In FF VIII, I found that the best way to beat Ultima Weapon was to have Irvine in your party. Give him an Aura then have him use his AP or Pulse Ammo limit break. That stuff did 9999 damage a turn! A couple of Irvine Limit breaks would finish Ultima Weapon off. Just hope he doesn't die.

Another way would be if you have squall limit break lionheart and strength of 255 then he if he use it ultima weapon will die in the first turnThe bad thing is squall doesnt use lionhearts to much, This really works

Not many people would know this but you can beat any boss in that game with a few lowsy attacks all you need is a good stratigy like this One I came up with-PS this is unbeatable.--sints bosses in that game stay on the levil of your charracters be sure not to upgrade to of them at all. keep there level at basicly nothing as low as possible. the get squall 2 level 100 and put the other 2 with your party and sints you don't get expeariants for boss battles in ff8 you don't need to worry about them getting up levels.

I actually used this strategy too. In about 6 hours, I had Squall at level 100 by just fighting in the Training Centre (yeah, it's THAT easy to level up in this game and the area on the door to the left doesn't have T-Rexes so there's no risk). So when my level 8 and 9 characters joined, all the enemies' levels were halfed making Squall insanely more powerful and of course the enemies were on just high enough levels for squall to draw the rarer magics from them (I got 100 Firagas, Thundagas, Blizzardags's, and Curagas in the first area alone and when I fought Dialbos Squall was able to Draw 100 Flares and 100 Holys while still having enough strength left to defeat this nemesis). Obviously, there are certain enemies (like the T-REX) that need specific GFs to defeat as you will need specific stat boosts or Status & Elemential Junctions.It may be too late for you though zeroality since you've already levelled up, but if you decide to go for a replay, keep this strategy in mind. Also, dead characters don't count. If you go into battle with a level 100 squall and two dead characters, the enemies will once again be at level 100 with you.

Sorry, djnforce9, but I find kinda lame to train characters to the 100th level in the Trainning Centre! ; Why not going to Islands closest to Hell and Heaven? 'tis my opinion...

it was MUCH faster to just train squall too 100 right off the bat. Then I don't have to worry about it later and like I said, I get all the benefits of better magic right in the beginning. I don't think you'd normally get the "-aga" spells so soon. Naturally, I never use magic (it's too weak), I just junction it to boost stats. It'd make an excellent challenge run though. Can you beat the game without GFs and hence junctioning. You'd REALLY have to plan things out. Anyhow though, yeah it can seem lame (since it can get tiresome), but my first RPG was dragon warrior (where you pretty much have to level up to max to even win) so I have a strong tendacy to level up like mad in EVERY GAME. heck! in Xenogears, I got Fei up to level 80 in the Shevat ducts so he could learn his ultimate deathblow BOY! was it worth it though.

Just summon DoomTrain and cast aura and haste on your heavy hitters like Squall and Irvine then kill him.
