Final Fantasy VIII - 5 Boss Diablos

[tarchee26]

i haven use my magic lamp so far... squall's lvl is 40 ++ but others are 10++ & 20 ++

if i change my party to those lower lvl ones, will it follow squall's lvl or the lower ones?

[XCRABCOREX]

@tarchee26 Squall's because he has the highest level.

[lukassinterklas]

Tips : cast blind on diablos, so that he cannot finish you off after bombarding those gravity attacks. With low hp you can easily beat him with limit breaks.

[Polomance862]

I'm the only person here who hated this battle maily because I had to rely on selphie's full-cure more than 20 times. then finish the battle with selphie.

[ILoveYugiandYami]

I've NEVER been able to get my limit breakers to activate

[ericsigil]

Hmm, now I got curious about something, when Selphie uses The End some angels come and take the enemy away "killing it", but if the enemy is taken away, would we still get Diablos as a GF? :D

[berettadreams]

@ericsigil if you got "The End" in the Diablos fight, I'd go out and play the lottery

[ericsigil]

@berettadreams Not with Diablos, but happened once with Omega ^^

[dlauer90]

Don't use GFs ever

[PeterTokenMarsden]

@KyoukouSuneku thanks that worked really well, still dont see why he has a retarded amount of HP!?

[bonvo86]

few things 1 what lvl are you zell limit is doing next to nothing 2 keep your hp low he only has one attack that will kill you the rest do a percentage of your health and with low health you get to use your limits faster and more often

[safersephiroth50]

@CrazyWebGuy To say if you could be level 1 you could prolly beat him is what i ment to say lol..

[DoggieAngel12345]

Just wondering but where do I find him. I already got the magical lamp but is in Balama right now. If that's how you spell it. Can I still get this GF?

[safersephiroth50]

He is the easiest thing you can beat in the game lol. You can beat him at lvl 1 prolly lol

[ericorenato88]

is his HP always gonna be 7200

[clutchninja]

i beat him in the dream world as the dudes with the guns and knives and spear

[jackieloveshervideos]

i just beat it with selphies slot limit break "The End" I didnt know what it was and just used it HAHA

[Minan3]

i messed up on my first playthrough and selected the magical lamp and i forgot to save X(

[killerducky420]

y do you just repeat punch rush and booya with zell

[SjanAcd]

a punch rush booya combo takes very little time on Zell's duel and it is possible to do 4 hits per second using duel. If you get lucky and has 8 seconds, the damage will be even more than squall's lionheart, provided that Zell's stats are maxed.

[Myncu]

you can even kill Omega Weapon with this XD

[Mireya720]

THANKS ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marnea1]

2:29

Diablos "Ow! My shins!"

[valitora00]

actually you can easly defeat diablos bya casting blind to avoid its physical attacks and then LB to death, tough im not sure if gravija could actually kill you at 1 hp

[zulu012]

If you haven't died up to the point where you get this, you'll have 4 pheonix downs. also, if he keeps casting demi and gravija you can just use Selphie's Full Cure ability to make sure that you won't die from a physical attack

[bleachfan43]

ok i like diablos but is he worth it and is he one of the most power fullest gfs in 8

[SarkuoAnasaki]

Woah woah woah, double magic? How so?

[bleachfan43]

that double magic is see when you start out and you go on that mission with zell and the other dude well after you get selphie with you if i remember right you fight a boss and he has a spell called double if you draw it out of him and he has a gf

[gangaranga123]

oh u all do it so hard.. i never used any magics (rarely demi) and biggest thing i used was renzokuken or duel.. not any doubles or protects -.-

[baggy131]

It took me so long to beat this :D

[AstralAstaroth]

Drawing Demi at this time is a HUGE pain. And without a decent junction to magic (which is only available for two at this time), it is downright impossible.

[goonkid93]

how did u get double

[Azshmo]

God, Hamaguchi's orchestration can be so awful sometimes.

[Moonsailorcloud]

Omfg, this stupid GF is annoying me. xD It keeps freaking killing me with it's headbutt attack! XD Damnit >:0

[A3r1th]

The most easiest way to do this is draw demi and cast it on Diablos. Do it over again and again and finish with limit breaks. EASY PEASY!!! But i still love your vids.

[0myself0]

Thanks ;D ;D u rock ;D ;D eheheheh

Obrigado amigo saudações de Portugal :)

[092755]

just cast slot-''THE END'' and its all over 1hit

[theowlsofouterheaven]

is this the pc version? because the music dont sound right!

[LindwurParty]

It does sound a little weird..

[Ikazukiikkoro]

that's the orchestra version of the battle song; he must've mod the music

[theowlsofouterheaven]

never heard that but i just got the pc version 2 days ago and the music sounds just like that :o

[wariopya]

he used the original orchestral music because he can't record the sounds along with the vid!

[0myself0]

omfg i cant get this guy omfg ...

[KyoukouSuneku]

Easiest way. At the start of the game (before you get the Magical Lamp) you can draw some blind. (I can't remember if it is from a boss or a draw point) But simply give each character at least 1 blind and have each character cast that on Diablos at the start. There is usually a 1/3 chance it will take effect. Now Diablos can't hit you with his physical attack (which is the only attack that kills you). He can only cast Demi and Gravija. (Which can never really kill you)

Easy.

[wooofums]

heck yea, i was having a hard time with this guy so i used your technique. Killed him on my first try. Thanks!!

[AkyJave]

That technique actually worked!! thanks

[1992sou]

@KyoukouSuneku fuck yeah that worked thanks dude that guy was hard ass hell for no reason

[maztalica]

@KyoukouSuneku I beat Diablos with Laguna and Kiros, too bad fat guy isn't available that time he's at prison mopping.. you can beat it as long you don't use level 99 cheat.

[smokinondank420]

@KyoukouSuneku dude thanks for the tip. my grandma has been stuck on this guy for a while now. worked like a charm. squall was my only guy left with one hp, but couldn't be touched. grandma thanks you too.

[shieldforumJim]

you should have just let selphie's health get low and then use her full cure :/

[strelok799]

Yeah i owned Diablos in the first dream with Laguna and his squad of idiots, did so to an awsome soundtrack to =D ... PWNED! haha

[MasterReckus]

why did you just draw/cast demi? when i did it i draw/stocked a load of demi for later use

[orestesno8]

Ohh Final Fantasy VIII Is My Favorite Game Ahhh (Snif) But I Have Windows Vista And I Don't Know If They Play.I Have A Laptop Windows Vista.

[hellonoshow]

you can with the 1.2 patch

[AznPkerBro]

where do u get protect?

[Devilsolution]

From XATM-092 , you can draw a lots of protects.

[lou300]

Another strategy is to cast Blind on Diablos so the physical attacks towards the end of the battle do next to nothing, and beat him with the Limit Breaks, since your HP is low because of Gravija/Demi.

Don't know if this has been suggested before but I CBA to look through all the comments. -_-

[kurahosan]

basically he really can't kill u?

[kbone767676]

o yes he can its just that his magic can't kill u but eventually he will use a physical attack that takes away a lot of hp.

[coolguy02536]

he can, he has physical attacks.

[joelfukingmejor]

that pc version rigth? because the music sound more cool

[drakorath]

its probably different sound plugin because mine sounds just like tv

[Solblader]

The pc version's music is actually pretty bad. The creator of this vid used a different music over the video. You can tell by the missing sound effects .

[terrasidius]

No, hes used different music all together, notice that you cant hear the characters or any other sounds? This music sounds like orchestral or something.

[coolmikeol]

yes this is an official orchestrated version of the battle theme. Its on youtube but iono the link.

[QueeenASHE]

i got into that fight with 0 phoinex down and 0 of evry magic and i won PHEEW!!

[Alexander1991]

Draw Cast Demi on him a few 3-4 times and cast your GF's / Limit Break's to finish him off, don't bother healing if you do it this way since he keeps throwing Gravija at you, so just keep the phoenix downs coming :)

[Allan3116]

cast blind on diablos first and this will be a walk in the park. his gravija attack can't kill, only his charge attack does, if he's blind, he's useless.

[blacker07]

mmmh, well, where do you get full-cure?

i almost got him the last time, but for something stupid of me i didn't, i waited until i got 1 hp with everyone so i could use their limits one time after another.... it almost work, until i ran out of pheonix down

[MianMonty]

Just keep going through Selphie's spells till you see it. Same thing with 'The End'.

[Laurelindo]

When Diablos uses Gravija I always go all out with Renzokuken and Duel, then I use Full Cure as fast as possible.

Works every time. XD

[zom124]

omg im usin pc version and hes impossible to beat =/ ive done waaayyyy over 200k damage on him and he waz still alive

[l462]

when did u fight him?U have lots of spells that I don't.

[wariopya]

hey u can get healed by diablos when u use demi on him!

[nevremore123]

lol diablos is easy.. i use magical lamp immediately when i get from cid..

diablo atk wun kill except from it phyiscal punch atk

gravija and demi onli reduce ur hp by 3/4 and 1/4

when u draw its demi and cast back to diablo.. diablo will use curage on u..

after several demi u can finish diablo with ur limit break

[Wild4eva13]

this took me about over 15 mins...and i still didnt win:( it wouldnt let me use demi! how  do i use it?

[RebarVictimo]

I remember I beat Diablos at the very beginning of Disc 2, with Kiros and Laguna. Funny thing is, Kiros wasn't junctioned. :3

[Gellvos]

ahh i can beat this guy with out curing lol

[wSeeDw]

Elnoyle, Grendel

[SenkohcoolaD]

What can give me double? I don't know what monsters besides bosses to draw it from. =/

[Charkard457]

i think a monster that looks like a blue stingray has it

[Cycle4Change]

incredibly awsome music

[RagtimeFoxy]

Yeah, how did you get that music on there? The one on my game is pretty different. Did you like dub over over the video or something???

[shiznetlcd]

yo you shouldn't draw cast you should stock becuz hell cure u if u use demi from ur stock yu shud know that man

[JupiterPowerMakeup]

when I first time played I never beaten him but when I re played I beaten him and I started it again and I dunno why I can't beat him so I waited till I got Rinoa and I betan Diablos with: Squall,Rinoa&Selphie

[Gharmos]

a handy tip for beating this guy is to cast blind on him (which you can stock a few of at the base of the communications tower in Dollet, opposite to the save point from the elevator).

his gravija spell will put you at low health and you can spam all your limits while you're about 90% safe from his physical hits xD

[ChaosAura15]

Just beat this guy (First time playing FFVIII) All that I did was enter the fight with Squall at low health, then spammed Renzokuken and attack normally with everyone else. Is it true that this fight is WAY harder at higher levels?

[GrieverTheGF]

yes incredibly harder.....but you know if your at like level 100 and ultimate weapons then easy

[jrngcool]

I do.. when i played fastest game-time challenge with my friends.

[bestro2]

HA really easy fight, all you have to do is get selphie's limit break and cycle through until you get to "The End" auto win and you get diablos

[27Taichi27]

The sound is kinda different.

[FredoV94]

Its a live version of the battle theme.

Nobuo Uematsu is the best of the best

[DarkCrisis]

This guy was hard when I was little cause I never knew how to play the game, but now its so simple for me.

- Fight him as soon as you get the lamp

- Casting Demi on him (Stocked way not Draw -> Cast) makes him cast Curaga on YOU

- Just pummel him with your attacks and limit breaks.

- Cast blind if your honestly struggling

[ducaducatom]

was 8 when i tryed this omg it was hard but now its easy lol

[BaadRichie]

it was so hard to get him

[jrngcool]

hell u nid 7min to defeat diablos? i can do it around 4min..wanna noe my secret recipe??lol

[Tehkraziboi]

Who cares how long it took to beat him?

[Veg1ta]

yeah he was quite hard, took me a few goes to beat him, had to restart my game without saving cause u can only use the lamp once :( and i really wanted him.

[azuz2008]

ah. diablos was quite easy. ^^

[IvanThe555gamer]

he is pretrty hard

[hopkins45]

just faught this guy for about 15 mins and barely won highest lvl was sqaull at 12 zell was at 10 and selphie was at lvl9

[shiekta]

never use the GF renzokuken is the way

[dennisfor4ever]

i had lower health on all of those chars and i killed him with my GF's (boosting).diablos sucks so much

[hachimon8]

if you use Zell, duel with repeating punch rush and booya until the time is almost done, then use burning rave or whatever...

[hachimon8]

cast a blind on him, then strike him with GF or limit break!

[FenrirWeapon]

whats the music?

[TiDuZx]

If you are strong diablos are 4 times strong on you and kill you fast.

[FenrirWeapon]

where do u get all of that magic? plz tell me

[Ladon68]

he got the "Double" from the elvoret boss battle at the communications tower in dollet i think.

[superhyro2]

he never killed me but i never beat him it seemed like he had too much hp

i fought him for over 12mins then i just said screw it

[JJmaster08]

Guys..nothing to brag but jus suggestion...

Blind dat diablos so dat it will always miss..thankfully..but sometimes he jus got luck and hits my poor squall...but Overdrive is good..dats why took me more than 5 mins..cos i also use GF..as i remember...cos it got boost..and wats d use if u dun use GF huh?and if dis is challenge..sori..nothing said in ur title/description..u jus said u didnt use GF..

[WanderxRebirth]

Playing without using GF shows actual tactic, just spamming GF..even a 3 year old can do that

[rebelVIII]

Again, great job. What lvl are you?

[Calumonme]

fro me,i just use his magic AGAISNT him.*chuckles* one demi dealt 2000+ untill it became 1 digit,use limit and bye!

[darkmoogle77]

This boss is difficult for me, thats one of the reasons why I hate fighting him so much. I just power level, and take him down with brute force!

Take that your demonic gravity manipulating S.O.B.!

[Phantom034]

You could cast Blind on him. Make it easier to dogde his physical attacks.

[dontbyvista]

disc 2 YEAH!!!!

[HAJS5]

(This is for whoever marked this as spam)

God damn it this isn't SPAM this to fix this retarded "update" and is to help the website, not an ad for unrelated things.Advertising a website on that website isn't SPAM so stop fucking with this!

[Tyranopwns]

Agreed I hate the new update. Its too confuzling

[BrainDeadGhost]

I killed the ultimate weapon in 7 minutes too^^

i was just playing for fun, and suddenly the sucker was down!

[BLooDCoMPleX]

sucker ? :D

[Gigajim]

i have a really annoying story on FF ( i cant remember what game but it had 4 disc's and was on PS1 i used PS2)but i got to disc 3 and..... I LOST THE DISC which pised me off for like 4 days... i find it again like last year and start again i get to disc 2..... AND I LOSE THE DISC which peeved me off soooooo bad!! i might start a search again for it :P ahhh well

[d4rkpow3r]

Did you forget that if you Draw and stock Demi and then cast on it, it will use curaga on the character that cast it on him? it's also a nice trick to defeating him ^^

[HAJS5]

I really should play FF7 because I have no idea what you said.

[boogie122395]

lol u nerds fighting over wats better pokemon or final fantasy

[cLaRkDamn]

its means that ure nerd too..

[MoogleDemon]

I beat him so quickly on disc 2 that I was suprised. I guess summoning is cheating lol =P.

[redeyesthe20th]

cool, and i love ff &  pokemon =D

[DevinHades]

Fuck Pokemon. You're comparing a bunch of crappy hybrid animals to Final Fantasy? What the fuck is wrong with you? Pokemon is overrated just like flies to garbage.

[titobarrera]

wtf you guys, pokemon has always been better than ff... even if it came out later... you just gotta love mudkipz; better than cloud, squall (who is gay, i might add), titus (who is gayer than squall) and all other "cool" ff characters, although i'd totally do tifa, but then again, who wouldn't? also, aeris dies.

[Yokosuma]

WTGF IS wrong with you ppl how can you compare Final Fantasy with Pokemon. final fantasy saga is the best rpg games for a home concil. Every new one brings it to the for front when it comes to graphics.

[DanLightning]

Okay, that may be, but let's not forget the "Official Top 5 Best RPG Types":

1. Classic Dungeons and Dragons

2. Computer RPGs

3. Cheese

4. Console RPGs

5. Ventriloquism

So you see, Final Fantasy is a good RPG saga only compared to sticking your hand up a wooden puppet's ass.

[toxicMonkeyBite]

the sword of a 1000 truths is total pwnage

[WanderxRebirth]

you are lame as hell

eat MY SLIM JIM

[olrac1234567]

why are u watching this anyway

[Kaerma]

I love how people come on this video just to post that "final fantasy is gay". How pathetic.

Awesome game.

[ytfarmer90]

:O the devil moves your mouth/keyboard

[adryden2]

Hey! Screw you! Final Fantasy is the best game ever! >=0

[robbyalp]

Yeah, because pokemon came before final fantasy didn't it?

[shotbboy]

the only things i liked about ff8 was the weapons, the characters and the story...

[SEXYhoochyFACE]

so you liked the whole game...????

[shotbboy]

gameplay, music, scenery, graphics, fmv's, can't buy weapons, draw points, buildings...right, a training faculty (whatever its called) that can fly....and the fact that the monsters get stronger as your characters get stronger

[SunshinePerformers]

Ahhh.. I remember watching my brother playing this game for hours.. :)

Cheers, Final Fantasy :)

[iasdasdasdii]

Me Too!!!!

[BLooDCoMPleX]

when you cast demi on it it casts you curaga but be careful not draw cast demi first stock it then attack it with demi and it castes curaga on that member OR you can just cast blind on this thing and then draw stock all that demi from it.. i used first one because i didnt know the second one but second one seems easier tyr it

Have Fun..

[firestormcomputers]

i have no idea why i clicked on this i hate FF

[BloodxGusher]

Final Fagetry...

[bamaguy6]

i beat him casting blind on him you might miss but when you finally hit get him you will whoop his ass

[DarkWatch2222222]

when i fought this guy i though he was weak. but when i paly ne ff game i look prety much for everthing

so i might have been a bit powerful for my lvl

[paulmoe16]

same here.

[FFshelke]

There's a way to kill him within 4/5 turns, it's quite easy and requires a bit of luck.

Cast Demi on him 3/4 times. Finish it off with Renzokuken and have Squall equipped with a decent weapon....Diablos dead...he's not that hard at all if you use the right approach.

[wingtok]

Its comforting to know what Cid keeps in his pockets

*a pen, some paper,pack of gum, bits of fluff, magical lamb containing the lord of darkness, some more fluff...

[Soma0]

Cast blind on him.

Battle over.

He'll knock you down to critical with Gravija, so then you can just pound him into the ground with Limit Breaks.

[Yukimura90]

Yes is still possible =D if you have the lamp =X

[000Bryce000]

Diablos would be better if he had boost!!!

[Yukimura90]

i play it press wrong button i beat the crap out off diablo -_- he go with your level there higher the stronger he is KILL him at first if you can =D

[Ignariw]

LOL I BEAT THIS GUY AS SOON AS THAT DUDE GAVE ME THE LAMP!!!!!!!! never thought he was THIS hard. i mean posting a vid on how to kill him loooooool

[cridant]

U are ment to beat him as soon as you get the lamp............... hes easyer that way.

[000Bryce000]

I beat Diablos the first try but it was weird cause every time my health was low he gave me curagas!!!

[tobiasbr]

If you stock demi and cast on him later, he'll cast curaga on you :D

[ff9zidane199]

diablos grows levels along with you thats y its hard to beat him

[tobiasbr]

Actually it's not only Diablos, all the enemies in FF8, including all bosses, the higher your level, the higher their lvls.

[ff9zidane199]

not but what i mean is while hes inside the lamp i tried fiting him once and got owned then i decided to fight him when i was stronger and i opened the lamp and i noticed that he gre levels as well

[Tsukkgin]

Which is odd because his meant to be sleeping :D
