  1. Final Fantasy XII
  2.  
  3. Platform: PS2
  4. Released:
  5. 16.03.2006 (J)
  6. 31.10.2006 (NA)
  7. 23.02.2007 (PAL)
  8.  
  9. Based on: PAL-version (SLES-54354)
  10.  
  11.  
  12.  
  13. - ATTENTION! In order to obtain the Zodiac Spear, you must *not* open
  14. certain barrels in four specific locations.
  15. × Rabanastre - Oldtown
  16. × Nalbina Dungeons
  17. × Royal Palace
  18. × Phon Coast - Vaddu Strand
  19.  
  20. - A single save file takes 94 kb of space.
  21. - Press Triangle while pressing up or down to scroll pages. This can also
  22. be used to set the figure to one or all when choosing quantity.
  23. - Many shops will update their wares as you progress in the game.
  24. - Body armor increases physical defense and headwear increases magic
  25. defense. Furthermore, these are divided into three different types. Each
  26. of them consistently increases a different stat in addition to DFP / MDF.
  27. × Heavy: Strength
  28. × Light: HP
  29. × Mystic: Magic
  30. - Shields increase Evade (and occasionally Magic Evade).
  31. - Enemies don't respawn from simply refreshing the area unless you
  32. move two areas away. Loading the game also triggers respawns. If you
  33. stay within one area and its adjacent areas, respawns will occur
  34. eventually.
  35. - Sometimes certain enemies will fail to spawn, but will then spawn,
  36. if you kill other enemies and move away from their spawn point.
  37. - Some enemies (especially Rare Monsters) have a chance of spawning.
  38. If one does not spawn, the respawn rules apply (ie. their spawn is
  39. not re-rolled unless you move two areas away or load the game).
  40. - In some special cases, you have to leave the area (as in, the region)
  41. before the enemy can respawn.
  42. - Some enemies require special conditions in order to spawn.
  43. - You can increase the drop rate and quantity of dropped items by
  44. 'chaining,' ie. killing enemies of the same type in succession.
  45. - Each character can learn 3 Mist Techniques. The second and third ones
  46. will increase the character's max MP multiplier by 1 each. Mist moves
  47. are gained by simply activating an MT panel on the License Board (50 LP
  48. each). One panel can only be activated by one character, so you should
  49. focus on giving them to characters that are part of your final party.
  50. I never actually use the Mist moves, as all I can do with them is produce
  51. very unimpressive damage at the cost of all my MP. I have no idea what's
  52. up with that...
  53. - After completing the Henne Mines, Giza Plains will start alternating
  54. between the Dry and the Rains (2 hours of dry, 1 hour of rains).
  55. - Battle Lore and Magic Lore increase Str/Mag by 1.
  56. - Healing items (with all three Lore skills):
  57. Potion | 150 HP
  58. Hi-Potion | 600 HP
  59. X-Potion | 2400 HP
  60. Phoenix Down | Revive with 50% HP
  61. Ether | 75 MP
  62. Hi-Ether | 300 MP
  63.  
  64. - Instead of chests, the game features what appear to be barrels and
  65. pots, and, unlike before, these containers usually don't give you fixed
  66. items. Instead, these containers have a chance to spawn and a chance
  67. to give you an item (both typically around 50%). There are typically
  68. two different items you can get (equal odds). With the Diamond Armlet,
  69. you have a 10% chance of getting the second item. If you don't get an
  70. item, you'll get money.
  71. - If a barrel you're looking for isn't there or you get the wrong item,
  72. you'll need to respawn it; move 3 areas away and come back to see if
  73. your luck's changed. If there's a save point nearby, you can also reload
  74. your save for the same effect.
  75. - If the RNG doesn't seem forthcoming, reset the console.
  76. - Barrel notes:
  77. s: barrel can only give you one item
  78. nr: barrel does not respawn nor can it give you money
  79. DA: Diamond Armlet required
  80.  
  81. - The Synthesis system in FFXII is essentially pretty basic (get the
  82. required materials, then just create the item), but there are a few
  83. things that set it apart. First off, the game tells you nothing. You
  84. can't see what items can be created nor what materials they require
  85. (the guides got you covered, though).
  86. - The way it works is that the item is automatically created once you've
  87. sold the necessary materials. The game keeps track of the number of
  88. each material you've sold, but when an item is created, the values for
  89. the used materials will go down to 0.
  90. - You can save yourself from extra grinding by taking advantage of the
  91. overlap mechanic. Eg. if weapon a requires 4 of item x and weapon b
  92. requires 5, you only need 5 if you unlock both weapons at the same
  93. time, during the same session.
  94. - Also, the created items have to be bought.
  95. - Some items can be created more than once. However, another one will
  96. not be made until you've bought the pre-existing one.
  97.  
  98. - Notes on the PS4 version:
  99. × The License Board has been nerfed quite a bit, as you are now limited
  100. to only two classes (with the second one becoming available after the
  101. Tomb of Raithwall). Not that big a deal so long as two of your characters
  102. have White Mage as their other class. The third one should be a Knight,
  103. as that class has access to Curaga and Curaja, although only one Knight
  104. can get them, since they're tied to summons. If you get Seitengrats,
  105. there's no need for anyone to take the Archer.
  106. × Choose your classes carefully, as there's no way to switch them for
  107. some warped reason. [can change in later versions]
  108. × Characters still have the same default licenses. As such, even if
  109. you don't make a single Archer or Machinist, you can still steal with
  110. Vaan, Balthier and Fran.
  111. × The White Mage can learn Libra with Cuchulainn.
  112. × The fast forward function makes things a lot less tedious.
  113. × You can use the Japanese voice track as well as turn the godawful
  114. music off.
  115. × There's a new overlay map function that you can toggle with L3.
  116. × There are no more limits on stats or damage. The game is unable to
  117. show stat figures that exceed the old limits, however.
  118. × Pretty much all the containers are different. Containers are re-rolled
  119. simply when you refresh the area.
  120. × Most abilities are obtained in a different way, such as from containers,
  121. although you usually don't have to worry about any of the odds. You
  122. just have to find them.
  123. × Quickenings no longer consume MP, but instead have their own bar.
  124. Also, learning a Quickening no longer increases your MP.
  125. × You can easily get a Diamond Armlet in Westersand - Windtrace Dunes.
  126. It's in the separate section accessed from the Shimmering Horizons.
  127. Once you have that, you can try and score a Seitengrat (or two) by
  128. manipulating the RNG. It's quite easy. If you don't get the right
  129. Cure figures in a minute or two, restart the game.
  130. × Even if you don't get the secret weapons, you should forget about
  131. the Zodiac Spear. The one in the Necrohol is gone. The easiest way
  132. to get one now is by giving 10 trophies to each bangaa in the Hunt
  133. Club side quest at Phon Coast (available after Draklor Lab). I'd go
  134. with the Ribbon instead (16 to Stok). That way you can get another
  135. pair of Genji Gloves as well. By the way, a Ribbon now gives you
  136. Auto-Libra and Auto-Regen in addition to status protection.
  137. × Since only the Time Mage can cast Float, you'll want to wear Steel
  138. Poleyns or Winged Boots in areas with nasty traps you can't easily
  139. avoid.
  140. × Regarding double xp, there's one Embroidered Tippet in Nam-Yensa
  141. Sandsea (Simoon Bluff, 100%) and another in Feywood (Antiquity's End,
  142. 25%). To get a third one, you have to Poach Coeurls in the Tchita
  143. Uplands (Coeurls found elsewhere won't do).
  144. × You can find one Cameo Belt in the Barheim Passage (you have to
  145. complete the side quest in the South Bank Village in Estersand to get
  146. the Barheim Key). There's another one in Subterra. You can also steal
  147. it from Cuchulainn in Trial Stage 42.
  148. × In the Belito hunt, you need to get to the separate section of the
  149. Withering Shore, accessed through the Zertinan Caverns.
  150.  
  151. × In Pharos - Subterra, you need to use a certain number of Black Orbs
  152. on the four pedestals in order to access the next level. The game tells
  153. you when you have the right amount, so it's quite simple. At the end,
  154. you'll find the Elite Mark, Shadowseer. And that's it. There are some
  155. nice items too and the xp is good.
  156. × Abyssal has stasis traps (Reverse & Disable) that you really don't
  157. want to risk triggering. You can get rid of both with Esuna, but that
  158. requires that you're actually able to cast magic. Reverse is something
  159. a Ribbon won't block (which is really a good thing).
  160. × There are a few Magic Pots in Subterra that you need to watch out.
  161. Tweak your gambits so your characters will only attack undead enemies.
  162. If you end up provoking a Magic Pot somehow, run for your fucking life.
  163. Using an Elixir on them will make them very easy to kill, but there's
  164. really no reason to bother (except once for the bestiary). Without
  165. using an Elixir, they'll take 0 damage even from the Seitengrat.
  166. Ironically (or perhaps fittingly?), these guys are actually the best
  167. source for Elixirs (stolen).
  168. × Items of note in Subterra:
  169. × Indigo Pendant (Penumbra - NE, in the room with the Magic Pot, 5%)
  170. × Assassin's Arrows (Penumbra - SE)(respawns)
  171. × Ring of Renewal (Penumbra - SW, 20%)
  172. × Cameo Belt (Umbra - NW, the room to the right, 5%)
  173. × Nihopalaoa (Umbra - SW, next to a pillar in the large room, 5%)
  174. × Ribbon (Abyssal - NW, on the left, *not* in the room with the MP, 10%)
  175. × Bubble Belt (Abyssal - NW, the northwest-most pot)(respawns)
  176. × Wither (Abyssal - NW, in the middle of the large room, 10%)
  177. × Great Trango (Abyssal - SE, large room, 2%)
  178. × You can't use magic when fighting Zeromus in the Stilshrine of Miriam.
  179. Not an issue at very high levels.
  180. × Stuff in the new areas of Henne Mines (requires 10 Espers):
  181. × Phase 2 Shaft: Sage's Ring (25%)(in the area accessed from Feywood)
  182. × Phase 2 Dig: Dueling Mask, Fomalhaut, Nihopalaoa (25%), Grand Helm
  183. (25%)(dead end near the little cart), Circlet, Makkara
  184. × Crossover C: Germinas Boots, Bubble Belt (25%)(in the trap)
  185. × Special Charter Shaft:
  186. × Renew, Lordly Robes, Brave Suit (25%), Zodiac Spear (1%)
  187. × Addle (10%)(long, uncharted path in the middle with no splits)
  188. × Ribbon (15%)(the room in the middle of the four)
  189. × Grand Armor (25%)(right where you found the stash of booze)
  190. × When fighting Gilgamesh, your level should be one of the following:
  191. 79, 83, 85, 89, 91, 95, 97. For the first encounter, it doesn't matter.
  192. He ignores evade and hits increasingly hard. When he pulls out the
  193. 'legendary sword,' quickly hit him with Dispel before he puts up his
  194. barrier. And don't forget to steal the Genji gear.
  195. × Talk to the boy again after taking a skyferry to increase the odds
  196. of running into Deathgaze. No need to bother with the 7 sisters side
  197. quest. The reward is just a Ring of Renewal (Auto-Regen). Either way,
  198. Deathgaze starts off immune to physicals.
  199. × The gates in the new areas of the Great Crystal work in a different
  200. way than the ones in the story-related section. Each switch can open
  201. two different gates. After hitting a switch, you have to get to and
  202. manually open either of the two gates within a time limit. Only one
  203. of the two gates can be open at a time. Hitting a switch again will
  204. reset the gates.
  205. × Items with a limited spawn chance in the new areas:
  206. × Staff of the Magi (Sirhru Phullam Praa'vaa)(near WS XIII (via XI))
  207. × Yagyuu Darkblade (Sirhru Jilaam Pratii'vaa)(via WS XII)
  208. × Gendarme (Crystal Peak)(1%)
  209. × You'll find Shellga behind Leo 1 (via WS XII)
  210. × Way Stone XV takes you to the trickiest part. Here's the order:
  211. Libra 1, item, Capricorn 1, Virgo 1, Libra 2, Capricorn 2, WS XVII,
  212. (Save point), Aquarius switch, WS XVIII, Aquarius 1, Taurus 2, Hastega.
  213. × Way Stone XXI (beyond Taurus 1) takes you to Omega (+ an Artemis
  214. Bow), although you can't fight it until you've killed the Hell Wyrm.
  215. × Ultima's Holyja causes Reverse (even if you absorb the damage). She'll
  216. use it more frequently as the battle goes on. It will also get more
  217. powerful; anyone without Bubble or Holy absorption will not survive
  218. (there's one White Mask in the Necrohol and you can get another one
  219. through Synthesis). She can also Reflect the party. Various debilitations
  220. will be inflicted on you for most of the battle. They come in this order:
  221. HP drain, MP drain, Attack seal, Magic seal, Technique seal, Item seal,
  222. increased Charge Time. At very high levels, you should manage.
  223. × To fight Chaos in the Necrohol, you need to complete the medallion
  224. side quests.
  225. × Talk to the nu'mou in the Nabreus Deadlands to start the quest.
  226. × In Archades, you'll find a nu-mou named Roh'kenmu in the Magic shop.
  227. Talk to him, then Otto in Old Archades.
  228. × In Rabanastre, you have to talk to Roh'kenmou at Dalan's place,
  229. the kids near Dalan's place, the Curious Woman by the fountain, one
  230. of the bangaa merchants at the bazaar, the Sotted Imperial at the
  231. Magic shop and then one of the kids again (Filo).
  232. × In the Garamsythe Waterway, you need to activate the 5 switches in
  233. a certain order. This has nothing to do with Cuchulainn, by the way.
  234. × You can't use the Attack command when fighting Chaos. He can inflict
  235. 3 ailments (Confusion, Disable, Silence), so Ribbons will come in handy
  236. once again. Avoid all elements except Earth. Souleater will get the job
  237. done nicely.
  238. × When fighting Zodiark, keep resetting until you can steal a Great
  239. Trango (create an auto-save where all the enemies in your way are gone).
  240. Make sure you can actually finish the battle as well. Start off with
  241. all characters absorbing Dark, then remove it from one character after
  242. the initial Darkja. At Lv99 and with Seitengrats, you should be able
  243. to take him out before he starts putting up his barriers at low health.
  244. If he does manage to put up the barrier, things will get tricky, as
  245. he'll put it up again every time it goes down.
  246. × Behemoth King will alternate between a physical barrier and a magic
  247. barrier. He hits very hard during the magic barrier.
  248. × The Cartographer trophy seems to require that you visit every area
  249. in every location you can revisit (maps don't matter). If you didn't
  250. miss anything, you should get it when you enter the area where Hell
  251. Wyrm is.
  252. × Hell Wyrm's normal attack has a 5% chance of inflicting Instant Death.
  253. Judgment is Holy-elemental. You can avoid it by standing on his side.
  254. He'll eventually start using Invert, which swaps your current HP and
  255. MP. All in all, he's nothing to worry about. If you use Reverse, don't
  256. forget to drop the Gendarme. Otherwise, the absorption will kill the
  257. character.
  258. × Omega is a huge cunt. It's only got one attack, but the damage is
  259. very high (around 7000), and it spams it at a relentless pace. It may
  260. also inflict Berserk. The only way I could beat it was by constantly
  261. disengaging. I'd go in, fire a few arrows, then fall back to reapply
  262. Reverse. In Trial Mode, you don't have that option.
  263. × Yiazmat is where I have to draw the line. 50 million HP is just too
  264. much. I'm not doing it.
  265. × You can buy Hi-Ether from the baknamy merchant at the end of the game.
  266. × If you want Megalixirs, the best source would be a pot in Pharos -
  267. Empyrean Ravel (2%).
  268. × If you can actually somehow manage the battle, steal the Bonebreaker
  269. from Omega in Trial Stage 99 and use it to inflict Disease on Drace,
  270. who will otherwise heal herself (and others) with Elixirs. If you fail
  271. to steal it, you'll need to use Niho instead.
  272. × Once you're done with all of the above, it's time to start filling
  273. in the rest of the bestiary. It's mainly just hunting down the Rare
  274. monsters you missed. The three normal enemies you're not likely to
  275. find on your own are the Oiling (Stilshrine of Miriam, hidden path
  276. in Ward of the Sword-King), the Garif Adventurer (Ozmone Plain -
  277. Greensnake. Keep killing the Wus and refreshing the area. If you want
  278. to fight him again, you need to leave the Ozmone Plain) and the Gazer
  279. (Lhusu Mines - Site 2, spawns after 7 minutes). You don't have to get
  280. all the pages.

  363. - If you talk to the Consicuous Bangaa, you can get into the Clan Hall
  364. where you can join Montblanc's hunting clan. This would allow you to

  391. - You can check back with Tomaj for your reward, but I don't bother
  392. myself.
  393. - You can sign up for the next hunt as well (Thextera), but it might
  394. be a little too much for you to handle right now. You'll need to do it
  395. eventually, though, as it gives you access to one of the Monographs.
  396. Aside from that and the mandatory one, I never do any hunting at all.
  397. I find that the rewards just aren't good enough to be worth the time
  398. (you'll be able to buy Bubble Belts, Cat-ear Hoods and Bravery - that's
  399. about it). If you still wanna do it, you can go ahead, but I recommend
  400. against signing up for anything above Rank 6.

  1371. You must *not* kill this enemy. Not until you've mugged him
  1372. for a few chunks of Adamantite. The thing with Trophy Rare Monsters
  1373. is that they *won't* respawn after being killed. I repeat, these guys
  1374. WILL NOT RESPAWN once they've been killed! You'll *need* to take
  1375. care of Thalassinon, though, before any of the other Trophy Rare
  1376. Monsters can be encountered. So... Steal and stash 2 Adamantites,
  1377. and finish him off. Afterwards, you need to talk to the Huntmaster
  1378. and then one of the bangaas near him and choose 'I'm ready.'
  1379. - From now on, you need to be careful not to accidentally kill any
  1380. Trophy Rare Monsters (or at least not any of the important ones).
  1381.  
  1382. - Right, so... Your next goal is to find Giruvegan.
  1383.  
  1384. \\\ Golmore Jungle - Rustling Chapel ||
  1385.  
  1386. [SkipScene178]. This one plays upon entering the Feywood.
  1387.  
  1388. - If you feel like farming Hi-Ether, Feywood is the best place to do so.
  1389. Both Walk of Stolen Truths and Walk of Dancing Shadow have 3 barrels
  1390. that have it and they never give you any money.
  1391.  
  1392. Boss: Rafflesia \\\ The Feywood - Antiquity's End ||
  1393.  
  1394. [SkipScene179]. This one plays after you try to proceed south.
  1395.  
  1396. [SkipScene180]. This one plays when you proceed into the Redolent Glade.
  1397. |
  1398. [Boss]
  1399. - Start off with a Dispel.
  1400. - Slow, Silence, Blind, Sap
  1401. - Avoid all elements except Wind.
  1402. - You may want to protect yourself from Confusion.
  1403. |
  1404. [SkipScene181]
  1405.  
  1406. \\\ Ice Field of Clearsight ||
  1407. - You'll have to walk through the shrines in proper order and using
  1408. the right "doorways." Otherwise the gate at the Edge of Reason won't
  1409. respond no matter what you do.
  1410.  
  1411. \\\ Edge of Reason ||
  1412. Items (b): Deathbringer, Ensanguined Shield (s, nr)
  1413. - These two barrels spawn in the same spot; in the middle of the trap
  1414. near the southwest shrine.
  1415. - Again, go through the shrines according to the mirages. Once you reach
  1416. the gate (Effaced Ruin) in the southwest corner, you'll need to summon
  1417. Belias in order to proceed.
  1418.  
  1419. [SkipScene182]. This one plays when you choose to touch the gate while
  1420. | Belias has been summoned.
  1421. [SkipScene183]
  1422.  
  1423. \\\ Giruvegan - Gate of Earth ||
  1424. - A save point (ie. gate crystal) here. I suggest you get Deathbringers
  1425. for all your characters.
  1426.  
  1427. [SkipScene184]. This one plays when you use the way stone.
  1428.  
  1429. Boss: Daedalus \\\ Gate of Water ||
  1430.  
  1431. [SkipScene185]. This one plays when you approach the statue.
  1432. |
  1433. [Boss]
  1434. - Silence
  1435. - Avoid all elements except Holy.
  1436. |
  1437. [SkipScene186]
  1438.  
  1439. \\\ Trimahla Water-Steps ||
  1440. - You may want to come back for the chests later once you've gotten
  1441. a Diamond Armlet.
  1442. - Walk off the map at the end to reach the next area.
  1443.  
  1444. \\\ Aadha Water-Steps ||
  1445.  
  1446. [SkipScene187]. This one plays when you reach the Haalmikah Water-Steps.
  1447.  
  1448. Boss: Tyrant \\\ Gate of Fire ||
  1449. - Again, follow the invisible path. Shouldn't be too hard to find. Just
  1450. look for the part with the missing railing.
  1451.  
  1452. [SkipScene188]. This one plays when you approach the Great Crystal.
  1453. |
  1454. [Boss]
  1455. - Start off with a Dispel.
  1456. - Avoid all elements except Ice.
  1457. - Can't use Techniques in this battle (hence nothing to steal).
  1458. |
  1459. [SkipScene189]
  1460.  
  1461. \\\ The Great Crystal - A Prama Vikaari ||
  1462. - Take the descending path to reach Ka-... Kabonii... the place where
  1463. you find the Black Mask. You might want to go back and save first, though,
  1464. as this one won't respawn, and you probably don't want the other item.
  1465.  
  1466. Item (b): Black Mask (nr) \\\ Kabonii Jilaam Pratii'vaa ||
  1467.  
  1468. Item (b): White Robes (nr) \\\ Bhrum Pis Avaa ||
  1469. - To find this one, use Way Stone VII, then take the middle path.
  1470.  
  1471. Item (b): Holy Lance (nr) \\\ Trahk Jilaam Praa'dii ||
  1472. - Use Way Stone V, take the path opposite the fish gate.
  1473.  
  1474. \\\ Dha Vikaari Jula ||
  1475.  
  1476. [SkipScene190]. This one plays when you use Way Stone III.
  1477.  
  1478. \\\ Crystal Core ||
  1479. - Notice the save point here. Might make getting the Holy Lance easier.
  1480. Plus, there's another boss coming up, so...
  1481.  
  1482. Item: Treaty-Blade \\\ Gate of Wind ||
  1483. Boss: Shemhazai
  1484.  
  1485. [SkipScene191]. This one plays when you examine Bulwark Minas.
  1486. |
  1487. [Boss]
  1488. - Start off with Dispel.
  1489. - Elemental weakness may vary.
  1490. |
  1491. [SkipScene192]
  1492.  
  1493. [SkipScene193]. This one plays when you use the Empyrean Way Stone.
  1494. |
  1495. [SkipScene194]
  1496. |
  1497. [SkipScene195]
  1498.  
  1499. - Now that you have the Treaty-Blade, a couple of additional side quests
  1500. have become available - not that I'll be doing them.
  1501. - The Empyrean Way Stone has now changed into the Tellurian Way Stone.
  1502. Use it to return to the Gate of Earth.
  1503.  
  1504. \\\ Dalmasca Estersand - South Bank Village ||
  1505. - Diamond Armlet - 20 000
  1506. - When you have the Diamond Armlet equipped, you'll receive different
  1507. items from barrels, with the second item often being pretty good. However,
  1508. you only have 10% chance of getting it instead of the usual 50/50. Combined
  1509. with a chance to spawn and a chance to have money as well as a bitchy
  1510. RNG, it becomes very difficult to reliably obtain any of these rare items.
  1511. It could take many hours. I would only recommend these if you're feeling
  1512. *very* motivated. Even then, there are only a few that *might* be worth
  1513. the time and effort. If you're interested in trying your luck, head on
  1514. over to Cerobi Steppe and try to score the Assassin's Arrows (and maybe
  1515. the Ribbon)(I'll list these later).
  1516.  
  1517. \\\ Old Archades ||
  1518. - Sage's Ring (A:H, Half MP Cost) - 22 000
  1519.  
  1520. \\\ Skyferry - Rabanastre to Nalbina ||
  1521. - Bubble
  1522.  
  1523. \\\ Balfonheim Port ||
  1524. - Perseus Bow (81 ATP) - 14 500
  1525. - Arise - 9700, Esunaga - 14 900, Dispelga - 8200, Protectga - 9400,
  1526. Shellga - 9900, Darkga - 9400
  1527. - Don't trigger the next story event yet. Doing so makes Reddas join
  1528. you as a guest, and I feel he gets in the way too much.
  1529.  
  1530. \\\ Canal Lane - Port Villa B ||
  1531. Item (b): Ensanguined Shield (DA)(nr)
  1532. - Don't forget to save your game before trying this one. This will be
  1533. easier than typical DA-items seeing as the barrel always spawns and
  1534. never gives money.
  1535.  
  1536. - You should be around Lv60 at this point. That should be enough to get
  1537. the Zodiac Spear. Pick up the Warmage's Monograph first (if you don't have it)
  1538. (listed below).
  1539.  
  1540. Boss: King Bomb \\\ Salikawood - Quitened Trace ||
  1541.  
  1542. [AddSkipScene04]. Proceed into the Grand Bower.
  1543. |
  1544. [Boss]
  1545. - Slow
  1546. - Avoid all elements except Water.
  1547. - Get rid of Oil as quickly as possible (or just equip Gillie Boots).
  1548. - Whenever he drops below 50% HP, he'll use Renew to fully heal himself.
  1549. (No, Reverse will not work)
  1550. |
  1551. [AddSkipScene05]
  1552.  
  1553. \\\ Salikawood - Corridor of Ages ||
  1554.  
  1555. [AddSkipScene06]. Enter the Necrohol of Nabudis.
  1556.  
  1557. \\\ Necrohol of Nabudis - Hall of Effulgent Light ||
  1558. - Both Baknamys and Elvorets will evade most of your attacks. Consider
  1559. equipping Cameo Belts.
  1560. - No, you won't be able to sneak past the enemies using Vanish.
  1561. - Check the corner in the room that's not on the map to find the Baknamy
  1562. merchant.
  1563. × Maximillian - 17 000, Magepower Shishak - 15 000, Telekinesis - 7100,
  1564. Demon Shield (40 Eva, A:D) - 11 200, Ring of Renewal - 18 000
  1565.  
  1566. \\\ Cloister of Distant Song ||
  1567. - Do *not* go through the Door of Horrors.
  1568.  
  1569. \\\ Cloister of the Highborn ||
  1570. Item (b): Zodiac Spear (Unique)(s, nr)
  1571. - Do *not* go through the Door of Despair.
  1572. - Do *not* have the Diamond Armlet equipped when opening the barrels!
  1573. (You can put it on after getting the spear).
  1574. - The Zodiac Spear is one of the strongest weapons in the game with
  1575. an ATP of 150. As I've already explained, you can only get it if you
  1576. left certain barrels unopened in four specific locations.
  1577. - You can either head back the way you came from or keep going to reach
  1578. the Nabreus Deadlands.
  1579.  
  1580. - This is where I do a whole bunch of Synthesis, which is, of course,
  1581. completely optional. If you don't feel like doing it, you can go ahead
  1582. and head to the final dungeon.
  1583. - If you're in, you can start by unlocking and buying all the Monographs
  1584. (in case you already haven't)(easiest done in Rabanastre). To unlock
  1585. them, you need to talk to certain types of shopkeepers or check the hunting
  1586. notice board a certain number of times. They'll all show up as 'Forgotten
  1587. Grimoires.' Each of them gives certain types of enemies the chance to
  1588. drop a new item (although in many cases it's the worthless Pebble).
  1589.  
  1590. Knight's Monograph | 19 000 | Weapon, 30 times | Giants, insects
  1591. Scholar's Monograph | 22 000 | Armor, 15 times | Constructs
  1592. Mage's Monograph | 21 000 | Magic, 25 times | Fiends
  1593. Sage's Monograph | 25 000 | Any, 100 times | Elementals
  1594. Warmage's Monograph | 20 000 | Noticeboard, 20x | Undead, amorphs
  1595. Dragoon's Monograph | 22 000 | Noticeboard, 40x | Plants, dragons
  1596. Hunter's Monograph | 18 000 | Thextera hunt* | Beasts, avions
  1597.  
  1598. - * You'll also need to talk to Gatsly at the bazaar afterwards.
  1599.  
  1600. - Right, so, I'll be covering most of the items listed in the misc.
  1601. file. Let's start with the Ultima Blade (overlaps with the Bubble Belt).
  1602. - Doing hunts is *not* required. Again, if you're doing them anyway, I
  1603. have to recommend against signing up for anything above Rank 6. Those
  1604. guys are brutally hard. If you sign up for them and can't take them out,
  1605. they'll always be a threat to you when moving in their location.
  1606.  
  1607. Ultima Blade | 2× Adamantite
  1608. | 2×´Death Powder
  1609. | Gnoma Halcyon
  1610.  
  1611. \\\ Phon Coast - Vaddu Strand ||
  1612. Theft: Adamantite (Thalassinon)
  1613. - Already covered this one. You'll need two chunks. If you still haven't
  1614. killed the Thalassinon, you'll want to do that once you have the metals,
  1615. so we can encounter the other Trophy Rare Monsters. After that, you need
  1616. to go to the camp and talk to the Huntmaster and then one of the bangaas
  1617. near him and choose 'I'm ready.'
  1618. - In case you forgot, Trophy Rare Monsters do *not* respawn.
  1619.  
  1620. Lost & Found: Adamantite (Adamantitan - MG) \\\ Cerobi Steppe ||
  1621. - In case you killed Thalassinon before getting enough Adamantite,
  1622. here's the alternative.
  1623.  
  1624. \\\ Ozmone Plain - Switchback ||
  1625.  
  1626. [AddSkipScene07]. Enter the Zertinan Caverns.
  1627.  
  1628. \\\ Zertinan Caverns - Athroza Quicksands ||
  1629. Boss: Adrammelech
  1630.  
  1631. [AddSkipScene08]. Proceed.
  1632. |
  1633. [Boss]
  1634. - Use your bows.
  1635. - Slow, Blind
  1636. - Avoid all elements except Ice.
  1637. |
  1638. [AddSkipScene09]
  1639.  
  1640. Theft: Mythril (Molen) \\\ Hourglass Basin ||
  1641. - You can make Molen spawn by taking the hidden path near the save point
  1642. and waiting for a while at the end of the narrow path where the Grenades are.
  1643. He spawns on the other side, though, so you have to go back to where the
  1644. Buers are / were. You can also get Mythril from the Mythril Golems at
  1645. Giruvegan. You'll need 3.
  1646.  
  1647. \\\ Drybeam Cavern ||
  1648. Lost & Found: Battlewyrm Carapace (Skulwyrm)
  1649.  
  1650. \\\ Darkened Wharf ||
  1651. Lost & Found: Death Powder (Bogey - MG)
  1652. - You won't be finding Bogeys in large numbers. There are two of them
  1653. here (the other one might refuse to spawn at first) and one more in
  1654. the Drybeam Cavern.
  1655.  
  1656. Theft: Battlewyrm Carapace (Archaeoaevis) \\\ Balamka Fault ||
  1657. Lost & Found: Emperor Scale (Archaeoaevis - MG)
  1658. - You need to get 2 Emperor Scales.
  1659. - Don't forget that you can trigger the respawn by moving two areas
  1660. away. Study your map to figure out an efficient way to do so.
  1661.  
  1662. \\\ Dalmasca Westersand ||
  1663. Theft / Lost & Found: Gnoma Halcyon (Gnoma Entite - Rare)
  1664. - You can find the Gnoma Entite in the Midfault and Shimmering
  1665. Horizons but only during a sandstorm. You can re-roll the weather by
  1666. moving between Westersand and some other location.
  1667. - Entites will hit you with Silencega when you cast spells, so better
  1668. have a Rose Corsage equipped on at least one character. The others
  1669. should have Nishijin Belts, as getting hit by Sleepga can easily result
  1670. in a game over.
  1671.  
  1672. Item (b): 50 000 gil (DA)(nr) \\\ Giza Plains D - Gizas South Bank ||
  1673. - Hopefully you remembered to stay away from the barrel I told you about
  1674. back at the beginning of the game (the one on the little bridge near
  1675. the path to the Estersand). Use the nearby save point so you won't get
  1676. an item instead.
  1677. - If it's rain season, you just need to wait a while (it lasts for an
  1678. hour. The Dry lasts for 2).
  1679.  
  1680. \\\ Toam Hills ||
  1681. Theft / Lost & Found: Snake Skin (Wildsnake)
  1682. - Get some Snake Skin as well if you don't already have 12. Do *not*
  1683. sell them yet.
  1684.  
  1685. Artemis Bow | 2× Great Serpent's Fang
  1686. | 2× Moondust
  1687. | Sylphi Halcyon
  1688.  
  1689. Sagittarius | 3× Beastlord Horn
  1690. | 3× Moon Ring
  1691. | 4× Sagittarius Gem
  1692. | 60 000 gil
  1693.  
  1694. Artemis Arrows | 3× Gemini Gem
  1695. | 2× Dorsal Fin
  1696. | 2× Vampyr Fang
  1697.  
  1698. \\\ Ozmone Plain ||
  1699. Theft / Lost & Found: Sylphi Halcyon (Sylphi Entite - Rare)
  1700. - You can find Sylphi Entite in Haulo Green and Field of Light Winds,
  1701. but only if it's cloudy (very cloudy, not just scattered clouds).
  1702.  
  1703. \\\ Feywood ||
  1704. Lost & Found: Moondust (Mu - MG)
  1705. - Not many Mus around. I suggest you kill the two near the entrance to
  1706. the eastern part of Henne Mines, then visit the Walk of Stolen Truths
  1707. through the Walk of Flitting Rifts to respawn them. Either way, watch
  1708. out for Confuse.
  1709.  
  1710. \\\ Henne Mines - Phase 2 Shaft ||
  1711. Lost & Found: Vampyr Fang (Abysteel - MG)
  1712.  
  1713. \\\ Mosphoran Highwaste - Northern Skirts ||
  1714. Lost & Found: Beastlord Horn (Humbaba - MG),
  1715. Great Serpent's Fang (Python - MG),
  1716.  
  1717. \\\ Babbling Vale ||
  1718. - Activate the 5 shrines here (need to use a chocobo to reach one of them).
  1719.  
  1720. Boss: Exodus \\\ Skyreach Ridge ||
  1721.  
  1722. [AddSkipScene10].
  1723. |
  1724. [Boss]
  1725. - Resistant to all elements.
  1726. - Items are sealed.
  1727. - His spells deal about 4000 pod. Better equip the Bubble Belt.
  1728. - Exodus can also become immune to physical attacks for a while. You
  1729. could use Balance at that point (Dispel his Reflect first, though).
  1730. |
  1731. [AddSkipScene11]
  1732.  
  1733. \\\ Empyrean Seat ||
  1734. Lost & Found: Moon Ring (Ash Wyrm - MG)
  1735. - The best way to trigger the respawn is to load the game. Don't run
  1736. back to the save point if you fail to score a Moon Ring. Just load the
  1737. game.
  1738.  
  1739. Tournesol | 3× Empyreal Soul
  1740. | High Arcana
  1741. | Soul Powder
  1742. | 2× Wargod's Band

  1751. | 2× Serpent Eye
  1752. | 4× Snake Skin

  1754. | 600 000 gil (+ 240 000)
  1755.  
  1756. High Arcana | Soul of Thamasa
  1757. | Feystone
  1758. | 10× Arcana

  1760. Cat-ear Hood | 2× Einherjarium
  1761. | 2× White Incense
  1762. | 7× Virgo Gem
  1763. | 30 000 gil
  1764.  
  1765. \\\ Salikawood - Piebald Path ||
  1766.  
  1767. [AddSkipScene12]. Enter the Nabreus Deadlands.
  1768.  
  1769. \\\ Nabreus Deadlands - Echoes of the Past ||
  1770. Lost & Found: Dorsal Fin (Focalor - MG)
  1771.  
  1772. Theft: Sagittarius Gem (Foobar) \\\ The Slumbermead ||
  1773. - Foobars spawn in four spots and drop down when you get close. The gem
  1774. isn't the most common steal, but it's not rare either. Equip Bowline
  1775. Sashes on the other two characters or Mythril Bubbles will completely
  1776. fuck you up.
  1777. - There's a hidden path here.
  1778.  
  1779. \\\ Succour Midst Sorrow ||
  1780. - You can steal a Feystone from the Crystalbug, but you should already
  1781. have enough of them.
  1782.  
  1783. \\\ Lifeless Strand ||
  1784. Lost & Found: Wargod's Band (Leinir - MG)
  1785. - It's faster to get Wargod's Bands off Victanir, but this one works,
  1786. too.
  1787. - There's a hidden path here that takes you to two Foobars.
  1788.  
  1789. \\\ Necrohol of Nabudis ||
  1790. Lost & Found: Soul of Thamasa (Oversoul - MG)
  1791. - Oversouls spawn at your location after you've killed a certain
  1792. number of enemies. Once you've killed 6 of them (at which point Helvinek
  1793. spawns), they won't re-appear until you've been outside of the Necrohol.
  1794. - You'll need to score two of these. You probably already got one
  1795. High Arcana from Montblanc. If not, get it once you're done here.
  1796.  
  1797. \\\ Hall of Ivory Covenant ||
  1798. Theft: Soul Powder (Vorres (Trophy))
  1799. - Do *not* go through the Door of Loathing.
  1800. - There's a 20% chance that a Dark Elemental will spawn here. Provoke it
  1801. and have it chase you around. Vorres should then spawn fairly close to
  1802. the Door of Loathing.
  1803. - I will remind you *not* to kill any of the important Trophy Rare
  1804. Monsters.
  1805. - You can get one Soul Powder by completing the Ixtab hunt. It becomes
  1806. available after doing 4 hunts.
  1807.  
  1808. \\\ Cloister of the Highborn ||
  1809. Theft: Einherjarium (Babil - Rare)
  1810. Lost & Found: Holy Crystal (Babil), Einherjarium (Babil - MG)
  1811.  
  1812. \\\ Paramina Rift ||
  1813. Theft / Lost & Found: Leshach Halcyon (Leshach Entite - Rare)
  1814. - Leshach Entite spawns in Head of the Silverflow and Icebound Flow
  1815. during a blizzard. There are three different states of weather here:
  1816. not snowing, snowing and blizzard (the last two being somewhat similar,
  1817. so you need to learn to tell the difference). Unlike in eg. Ozmone Plain,
  1818. the weather is re-rolled whenever you move to another area (any area)
  1819. except when you have a blizzard. The blizzard lasts indefinitely *unless*
  1820. you go to the Frozen Brook or Spine of the Icewyrm. You *cannot* have
  1821. a blizzard in these areas. Furthermore, the blizzard is not one of the
  1822. possible rolls when moving within the Paramina Rift.
  1823. - Thus, the fastest way to do this is to trigger a blizzard, then move
  1824. back and forth between Icebound Flow and Silverflow's End.
  1825. - Get the Damascus off Anchag as well.
  1826.  
  1827. \\\ Spine of the Icewyrm ||
  1828. Lost & Found: White Incense (Garuda-Egi - MG)
  1829. - Turn off your Gambits, so you won't kill them while they're over
  1830. the gorge. There are three of them, but occasionally one of them refuses
  1831. to spawn in which case you need to move closer towards the south end.
  1832. - The Cat-ear Hood is an accessory this time around. It increases your
  1833. Speed by 50 and Vitality by 20 (no idea what these bonuses amount to
  1834. in practice).
  1835.  
  1836. Theft: Aquarius Gem (Facer) \\\ Stilshrine of Miriam - Walk of Reason ||
  1837.  
  1838. Theft: Taurus Gem (Seeker) \\\ Tomb of Raithwall ||

  1843. \\\ Feywood - Walk of Stolen Truths ||
  1844. Lost & Found: Hell-Gate's Flame (Cerberus - MG)
  1845.  
  1846. \\\ Nam-Yensa Sandsea - Yellow Sands ||
  1847. Theft: Wargod's Band (Victanir (Trophy))
  1848. - Victanir has a 40% chance to spawn near the path to Zertinan Caverns.
  1849. It'll start off invisible, but you should be able to see its camouflage.
  1850. Either way, it'll attack you and become visible when it sees you.
  1851. - Use the save point at Yensa Border Tunnel, then load the game if it
  1852. doesn't spawn.
  1853.  
  1854. \\\ Cerobi Steppe - Feddik River ||
  1855. Theft: Scarletite (Aspidochelon (Trophy))
  1856. - Aspidochelon has a 40% chance to spawn.
  1857.  
  1858. \\\ Northsward ||
  1859. Item (b): Assassin's Arrows (DA)
  1860. - You could also try scoring this occasionally. The barrel in question
  1861. spawns by a small rock thingie at the midpoint of the north edge.
  1862. This'll be easier once you have the airship, as it can drop you down
  1863. to the save point.
  1864.  
  1865. \\\ Crossfield ||
  1866. Items (b): Icecloud Arrows (DA), Ribbon (DA)
  1867. - The barrel with the Icecloud Arrows spawns by the trees north when you
  1868. come from Journey's Rest (not the one behind the trap).
  1869. - The barrel with the Ribbon spawns next to the rocks west when you come
  1870. from the Northsward.
  1871.  
  1872. Item (b): Artemis Arrows (DA) \\\ Terraced Bank ||
  1873. - This one is by the edge of the cliff north when coming from North
  1874. Liavell Hills (close to the structure).
  1875.  
  1876. \\\ Dalmasca Westersand - Corridor of Sand ||
  1877. Lost & Found: Arcana (Dustia)
  1878. - You need to farm 20 Arcanas in order to create 2 High Arcanas. You
  1879. should already have a bunch of them. It's a fairly common Monograph
  1880. drop from any Rare Monster.
  1881. - The best way to get the stuff (without the CJ) is by fighting Dustia.
  1882. It spawns in your location if one of your characters is below 10% HP
  1883. (but not dead). Also, Dustia won't respawn unless you leave the
  1884. Westersand, although it makes little difference. To get below 10%, kill
  1885. a character, give them a Phoenix Down and a Potion, then hit them with
  1886. Graviga.
  1887. - If you've been doing hunts, you've probably unlocked the Canopic Jar,
  1888. which would allow you to score Arcanas from any normal enemy. However,
  1889. this stuff bacomes essentially useless after unlocking the Tournesol,
  1890. so you should still go with the Dustia option and save 250 grand.
  1891.  
  1892. - Well, that's it. Once you have all the materials (6 Wargod's Bands,
  1893. 6 Damascus, etc.), you need to sell the minimum amount required for the
  1894. synthesis, buy the result, then do it again. Make sure you synthesize
  1895. Empyreal Soul and Serpentarius at the same time, so you don't have to
  1896. make more High Arcanas.
  1897. - You could save yourself from a little extra material hunting if you
  1898. waited until you can unlock the Masamune as well, but that's not until
  1899. you're almost done with the final dungeon.
  1900. - The Tournesol is a 2-handed sword with an ATP of 140.
  1901.  
  1902. Guest: Reddas \\\ Balfonheim Port - Saccio Lane ||
  1903.

  1971.  
  1972. \\\ Second Ascent - The Reach ||
  1973. - There are four altars here. Each of them disables one of the following
  1974. commands: Attack, Magic, Technique, Item. You have to activate one of
  1975. them in order to proceed.
  1976. - If you return here after reaching the Reach of the Occult, you'll still
  1977. have to activate one of the altars to open one of the doors, but nothing
  1978. will be sealed.
  1979.

  1987. Lost & Found: Lifewick (Necrofiend - MG)

  1989. lightly. Muramasa: 84 ATP.
  1990. - There are only a few Necrofiends around. You'll find them in:
  1991. × the southwest corner

  2020. The one that requires the Diamond Armlet is in the corridor going
  2021. west-east, and the other one in the corridor going north-south. The
  2022. latter may give you a Rubber Suit instead, but you can buy that soon,
  2023. so you don't want it. Once you know which waystone takes you there,
  2024. you should use the save point on 67F and load if you don't get the spear.
