Cerberus is an optional boss and Guardian Force in Final Fantasy VIII. Upon its defeat, Cerberus joins the party as a GF. Cerberus can be encountered in Galbadia Garden's atrium during the Battle of the Gardens.

StatsEdit

StrategyEdit

As the Scan description says, Cerberus uses Triple, combined with strong elemental spells. Triple, and the Haste that Cerberus will cast on himself when his HP falls low, can be removed with Dispel. Reflect is not advised; Cerberus likes to use Thundaga, which will heal Cerberus if reflected, and Tornado, which cannot be reflected.

Junctioning thunder- and air-type spells to Elem-Def-J and using Float to give immunity to Quake, gives a defensive posture that may aid in drawing the valuable Triple from Cerberus before defeating him.
