Garnet's Eidolons
For the entirety of the first disc, Garnet cannot summon. When
you go into her menu, you'll find her initial summons cost ridiculous
amounts of MP. However she regains this ability early on in disc
2 but is restricted to only one summon. She won't be able to learn
the rest until disc 3. Garnet overall has eight summons.
Shiva
The Original Ice Goddess

Element: Ice
Attack: Diamond Dust
Gem to learn: Opal
Also appears in: FF3 onwards
In order to obtain Shiva, on disc 3, Dr Tot will give
Garnet a number of different gems. The opal is one of these gems.
More opals can be synthesised at Danguerro or won from battles with
enemies that are of the ice element. The more opals you have in
your inventory the more powerful Shiva's attack becomes.
Ifrit
Flame Demon of Hell
Element: Fire
Attack: Flames of Hell
Gem to learn: Topaz
Also appears in: FF3 onwards
To get Ifrit, on disc 3, Dr Tot will give Garnet a
number of different gems. The topaz is one of these gems. More Topaz's
can be obtained by synthesising them at Danguerro or won from enemies
that have a fire elemental. The more topaz you have in your inventory,
the more powerful Ifrits attack becomes.
Ramuh
Wise God of Lightning
Element: Lightning
Attack: Judgement Bolt
Gem to learn: Peridot
Also appears in: FF3 onwards
On disc 2 at Pinnacle Rocks, Garnet will speak to
Ramuh in order to gain him as an ally. Ramuh tells her she must
find the pieces of a story hidden around Pinnacle Rocks. Once they
are found, you have to piece the story together and Ramuh will transform
into a peridot for Garnet to take. More Peridot's can be otained
by synthesising them and can be won from enemies. The more Peridot
you have, the more powerful Ramuh's attack will become.
Atomos
Mr VERY Big-mouth
Element: Gravity
Attack: G-Force 199
Gem to learn: Amethyst
Also appears in: Final Fantasy 5 as a boss
To get Atomos, on disc 3, Dr Tot will give Garnet
a number of different gems. The Amethyst is one of these gems. More
Amethyst can be obtained by synthesising them at Danguerro or won
from enemies. Atomos damages enemies by a certain percentage of
an enemy's max HP. The percentage of HP he takes off is determined
by the number of Amethysts you have in your inventory.
Leviathan
Serpent of the Endless Ocean
Element: Water
Attack: Tsunami
Gem to learn: Aquamarine
Also appears in: FF4 onwards.
You will automaticallly obtain the Aquamarine after
Garnet prays to the statue at the Iifa tree at the end of disc 2.
The more aquamarine you have in your inventory the more damaging
his attack becomes. Aquamarine can be synthesised at Danguerro or
won from enemies.
Odin
King of the Gods
Element: None
Attack: Zantetsuken
Gem to learn: Dark matter
Also appears in: FF4 onwards
You can obtain the Dark matter by bidding for it at
the Treno Auction on disc 3. You can also steal it from the optional
boss, Ozma. Odin's attack does not damage the enemy per se but it
has a chance of instantly killing all enemies (bosses not included)
but at times it will miss some enemies. In order to increase to
the chance of an instant kill you must find Lapis Lazuli. It can
be found all over the place and synthesised at Danguerro (hell EVERYTHING
you need can be synthesised at Danguerro). You can also modify Odin's
attack slightly. If you equip Garnet with the Maiden's Prayer, odin
will kick up a wind attack that will cause damage to the enemies
if he's not successful with the Zantetsuken.
Bahamut
King of the Dragons
Element: None
Attack: Mega Flare
Gem to learn: Garnet
Also appears in: FF1 onwards
Bahamut is obtained automatically after Beatrix gives
Dagger the garnet gem on disc 3. More garnet gems can be synthesised
at Danguerro and as far as I know this is the only way to obtain
them. The more garnet gems you have in your inventory, the more
powerful Bahamut's attack becomes. Also keep an eye out for him
in one of the best FMV's in FF9 ;).
Ark
The Airship of Doom
Element: Darkness
Attack: Eternal Darkness
Gem to learn: Pumice
Also Appears in: Debut appearance in FF9
To obtain this Eidolon, you can either synthesise
two pumice pieces into a pumice on disc 4 at the Ultimate Sythesis
shop in Memorias or you can bite the bullet and try to defeat Ozma
in Disc 3 or 4 to win a pumice. Either way you only need one Pumice
for Ark to be at full power. Ark has the longest summon animation
and the highest damage out of ALL the Eidolons.
