Final Fantasy 8: Misc.

Underwater Research Area Obel Lake Secret Gain lots of EXP fast The Ending Sequence *Spoiler*

Underwater Research Area To get to this island, you must have ragnarok. Then fly to the south west. Close to the down left corner is a small island not showed on the map. This is the underwater Research Area. In here, you can get two GF:s, Bahamut and Eden, the strongest GF of them all. To do so in the easiest way possible, do this... When entering the first room youll notice that there are batttles all the time. Wrong! To avoid the battles, dont walk when the bright thing in the middle of the room is lit. I managed to get to Bahamut without having one single battle. When reaching the core, Bahamut will speak to you. Select one answer and youll fight a Ruby Dragon. Select another of the answers, and youll fight the Ruby Dragon exept this time he attacks from the back. When you have fought two or three Ruby Dragons, you must select the answer in the bottom. The trick is, its invisible. But if you press down, the mark will get on it. And then you can fight Bahamut. The tactic i used is the Limit Tactic, which means you cast aura and lets Squakll use his Renzokuken. with a little luck hell do a Lion heart and that should send the beast to join you. After defeating Bahamut, you can climb down a hole. Then you will be on your way to Eden. The only problem is that you have to have the right pressure on the steam in order to open the door in the bottom. Youll get an explanation of how to do in the first room. the most important thing is that you have 12 steams left when you have entered all the doors, even the last one. The steams are needed to start an engine very deep below the ocean. When you reach the final door, whatever you do, dont let Zell open it. If you do, you wont be able to run away from the battles in the next rooms. And since the batles mostly are Behemoths, you might want to run away sometimes. Anyway, when reaching the bottom, use the 12 steams to start the engine. this will lift Ultima Weapon (from FF7) from the sea. You will fight him. And while you do that, be sure to draw Eden from him.

Obel Lake Secret When you have the ragnarok, go to Timber. Next to the city, youll se a small lake with a surface different to the seas. Go to the small passage in the middle of the lake and press X. Youll be asked if you want to throw a rock or hum. Try humming, and a Black Shadow will arise from the water. The Black Shadow wants you to find Mr. Monkey. Take the train to Dollet, and but when you arive at the station, go in the opposite direction, from Dollet. Prettty soon, youll see a forest. Go inside it untill you see the monkey. throw a rock at him. hell say "You Suck" Go back to Obel lake nd talk to Black Shadow. hell tell you that sometimes strange tihings appear in the shores of Balamb. Go to Balamb and search the shore. Youll find a stone with letters on. Go to Obel lake again, and talk to Black Shadow, and then throw rock at mr Monkey again. Then again go to Obel Lake. Talk to Black Shadow and then go to the small Island next to the bridge that leads over the sea and find another rock. Go back to Obel Lake and talk to Black Shadow, then throw rock at Mr Monkey, talk to Black Shadow again and board Ragnarok. if Black Shadow said something about a lake on top of a mountain, follow the road that goes from Timber to Deling City, but when you reaches the bridge, land on the mountain to your left. If you have been on the ground down the mountain, you have seen the flod streaming out of the mountain. Stand over the flood and press X, and youll see some birds. Take their egg, and youll fight to Cockatrices. After you fought them, youll get another stone. Go to Obel lake and thor rocks in the water untill it skips "many, many times." Then go to Mr Monkey and throw a rock at him. this time, youll hit him and hell throw a rock back at you. this is the lastrock with inscription on. Talk to Black Shadow to find more special items hidden all around the world.
