FFVIII Rosetta Stone Farming - Method A
A second video for winning Rosetta Stones, this one using a more realistically possible method of RNG advancement at this stage in the game. So no disc 2 Dollet save needed to do this strategy. Most of this is copypasta from the last one:
A guaranteed way to meet all your Rosetta Stone needs. Because of a recently discovered exploit (first pointed out by ForteGSOmega) in the card RNG it was found that you could abolish rules on your first try with a little preparation. (If I get any requests I might cover this in another video).
Mr Hangman noticed that the same RNG was used in the determination of the items you receive from the card players in D-District Prison. He attempted a guide based on knowing how far you were in the RNG by what items you won but due to another unknown RNG this strategy would only work on his file.
With a table set up by Dirjel I was able to tell how much the RNG advanced from a certain path to the 200 gil card player in D-District Prison. Link to table here: ( tinyurl.com/FFVIIICardRNG )
Knowing this number we can set up the RNG so that the item you receive from the '200 gil player' on floor 11 of District-D Prison will be a Rosetta Stone every single time. From a practical standpoint that basically means the 4x ability on all 3 players an hour into disc 2 with minimal effort.
This video shows one way I found to manipulate the RNG for infinite Rosetta Stones that I've used with a lot of success. However keep in mind this way only works if you follow the path set out in it very closely (you have something like half a second leeway on either side).
You can just watch the video and try and replicate it, but you will probably follow the path slightly off-key, rendering the process futile. To make sure you get your Rosetta Stones as quickly as possible I will explain this somewhat annoyingly complicated procedure in depth:
Note: If you do not have enc-none at this point, you will need to learn it before going to retrieve Squall. If you do not have Diablos yet well... fight him. If you do not have the magical lamp or Diablos... I guess restart lol :S
1) Hard reset
2) Load up a save in D-District Prison 10th floor (this method uses one right after you got your weapons back from the guards and before you chased the Moombas up the prison to meet up with Squall).
3) Exit the room (timing in this room does not matter).
4) Hold left as screen loads and then change to holding up to walk up the stairs as quickly as possible.
5) As next screen loads, hold down-left on the d-pad until you are all the way through the screen.
6) Hold up-right as the screen loads and don't switch to up-left until you have reached the end of the curve on the wall you will eventually hit (pay close attention to the video here). Once you get half way around the circle holding up-left, simply hold left until the screen changes.
7) Hold up as the screen loads and wait just a split second before pressing up-right.
8) Challenge the card player to a game and then say no before actually starting up the game 54 times. Its painful but its the surest way to advance the RNG. If QoC is in Deling City do this 140 times.
9) Challenge him again and actually say 'yes' to playing. 'Play' the game and win.
10) You should get a Rosetta Stone. Joy.
I advise running through the path a couple times before doing an actual run. This will let you get a feel for the path in a non-consequential situation. Also I advise counting to 54 in groups of 10, or if you are like me you will mess up ^.^
Troubleshooting:
If this didn't work, and you are: following the instructions correctly, making sure you are counting to 54 correctly and are following the path I described then you may be going too slowly. This is easy to fix; go at a similar speed but instead of challenging the 200 gil player and saying no before a game starts 54 times, do it 53 times. This should work but I would recommend trying with 54 "Challenge? No"s a couple times before you change to 53 as you will probably follow the path I laid out more quickly after a few runs through.
Yes this is complicated, but it's arguably more drawn out in the explanation then it is in the execution. At this point for me a typical run takes around 5 minutes so hopefully learning the path and getting 3 Rosetta Stones wont take more than half an hour for you.
This is the earliest and quickest supply of Rosetta Stones and once you get the hang of it it's very easy to do so I wish you good luck and please tell me if you are still having problems with the strategy (or if it works perfectly for you :D).
Oh and sorry if the video seems slow. I think my PS1 is on its last legs so to speak.

FFVIII Rosetta Stone Farming - Method B

A guaranteed way to meet all your Rosetta Stone needs. Because of a recently discovered exploit (first pointed out by ForteGSOmega) in the card RNG it was found that you could abolish rules on your first try with a little preparation. IMPORTANT: If you do not have a disc 2 save in Dollet I highly suggest you look at the video entitled method A. It should be of much more help to you. Link here: ...
Will save this video and try this on another run, angelo search definititly sucks for getting these.
I was in disbelief. Surely this had to be something you had to have done x,y,z ahead of time or something. I play on steam, non-remastered. Practiced the route a few times and then it worked first try. Thanks a ton
I know this is old but I just found this; and after practicing the run a few times.. got it on my first go around despite QoC being in Deling! I must also note that analog sticks did not behave the same as D-pad and I def used D-pad here. Much gratitude.
Playing android remaster version with Xbox control. Works perfect and every single time. Tanks a lot
Hi, quick question, do you know if having the Moomba permanently messes this trick up? My only save is after it is following me, and I'm beginning to suspect that's why I can't get it despite hours trying all available methods.
Played this guy legit for 3 hours and only got 1 Rosetta stone before I found this info, tried it with these tips and got 2 more straight away, worked perfectly. Playing with PS1 disc in ps3. If anyone is having difficulty try using the dpad not the sticks and it will work better. They seem to handle the pathing differently. Thanks for sharing all those years ago, helped me out today.
12 years later , and i've just tried this on epsxe on android, it definitely works, thanks man!, got 3 rosseta stone from 3 run
I just play the games without saving or resetting. It takes a while, yes, but I wind up with a ton of stuff refined from the cards. It's usually enough to upgrade one or two weapons to the maximum and get the others close, plus earn me a slew of magic. On this current playthrough once I got my first Rosetta Stone I kept right on playing, wound up with enough cards and items for Lion Heart and Strange Vision, then not long after that I got a second Rosetta Stone, saved, and quit for the evening. I'm going to go win enough cards to upgrade Quistis and Rinoa's weapons, probably win a third Rosetta Stone, and then move on.
is there supposed to be audio or do i have to count how many times you did the prompt myself
do I have to keep doing this every time I play with him?
I just got FFVIII remastered on switch and played it again. Tried this hack. Failed the 1st and 2nd time. Got it on my 3rd try. Thanks for the tips bro! Awesome work But strangely he refuse to give me anymore stones after the 3rd one. Is it a limitation that he only can give out 3?
I've gotten 127 (all GF's Ability 4 and 20 tool refines) so far. It took me around 30hours, and sometimes it seems broken only to try again later. I will update when I get to 307 (unless there's a way to use more? But I think using GF compatibility now is unnecessary if you carry 300 of them) Yes, I'm a nerd. I loved this game as a kid and am after a perfect game.
Ok figured out that you can improve your path and have to engage in the 57th battle if you do so too much. I just got 3 in a row. I will update with results but this seems to have been my issue
This is ridiculous. I tried it 5 times and it won't work. Moving on with my life.
Did it also just now in remastered version.
9 years... 8... man i'm old, well I did it!!! 2021 and FFXIII still rocks!!!
Worked in the remastered edition for iOS as well, with the no encounters cheat from the menu. Had to try a few times to practice the perfect run: mine wasn't exactly the same, but just try to go as fast as you can and reload right away in case you bump into any landscape element that stops you even for a second.
Confirmed on FF8 Remastered - Steam, it's working. On my way to my 2nd rosetta, I thought it didn't work then I realized I was just a bit out of the rhythm then from the third to sixth, got the hang of it, it went smoothly!
Can confirm it works on the ps4 version of the remastered
Just performed this on the Switch Remastered version! Great explanation and video!
Great job! Got it first try. Thank you. 👍 Edit: I did it on the Remastered version on Xbox One.
Dont try on xbox1... Waste of 4 hours.
Thanks. it works for me in Steam FF8, with 53 "No" and "playing" in 54.
How do you have Mobile Type 8 and Tiamat? Don't know of anyone on Disc 1 with the level 7 boss cards...
Before seing this i had the chance to get the rosetta stone from my first attempt... But with my luck the game crashed (Steam FF8). That's why i looked for a way to get the rosetta stone. i ve been trying for a whole afternoon but nothing. i was wondering if the random encounter with enemies have sth to do with it ? (still dont have No combat ability). but even when i dont get any encounter no can do. i even tried to play from the 45th game to the 60th game doing the same path as the video but still nothing. Help Please !
Ofc rosetta stones get farmed in prison :O also declining 54 times without messing up is more of a challenge to me then the walking part xD works for remastered version on PC
2020... Covid-19 quarantine... 8 stones and counting 😁🍻
Works on X-box ff8 Re-mastered, got it on the first try! Practiced for about 10 min, step by step and executed. Thanks!
Hard to do it in ps1 emulator 😭
Still works on switch version :P First 5 tries i was convinced it was gone.. then i challenged him for 55 times before accept, and got my first one. Next run felt smoother so i accepted at 54 and got another. then next couple tries were rough, but got all 3 within 20 tries, far from perfect, but acceptable :p
works for the remastered (switch) version too!
Works on FF8 Remastered on Steam! Thanks!
Thank you! I can confirm it works on the PS4 version of the Remaster. Video on my channel.
Can someone confirm this works on the FF8 Remastered version for steam too? And is a hard reset just closing the game or shuting down the device (PC)?
Can confirm it works on the xbox version at least
Trying to confirm it on PS4 remastered version now. First attempt was a failure, but Illt try more.
Works! Ill upload the video in a minute!
It works on remastered version on PS4 so I'm pretty sure It should work on PC too th-cam.com/video/YCKcHqB-CXM/w-d-xo.html
Just tried it and it doesn't work.
Its not worth. Fastest way is farming 100x curse spike then tool refine to shaman stone then refine to rosseta stone
Sweet 2 Rosetta stones in a row...I've been following guides and videos, but couldn't get it done.......I had to use both thumbs on d-pad for quicker control.......especially last step when entering card room from screen load. Thank You Timediver14 & Gastrophetes & Absolute Steve...job well done.
i remember doing something similar in, Romancing saga Minstrels song.....timing the title screen animation and then loading to get that item...diff timing = diff item.....i tried to learn from Japanese sites/players
7 ебаныз дней сидел блядь 1500 игр и хуй выпал. Где блядь он тут?
but then you refine all those Rosetta Stones to Shaman Stones, and then down to LuvLuv G so you can go ahead and do this 300 times to get all stocked up for your perfect playthrough
My first 100% playthrough of this game on the PS1, I got the Rosetta stone after challenging him once. I thought it was completely randomized, and tried getting more for about 5 hours, and never did.
OMG it works ! :D First attempt following the D-Pad buttons in the description, cancelled card game 54 times, beat the man and got my rosetta stone ! I played this game a lot and I have to wait 19 years to finally have infinite rosetta AND Pocket Station (the only update with the steam version). Thanks man ! Nice work
Man ... this still works ... thanks a lot man
Thank you! I got it in the first try :D
Wow it worked... love you
Thank you :D
Awesome! It works on Steam version. The trick is you have to run as fast as possible (with a stable time record) and measure your own rejection times. My thanks to Selamat Zhang's comment: th-cam.com/video/dTKEdmyK-z8/w-d-xo.html&lc=UggfFpY9HMarhHgCoAEC Finally, I did it at the 51st match 😂 Edit: I've tried my best to run at the same speed in the video and got it at the 55th match (54 rejections) 😁
XD
it works: WATCH THE VIDEO also another tip: you dont need enc-none; i just got three in a row without enc-none. you need to get a random battle outside the save point room before saving for the hard reset; if you get into a battle, hard reset, get the battle outside the savepoint room, save, hard reset, and try again.
It fucking works, unbeliable!!! I've got so fast in the cell, that it tooks me 55 declines instead of 54, it means, you just have to get the RIGHT TIMING.
That's a neat exploit. Note that it will only work on the original PSX version of the game. You also need to hard reset the console each time. L1-L2-R1-R2-Select-Start won't work for this exploit.
Works for me, much thanks my friend!! I spent 10k gold and didnt get any before i come across this video
