Lunatic Pandora
Leave room, up the ladder, up that long thing, right on the ledge of ice. Follow path and go inside where Seifer, Rinoa, and Adel are. FMV Sequence. Fight Adel. Note: Hit Adel, not Rinoa, so that means you don't use your GF's. If Rinoa dies, it is Game Over. Adel also cures herself by taking Rinoa's life, so you might have to heal Rinoa. Defeat Adel. FMV.
If you can't kill Adel, make sure you have huge amount of good magic junctioned onto your spirit (spr).

Commencement Room
Touch the Save point. DON'T MOVE. LOADS OF EM APPEAR. Noe the one you touched is the real one. If you have the gorgeous Rinoa on your team usually, you can use switch at the save point here to get her back.
Save. Go through door. See Edea. Fight Sorceresses (lots of em) at different places. Then the last one is slightly tougher:
Sorceress C
a. She one strong, ahh, Witch.
She has 50,000 HP.
b. She will be counting down
during the fight. When she
reaches 0 she casts Ultima.
c. Use GFs like Bahamut and
Eden to lower her HP.
d. Squall can use Aura and his
Limit Break to dispatch her.
Edea's House
You are time compressed Edea's house.So if you haven't explored and gotten all your GF's and got your characters all the way up or if you haven't gotten a Chocobo for fun, this is the time to do so.. you can get to your Ragnarok using a Chocobo I believe. But, if you are done with everything, then proceed! Go through the back door.. FMV. Go up the chains and follow chains to Ultimecia's Castle. The portals at the side of the chains lead to the world map. One leads to Grandidi forest, you get a chocobo here, ride it all the way around Esthar and you can get the Ragnarok. Yes, the Ragnarok is still around and full of people from the C.C. Group, provided that you defeated the C.C. Group's King earlier in the game.

characters.
vi. Here is how the battle works here.
1. Your characters are chosen at
Random.
2. When one of them dies and remain
dead for a period of time they are
switched with another character.
3. This means you have two options:
a. Spread your GFs over all of
the members of your group
so they all have strength and
magic power.
b. Or just make a ultimate part
of three. If you do not get
these members in your first
group, wait till the others
die, and hope they are
replaced with a ultimate
party member.
i. I choose option a.,
but I also beat the
game with option b.
vii. Change your "Draw" Command with "Item"
viii. All right I know you want me to tell you
how to kill her, but there really is not
secret. I think that if you got this far
you know how to defeat her.
ix. Here area few tips and hints to help you.
1. Lion Heart is a big help, but it will
not kill her instantly like Ultimate
Weapon.
2. Recover your members ASAP, if
they die try to revive them ASAP.
3. Take you time and wear down her
HP.
My team was Squall Rinoa and Zell, 1st time. But now I just use Debug mode so the two lovers can always be on the team, and no-one else. After all, they are FFVIII's best characters.
Congratulations on completing the game, pity you had to use my guide though! Sit back and watch the end of the game, which ends with Rinoa and Squall snogging!
GREAT ENDING!
