Help how do you determine the final blow with anacondaur?

[lisacurtis77]

Hi i'm new here, thought I'd introduce myself, i'm Lisa Curtis from London, I'm a huge FF8 fan. looks lke a good site to get tips from other FF8 fans too

anyway, I can't seem to determine the final blwo on anacondaur as seifer being the last strike. does he have to have a limit break? i know he has to have a low HP but I was watching on youtube, the guy playing had the attack command non-stop. how do you do that?

and is there an order to get GF abilities as I couldn't find the Mug ability from Diablos eventhough I learnt most the abilities given to me. I also wonder about getting doom, magic, draw etc ability for Shiva.

Thanks

Lisa

you can use scan, just have seifer be the only attacker after a few turns, it really does not change anythign whether he gets it or not its more of an indirect tutorial

Shiva should already have Magic and Draw learned. She comes with them learned. You get the ability to teach her Doom at level 10.

As for Diablos,you should be able to select for him to learn Mug. There are certain abilites of each GF that you HAVE to learn first before you will get the option to learn a different ability. Example would be Diablos with Enc-Half, after you learn Enc-Half you will be able to learn Enc-None as it only shows up after you have learned Enc-Half.

To be able to use the Draw,Magic,Doom,Mug and other Commands,you need to go to the Menu,then go to Junction,Then Select Ability, and you will be able to choose from different Command Abilities and Support Abilities. You must have the character equipped with a GF for this to work.

As for Seifer,Im guessing you are asking how the guy on Youtube was able to have his limit break even without Seifer being low on HP? There is some magic in the game called Aura and it enables you to be able to use your Limit Breaks without being low on HP. If that's what you are asking. Although that magic,you get later in the game. It's not available where you are at now.

Hope I helped a little!

Also,It's very nice to meet you! Hope you enjoy it around here.

Seifer says to leave the last hit for him, but that's optional, you don't have to let him finish the Anacondaur. He just specifies that the character that delivers the final blow gets more experience points. I'm guessing you're still low leveled and getting the extra experience for Seifer probably isn't a big deal anyway, as he'll be out of your party soon anyway. But hey, that's totally up to you. Like Legolas said, just use Scan on it, figure the avg damage being done and figure who you want to give the final blow.

Like PrincessGarnet said, some abilities for GF's can't be learned until another is learned. For the early GF's, a few abilities like Doom and Ammo Refine don't come until that GF gets to level 10. And every GF starts with Magic, GF, Draw and Item already learned, along with some other stuff specific to the GF's themselves. If you're trying to use these abilities, the character must have that GF equiped, maybe you have all 3 GF's on 1 character? If the case then the character(s) that don't have a GF junctioned can't used Magic, Draw, etc.

Best of luck on the Field Exam!

Hello to you, and we'll do our best to help.

anyway, I can't seem to determine the final blwo on anacondaur as seifer being the last strike. does he have to have a limit break? i know he has to have a low HP but I was watching on youtube, the guy playing had the attack command non-stop. how do you do that?

If you're referring to what I think you are (Seifer demanding he get the last hit on the Anacondour during the Dollet mission)...it's unnecessary to worry about it. You don't miss out on anything if you don't do it...and you aren't rewarded for doing it...so never fear.

and is there an order to get GF abilities as I couldn't find the Mug ability from Diablos eventhough I learnt most the abilities given to me. I also wonder about getting doom, magic, draw etc ability for Shiva.

Okay, this is an issue. In order for some abilities to become available, you must learn previous "pre-requisite" abilities. Until you learn the previous ability, the desired one won't even appear as an option. For instance, until Quetzcoatl learns Card, you won't be able to teach him Card Mod.

However, I don't think Mug is one of those abilities. You know that you can go into the GF menu in the Pause screen and change which ability your GF is learning? Maybe you should check that and select "Mug."

As far as the last part of your question...Shiva (in fact, all GFs) should already have Magic and Draw. Doom is another of those abilities you should just check to see if she's actively learning it.

Hope that helps.
