FFVII - Gameshark Goodies - Tonberry @ Whirlwind Maze

Every now and then, some dufus will claim that you can encounter Tonberry in the Whirlwind Maze. While this isn't possible in any normal version of the game, it's easy to see where that rumor came from. Tonberry was once planned as an encounter here, but was cut from the final version of the game. Why? That's a very good question. The battle still exists in the game's code, though, so you can easily access it with a gameshark.

Normally, Tonberry can only be encountered on the battle arena, where all enemies have double HP and 125% Strength and Magic. In other words, you can only fight an enhanced version of him. Furthermore, you will most likely never see the attack "Time Damage", which deals damage equivalent to your playing time, so if you've played for 13 hours and 37 minutes, it will deal 1337 damage.

Time Damage is probably the rarest attack in the entire game. It's only used as a counter attack to the third attack after Tonberry's last turn. In order to get three turns in a row, you need to turn the battle speed all the way down, Haste yourself and cast Slow on Tonberry. You also need a high Dexterity stat. Chances are, no one has ever seen the attack unintentionally.

Time Damage is also the potentially most powerful attack in the game and perhaps even in the whole series. Unfortunately this enemy attack can't overflow so it's still capped at 9999 max damage no matter what, but upper damage limits and overflows put aside it has the strictly mathematical potential to deal 119304628 damage. Yeah, almost 120 million HP. Credits to BrutalAl for this info.

There are two battles, but the only difference is the camera zooming in the beginning.

I know I have encountered Tonberries several times in the cave before Sephiroth, and I don't use cheats in FF7. But I only remember them using Everyones Grudge and that killer knife attack.

[GarlandTheGreat]

That would be Master Tonberry. He's a common encounter there.

You should put some more curiosa about the time attack in the video description. After all it is the potentially most powerful attack in the game and perhaps even in the whole series. Unfortunately this enemy attack cant overflow so its still capped at 9999 max damage no matter what, but upper damage limits and overflows put aside it has the strictly mathematical potential to deal 119304628 damage. Yeah, almost 120 million HP :)

[GarlandTheGreat]

That's awesome. It would have been sweet to see almost 120 million damage being dealt.

[kamkasil]

What is it that determines the maximum damage? Is it when the clock "resets"?

[GarlandTheGreat]

The maximum damage is determined by the maximum time the clock can handle. That's 4294967295 seconds, which equals to a little more than 136 years.

[Smurfjefvel]

What the fuck was I thinking? I'm ashamed.

[KaiRaidenX]

TONBERRY!! my mortal enemy!

[juliahphiliponroblox]

@GarlandTheGreat And is a EXCELLENT source of Megalixirs.

[TheBigBeavis]

@LoftyProduction Your thinking of master tonberry. Trust me, GarlandTheGreat knows exactly what he's talking about.

[LoftyProduction]

what's this idiot talking about "cut from the final game" complete horse shit, I remember fighting tonberys left right and center down there 10 years ago... bah!

[Fun2jak]

I have all together... Over 198 hours logged on FF7!!!!

[ItalianAvalanche]

DUDE I got hit with time damage while I was fighting a Tonberry in the arena one time. It ABSOLUTELY DOMINATED ME. You're right, it's super deadly.

[Sandsack2311]

you have played 71 hours and 18 minutes :P

[waterking179]

i only fought it once in the battle square and all it did was walk around

[VvAnarchangelvV]

In the future, people who have been playing FFVII for 136 years say that yes, that would be a lot of damage. And there are still people that believe that Tonberries are in the Whirlwind Maze despite this video / because they misunderstood it ;)

[bleachrulz4eva]

those are master tonberries

these are regular tonberries
