How to Get Lionheart on CD 1 of Final Fantasy 8

Squall's Lion Heart is the most powerful gunblade in "Final Fantasy VIII," and it's possible to get this weapon on the game's first disc. With the Lion Heart, Squall can perform his ultimate Limit Break attack, a deadly assault that will make quick work of even the toughest enemies.

To obtain the Lion Heart, you will need 12 Pulse Ammo, four Dragon Fangs, and one Admantine. Once you've got all of the ingredients, the Lion Heart will be yours after a visit to the Junk Shop in Deling City.
