FF8 beating Ultimecia without touching the controller pt 1/4

What you need:

- Auto-Potion (Leviathan, Cactuar and Tonbery GFs have this) with plenty of Elixirs (mod Angelo's Card for 100 of them). Make sure you get rid of all the lower quality potions, because you need elixirs to counter Griever's Doom.
- Return Damage (Hundred Needles) and Counter (Carbuncle can learn this naturally and you can teach this to other GF's with Monk's Code). This is your damage output throughout the fight
- Low level characters. The higher your level =higher the boss' level, meaning it has more HP. I tried this with a level 100 party and I ran out of Elixirs during the final stage.
- High HP. Use HP+80% (Gaea's Ring) for the last junction slot
- Enough Vit and Spr to not get 1HKO'd by Shockwave Pulsar and Apocalypse. Just junction Meltdown to Vit and Reflect to Spr and you're good.

What helps:

- Highest battle speed to make the battle go faster
- Filling out the magic inventory in order to reduce the chance of an important junction being blown away (mainly your HP junction). This and Griever's Doom are the only things that might screw you over.
- Don't keep annoying status magic like death, confuse, stop or break in your inventory, because they can be drawn and cast against you.
- Do keep berserk, though, If it's cast on you = extra damage. Auto-potion still works when beserked.

That's really all there is to it. Now laugh at them while they are killing themselves.
