Lionheart Disc 1

October 23, 2007, 9:47 AM

Just wondering, how many of you have got the Lionheart on disc one? And how did you do that?

I got it yesterday right after Timber, for the Dragon Fangs i just levelled up and won them from a Mid-Level T-Rexaur. Pulse Ammo was the most annoying i was gonna Mug the Elastoids in Lagunas 2nd Dream but i wanted it before then, so i stuck out gettin 20 Elnoyle cards, bout 2 hours of playing Zell's Mum. And for the adamantine i won it from the Adamantoise on Dollet Beaches right after Timber.

Awesome to have it this early, everything is 1 hit lol. Plus my Squall is level 72, and he has around 180 strength. Junctioned of course.

bah cheating is no fun. I got it right after the 2nd laguna dream. I think I got the other items for it by playing the card game. I think I was lvl 50 when I got it. it was so long ago I can't remember.

I was going to try it once, but then realised that I couldn't remember exactly how to get everything I needed, so gave up. I can imagine it being awfully tedious though.

That is just ridculous. I cannot believe you can get Lionheart on Disk 1.

I never got Lionheart on Disk 1. I didn't even think it was possible. I thought you had to have the magazine first to even have the ability to create Lionheart.

Wow, all I can say that it wasn't every thought out by Square. =/ Most games you get final weapons near the end. Again this proves FFVIII is one of the easiest game out of the series.

yeah im pretty sure the only way you can get it on disc one is by cheating, because it doesn't become available until you get the weapons monthly first issue, which isnt available until disc 3 i believe?

Eh...? First disc...?

How’s that possible without cheating? I’m positive you need the Weapons Monthly Magazine: First Issue - to upgrade all of their final weapons (as well as the appropriate items needed). This magazine isn’t available until the Laguna / Lunatic Pandora Dream Sequence on the third disc...

*** EDIT...

Hrm... It seem it may be possible... I didn't think it was. Er.. I'll have to look into this.

Actually I've come to learn that a weapon becomes available the moment you have all the materials you need for it. you don't need the magazine. it is only there to tell you what you need to gather for whatever weapon. no cheating needed.
believe me, i was just as suprised when I saw I could upgrade on thefirst disk myself. I had not planned for it to happen.

I've heard of this before and I do believe it is possible. Problem is I suck at playing cards, so what is this about Laguna's 2nd dream? How do I do that? I can get the pulse ammo using ifrit and adamantine from converting the two brothers cards and the fangs from the T Rex.

Problem is, I need that stuff to convert into pulse ammo. HELP?!

Wow... It is true.

Just for yucks, I started a new game with a clean file... only giving myself (1) Adamantine, (4) Dragon Fangs and (12) Pulse Ammos, then headed into the town of Balamb and was able to upgrade Squall's weapon immediately to Lion Heart...

Here's what I found online... So I don't know how accurate it is, but it seems to be a pretty good workaround if you don't wanna use the card route.

"The hardest to get is the Pulse Ammo. You get the Pulse Ammo on Disk 1 by using the "Ammo-RF" ability on Laser Cannons. You get Laser Cannons from Elastoids in Laguna's second "Dream World". The Elastoids are most easily found in the room after the Detonator switch, that has stairs, and a lot of pink and yellow in the background. You need to Mug Laser Cannon's from these monsters. You need at least 3 of them for the weapon. Each Laser Cannon makes 5 Pulse Ammo.

If for some reason you miss the Elastoids, you need Energy Crystals to make the weapon on Disk one. And thats a pain in the ass. You get Energy Crystals by Card Modding Enoyle cards. 10 Enoyle's is one Energy Crystal. and one Energy Crystal=10 Pulse Ammo. This is much slower then fighting the Elastoids."
