Then go to Balamb, and talk with a girl using a red skirt at the entrance there. Then go to Zell's house and talk to his Ma, and then go to the Inn and rest. A cutscene will play and the Pigtail girl will give Zell the Combat King 003.
The Conceited SeeD never added anything. So i think he doesn't matter for this cheevo, you can talk to him if you want, but in my experience, it didn't add a point to the cheevo completion.

DeathDragon's guide above is perfect, but I would add a few small notes.

4. If you have Zell because you brought him back with you, doing this right after BGH works too.
8. The girl reading the book is in front of the front desk and will spawn randomly. Leave and re-enter the library if she does not appear.

What does BGH mean?

FBernkastelKues 30 Oct 2023 11:11

BGH is that robot boss you fight twice.

RedrumOverdose 30 Oct 2023 11:26

Ah! Thank you! I think I missed one of the moments for Zell on this run so I'll pay better attention to this list when I do round two.

Can't seem to get #7 to happen. Just finished up Trabia, have 6/9 and they aren't near the Draw point.

rlxldk 24 Jan 2024 12:46

Try re enter to library. afair girl you need not always there

RedrumOverdose 24 Jan 2024 18:31

I must have left and reentered like 30 times at this point.

RedrumOverdose 24 Jan 2024 18:32

It's usually just some guy in the corner, but sometimes it's a woman. What I'm supposed to be seeing is the three girls discussing the survey results, but that doesn't seem to be happening no matter who's in the party or how many times we enter and exit.

Check this video Red, and i hope you not mess with it ) https://youtu.be/rx8ajqiZOcA?si=q0a3X-4hR2GaLLqS

RedrumOverdose 24 Jan 2024 20:44

Yeah, I've done everything up to that point, at 5:31 in the video. I even have 6/9 on the tally. I finished up everything in Trabia and now it's time to approach Gakbadia Garden. So, this is when I'm supposed to find those three girls.

And they're not there. Ever.

rlxldk 25 Jan 2024 14:08

I recommend do an extra save and go on, until final scene , i got this cheevo with 7/9, and some people too, maybe you get this too

RedrumOverdose 25 Jan 2024 20:43

Hmm, alright.

RedrumOverdose 13 Feb 2024 09:15

Okay, things went a little differently for me, but I finally got it. For some reason, #6 didn't occur until after Trabia, #7 didn't occur until after the Dream Sequence with the Ruby Dragon, and then #8 I had to do after getting the Ragnarok, and I couldn't get the girl to spawn until I visited the library without Zell. Once I saw her and talked to her, I brought Zell back in with me and talked to her. Even though this didn't give me the tally for #8, it still seemed to progress things. Then, #9, I had to talk to a girl in a red skirt in front of Balamb, then Zell's Mom, and THEN do the final piece.

I think the game isn't super strict about when these later ones occur, just as long as there are story beat progressions that occur between them and as long as they are (for obvious reasons) completed before starting Disc 4.

@RedrumOverdose gratz xD

Nesouk 21 Apr 2024 16:34

Confirm it went differently for me to, Event 7 wasn't trggering after Trabia so I continue and it instead trigger at the very beginning of Disc 3, after event 7, event 8 trigger after talking to Edea for the first time before Laguna's third dream.

georgessj 24 Aug 2024 04:21

i didnt miss anything yet it said 8/9 but i still got the achi.

DiamondDragon 6 Apr 2025 01:15

I cannot get event 7 to count towards the check list, and this particular scene keeps showing up, even though I talked to the conceited SeeD and the committee chick multiple times.

I skip it and move on hoping it counts, but when I get to the end of the quest, it ends with 8/9 scenes and no cheevo.

What the heck’n heck? What do I do?

DiamondDragon 6 Apr 2025 02:52

Nevermind. I literally reloaded a previous save. Did everything the exact same, and it worked with 8/9 scenes.

Wonkiest. Cheevo. Ever.

bryandelmond 8 May 2025 19:23

So, okay, I panicked a bit because I followed a guide that did the scenes in a different way from the rest of the guides online, and let me say this: the scenes are certainly missable, but they (at least some of them) can be done later than the events DEATHDragon's comment references. You see:

1)The events always happen in a certain order (except for the ones that need specific story events to trigger), and you need to either do a sidequest or advance the story after you get a scene to tigger for the next one to happen. I am not sure which ones need the story to advance and which only need a sidequest.

2) You ABSOLUTELY need to talk to the Conceited Seed when he talks with the dark skinned library commitee girl behind the counter. It does not count as a scene for the cheevo's counter, but it is REQUIRED to advance the quest forward. If you don't, some later scenes will not trigger no matter what you do.

3) If you "missed" a certain scene, don't panic. I'm fairly sure the only scenes with a specific window to trigger are the first one (must be done before talking to Cid after fire cavern, does not need to be done before fire cavern like some guides say), and the ones that happen when Balamb Garden is in the middle of a civil war, and when Irvine is alone while preparing for the Garden Festival. I'm not sure when the cuttoff point for the sidequest is, but I'm positive some of the later scenes can be done in Disc 3, later than most guides say.
