Final Fantasy VIII (PSP): Cannot Run from X-ATM092 – Must Fight

In Final Fantasy VIII (PS1 Classic on PSP/Vita), the X-ATM092 boss in the Dollet Mission cannot be fled from.

• No "Escape" Command: FF8 removed the standard "Run" command. Escape only via specific abilities (e.g., Card command on non-bosses, GF Diablos "Enc-Half/None" avoids random battles, not scripted bosses).
• Scripted Event: X-ATM092 is a forced sequence. You must defeat it to proceed. It chases you across screens; fighting is mandatory.

Winning Strategy (PSP Controls)

• Junctions: Junction Fire to Elem-Atk (Ifrit) or STR. Blind to ST-Atk-J (helps). HP+ / Vit+.
• Weakness: Fire magic deals massive damage. Stock 100 Fires (Draw from Bombs in Fire Cavern or buy).
• Limit Breaks: Keep Squall/Zell/Quistis low HP → Aura (if have) → Spam Limits (Renzokuken, Duel, Blue Magic).
• Phases: Legs → Body → Head. Target legs first to stop movement/chase. Then body. Head last.
• AP Farming: Kill legs repeatedly (they respawn) for AP before finishing body. Good for GF levels.

No running. Prepare, junction Fire, spam Limits, farm AP, win.
