How many of you have gone level grinding on the Island Closest to Hell. Or Heaven, I just prefer Hell. What strategies do you usually use? Did anything particularly memorable happen while you were there?

Normally i use the Degenerator trick. I noticed something while I was there, Odin hates Grendels. He has shown up during a fight with Grendels more than he has against any other monster. It's so weird. He never shows up when I'm fighting a Marlboro. Ever. Also I was back attacked by a Ruby Dragon. Can someone please explain to me how a Ruby ******** Dragon managed to sneak up on my trio of trained mercenaries? If I recall those things aren't exactly quiet.

Oh my goodness, that last sentence or two had me laughing out loud for almost a minute straight. Hilarious!

To tell you the truth, I personally have never did my level grinding there. I always headed to Cacutar Island for that(and my for my AP), but seeing as I still have a game to finish with some saves going back a bit, I will give that a try.

raise your vitality and elemental defences, junction sleep to elemental attack, use meltdown to lower the ruby dragons vitality to 0 and use limits to kick a**

Junction Blizzagas to Elem Attack And Firaga and Fira and Tornado to Elem Defence. 100 Tornados will cause your characters to absorb wind damage, and Ruby Dragons love to use Tornado for some reason. Also, try to get everyone up to straight nines in health. HP + 80% helps but only on the one character. Ultima junctions even better than Curaga on health, although that junctions really well on everything. Junction 100 of your favorite status effects to your weapons. I've got 100 Pains on Selphie, and 100 Bios on Squall. I would have someone up to, or close to 1000 with Cactaur and just 10000 needles the crap outta them. Also Diablos works really well against them. Shiva also does really well obviously, but don't use Pandemonium because Ruby Dragons absorb wind magic. And that's about it.

Wow. If I ever replay FF8 and actually get this far, I'd totally look back here. Last replay got me as far as the Fire Cavern. xD

That's not very far at all... but I know what you mean. I've NEVER leveled there so I'm gonna have to make it a point to do that this time playing through. 3nodding

XD When I first started playing VIII I didn't have a memory card, so I would always get up to the Fire Cavern, and then Ifrit would kill me and I would have to start over again. And then I got to thinking, maybe that GF stuff that teacher lady was talking about actually means something. I wasn't a very bright kid.

I have one now. I used to have a bunch, but one randomly died and another met an...unfortunate accident in a washing machine.

Ooo... dang. razz

I hope none of them had important game saves on them or anything...

I had two, but I gave one to my brother when he moved in with his PSone. I told him to not delete any of the saves on it and just use the free space. But would he listen?
Noooooooo.......

Well one that just randomly broke had one of my favorite VIII files on it. It was rather distressing.
