You can have lots of great abilities which help you with your shopping, and he's just plain cool. So yeah, you know HOW to gain the Tonberry King.... You know WHY to gain the Tonberry King.... So why haven't you got one? Simple, he has loads and loads of minions with tonnes of HP. This little guide tells you how hunt down and liberate the Tonberry Kingdom and gives you all the information on the Tonberry. ----- First, you will want to know the simple skeleton instructions on how to gain him incase you didn't know how to get him. This guide also tells you how to gain him QUICKLY. So, fly (or sail) to the Centra Ruins (located directly north of Edea's house) and enter, making sure you have Quisits in the team. Before you hunt down the Tonberry King, you will want to get Odin out of the way, but this is the Tonberry FAQ, and the Odin FAQ I haven't yet written. Once you have entered Centra Ruins find your way through the entrance and into the area which is sort of like a Plaza, with a great big fountain in the middle. Here you will get into random encounters with normal bog-standatd Tonberries. Once you have beaten between 15 and 30 of these little blighters, the last Tonberry will suddenly grow huge and have a big crown floating above his head. Okay, now you know the basics of the Tonberry quest will want to research your enemy, so here are the vital statistics on each type of Tonberry and how to beat them quickly. ------------------- / Tonberry \ / --------------------------------------------------------------- | | | -HP- -LV- | | | | 15200 001 | | 21000 030 | | 27000 060 | | 35000 100 | | | | | | Despite the huge amount of HP a Tonberry holds, they can | | be wiped out pretty easily. Before, I said that you need | | Quistis in the party, this isbecause she holds a | | limit break that can half any opponents HP (except bosses) | | with the 'Micro-Missiles*' attack. | | So, try get Quistis' HP low so that she can continually | | use Micro-Missiles* against the Tonberry. | | You can tell how much HP the Tonberry has left by the | | number displayed that shows how much HP was removed. When | | this number gets low, just attack it regularly. With this | | method, you should be able to wipe out 20 Tonberries in | | under 5 minutes, as aposed to 1 hour 30 minutes it would | | normally take to kill 20 Tonberries. Look out for the | | Tonberries instant death attacks. | \ / ----------------------------------------------------------------- Once you have destoryed enough Tonberries, their leader will evolve to avenge the fall of his kingdom. ------------------- / Tonberry King \ / --------------------------------------------------------------- | | | -HP- -LV- | | | | 2500 001 | | 75000 030 | | 150000 060 | | 250000 100 | | | | | | The Tonberry King boasts a massive ammount of HP, and | | unfortunatley you cannot use Micro Missiles or Demi or | | anything like that. Tonberry King will occasionaly punch | | you in the face, repeatedly stab you with it's knife and | | make junk fall from the sky, such as pots, pans and TV sets.| | The best strategy to use against this formidable foe is to | | use Squall's Renzokuken limit break as often as possible | | to deal out serious damage. Draw the King's curative spells | | from time to time when you need them, and try to keep your | | HP high. Remember to cast Aura on Squall. Once you have | | beaten him, he will shrink, lose his crown and apologise | | to you for setting his people against you in the first | \ place, and then he will become your GF. / ----------------------------------------------------------------- So, you have finally got the damned cute, but hard as nails, Tonberry on your team. So, get out there and start Doinking some enemies!
