3.1 Edea Reveals All

Now Squall will be back lying on his bed in the Dormitory. Next he will head and look at the injured Rinoa and then Quistis will inform Squall to head for Edea's house which is the building with lighthouse.

You can now get to the World Map through the Central Gate or through the controls. Either way will result you, forming a new party however you can't have Rinoa in your party at this moment of time.

Now enter the house on the left of that island [it's with the lighthouse]. Now you will head up to the building and you will find the rest of your party members outside house. The house seems have been damaged and been abandoned for a long time. Now head up and enter the house.

You will find an item on the ground [it's the Timber Magazine]. Next enter the room located at the north and draw some magic from the magic stone located there. Now head back and enter the right side which will causes you to meet Cid. Now head right and you will meet Edea along with her husband....

Here is some great news. You can win Edea's Card along with Seifer's Card by winning a Card game from Cid and Edea. Edea will tell you about something and here is the scoop:

SCOOP: A witch named Altemisia from the future always want the power to compress time [i.e. allowing people in the past, the present and the future to live in the same time] She's searching for someone whom have some memories of the past, Elone. Rinoa could be the person for the present. Edea tries to refuse it but as in a result, was forced in the process.. Edea thinks the only solution is to prevent Elone from being captured by that evil witch... for Elone has mysterious powers.

Just simply talk to Edea about 4 times and then attempt to exit and you will be called back by Edea and your party. Next you will be back to the Controls of Balamb Garden, 3rd Floor.

PS: You can get another copy of the Weapon Upgrading Guide at the Training Center [enter the left door where you find the materials.] Search the ground, it's somewhere around there.

3.2 Switching Scenes

After regaining control of Squall, have two persons in mind and have G.Fs equipped especially the Shiva. Next head for the infirmary where Rinoa is. Now time will be transported to the past....

Before that you will have a party change like whom is representing whom in the past. Squall, of course is going to represent as Laguna and have those two characters represent as Kiros and Ward.

Now Laguna, along with his bundies, Kiros and Ward are doing their prepartions for a play. Ward and Kiros are asked to dress as the evil Dragon and thus make their prepartions....

Now Laguna will enter the stage dressed as shining Knight armed with a sword. Now Laguna head forward towards the princess and the director after some conversation, a gigantic red dragon appears and head down the slopes. Laguna thought that the dragon is Kiros and Ward in disguise but he is mistaken, it is a real Rubulmdragon! Now you have another sub-game, a sword fighting game!

MINI-GAME: Laguna's a dragon-slayer!

    Square : Defend
    X : Attack

NOTE: Laguna's Life Bar will be shown at the low-left corner, while the Rubulmdragon's Life Bar is at the low-right corner.

S T R A T E G Y
Similar to the last sub game you have at Balamb Garden, you will be forced to take some damage. Laguna is not fighting the Dragon with his machine gun but a knight sword. This sub-game is pretty simple. Just simply return fire after the Dragon has attacked. As the Dragon attack Laguna, hold Square and Laguna will defend thus recieving no damage. It's just a piece of cake ! Well if you are defeated, choose the 1st option to resume the game.

After you have completed the mini-game, Laguna will head down but he was trapped ! Luckily, Kiros and Ward came to his rescue, then you will have two options. The first one will FIGHT the dragon instantly, but note that neither Kiros and Ward were equipped with G.Fs, so take note. Choose 2nd option which will result Laguna and his party to run. Next you will need to head left. In the first screen, you will find a Save Point, so head up and until you reach the top of the cliff. Now head back down, note that you will encounter random battles and fight the sub-boss, he's a bit tough.

. .
SUB-BOSS NO. 2: Rubulmdragon
Name: Rubulmdragon Level: 28 HP: 18,468
Attacks: Bite, Claw Swipe, Dragon Breath.
Facts: Weak vs Cold/Holy, Nullifies wind and fire-based attacks
Draw: Wind, Fire 2
AP gained: 14 AP

Strategy
This guy is much tougher compared to the T-Rex. He has pretty high- damaging attacks about 500+ HP damage. Next what you draw from the BOSS cannot be use to fight AGAINST him. Use Shiva [hopefully you have accquired the Aid Command] and Alexandar to dish out damage. Use other G.Fs too except for Pandamonium and Ifrit. Use Cerebrus for fast- casting of spells. The BOSS has a Dragon Breath which does damage to all members. You can get the Dragon Fang by using Bundoru on it. . .

After defeating the BOSS, Laguna and his pals will be watching over the evening sun, then the screen will fade... Next you will be back with Laguna talking Edea ? Next you will be back to Squall and his party. Now heal your characters to full health and you need to head for the SeeD ship which Elone is on board. SAVE Your game.
