Final Fantasy VIII
No random battles:
Use the following methods to never have any random battle outside
of towns: rent a car for 3,500 gil, walk on train tracks, walk
on paved roads, or get Diablos' No Encounter ability.
Free Potions:
You can get free Potions in Timber Town in Disc 2. Get Rinoa in
the party, then go to the bridge (over the railroad tracks) where
you saw the guards. Keep returning until a man appears. Talk to
him, then talk to him a second time to receive a Potion. Leave
the screen and return until he appears again and repeat.
Easy Ability Points:
Go to Cactaur Island earn 20 AP for each Cactaur that is defeated
in battle. Cactaur Island is the small island covered by a desert.
Easy Experience Points:
Display the world map and travel to the left-most island. It
contains powerful monsters that can easily level up your
characters after battles.
Finding GFs:
One of the most commonly overlooked things to do in a heated
battle is drawing from Bosses. By using the Draw command, you may
find a hidden GF in a Boss. Try drawing from the Evorlet in disc
1 to find Siren. Draw Leviathan from Norg in disc 2. Draw
Pandemonia during the battle with Fujin and Rajin in disc 2.
Rare card locations:
PuPu
Look for UFOs to pass by during a battle in the following places
(you must have Diablos' "Enc-None"):
1. Outside Winhill Town
2. Mandy Beach, northeast of Timber
3. Heath Peninsula, east of Trabia Garden
4. Kashkabald Desert.
After sighting all four, fly the Ragnarok to the rocky cliffs
above the Chocobo Shrine. Encounter a UFO and defeat it. Then,
head to the crater where Balamb Garden used to be. You will
encounter a PuPu. Feed him five elixirs and you will be rewarded.
