most powerful Magic in the Game! Apocalypse which is way more damaging than Ultima! Kill off this other part of Ultimecia before she Draws Apocalypse. When Ultimecia starts talking about Time it means she is nearly dead. Just keep attacking her when she says "And..." that's when you know she is at 1HP. As they say in Mortal Combat... FINISH HER! With Ultimecia's lengthy but epic Death she brings an end to my FF8 Boss Run. I do hope you've enjoyed watching my Vids as ive had fun Uploading them. Feel free to Comment, Like and/or Subscribe.
