Cerberus does not do any damage when you summon it in battle. Instead, it casts Double and Triple on all of your party members, effectively allowing them to use 2 or 3 Magic in a single turn. This effect may come in handy depending on your play style, but if you don’t find yourself regularly using Magic during a battle, you will find little use for Cerberus. Cerberus does have several Junction abilities, though, that can prove quite useful.
Attack Name: Counter Rockets
Attack Effect: Casts Double and Triple on all party members
How to Obtain Cerberus
Cerberus is one of the easier Guardian Forces to obtain. As you pass through the Galbadia Garden, you will find him standing in the center of the main hall. Head to the Galbadia Garden Walkthrough page for more information.
Alternatively, you can Draw it from Gargantua in Ultimecia’s Castle.
