Where can I get some?

quote Lone Warrior

Refine 100 Curse Spikes into one using Siren's Tool-RF.

Note that Siren's level must be maxed before you can do that.

Is that the only way ?

odin is your only hope for malboros unless you have status def junction 4

tri faces much better but they can hit high so watch out and cause confuse and poison if you have gilgamesh then its worse with the malboros

quote Lone Warrior

I'm afraid so. :<

It's not too hard to get 100 of them, just mix it up between Imps (4), Tri-Faces (8) and Malboros (10). Island Closest to Heaven and Esthar plains are decent places for that.

Then I think I might want to give Siren to Squall,or keep Rinoa in the party . Rinoa is the one that has Siren,and Siren's not at level 100 yet.

BTW,I know it's also possible to get curse spikes from forbiddens,and they appear very often at Centra ruins.

quote Lone Warrior

Forbiddens and Creeps do drop Curse Spikes as well, less than the ones I suggested though (I think two per battle?). I missed those from my previous post as I find it a more tedious way.

Then again, the real challenge will be taking Siren to level 100. Do that in the right places, and you should have reached 100 Curse Spikes easily by then.

What would be the best place to level up Siren on disc 3? I assume the island closest to heaven or hell?


I only ask for disc 3 because I'm trying to wrap up/do most/all of the sidequests before I get to disc 4.

Is there an item that teaches a GF Status defense x4 or is Doomtrain the only GF that can learn it?

Cerberus can learn Status Defense*4 as well btw.

And Status Defense *2 should be enough too, just junction Berserk and Break to it, and wait until Sleep and Confuse are removed by Malboros Acid attack, then use Degenerator.


The best way to get Curse Spikes, is the 100% encounter rate against Tri Faces in the Deep Sea Research Center, but if you already got Eden from Ultima Weapon, that one is lost.


Btw, Siren will get more EXP., if there are no other GFs junctionned to the same character.

quote Lone Warrior

Status Guard is the item you're looking for. Doomtrain Card can be refined to three of those using Card Mod, but considering you're in CD3 and probably haven't bothered with the QoC quest (can't blame you), it should be hard to get your hands on.

I haven't bothered with the QoC quest,but I was thinking I would go ahead and do it before going to disc 4.

When I was trying to get the malboro tentacles for doomtrain,I had quistis with silence and berserk junctioned to her st def,then I had her cast esuna on everyone,then pummeled the evil creatures until they died. I never thought about using degenerator,though. I think silence would be a good idea if I had st defx4 on her,then I could cast aura so I can get degenerator without having her HP low.


I knew about the tri-faces,but I went ahead and got Eden from ultima weapon,but I did get a bunch of curse spikes (and EXP) from them before I went on.
