I'm stuck on the Mobile Type B boss in Lunatic Pandora on Disc 3. I've fought it about 30 times and just can't beat him. Anyone got any tips?

Thanks in advance!

yes i do remember him, he was a bit of a buggger, i did him the first time, but he was hard. what are your levels, i can't even remember how to do him, so i might go and play on it again. try to level up your characters a bit more, it might help.

im stuck on the fight against edea and shipher can n e one plz help

Thanks for the tip RH. My character levels are a bit low so I'm going around doing a few fights. That boss is a pain because of his super weapon knocking all the characters back to 1HP. Gets me every time.

what about youre curing items, how much stuff you got of that,coz it may help getting more of that stuff, plus i think you can take out his guns can't you i think u take out them and it makes the battle easier, still haven't played on it yet too busy with the almighty ffx and Yunalesca the bittch!

yunalesca is pretty easy...just watch for her third form where she casts megadeath (so keep one or two of your characters in zombie status). in fact i don't really remember finding any of the boses of enemies (for the main story -not extras) difficult at all apart from the last boss but that was because i wasn't a high enough level

yeah your right yunalesca wasn't so bad, i only died on her twice, the megadeath was annoying! but i did it without using summons, so i guess thats on achievement.
I agree with you about the level of difficulty as i remember losing count of how many times i died on ff7 battling ruby and emerald weapons, and not forgetting the almighty omega (or was it utima??) weapon at he end of ff8 in the castle, still i did em eventually after much trying that is....

ok i dont know whether u have ff8 guide, but heres soomething ive ripped out of it, hope it helps!!
mobile type 8 is supported by a left probe and a right probe. steal a vit up and a str up from them and attack the main body when probes are disconnected. gf quezacotl and thunder magic are particularly helpful. mobile type 8 uses swift and damaging counterattacks, so be prepared to draw and cast curaga (from the left probe) whenever a character is severly injured. junctioning the recovery command might also be a good idea. use your best limit breaks but watch out when the robot prepares for its strongest attack, that leaves your characters with only 1 hp. heal all your characters at this time to survive the onslaught. as this opponent is rather quick, you might want to haste all your characters, that is if they dont already have the auto-haste ability.

Thanks again for all the help RH! I went back to the boss after levelling up a bit and collecting plenty of Cura's but the b*stard still gets me! I guess I'm just rubbish at FF8! I'll keep trying, I don't give up that easy!!

Heh, use Squalls limit break (i.e use Meltdown on the enemy, cast Aura on Squall who can now use his l/b Renzokuken and if your strength is 200 or higher (junction lots of Ultimas to pump it up) then it will do give or take 8500 a shot, taking it out in one go. But thats only with rocket high strength. I did it with both 215% and 244% strength, both times he went down in one go.

Use this on every next boss, and they'll go down in one or two shots.

Thats how I completed the game.
