odin bugged????

[Vahhn]

okay so i went to the ruin swhere you have to fight odin where theres the stupid timer and all that jazz i beat him with 5 min to spare and after said to call upon him when needed but he gave me no item to do so i didnt even get him as a GF so wtf?????!!!!!!! what happened?

[pleasedelete]

Odin is a pain in the ass. Just came 3 battles in a row...

Odin isn't actually a GF and doesn't even become a summon until 13 I believe. He's just a randomly activated instant win against random encounters. Not sure if he'll ever insta-kill a boss.

Man, whoever is getting the 50% appearance rate for Odin is lucky! Even with a big spell junctioned to Luck on ALL my members, Odin isn't even near 50%. I did have a string of appearances (5 in a row) while leveling on the Island Closest to Hell. That was pretty good.

As a side note for xBlackCloudx, Meltdown is the 2nd best spell to Junction to Vitality. Meaning if you use Ultima somewhere else (like Str or Mag) then Meltdown should eventually get junctioned to Vit and you should rely on Doomtrain summons to give you the Vit 0 status effect (which is what Meltdown does).

He doesn't appear in boss fights, except for one story-related fight in which you lose him if you have him by then, and gain Gilgamesh to compensate. He is a pseudo-GF, same as Phoenix, Moomba and Chicobo, but without a trigger item to summon him. The 50% chance is calculated per battle, not per battle total -- believing that he should appear more later due to scarcely appearing earlier is a prime application of the Gambler's fallacy[en.wikipedia.org].

Wrong, he was a summon in FF IV

For all new readers: If you fight the Tonberry-King, be shure you have the menu-remember activated in settings. Then draw the Full-life-angel out of him. I activated HiSpeed (F1) and spamed [X] button. All 3 chars had 99 in 2 minutes. It is the only Monster where you can do that.
