FINAL FANTASY VIII Remastered

To avoid problems with this trophy, you need to do the following:

1. Ifrit in the fiery cave must be finished off in the last seconds of the time you have chosen, the last blow must be dealt 20 seconds before its end. Ifrit has 1068hp, leave him one hit of life and wait for your 20 seconds.
2. Next comes the liberation of Dolet from the Galbadian army. And the first thing you CANNOT do throughout the entire mission is talk to any NPCs, even Quistis, and the defeated Bigs on the communication tower. Also, when on the boat you are asked to talk to everyone, don’t talk to anyone, and when Cypher says to go see what’s outside, don’t refuse.
3. At the fountain, under no circumstances run further up the road, go around the fountain from below.
4. You can’t jump off the cliff after Selfie, we go around, we go down with our feet, like Cypher did, we support Zel in the conversation.
5. During the entire mission you need to defeat more than 75 enemies. This is impossible if you run directly without stopping anywhere, so you will have to linger inside the communication tower near the recording point and spend 10 minutes farming these 75 kills.
6. You cannot run away from the battle by holding down the L2 + R2 keys, you can only do it once when you first escape from the robot. But since the robot will catch up with you more than once, it is advisable to read guides on how to escape from it, or better yet, watch a video on YouTube,
7. When escaping from a robot, you cannot run into a cafe.
8. Also, when escaping from the robot, you need to save the dog.

However: I didn’t run away from the robot, it was difficult to do this on the first Sony, but I killed him and managed to run to the beach in time. In the same version with time acceleration, this will not be difficult. But: I still recommend learning Mid Mag - RF from Quezacotl, and making yourself second-level lightning magic, you don’t need much, 30 is enough for two Persians, the last one will use Quezacotl.
So: when you defeat the robot and they ask you to run away, run away. On the second screen, run so that he doesn't catch you. On the third screen he will jump across - this is where I killed him for good. In battle, just beat him without stopping with lightning magic and Quaza-cauldron; it would also be nice to steal some “double” magic from the previous boss Elnoel to speed up the process. When the robot falls and is repaired, do not run away, keep hitting. When using “scanning” magic, you can see that its lives are not taken away, but it still died for me after several repairs.
After killing him, we just run to the beach, you won’t have to save the dog, I still don’t recommend going to the cafe)

If everything was done correctly, then upon arrival at Balamb Garden, and after presenting the awards, you should receive the 10th rank of C&D. We achieve another 21 ranks with tests, but it is better to register in advance.

Don't repeat my mistake...the achievement is only counted if you achieved rank "A" with tests. If you take tests as you gain levels, but don’t really get involved in fights, then your overall rank will drop and 20 tests will not be enough for you to take rank A. Trying to finish it off with mobs to “A” is useless... they won’t count it.
