Tri-Point (トライエッジ) is a boss in Final Fantasy VIII, encountered in Ultimecia Castle's Wine Cellar. It is one of eight minions that must be defeated to unlock seals on the party. Tri-Point is known for its unique battle mechanic where its initial weakness is to Fire, which then shifts to Ice after being hit by a Fire attack, and vice versa. Using the correct elemental weakness significantly boosts damage, but attacking with a non-weakness element results in a counterattack of a thunder-elemental move, 'Tri-Spark'. The boss can also be drawn for magic, including Siren if not drawn earlier from Elvoret. Additionally, Tri-Point is a Triple Triad card with good stats, and can be refined into a Jet Engine using Quezacotl's Card Mod ability. To access the fight, players need to make a chandelier crash in the area above the Wine Cellar, thus opening access to Tri-Point.
