Once they have break free, you will be able to exit the Ragnarok via its haul. You can choose to exit the Pandora, but I do not recommend you to do so as there seems to a bit glitch... Talk to the pilot (It will be Selphie if she is not in your current party):-

This battle is relatively easy. Start off the battle by summoning GF Doomtrain as it could does poison elemental damage along with a serious inflict status ailments on both Raijin and Fujin.

Fujin is the stronger of two. Therefore, defeating her first will be your priority. She loves to use Magic a lot. Summon GF Siren to inflict the Silence status. Zan and Sai is her key attacks. Draw-and-cast Protect from Raijin and used it on your allies is a good method to reduce the damage. Seize the opportunity to stock up Full-Life, which is extremely useful for HP-J. You need a lot of hit points for the upcoming boss fights. Raijin has a tendency of casting Aura and this is followed by using his Limit Break - Raijin Spell. Give three character different status ailments such as Silence, Sleep or Blind. If they are under sleep status, summon GF Eden and have fun...

After defeating Fujin and Raijin, make your way to the command room of the Pandora. It is the same area that Zell has fialed earlier... Make your way up the path and choose to make a left turn. In the next screen, Squall will meet Biggs and Wedge. Talk to them and they will reveal that they are tired and sick of fighting Squall and his friends. Use the Save Point that is located near the building. Enter the building and walk on the path towards left. You will end up at the 02 elevator. Board it and you will return to the elevator junction

The following screens should be familiar to you as you have been there earlier. There is a draw point - Curaga near the elevators. South of the elevator junction leads a flight of steps with a draw point - Meteor. Make your way to Elevator 01. Board it. Along the path, there is a draw point - Holy. If you have Move-Find ability, equip it and you will reveal a hidden save point. Save your game and make your necessary preparations.

Make your way towards north and you meet up with Fujin and Raijin in front of the commander's room. They summon the mobile suit that has kicked Zell and company out earlier...
It is a boss fight...

Generally, this boss gets easier as Squall is at high levels. This BOSS typically could attack as a whole or with it's Left and Right Probe. You need to watch out for this messages:

Mobile Weaponary attack mode ON
Support Weaponary attack mode OFF
During this mode, the machine attacks as a whole using its tentacle whip as its key attacking weapon. Its probes will stop attacking. If you attack the body, the boss will counter with its Twin Homing Laser.

Mobile Weaponary attack mode OFF
Support Weaponary attack mode ON
This is simply the reverse of the previous mode. The main body does not attack, but instead the left/right probes will keep on attacking non-stop. They will counter your attacks with Twin Homing Laser, if you attack the respective probes.

If the battle last for a long time, the Boss set its probes and charges for a turn. Upon the next turn, it will unleash the Corona, which does reduces the party's HP to 1. If that happens, draw-and-castthen, quickly draw-and-cast Curaga from probes and used it on the allies except for Squall. Recover comes really handy for this fight. Squall should be able to execute his Limit Breaks - Renzoukuken. If Squall get killed, cast Life or use a Phoenix. You can also replaced it by casting Aura.

Start off the battle by summoning GF Doomtrain or cast Meltdown on the Mobile Type 8 itself. Give your characters 100x Thundaga to Elem-Atk-J and strike with your attacks. You can make use of GF Eden to do the kill...

Restore all your HP and make your preparations before entering the commander's room. Seifer will be standing on the top of the commander stands says that he will defend his fort at all costs. Fujin and Raijin will come to their senses at this point of time and request Squall to defeat Seifer so they can get the old Seifer back. Seifer ignores them and it will be the final boss fight for Disc 3.

It seems rather disappointing not to see Seifer work with his comrades to face Squall and his party. Seifer is fighting on his own and he is going now where with his Bloodfest. Bloodfest does fire-elemental damage to all allies. First of all, stock Aura as it is the game's best support spell and this is only boss that allows you to draw this great magic.

Summon GF Doomtrain, followed by a draw-and-cast Aura procedure on Squall. Have Squall use his Renzoukuken and you will be able to sent Sefier a ticket to planet Doom!

With GF Odin
The battle is even easier if Odin joins your party prior to the boss fight. At the start of the battle you will get a cutscene of Odin get sliced up into half by Seifer. Seifer will feel so proud of himself that he give the following rants...

Squall: "Odin....!?"
Seifer: "Hah, I won't go down that easy."
Seifer: "Show me what you got, Squall."
Seifer: "Let me add another scar for you!"

Do not bother attack Seifer besides healing your characters when necessary. Keep your characters at 3000 HP and above. Use the time to stock 100x Aura for every character as you do not fight Sefier to win this boss fight because...

 
Gilgamesh: "You gave me? the 4th one...!"
Gilgamesh: "Huh? Was it you...?"
Gilgamesh: "Then dodge my sword!"
Gilgamesh: "Eat this!!!"
Seifer: "Ergwahhhh!!!!"
Gilgamesh: "Where is the dimensional interval....?"

You got GF Gilgamesh!

Upon witnessing Sefier's defeat, Rinoa feels sorry for the latter and moves away. Suddenly, Seifer awakes! He kidnaps Rinoa and bring her to the place where the sealed Adel is...
