I decided to put this in a new post...
Okay, I beat Adel and now I'm in Ultimecia's castle...I beat Ultimecia, it was hard but I did, unfortunately, I got killed by Griever...so if anyone has any tips on THAT, please share...I need some good strategy to beat this thing.
Also, does anyone know how much HP it would have if Griever about lvl 45, maybe he's around 60.
Thanks for any help!
I can't wait to get this final battle over with so i can FINALLY finish the game!!!!
:-)
 
You do realise that there are 4 boss battles right?

Ultimecia, Griever, Ultimecia + Helix(es) and Ultimecia one more time.

Before the battles, refine your strongest cards to get rare items like Heros, Holy Wars and the such to make your party invincible to Ultimecia's attacks. Squall should have Lionheart (God help you if you don't), 100 Ultimas junctioned to his 255 Strength, Aura Spells. Everyone else should have ~100 Ultimas junctioned to their Elemental Defence so to provide a defence to all elemental spells. Junction whatever else you see fit to make your characters stronger. As for items, lotsa Megalixirs, Mega-Phoenixes, Phoenix Pinions etc..

Note: This is optional, but try to get weak level magics for all your characters, this will help against Griever.

First Battle: Ultimecia
A random 3 characters will be pulled into the battle. If you prefer a main party and want to use that, let Ultimecia kill them off but remember to do some damage at least. Once you have your 3 strongest, cast Aura on Squall, and unload Renzokuken on her. She can't do much to you in this battle.

Note: Use a Phoenix Pinion sometime in this battle.

Second Battle: Griever
Now, Griever will Draw-Cast magics from random characters. This battle will be quite easy if you have weak magic in your disposal because it will increase the chance of Griever using those. Alexander, Eden, Brothers, and Pandemona works well. Renzokuken does wonders. Once he is weak enough, he will use Shockwave Pulsar which will obliderate your party. Hopefully a Phoenix will arrive and revive everyone via the Phoenix Pinion in the previous battle. After that, Griever will heal himself so attack fast to kill.

Third Battle: Ultimecia w/ Griever + Helix(es)
Ultimecia has fused with Griever to create a beast which can Draw magic and has a powerful magic attack. To make things worst, Helixes will also be created. If there are 2 Helixes on the field, Ultimecia can use her Great Attractor spell (~1200+ to whole party). For the offensive, Eden, Renzokuken, Alexander, whatever else strong attacks you can find is in place. Always have Squall Aura'd.

Fourth Battle: Ultimecia
Hell's Judgement may occur. Holy crap everyone is down to 1 HP. For this battle empty everyone's inventory of Holy Wars, Heros, Megalixirs whatever. Watch out if Ultimecia Draws Apocalypse, cos an Invincibility item is really needed. Heal as soon as you see her doing that because it does 6000+ damage to everyone. As usual, on the offensive, use an Aura'd Squall's Renzokuken, summon (constantly) and fully Boost Eden, chuck Megalixirs at as soon as someone is hurt, Hero (or Holy War etc.) everyone and you should win.
 
Nah you should be okay I reckon. I read your 'Adel Help' thread and if you really have a level 100 Squall, you should be able to wipe the floor with Ultimecia (and again and again). Try getting everyone's level too 100 as well if you're not so confident. Just wondering, are/were you planning to fight (or have you already killed) Omega Weapon? Cuz if you have already whupped him, Ultimecia is no problemo. If you want to fight him, make a new thread and I'll give you advice. v(^.^)v
 
Renoa is ideal add her and a few auras and if you got all of the abilities you will beat all of the fights without ever taking damage. One of her abilities makes everyone invincible, and if done correctly you can get it to happen over and over.
Note this strategy is impossible to lose if you do it correct.

States where you get it and what it does

Overview of what it says.
Pet Pals Vol. 3 Teaches it.
You get it in Timber Pet Store.
Makes you invincible for a short period of time. (Same as holy war.)
 
Thanks guys [:
And no, I haven't fought Omega Weapon yet, I don't know if I will because I saw someone fighting it on youtube and it was really hard and took forever.
I don't have an aura's so idk if I can do the invincible thing
 
Invincible Moon doesn't require Aura, its a Rinoa Limit Break that makes your Party invincible for a while, same effect as Trial Holy War.

I rememeber you asking for Adel tips before, I tought by now you had completed the game, I believe you also haven't defeated Ultima Weapon, otherwise you could draw Eden from it.

I didn't found this game hard at all... Have you been drawing Magic such as Holy, Meltdown, Pain, Flare, Meteor, Hastega, etc... and junctioned all of them x100 on your stats such as HP, STR, DEF, etc?
 
I had no trouble because i did a cheap but easy stragedy. I used Aura's and took advantage of Squall's Lionheart, Zell's Armageddon Fist, and Irvine's Shot. I know Squall's iz random but Zell's iz bad ass.
 
The only other thing that I can recommend is obtaining the best Ammo you can for Irvine (AP at your point, Pulse if you've managed to obtain the rare items for it) and just go nuts between Irvine and Squall's limit breaks. Combined with Zell, you're sure to whittle away a lot of HP in a short amount of time.

I'd also recommend prioritising Squall's strength - Renzokuken is invaluable.
