Title: FF7 -- how can you fight Tonberry and Ho-chu outside of the battle arena?
Post by: LegacyHero on 2019-12-07 21:16:26

So, apparently, Tonberry and Ho-chu can only be fought in the battle arena.  The scenes they can be found in don't allow random battles to develop.

Anybody got any suggestions for a workaround to this?  Namely, I want to fight Tonberry in the Northern Crater (first trip) and Ho-chu in the Ancient Forest, but am not certain what the best way to do this is.  I suppose I could overwrite an enemy ID, formation, and battle script in a different scene that is encountered in battles, but I was wondering if there was a better way or an easier way to accomplish this?

Thanks to all who have created this community!

The formations exist already, so what you'd do is open the flevel using Makou Reactor, go to one of the fields on Whirlwind Maze/Ancient Forest, then add their formation ID to the encounter table:

Tonberry
738, 739

Ho-Chu
795
