FVIII: Tomb of the Unknown King and Tons of Triple Triad

Okay again, not much today... I played through the Temple of the unknown king, to get the Brothers GF. Oh, and to also get the IDno, this game it was 47. The Temple is easy if you know that if you make ONLY right turns you can do the temple in one big loop, exit, save, and then come back in to fight the brothers. The Brothers are pretty easy, just GF and you'll win.

I'm basically now in the last few hours of the first disc. So to prepare(more like OVERprepare), I played some Triple Triad. The best place to play is in Galbadia Garden. In the second screen, there is this guy that walks around, if you play him, occasionally he'll use a Mesmerize card(it looks like a horse with a big horn). If you win a bunch (like 15), then you can card mod them in to Mesmerize Blades, these then turn into Regens by using L Mag Ref(life magic). With this method you can have 3000+ HP pretty easily. The other card that this guy uses rarely is a Gayla card(it looks like a white sting ray), these cards can be modded in to Mystery Fluid, that can be changed to Meltdowns, by S Mag RF(status magic). These when junctioned to your VIT-J give you over 75 in that catagory. Mystery Fluid also teaches Quistis a limit power. So if you take the time here, you can become very powerful.

There is a girl just near the gates in the next screen, play here and you can win all kinds of cards that can be modifyed in to items that you can use to get at least the first weapon upgrades for most of your characters. I got enough items to get Squall's, Zell's, Quistis', Selphie's and Rinoa's weapons upgraded to the first levels. I'm ready to finish the first disc tomorrow, so I'll have that to right about tomorrow.
