How to Beat Ifrit

Defeat Ifrit, the first GF boss in Final Fantasy VIII Remastered. Exploit his Ice weakness and draw magic before seizing victory in the Fire Cavern.

Ifrit is your first major boss encounter in the Fire Cavern. He is a Fire-elemental GF, making him weak to Ice magic. Junction Blizzard or Blizzara to your attack stats if possible. Draw Ifrit before defeating him! Use Squall's Renzokuken when his HP is low. Keep an eye on the time limit during the SeeD exam. He primarily uses physical attacks and Fire magic.
