FFGuru89....Excellent

However, To get Lion Heart you need these items:

Dragon Fang ( 4 )
Pulse Ammo ( 12 )
Adamantine ( 1 )

Just like FFGuru89 mentioned, You can get Dragon Fangs by defeating Blue Dragon.

Dragon Fangs can be won as a result of battle from Blue Dragons if you have the Rare Item Ability on. I remember hearing somewhere that if you use GF Tonberry's Lvl Down on it (lower than lvl 10 I think) you don't need Rare Item. You can find them near the Shumi Village or on the Island Closest to Hell.

Correction: You can get Dragon Fang by defeating Blue Dragon only, You don't need to use Rare Item or Lvl Down.

Pulse ammo will be harder to get though. There are only two places in the game (that I know of) where you can fight Elnoyles - they drop Energy Crystals. One was the bridge in the middle of Esthar City, but as you can't now get there that's a knock-off. The other is in the Lunatic Pandora. I don't think you can get there either...

Correct, In this situation, I would recommend you to get Energy Crystal by defeating Ruby Dragon [ It drops Energy Crystals ] . This monster can be found at hilltops of Esthar or at Island Closest To Hell.

Or...

You can change Laser Cannons or Energy Generators into Pulse ammo but they're also pretty rare.

You can get Power Generation by mugging Blitz at Centra, Make sure that Rare Item is not equipped.Each Power Generator can be refined into 20 Pulse Ammos.

The last item is Adamantine, You can simply get this item by refining Minotaur into 10 Adamantines.

Good Luck

All that, I didn't know...

Thank's for the compliment OW and thanks for putting me straight. I honestly didn't know that Blue Dragon's dropped the fang regardless. I guess I just assumed because I had the ability on at the time, and Lvl Down worked for me. And I didn't know Blitz had Power Generators either.

A very knowledgeable colleague sir

Regarding Ultimecia khmaniac101

Well here's how I beat her...

I don't try to even out all six characters, after all she puts in three randomly at the beginning. So focus on your three main characters, and kit them up. Now here's the fun bit, if she doesn't summon the three you want, simply *bump off* the ones you don't want, which keeping alive the ones you do! Suicide!

After you get the party you want, then start plugging away. As you've got to the final form, I won't go into the other three stages...

If you can survive Apocalypse and Hell's Judgement then this won't be too much of a problem. Still, if you have any Heroes or Holy Wars, you could use them for this bit. Then plug away with Renzokuken (Aura or low health, whichever you choose though if you're going for the 'Invincible' option then Aura is a must). Your chance of a decent finisher to a Renzokuken depends on how many times you use the trigger, and how successful you are with it. I find that the ones with only four slashes tend to give me nothing or either Rough Divide/Fated Circle, whereas the six/seven slashes gives me Lion Heart more often. It may just be me, but I seem to get Lion Heart more often when I'm at low health, but that could just be random.

My personal recommendation is to use Zell (if you've read issues 1-5 of Combat King), Irvine (Exeter and Pulse/AP ammo can be particularly useful) and obviously Squall. I don't think there's any real strategy you can employ, other than a nice stock of Full-Life, the occasional Meltdown (which works on everything it would seem) and plenty of limits. Luck can play a factor too.

Having said that, good luck
