Final Fantasy 8

Non-Abilities GFs

Some GFs obtained does not posses any abilities. Well, I have listed them down here. Hope it helps you. In fact, I add more information and also give some descriptions/tips.

Odin
Disc: 2 - 4
You can't summon Odin. In fact, it appears randomly, at beginning of battles. I guess it is based on the luck stats and *frequent encounter*.

After gotten Balamb Mobile Garden, proceed to the Centra Continent. Find the Centra Ruins in one of islands. Next you will find a timer at the top right-hand corner. Find and Odin within the given time limit. Just proceed the right ladder. Proceed up the elevator and you will find two vertical ladders. Climb the one on the left and proceed north. Examine the blue orb and next climb down. Activate the orb on the ground floor and climb up the spiral stairways. Find a gargoyle, take the ruby eye. Go up the stairs. Now proceed to up the ladder on the left. You will find another Gargoyle. Place the ruby eye and you will get a five digit password. Now take both eyes. Next proceed to back to the first gargoyle and put in both ruby eyes and the torch on the right lights up. Now input the password by using D-Pad and end with X. Now enter chamber and defeat it the Odin

About it's Summon Attack: Zantesuken ["Cutting Iron Sword"] Well, it is an instant killer weapon, however we can't have the Odin use his Gungen Lance of FF7... The Zantesuken typically works on all non-Bosses except for Cactuars.

*Frequent encounter* - Monsters that you encountered in a repetitive battles. E.g. you have encounter a Mesmerize in the first battle. Next you encounter another Mesmerize. Chances of Odin appearing, will be increased greatly

Gilgamesh
Disc: 3
Well, just get Odin before the Boss fight against Seifer at Lunatic Pandora in Disc 3. At the end of battle, Gilgamesh will replace Odin.

Attacks [wow! One of the GFs that have multiple attacks!].

Zantetsuken - Odin's sword ^_^;... refer to Odin's bestiary.
Excalipoor - does 1 HP damage to all enemies.
Excalibur - does medium damage to all enemies.
Murasame - does high damage to all enemies [isn't it Sephiroth's sword?]

Encounter: The Gilgamesh can encounter any part of battles.... even in Boss fights against Omega and Ultimecia, intervals of battles, beginning of battles. The attack will differ based on the sword that it picks.

Phoenix
Disc: 2 - 4
This GF is much easier to obtain and you just need to get a Phoenix Pinion and use Item command to summon it. You can get Phoenix Pinions through the following:

1 from Vase Piece Quest, refer to walkthrough
1 from Shumi Quest Part I, refer to walkthrough
Through refinement
Getting Mega Phoenix:
50x Phoenix Down -> 1x Mega Phoenix [Med LV Up]
Buy from Esthar Shop!!! (Familiar)
1 from girl with pigtail in Library during NORG's Anger
1 from Grease Monkey during the Fisherman's Quest
---- Refinement through Siren's Tool-RF
3x Mega Phoenix -> 1x Phoenix Pinion.

Attack - Rebirth Flame. Don't look down on this attack. Not only it causes fire element damage and it also cast Life on all characters. The Rebirth Flame can does pretty decent damage but weaker compared to Ifrit's Hell Fire. There is a slight possibility... where the Phoenix will be summoned!

Chicobo
Disc: 2 - 4
* Advanced attacks available if you have level up in Choco World. This GF is also quite easy to get. You need to get Gysahl Greens. But you must first proved your affection for it by summoning a Mother Chocobo at a Chocobo Forests. [heck... you can get ChocoBoy to help.]. To get Gysahl Greens, here are the methods:

Buy it from ChocoBoy [pay 6000 gil for 10x, 3000 gil for 5x]
Take it from Chicobo at Chocobo Holy Area [after completing the quest, paying 600 gil for each Gysahl Greens.]

Use Item command to summon the Chicobo.
