Headmaster Cid is up in his office now (you can get to him by riding the elevator up to “3F”.Ĭid is a very high level card player and, besides the Seifer Card, you can win a myriad of useful high level cards off him. You can now make your way to Balamb town or you can wander back into the Garden to find Headmaster Cid for some Triple Triad card time. Once you receive Diablos as a Guardian Force you should immediately begin having him learn his Mug ability as this will come in infinitely useful very soon. Once you have obtained him you should make sure to have him learn the Mug ability as soon as possible to start stealing some very impressive items from bosses. Having Diablo at this point in the game is of great benefit. If you mess up a couple of times just retry from your previous save until you get him. This is a great way to both inflict huge amounts of damage to Diablo (Squall) and to fully heal your team (Selphie – just keep clicking “Do Over” until you get a Full-Cure). Demi reduces Diablo’s hit points by a percentage, which makes it incredibly effective the more early on you use it (hitting for upwards of 3500 damage on the first attack).īecause of Diablo’s overall strength and due to the functionality of Gravija, many of your characters are going to get to utilize their Limit Breaks during this battle. One of the best strategies for defeating Diablo is to use his own magic against him. It will reduce each of your characters HP by 75%, so it’s an incredibly effective attack, but similar to Demi it can never kill you outright. His most powerful attack, Gravija, works in a similar fashion. His regular attack can do up to 200 damage on a character, so this one can be a killer, but Diablo does not use his regular attack very often. Demi can never kill you itself because it only reduces a character’s HP by a percentage rather than a fixed number.
Diablo primarily uses gravity based magic such as the spell Demi. In order to beat Diablos you need to understand how his attacks work.
