Most Annoying Battle in FF8

[Dodie16]

First time I played VIII, I hated that one mech that you fought in the Missle Base, because of the time limit. That timer stressed me out. It wasn't so bad in later playthroughs, because I had a better grasp of what to do.

I will ALWAYS hate the Propagators though... Not the actual fights, but the fact that you have to defeat them in pairs to kill 'em off for good.

As for just random enemy encounters, I hated fighting Red Dragons and Malboros. Both of those were such a pain to kill...

The propagators pissed me off quite a bit, actually. Totally forgot about them.

killing 20 tonberries to get don tonberry >_>

Also, in response to the diablo battle, I found it rather easy. The main method I use is to draw demi from him, then cast it on him. It will deal great amounts of damage (over 1000) and he will cast curaga on you (???). Repeat this process a couple fo times, then just finish him off with limit breaks which should be easy to use since his gravity attacks will lower your health to the point in which you should be able to without mashing Triangle.

edit:
Killing the mech spider whilst on the doller mission will give you a hyper wrist and 50ap.

....oh god, if I knew I could do that I would of saved myself from having a soar wrist lol. He is one of my fav GF's though, it looks cool what he does.

Adel came to mind straight away. The first time I played this game, I was about ten years old and I didn't junction magic to stats properly, relying on GFs all the time. Needless to say this meant I couldn't attack Adel without killing Rinoa, and I could never get past the fight.

The X-ATMO robot thing was irritating, but the ABP rewards for bringing its HP down were great for so early in the game, and I was always sure to master the GF abilities that required about 200 to get them out of the way. And then, of course, are Marlboros. You could guarantee they would ambush the party with Bad Breath when you least expected it, and when you had forgotten to save for a while.

Yea Ruby dragons and marlboros always popped up after about an hour of grinding and hit me with bad breath or breath and i was a goner

hero without a name i got something you might wanna try when it comes to boost. idk if you already tried this but i found a pretty sweet way to do button mashing if its a single button at twice the speed also. only down side is double the chances of it reseting unless you got sick reflexes. ok use your finger nail to push the button and instead of pressing down on it try sliding your finger nail back and forth over the button.

it may be hard to understand but if you try it on a flat surface its easier to get used to just put your thumb and pointer together and imagine your coloring a really dark line but make sure your finger nail of your pointer passes over square button

let me know how it works out for ya
