Easy Boost: if you have a turbo pad just hold the button

How to Attack Everytime with a Limit Attack:
First thing, during a battle, keep a character in "yellow", then when it's time to attack press the circle button till you get the "special attack option".

How to kill a t-rex with just one shot:
Make junction with "death" magic to the status attack.

Hint:
Haste isn't the best spell for speed. 100 Triples will boost it quite a lot more than Haste. In my game Squall kills something and his turn comes up again before it hits the ground.

Solomon Ring:
In order to use the"Solomon Ring" you must have these items:x6 Steel Pipes,x6 Remedy+`s,& x6 Marboro Tentacles....this item releases GF Doomtrain.

If your forgot to Draw the GF`s from the earlier battles in the game you can get another chance,if you want to complete your gaurdians like i did:

1.Siren=Tri Point
2.Leviathan=Trauma

2. Excaliber - Strong attack against all enemies
3. Excalipoor - Causes 1 point of damage to each enemy
4. Masamune - Extremely Strong attack against All Enemies

Catuar Island Hint:
You know that little sand island, out to the Southeast, called Catuar Island? Make sure that when you go to him, all your characters are junctioned with water to give you an added advantadge. Also make sure Leviathan is level 50+ his water attack will cause 9,999HP damage. Plus put the ability`s RECOVER & REVIVE on the character not using Leviathan. Also make sure at the begining of the battle to cast haste on all your characters, you must finish this GF off quickly or else he runs away and you must start over. One other thing this is also a good place to build up your GF`s the Cactuar, on this Island give you 20AP so after 10 battles you make up to 200AP.

Hint:
When you beat Omega Weapon, don`t go to the Last Boss with Ultimicia. Instead go to you character options and select "Proof that Omega Weapon Exisits". When you click on it, it will give you a recent background info on the creature that tells you how to beat it easier nexttime.

No Death at End:
(submitted by: bryan)
Equip auto-potion to Irvine and make sure you have enough final limit break aimo, have plenty of x-potions(no other potions). At the end when fighting Ultimicia, her final form you will be reduced to 1 but you will use auto-potion immediatly, but right before you use auto potion keep hitting Circle repeatably and you will get your limit break up and then get 100 % health. Keep shooting her until it reaches zero then repeat on next turn, you are bound to win.

Hint:
When fighting the first monster you meet in the fire cavern on the first disc. Try to practice a bit before you start to fight them. Train for a while. When you start to fight the monsters and trying to get to Ifrit (the GF in the fire cavern) fight until you get to level 20 or 24, it will make the battle much easier.

Attacking Sorceress Ultimacia:
You must first get Squall to be at level 100 and any two of the other party member. Get your party's to be well equiped and with their best weapon. Be sure to get Squall the lion heart which is the strongest weapon in the whole game. Also get him to learn the lionheart attack because it is the only way to defeat Soceress Ultimacia. She have 4 forms to defeat but you have to fight 5 time because she uses the GF she have before she junction herself into it. Get at least 50 full life, 50 life, 50 curaga and 50 other magice that dispells confusion, poisons or other harmal spells. Use Aura on Squall alot so that he can use his lionheart which will finish her first form off easily. Keep using Aura on Squall and attack with him and you will soon defeat her.

Learning Limit's Faster:
Use Zell, Irvine and Squall against any monster and let Squall attack his own party members till their HP turns yellow then keep pressing Triangle to access limit breaks early.

Easy Win:
This is probably the cheapest way to win. First get Selphie, get her to use her limit break. While in selection screen OPEN up the lid of your Playstation. You will notice that the game has halted, however when you use your controller you will also notice that the selection screen is moving. Choose whatever you want, select and close the lid to watch it happen.

Easy Exp and Ap:
First you got to get Odin then go to the island closest to hell. Then walk around and encounter a monster. If odin doesnt come to use Zantesuken run away. Keep repeating until Odin comes, and keep repeating until you get to level 100. This doesnt work for regular monsters because they have low hp. On island closest to hell, the monsters there are at level 100.

The Plan:
To get powerful spells easily is well...easy. First gain Diablos' Enc-none ability (you must complete the Enc-half ability first before this shows up), and junction it. Now go to either the Island Closest to Heaven or Hell, and you can draw all you want from the draw points there without encountering any monsters!

Don't Know Where the Islands Are?:
That's okay; the Island Closest to Hell is at the end of a string of islands southwest of Galbadia. The Island Closest to Heaven is just to the northeast side of the Esthar mainland; its the largest circular island in that area. The bad thing about the islands is that no matter how you try, the Garden won't be able to get onto the islands; so of corse you'll need the Ragnarok. Also without the Enc-none ability the monsters on the island are EXTREMELY POWERFUL, of corse that depends on how strong your characters are and weather or not you have Odin or Gilgamesh (Malboros are also on the islands!). But, there are many pro's to the islands. Not only are the islands chock full of spells like Tornado, Full-life, Holy, Triple and Meteor, Aura (which junctions well to your strength) draw points are very abundant and Ultima spells (which when teamed up with Full-life on your Elm-def, 100 of the spells each, can make elemental attacks heal you instead of hurt you) are on the islands as well! Another pro; right about when you've depleted all of the spells on one island, the other will have recharged itself with the same spells all over again ripe for the picking.

These weapons are the characters strongest.
Squall Leonhart=Lion Heart

No Random Encounters:
There is a way to not fight any monsters on the world map besides using Diablos' encounter-none ability. If you walk on a road or train tracks, you won't have to fight any enemies. This is handy early on in the game when your HP is low and need to get to Balamb Garden or Balamb.

Kill the zombie with one hit:
When you go to nagotiate with the president(disc 1) use a GF on him in human form and when he changes use Phonix down (by clicking on phonix down and when the people screen comes up press left)Then he should automatically be dead.

Fast Magic:
To use triple very early on in a fight , junction cerberus to someone with the initiative ability, use cerberus right away. now you can use magic x3 the whole fight!

Easy Limit Breaks:
Get into a battle, and wait until all characters time bars are full. Then keep hitting CIRCLE (TRIANGLE in the Japanese version) and eventually Squall or Zell will have use of their limits.

Secret G.F:
After reciving Ragnarok go to the bottom left of the screen. There should be a base there if you defat the boss (Bahamut) you will get him he will come on your side. After Bahamut go father into the base and you will fight Altema Weapon draw "Eden" from him.

G.F. Boost:
If you have a GF who has learned "Boost", this trick will work. While your GF is about to appear on the screen, hold down "Select" and you should see a hand pointing a finger on the "Square" button and a number next to it. Keep holding "Select" and rapidly hit "Square" This will raise that number which means more damage to the enemy. But make sure you stop when an X appears over the hand. If you don't, the number will start back at the beginning. Wait for the X to go away and repeat the process. The higher the number reached, the more damage caused.

Dancing Soldiers:
At the missle base near the begining of Disc 2 there is a way to mess around with the missle control. At the missle control panel, after setting up the error ratio, go to equipment. Press and hold Square and Triangle then press up or down to get a dancing elite guard or a normal one.

Infinite Items with a Pocketstation:
If you have Final Fantasy 8(US), a Pocketstation and a Memorycard, you can use the Pocketstation game Chocobo World to get Infinite Items. Just do the following:

1. Download the Chocobo World game from Final Fantasy 8 onto your Pocketstation, (Downloaded after you have caught a Chocobo.)

2. Start playing through Chocobo World, collecting as many items as you can.

3. Once you have the items you want plug the Pocketstation and the Sony Memorycard into your Playstation, go to the internal memory card manager and save Chocobo World into the Sony Memorycard (Warning: it takes 7 blocks of memory to store)

4. Start playing your Final Fantasy 8 game with the file that you have caught a chocobo with, go to the game menu and choose , get to the menu. You can then transfer the items into your FF8 game, choose the option to take Boco(the character you play Chocobo World with) home, which also lets you transfer all the items you have collected in the Pocketstation game into the Final Fantasy 8 game, and then choose the option to send Boco into the Pocketstation game again. NOW, get to the option on the Final Fantasy 8 game to see all the item you got from the Pocketstation.

5. Now comes the Infinite Item part of this cheat. Get to the Memorycard Menu again,but this time copy the Chocobo World files that are inside the Sony Memorycard back into your Pocketstation, and then do step 4 (transferring items into FF8) over and over again to, finally, get Infinite Items.

Note : you can do this to get 16 or more MiniMog abilities for all your G.F.s to use, just find MiniMog inside the Pocketstation game and then just do the transferring cheat mentioned again to do it over and over.

Easy Card Games:
Want to play any card game without those ugly rules you hate so much? Then don't spread them! By playing a card game with somebody that says they want to play with combined rules,and you accept,the rules will spread.To avoid this,when they ask you o play with combined rules,say NO.Keep saying no until they play with just the regular rules by just saying "wanna play" or whatever they say.

Easy Life Restoration:
As soon as you have Status-Attack-Junction,get 100 Drains and junction them to whoever has the ability.Depending on how much damage you do,you will be healed if you hit the opponent!

Lion Heart on Disc 1:
You think it is impossible don't you, but you are sooo wrong. It is very much possible to get the Lion Heart on Disc one and here is how. Because you do not need the mag to get the weapon all you need to do is get the needed items. First you get Adamantine from the Minotaur card. Second you get Dragon Fangs from a T-Rexaur between levels 20 and 29. Now get 20 Elnoyle Cards and refine them in to 2 Energy Crystals. Then refine the energy crystals into 20 pulse ammo. Now you can get the Lion Heart on Disc 1.

Gifts from Esthar Shops:
Cloud's Shop will randomly give you a Hi-Potion during the first visit, and an X-Potion during oyur second visit. Johnny's Shop will randomly give you a Hi-Potion during the first visit, and a Mega-Potion during your second visit. Karen's Shop will randomly give you a Hi-Potion during the first visit, and a Mega-Potion during your second visit. Cheryl's Shop will only randomly give you one item: the Rosetta Stone. Visit Cheryl's Shop during the Lunatic Pandora event in Esthar when you are in control of Zell.

Crash Site:
If you missed out on the Alexander Card in the Lunar Base, you can still win it from Piet. The escaped pod crashed in the Abadon Plains, which is south of Tears' Point outside of Esthar's cloak. Land on the island and search the area. You can't see the crash site, but you'll automatically get taken there if oyu step in the right area. Piet is sitting next to the escape pod cursing his bac luck.

Quick AP and EXP:
Toward the end of the game, you may need to do some quick level building. If you're looking for AP there's only one place to go: Cactuar Island. Each Cactaur you defeat is worth a whopping 20 AP. In no time, you can learn skills worth 200 AP. If you need EXP visit either the Island Closest to Heaven, or the Island Closest to Hell. Both are found on either the far east or west coasts. There you'll find only the toughest enemies in the game. During Quistis along and leave her HP in the yellow. Then begin each battle by using her Degenerator Limit Break. You'll quickly amass more experience than you ever though possible. Also, be on the lookout for a mass of Draw Points on both of these islands. They're all "unseen," but they contain the best spells in the game and they all refill quickly.

Control Panel Secret:
You can toy around a bit with the Missile Control Panel at the Galbadian Missile Base. Choose to go to the Equipment inspection screen and you'll se the equipment used by the Galbadian Army. Hold down both the Triangle and Square buttons and press up or down on the control pad. The scene will switch to either a dancing Galbadian Soldier or Elite Soldier. Pretty strange stuff.

Unlimited Gil:
You can make extra Gil with Edea's Letter. Take it to a shop and you can sell it for 125 Gil. It isn't much, but it can help if you're short on cash. Return to Edea's House and speak with Edea gain. She'll scold you and then hand over another letter. you can continue to sell her letters and get new ones to your heart's content. Granted this isn't a great money maker, but it's kind of humorous.

Finding the Ragnarok on Disc Four:
The Ragnarok is stil around and full of people from the C.C. Group, provided that you defeated the C.C. Group's King earlier in the game. It's a long trek, but you can win some rare cards that oyu may have missed throughout your journey from the C.C. Group's members. You can also use the Ragnarok to find the Card Queen, who's hiding somewhere on the World Map. While the journey to the Ragnarok isn't tough, it is very long and slow. After going through the second portal outside Ultimecia's Castle, you'll arrive in Centra's Serengetti Plains area just a bit north of the Centra Ruins. Check the World Map and you'll see a red dot southeast of your position. The red dot signifies the Ragnaork.

To reach it, you need to find transportation across the ocean, and without the Garden, you must rely on Chocobos. While on foot, head to the northwest and rap your way around the bay to the Chocobo Forest on the northeat tip of the Centra continent. Get a Chocobo and return the way you came. Ride the Chocobo to the southern border until you spot a beach. Ride across the ocean to the continent below, which will take you very, very close to Edea's House. From Edea's House travel to the east along the mountains. However, keep an eye out for a small pass through the middle of the mountain range. On the other side, you'll find the Kashkabald Deser and the Ragnarok. There's a fourth portal near the Ragnarok. Upon entering this portal, a new portal will appear in front of Ultimecia's Castle. Now you can travel to this location any time you wish.

Finding the Queen of Cards on Disc Four:
After finding the Ragnarok, you can begin your hunt for the Card Queen and explore the world. The Card Queen is hiding in the Abadon Plains, just to the south of Esthar. You'll find her near the escape pod crash site (the same place where you found Piet on Disc 3). Keep in mind that there's no visible sign of the crash from the World Map. To locate it, you must scour the southern tip of the plains until you enter the area.

Mandy Beach: Travel to Timber and explore the beach east of the city. You'll spot the UFO abducting a moai statue.

Winhill Bluffs: Travel to Winhill in the southern region of the Galbadia continent and explore the area southeast of the village and west of the rocky path where Winhill Bluffs meets Lallapalooza Canyon. You'll spot the UFO abducting a cow.

Kashkabald Desert: Travel to Kashkabald Desert in southern Esthar and explore the western part of the desert. You'll spot the UFO abducting a pyramid.

Heath Peninsula: Travel to Heath Peninsula in eastern Trabia and explore the small island east of the peninsula. You'll spot the UFO abducting a crop circle.

After you've made all four sightings pilot the Ragnarok to Grandidi Forest in northern Esthar and set down on the highlands just north of Chocobo's Holy Forest. Explore the area and you'll encounter the UFO up close. Unfortunately you must destroy that which you do not understand. Any attack will do, the UFO won't fight back, but you may want to take the opportunity to stock up on Demi first. When the damage is done the crippled craft will fly off and crash in the distance. You'll be rewarded for your heroism with an AEGIS AMULET.

If you're still curious about the extra-terrestrial visitor you'll have to travel to Balamb to find it. Explore the area near the crater where Balamb Garden used to rest and you'll encounter PuPu. There are two ways to deal with the creature: if you're bona fide blood-thirsty you can butcher the defenseless and decidedly cute little alien for an ACCELERATOR. If atonement is on your mind you may recall from reading Occult Fan IV the UFO was searching for Status Full Recovery Medicine. To offer amends make sure you have the Item ability junctioned to at least one member of your party and five Elixirs in your inventory before you engage PuPu. At the beginning of the battle the alien will ask for Elixir. Grant PuPu's request and the doe-eyed Oliver Twist will ask for more. Continue giving the creature Elixir and, when adequate health care has been delivered, PuPu will thank you by giving you the PUPU CARD. In either scenario you may want to take the opportunity to stock up on magic before administering PuPu's fate.

The Laguna Effect:
Depending on the actions you took while exploring the Excavation Site (a.k.a. Lunatic Pandora's Excavation Site) as Laguna on Disc One, you may be able to locate some useful items and Draw Points when you explore Lunatic Pandora as Squall at the end of Disc Three. The following covers the action taken by Laguna in the past and the result in the present.

As Laguna: Pick up the first Old Key near the Confuse Draw Point.
Later Effect: You can now access an Ultima Draw Point hidden in a doorway past the floor panels.

As Laguna: Remove a level from the middle floor panel to set a trap for the Esthar Soldiers.
Later Effect: The floor panel is now open and inside is a Silence Draw Point.

As Laguna: Find the gray detonator switch, and press the red switch prior to pushing the blue switch.

Later Effect: The door at the base of the lond ladder is now open Inside you can find a LvLuvG item.

As Laguna: Find the second Old Key at the first intersection.
Later Effect: Both boulders fall into gaps in teh floor, which enables you to get to some of the secrets listed here. It also enables you to reach a copy of Combat King 005.

As Laguna: Move the rock away from a tunnel wall to reveal a Cure Draw Point.
Later Effect: Searching the spot where the Draw Point once was, reveals a hidden Spd-J Scroll

Chocobo Forests:
There are seven Chocobo Forests in the world and there are puzzles in six of them. As you attempt to solve each puzzle, you may want to talk to Chocoboy and buy a hint for 100 Gil. You'll also have the option to purchase Gysahl Greens at 600 Gil apiece or ask a question for 10 Gil. When you've successfully summoned your first Chocobo, talk to Chocoboy before you catch her and he'll let it slip there may be something you haven't found yet. Use the ChocoSonar to find a secret hiding place. Sound the ChocoZiner and the Chocobo will dig in that location and reward you for mastering the forest. Talk to Chocoboy and he'll tell you the items are a sign of affection for those the Chocobos of that forest regard as one of their own. Each time your return, you'll find the Chocobo waiting for you in the open. To celebrate your first catch, Chocoboy will give you BOKO as a present. In the future, you'll be able to summon Boko during battle using Gysahl Greens and the Chicobo will attack your enemies.

Chocobo World:
Chocobo World is a self-contained game designed for use with the PocketStation. Save your game to a PocketStation unit and Boko can take part in a journey of its very own. Boko will grow in strength as it gains experience and can find exclusive Chocobo World items you can bring back into "FINAL FANTASY VIII". Unfortunately, as the PocketStation is unavailable to PlayStation owners in the US, Chocobo World can only be enjoyed by users of the PC version, where it's included as a stand-alone application.

'The Beginner's Forest' [Chocobo's Forest: Beginner]
Location: Trabia, Winter Island (just south of Shumi Village)
HINT: "Try to find a spot where only 1 falls down."
There are four Chicobos in this forest. The spot Chocoboy refers to in his clue is in the far-left corner of the clearing. Use the ChocoZiner in this location and a lone Chicobo will fall down.

Location: Trabia, Sorbald Snowfield (west of Trabia Garden)
HINT: "You have to blow the whistle twice."
There are five Chicobos in this forest. You'll detect Chicobos in a large area in the center of the clearing. Stand in the center of that area and sound the ChocoZiner to make three Chicobos fall. Stand over either of the two nearest Chicobos and sound the ChocoZiner to send two of them back into the trees. Catch the remaining Chicobo and the mother will appear. Use the ChocoSonar on the left edge of the clearing to find the hidden location of a FLARE STONE.

When you find it, use the ChocoZiner to summon the solo Chicobo and catch it to make the mother appear. Finding the hidden items will be just as difficult.

Use the ChocoSonar to find the Chicobo to the left of Chocoboy and sound the ChocoZiner to make the last Chicobo appear. If you stand over it and use the ChocoZiner again, the Chicobo will walk into place and bowl the others back into the trees. Catch it and the mother will appear. Use the ChocoSonar in the far right corner of the clearing to find the hidden location of a METEOR STONE, a FLARE STONE and an ULTIMA STONE.

'The Enclosed Forest' [Chocobo's Forest: Expert]
Location: Esthar, Talle Mountains
HINT: "Collect on outer side, then go in."
There are five Chicobos in this forest. There are six distinct Chicobo locations: (1) on the path in front of Chocoboy, (2) to the right of the rock behind him, (3) in the far-left corner of the clearing, (4) on the near side of the rock at the far side of the clearing, (5) to the left of the rock on the right side of the clearing, and (6) in the center of the clearing. Begin by sounding the ChocoZiner at [1 or 2 THEN 3] or [3 or 5 THEN 1 or 2] to get two Chicobos on the left side of the clearing. Sound at [4 THEN 5] to get the remaining two 'outer' Chicobos to fall. Sound at [6] to send them all into the trees and a single Chicobo will drop to the center of the clearing. Catch it and the mother will appear. Use the ChocoSonar in the far right corner of the clearing to find the hidden location of a METEOR STONE, a HOLY STONE and an ULTIMA STONE.

Chocobo's Holy Forest
Chocobo's Holy Forest is so sacred and remote it can only be reached by Chocobo. Catch a Chocobo in the Roaming Forest near Trabia Garden, ride it southeast across Bika Snowfield to Heath Peninsula, and head south across the shallows until you arrive at the beach on the west coast of Grandidi Forest in Esthar. Make your way through the narrow valley and head northeast through the forest to find it (be careful, it's very easy to get lost). Visit this forest when you've mastered all six Chocobo Forests and the mother Chocobos will treat you to a celebratory dance. After the ritual, talk to the Chicobo and it'll give you the CHICOBO CARD. On your way out, talk to Chocoboy and ask for one last 'Help Me'. The master Chocobo catcher will summon a Chocobo for you to ride out of the forest and bid you a permanent farewell. (NOTE: From this point forward, you'll need to return here if you want Gysahl Greens. Each time you enter the Holy Forest you can talk to the Chicobo and it'll give you one for 600 Gil.)
