I have a question: is it possible to get dragon fangs when all the monsters have high levels? For all the monsters that can give dragon fangs (blue dragon, grendel, etc.) from what I've read they all stop carrying it when they're over level 30. Is there another way, or am I basically just screwed? Thanks.

how do you get new weapons on ff8

**zell_dincht0808** · 05-31-2006, 02:33 AM

ZELL from HELL:To get new weapons you need to have a weapons monthly magazine. The weapons that are in that magazine then appear in weapons shops. Go to a weapons shop (they are pretty much everywhere) and try to get one, look beside the name of the weapon and it will say what items and how many of them you will need, if you have the items GREAT get the weapon now, but if you dont then you will have to go and get them.

Chocobo Forest:
Recently, I attempted to complete the chobo forest sidequest thingy so I could get the Chicobo Card. I done it and then it didnt work at the end.

This is what I did:
Firstly I flew the ragnarok to the Chocobo Forest "Next to Shumi Village on Winter Island". I went in there and caught a chocobo. Then I went outside
with the chocobo and released it.

Then I flew the ragnarok to the chocobo forest "At Sorbald Snowfield on Trabia's west coast, south of Shumi Village". I went in there and caught a chocobo. Then I went outside with the chocobo and released it.

I then flew the ragnarok to the chocobo forest "On the Nectar Peninsular, along the east coast of the Centra Continent, south of FH". I went in there and caught a chocobo. Then I went outside with the chocobo and released it.

Then I flew the ragnarok to the chocobo forest "East of Edea's house, in the Lenown Plains on Centra continent". I went in there and caught a chocobo. Then I went outside with the chocobo and released it.

The next chocobo forest I flew to was "On south side of the Talle Mountains in southern Esthar. I went in there and caught a chocobo. Then I went outside with the chocobo and released it.

Finally I flew to the chocobo forest "North of Trabia Garden". I went in there and caught a chocobo. Then I went outside and rode the chocobo to the Chocobo Sanctuary "In Grandidi Forest".

I went inside the Chocobo Sanctuary and I thought you were supposed to see all the chocobos there. Then I thought they all do a dance for you and you then get "Chicobo Card". Obviously, I have gone wrong somewhere.

Could someone who has done this sidequest please read through what I have done and tell me where I have gone wrong. If anyone knows a site in which they tell you EXACTLY what to do for this sidequest, could someone please post it here. Thankyou

**zell_dincht0808** · 05-31-2006, 05:07 AM

Well I have found a site and I think I know how to do it now so Ill try that out, and if it doesnt work then I WILL NEED HELP!

**Treize** · 06-03-2006, 12:05 PM

Blue Dragons drop Dragon Fangs at all levels commonly. You could also use Tonberry King's level down ability on Grendels to get dragon fangs. Personally I would just fight a blue dragon.

**zell_dincht0808** · 06-04-2006, 05:11 AM

How do you get dragon skins? I need them to get new weapons. I guess there are many ways so Ill ask, What is the easiest way to get dragon skins?

**Treize** · 06-04-2006, 11:38 AM

If you are level 30 or over you can get them from an Anacondaur. They should drop them almost every time. Thats the easiest way I can think of.

**matt1912** · 06-04-2006, 11:45 AM

is it drop or steal

**zell_dincht0808** · 06-04-2006, 12:55 PM

Where is the best place to find anacondars?

**Treize** · 06-04-2006, 01:36 PM

I think you can find them near Dollet. On the Hasberry Plateau. I said it was a drop.

**Clodan** · 06-07-2006, 03:01 PM

as for dragon skins if you get the zell card from his mother and get the items from it i think they will help you with some good weapons.

[/QUOTE] as for dragon skins if you get the zell card from his mother and get the items from it i think they will help you with some good weapons.[/QUOTE]

This is a good idea if you wantn the items quickly but I would like to have all the cards at the end and keep the file with every card so I can show off my achievement.

**thatguy** · 06-07-2006, 04:40 PM

If you don't feel like going to the card Queen just do these.

Zell-Go to the city of Balamb and challenge Zell's mom to Triple Triad, you have to beat her a number of times (I think... I haven't played this game for a long time, all I know is that you get his card from her... Actually I think there is a point in the game while you're visiting her after talking to her she will just give it to you... Not sure though.)

Rinoa-Challenge Rinoas dad to Triple Triad, he will ask you for the Ifrit card, if you have it you can wager it for the Rinoa card.

I hope those two were ones you needed, I collected them all, but that was a while back, I think you get Squall from Laguanna... I'm not sure of that though either.

If anyone can add to this, that would be helpful, thanks in advance.

**MasterSquall** · 06-09-2006, 10:31 AM

yeah you can get Squall card from Laguna
Zell card from Zells mother (she will not give it to you....you musst win it )
and Rinoa is From Rinoas father in deling city.....you can win back the ifrit card if you want ;-)
(win or winn? im not sure OT)

**Treize** · 06-09-2006, 11:41 AM

I'm sure this has been posted 100 times but oh well

Ward- Dr. Odine
Laguna- Ellone
Selphie- Selphie's friend in Trabia Garden
Quistis- Any of the Trepies in Balamb Garden
Zell- Zell's mom
Edea- Edea
Seifer- Cid
Squall Laguna
Rinoa- Lose Ifrit to Rinoa's dad. Then he'll use Rinoa's card. You can win back Ifrit from Martine in FH.
Kiros and Irvine are part of the Queen of Cards side quest
Kiros- Lose MiniMog to the queen of cards. Win Kiros's card from a man in black near the Junk Shop in Deling City.
Irvine. Lose Sacred to the queen of cards. Win Irvine's card from Flo. Flo is Mayor Dobe's wife in FH.
I think thats it. If you have any questions just ask.

If not you can find the queen of cards after you get the Ragnorok. She is in the Abadan Plains south of Esthar. You won't be able to see her on the world map. I think you have to land on the right spot. This took me forever.

**Clodan** · 06-10-2006, 02:40 AM

**Clodan** · 06-17-2006, 06:40 AM

I dunno if we can fght this, but if you want, you habto be very good. If you want try it, then you have to do this:
Alle characters sould be in the critic-hp-situtaion because they can use then her special-attacks. Then you must give all or some characters the element-attack thunder und you must power up the attack so high if you can.
Don'T use G.F., because they waste your time. Oter tipps do i not have.

I have been gegoogled in the internet and i find a site where stand that you get after the fight 50 ap, but idon't know what for items. Try it if you have this all what i explained. Tell me or us what you get because i don't know.^^
MFG Clodan

**Randomness** · 06-17-2006, 12:31 PM

Thanks, luckily I have saved prior to the fight so I can train up. I had an idea that thunder worked as the thunder GF (can't remember name) did much more damage than my others. I did waste a lot of time at the first attempt using GF's so I won't this time.

**Clodan** · 06-17-2006, 02:08 PM

But if you really win, then tell us please what happen that means what you get for exp. an other and what then happend in the story. This machine is destroy and then I want to know what happen with the one video on the beach.

**Randomness** · 06-22-2006, 10:46 AM

I'm back! Not stuck but lost. Just after the mission where you swap the carriages on the train to steal the president, who is fake, and you kill the fake president, you have to go o the t.v. tower in timber. Where the heck is the tower! Reference point the maniacs building with the journalists.

**zell_dincht0808** · 06-18-2006, 12:28 PM

1: Siren, i think.

2: You go to the shop and if you have the items you will be able to buy it, if you don't have them, you can't obviously.

**Randomness** · 06-18-2006, 12:39 PM

Thanks, I hate being this much of a n00b at a game but theres not much I can do at this point. You may be hearing from me sooner or later in this thread because I am finding this game much harder than X or X-2.

**zell_dincht0808** · 06-18-2006, 03:47 PM

Thats ok, Ill keep an eye on this thread for a while so whenever you ask a question, I can help you!

**halenite** · 06-18-2006, 04:07 PM

yah, siren is the next GF you get, but you need to draw it from Elvoret(?), or whatever it is on top of the communications tower. If you don't draw it here, you can't get it until near the end of the game.

Rainn · 06-20-2006, 11:10 AM

I need some help beating Fujin and Rajin on disk 2...

I've tried about 4 times, but i keep dying >_<.So now I figured I'd ask someone here. All 3 characters are level 26...I thought that would be good, but I was mistaken D: ...I'm sort of a "noob" at this, so if anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it =P

**Boco** · 06-20-2006, 11:22 AM

OK, cast Aura to your characters to use their Limit Breaks. If you could train more, your characters your jor would be easier. Your GFs are useful, too. Summon the GFs that are more familiar with your characters. Oh, and Selphie's Limit Break is cool. Try to use the best abilities. You may be lucky and cast Ultima twice or something like that. Also do not hit both of 'em. Beat Fujin first and then strike Raijin, or the opposite!
