Travel to the East from Balamb Garden to get to the Fire Cavern. You should have prepared well by stocking up on lots of magic and training your GFs before entering the Fire Cavern.

As Squall approaches the entrance to the Fire Cavern, he is asked to choose a time limit for the test. The choices are 10, 20, 30, or 40 minutes. Obviously the more time you have, the easier the test will be to complete. However, if you want to get a high SeeD Rank at the graduation, you will want to have as little time left on the clock as possible at the end of the battle with Ifrit. Ten minutes is suffice, dont' worry tough, it's more than it seems.

The Fire Cavern is full of monsters that have a weakness to Ice Magic. Use spells like Blizzards to easily destroy your enimies. Simply head to the North and you'll the Boss, Ifrit there.

GUARDIAN FORCE ALERT!!
Ifrit

HP: 1068 AP: 20 EXP: - HINTS: Weak vs. Ice/Absorbs Fire

Ifrit is the toughest enemy you've faced so far, but this GF isn't as tough as you might think. This Boss is an Elemental and has a single weakness you can exploit, which is Ice magic. Before the battle, make sure your characters can summon Shiva, who is an Ice Elemental. Also, make sure the other has Blizzard spells that he/she can cast.
At the beginning of the battle, immediately summon Shiva and hit Ifrit with Ice magic, ignoring the use of any physical attacks. If Shiva has learned the Boost ability, don't forget to use it because it can finish off Ifrit much quicker. If you're trying to get a higer SeeD Rank, you will need to watch Ifrit's HP. When it gets close to 100 HP, just wait for the clock to wind down to about 20-25 seconds and then use Blizzard magic and physical attacks to bring the battle to an end. After winning this battle, you will receive a G-Returner, Ifrit's Card, 20 AP, and of course Ifrit will become one of your GFs.
