About Version 1.1 [Date: 28 Jan 2007]
I have managed to finish the Rare Game Listing after spending a week in
finding all rare games. Correct some minor errors throughout the entire
FAQ. I have added the transportation guide. The Bazaar Goods section have
been updated although I am still missing some.
Hopefully I can add the following in the next update:
o Monster Bestiary
o Item Bestiary
o Bazaar Goods (complete description)
Before continuning, I would like thank the following persons:
o Sephirosuy and Maltzsan for their extensive guides that I have
frequently refer to in making this FAQ.

Fantasy VII that inspires me to do FAQ writting.

U s i n g t h e F A Q
________________________________________________
Due to the large size of the FAQs, I will recommend you to use a search
code. The basic search code is:
ffxii_XXXX
You just need to replace the XXXX with the four digits that are listed
next to the section under the Table of Conetnts. Press CTRL + F. Type in
the search code eg. ffxii_0123 and click Find.

---------------------
This option will allow you to switch characters. To change leader
(or controlling character), just while in the dungeon, press Up
on the D-Pad. This will allow you to choose the leader. Please
note once the leader is KO'd, you will be given an option for
reselecting your leader.

01-02-03 Equip
---------------------
This allows you to equip equipment (Weapon, Shield, Headgear, Armor
and Accessories). However unlike previous Final Fantasies, to equip
an equipment, the character must acquire the license for it and got
the equipment via purchase, treasure hunting or steal/defeat
enemies. You can make use of the Optimize option to select the best
equipment for equipping. But the Optimize option may not always be
the best choice though...
01-02-04 License
---------------------
This is the character management system in Final Fantasy XII. Treat
it like the Materia System for FFVII, Junction System for FFVIII,
Sphere Grid System for FFX. The License allows your characters to
acquire licenses for Magicks (or commonly known as Magic and it is
not wrong spelling by the way...), Technicks, Espers, Quickenings (
the FFXII's equivalent of Limit Breaks or Overdrive) and Equipment
License. It also include status bonuses such as HP plus and Gambit
Plus. More details will be covered under Section 01-06
01-02-05 Gambit
---------------------
This allows you to priortize your Gambits and whether set on or
off Gambits for your characters. Gambits are very useful for support
and you can also set them in a way to have automatic battles and
you just need to move the characters around. For more details, please
refer to Section 01-05.
01-02-06 World Map
----------------------
The World Map of the area that the party is currently located at can
be accessed by pressing the SELECT button. You will automatically get
full maps when you access towns. While in the world, you will uncover
new areas by exploring which will also updates your world maps. For
dungeons, you can get a full map by purchasing them from moogles that
are scattered all over the world.
01-02-07 Inventory
-----------------------
You will be able to view all the inventory that you have gotten from
your adventure. It will covers Magicks & Technicks, Items, Loot, Key
Items, Equipment, etc. You can store them. Unlike previous Final
Fantasies, you can use items only via the Item command found in
Battle Menu.
01-02-08 Clan Primer
-----------------------
The Clan Primer is like a beginneer's guide to Final Fantasy XII. It
will features Hunt, Bestiary, Sky Pirate's Den and Traveller's Tips.
As you go deeper into the adventurer, the Clan Primer will get
updated. More details will be covered in the other sections.
01-02-09 Config
-----------------------
It allows you to modify the configuration settings for your game.
More details will be cover under Section 01-04
---------------------------------------------------------------------
01-03 NAVIGATION & EXPLORING
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ffxii_0103
01-03-01 Conversation
---------------------------
When you approach a character whom you can engage a conversation,
you will see the !! talk icon appearing on the top of the character.
Just press X or Square to initiate the conversation. This also
applies to examining objects.
01-03-02 Conversation Logs
---------------------------------
Once you finished a conversation with a character, you will be
able to access the conversation logs by using the Triangle button.
Use Up and Down on the D-Pad to back track the conversation. A
pretty useful feature if you don't intend to hear all the
conversation again.
01-03-03 Radar
-------------------------
The radar map will appear on the top right hand corner. Below are
the legend for the radar.
-------------------------------------------------------
Icon Meaning
-------------------------------------------------------
Blue Your characters
Big Blue Esper
Green People in town/ Chocobo
Red Enemy
Big Red Mark
Blue Lines Next Area
-------------------------------------------------------
After Vaan finished his rat cleaning mission, you will be able to
access the World Map menu. Press SELECT to view the full map.
01-03-04 Maps
-----------------------
Maps are very useful as it allows you to locate your destinations.
In FFXII, you can obtain a full map in 2 method - the 1st method
is by exploring and the 2nd method is by buying maps. Maps can be
bought from moogles that you find in towns. Below are the meaning
of the abbreviations that I will be using in the ASCII maps for
the walkthrough.
------------------------------------------------------------
Abbr. Meaning
------------------------------------------------------------
[IS] Item Shop
[WS] Weapon Shop
[MS] Magick Shop
[GC] Technick Shop
[GS] Gambit Shop
[AD] Aerodome
[INN] Taverns, Inns
[SC] Save Crystal
[GC] Gate Crystal/Gate Crystal
(Usually it is named after the city/dungeon)
------------------------------------------------------------
If you select the map and point your cursor at the map, you will
find the name of that area. This is very important as most of the
time, I will be refering the walkthrough areas to the names. In
the main screen of the menu, you will see a numeric figure on the
lower right end of the screen. That indicates the number steps you
have taken.
01-03-05 Treasure Chests/Pots
-----------------------------------
In Final Fantasy XII, the items contained in the treasure pots
are not fixed and they will appear randomnly on the map. They will
locate normally at the edge of the area and will regenerate every
time you reset the game. However, there are some treasure pots
that you should never open:
------------------------------------------------------------
DO-NOT-OPEN TREASURE CHESTS
o- Strongest Weapon in FFXII -o
------------------------------------------------------------
Chest #1
Location: Lowtown - Outside Dalan's House
------------------------------------------------------------
Chest #2
Location: Royal Palace - Cellar (All treasure chests)
------------------------------------------------------------
Chest #3
Location: Nalbina Fortess - Confiscatory (All treasure
chests)
------------------------------------------------------------
Chest #4
Location: Phon Coast - The Vaddu Strand
(the place with 16 Treasure Chests)
------------------------------------------------------------
I will suggest to you to take note of these on a piece of paper.
In the dungeons, you will find Urns and you will retrieve maps from
it. As the treasure obtained from pots are completely random, it is
pointless to state them. Some of the chests will allow you to
obtain rarer treasure with assistance of equipping the Diamond Armlet.
When you are appointing a treasure chest, the ! icon will appear
on the top of leading character. When you are near a target that
you can examine, you can see !! icon and X button where you can
follow up with some actions.
01-03-06 Save Crystal and Gate Crystal
------------------------------------------------
There are 2 types of crystals where you can save your game. They are
found in dungeons and cities. The Save Crystal is blue in colour
while the Gate Crystal (usually named after the town/area) is orange.
Upon touching the crystal, your party will restore all HP/MP and all
status ailments will be cure as well. To save your game, you will
need to have a Memory Card.
The Gate Crystal works like the Save Crystal except you can use it to
teleport from towns to towns by using a Teleport Stone. Teleport
Stones can be obtained from hunts and most enemies drop them. Please
note that you need to have at least 2 Teleport Stones to teleport from
one town to another.
In Rabanstre, there is a Moogling network which allows you to
teleport from one of the town to the other end. This moogling network
will available in the Rabanastre after Vaan and gang has escape from
the Nalbina Fortess.
01-03-07 Experience & License Points
-----------------------------------------
Defeating enemies will nab you experience points, license points and
sometimes an inventory item. Experience points are necessary for your
characters to level up and gains for attribute stats. Licenses, on the
other hand are required for you to learn abilities via the License
Board. Non-participating characters will gain LP but not the
experience points. Unlike previous Final Fantasies, bosses and "marks"
do not award experience points when you defeat them.
The License Board will be discussed in greater detail under Section
01-07.
01-03-08 Chocobo Ranch
----------------------------
Riding on Chocobos will allow you to prevent you from being attacked
by enemies. You can hire Chocobos from moogles (owners) of the ranch
for a certain price. Chocobo Ranch are normally located at the borders
of the towns.
When riding a Chocobo, you can use the Sprint feature up to 3 times by
pressing the X button. You will automatically dismount when the time
is up or you choose to dismount by pressing Circle button. When riding
a Chocobo, there are a few points to take note of:
o You won't be attack by enemies
o You will be able to move the area faster (the legs of Chocobo are
definitely longer than your characters)
o You cannot access any treasure chests
o You cannot enter any towns/resting places (where only Vaan appears
on the screen.
You can hitch a ride on a "Wayward Chocobo" and give it a Gysahl
Greens for a ride. Please note that the Chocobo outside the Henne
Mines does not require you a Gysahl Greens.
01-03-09 Clan Primer & Clan Rank
--------------------------------------
The Clan Primer is FFXII's equivalent of the Tutorial menu of the
previous enemies. You will be able to access it from your menu,
once Vaan visits Tomaj for the first time. The Clan Primer will get
updates as you progress in the game. As you defeated monsters, you
will get Clan Points. When you defeat a certain number of Hunts and
accumulated a certain amount of points, your Clan Rank will improve.
Make sure you visit the Clan Hall that is located in the North End.
01-03-10 Loot and Items
-------------------------------
Monsters will drop random loot (items that cannot be used for combat
but can be sold for gil) and items. In FFXII, most enemies no longer
drop gil as often as previous FF series. Loot will be dropped more
often if you engaged in chains for fighting enemies in the dungeons.
More details will be discussed in battling. Selling loot items will be
your way of earning gil. But be careful, selling loot will trigger the
effect of Bazaar Goods. Please refer to Section 10-01 for more details.
Items, on the other hand, can used for healing or attacking. These
items can be purchased from item shops that are located in towns or
via quests.
01-03-11 Shops
------------------------
In FFXII, there are a total of 6 kinds of shops and they are:
- Items Shops: These shops sell items, ammunition and accessories
- Weapons Shops: These shops sell weapon - swords, knives, axes,
bows, poles, rods, maces, measures, spears, etc.
- Armor Shops: These shops sell mainly body armor, headgears and
shields.
- Magicks Shops: These shop sell magicks scrolls (white, black,
green, arcane & time)
- Technicks Shops: These shops sells technicks scrolls
- Gambits Shops: These shops sells Gambit Targets
Buying the items alone from the shops alone are not enough as you need
to acquire the license to use them. The only things that do not need
require to a license is using Items command. However, on the License
Board, you can use augment items that allows you to boost your
character's use of items.
Like previous series, shops can sell new items as you progress into the
game. For your convenience, the walkthrough will cover the updated
shopping list as well.
01-03-12 Bazaar Goods
-----------------------------
Bazaar Goods are special items that will be sold from the shops when
you sold a certain criteria in a shop. For example, if you will sell
2 Cactus Fruit to an Item Shop. The Bazaar Good - Potions Pack will
be available in all shops that you visit (which also includes in
other towns!). For the full listing of Bazaar goods, please refer to
the item bestiary for more details.
01-03-13 Pause Menu
--------------------------
You will pause the game at any point of time except when your
characters are in middle using a Mist Quickening Combo. The pause
menu will stop your game time and it will allows you the following
options as well:
Pause Menu Options [START button]
Circle: Continue

01-05 BATTLING
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ffxii_0105
Unlike previous Final Fantasies, battling works in real time and
you will be able to move on the battle terrain similar to Kingdom
Hearts.
At the bottom of the screen, you will see your character's HP and
MP. There is a orange ATB bar which execute the selected action
once it is full.
Below are the basic battle concepts:
01-05-01 Target Lines
--------------------------
The lines will appear on the battle when you are targeting an enemy.
If you target the enemy first, the line will be blue and if you got
targeted first, the line will be red. You can made use of the right
analog stick to look around. If your character is targeted, the font
of character's name will be highlighted in red. Green colour target
lines are support magick target lines. Purple colour target lines are
opposition support magick target lines.
01-05-02 Battle Menu
------------------------
The menu will not appear once you engage in the battle. Press X once
you will be able to access a menu which allows you to select to
attack, use Magicks or Technicks or use an item.
If they are not readily apparent, use the right analog stick to look
around. When you have found them, press X to open the battle menu.
Once you've selected Attack and target a foe/enemy, close the
distance using the left analog stick. You'll automatically attack
until your foe is defeated. You can change targets or action at any
time, if your HP falls, press X and select Items from the battle
menu, then use a healing item e.g. Potion. After using an item, you
will automatically resume your previous action. There is no need for
you to input your commands again.
01-05-03 Movement
----------------------
As you will be able to move around the battlefield, movement is a
critical factor in the success of battles in FFXII. You can move to
dodge and attack enemy from behind. Please note that you need to be
close to your enemy if your character are using short-ranged weapons
like swords as they don't throw their swords to attack :)
01-05-04 Attacking
-----------------------
The basic attack command allows your character to wield his/her
weapon to attack an enemy. Below are the 4 possible scenarios could
happen when you intiate an attack:
ATTACK: Your character has hit the enemy with the weapon
BLOCK: Your character blocks the attack with his/her shield/weapon
PARRY: Your character parries the attack with his weapons.
Parrying does not occur with a character using long-range
weapons such as Guns.
MISS: Your character misses the attack.
The acquisition of augments - Shield Block lores help increase the
effectiveness of using shields. Attack will also depend on the
distance between your character and target along with the hit rate of
the weaponary. You can buy weapons from weapon shop and you must get
the required license to use them. Weather and environmental settings
have an impact on the hit rate of long-range weapons.
01-05-05 Magick and Technicks
---------------------------------
In Final Fantasy XII, magic spells are known as "Magick" while skills/
techniques are known as "Technick"
Although magicks and technicks are available for purchasing at shops,
merely purchasing one of these does not necessarily mean you can
use it. You will also need the corresponding license for the
ability purchased.
Unlike weapons and armor, purchasing one magick or technick allows
all characters in the party to use the corresponding ability
provided they have he appropriate license. You can check which
magicks and technicks you have acquiring using the Inventory menu.
You can also find out what are magicks & technicks that a character
can use by using the status screen. More details about Magick and
Technicks will be covered under their respective bestiaries.
01-05-06 Monsters
----------------------
In Final Fantasy XII, there are 4 kinds of monsters and they are:
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
| ~ Normal ~ |
|These are the normal enemies that you will encounter in Final |
|Fantasy XII. If there is more than 1 enemy in the same area, you |
|will find them named with an alphabet at the end (e.g. Wolf A, |
|Wolf B, etc). When you have killed a certain amount of them, you |
|will get access to some biography on the monster... |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
| ~ Mark ~ |
|The enemies will appear on the map after you have talk to the |
|petitioners. These monsters are very rare & are one of its kind. |
|After defeating the hunt, make sure you visit the petitioner |
|again and claim your bounty rewards for doing the Hunt. Hunt do |
|not offer experience points but they offer significantly more LP |
|than normal enemies. Libra does not work on most Marks. |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
| ~ Rare Game ~ |
|There are rare monsters in Final Fantasy XII and there are 80 |
|of them. They will appear randomnly on world map. They look like |
|the normal enemies except they have stronger stats. Once you |

|work on it. You will gain more experience points. Certain rare |
|game will only appear after you have join the Hunt Club in the |
|Phon Coast. |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
| ~ Boss ~ |
|When fighting the boss, the background music (BGM) will change |
|too. You will saw a red bar appear on the top of the screen. Once|
|the red bar is fully depleted, you have defeated the boss. You |
|will get zero EXP and only LP. |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
Enemies' life bar are normally represent by orange bars while your
party's life bars are represented by blue bars. For friendly or neutral
monsters are represented by green bars. if you do not provoke it, it
will not attack your character. Please note that non-damage inflicting
commands such as Steal can also turn a neutral monster into an enemy
monster. You can also cause a neutral monster change sides when you
attack one of its kind.
In the Clan Primer, it will contain literacy writtings on the monsters
with regards to the history of Ivalice. You will get a monster input
into the clan primer upon defeating it and get a literacy writting
when you have killed a certain amount of enemies of its kind.
You will not be able to view stats of the enemies unless you have cast
Libra technick or equip the Bangle. With Libra, you will be able to
gather more useful information on the enemy.
01-05-07 Status Ailments
---------------------------------------
Status ailments can be useful for your battles but they can pose a
serious problems if you do not remedied it early. You can also make use
of this status ailments to your advantage and use it on your enemies!

01-05-09 Libra & Traps
--------------------------
Libra is effectively the Scan technick that allows you to gather
information about the monsters and battlefields. A Libra technick cast
usually last around 10 minutes of game time and will wear off as time
lapse. You can have Libra on permanently when one of the characters is
equipped with a Bangle accessory (you need that license as well)
Libra will reveal the monster's level, current HP vs. max HP and its
elemental weakness and positive status that it has on. It will also
reveals traps in dungeons (which are marked red lines). Hence it is a
very useful spell.
To move pass traps without any trigger, it is best that you cast Float,
time magick, which allows your party members (including Guests) to
travel pass through traps.
01-05-10 Drop/Steal/Poach
-----------------------------
Most of the times, enemies will drop items/loot upon its defeat. You
will find item bags on the floor where you can pick them up by moving
your controlled character over. If you have acquired the Poach or Steal
license you can get items immediately by using these technicks via the
command menu. However this method will works only once and the success
rate are not very high unless you got equipped your character with
Thief Cuffs. The more chains you have created, the higher the chances
of loot/items being dropped from the enemies. For your convenience, the
walkthrough will includes a summary of all the monsters that you will
encounter in that area and what are the items that they will drop.
Please note that Poaching does not work on bosses, hunts and most rare
games. When an enemy is poached, you will get the item but you will not
get any experience points or license points. Poach will generally take
longer to charge.
For each method, there is a rare version of items to obtain. You have
only 1% to 5% chances of obtaining rare drop, steal or poach.
01-05-11 Chains
-------------------
You will get a chain if you defeat a monster of its same type. E.g. in
the Dalmasca Estersand, if you defeat 2 Cactities in a row, you will
get 1 Chain. If you defeat another Cactites, you will get 2 Chain.
However if you defeat a Wolf, the chain will be broken (identified on
a red cross on the chain). A chain will be broken when you exit from a
dungeon to a town (like crossing over from Dalmasca Eastersand back to
Rabanstre) or when you have touched a Save/Gate Crystal.
The longer chains you get, the better the items/loot that the enemy
will drop. At a certain point of time, you will get a Chain level up
and they will get special effects like restoring HP or casting
positive status such as Protect or Shell.
Below are some generic notes on chains:
Chains will be broken when one of the following conditions happens:
o You have killed another monster
o You have exit the dungeon and head for a new dungeon
o You have touched a Save/Gate Crystal
o Your party was wiped out by the enemy :)
Chains can be levelled up too. There are 3 levels of chain level:
o Level 0 -- Normal - item bags
o Level 1 -- Blue coins
o Level 2 -- Gold coins
o Level 3 -- Big gold coins
The levelling up of chains is completely random. According the Battle
Mechanics FAQ by Maltzsan, you can level up faster if you do not pick
any loot. Rare loot like Destrier Barding (from Leynir) can be dropped
on when you get large chains. You gain a chain level up between 6 to
10 kills, provided that you do not pick any item bags.
01-05-12 Gambits
--------------------
Gambits are special set of effects that will trigger when a certain
Gambit target conditions are being fulfilled. Each character starts
with 2 Gambit slots and you can turn them on or off in the command
screen or via the menu screen when Balthier and Fran joins your party.
However, at the beginning of the game, you will start off with a
limited range of targets. Gambit targets can be bought from Gambits
Shops or via treasure pots in dungeons. You can increase the number of
Gambit slots but obtain the license for it on the License board. More
details regarding the Gambit will be covered indepth under Section
01-06.
01-05-13 Mist Quickenings
----------------------------
Limit Breaks or Overdrives are gone and your characters no longer need
to be in crisis status (i.e. critical HP) in order to use them. There
are a total of 18 Mist Quickenings and each character can learn a
maximum of 3 Mist Quickenings. Each Quickening will cost 50 LP and they
are represented by orange orbs. These are normally found at the edge of
the license board.
Once you have acquired a License for Quickening, the other characters
on the License Board won't be able to use the slot to acquire a Mist
License. In other words, the 18 Mist Quickenings are exclusive to the
characters who have acquired the license first.
When you got a Mist Quickening, your character will be able to use it
when his/her MP is full and it will be highlighted by an orange bar.
An orange orb will appear next to the name of the character. If your
character has 2 Mist Quickenings, the MP gauge of the character will
be doubled. In other words, the faster you have acquired the Mist
Quickening, the more MP the character will have.
The animations for a Mist Quickening is flashy and you can link up if
other character has also acquired a Mist Quickening as well. By
linking them up, your characters can chain their attacks up for more
damage. More details about Mist Quickening will be discussed in Section
01-08.
01-05-14 Esper Summons
--------------------------
Once you defeat an Esper, it will appear on the License Board. Only 1
character can obtain that license. When summoning an Esper, other
characters will lead the battlefield and you will be left only when
the summoning character and the Esper. Esper are controlled by the
in-game Gambits and they can unleash a Quickening of their own when a
certain condition is made. You can dismiss the Esper at any point of
time or when the Esper's HP is being fully depleted.
01-05-15 Allies
-------------------
Ocassionally, you will see allies assisting your party to fight
enemies like the Rabanastre Watch that you will encounter while
wondering around in Dalmasca Estersand. Postive status magick such as
Cura will also help to cure the allies as well. You can attack an ally
too. Some allies won't change sides while some will...

01-06 LICENSE BOARD
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ffxii_0106
For the first time in the series, FINAL FANTASY XII moves past any
notion of classes - pre-determined sets of skills and strengths,
such as a black mage or warrior. Characters begin the story as nearly
blank slates, and it is up to the player to decide which abilities
they will learn.
As characters defeat enemies in battle, they gain License Points.
Spend these points to acquire License that enable Magicks &
Technicks, and determine which arms and armor they can equip.
Licenses are like mile posts, marking your progress as your combat
skill improve. You will need to acquire in order to use Magicks,
Technicks, equiping weapon and armor, etc
STEP 1: Select a character
STEP 2: You will be at the Licence Board
It shows which licenses you already have, as well as some new ones
waiting to be obtained. Acquired licenses are marked with a star.
The more licences you have, the more equipment you'll be able to use
and the more abilities you'll have to choose from.
For equipment, having a license alone isn't enough. You will need to
have the equipment in your inventory. Unacquired equipment will be
grayed out. You will also need to buy Magicks from a Magick Shop and
arms from a smithy before you'll be able to put those licenses to
use. It doesn't matter which you get first, magicks & equipment, or
the license to use them, so long as you have both. You can use any
Magnicks and Technicks in your possession as soon as you acquire the
necessary license. But you will have to equip weapons and armor
before they'll do you any good.
The number at the top left corner screen is your accumulated license
points. You can acquire any license that's next to one you already
have, but only if you have enough license points.
STEP 3: Select a License to acquire
Use the directional buttons to navigate the license board. Select the
license and press X to acquire it. Once you acquired a new license,
more new licenses will appear on the license board.
To obtain License Points (LP), you can obtain it by defeating enemies.
However, don't be in a hurry to spend all your points though think
about which licenses you really need or you might regret it later.

For your convenience, I have created an ASCII diagram of the entire
list of licenses that you can acquire. Due to the limitation of
width, I have managed to squeeze everything under one page.

$ ESPERS LICENSES
_____________________________________________________________________
Esper Licenses will appear on the License Board upon you defeat the
Esper itself. There are a total of 13 Espers and they are:
GU Belias ................................................ 10 LP
OF Mateus ................................................ 25 LP
BS Shemhazai ............................................. 50 LP

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
01-06-02 Acquiring a License
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
To get a License on the License Board, you need to gain License
Points. (LP) Most enemies offer 1 LP while some offers 2 LP.
Rare Games, Elementals, Entites and Bosses will offer more LP. Please
note non-participating characters (i.e. character in the reserve) will
also gain LP unlike EXP. You can double the earning of LP by equipping
a Golden Amulet (however, the character must gain the license to equip
that accessory).
After you have accumulated License Point, you can use the License menu
to obtain licenses for your characters.
Below is a simple illustration on how the License gaining process
works:
_____ Assuming you are going to gain license for LA1
| | (Light Armor 1), you will need 10 LP to gain it.
|_____|_____ Just select LA1 and press X. A prompt will
| LA1 | | appears. Pick the top option to confirm. Please
|_____|_____| note once you spent the LP, it cannot be reversed.
to...
_____ Once you have gain the license for Light Armor 1,
| LA2 | licenses for Light Armor 2 and Heavy Armor 1 will
|_____|_____ appear on the License Board. You will see a "*"
| LA1 | HA1 | appear next to the acquired license. You will see
|__*__|_____| new licenses appearing on the board after you have
gain the existing licenses.
However, gain the license alone is not enough. You can need to get the
equipment, magick or technick in order to use it. If you gain the
license, the license will still be marked with a star but you will see
the names of the technicks/magicks/equipment being grayed if you do
not have the item in your inventory. Thus it is inefficient to gain
licenses for armor that you do not own...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
01-06-03 Quickening Licenses
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As mentioned earlier, there are eighteen of them and only 1 character
can get a Quickening license at one spot. Each character can have at
most only 3 Quickenings.
Quickenings are the returning Overdrives/Limit Breaks for Final
Fantasy. They will be indicated by orange guages called "Mist Charges"
If you have 2 Quickenings, the character's MP will be doubled. If you
have 3 Quickenings, the character's MP will be tripled. As most of
the abilities are dependent on MP, get the Quickening fast. The
locations of the Quickenings are located at the ends of the board.
Once a character has acquired a Quickening, you will see the coin of
character's face appearing on the spot while other characters will not
be able to access it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
01-06-04 Esper Licenses
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Esper Licenses won't be available until you have defeated the Esper
itself. Through the main storyline, you will get 6 of the 13 Espers in
the game. Unlike Quickening Licenses, the location of the Esper
Licenses are fixed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
01-06-05 Tips on building licenses
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Go for the Quickenings first. Spread a shortest possible path to each
of the Quickenings and enjoy the advantage of having more MP due to
the Mist Chargeds.
Next, I will go for Augments, Abilities & Gambits licenses in this
order. The reason is because these will affect how much you can do in
the battle. The Augments offers a good variety of strengths such as
reducing MP cost in casting magicks, faster ATB gauges, items become
more effective and most importantly, HP lores that boost your
character's HP. Special conditions such as Warmage & Spellbreaker are
very useful on the long run. So don't skip them.
It is highly recommended to get all abilities learnt by the time you
reach the Imperial City of Archades before you head inside the Draklor
Laboratories.
Get the licenses for the equipment only after you have own the actual
equipment itself.
That's all for the licenses!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
01-07 GAMBIT SYSTEM
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ffxii_0107
. Set Gambits for a wide variety of conditions
. Automate characters using gambits
. Characters can also be controlled manually
Automate your party using customized commands call "Gambits". The
gambits equipped on each character determine how and under what
conditions they will attack, cast Magick, use Technicks, or consume
items. Each character's setup can range from basic attacks & healing
to in-depth scripting such as automatically casting Magicks based on
the enemy's weakness, or curing specific status ailments. Gambits can
be turned on or off at any time for any character. Those who prefer a
more hands-on approach to combat can issue specific commands to their
characters in the conventional manner.
For each Gambit, you can combine one action with a target for that
action. Example, you can arrange that Cure be cast on an ally whose
HP falls below 50%. Of course, one error of judgement, and you could
well find yourself throwing punches at that same ally.
You will be able to access the Gambit Menu once Balthier and Fran
joins Vaan. The Gambit screen can be access from the Party Menu. To
create a Gambit, you need only select an action and a target for that
action.
To get new Targets, you need pick up new ones from Gambit Shops. You
can also priortize the Gambits. The Gambit that is on the 1st slot
will always takes priority. You can turn the Gambit On and Off from
the Gambit Screen or the Battle Menu.
Use Gambits to guide the actions of characters in your party. You can
purchase gambit target conditions from your local Gambit Trader.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
01-07-01 Acquiring Gambit Slots
----------------------------------------------------------------------
By default, each character has 2 Gambit slots to begin with. You can
get more Gambit Slots by obtaining the Gambit Slot license on the
License Board. There are a total of 10 such licenses for you to get.

01-07-02 How Gambits Works
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, the Gambits will only take effect when you turn them on.
At the start of the game, you will have only few Gambit targets.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
01-07-02a Gambit Targets
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Gambit targets are conditions that you need to fulfil before the
Gambits will take effect. There are 3 different types of the Gambits
targets:
o Blue - Ally
o Red - Enemy
o Orange - Self
You start off with only a few sets of Gambit targets. A Gambit target
will look something like this:
Ally: HP < 50% - Target any ally with less than 50% HP
Enemy: any - Target any enemy
Self - Target self
You can get Gambit targets from treasure chests found in dungeons or
purchase them from Gambit Shops. Like magicks and technicks, you just
need to purchase 1 target in order for it to take effect.

01-07-02b Gambit Actions
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Actions are actions that will be undertaken when a Gambit condition is
fulfilled. For example:
ALLY TARGETS
--------------
G Ally: any Phoenix Down
Let's say you have setup the following Gambit. The character will use
a Phoenix Down on any ally when an ally is KO'd. This is probably the
most important Gambit that you need. This gambit will not work if you
do not have any Phoenix Downs left in your inventory
G Ally: HP <70% Cure
The character will cast Cure when any ally's HP is below 70%. This is
provided that the character has sufficient MP.
SELF TARGETS
--------------
G Self Regen
The character will cast Regen once Regen wears off. However, this is
provided that the character has sufficient MP.
G Self: MP <10% Charge
The character will use Charge once his/her MP goes below 10%.
ENEMY TARGETS
-----------------
G Foe: any Attack
The character will attacks any enemy that is within his/her sight.
This is also applies to neutral enemies such as Giza Rabbits and
Wild Saurians (!)
G Foe: status = HP Critical Poach
The character will use the Poach command when the enemy's HP is
critical. Please note the command's limitations apply here. E.g.
you cannot steal from a target for more than once and you cannot
poach on a boss.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
01-07-02c Priority of Gambits
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Notice that Gambits are arranged in a specific order? The Gambit is
on the highest spot will be placed in the utmost priority. E.g.
let's examine a Gambit Setup
Example #1
G Foe: any Attack
G Foe: status = HP Critical Poach
Your character WILL attack the enemy even though the enemy's HP status
is critical. The game will get the character to perform a action whose
Gambits that is being placed above the other. Hence the correct way
should be:
G Foe: status = HP Critcial Poach
G Foe: any Attack
In this way, the character will use the Poach command instead... Okay,
let's get on with a more difficult example.
Example #2
G Foe: any Attack
G Ally: any Phoenix Down
G Ally: status = HP Critical Hi-Potion
Let's say you are in a midst of a battle and your character will be
running low on HP. The character will carrying on attacking regardless
of HP. Like what Balthier has said earlier, it is better to priortise
healing over attacking. Thus a more sensible Gambit setup will be
something like this:
G Ally: any Phoenix Down
G Ally: status = HP Critical Hi-Potion
G Foe: any Attack
In this way, the character will stop its attacking and uses a Hi-Potion
once an ally's HP reaches critcial before resuming to attack. Likewise
if you got 2 characters down with the following statuses - a character
is KO'd and another character's HP is critical. The character will
revives the character using a Phoenix Down and uses a Hi-Potion once
the first character has been revived. Note: this presumes that you have
the items in your inventory.
Example #3
G Ally: status = Sleep Alarm Clock
G Ally: status = Confuse Smelling Salts
G Ally: status = Poison Antidote
G Ally: status = Slow Haste
This following example will show how you will eliminate a Malboro's
Cloying Breath with the assistance of 4 Gambits. But this Gambit setup
is not the best yet. This is because Confuse is the most dangerous
status ailments as compared to the 4 above. By using an Alarm Clock,
the confused character will awake and attack himself/herself or other
characters, which spells a lot of trouble. Thus by curing Confuse
first before curing Sleep will be a better alternative. Thus a better
Gambit setup will be something like this:
G Ally: status = Confuse Smelling Salts
G Ally: status = Sleep Alarm Clock
G Ally: status = Slow Haste
G Ally: status = Poison Antidote
So you know the wonders of the Gambits? However, this is provided you
have the items in your inventory and the applicable Gambit targets.

01-08 MIST QUICKENINGS
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ffxii_0108
Mist abilities are powerful, special actions that are neither magicks
nor technicks. Mist abilities can be gained by obtaining licenses.
Mist Charges are need to use Mist abilities. When a character
accumulates MP equal to his/her maximum MP, a Mist Charge is added to
his/her MP gauge. In order to use a Mist Quickening, a character must
have at least one full Mist Charge.
Quickenings are special abilities unique to each character, obtainable
with licenses. Quickenings are categorized by rank with higher rank
quickenings having a greater effect, and requiring more Mist Charges.
Using a quickening initates quickening mode, during which time
multiple quickenings can be used for a chain effect. Chaining
quickenings is an excellent way to increase damage dealt.
01-08-01 Mist Charges
---------------------------------
Each character has 3 levels of Quickening. You need to obtain Rank 1
Quickening attack before you can obtain the next rank.
o Rank 1 Quickening - requires 1 Mist Charge
o Rank 2 Quickening - requires 2 Mist Charges
o Rank 3 Quickening - requires 3 Mist Charges
01-08-02 List of Quickening Abilities
------------------------------------------
Below is the full list of Quickening Abilities. There are a total of
18 Quickenings and they are scattered all across the License Board.
For their exact locations, please refer to the License Board
Section 01-06 for more details.
Once a character has acquired a Quickening, the character will be able
to store Mist charges. However, maximum number of Mist Charges that a
character could store is only 3 as each character has only 3 ranks of
Quickenings. Upon using the Quickenings, all Mist Charges will be
used and the character may end up with zero or little MP.
An orange orb will appear next to the character's avatar in the Status
screen when you have acquired a Quickening.
Vaan Balthier Fran
o Red Spiral o Fires of War o Feral Strike
oo White Whorl oo Tides of Fate oo Whip Kick
ooo Pyroclasm ooo Element of ooo Shatterheart
Treachery
Basch Ashe Penelo
o Fulminating o Northswain's o Intercession
Darkness Glow
oo Ruin Impendent oo Heaven's Wrath oo Evanescence
ooo Flame Purge ooo Maelstorm's Bolt ooo Resplendence
01-08-03 Initiate the Quickening
--------------------------------------
First of all, you need to accumulate a Mist Charge. Once you has
accumulate 1 Mist Charge, you will see a orange glowing bar replace
on top of the character's max MP. The Mist charge will disappear
however if you use a command that requires MP.
_____________
| Attack |
| Magicks | ________________ _______________________
| Tecknicks | |Mist Abilities | |Quickening |
| Mist | > |Quickenings |> |Red Spiral o |
| Items | |Esper | |White Whorl oo |
|_____________| |________________| |Pyroclasm ooo |
|_______________________|
Quickening commands do not need time to charge (that's probably why
they build from the main word "Quick"). They are almost as fast as
you use Items via the Items command.
01-08-03 Chaining Quickening
---------------------------------
I will suggest to you to read the following paragraph before you start
to practice a Quickening. The main reason is that you *cannot* pause
the game while you have initiate the Quickening Mode.
You can chain Quickenings in the Quickening Mode only the following 2
conditions is fulfilled:
o- You need to have at least 1 Mist Charges for 3 characters
o- All characters must have acquired their Quickening abilities
Initate the Quickening and you will get into Quickening Mode. The
screen will teleport all characters and the targeted enemy will be
teleport in another dimension. The bottom half of the screen will
look something like this:
| |
| T Vaan |
| S Balthier |
| X Fran |
| |
| R2 Shuffle |-------------------Time Gauge-----| |
|_______________________________________________________|
There will be time gauge and you will be require the hit correct
buttons to start chain up the Quickening.
T (Triangle) - Top character
S (Square) - Middle character
X (Cross) - Bottom character
Let says the formation is like this: Vaan (T), Balhtier (S) & Fran
(X). Each of them has at least 1 Mist Charge. You have Vaan initate
the Mist Charge, you will see buttons (S) and (X) appear next to
Balthier and Fran respectively.
[NOTE: (T) will appears next to Vaan if Vaan has acquired licenses
for Rank 2 and above Quickening.]
Press (S) to use Balthier's Quickening or (X) to use Fran's Quickening.
You will get a chain.
Let's says you use Balthier first than followed by Fran. If you
have still have time left on the time gauge, press R2 to shuffle (the
game will randomnly shuffle the remaining MP among the 3 characters)
and you will see (T), (S) or (X) appear next to the character names
with a Mist Charge next to it. Press it to initate another chain.
The Mist Quickening will miss if you press a wrong button that is on
the screen and it will re-shuffle the Mist charge. Hence pay careful
attention. The Quickening Mode will end when the timer gauge reaches
zero or you are left without Mist Charges.
If you managed to chain more than 5 hits, you will get the following
special attacks which does an area damage to ALL enemies that are in
the screen when you attack your target!
Below is the listing of all occurences available in the game.
o Inferno
o Cytoplasm
o Windburst
o Torrent
o Whiteout
o Ark Blast
o Luminense
o Black Hole
Mist Quickening are fun to use and they are *very* strong. You can
deal 10,000 damage with level 13 characters if you managed a 6 combo
chain. The more MP your characters have, the longer the time you will
have to chain your Mist Quickening attacks! Use them for finishing
attacks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
01-09 ESPERS
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ffxii_0109
Espers are the summonsed monsters and they can be unleash only when
you have defeat them and gain them on the License Board. For the full
list of Espers and how to get them, please refer to the Esper
Bestiary. Gone were the common names of Ifrit, Shiva and Ramuh and
they are being replaced by the following names:
- Belias
- Mateus
- Shemhazai
- Hashmal
- Famfrit
- Adrammelech
- Cúchulainn
- Zalera
- Chaos
- Zeromus
- Exodus
- Ultima
- Zodiark
Like the Mist Quickenings, only 1 character can gain the License of
the Esper. Upon defeating the Esper, the Esper's license will appear
on the License Board.
Summoning an Esper initates the summoning mode, during which time the
party is reduced to the summoning character and the Esper.
Espers operate by gambit, and if certain conditions are met, may use
Esper technicks to deal massive amounts of damage to foes. Summoning
mode only lasts for a limited amount of time. Should this time run
out or should the Esper be KO'd or use a technick, the Esper will
leave and regular battle will resume. It is widely believed that
Esper technicks are especially effective at attracting the attention
of foes.
To summon an Esper, you need to use a Mist Charges. When a character
accumulates MP equal to his/her maximum MP, a Mist Charge is added
to his/her MP gauge (indicated the orange glowing bar).
Once you got this, select Summon from the Mist sub-command to summon
the Esper.
_____________________
| Attack | ________________
| Magicks & Technicks | |Mist Abilities |
| Mist | > |Quickenings |
| Items | |Esper |> e.g. Belias
|_____________________| |________________|
Once you summon an Esper, the following things will happen:
o The battle background is changed to Esper's elemental background
o The party is be left with the Esper and the summoning character
o You can control the character and character can also use his/her
Mist Quickening attack.
o The Esper will be controlled by the in-game Gambits and you cannot
modify it.
The Esper will leave the battlefield when one of the 4 following
conditions happen:
o Summoner or Esper are unable to battle (i.e. KO, Stone, Stop)
o The Esper's HP is fully depleted
o You choose to dismiss it from the summoning character's Dismiss
command
o The Esper has unleash its final Mist Attack.
Please note that you can cure the Esper with white magicks and the
same elemental magic that the Esper is. For example, Belias is a fire
Esper, you can heal with White Magick (Cure) and you can also heal
it with Fire-elemental magic as well.
More details will be covered under the Espers section.

XII_____________________________________________________________XII
[02] W a l k t h r o u g h
. _______________________________________________________________ .
Before continuing, there are some points I would like to clarify about
this walkthrough:
-------------------------
Recommended Levels
-------------------------
Different people have different recommended levels. I would pick a
level where you get comfortable situation where you don't need to dish
out a lot of items or worry about healing. i.e. I won't recommend a
level, which might put your party into danger and facing the
possibility of a gameover. If you managed to get pass the dungeon at a
lower level, congrats.
It is NOT necessary to gain high levels to complete the game. As the
game is designed in such a way that you can beat it even at mid-level
50s only. The game will get more difficulty when you intend to cover
every aspect of it.
-------------------------
Combat Notes
-------------------------
o The enemies stats may be different from the game itself. The reason
is because certain enemies such as Wild Saurian has the ability to
engulf another monster to boost its own stats. Sometimes, it is
POSSIBLE to have a Wolf of the different levels and yet have the
same HP in Dalmasca Westersands. Thus, it is not possible for a 100%
accurate stats bestiary.
o Most of the bosses' HP are unknown and cannot be scanned with Libra
as a result, most of them are based on estimation.
o Occasionally, you will encounter an enemy that cannot be scan with
Libra and has positive status on it. That is a Rare Game. More
details on the Rare Game monsters will be covered on Section 04-03.
o Most enemies will drop an item called Pebble/ Arcana with the
purchases of Monograph and Canopic Jar, which is so common that I
did not include in the monster's drop list.
o The boss strategies have been tested by me and I have always been
using a more cautious approach as my personality is not a risk taker
:). Some of the boss fights I have fought more than twice to derive
the best possible strategy.
o Having all 3 levels of Quickenings do not mean your party are
invinicble. Quickenings can deal only 100,000+ damage at most at the
expense of all the party's MP. Thus, try to avoid using them unless
you are in need to deal a serious damage.
------------------------
Treasure Chests & Loot
------------------------
o Almost all treasure chests in Final Fantasy XII are random. You can
regenerate the treasure chests when you go back to 3 screens. Monsters
will regenerate or "respawn" when you go back 2 screens.
o Opening some of the chests will lead you to miss something important
later in the game. But don't worry, as the walkthrough will provide
you with sufficient warning throughout.
o Loot are the primary source of income as most enemies do not drop
gil unlike previous Final Fantasies. Please read up the Bazaar Goods
section before continuing. It may helps you a lot. Rarer loot will
only be available when you get Thief's Cuffs along with the purchase
of the Monographs. Hence try to get the "Monographs" as soon as you
can.
o For some of the tougher dungeons (i.e. Pharos - Subterra, Henne Mines
Secret Areas and the Great Crystal), the some of the chests locations
are fixed but you may not get the treasure on your first try. Most of
them do not need Diamond Armlet to get it. In GameFAQs <http://www.
gamefaqs.com>, there are maps made by my fellow authors, which you
can use it for reference to supplment the guide.
o Diamond Armlets can be bought from the merchant found in Dalmasca
Estersand after the events at Giruvegan. Diamond Armlet allows you to
get rare treasure but you will get Knot of Rust very often or gil.
Hence, you will need to make multiple attempts. So DON'T give up. You
just need 1 Diamond Armlet and it just need to be equip on any member
of the active party members.
Some of the chests do not require a Diamond Armlet and open it with
a Diamond Armlet will cause you to lose the treasure itself. So watch
out for it.
-----------------------
Starting the game...
-----------------------
When you select New Game, you will be given access to the Config
screen. Make the necessary adjustments and select "Begin the Game" to
start your adventure.

| everything you reset a game or move 3 screens back. The pot's |
| locations are normally well-hidden (like behind rocks) and at |
| the edge of the areas. Hence, be an explorer and you will be |
| able to find them. Most of the times, you can get gil or regular|
| items (Potions) from it. But do not open any treasure pots at |
| sight. Some of them lead to better chests and some of them are |
| actually enemies in disguise... |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
Here is a rule of thumb in playing RPGs. Training is a vital part to
be successful and it really helps to make your fight easier. If you
intend to play through the game without much training, it is possible
to complete but it will be a lot of tougher.
Training will give your characters stronger stats and more abilities.
I would recommend you to get Libra (20 LP) and Cure (15 LP) and
purchase the Magicks & Technicks from the stores (you will definitely
need to sell the Loot items that you have steal/defeat from the enemies
in the desert.
Once Vaan's HP drops to red (around 24 or so), retreat immediately and
head back town and use the Save Crystal. If you can't retreat, use a
Potion. Return back to the battlefield. I was able to get both Cure &
Libra around a hour of training by killing the cactites and wolves and
at the same trying to get used to the combat system.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.1 - Rogue Tomato
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Rogue Tomato is located in a decent location and you should be able to
spot it rather easily. It is located isolated on a platform with a tree
with white & pink flowers.
_______________________________________________________________
Rogue Tomato LV2 HP: 134 Weak: Water
---------------------------------------------------------------
Attacks: Flame Breath, Ram
The tomato is not a strong enemy. Just attack it 3~4 times and
it will trigger a cutscene where it will jump off the platform
after its HP fall to 50%. Follow it and keep on attacking it.
There will be a cutscene of Vaan getting the key item -
Galbana Lilies.
Make sure you don't get too close to other enemies or you will
have to handle them as well. Of course, get away from the Wild
Saurian (large dinosaur), which won't attack you unless you
provoke it...
Steal: Pebble, Fire Stone
- 3 LP for complete first part of battle
- 3 LP for defeating it
_______________________________________________________________
When you approach near a giant dinosaur Wild Saurian, ran away from it
as it is a bit too strong for you to handle at this moment. Once you
have finished, it is time to exit.
Return back to Rabanastre's Eastgate.

Eastgate
----------
You will see that the people from Rabanastre are being locked out.
Talk to Kytes, who is in the crowd and it will trigger a cutscene
and eventually some introduction scenes to Vayne Solidor... By the
way, you will lose the key item Galbana Lilies in the process.
Vaan wants to sneak inside the palace to get back the items that
belong to the people of Dalmasca. You will need to look for Dalan, who
resides in the North Sprawl of Lowtown. Below is the simplified ASCII
map of Rabanastre.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Giza Plains
North End
-----------
Vaan will be currently situated at North End of Rabanastre
There are 2 ways that you can get to Lowtown, the slums of Rabanastre.
They are:
1) Pathway from North End - leads to Lowtown - Southern Sprawl
2) Stairway from East End - leads to Lowtown - Northern Sprawl
Before heading there, go to the building in the North End. Look for a
sign board that reads ??. Talk to Conspicious Bangaa at the door and
you will be given a prompt. Pick the top option to enter the building.
Clan Hall (Clan Centurio)
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Inside the Clan Hall, you will meet Bonsat, Morid, Kriga and Malkeroh.
Talk to everyone. Talk to Montblanc (the moogle) standing of the ledge
of the 2nd floor stairs. You will be able to make purchases from a
Clan Provisioner in Muthru Bazaar. Talk to him again and you will get
3 Potions from him. Once your rank increases, you will get more new
items from Montblanc. You will need to kill at least 2 Marks and 700
gil to achieve that next rank.
The other door leads to Yamoora's Gambits. However you can't purchase
anything from Yamoora at the moment.
Exit the area. It is highly recommended to do some exploring as it
allows you to get familar to the town. Head south and you will reach
the Muthru Bazaar.
Muthru Bazaar
---------------
You will find a lot of Seeqs and Bangaas in this area. It is like a
fleet market in Rabanstre. One of them is the Clan Provisioner where
you can purchase from him
** Shop List **
Clan Provisioner *
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Potion 70 gil
NOTE: You won't be able to buy any items from the Clan provisioner
if you did not talk to Montblanc inside the Clan Hall. The
items that the clan provisioner will depends on your Clan
Rank. For more details, refer to the bestiary for more details.
If you are observant, this is the area where Vaan pickpocketed the
wallets of one of Imperial Guards earlier. Head east and you will get
back to the East End...
East End
------------
Make your way back to the Sandsea.
Sandsea
~-~-~-~-~
Talk to Tomaj, who will be at the counter where you find the barkeep.
Talk to him and you will be able to claim your bouty for the Rogue
Tomato - 300 gil, Potion x2 and a Teleport Stone.
Check out the Notice Board and you will find a new job posted on
the board - Thextera (Mutant Wolf). You will need to look for Gatsly
who can be found in Sandsea. Choose "Yes" (top option) when the
screen prompts you whether you want to look for Gatsly. He is sitting
against the wall where you find the Notice Board.
Talk to him and pick the top option to accept the hunt. The monster
can be found at the Westersand - Galtea Downs. At the moment, your
party will be a bit too weak to conduct the hunt and you have Vaan
only as your only playable character. Hence, ignore that hunt for the
time being.
o-------------------------------------------------------------------o
| Earning Gil |
o-------------------------------------------------------------------o
|If you have read the traveler's tips inside the Clan Primer, you |
|will come to know that monsters seldom drop money (gil). To earn |
|gil, you need to sell Loot (the Cactus Fruit, Fire Stone, Water |
|Stone etc.) that you steal or obtain from beating the monsters in |
|the dungeons (such as Eastersand, Giza Plains etc). Selling them |
|will get you gil and they will have a dual effect. You will be |
|able to purchase Bazaar Goods, which allows you to get items in |
|a discount price. Hence, sell them and you can get cheap discounts |
|and valuable stuff! Please refer to the Bazaar Goods for the |
|formulas. |
o-------------------------------------------------------------------o
Exit from the bar and you will need to make some purchases. Get the
Libra Technick from the Tecknick Shop (500 gil) along with all Magick
spells (200 gil x4) from Magick Shop. Purchase the weapons if you got
additional gil. Getting the spells should be your priority. You will
need these spells for your upcoming adventure.
Once you got the Magicks and Libra Technick, proceed to the Stairway
to Lowtown, which is located north from Panamis's Protectives.
Lowtown - North Sprawl
-------------------------
This place is an underground town of Rabanastre where you will find
more Bangaa and Seeqs. Hume are seen less often here compared that you
have seen in the city.
Your objective is to find Dalan who resides in the South Sprawl. There
are not many attractions in North Sprawl as you can find a lot of kids
there. Around the town, you will find treasure chests, which will
regenerate everytime you reset the game (or load from a saved file).
Most of the time, you will get little gil.
There is a private residence, which you are unable to access to it
for the time being. In middle of the north area, you will meet Kytes
where you can access to Storehouse No.5 (which we will be re-visiting
it later). Next to her there is a travelling merchant.
** Shop List **
[Travelling Merchant]
Potion 70 gil
Antidote 50 gil
Head south until you reach the one of the exits that lead to the South
Sprawl. Press SELECT to activate the map to assist you.
Lowtown - Southern Sprawl
---------------------------
There is a treasure chest located at extreme top left corner. Examine
it for some more gil or items. In the trading circle in the middle of
the area, you will find another travelling merchant.
[Travelling Merchant]
Potion 70 gil
Eye Drops 50 gil
Head south until you reach a residence that says "Old Dalan's Place".
Enter the building. Vaan will have a conversation with Dalan and you
will come to know about a Magick Stone - Crescent Stone. However you
need to get the Sunstone, which can obtained from Nomad Village,
which is situated in the south off Giza Plains. Exit the house.
o-------------------------------------------------------------------o
| Chest near Old Dalan's House |
| Examine this screen carefully. There is another treasure pot |
| lying near the crates. Do NOT open it if you want to get the |
| game's strongest weapon. |
o-------------------------------------------------------------------o
Head east and examine the large Southgate which you will lead to the
Southgate area of the upper town.
Southgate
----------
At the southgate, you will find an orange glowing crystal that looks
similar to the Save Crystal. That is the Rabanastre Crystal or I called
it the Gate Crystal. It will allows you to save and teleport.
Teleport features will work only if you have visited 2 or more teleport
cyrstals. To teleport, you need to use the Teleport Stones. If you have
loads of gil, you can talk to Gurdy (moogle) at the Chocobo Ranch to
hire a Chocobo for 500 gil.
Save your game and make the necessary preparations to head south into
the Giza Plains... (by foot)

among the 2 monsters. The Giza Rabbit won't attack unless you provoke
them.
Nomad Village
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
In the village, you will meet up with Nomads. Talk to everyone there.
Eventually, you will meet up Masyua who tells you that you need to
look for a missing boy called Jinn. This will lead to a cutscene where
Vaan meet Penelo. Penelo will join you! Talk to the little girl -
Camina and you will get more hints where Jinn could be. Penelo has
around 83 LP. Get her to learn Black Magick 1, Accessories 1, Steal,

| Combat Tip from the Author |
o------------------------------------------------------------------o
|With an additional party, you will have more controls to deal but |
|it also means your attacking power has greatly improved as well. |
|For every enemy kill, the experience points will distributed |
|evenly among the 2 friends. LP will be still awarded to both. The |
|character will gain the full experience points if the other |
|character did not damage or make contact with target enemy at all.|
|For those who want to save trouble, make use of the Gambit System.|
|To switch attacks between Vaan and Penelo, you need to make use of|
|D-Pad. Make sure you watch out for both player's HP as you have |
|only 2 Phoenix Downs in your inventory. Thus, cure when necessary.|
o------------------------------------------------------------------o
If you buy the map, the entire area of Giza Plains will given. Below
is the ASCII diagram for it.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Giza Plains
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
To Rabanastre
|
Warrior's Wash ___ Throne Road _____ Gizas North
| (DC) | _____ Bank (DC)
| ___ Nomad Village |
Toam Hills [SC] |
| |
Starfall Crystal Gizas South
Field (DC) ----- Glade ------ Bank [DC]
[SC]
[SC] Save Crystal [DC] Dark Crystal
Your objective is to reach Crystal Glade, which is directly south off
the Nomad Village. In the Toam Hills, Starfall Field and Gizas South
Bank, you will encounter 4 new beasts:
Alpha Hyena
- It found in a group of Hyena. Kill this first as it is a stronger
version of the Hyena. As the saying goes, go for the leader first.
Urstix
- A big bird that has Protect auto-cast on it. Use magical attacks -
Thunder works quite well. Then attack it and you will have no
problem
Slaven
- A giant foot monster. Does around 20+ HP with its stomp and charge.
Attack from far with Magicks first, use the targeted character to
run away, while the other to attack it
Werewolf
- A wolf-man holding an Axe. One word of advice: RUN! Do not attack it
unless you have acquire Mist Quickenings for Vaan and Penelo.
Crystal Glade
~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Once you reach the Crystal Glade area, you will find a Save Crystal
and a boy lying near it. Talk to the boy and you will give the
following 2 prompts:
o Explain the situation <-
o Leave
You will get a Shadestone, a device that can use to absorb energy from
the Dark Crystals (glowing gigantic crystals). Your objective is to
absorb the energy till the gauge is filled to 100%. If you have bought
the map earlier, Jinn will mark the locations of the 4 Dark Crystals,
which I have also marked [DC] on the ASCII map.
Starfall Fields (1st Crystal)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Werewolf x2, Sleipnir, Giza Rabbit, Hyena
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Go back to the Southwest area (Starfall Fields). Examine the Dark
Crystal and the following prompt will appear:
The Dark Crystals radiates brilliant light
o Hold the Shadestone up to the Crystal <-
o Do Nothing
Choose the top option and the gauge will start to fill. Avoid heading
towards the southwest area of this region as there you will find
Werewolves lurking around (each got 2000 HP, which maybe a bit too
strong for your party currently). Head north.
Warrior's Wash (2nd Crystal)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Giza Rabbit, Hyena, Urstix, Slaven, Alpha Hyena
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Head north from the Toam Hills and you will reach the Warrior's Wash
where you will be able to locate the 2nd crystal. Return to Nomad
Village if you are in need of healing. Examine the crystal and choose
the top option to absorb energy from it.
Giza North Banks (3rd Crystal)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Hyena, Slaven, Urstix, Giza Rabbit
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Move across the Throne Road area and you will eventually end up on
the Gizas North Bank. Examine the Dark Crystal. Pick the top option
to absorb energy from it. Head west to Nomad Village if you are in
need of healing. Head south to search for last crystal.
Giza South Banks (4th Crystal)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Hyena, Slaven, Urstix, Giza Rabbit
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The last crystal is located near the edge of the north exit. Examine
and pick the top option to have a 100% Shadestone. Upon completing
all the task, the Shadestone will become the Sunstone. There will be
some scenes where Vaan, Penelo along with Jinn returns back to the
Nomad Village. Vaan will get his Sunstone along with 50 gil, 2x
Potion and 2x Teleport Stone. You may want to do some shopping...
Now you need to head back to Rabanastre. Exit the Nomad Village via
the Throne Road (north route). Head further north and you will reach
Southgate of Rabanastre. Remove Penelo's equipment.

Go inside Dalan's House. Talk to him and eventually Vaan will exchange
the Sunstone for the Crescent Stone.
There are some important speeches from Old Dalan:
"The signet yearns for Sunstone's strength to light the clouded way"
You need to go to Storehouse Five (the place where Vaan previously
do his rat hunting). You need to go through the left door. Exit the
house and there will be some cutscenes...
Before heading to the North Sprawl to meet Kytes, I would recommend
you to visit the shops in Rabanastre as they will be selling new
items. Get a couple of Phoenix Downs. Get the all Magicks as it will
be pretty useful spell once you are in the waterway. Please note that
water conducts electricity and fire is strong against water-based
monsters.

There will be a save crystal. There are 2 paths. The path on the right
leads to Channel 10 while the path on the left leads to the Northern
Sluiceway. Take the right path first.
Channel 10
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Dire Rat

Northern Sluiceway
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Dire Rat, Steeling
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your objective is to head northwest and you will encounter new enemy
- Steeling, a bat enemy. Please note that the rats have a tendency of
attacking each other and some rats can have more HP than others but
you have no problem in handling since your levels should be higher
when you first fought them. Head for the exit that located in the
northeast corner of the area.
North Spur Sluiceway
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Dire Rat, Steeling, Ichthon
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It will be a straight path and you will encounter another new enemy
Ichthon, which won't attack you unless you attack. But they are weak
against Lightning. They offer some decent items and experience points.
So kill them with Thunder Magicks. Continue to head north. Make your
way up the stairs and there will be a prompt. Pick the top option
twice to proceed. There will be some chances that you might encounter
the rare game - Razorfin.
There will be some scenes...

Enemies: Dire Rat, Steeling, Gigantoad
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Along the winding path, you will encounter a new enemy - Gigantoad
which is weak against Fire. Have your party cast Fire and it will
be down in a turn. It can be quite dangerous if you don't handle it
fast. Continue to head south till you reach the East Sluice Control.
East Sluice Control
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Imperial Soldier x4
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a Save Crystal here. Examine it to restore your party's
HP/MP. Go down the stairs and there will be a cutscene and you
will need to fight...
_______________________________________________________________
Imperial Soldier D LV5 HP: 190
Imperial Soldier A LV5 HP: 210
Imperial Soldier C LV5 HP: 180
Imperial Soldier B LV5 HP: 170 (Protect)
---------------------------------------------------------------
You can steal Potions from them. They are quite easy to handle
and you will have Amalia assiting you. Just attack one enemy
and the others will follow if you use the default Gambits. Each
Soldier will give you 2 LP.
_______________________________________________________________
After the battle is over, you will have a chat with Amalia. Now move
towards Amalia again and there will be some more scenes. She will join
as a Guest Character. She has Libra ability as she is equipped with
the Bangle. Set up the following Gambits:
o Foe: nearest visible -> Fire or
o Foe: party leader's target -> Fire
Southern Sluiceway
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Flan x4 (event only)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Make your way to the middle of the area and your party will be
embushed by 4 Flans!
_______________________________________________________________
Flan A LV5 HP: 420 Weak vs Fire
Flan C LV5 HP: 390 Weak vs Fire
Flan D LV5 HP: 420 Weak vs Fire
Flan B LV5 HP: 360 Weak vs Fire
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Flans are weak against Fire. Just have your characters cast
Fire to end this battle fast. Attacks don't work well against
them. Each Flan will give you 2 LP each upon its defeat. They
can cast Cure, Blind and perform a Slap attack.
BTW, You will also get your first battle victory dance!
Steal: Potion, Caramel (rare)
_______________________________________________________________
If your party members are critical condition/under Blind status and
you are running of MP to cast Cure/ Blindna or Potions/ Eye Drops,
return back to East Sluice Control and use the Save Crystal to
recover lost HP/MP. Switch your gambits back to your previous
settings.
West Sluice Control
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Steeling, Garchimacera, Ghost
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The battles will start to get tougher and you will face more new
enemies like the Garchimacera and Ghost. They are quite strong and
make sure every character has acquired the spells like Cure and
Poisona (you will need for the upcoming boss fight). The battles are
tough and don't be surprised if your party are struggling. The Ghost
has a tendency of teleporting itself and you can attack it with Cure
spells. But use Gambits setup such as "Foe: party leader's target"
will be good enough for the time being.
No. 10 Channel
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Steeling, Gigatoad, Ghost, Garchimacera
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Like the previous areas, you will fight more strong enemies and they
come in groups. Don't get your party get scattered too far or you will
have problems in defeating the enemies. Along the pathway, you will
find a sleeping Gigatoad. Have the whole party to cast Fire to avoid
being getting attacked by the enemy first. Along the upper pathway,
you will encounter groups of Garchimacera. Focus one enemy by one
enemy and you will take them down in no time. Cast Cure or use a
Potion when an ally's HP gets critical.
Central Water Control
-----------------------
Here is an area where you can take a breather. Move along the winding
path. There is a Save Crystal and save your game. Before you examine
the door and open it, make sure your party has the following:
o------------------------------------------------------------------o
| Checklist |
o------------------------------------------------------------------o
| o Everyone is at least at LV 7 |
| o Every character has Cure |
| o Every character is able to use Poisona or you have at least 5 |
| Antidotes |
| o One character has Time Magic - Slow |
| o Defeat the required number of Garchimacera & Ghost |
| (NOTE: A soft reset will allow you kill the required monsters |
| a bit more faster. Please refer to Basics section for details.)|
| o At least 2x Dark Stones, 1x Bat Fang & 2x Rat Pelt |
| (Dark Stones are dropped from Ghost, Bat Fang dropped from |
| Steeling and Rat Pelt dropped from Dire Rats) |
o------------------------------------------------------------------o
There are 4 Rusted Devices and they are of no use for the time being.
Ignore. Make your necessary preparations and examine the gate to
continue.
Overflow Cloca
-----------------
You will be embushed by a bush of fire, which will reveal a creature
that is on flames and it will be a boss fight. Be prepared for a long
battle...
Set the following Gambits -
o Ally: HP <70% -> Cure
o Foe: party's leader target -> Attack
_______________________________________________________________
Firemane LV7 HP: 3571 Weak vs Water
---------------------------------------------------------------
Attacks: Rush, Bush Fire, Teleport, Fire, Kick
Start off by casting Slow reduce the speed of the boss.
The boss looks like a horse that is engulfed in fire and is
weak against Water. It has the following attacks - Kick, Bush
Fire, Teleport. The most dangerous attack Bush Fire and it can
deal around 60 to 80 HP damage to all allies and sometimes
causes Poison. Just cure when an ally's HP get below 100HP. Use
Poisona to remove Poison if they got poisoned by the boss' Bush
Fire attack. Amalia has a tendency to use Potions when your HP
is critical.
Keep your character's HP above 100 and you will be fine.
It is going to be very long battle. So keep up the endurance.
LP: 3
Steal: Grimoire Togail (rare), Potion

Once the battle is over, Vaan and co will be held captive by the
Imperial Guards. After the scenes are over, Vaan brought to the

Stockade
----------
All your equipment are gone but you stil retain the abilities that you
have acquired through the License Board. You will find prisoners and
they are given numbers as their name. There is a Save Crystal in the
northern part of the area. Use it to save your game (you don't want to
fight the boss again right?). The 4 treasure pots in here contain a
Knot of Rust each. Talk to one of Hume (No. 823) and he will give a
prompt whether is there hope. Be optimistic and choose the top option.
Exit the Stockade after going pass the Save Crystal.
Arena
---------
There will be some scenes and Balthier will eventually rejoins Vaan
(by the way, he also has no equipment) and you will need to battle the
3 Seeqs.
_______________________________________________________________
Galeedo LV 6 HP: 158 Weak vs Fire
Daguza LV 8 HP: 232 Weak vs Fire Protect
Gwitch LV 7 HP: 142 Weak vs Fire
---------------------------------------------------------------
All Seeqs are weak against Fire. Galeedo is orange Seeq, Gwitch
is the gray Seeq and Daguza is the grayish-blue Seeq. Use Fire
and you will be able to roast them apart. Defeat them and you
will earn you 2 LP each.
Steal: Potion (Daguza), 5 gil (Galeedo), Potion (Gwitch)
_______________________________________________________________
The Confiscatory
-------------------
This followed by a few more scenes and Fran will rejoin the party.
In the next screen, move further forward and you will recover your
items and equipment along the Map of Nalbina Dungeons. There are
some treasure pots. Do NOT touch them or you miss out the strongest
weapon in the game. Just in case, you don't bother to read the message
above...
o-------------------------------------------------------------------o
| Examine this screen carefully. There are 2 treasure pots in the |
| area. Do NOT open it if you want to get the game's strongest |
| weapon. |
o-------------------------------------------------------------------o
The Black Watch
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Imperial Swordsman, Imperial Hoptile, Imperial Magus,
Imperial Marksman
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be some more scenes. Vaan suggest you to go to the top
floor sneaky. Beware the Imperial guards are tough. The Swordmen are
normal type of imperial guard. The Magus can cast magic spells such as
Fire. Marksman is armed with guns. Hoptile wields a katana and has the
ability to cast protect on itself. Focus on attacking the Magus and
Marksman, they deal more damage than other types. Cast Protect on your
characters before you start to move around. It is better to go up the
stairs than sneaking through the middle...
Your objective is to go in the room that is middle. Once you are near
it, it will trigger a cutscene. In my opinion, it is your best
interest that you finish defeat all the Imperial guards so that you get
all the License points you needed.
Get inside the room that the judge has unsealed and you will meet Basch
who held imprisoned by the Imperial & following some scenes...

Lightworks
-----------
You will ended up in the Lightworks of Barheim Passage. Basch will
join you as Guest. Search the area in the northeast area for chests
and you will get a lot of gil. There is another Save Crystal here.
Go down the stairs and talk to Burrough and he will sell you some

Make sure you do a shopping spree. I would strongly recommend you to
buy the equipment unless you have obtained the license), if you have a
lot of gil, get the Steel Gorget (the equipped character will deal
more damage if his/her HP is critical). Make sure you have Blizzard
Magick as it will come handy for the upcoming battle.
Now go up the stairs and examine the Timeworn Device at the tower.
Pick the top option. If you move Vaan close to it, you will see a
Power Relay appears on the option instead. Now go and talk to Burrough
and he will give you a Tube Fuse. Return back to the tower and examine
the Power Relay. Pick the top option to install it.
Examine the Gate Switchboard on the left wall where Burrough sits.
Choose to activate it and you will be left with 70% of the power.
Activating the gates requires you to use the power. Hence, take note of
it. Go through the door. Below is an ASCII map of the area

Enemies: Battery Mimic, Tiny Mimic, Zombie
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will see the energy level drop to 30% and you will face Mimics,
which will suck out the power. Defeat the Battery Mimic and Zombie
in that area to restore the energy back to 50%. Move out of that
area and head down the stairs and there is another Battery Mimic
sucking out the energy. Have 2 characters to attack with Blizzard,
the other character handle the surrounding area. Cure with Potions
if your character's HP run low. Battery Mimics give you 2 LP unlike
normal enemies. Exit to the next area.
Great Eastern Passage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Battery Mimic, Steeling, Tiny Mimic
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In front of you, there is another Battery Mimic sucking the energy.
Have all 3 characters to cast Blizzard to freeze it apart. Now move
the railroad and you will find the path split into branches. The
right branch you will saw another Battery Mimic sucking energy. Do
the same for the previous one for an easy kill. Move to the left
path and head north. The path will split into 2 branches. Take the
left path and head to the dead end to kill that Battery Mimic. Now
return back to the split-off point. Take the path on the right until
you will find another split-off. The path heading north and it will
leads an Urn contain the map of the Barheim Passage. Grab it. It
will be extremely useful. Now continue to head south and you will
reach a train station. It will be your best interest to kill off
any Battery Mimics that are within your sight as they could
potentially suck off the energy.
There are 2 paths. Take the one of the left, which will leads to Op.
Sector 36.
Op Sector 36
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Battery Mimic, Tiny Mimic
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On the right of the screen, there will be another Battery Mimic
having its meal. Sent it to the freezer with your Blizzard Magicks.
Go down the stairs and you will find another Battery Mimic
accompanied by some Tiny Mimic. Destroy the Tiny Mimics first and
freeze the battery mimic. Go up the stairs and return back to the
Great Eastern Passage. Take the other path.
Special Op Sector 3
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Battery Mimic, Flan, Bomb
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find another Battery Mimic. Defeat it fast. The massive gate
at the south is current block and you will need to find a lever like
one at the first area. Proceed to the left area. You will encounter
Flans, the enemies that you have faced earlier. Cast Fire to roast
them. You will also fight Bomb in this area, which absorbs Fire and
weak against Water. Blizzard is a good alternative to cure. Make sure
have someone tending the ever rushing Basch... or you may find you
wasting Phoenix Downs...
Op Sector 37
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Battery Mimic, Flan
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find another Battery Mimic near the entrance and the other
one at the southern most area of this area. At the northeast corner,
you will find the Gate Switchboard. Examine and pick the top option
to activate the gate at Special Op Sector 3. Please note that you
need at least 30% of the energy in order to open the gate. Now
make your way back to the place where you find the massive gate.
It should be a clear path. There will be some scenes between Basch
and Vaan and what has happen to Reks....
North-South Junction
----------------------
Finally there is a place where you can take a breather. There is a
Save Crystal. Use it (it took you quite some time to reach here
right?). Basch will get some equipment and he will be stronger...
Make your preparations and head south.
Great Central Passage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Mimic, Battery Mimic
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a Battery Mimic draining energy at the top right corner of
screen. Destroy that first.
Beware when you examine the treasure chests here, as some of them
are actually Mimics in disguise. Once you saw an orange life gauge
appear after you examine the treasure chest, that is a Mimic. They
can use Leech which use to suck HP from your characters. So watch
out. Head further south...
Zeviah Subtterrane
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Battery Mimic, Tiny Mimic, Suriander, Skeleton, Skull
Defender
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find 2 more Battery Mimics here. There is a Suriander at
edge of the area. It is also weak against Ice. So cast Blizzard to
sent it to the freezer... Once you are in the rocky region, there
is another split-off point.
At the path heading towards the southwest area of map, leads to an
area, which can be accessible but the walk path has been covered
with water. You will find 2 Surianders there along with a treasure
pot.
The path heading northeast leads to the last Battery Mimic but you
will need to fight Skeletons there (which are tough as they can
cast Poison and Blizzard).
Terminus No.4 Adjunct
------------------------
There is another Save Crystal. Save your game before you proceed to
the next area.
Terminus No. 4
------------------
There will be a cutscene. You will fight a boss...
_______________________________________________________________
Mimic Queen LV 10 HP: 4073 Weak vs Ice

Tiny Battery B LV 6 HP: 120 Weak vs Ice
Tiny Battery C LV 6 HP: 120 Weak vs Ice
Tiny Battery D LV 6 HP: 120 Weak vs Ice
---------------------------------------------------------------
Attacks: Thunder, Breath of Life, Spawn, Shock Storm, Ground
Shaker
The Boss and its groupies are weak against Ice. Focus on the
main boss and attack it with Blizzard. Basch offers a great deal
of help here. So cure him when his HP is low or you have to
waste a Phoenix Down. Do not use Thunder as it will cure the
boss.
The boss will use 2 main attacks - Thunder and Breath of Life
for the 1st half of the battle. It will use Spawn once you have
eliminate 2 of its groupies. When it's HP is below 50%, it will
use the Shock Storm which does around 150HP to all characters.
Once it is HP is below 500, it will use the Ground Shaker which
does around 70+ HP damage to all characters. So watch out.
You will need to defeat the boss before all the energy is
sucked out. Or it will be a game over... You will get 5 LP
upon defeating the boss.
Steal: Knot of Rust
LP: 5
_______________________________________________________________
Once the battle is over, the party will end at the Dalmasca Estersand.

Passage Enterance
-------------------
You are now at the passage entrance of Barheim Passage. There is a
Save Crystal. Make sure you use it to restore lost HP/MP. Exit the
area. Below is an ASCII map of the region

Sand Swept-Maze
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Wolf, Cockatrice, Alpha Wolf, Nekbet*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your objective is to make your way back to the Rabanastre. You got 3
choices of getting back:
1) Go through the Plains all the way through The Stepping
2) Go to South Bank Village and use the Gate Crystal to teleport to
Rabanastre
3) Go to Nalbina Fortess and use the Gate Crystal to teleport to
Rabanastre.
In my opinion, it will be your best interest to explore the area as
you get the chance to purchase better equipment, magicks, technicks
and weapons and earn License points to master new skills.
If you happen to encounter a Rare Game such as Nekbet (Libra is unable
to detech its HP), be prepared for a tough battle. These enemy looks
like the normal enemy but they are stronger and got more spells. Hence
watch out...
Head north from here to get Banks Nebra.
Banks of Nebra
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Wolf, Cockatrice, Cactoid, Ichthon, Greeden*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, the South Bank Village is north from here. The Ichthons can be
encountered along the river banks in the north and they are weak
against Thunder. If you fight the battles at the shores for quite a
while, you may end up fighting the rare game - Greeden (HP: ~7000).
Do not fight it as it will be really tough for you at your current
levels.
Go inside the village.
South Bank Village
-----------------------
First of all, locate the village chief's house. You will find a
moogle behind the house. Talk to the moogole (Cartographer's Guild)
to buy the map of Estersand for 50 gil. There is an Accessories
shop by talking to Unlucky Merchant.
Unlucky Merchant

Armguard 800 gil Eye Drops 50 gil

Gauntlets 1200 gil Echo Herbs 50 gil
Battle Harness 1000 gil
You are unable to access the North Bank Village at this point of
time as there is no ferry. Now return back to the Banks of Nebra.
Make your way southwest and head back to the Sand Swept-Maze. The
southeast route leads to Murmuring Defile, which you will be
visiting it later.
From the Sand-swept maze, head further south to Yardang Labyrinth.
Yardang Labyrinth
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Wolf, Cockatrice, Cactite, Cactoid, Rabanastre Watch',
Ripe Rampager*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ocassionally, you will encounter an ally - Rabanastre Watch assist
you in attacking the monsters. There are 3 exits here. The east
one will lead to Nalbina Fortess, the southeast exit leads to
Giza Plains and the southwest exit leads to the Outpost, which you
should be heading there. But first of all, drop a visit at the
Nalbina Fortess

West Barbican
--------------
You will meet Gurdy the moogle here and you will be hire a Chocobo
for 800 gil. There is a Gate Crystal where you can save or use it
to teleport to Rabanastre. The item merchant is located at the
entrance way to Mosphoran Highwaste which you will be visiting it
later.
Jajim Bazaar
--------------
Get all the Gambits. You will find them extremely useful. If you do
your regular shopping for Magicks, the only new Magick is Poison -
a useful green Magick for fighting long battles. The Technick Poach
is a bit too expensive at the moment. Wait till you have made
sufficient savings. (PS: You don't want Vaan to go bankrupt right? :)
West Ward
-----------
You will find the Weapon Shop and Armor Shop. Talk to the vendors and
purchase the new equipment. I would recommend you to give the leader
the strongest defensive armor as he/she will normally be the one to
lure the enemy and initate the attack therefore will definitely be
targeted first by the enemy.
Once you are done with your preparations, it is time to head for the
Outpost... At the entrance leading to the Outpost, there is a small
patch of field where you fight Cactoids, occasionally you may fight a
rare game - Ripe Rampager (HP: ~400)
Outpost
----------
You will find 3 "Mysterious Glints" (shiny object on the floor) and
that is gil. There is a couple of treasure chest here. If you talk
to the energetic child, you will allow you to stay in the inn for
100 gil. You will also find Dantro here.
The Stepping
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Wolf, Cockatrice, Cactite, Wild Saurian
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now exit via the path heading south and you will be back at the area
where you find Rogue Tomato. You will find a giant T-Rex (which has
a whopping 6000 HP). It will be your best interest not interfere with
it at this moment since it has a neutral status. Best to dodge away
from it... If you stay there, you can watch the Wild Saurian devouring
the wolves...

Make your way to the Dalmasca Estersand. Go down the pathway to head

---------------------------------------------------------------
Attacks: Ram, 1000 Needles
The battle will be easier if you have at least 2 of the
characters with 1 Quickenings learnt (aka. Limit Breaks for
FFXII).
If you don't have it, do the following:
- Cast Disable (similar to Final Fantasy Tactic's Don't Act)
spell to prevent it from attacking or using 1000 Needles.
- Immobilize also works on it.
- Has the 2nd character cast Slow on it.
Have the whole gang to attack it. With Immboilize effect on
it, it won't be able to use its deadly attack - 1000 Needles
will do an automatic 1000 HP damage to one character, which is
instant KO for your current levels. The Cactoid has a high
tendency of running away. So don't let it go... or your
previous efforts will be wasted!
LP: 2

pick the top option to accept the Hunt.
Set the following gambit first on every member.

3. Once a character has been infected with a Doom, a counter
will start appearing on the top of the character's head. Since
there is nothing to do with it, just keep on attack the enemy!
The boss will cast Blind and Dark - arcane magick.
As the boss is very dangerous, it is highly recommended to
unleash your character's Mist Quickening on the boss. Don't be
surpised to see if the boss is still standing... Use a Phoenix
Down once a character is down. If you are left with only 1
character, access the menu and use Party option to switch the
last character to battle it. You can switch only if the
character is not targeted though.
LP: 5
Steal: Glass Jewel, Dark Magicite
_______________________________________________________________
Once you defeat the boss, examine the gate and use the Save Crystal.
You will find a yellow glowing spot on the ground. More details will
be covered later. For the time being, do not visit the Garamsythe
Waterway as tougher enemies has spawn in that area. Check your Rank and
it has been raised to Rear Guard.
Now return back to the Private Residence where you find Milha. Talk to
her and there will be some scenes. You will get 500 gil, 1x Ether and
1x Gauntlets. From this point onwards, you will be able to visit Deeg
in his house.
Visit Montblanc at the Clan Hall. Talk to him and you will get 2x
Remedy and 2x Teleport Stone. If you visit the Clan Provisioner at
Muthru Bazaar, you will be able to buy Gyashl Greens for 108 gil
each. Now head for Southgate and make your way to Giza Plains.

Make your your way to the Nomad Village. Talk to Dania, who is
standing in the middle of Cockatrice farm. Talk to her and accept the
hunt by selecting the top option. Now you will need to hunt for
Cluckatrice which roams at Giza North Banks. The Giza North Banks can
be accessed via the southeast exit from the village. However, there
are some special conditions that will lead to the appearance of this
special hunt monster. Talk to Terra (girl standing at the fences of
the farm) and she will tell you that the Cluckatrice won't appear in
front of enemies...
Giza North Banks
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Hyena, Slaven, Urstix, Giza Rabbit
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, kill all the monsters that you found here. You should
have no difficulty considering you should have gained a lot of LP
and experience points. Once you finish clearing the map, return it &
you will find the Cluckatrice there...
________________________________________________________________
Cluckatrice LV? HP: ????? (~7600 HP)
Chickatrice A LV? HP: ????? (~3100 HP)
Chickatrice B LV? HP: ????? (~3100 HP)
Chickatrice C LV? HP: ????? (~3100 HP)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Attacks: Poke, Mucus (causes Slow & Blind), Counter
Notes: Protect, Haste
The Cluckatrice is the white hen and has auto-protect being
cast on it. The Chickatrice is the yellow chick. You will need
to eliminate all birds (or hens) to finish the Hunt. Start to
gather all the hens together before you attempt to unleash your
Mist attack. If you have use up all HP/MP, switch to the stand-
by character and have that character continue the Mist chain.
Focus your Mist attacks primarily on Cluckatrice before you
finished off the Chickatrice. If there is another Chickatrice
rooming on the area, go to one side of the area and run around
an area, till you have restore sufficient MP to go for another
Mist attack. If you have to force to fight it, use Potions to
support healing. The average attack of Chickatrice are pretty
weak. I have managed to defeat these group with only Level 14
characters... BTW, the Cluckatrice and Chickatrice's attack
will do between 50~80 HP per attack.
Steal: Potion, Small Feather
LP: 6 LP (Cluckatrice), 3 LP (Chickatrice x3)
_______________________________________________________________
Talk to Dania and you will be able to collect your bounty for the
kill - 1000 gil, Jackboots x1 and Rainbow Egg x1. That's all for the
hunts!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Quickenings - Defeat the Werewolves!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Werewolf
---------
Werewolves roam in pairs and each carries a mean axe. They are great
attackers and has around 2000 HP each. First of all, make use of the
Save Crystal at Crystal Glade. Have all characters with Quickening
Rank 1 acquired and use your Mist combos (use all MP). Go back to
Crystal Glade and use the Save Crystal to restore the lost HP/MP.
Return back Starfall Fields to attack the remaining Werewolf with
another Mist combo. Seize this opportunity to familiarize yourself
with Mist Combo system. For more details, please refer to Basics
Section. By the way, the Mist Combo can deal 7000 ~ 9000 HP at this
point of time if you managed to learn it well...
Once you are done with this task, go to the next section and continue
with the story.

Rare Game:
Aerieel (41)
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| TRAPS |
| There are a lot of traps within the mines. You will be unable |
| to detect them unless your character is with Libra status. As |
| Libra does not last forever, it will be better to equip one of |
| the characters with the Bangle so that you will be able to |
| detect the traps at all times. The traps are indicate by red |
| lines so don't walk toward them blindy as they deal a lot of |
| and sometimes deadly statuses! |

Enemies: Steeling, Skull Defender, Skeleton
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Go down the stairs and there will be some scenes. You will see the
Marquis for the first time. Once the scene is over, move down the
stairs and turn once you reach a T-Junction. Along the railway, you
will encounter a lot of Steelings. Head left until you see a winding
path, along that path you will encounter Skeletons.
Head west and you will see glowing white area...
Oltam Spam
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Skull Defender, Steeling, Aerieel*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do not go down the stairs and there are most likely to be bloody
traps on the ground. If you are lucky, you might encounter the rare
game - Aerieel here... Just go straight.
Transitway 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Skeleton, Steeling, Skull Defender
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find a Y-junction. Take the route that is heading east as the
left route leads to a dead end (but be sure to explore it for some
treasure though). There are bloody traps on the tiny winding in north
east section of these area. Just head northwards till you reach the
Shunia Twinspan.
Shunia Twinspan
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Skeleton, Skull Defender
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The enemies will regenerate regardless how much you attack. But as
mentioned earlier, the longer the chains, the higher the chances that
these enemy will drop more loot. Just eliminate all the skeletons
enemy and head north. Along this walkway, you fight Skull Defender
and Skeleton endless times and they will drop loot very easy (due to
high combo). This place is the ideal place to earn gil. So take note
Once you are done with your hunt for Bone Fragments and Dark Stones,
proceed northwards...
Site 2
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Skull Defender, Skeleton, Slaven
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Make your way towards north and take the path head northeast. Once
you reach a cavern area (no footpath), make sure all your party has
full HP/MP, the skeletons should be no match and Lamont is a good
guest considering he has infinite Potions.
Move inside the cave structure and this will eventually trigger
a cutscene. Balthier will question Lamont and you will meet
Balthier's enemies...
You will have to fight them but Balthier will suggest you run away
from them or you can defeat them if you have sufficient MP to use
Quickening.

Attacks: Ram, Lunge, Jump, Blizzard, Kick
All the Bangaa has Haste, Regen, Protect, Shell being cast on
them... By the way, note that Lamont has already left your party.
Use the Quickening to defeat Ba'Gamnan and all will retreat! You
just need to defeat Ba'Gamnan and the battle will end. I would
recommend you to defeat Ba'Gamanan for the update for your
Clan Primer.
Note: You can choose to escape from the battle by holding down
the R2 button.
Steal: Gil, Potion
LP: 5
________________________________________________________________
You will need to make your way back to the Shaft Entry area. Before
heading back, try to fight as many skeletons and skull defender as
possible so that you can chain them up and earn more loot for getting
more cash. At this moment, this dungeon is the best place earning loot
for gil...
Now you will need to chase after Lamont as you move back towards
the Shaft Entry. Upon exiting the mines, you will find out on Lamont's
true identity and he take away Penelo with him. Now you need to find
means to reach the Marquis - Ondore.
Move up the stairs and there will be some more scenes...

Now, you need to spread your notoriety meter... You will need to go
to the town and spread around Basch's fame by pressing the Square
button. Your objectivity is to build the guage to 100%.
Lhusu Square
-------------
You will need to find people (marked by green dots) on your radar
and draw them to your attention by pressing the Square button. You
can get up to 35% in the Lhusu Square. Now it is time to sell your
loot for a lot of gil...
Be careful when you are doing areas away from the Informed Sainikah (
Bhurjeba Soldiers with black helmet and carries a sword) or the
percentages will dropped. Just position Vaan in the middle of the
people and press Square to attract most people. By the way, you can
attract attention of same people by exiting and revisiting the area.
For faster building up of the Notoriety gauge, use it at the City
Parijanahs (the town guides and they carry a blue book). You can do
the testification at any place in Bhurjeba.
By the way, check out the shops again as they are selling new items.
The Imperial Guards are no longer blocking your way.

Exit through the West Block. At the entranceway to Port Section,
Vossler will give some instructions regarding the red sensor lights.

Imperial Guards will come after you... If you do not touch the web of
light sensors, you will only fight the Imperial Swordsman...

Enemies: Imperial Swordsman, Imperial Gunner, Imperial Hoplite

There are a couple of Imperial Guards and a cluster of treasure pots
in the middle of the area. There are 2 security stations, one on the
left side and the other one on the right hand side. Just go down the
stairs and fight the enemies underneath. The door at the lower deck
will lead to Airship Berth Access. Go up the stairs and there are
2 exits leading to the Starboard area.

Pick the second option and the access to the sub-control room will
be accessible. Please note the Bulkhead Release won't work if the

passage with 2 chests. One of them has a high chance of containing an
Ancient Sword. Remember to check it out.
You will find another Bulkhead Release in the north region similar to
the one you find at the Starboard section. Examine it and pick the 2nd
option to open the access to the Airship Berth Access. Head south from

fight? Unleash your characters' Mist Quickenings to end the
battle fast....

Talk to Wayward Bangaa and he will give the following options:
o Out West
o Back East
If you choose Back East, you will be told that that direction is
heading back to Rabanastre. If you head west, you are going to the
correct direction i.e. via the Yensan Sandsea. The sandsea makes the
desert look like a sandbox and it is very easy to lose your way.
The east route will lead to the Windtrace Dunes while the west route
leads to Ogir-Yensa Sandsea.

Your current objective is head for Ogrie-Yensa Sandsea, which is west
from The Western Divide. You will be revisiting the Dalmasca Westersand
later. Get some equipment for Penelo if you haven't gotten and use
her LP in such a way, that you will enable her to gain a Mist
Quickening and some licenses to equip decent armor.
Make your way towards west...

Rare Game:

Platform 1 - East Tanks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Alraune
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Like the Lhusu Mines, there are some bloody traps which can only be
detected if your character has Libra being casted. Make sure someone is
equipped with the Bangle or cast Libra for each character every 5
minutes to ensure you have Libra on.
Move forward and there will be a cutscene and explaining that you need
to head west to reach the late King's tomb...
Move up the stairs and walk around the circle ring. You will encounter
Alraune along the way and they will occassionally drop an item called
Succulent Fruit, which could fetch you 363 gil per one fruit. These are
the monsters that you will encounter in this. After passing 3 circle
pathway, you will be able to reach the next area...
Platform 1 - Refinery
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Alraune, Urutan-Yensa, Pineapple*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be a cutscene between your party and you will meet Vossler,
which is eventually by a FMV scene... Once the FMV scene is over,
Vossler will rejoin your party as Guest.
On the rings, you will encounter Alraune. The ring on the right has a
stairs leading downstairs which will lead you to fight Urutun-Yensas
on the sand path. On the left ring of the area, there is a ledge that
leads an Urn containing the map of Ogrie-Yensa Sandsea. Make sure you
grab it. Below is the map of the whole area.

Move down the left circle path and head towards the structure that is
the north. Aboard the structure, there is a bunch of Urutan-Yensa
hovering eliminate them all. There is a chest in the high platform of
these structure. Head left and it will be split into 3 rings. The left
ring leads to South Tank Approach, the middle leads to Central Junction
while the one on the right leads to the East Junction.
Head to the East Junction first.
East Junction
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Urutan-Yensa, Speartongue, Danbania, Alraune, Wyvern, Yensa
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
On the elevated platforms, you will fight Urtan-Yensa. If you head down
the east path from the platform, you will encounter a new enemy -
Speartongue and these enemies are weak against Fire and Danbania. There
is a treasure pot in the area. Exit [C] leads to Zertinan Cavern, which
you will be visiting it later. Hence ignore for the time being as the
monsters there will be too much for your party to handle at the current
stage.
The Y-Junction at the northeast region will lead another treasure pots
at the dead end where you will encounter Alraune along the way. Beware
of the traps that are setup along the pathway. Occassionally, you will
encounter a Wyvern hovering in the sky. Use Water Magicks to lure to
the ground for you to fight it.
At the left grounded, you will encounter Yensa (big fish) along with
Urutan-Yensa. Defeat all of them. Heal when your party's HP got below
60% and cast Cura (so you can heal all characters at the same time).
Head northwest and you will should find the exit path leading to the
Primary Tank Complex
Primary Tank Complex
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Urutan-Yensa, Salamand Entite
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In my opinion, the area looks like a beehive to me. The southwest area
leads to a trap and a chest behind the crates. Along the main pathway,
you will encounter Urutan-Yensas. There are a total of 10 compartments.
Run if you saw an gigantic fireball - Salamand Entite which has around
40000 HP and it will take at least 5 perfect Mist Quickenings to defeat
it. Run away from it and you should be able to do so considering it is
slow in movement.
The exit of this area is in the southwest. At the loop at the southwest
end it will split into 2 paths. The west one leads to the Platform 2
- Refinery while the path on the right leads to the Central Junction.
Take the left path first.
Platform 2 - Refinery
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Alraune, Urutan-Yensa, Danbania, Urutan Exile*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the northwest end of the area, you will find 3 platforms infested
with Alraunes and some treasure pots. Grab them all before heading
eastwards. Head south down the ring pathway until the path split to
2 paths. Take the the pathway that is heading right.
o----------------------------------------------------------------------o
| Nam-Yensa Sandsea - The Sandscale Bank |
| Along the ring-shaped pathways, you will encounter Urutan-Yensa as |
| usual and make sure you have Libra on at all times as the traps can |
| deal tremendous amount of damage. Go down the stairs on left and you |
| will find a chest along with some Danbania. Attack one of them & both|
| will become enemy status. If you exit via that area, it will lead to |
| Nam-Yensa Sandsea - The Sandscale Bank. At that area, use the Save |
| Crystal and talk to the Sandsea Moogle. Return back to the Platform |
| 2 - Refinery. |
o----------------------------------------------------------------------o
I would prefer the east route via Yensa Border Tunnel a better approach
as you will find a Gate Crystal along with a shop where you can
sell your loot. But make sure you talk to moogle or you will need to
make a big walkabout in the later part...
Central Junction
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Urutan-Yensa, Alraune, Salamand Entite, Speartongue
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the northwest area is blocked by the dangerous Salamand Entite, so
avoid that area for the time being. Along the platform walkway, you
will encounter either the Urutan-Yensa or the Alraune.
In the northeast area, you will encounter Speartongue again. Roast
them with Fire. Near the shores, you will encounter the friendly
Danbania again. Shock them with Thunder. The cave in the northeast will
lead to Zertinan Caverns. Ignore going there for the time being. The
path leading towards is also sealed off by another Salamand Entite.
Return back to the Refinery. Take the path heading southeast which will
leads to Platform 1 - South Tanks.
Platform 1 - South Tanks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Urutan-Yensa, Alraune, Wyvern
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Along the pathway you will find treasure pot and Urutan-Yensa guarding
that vicinity. At eastern most end of the lobs, you will find a
platform containing chests guarded by a bunch of Alraune and a Wyvern
hovering in the skies. The extreme ring on the right has a gateway that
leads to the Platform 1 - Refinery. The 2nd ring has a southeast path
that leads to the South Tank Approach.
South Tank Approach
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Urutan-Yensa, Danbania
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will encounter more Urutan-Yensa along the walkway. Go down the
stairs and you will find some friendly Danbania at the shoreline. Exit
via the cave and you will reach the Yensa Border Tunnel.
Yensa Border Tunnel
----------------------
There is a Gate Crystal where you can save your game. Use it. You will
find Dyce there (a shopping merchant).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Urutan-Yensa, Yensa, Bagoly
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The enemies will start to get tougher as your party gets to higher
levels. In the front area of slopes, you encounter mainly Urutan-Yensa
where you can chain for Earth Stones. Please take note that there are
2 versions of these enemies. The first version is one equipped with a
crossbow and it can attack you from far. Beware of those that carry a
sword as it can unleash an attack - Tri-Attack that can does around
190~300 HP damage. So watch out for it. There are also traps within
this area. So make sure someone is equipped with Bangle or ensure that
Libra is being cast at all times. Towards southwest end of the area,
you will encounter Bagoly, a stronger version of Urstix and it can
be tough if you don't handle it well. Do not head left towards to
next area. Instead go up the bridge and you will encounter Yensa (
unlike Dabania, they are unfriendly and larger in size). Along the
bridge area, you should be able to locate an Urn. Examine it and pick
up the map for this area. Exit the area via the northwest exit.
Withering Shores
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Urutan-Yensa, Urutan-Eater (event), Danbania
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the middle of the battle, you will find Urutan-Yensa battling a
gigantic turtle - Urutan-Eater, which will only appear if you talked
to the Sandsea Moogle at The Sandscale Bank area. Below is the stats
of the tortoise...
________________________________________________________________
Urutan-Eater LV 16 HP: 8015
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Ram, Stomp, Sonic Spin, Water
You will find 4 Urutan-Yensa attacking it and helping you in
this battle only. However, they WILL attack you after you have
assist them in destroying the turtle. A trick for an easy
victory is to switch to your characters that has full MP (i.e.
able to use Mist Quickening) before you approach it. Just
unleash a Mist combo and you will be able to defeat easily.
Steal: Aries Gem
LP: 8
________________________________________________________________
Exit this area via the north exit.
The Urutan-Yensa Sea
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Urutan-Yensa, Alraune
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will encounter Urutan-Yensa in the southern end of the area &
Alraune in the upper region. Just slice them apart and exit the area
via the north exit.
The Sandscale Bank
-------------------
Talk to sandsea moogle and it will say that you have helped the
Urutan-Yensa to defeat the Urutan-Eater... Exit the area and return
back to Ogir-Yensa Sandsea - Platform 2 - Refinery. Go up the stairs
and it will trigger a cutscene. Return back to The Sandscale Bank &
it will trigger another cutscene... After the events are over, there
will be a Rogue Uruta Flower on the ground. Examine it and you will
get Eksir Berries, an item that causes Dark elemental damage. Use the
Save Crystal and save your game. Go back to the Augur Hill and this
time, take the west exit to Yellow Sands.
Yellow Sands
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Bagoly, Urutan-Yensa, Yensa, Dabania (friendly), Axebeak
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will fight a new enemy here - Axebeak. Treat them as an upgraded
version of Cockatrice. But they should not pose much a problem. Heal
when your characters' HP gets too low. The southwest exit leads to the
Zertinan Caverns. Avoid there for the time being as the enemies are
too tough for your current party's strength to handle at the moment.
The exit of the area is at the west area where you need to go pass
the ring-shaped structure to get to Demesne of the Sandqueen.
Demesne of the Sandqueen
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Urutan-Yensa, Danbania (friendly), Yensa, Axebeak, Bull Yensa,
Megabomb*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can enter this area via 2 areas - Yellow Sands or the Withering
Shores. In the giant sandy area between the ring structures, you will
encounter * a lot* of Urutan-Yensa and Danbania if you move close to
shores. Head westwards and you will find a long wooden plank where
you will encounter more Urutan-Yensa and Yensa sprouting from the
shores. At the end of the planks there is a random chest. In the area
near the exit to the area, you will encounter more Axebeaks. Just
defeat them and proceed.
Trail of Fading Warmth
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Urutan-Yensa, Axebeak
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On the first platform, there are some Urutan-Yensa lurking around.
Move across the wooden bridge and you will find Axebeaks. Defeat them
and move along the wooden bridge. You wil face some Urutan-Yensa
again. The northeast path will leads to the Simoon Bluff. Enter the
cave.
Simoon Bluff
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Bagoly, Axebeak, Bull Danbania, Danbania, Wyvern*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
At the front of the area, there are 4 bloody traps which will be
sufficient to kill you if your party is low on HP. Switch out all
characters except for the one with the bangle. Exit the area via the
left path. There *should* be sufficient space for you to walk through.
Once on the sandy path, you will face a couple of Bagolys. Defeat
them. If you move up the ring structures, head to the ring at the
extreme right hand corner, you will find treasure pots along the
walkway. Pick them up. Return back to the sandy path and you will
find 2 chests at the vicinity. Destroy the Bagoly and move up the
slope. You will find more Axebeak rolling on the sand.
Before proceeding to the rear end of this area, make sure you have
switch your character's weapons to range weapons such as bows and
guns if you intend to defeat the Mark.
Move across the sandy area and you will find more Bagoly there. If
you have talk to Sherrel (the petitioner for the Wyvern Lord), you
will meet that Mark there.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.7 - Wyvern Lord
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
________________________________________________________________
Wyvern Lord LV ?? HP: 19,000+
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Ram, Gust, Aero
The Wyvern Lord is flying creature and weak against Earth
attack. It has a lot of HP and has very strong attacks. I will
not recommend you to fight it unless you got the Level 2
Quickening for your 6 characters. The Wyvern Lord's Ram does
around 300+ HP to one character and Aero does wind-elemental
damage to all characters for around 200+ each. Make use of a Mist
combo to get rid of the Bagoly in this region so that you can
focus on the Mark itself. Please note melee weapons such as
spears and swords cannot harm the boss unless you are using
range weapons like guns and bows. Heal with Hi-Potions if your
character's HP drops to red zone and you will be fine...
Steal: Yensa Scale, Crooked Fang
LP: 8
________________________________________________________________
Make sure your party is full healed before you return back to the
previous as all enemies will revived and you will have to battle
them again. Having the Ancient Swords helps a lot as it deals
decent damage and causes petrification.
Make your way back to the Trail of Fading Warmth
* The Wyvern will appear only after you have defeat the Wyvern

least 3 ammunition as it is very useful against flying enemies.
After the bridge, you will encounter no enemies there. Make some
purchases. Exit to the next area and you will be prompt to save your
game. Choose to do so.

Rare Game:
Cultsworn Lich (22)
The Valley of Dead
-------------------
There will be some FMV scenes and you have finally arrive at the late
king's tomb. Your party will have all their HP/MP fully restored.
Set up the following Gambits:
o Foe: flying -> Dark
Move down the walkway and you will be attacked by a flying boss -
Garuda!
________________________________________________________________
Garuda LV ?? HP: 6800+
________________________________________________________________
Type: Flying
Attacks: Enrage, Attack x3
As the Garuda is a flying creature, you need to have range
weapons such as guns and bows in order to attack it with the
Attack command. If you do not have such equipment, you have to
rely on spells or using Mist Quickening for a quick victory.
If you have Arcane magick - Dark, it is very useful to unleash
it as it works wonders against the boss. You will find Vossler
using the Telekinesis technick. Cast Cura when all your
character's HP fall below 300. The battle will be pretty
automatic if you set the Gambits that I mentioned earlier...
For a fancy finish, unleash a Mist Combo...
Steal: Gold Needle, Giant Feather
LP: 11
________________________________________________________________
After the battle is over, you will get a cutscene of that the ancient
device stir. This is follow by some scenes. You will find Dyce there
too... Has he been following you? Talk to him and he will sell you
some items:

Get the Argyle Armlet and equipped for all 3 characters. Make sure
you also got the license. Get at least LV 2 Mist Quickenings for
the 3 participating characters. If you want to defeat the first
Demon Wall which is possible you have 2 characters with LV3 Mist
Quickenings...
Get some Handkerchiefs as well. You will also need it too. Cast
Protect and Shell on all characters. Go to the Gate Crystal and save
your game before you head down to the tomb.
Hall of the Destroyer
--------------------------
Examine the Way Stone. Choose the top option (touch the device) and
your party will enter the Tomb of Raithwall. You examine this way
stone at the rear to get back. There is a cutscene upon you first
enter the tomb.. The way stone in front will give you the following
options:
o Read The Inscription
"With godscraft armed, guard we his tomb. Diad stirred, come they
one unto the other"
o Touch the Device
o Do Nothing
There is nothing you can do at the moment. Head down the stairs and
there will be some cutscene and you will have to fight the Demon Wall!
________________________________________________________________
Demon Wall LV ?? HP: 23000+
________________________________________________________________
Type: Demon
Attacks: Doom, Blindga, Attack, Silence, Sleep, Telega, Chain
Magick
Status: Reflect, Haste, Bravery, Faith
For those who do not have the Mist Quickening Rank 3, it will
definitely pose a huge problem for you. The boss has pretty
strong attacks and has Haste and Reflect casted on it.
Immediately unleash your level 3 Mist Quickenings and hopefully
you can get at least 12 to 15 hit combo and you will be able to
defeat it. Note that the rewards are very good too for defeating
it...
It is not a compulsory battle to fight it but I recommend you
to defeat it so that you can utilise the way stone and get to
use the Gate Crystal outside. It also offers a great deal of
LP for defeating it.
Steal: Gold Needle, Quality Stone, Solid Stone,
LP: 30
________________________________________________________________
For those who defeat it...
You will see a Hidden Jewel at the wall where the Demon Wall used to
stand. Ignore that for the time being. Go back to the The Valley of
Dead area and use the Gate Crystal to restore HP/MP.
Return back the tomb and go down the middle path and examine the
Ancient Door.
For those who run...
Run down the middle path and examine the Ancient Door at the end!
Hall of Sentinel
-------------------
There will be another scene and you have to fight another Demon Wall.
This time you cannot run away from it. For those who choose to run,
you got no choice other than bring it down.
Along the ledge of the walls, there are red orbs called Altar of
Contemplation and it will give you the following 3 options
o Read the Inscription
"Wakes It With The Flames. Follow it Their Shadow. Ne'er Straying"
o Touch the Brazier
o Do Nothing
Choose the 2nd option to halt the advance of the Demon Wall. If you
are unlucky, the orb may end up speeding the boss coming towards you
instead...
________________________________________________________________
Demon Wall LV ?? HP: 10500+
________________________________________________________________
Type: Demon
Attacks: Doom, Blindga, Attack, Silence, Sleep, Annul, Chain
Magick, Telega
The boss has the ability to use a couple of damaging attacks:-
o Doom - initates a countdown timer that causes an ally to be
KO'd when timer reaches zero.
o Blindga - causes Blind on all allies
o Annual - causes one ally to loses all his/her MP!
o Chain Magick -> Telega -> teleport one character away from
the battlefield.
Instead of making use of the red orbs to stop the boss. Move
forward towards the boss and use the Mist Quickening to finish
the battle fast. Compared to the other Demon Wall, this one is a
lot more easier... The boss has a lot of damaging attacks, hence
use Mist Quickening to finish it fast....
Steal: Gold Needle, Solid Stone, Quality Stone
LP: 9
________________________________________________________________
For those who have also defeat the previous Demon Wall, return back
to previous area and examine the Hidden Jewel. The pathway on the
left and right walkway will be elevated and you will be able to
access to a hidden area. Just keep on walking along the pathway
until you reach the Royal Passage. You will encounter Seekers and
Tallows there. Just defeat them and you will eventually find a chest
containing gil or if you are lucky, you will get the Demonsbane
sword. I recommend you to try it a few times as it is a good plus
early in the game.
Royal Passage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Seeker, Tallow
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be some scenes as you enter the next area. You will now
need to locate the Dawn Shard. In front of your members, there is 3
Way Stones. So far, only the one in the middle works. Your objective
is unlock the hidden passage that leads to the Dawn Shard. Below is
the map of area.
Northfall Passage
|
Chamber |
of First __ Cloister Royal __ Hall of __ Hall of __ Valley _[A]
Light of Flame Passage Sentinel Destroyer of the
| Dead
Southfall Passage [IS] [GC]
In order to head for the Cloister of Flame, you need to activate the
teleport circle at the Royal Passage. For those are in need of healing
or purchasing items, use the blue Way Stone to get to the first area
and use the yellow Way Stone to get to the rear area to exit the tomb.
This allows you to exit without fighting the 20,000 HP Demon Wall if
you haven't defeat it yet.
I will go for the Northfall Passage first.
Northfall Passage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Ragoh, Zombie, Lesser Chimera, Zombie Mage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 2 entrances to the Northfall passage. You can use either one
of the exits. Make sure you have acquired Aero and Water spells as
they will be very useful. Throughout the area, you will find Ragnoh,
a big purplish pot-shaped monster that casts a random black magick.
Dispose it with Aero as it is weak against Wind. In this area, you
will also encounter Lesser Chimera, flush it with Water. If you
encounter Zombie, just attack with your normal attacks. In the middle
of the dungeon, there is a Northfall Pedestal and there is a Way Stone.
Examine the Northfall Pedestal and pick top option to activate it.
3 Zombie Mages will surround your party and you need to defeat them.
You can either go out of the mazy area by foot or use the Way Stone
to teleport to the Royal Passage. Make your way south and take one
of the exits that leads to the Southfall Passage.
Southfall Passage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Lesser Chimera, Lich, Ragnoh, Lost Soul, Skull Warrior,
Cultsworn Lich*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The southfall passage is more dangerous than the Northfall area, you
will fight Ragnoh and Lesser Chimera. You will encounter Lich, a ghost
enemy that can teleport and it could cast a series of dangerous status
Spells (be prepared to use Eye Drops and Handkerchief). You will also
encounter Lost Soul and Skull Warrior. Beware of Bone Toss. You will
find the Southfall Pedestal, which is also in the middle of the area.
Examine and pick the top option. You will need to fight 3 Lichs.
Return back to the Royal Passage.
After opening all 3 pedestals, if you talk to Dyce again and he will
be selling the same items in addition with the following new armor
and magicks:
Armor:
---------------
Winged Helm 2500 gil
Chainmail 2500 gil
Magicks & Tecknicks
---------------------
Confuse 1400 gil
Regen 1900 gil
Use the Way Stone to get back to the Royal Passage. Use the Way Stone
to get to the Southfall Passage or Northfall Passage. There will be a
3-way path but on the map it shows as 2-way. The hidden path will
leads to a doorway to the Cloister of Flame
Cloister of Flame
--------------------
Once you first reached there, there will be scene between Fran and
Penelo. Walk down the edges of the stairways and there are 2 treasure
chests between the area containing a Gold Needle and an Elixir.
At the entrance way to Chamber of First Light, there is an Esper
standing in front of it and you will need to fight it without any
warning...
________________________________________________________________
Belias LV ?? HP: 15,000+
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Saber, Attack, Firaja, Greater Barrier, Fire
The Esper has a lot of HP and it will take you a while to beat
it. It is weak against Water so make full use of it. It's
normal attack does around 150 ~ 200 HP to one ally and it will
cast Fire for its next few turn. This is followed by the Saber,
which will cause Oil status on all allies. Once its HP is below
50%, it will cast Greater Barrier, which will carries Protect
and Shell status. Afterwards, it will unleash Firaja which does
around 500 HP to all allies each (without Oil). Hence, make sure
you cure your characters off the Oil status or they will be
killed by the attack. Unleash Mist Quickening for the final
blow!
Steal: Ether, Aries Gem
LP: 15
_________________________________________________________________
Once the battle is over, you will get Esper Belias the Gigas to
your side! Search the sides of the area where you battle Belias and
you will find 2 chests and they contain a Phoenix Down and another
Elixir. Examine the ancient door.
Chamber of First Light
-------------------------
There is a Way Stone where you can't do anything about it. Make your
way up the stairs from the Way Stone and there will be some scenes.
After the scenes are over, you will get the key item - Dawn Shard.
Examine the Way Stone and you will be back at the Hall of Destroyer
and head eastwards to examine the yellow Way Stone to get out of the
tomb. Examine the Gate Crystal and save your game. Note that you
cannot not teleport elsewhere for this period. Head south...
There will be some FMV scenes....

________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Sword Strike, Enrage, Reflect
You will need to battle an friend and he is on the side of the
Empire. Vosseler has Shield and Haste cast on him. Defeat the
Imperial Swordsmen first. Then focus on attacking Vosseler.
Once his HP gets below 50%, he will cast Reflect which will
reflect any spell on him. Cast Protect on Vossler and all that
spells will be reflected on your party. If you have Fran in your
current party, she will in Berserk mode but you cannot control
her but she will deal double damage then usual. Once Vossler uses
Enrage, he will use a 3 sword combo that could deal around 400 HP
to one ally. Keep on all character's HP above 500 HP and you will
be fine. Finish off with Mist Quickening or summon your newly
acquired Esper...
Steal: Hi-Potion
LP: 33
_________________________________________________________________
There will be some more scenes and Shiva crash landed due to
overwhelming power of the Dawn Shard. Now you need to re-collect
back the Dawn Shard... This is followed by some more scenes. The

Before making your way to the Garif Village in the south, there are a
lot of grounds that you may want to do....
Revisiting Bhurjeba
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For those who are running low on gil, I suggest you revisit the Lhusu
Mines in Bhujerba and slaughter Skeletons for Bone Fragments. That
ground contains rather a fast way to get gil. Since you are on the way
to Bhujerba, it will be good to finish a hunt for a Mark there...

First of all, you need to head for Khus Skygrounds. You will find a

hunt. Now go the Lhusu Mines. Go all the way to the place where Larsa
talks about the Manufactured Nethicite (Site 2) and you should find a
giant tortoise there.

Attacks: Sonic Turn, Stone Stomp, Haste
The boss has pretty strong defense. Its Sonic Turn does damage
to all allies that surround it. Stone Stomp does around 300 HP

Belias to fight this battle. Just defeat it and you will get 8
LP for your rewards.

After you defeat the Mark, make your way out of the mines and talk to
Pilika for your reward - 1200 gil, Hi-Potion x2 & Heavy Coat. Your
Clan Rank should improve to Vanguard (if you have using the walkhrough
all the while...). Talk to Pilika again and pick the top option to get
his diary from Clio's Technicks. You will get the Merchant's Armband.

o Pilika's Diary o
-----------------------------
Now make your way to Clio's Technicks at Miner's End. Examine the
bookshelf at the upper floor (the moogles are no longer blocking your
way). You should see a marker "Pilika's Diary". Pick it up. You will be
given to read it or abstain. Now make your way back to Pilika at Khus'
Skygrounds and you will be given 2 options. The reward will depends on
your options:

| I have read it | Kilimweave Shirt |
| I have done nothing | Shepherd's Balero |
|________________________|______________________|
Telling Pilika that you have not read it is better option (but you can
read it behind its back!) Remember... It is rude to read someone's
diary...

o Souls of Bhujerba o
-----------------------------
This optional quest can be done anytime after you have completed the
event at the Tomb of King Raithwell. Across Bhujerba, you will find

bottles. You can sell this bottles to the residents in Bhujerba for
1000 gil. Hence, seize this opportunity to earn some gil. There are
You can collect 14 and only sell 13 at this point of time. Please
note that the 14th bottle can be sold after you have complete Antlion
Mark Hunt.

Flight #1 From Bhujerba to Rabanastre
---------------------------------------
Return back to Rabanastre via the Aerodome. Choose to take the leisure
craft and pay 200 gil for it. There will be a cutscene. You will be
able to access to the transport aircraft. At the Observation Parlour,
you will find two shops and they sells the following:
Assistant Shop Keeper #1 Assistant Shop Keeper #2
------------------------- ---------------------------
Potion 70 gil Teleport Stone 200 gil
Hi-Potion 210 gil Gyashl Greens 102 gil
Phoenix Down 250 gil
Make your way to the Sky Saloon and talk to the Chief Stewardess at
the counter in northeast area and you will meet Rande there. Pick the
top option. After the conversation is over, you will get a key item's
Ann's Letter. For more details about this, please refer to the Side
Quest for more details. Talk to the Chief Stewardess again and pick
the top option to rest and return back to Rabanastre. At the Moogling
terminal at the westgate, talk to Sorbet and you will be able to
accept for White Mousse at the Garamsythe Waterway. Accept it.
Make your way to Clan Hall. Talk to Montblanc and you will get 3x
Hi-Potion & 2x Teleport Stone. You can also enquire about the hunt
for Mark Rank III - Gil Snapper. Now use the teleport crystal or
make your way on foot to Nalbina.
o--------------------------------------------------------------------o
| Nalbina Trigger Event |
o--------------------------------------------------------------------o
| The shops are selling the same items with the exception of Gambit |
| Shop, which sold the same items as the one in Rabanastre. All |
| Gambit Shops are selling the same items as the one in Rabanastre. |
| |
| Make your way to the walkway that was sealed off by the Imperial |
| Guards. There will be a cutscene between Gibbs, Deweg and an |
| onlooker - July. Talk to Gurdy the moogle at the Chocobo ranch and |
| hire a Chocobo for 800 gil. Use sprint and attempt to move pass |
| walkway. The guards will run away and you will be able to access |
| the Mosphorn Highwaste! July will thank you for your help |
| |
| Since you are on a Chocobo, ride through to the Mosphoran Highwaste|
| Move pass Southern Skirts and Summit Path. Search for a red border |
| there. Dismount your Chocobo by pressing Circle button. Talk to |
| the merchant (Luccio) & you be able to purchase Thief's Cuffs, an |
| excellent accessory if you want more loot and the Golden Amulet, |
| an accessory that doubles the amount of LP your characters gain. |
| Buy 1 Thief Cuffs and 2 Gold Amulets. Now use the Teleport Crystal |
| to teleport to Rabanastre or walk back if your party is strong... |
| |
o--------------------------------------------------------------------o
Rabanastre
-------------
Make your way to the Southern Plaza. You will find a Cartographer's
Guild in the northwest section of the area. You will be able to buy a
map for Dalmasca Westersand for 550 gil.
Now make some preparations and I recommend you to get Esuna and Gravity
magicks as they will provide you with some great help for your upcoming
challenges. As for equipment, I recommend you to get Feathered Cap and
Traveler's Vestment as the armor and headgear for your characters (they
cost cheaper than the Golden Helm and Armor). Get the Kotetsu katana
and give it to your strongest attacker. In my opinion, it is better than
Axe and Hammers as the damage rate is fixed and it has a higher combo
rate.
--------------------------
o Collecting Monographs o
--------------------------
There are something to do now... Go to the Muthru Bazaar. Along the
walkway where you find the Clan Provisioner, you will find Gatsly on
the right side of the path. Talk to him. Now talk to the Clan
Provisioner. Upon entering the shop screen, you will see the following
note appearing - "New bazaar goods have arrived". Search the Bazaar
Goods list and you will find a 18,000 gil Forgotten Gilmoire available
for purchase.
Upon buy it, you will get the Hunter's Monograph. Having a Monograph
helps to increase the rate of better drops when defeating a monster.
These is essential when you need to get some of the game's best
weapons and equipment.
Just fulfil the following requirements and talk to any shop. Once you
see the note "New bazaar goods have arrived", it means you have
fulfilled the requirement.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Monograph What it does Cost
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hunter Increases drop rate for Beasts/Avions 18,000 gil
(Talk to Gatsly at the Muthru Bazaar after you have completed the
Thextera Hunt)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Knight Increase drop rate from Giants & Insects 19,000 gil
(Talk to the merchants at any weapon shops for a total of 35 times)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Warmage Increase drop rate from Amorphs/Undead 20,000 gil
(Examine the hunt board for a total of 25 times)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Mage Increase drop rate from Fiends 21,000 gil
(Talk to the merchants at any magick shops for a total of 30 times)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Scholar Increase drop rate from Constructs 22,000 gil
(Talk to the merchants at any armor shops for a total of 20 times)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Dragoon Increase drop rate from Dragons/Plants 22,000 gil
(Examine the hunt board for a total of 50 times)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sage Increase drop rate from Elements 25,000 gil
(Talk any merchant for a total of 100 times - includes the 85 times
for the other monographs)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It seems almost impossible to buy all Monographs at one shot. I will
recommend you to get the Hunter and Warmage's Monograph first. So go
out there and earn some gil first! You can earn a lot of gil in a
short period by fighting in Lhusu Mines (get the Hunter and Warmage
monographs first). With the Thief Cuffs, you should be able to get
more quality loot at a faster rate...

It is more greener than your previous visit. The enemies are stronger
than the ones you encountered before. Most of the time, you will find
Hyena roaming on the grasslands. You will find a Gigantoad sprouting
out you approach the water region. So watch out... Head east and get
the Gizas North Bank. There is a withered tree at the entrance to
the village. Pick the top option to strike it down.
Gizas North Bank
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Ichthon, Great Tortoise, Gigantoad, Hyena, Storm Elemental*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a withered tree. Strike it down as well. You will encounter a
couple of friendly Ichthons and a gigantic Great Tortoise (the
tortoise is weak against Fire) and I suggest you defeat it first
before you fight the Ichthons... Due to the rains, the plains getting
smaller and you will have lesser walk space to fight your enemies.
Make sure someone has Libra on at all times as there are traps in these
areas. Make your way back to The Throne Road. Head west to get the
Warrior's Wash.
Warrior's Wash
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Hyena, Gigantoad, Great Tortoise
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The area has been shrinked in size due to the rains. You will find
Hyenas roaming the grasslands as usual along with Gigantoads surprise
your party when you move near the edge. There are treasure pots found
at the edge of the shore. There is a Great Tortoise in the middle.
Soak it with oil and cook it with fire...
Toam Hills
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Hyena, Gigantoad, Wooly Gator, Ichthon, Mardu Entite*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find Hyena and Gigantoad in the upper part of the region. At
the peninsula region head towards to the Starfall Field, you will find
a Wooly Gator. At the end of the pathway, you will find a couple of
Hyenas and a withered tree. Examine and choose the top option to knock
it down. If you ever encounter a Mardu Entite, do not disturb as it is
way too strong for your party at the moment.
Now make your way back to Village.
Nomad Village
---------------
There is another withered tree. Chop it down.
The villagers has left the village and you will find a person (Sadeen)
there. Talk to him to begin the hunt for Croakadile. Choose to accept
it. Use the Save Crystal to heal your lost HP/MP. Exit and make your
way back to the Toam Hills. From there, head southeast and you will
find an exit that leads to the Starfall Fields.
Starfall Fields
----------------
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.9 - Croakadile
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
There is another withered tree at the northeast end of the area.
Examine it to knock it down. The west walkway leads to the Dalmasca
Westersand. Go south via the bridge in the middle. Roam around that
area and you will be ambushed by a gigantic version of Gigantoad!
________________________________________________________________
Croakadile LV ?? HP: ???? (~15000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Angelsong, Gnaw, Growing Threat, Aqua Bubbles
Status: Shell, Bravery
The Croakadile will start off by using Angelsong, which will
cast Regen on itslef. HP and Regen on it. It will use its normal
attacks most of the time and does around 100 ~ 200 HP. Beware
when the Mark uses Growing Threat, which increases it level and
doubling its attacking power. Finish it off with Mist Quickening
if that happens.
Steal: Horn, Aries Gem
LP: 10
________________________________________________________________
Upon defeating it, you will get the Ring of Toad key item. Now make
your way back to the Nomad Village. Talk to Sadeen and you will get
1200 gil, 1x Serpent Rod and 1x Teleport Stone. He will ask you to
take the ring to his beloved one... Now make your way back to Starfall
Fields.
Starfall Fields
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Hyena, Gigantoad, Wooly Gator
----------------------------------------------------------------------
At the exit closest to Toam Hills, there is another withered tree.
Chop it down as well. You will encounter mainly Hyena and Gigantoads
around this area. If you hear loud footsteps, a Wooly Gator is just
nearby. The enemies here are pretty weak here. You can steal Braid
Wool from Wooly Gator and sell them for a pretty handsome sum of gil.
Instead of exit the area via the pathway heading south, head southwest
and make your way to the Crystal Glade. If you are lucky, you may find
the Gariff Hunter assisting you in fighting the monsters here...
Crystal Glade
----------------
You will find Roaklo and Nanau here. There is also another withered
tree here. Examine it to chop it. If you have chop all the trees, you
will hear a ring.
Use the Save Crystal there to restore your lost hit points. Talk to
Nanau and she will brief you a bit on the Rain Lord - Gil Snaper
before giving you to the Silent Urn. Exit via the other path to head
for Gizas South Bank...
Gizas South Bank
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Hyena, Gigantoad, Storm Elemental*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The bridge heading eastwards leads to the Dalmasca Estersand. You
will find mostly Hyenas here and they come in packs so watch out.
Along the shores, you will find Gigantoad resting. Cross the middle
bridge and head south. You will saw an estrangled wood there. Examine
it and it will states that if you chop more wood, you will be able to
cross that area. That track leads to the Tracks of The Beast. Do not
visit there for the time being, as the monsters are overwhelming strong
for your party at the moment.
Occasionally, there is a Storm Elemental. It is a friendly monster.
However, if you intend to bring it down, make sure that you have full
HP/MP before approach it to fight. Use your Mist Quickenings as you can
get 4 LP for defeating one.
Now return back to the Crystal Glade and make your way back to the
Starfall fields. Take the south exit and you will end up in the Ozmone
Plains.

You will encounter new enemies. Zu are particularly annoying and you
cannot hurt them unless you have equipped with long range weapons such
as bows or bowguns. As magicks are limited by MP, I would recommend
you to switch everyone's equipment to long range weapons. I usually
has the guys as close-range attackers while armed the ladies with
range weapons.
In the northwest region, you will find a couple of Zus and a Mesmenir.
Beware of Vipers lurking from ground. At the northeast area, there is
a bunch of Zaghnal lurking around. They have around 3000 HP each and
they are weak against Wind. Cast Aero to knock them down all at 1
swoop! Unlike most enemies, they give you 2 LP each. Take the south
path.
The Switchback
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Mesmenir, Viper, Hybrid Gator
---------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a terrace area in the western region of the area. That exit
will leads to the Zertinan Caverns. In that area, you will encounter
mostly Mesmenir (horse-like creatures that are weak against Ice) and
Viper (they will appear from the ground out the blue). There are 3
paths - the north path leads to the Dagan Flats, the east path leads
to The Greensnake and lastly the south path leads to the Haulo Green.
You need to proceed to the Haulo Green as the Garif village should be
south of Giza Plains.
Haulo Green
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Viper, Black Chocobo, Mesmenir, Red Chocobo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
It has been a long time since Final Fantasy Tactics that we have
Chocobo as enemies. The Black Chocobo has a couple of dangerous
attacks so make sure you finish them off fast. Having the Aero spell
works wonders as it attacks on all targets that are within its
attacking range. Proceed westwards and you will reach the village of
Garif - Jahara. Within this area, you will find a Garif Warrior
attacking monsters on its own. Make sure you lend a helping hand.

Before heading for the Golmore Jungle, make sure you have the
following magicks:
o- Esuna, Aero
o- Gold Needle if you do not have the Aero spell.
o- Gladius knife (as most monsters here are weak against Wind)
o- Equip the Killer Bow and Onion Arrows or Bowgun and Onion Bolts
on one character to handle the flying Zus. It would be better if
you managed to get your hands on the Elfin Bow...
Below is a mini-guide about riding Chocobos in Final Fantasy XII
o----------------------------------------------------------------o
| Riding Chocobos |
o----------------------------------------------------------------o
| As a tradition, when you ride a Chocobo, you won't be attacked |
| by enemies. There is a timer at the lower-hand corner of the |
| screen. You can sprint by press X (there are only 3 sprint |
| gauges) and dismount with Circle button. The ride will be over |
| once you choose to dismount or the timer has reach zero. |
| Please note that you cannot pick treasure chests when you are |
| riding a Chocobo. Each ride last about 180 seconds |
| |
| You can get a ride by talking to the moogle at the Chocobo |
| Ranch. It will require you to pay gil... |

Ride your Chocobo and make your way to the The Shred. Dismount there
when you find the Wus.
The Shred
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Wu, Aeros*, Bull Croc*
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The whole area is being infested with Wus here. Toss them around with
Aero. Exit that area and return back to that area, you will find a
gigantic Slaven-like creature - that's Enkledos
________________________________________________________________
Enkelados LV ?? HP: ???? (~12000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Spinkick, Shell, Protect, Restore, Kick, Gnaw
Status: Protect, Shell
The Mark has Protect cast on it and it is weak against Wind. It
was cast Shell on it at the start of the battle. Just toss
energy of Aero at it. Larsa provides a good assistance here and
he will cure your members with Hi-Potions if they get low and
you don't need to worry about your inventory though. Beware of
the Mark's spinkick as it does damage to all allies for around
150~300 each. It is possible to defeat without using a Mist
Quickening.
Steal: Potion
LP: 9
________________________________________________________________
You will get Errmonea Leaf upon defeating it. If you are unlucky, you
may encounter more dangerous Rare Games such as Bull Crocs or Aeros.
If they happens on the same battlefield, I suggest you defeat the Rare
Game first as they are harder than the Enkelados.
Your Clan Rank will be promoted to Headhunter if you have been using
this walkthrough. Now you need to make your way back to the Jahara
Village
The Greensnake
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Wu, Ozmone Hare, Hybrid Gator, Garif Adventurer**
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find the pathway being infested with Wus and a Hybrid Gator
is found here (which will appears only after you have visit the Garif
at the Jahara). Toss around the Wu with Aero and use Water on the
Hybride Gator. At the northeast end of the area, you will find a
bunch of Ozmone Hares. Occasionally, you will encounter a Garif
Adventurer. Make sure you do not use Aero or you may end up attacking
it thus turning it to a foe. You can defeat it to complete your
Garif bestiary
Haulo Green
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Viper, Mesmenir, Black Chocobo, Red Chocobo
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Make your way back to Jahara via the Haulo Green. The area is
infested with Vipers and you will find a group of Black Chocobo at
the front of the area. Make your way back to the village.
Jahara
----------
Make your way to the area where you find Sugumu - 1100 gil, Ether x1
and a Golden Amulet for your reward. The Golden Amulet is a very
useful training accessory as it will doubles the amount of license
points you can gain!
Do some shopping and get Brigandine armor for your party and if you
got a lot of gil, get the Golden Armor. Stock up a lot of Gold
Needles if you do not acquire Esuna spell. The Iron Carapace can sell
for around 400 gil a piece and you can get them easier by defeating
the Mesmenir. Exit the village and you may to get a ride on a Chocobo
(it will cost you 30 gil for a ride) and I suggest you get if you
are getting bored with the fighting. Ride the Chocobo and make your
way to the Sunlit Path.
Sunlit Path
---------------
You will dismount automatically from the Chocobo once you reached
there. There will be some scenes between your party and short cutscene
where you find out more about Vayne and Archadia Empire... There is a
Save Crystal here. Save your game.

Switch your weapons back to the melee weapons and you will be heading
into the jungle. The enemies here are mostly weak against Ice or Wind.
So make sure you have gotten the Aero spell. It will come extremely in
this area.
Paths of Chained Light
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Panther, Gargoyle, Malboro, Hellhound, Midgardsormr*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the first area, you will find a herd of panthers. Beware of its
Stone Gaze and its ability to petrify your member. So use a Gold
Needle/ cast Esuna if your character got petrified. They are weak
against Blizzard. Warp is pretty effective against them but you will
get no experience points for defeating them. Avoid head southwards as
you will probably face a dangerous foe called the Hellhound. Although,
the HP is not really that much but their attacking power is very
strong as they can deal around 400+ per attack! So use Mist Quickening
if you encounter them and make use of the combo chain. In the middle
path, you will find Malboro (don't worry as they are not as dangerous
like the previous Final Fantasies). The location of Urn containing the
map is located in the middle of cross junction. Make sure you grab it.

Whisperleaf Way which will be sealed off.
Make your way eastwards and reach the exit at [2]. There will be a
cutscene. You will also find out Golmore Jungle happened to be near
the homeland of Fran. Now along the pathway, there is a magic
forcefield that prevent you from moving onwards. But Fran has create
a passageway for you to move, which is marked by C on the diagram
above. You will find a ! checkmarks on your map as you approach near
a barrier.
You will also encounter another new enemy here - Treant. They are on
friendly status and should not pose much difficulty to defeat them.
Go to the point marked C. It will unveil a Hidden Path checker. (if
you have exit and re-enter the screen. Examine it and pick the top
option. Move forward...

Be careful. Make your way back to Ozmone Plains - Sunlit Path.
Ozmone Plains - Sunlit Path
-----------------------------
Talk to wounded Imperial soldier that is lying at the ground south
from the Save Crystal. He will request for a Potion. Give it to him &
you will be able to get a Chocobo ride for free.
Talk to him again to ride a Chocobo. Go to the Fields of Light Winds,
which happens to the next area. Near the entrance way to previous area,
You will find a herd of black Chocobos in front your right. Pay
attention to the yellow Chocobo that is on the southeast edge of the
area. Move your Chocobo there and you will be able to access the other
half of the Shred area, which you can't access it earlier. You will
end in the area in front of the Henne Mines. Press Circle to dismount.

Take the east exit (or head left on the map). Ignore the switch first.
Set the following Gambits -> Foe: any & Foe: targeting self - Cast
Fire combo. Turn this Gambit On. Choose to activate the switch.
5 Jellys will appear on the area or you can exit the area to avoid
fighting them. Beware the Jelly could confuse an ally with its
Phantasmal Gaze. So watch out for it. Physical attacks do not work
well, so Fire or Aero (the only group attack magic) works well. Upon
opening the switch, you will have 2 exits. Take the north route
(heading south from the map)
Phase 1 Shaft
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Redmaw, Seeker
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The north route will lead to a turning junction where you find the
Urn containing the map of Henne Mines. Make sure you grab it. Along
the walkway you encounter mainly bats (Seekers or Redmaw) and you can
chain them for decent items too. The Redmaw has the capability of
using Leech and causing Poison. So have Poisona and Antidote on
stand-by.
Make your way back to Pithead Junction A and turn off the Gate
Switchboard) and it will turn red. Take the other pathway along the
shaft. Like the other shaft, it has also being infested where you can
easily make a 20 Chain combo... Continue until you reach a train
station like structure and the exit will be nearby.
Phase 1 Dig
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Redmaw, Nightmare, Thunderbug
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Along the shaftway, you will fight more bats. At the edge of the
area, you will saw 2 treasure chests. They will contain a random
treasure. Pick them up.
Continue to venture into the dig areas. If you continute eastwards,
it lead to fighting a Nightmare but beware there is a trap in front
of it. The Nightmare is similar to the first boss that you fight at
the Garamsythe Waterway. It has the ability to teleport and it cast
Dark magick.
The exit is on the east side of the area. However if you head
westwards, it will uncover a secret pathway (not shown on the map)
that leads to a chest containing a rare treasyre. By the way, make
sure your party has Libra on at all times as there are a lot of traps
in the mines.
At the dead end before the pathway that leads to the exit. You will
find a treasure pot but it is actually the Thunderbug (missed the
Mimics?). Freeze it with Ice to defeat it. The real chest is the one
that is enclosed by a chest. Approach it with caution and you should
be able to open it without trigger the trap!
Crossover A
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Redmaw, Tyranorox
---------------------------------------------------------------------
You will encounter more Redmaws along a new beast - Tyranorox. There
are 2 of them. Watch out for its Sonic Fangs as it could be an
instant death for one character. But you can still have no problem
of defeating it. The east exit is being seal off. Take the exit in
the north.
Crossover B
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Thunderbug, Redmaw
---------------------------------------------------------------------
At the southwest corner, there are 2 treasure chests which are
actually Thunderbug in disguise. Defeat 1 at time. Freeze them with
Ice magicks. Now continue eastwards, take note of the gate at the
northwest region. Continue along the shaft walkway on the east and it
will lead to Pithead Junction B.
Pithead Junction B
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Jelly x20
---------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, bring in the summoner member. Equip him/her with the
following first:
For the summoner with Belias,
- Have the summoner cast Libra (if he/she is not equipped with Bangle)
- The summoner has aleast 3 Mist carts (i.e. acquired all 3 Mist
Quickenings)
- Cast Regen, Protect, Shell on the summoner (Make sure that
character still has full HP/MP)
- The summoner has acquired the following spells - Cura
- Make sure that character has all magic channeling level 2 learnt
to reduce the MP cost or you will need to use Ethers.
Examine the switchboard once those status. Once you see around 10+
Jelly (or so many that your character can barely walked). Summon
Belias. Have Belias do the attacking, while your character cast Cura
when HP gets lot. Around 2 minutes later, Belias should unleash
Hellfire which will wipe out all the enemies. Move your characters
around that area to collect the goodies. Summon Belias a second
time and support Belias by healing it... Watch for a 2nd Hellfire.
Alternatively if you do not have those requirements, escape or your
party will defintiely be wiped (unless you unleash Mist Quickening).
Once the job is done, make your way back to Crossover A. Fight the
Tyranorox and the Redmaws and make your way back to Crossover B.
From Crossover B, take the northwest exit to the Staging Shaft.
Staging Shaft
--------------
There will be a cutscene and you finally found Mjrn... But she seems
distracted. Now in front of area, there will be a Gate Crystal.
Use it. Cast Protect, Shell and Regen on all members (including Larsa)
Switch the summoning character to the bay. Equip your characters with
the 3 Black Belt if you have bought it earlier.
This will be a compulsory step before you go for future boss fights.
Now use it to save your game. Set up the following gambits:
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Ally: status = HP Critical -> Hi-Potion
o Ally: HP <50% -> Cura
Ore Separation
----------------
There will be a gigantic dragon at the area. It is a boss fight!
________________________________________________________________
Tiamat LV ?? HP: ???? (~40000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Rake, Disablega, Aero, Breath, Reflect
Notes: Absorbs Wind
The boss starts off with Rake on one of your characters. Just
attack with your normal attacks first. The Heavy Lance works
wonders here as it can slow down the boss. Rake does around 200
to 300 HP damage to one character. Make sure none of your
characters are equipped with wind-elemental weapons like the
Gladius as it heals the boss. Midway, through the battle, the
boss can cast Disablega which causes Disable on all characters
which prevent affected targets from using command. If that
happens switch to your characters in the bay. Once it's HP gets
down 50%, it use Breath which does around 350 to 450 on all
characters (even with Protect and Shell). Cast Cura if your
character are in low in HP. Once the boss is left 25% HP, its
defense will goes up and physical attacks deals little damage to
it. Hence, use your Mist Quickenings if you still have Mist
charges in your arsenal. Unleash them. Take note that Disable
characters cannot participate in chaining Mist Quickening
combos... If the situation gets worse, call the character with
the summoning Belias ability to summon Belias. Have the summoner
character cast Regen, Protect and Shell on Belias. Watch and
Belias will finish the job for you...
Steal: Leo Gem, Hi-Potion
LP: 15
________________________________________________________________
Once the boss fight is over, there will be some scenes and you will be
back at the Uruyt Village and you will get the Lente's Tears key
item which allows you to defuse the magic forcefield.
Eruyt Village - Road of Verdant Praise

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Treant, Malboro, Great Malboro, Hellhound
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will be able to move pass the magic forcefield at ease due to the
key item - Lente's Tears. Watch out for Hellhound as they can deal
heavy damage with its normal attack (cast Blind to cause it to miss)
and Protect to reduce the damage. Avoid heading southwest as you will
encounter a lot of Hellhounds there. Beware of Malboro's Bad Breath,
cast Esuna to remove most of its statuses. Head eastwards and make
your way to Whisperleaf Way.
Whisperleaf Way
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Gargoyle, Great Malboro, Malboro
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The walkway is very simple. Just walk straight and slaughter any
enemies that come in your way...
The Parting Glade
-------------------
Setup the following Gambits:
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Ally: status = HP Critical -> Hi-Potion
o Ally: HP <50% -> Cura
o Ally: status = Confuse -> Smelling Salts
o Ally: status = Sleep -> Alarm Clock
o Ally: status = Slow -> Haste
o Foe: any -> Aero
There is another Gate Crystal here. Use it. You will find another
wood-warder. Cast Haste, Protect, Shell and Regen on all your active
party members.
Save your game. Proceed.
Dell of The Dreamer
---------------------
There will be some scenes and you fight another dragon....
________________________________________________________________
Elder Wyrm LV ?? HP: ???? (~45,000)
Treant A LV 25 HP: 4764
Treant B LV 25 HP: 4764
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Lunge, Slow, Break, Confuse, Rake, Sporefall, Fireball
The boss starts off with Shell. Destroy the assisting Treants
first as they could cast Protect, which will further making your
battle more difficult.
The Elder Wyrm physical defense is not as good as the Tiamat but
it does packs a punch in dealing status ailments to your allies,
which can be annoying if you do not treat it properly.
The Sporefall does a range of status ailments - Silence, Sleep,
Confuse, Sap, Oil & Blind. Once everyone is awake from Confuse,
use Echo Herbs for every characters. Use Handkerchiefs if the
character gets oiled. This is because when the boss unleash its
Fireball it will do normally 400 HP to one character and 1200 HP
to an oiled character). Cast Esuna to remove Poison/Blind and
Regen to remove Sap. The boss is weak vs. wind elemental, hence
the Gladius Knife comes very handy...
Steal: Succulent Fruit, Emperor Scale
LP: 28 (Elder Wyrm), 2 (Treant x2)
________________________________________________________________
Return back to the Gate Crystal and save your game. Now go back to the
Dell of The Dreamer and exit via the west path.
The Branchway
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Gargoyle, Malboro, Great Malboro, Treant, Phyllo*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The branch will split into 2 paths. At the lower branch, you will
encounter lesser enemies (as they are replaced by friendly Treants).
You will encounter Great Malboro and Malboro in the upper branch.
Continue to head eastwards...
The Greenswathe
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Malboro, Diresaur, Great Malboro, Gargoyle, Treant
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is another split-off here. The top branch will lead to you
encounter a Diresaur (which is also weak against Wind). Defeat and grab
the contents of the treasure chests nearby. Proceed eastwards and you
will find that the place starts to snow...
Time to grab a jacket... (brrr...)

Warder is an upgraded version of Slaven-class while the Lizard is an

Proceed northwards. At the next area (Temple Approach), you will find
countless of refugees there. Talk to everyone there. Move forward to
th next area. There will be a FMV cutscene of the Mt. Bur-Omisace
Temple. Talk to the Kilitas standing in the gateway and you will be
given the following prompt:
o On Pilgrimage <-
o As Refugees
The option sounds better than the bottom option. You will find Acolytes
and people from Archadia here... Make your way to the Hall of Light.
You need to meet the leader of Kiltias - Gran Kiltias. Move up the
stairs and examine the giant door. Move along the carpted floor and
there will be a cutscene. You will meet Cid for the first time and a
huge event happen at the Empire...
Once the cutscene is over, you need to head south from the Paramina
Rift to the Stilshrine Of Miriam. Larsa will leave your party... Exit
Mt. Bur-Omisace and proceed to the Stilshrine.
Preparations
o Get the Storm Spear as it carries a Thunder-elemental attack which
will be pretty useful against the upcoming boss.
o Get Ice Shields for characters who is using 1-handed weapon
o Get Thief Cuffs for easier stealing so you can get more loot
o Get Golden Amulet for more LP gains.
o Get Shielded Armor for your leading characters as it has Auto-
Protect.

[4] Stilshrine Of Miriam
Your objective is heading towards south to the Stilshrine of Miriam.
To access that area, you need to go to Silverflow's end via the Spine
of the Icewyrm. The Karydine Glacier leads to the left area, which
leads a dead end.
Freezing Gorge
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: White Wolf, Skull Knight, Dark Skeleton
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kill off the white wolves with Thundara and make use of the Storm
Spear that you have gotten earlier. Occasionally, you will find Skull
Knights and Dark Skeletons sprouting from the ground. Just take them
down. They drop Sturdy Bones, which you can sell for 200+ gil. Just
take the right loop and proceed south-eastwards to the Frozen Brook.
Frozen Brook
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: White Wolf, Ice Elemental*, Skull Warrior, Lizard, Leshash
Entite*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Make sure you do not set any Gambits that is related to Foe: any. In
the area, you may find Elementals - they come in form of Ice Elemental
(~10000 HP) or Leshash Entite (~40000 HP). Do not attack them or you
will need to unleash your Mist Quickenings. Even at level 30, you will
still have difficulty defeating the Leshash Entite. Thus, do not
disturb them at all costs.
There are 3 exit pathways here. The northwest path leads to the
Icebound Flow, the southwest path leads to Path of the Firstfall and
southeast path leads to the Karydine Glacier. You will need to take
the southwest path. Below are the enemy summaries for the respective
areas.
Icebound Flow
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Skull Knight, Slaven Warder, Dark Skeleton, Bartitine Croc,
Yeti, Ice Elemental*, Leshash Entite*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Skull Knights can cast Tremor, which does Earth-elemental damage to
all allies (however you can negate that off with cast Float on your
characters). Dark Skeleton on the other hand can use Bone Toss and
Dark Magick. So kill them quick. They drop a lot of Sturdy Bones,
which could nab a decent price. There are 2 new enemies here -
Bartitine Croc and Yeti. Bartitine Croc are giant alligators and they
are weak against Water. You will know one is nearby when you have
hear the loud foot stomps. You can get Fine Wool, which also fetch you
a hefty price too. The Yeti are an upgraded class of the werewolves
and they are weak against Thunder. Slaughter them for Tanned
Giantskins. Treasure chest can found abundantly at the edges of the
terrarin. So make sure you explore... The southwest path leads to the
Feywood (which you will be visiting it later in the game) and the
southeast path leads to the Karydine Glacier.
Karydine Glacier
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Dark Skeleton, Bartitine Croc, White Wolf, Skull Warrior,
Ice Elemental*, Leshash Entite*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find white wolves, dark skeleton and skull warriors here.
Defeat them and you will get a lot of loot. There is another Bartitine
Croc. Defeat it and you can get Fine Wool, which can be sold for decent
amount of gil. The southwest path leads to the top-left area of
Silverflow's End where you can find Wild Onions, Slaven Warder and the
Yeti.
Path of the Firstfall
----------------------
There is a Save Crystal. Use it and proceed southwards.
Spine of Ice Wyrm
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Twintania, Garuda-Egi
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will encounter 2 new enemies - Twintania and Garuda-Egi. The
Twintania is weak against Lightning, so strike it down with Thundara.
Garuda-Egi are flying creatures but they are weak against Dark arcane
magick. So use it if your party is not equipped with flying weapons.
By the way, watch out for the traps along the pathway towards south.
Silverflow's End - West Area
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Emperor Aevis, Skull Warrior, Yeti, Slaven Warder, Wild Onion,
Dark Skeleton
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The area is divided into 2 areas. The northwest area can only be
accessed via the southwest path from the Karydine Glacier and there is
another Yeti there. In this southeast area, you will encounter a Yeti,
the Emperor Aevis & Dark Skeletons.

Vault of the Champion
Ward of Measure
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Redmaw, Zombie
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, this is the main hall of the Stilshrine. The pathway
leads to the other wards are being sealed by magicks. At the southend
of the area, there is a Way Stone. The middle of the area, there is a
Dawn of Pedestal. If you examine the pedestal and choose to touch it
without equipping the Dawn Shard on your party leader (for the
Japanese version, you must equip it on Ashe), you will force to fight
3x Zombies and you can fight them for infinite items!
Therefore to continue on with the story, equip the Dawn Shard on your
leader character (his/her MP will be zero). Examine the Pedestal of
Dawn and pick the top option. You will be teleported to the Ward of
Vetilation
Ward of Vetilation
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Miriam Guardian, Aevis Dragon, Miriam Facer
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you reached the area, you will forced to fight a Miriam Guardian
(it has around 6000 HP and you can't steal anything from it). If you
use non-wind elemental weapons, you will get only 600 HP at most. If
you use the Gladius, you can damage it for 1000 HP per attack. There
is a rare treasure under the trap. It is possible to grab it without
trigger the trap. (I got a Megalixir on my first play). Likewise, you
can also cast Oil and use Fira for triple damage. Oil works on all
the enemies here except for the bosses and Balloons.
Move forward and you will find 3 Dragon Aevis hovering around the
area. They are strong and tends to flock together. Use Blizzara for
all 3 characters and you will be able to toss them aside easily.
Proceed some more and you will find 2x Miriam Facer blocking your way.
Toss them aside Aero.
Walk of Torn Illusion
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Miriam Facer, Miriam Guardian x4
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Move up the pathway and you will face another Miriam Facer. The
statues at the side will be awaken as you move near them and they are
Miriam Guardian in disguise. Defeat all 4 of them.
Re-equip the Dawn Shard on the leader character. Examine the Dawn of
Pedestal and it will reveal the 2 hidden walkways at the Ward of
Vetilation. Return back to the Ward of Vetilation. Exit via one of the
walkways.
Ward of Revelation
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Crystalbug
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a Life Crystal (green) in the area. Examine it and it will
become the Crystalbug.
________________________________________________________________
Crystalbug LV ?? HP: ???? (~5000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Watera, Blizzara, Dark
The Crystalbug is strong against physical attacks and your best
attacks is using magicks. Just attack it as you will fight a
normal enemy and it will go down in no time...
You can steal a Feystone from it.
________________________________________________________________
Once the Crystalbug is defeated, the real Save Crystal will appear.
Disarm the Dawn Shard from your leader character or Ashe (for those
playing the Japanese version) as you don't need to equip it any more.
Proceed through the middle path.
Ward of Sword-King
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Blood Gigas, Miriam Guardian, Darkmare
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 2 Blood Gigas standing at the side of the walkway and they
are weak against Wind-elemental attacks. Use Aero or slain them with
the Gladius Knife. Move up and the statue in the middle will awake. It
is another Miriam Guardian. Defeat it. The north path is blocked by
an ancient door that is sealed by magick. Proceed south and you will
find 2 more Blood Gigas. Move onwards and you will find Darkmare (
similar to the first boss) and it has 10,000+ HP watch out for it.
Proceed down the stairs and there are another 2 more Blood Gigas.
Defeat them and examine the structure (Sword of Judgment). It will
unlock the magicks that sealed the door in the north area. Make your
way there and examine the ancient door to open it. There is a Way
Stone.
Ward of Measure
-------------------
Use it and you will be back at the first area since you come in the
Stilshrine. Exit the area and go to the Walk of Mind to use the Teleport
Crystal. Save your game. Return back to the Ward of Measure and use the
walkway at the left. Examine the Ancient Door.
Cold Distance
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Miriam Guardian x2
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 2 more Miriam Guardians here. Exit via the path on the left
Walk of Prescience
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Balloon, Facer, Zombie Warrior
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find pathway splits into 3. The middle path will lead to you
to fight Balloons (which are weak against Water, but Blizzara works
well against them). The south path, you will find some Facers, which
are weak against Wind. Beware of the bloody traps here.
Go to the north path and you will find a mix of Balloons and Facers.
Defeat them and move forward till you reached the Stone Brave. A pair
of Zombie Warriors awakes. Defeat them. Turn this Stone Brave till it
is facing eastwards.
Stone Braves
---------------
There are a total of 3 Stone Braves and you will need them to face the
main statue in the middle (which has already been raised due to the
use of Dawn Shard in the earlier stages).

o Do Nothing o Do nothing
Now exit via the southwest exit.
Walk of Reason
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Zombie Warrior, Ghoul, Facer, Balloon, Ghast
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This area is huge and looks very mazy. The Stone Brave is the middle.
The left side of the area, you will encounter mainly Zombie Warriors
or Ghouls. Move towards eastwards and open any Ancient Door as you
come to. Eventually, you will find the Stone Brave but it is heavily
guarded by Balloons and Facers. Use Aero (on Facers) and Blizzara on
Balloons to defeat the foes here. Rotate the Stone Brave till it is
facing north.
Now make your way out and head back to the first area where you first
entered the shrine.
Cold Distance
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Miriam Guardian x2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Slice the Miriam Guardian with your swords and attacks. Go to the next
area via the east exit.
Ward of Steel
------------------
Move down the stairs. Cast Haste, Protect and Regen on all your
characters. Examine the ancient door and you will be forced to fight a
sub-boss...
________________________________________________________________
Vinuskar LV ?? HP: ???? (~15,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Gnaw, Lunge, Sword Dance, Crown, Slow
You will get the following status - a magnetic field envelopes
the party. Your metallic equipment becomes heavy. If you equip
any heavy armor or swords, your character's action speed will go
down. You should have counter this if you cast Haste.
The boss typically employ physical attacks. Beware of Crown and
Sword dance which does heavy damage (400-600 HP if you do not
have Protect cast on the character). Crown also causes Confuse,
nullify it with Smelling Salts. If the boss cast slow, you
should be able to counter with the Gambit settings. Once the
boss' HP gets depleted to half, it will use the Sword Dance
attack. Heal your characters once their HP gets below 50%. Keep
up the fight and you should be able to defeat it.
Steal: Knot of Rust, Thief's Cuffs
LP: 19
________________________________________________________________
Now move forward and examine the Ancient Door at its rear. You will
find a Stone Brave there along with the Urn. Examine the urn first to
pick the map of the area and you will find 3 ! icons on the map. These
are the Stone Brave. The arrows pointing their current direction.
Pick the 2nd option and pick the 1st option to rotate clockwise and 2nd
option to rotate anticlockwise. Rotate the east Stone Brave till it is
facing west.
Return back to the Ward of Measure and take the path on the left.
Ward of Sword King
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Blood Gigas, Darkmare
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now make your way to the Ward of Sword King. You can use the Way
Stone to get there. Use the Save Crystal at Walk of Revelation. Cast
Protect, Haste, Shell and Regen on all particpating characters.
Re-use the Save Crystal again and go to the area where you find the
Sword of Judgment. Defeat all the enemies there first. Once all the
enemies has been killed make your way to the Ancient Door.
NOTE: Once you have activate the Colossus, you will no longer need to
battle the Miriam Guardians and Miriam Facers.
Pick the 2nd option and you will need to fight...
Hall of Worth
---------------
There will be some scenes and the environment will be freezing cold...
________________________________________________________________
Mateus LV ?? HP: ???? (~35,000)
Ice Azer A LV 25 HP: 2708
Ice Azer B LV 25 HP: 2708
Ice Azer C LV 25 HP: 2708
Ice Azer D LV 25 HP: 2708
Ice Azer E LV 25 HP: 2708
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Blizarja, Flash-Freeze, Cura, Protect, Reflect, Slow,
Chain Magick
Status: Protect, Shell
The Esper will start off by summoning the Ice Azer and these
small balls of ice can cast Blizzard thus helping the boss to
weaken you. First of all, cast Thundara on the Ice Azer while
your other 2 characters focus on attacking Mateus. Flash-Freeze
does around 500 HP damage to one ally. Once the boss' HP gets
below 50%, it will use Blizarja, which deal around 400~560 HP
to all characters. You can reduce the damage if you are equipped
with the Ice Shields. Blizarja will also occasionally causes Sap
status, cure it with Regen. Just use your normal attacks (if you
have the Storm Spear, it will makes the battle event more easier)
I normally attack the boss with Storm Spear. However, once Mateus
readies Blizarja, I change the character equipment and equip him/
her with an Ice Shield.
Steal: Pisces Gem, Ether
LP: 37 (Mateus), 5 (Ice Azer x5)
________________________________________________________________
After the battle is over, the Esper Mateus, the Corrupt will joins
you and it will
