Final Fantasy VIII Side Quests

Winhill

Head over to to learn a little more about that cute little area, as well as solve a fun puzzle. Make sure you party consists of Squall, Zell and Quistis. When you first walk into town, talk to the ‘seedy’ ;) looking characters and then head to the main mansion. It’s right next door to Ellone’s Parent’s house. Follow the directions below for a prize.

Talk to the man on the stairs a few times, then go down and talk to his wife. Their precious vase is missing! You’ve got to help them find it! (Always the , ain’t ya Squall?)
You did remember to have Squall, Zell and Quistis, right? That’s the key to getting the last piece. If Quistis isn’t there, the joke won’t be made. Go look at the suit of armor. You’ll get a vase piece. Show that to the man on the stairs and you’ll be told to let him know if you find more pieces. Here’s a hint: There are four total.
Optional: Head over to Elle’s house and look at her parent’s picture. If you want, head upstairs and save your game and/or draw curaga.
Head upstairs in Raine’s Pub and talk to the new owner until she tells you about the flowers. Then talk to the cat. o.O
Now go down stairs and smell the flowers closest to the door.
Go over to where Raine appears and she will become a cat. After a few moments, you will be able to pet the cat. When you do, you receive a Vase Piece. Go back and talk to the man on the stairs in the mansion.
Now go outside and talk to all the other people around the area. The guy on the bench doesn’t think to highly of Laguna. The Dispel draw point is still at the bottom of the stairs on that screen. The other draw points from Laguna’s visit are still here, too - though one is all used up.
Go over the bridge and toward the old lady. When she ducks inside her house and slams the door, follow her. Go look at the white flowers by the doorway and tell the lady you like flowers. After her story, smell them. This is Vase Piece Two. Don’t bother trying to get more info out of the lady, she won’t talk to you. Head out and go give the stair guy this Vase Piece.
Now continue down the path and you’ll run across a Chicobo. Time yourself just right and you can bump into him! The first three times you kick him you’ll get a treat (including the third Vase Piece). After that, however, if you keep doing it a big will come and kick you! It’s worth it just to see it. :) Go and give this piece back to the owner.

When you give the last piece to the guy and you will get your final reward. A . What a jerk! Anyway, Didn’t this remind you at least a little bit of the Shumi Village deal? Hmm. I think I’ll go back there and get more Ultima.
