Adamantoise is an enemy in Final Fantasy VIII. The rare giant turtle lives on beaches around Dollet and on Long Horn Island, but can also be found in Ultimecia Castle on the fountain square. It is strong of spirit and possesses great vitality.

StatsEdit

BattleEdit

The heavily-armored Adamantoise will repeatedly heal its group and attack with Blind, making for a long battle. The player can lower the monster's defenses with Meltdown.

If Irvine is in the party, his Limit Break, Shot, is useful, as he has ammo that ignores defense. Adamantoises sometimes cast Shell on each other. The fastest way to defeat them is to use Quistis's Degenerator.

Adamantoises are important enemies for the items they carry: Whisper teaches Quistis White Wind. Orichalcum teaches a Guardian Force the support ability Vit+40% and Adamantine teaches Vit+60%, refines into Steel Curtain items (20 needed) for Auto-Protect, and is also required in modelling Squall's, Zell's and Selphie's ultimate weapons.
