This is a walkthrough for final fantasy 8 on the PC. I have recently completed the 4 disk game - making notes all the way! I'll help you find rare cards, give tips, tell you the SeeD test answeres and help you find great special items. Here goes...
RARE CARD LOCATIONS!!!
PUPU

1) outside whinhill town
2) mandy beach, NE of timber
3) heath peninsula, East of trabia garden
4) Kashkabald desert
After sighting all four, fly the Ragnorak to the rocky cliffs above chocobo shrine. You will encounter a UFO so defeat it. Then head to a crater where balamb garden used to be. you'll encounter a PuPu. Feed him 5 elixhirs and you'll get the card.

CARD GAME TIPS!!!
save before playing a new opponent, if you loose a rare card then restart and load game.
this trick is used to get tricks missed in the CC quest and queen of cards quest. defeat CC King and CC members will appear in the ragnorak. the queen is in the southern peninsula of the esthar continent. She isn't on the world map so you need to search. fight her for more cards you didnt get.
to obtain rare cards look at the bottom right corner of your card stats when you win one. A list of two monsters will appear. keep carding the first until you get its card. then do it on the second. You'll have 2 new cards...
To get rid of the 'one card game rule' simply go for a battle but quit. repeat this and soon you'll go for a card battle and the rule wont be turned on.
