Follow this comprehensive guide to navigate Winhill in Final Fantasy VIII Remastered, including crucial dialogue choices, item collection, and enemy encounters.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After the initial scene, exit the house and go to the pub (next door south in the square).
  2. 2
    Speak to Kiros inside the pub for scenes.
  3. 3
    Perfect Game Alert #9: Ask about Julia before continuing to get the "Eyes On Me" entry. This is missable.
  4. 4
    After exhausting dialogue options, choose "Let's talk later." Kiros will join your party. Ensure his Guardian Force (GF) junctions are set up to your liking.
  5. 5
    Rest in your house. Draw from the Curaga Draw Point in the wardrobe.
  6. 6
    Return to the town square. Junctioning Fire-elemental magic to Elem-Atk can increase damage, though enemies are not a significant threat.
  7. 7
    Exit the town and hunt monsters. Check the Dispel Draw Point near the river if desired.
  8. 8
    Follow the path south from the square. Continue south; either path at the intersection is fine, but the lower path has a hidden Reflect Draw Point near a truck.
  9. 9
    Laguna will indicate when the objective is complete.
  10. 10
    Before returning to the pub, spend Laguna's 3,000 Gil at the shop on the southern edge of the screen. This stash does not affect Squall's party.
  11. 11
    Return to the town square.
  12. 12
    Rest in the house if you wish.
  13. 13
    Go to the pub (upstairs) for more scenes.
  14. 14
    Return to your house and go upstairs to continue the story.
Tips
  • Kiros joins with Irvine's Junctions. If you accessed the menu before he joined, his GF junctions might have been removed.
  • Junctioning Fire magic to Elem-Atk can boost damage, but enemies in this area are generally weak.
  • The "Eyes On Me" journal entry is missable if you do not speak to Kiros about Julia before progressing.
