    MISSABLE CHEEV

    when you have completed the SEED mission and you have gone through the following events, you are then tasked to leave Garden on your first mission. When you leave Zell will have a hover board confiscated. Make sure you speak to head master cid before you leave to acquire the item “magical lamp”.

    Use this to summon Diablos. Make sure you are powerful enough if you go for this early on. Win the fight and the cheev along with a rare card is yours

    SlightlyEroticIt looks like this could be a trend. This just happened to me on the Tonberry buddy

    KingTone122confirmed that it DID NOT unlock for me (nor his card) and i have him junctioned to Zell.


    unfortunately for me i did not create a separate save prior and i have overwritten the current save. So needless to say I will need to start the game over, unless a "glitch" is found

    KaisershredOk, so there is a glitch with it not unlocking. I had to reload a previous save to unlock it.

    In the fight, you can blind him and i would suggest having stocked up on doubles.

    Cast double on the guy with double, then when its there turn again cast it on the other 2 party members. Whilst stocking up on demi from and cast it twice on diabolo as it decreases a single opponent's HP by 1/4 of its current HP. With double you will take him down in no time and when it shows he is taking less than 100 damage hit with other magic or another GF.

    Oh and he heals people that use Demi on him with Curaga.

    My squad was level 23-25 when i attempted it.

    RyzzmacHow is this missable? When I tried to leave without talking to cid he stopped me and gave me the item and according to you I can use it at any time to fight diablos when I'm strong enough right?
