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.

Walk of Sky

Go pass the *long* walkpath and make your way towards north. *gasps*

There is a Gate Crystal here. Better use it. There are 3 Kiltias
here. Talk to everyone there. Examine the Ancient Door and you will
be entering the Stilshine of Miriam. Before moving on, here is a

Water for all characters
o Cura and Curaga for all characters
o Setup the following Gambits on all characters

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...

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 appears on the License Board!
Vault of The Champion
-----------------------
Move all the way up. There will be a cutscene and you will get the
Sword of Kings key item. Like the Dawn Shard, it can also be equipped
as a weapon too. Now you need to make your way back Mt. Bur-Omisace.
Make your way to Ward of Sword King. Use the Way Stone to teleport
your party to the Ward of Measure area. Exit via the northern Ancient
Door. You can use the Gate Crystal to make your way back to Mt.
Bur-Omisace.
There are 2 ways - by foot or use the Gate Crystal.

There will be some scenes and you will fight...
________________________________________________________________
Judge Bergan LV ?? HP: ???? (~16,000)
Judge A LV 29 HP: 3179
Judge B LV 29 HP: 3179
Judge C LV 29 HP: 3179
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Battle Cry, Lunge, (Combo Attack), Kick, Counter
Status: Protect, Shell
Judge Bergan has a couple of strong combo attacks and has a
tendency to focus attacking on one of your characters. Cast
Haste to start off the battle. If you have the Blood Sword, make
sure you use it to attack Bergan so you can inflict the Sap
status on him. Poison works well on the boss too. Finished off
the 3 Judges first then focus your attacks on Bergan. Set the
following 2 Gambits on your characters:
o Ally: status = HP Critical > Hi-Potion
o Ally: HP <50% > Cura
Once Bergan's HP gets low, he will use Battle Cry, which will
further raises his normal attacks. Make sure that your
characters have Protect on otherwise they will take around 400~
600 HP damage from Bergan. Finish it off with style using the
Mist Quickening
Steal: Hi-Potion, Ruby Ring
LP: 20 (Bergan), 3 (Judge x3)
________________________________________________________________
After Bergan has fall, you will meet with Al-Cid and you will need to
get to Archades. You can get there by foot via the Nalbina fortess
through the Mosphoran Highwaste.
Temple Grounds
---------------
Once the scenes are over, you will be back at the Temple Grounds. Talk
to Acolyte and you will get the Stone of the Condemner.
Now you need to get Nalbina Fortess, which is located northeast off
Rabanastre. By the way, the shop owners at Mt. Bur-Omisace are selling

There are a lot of ways to get to Nalbina. In fact, you can use the

Either way, below is an optional chapter. I suggest you to do it since
it is very important to go prepared for the upcoming events.

In the mines...
----------------
As mentioned earlier, there are 2 ways that you can get to the Mines.
You can go there by using a Chocobo from Jahara or use the Teleport
Crystal.
Using the Gate Crystal
----------------------------
From the Staging Shaft area, move southeast to Crossover B (beware
of the Tyranorox here) and head towards the Pithead Junction B. Set the
following Gambit on all character and place it on the top.
Foe: any -> Fira
Activate the switch and Jellies will drop and they come in bunches from
14 to 20 of them. After you have toast them for jellybean soup, make
your way to Pithead Junction A. Activate the switch and you will be able
enter the right-hand side of the shaft. Defeat the Seeker & Redmaw bats
there. Switch to the other party and approach the Urn. The mark will
make its appearance.
________________________________________________________________
Ixtab LV ?? HP: ???? (~26,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Doom, Watera, Dark, Death, Poison, Blind
This hunt is rather dangerous as it could cast Doom. Doom cannot
be removed using Esuna as you need to use Remedy with Remedy
Lore 3 license acquired. Just keep on attacking if you will be
able to defeat it in no time. It is weak against Holy as it is
an undead creature. However casting Raise on it, won't work...
By the way, you can Silence it.
Steal: Dark Crystal, Book of Organ-Mille
LP: 12
________________________________________________________________
Exit the mines (you need to activate the switch again). Now make your
way out of the mines. Talk to Wayward Chocobo and pick top option to
ride. Ride the Chocobo towards west (note the Chocobo footprints on
ground) and you will be able to get to Haulo Green in a jifty!
Make your way to Jahara - Elderknoll. Talk to Zayalu to claim your
bounty. You will get 1300 gil, 1x Ether and 1x Soul Powder for your
efforts. Save your game and teleport back to Rabanastre.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.11 - Ring Wyrm
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Rabanastre - North Sprawl
---------------------------
Go to the Lowtown - North Sprawl. Go to the southeast area and talk to
Balzac, the hume who is sitting on the crate or the person who you give
the Sword of Order. Now the hunts for Ring Wyrm begins! By the way,
merchants are selling new items. By the way, hope you remember that you
are not supposed to open the chest that is front of Old Dalan's
Residence or you will miss the strongest weapon in the game...

If you did not talk to Balzac, you won't be able to access the Wyrm's
Nest. Throughout the area, the most of the monsters you have already
encountered before however, there are few monsters that you need to
take note off.
Dive Talon
------------
These gigantic birds are friendly foes and they won't attack you unless
you disturb them. They give 2 LP for defeating them
Sleipnir
---------
The Sleipnir is a rare monster in Giza Plains during the Dry season and
they will appear commonly in Dalmasca Westersand
Gnoma Entite
-------------
When the place got hit with a sandstorm, you will see a gigantic glow
elemental. That's the Gnoma Entite. It is on a friendly status. Do not
disturb it.
Windtrace Drunce
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Alraune, Sleipnir, Wolf, Dive Talon, Alpha Wolf
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The place is with smoke because the prescene of the Ring Wyrm. It is
found at the southeast area of the larger area. You can access that
only via The Midfault. By the way, it has a lot of HP...
________________________________________________________________
Ring Wyrm LV ?? HP: ???? (~45,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Rake, Breath, Immbolizega, Restore
Notes: Protect
Absorbs: Water
Start off by casting Haste on your party and Slow on the boss.
The Ring Wyrm is a huge dragon and it can cause Breath, which
does Fire-elemental damage to all characters that are within its
firing range. Its Rake ability has the ability to confuse your
party members. So set the following Gambit:
Ally: status = Confuse -> Smelling Salts.
There is a 1/4 chance that the Ring Wyrm's Breath attack inflict
Sap status on your characters. Cast Regen to counter it. Once the
boss' HP has depleted to 1/3, it will use Restore will bring its
HP back to 3/4. The boss has also a tendency to cast Immbolizega,
which can cause a great problem as your characters are unable to
move. You can remove the status by using a Remedy (with Remedy
Lore 1 learnt). However to prevent it from happening, just
switch your accessory to Jackboots when the boss readies to use
Immbolizega.
Steal: Phoenix Down, Hi-Potion
LP: 16
________________________________________________________________
Once you defeat the boss, you defeat the Mark. You should achieve the
rank - Ward of Justice. Now head southwest and make your way to The
Western Divide. Use the Gate Crystal there and make your way
back to Rabanastre.
Rabanastre - Muthru Bazaar & North End
---------------------------------------
Use Moogling and go to Muthru Bazaar. The Clan Provisioner will be
selling an additional Magick - Bubble for 3300 gil. Make sure you get
it as it can doubles your character's HP for only 32 MP. Now go to
pay Montblanc a visit - You will get 2x X-Potions and 2x Teleport
Stone for achieving the rank!
Lowtown - North Sprawl
-----------------------
Now go to Lowtown. Talk to Balzac and claim your bounty - 200 gil,
Moon Ring and the Icebrand sword. Make your way back to Rabanstre -
Southgate.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.12 - Feral Retriever
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Stock some Gold Needles or have your characters acquire Stona if you
have gotten the White Magick yet.
Teleport to Mt. Bur-Omisace. Talk to Hymms, the Kiltia next to the
Chocobo Ranch (or behind the Seeq item vendor). Now it is time to
venture the freezing cold mountains again...

There are 2 choices of getting to fight the Feral Retreiver. If you
are an adventurer, go the Paramina Rift and kill the monsters to get
some loot. Make your way to Path of Firstfall and use the Save Crystal.
Or you can use the Gate Crystal to teleport your party to the
Stilshrine of Miriam. Move northwards from there.
Spine of the Icewyrm
----------------------
The Mark is near the exit which leads to the Path of Firstfall. It will
be your best interest to defeat the Garuda-Egi first if you are going
through the Stilshrine of Miriam. The Feral Retriever is couerl-type
monster...
________________________________________________________________
Feral Retriever LV ?? HP: ???? (~20,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Stone Gaze, Rake, Blaster, Mind Lash
Notes: Shell, Faith
The Feral Retriever is a gigantic couerl and it has the ability
to stone your characters with its Stone Gaze. Once all 3
characters are being stoned, it will be an automatic gameover.
Although it does not have much strong defense, it is capable of
inflicting nasty status ailments with its Blaster - which causes
Sleep, Silence, Slow, Confuse & Blind. Hence, have the Esuna
spell or Remedy (with Remedy Lore 1 acquired) will be good
enough. Just don't get too close to the Garuda-Egi or you will
have to fight that as well. As a couerl beast, so freeze it with
Ice magicks. The Ice Brand comes handy for this fight...
Steal: Pebble, Quality Pelt
LP: 14
________________________________________________________________
Now return back to the Mt. Bur-Omisace, you can go back the freezing
cold weather to hike your way back to mountain peak or go the
Stilshrine of Miriam and use the Gate Crystal. I will go for the
Stilshrine as along the way there, you can fight the Emperor Aevis...
Mt. Bur-Omisace - Sand-strewn Pass

Rustling Chapel
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Couerl, Hellhound, Diresaur, Dark Skeleton
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Vorpal Bunny is not a tough cookie to crack but you will have
problems with the enemies in the area. The Hellbound does around 300
HP damage to each character (even if equipped with the Shielded
Armor) and can easily kill low HP characters. Make use of Blind green
magick to cause it to miss it attacks. Sleep also works on the
hellhound. When you are approach one, you will see a blue glowing
energy. The objective here is avoid the Hellhounds and avoid killing
all the enemies here. If you kill all the enemies here, you will be
forced to infinite amount of Dark Skeletons here (and they have an
average level of LV37).
On the east route is safe to fight the Vorpal Bunny or you will be
forced to fight the Hellhounds, which is very dangerous to fight them
in group.
The Vorpal Bunny is located at the middle area of the Rustling Chapel.

________________________________________________________________
Vorpal Bunny LV ?? HP: ???? (~25,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Lunge, Shell, Reflect, Restore
Notes: Protect
I don't consider this Mark tough but it is *very good* and
running away and chasing it may cause you to end up the pray of
Hellhounds or Couerls. The objective is to kill all the Couerl
first (hopefully, that you don't expense too much MP). Once you
spot the Vorpal Bunny, use your Mist Quickening hopefully you
will be kill it in one attack. It will definitely require a 10
hit or more Mist Quickening to finish this Mark off (lesser if
you got Rank 3 Quickenings)
Steal: Drab Wool, Hi-Potion
LP: 16
________________________________________________________________
Upon the defeat of the Vorpal Bunny, you will get the Rabbit's Tail
key item. Now make your way back to Eruyt Village. Switch to your
reserve characters if your current party is low on HP/MP. Once you
get back to The Needbrake, take the east route as the west route are
mostly infested with Hellhounds. By the way, your Clan Rank has risen
to Brave Companion! (If you have followed the walkthrough from the
beginning)
Back at the Eruyt Village, make your way back to the place where you
find Nera there. There will be a cutscene between Nera and Aljn. You
will get your bounty - 2000 gil, Lightning Arrows and Gillie Boots as
your prize.
Now teleport your way back to Rabanastre.
Rabanastre - North End
------------------------
Pay our pal Montblanc a visit and you will get some rewards for the
midnight oil that you have burned earlier :) - Hi-Ether x2, Teleport
Stone x3. A new hunt for the Carrot (Rank VII) will be available and
a piece of good news - Krjn the viera will joins you when you go for
that hunt!
If you check out with the Clan Provisioner at the Muthru Bazaar, you
can buy the Faith green magick for 5800 gil!
Now it's time to go the Giza Plains for some unfinished business...

Before you can continue for the hunt, you need to chop down all the six
withered trees that scattered across the whole of the plains. Below are
the breakdown and descriptions of the locations.
Withered Tree #1 - Throne Road
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Hyena, Gigantoad
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The withered tree is located near the entrance way to the village. It
is the south of the area.
Withered Tree #2 - Gizas North Bank
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Ichthon, Great Tortoise, Gigantoad, Hyena
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is located near the northern banks of the area. You will also find
Ichthon there usually.
Withered Tree #3 - Nomad Village
----------------------------------
The tree is located near the place where you find the fences (where
Diana used to rear her Cockatrices there).
Withered Tree #4 - Toam Hills
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Mardu Entite, Hyena, Gigantoad, Wooly Gator, Ichthon
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The tree is located near southeast corner of the area. You will
encounter Ichthon nearby. It is close to the exit leading to the
Starfall Field area.
Withered Tree #5 - Starfall Field
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Hyena, Gigantoad, Wooly Gator, Ice Elemental, Mardu Entite
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The tree is located near the entranceway that leads to the Toam Hills.
You can find a trap nearby it.
Withered Tree #6 - Crystal Glade
----------------------------------
The tree is located behind the Dark Crystal, which is also near Nanau.
You can miss it. Use the Save Crystal.
Once you have chopped down all the trees you will hear a light chime.
Go to the Gizas South Bank. A hidden path will appear at the southeast
area of the screen.
Tracks of the Beast
---------------------
Once at the Beast of Marks, there will be a cutscene and Bansat will
joins you automatically. You will find Silicon Tortoise theres when it
not raining heavily. First of all kill off the Silicon Tortoises first
for Aged Turtle Shells. Once they are finished, exit and re-enter the
screen...
Once you enter it when there is heavy rain, Bansat will ask you to
attack it!
________________________________________________________________
Gil Snapper LV ?? HP: ???? (~40,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Blizzara, Disablega, Flatten, Flash
Notes: Protect, Shell, Haste
The Gil Snapper is not tough but like the Ring Wyrm it has a lot
of HP. It is vulnerable to Silence and Immobilize. So make use
of long range attacks to deal blows from far. Bansat has a lot
of useful abilities such as healing status such as removing Blind
with Eye Drops. But make sure someone is equipped with the Black
Belt so that you are protect against Disablega. With Silence, the
boss' attacking power will be greatly reduced. If you attempt to
steal, you can get a *lot* of gil. So equipp your thief with
Thief's Cuffs before switching to Black Belt later. As the Gil
Snapper is approaching critical, all your attacks deal to it will
be halved. Hence to speed up the kill and with style, unleash

Ice elemental attacks. Equip your character with the Storm Spear

LP: 20
________________________________________________________________
After the battle is over, the silent urn will draws the spirit of the
Rain Lord. As the rains in the Plains will usually depend on the
prescence of Storm Elemental and Mardu Entite, you will likely to
encounter one when you exit. So do not disturb it and make your way
towards the Crystal Glade or you can just switch to your reserve
party. Remember to search the southeast corner end and you will find
an urn for a key item - Feathers of the Flock. You will need for a
future side-quest, when you get back to the Dry Season.
Now make your way back to Crystal Glade. It will be left only with
the Soggy letter. You can only collect your prize once the dry season
returns...
If you check the Notice Board at the Sandsea Tavern, you will find
the following posts for Hunts are available:
- Bloodwing (Rank V)
- Roblon (Rank VI)

First of all, you need to complete the following optional Hunts for
the following Marks:
o Flowering Cactoid [please refer to Section 02-16]
o Nidhogg [Please refer to Section 02-21]
You should have the the following items as well:
o Cactus Flower key item
o Great Serpentskin loot item (not compulsory but extra goodies) -
hopefully you did not sell it.
Remember Dantro ask you to pass the Cactus Flower to his wife who
resides in South Bank Village in the northern region of the Dalmasca
Estersand. Make your way to village. It should be on the north off the
Banks of Nebra.
South Bank Village
---------------------
Now make your way to South Bank Village. You can use the Gate Crystal
to teleport there if you have visited there earlier. It will be read
as the Dalmasca Estersand Gate Crystal.
Here is a recap of the items sold by the unlucky merchant:
Unlucky Merchant
Accessories Items
---------------------------- -----------------------------
Bangle 500 gil Potion 70 gil
Steel Gorget 1500 gil Antidote 50 gil
Armguard 800 gil Eye Drops 50 gil
Tourmaline Ring 300 gil Phoenix Down 250 gil
Gauntlets 1200 gil Echo Herbs 50 gil
Battle Harness 1000 gil
The house is just behind the spot where you find the unlucky merchant.
Talk to the lady standing in front of the house (Dantro's Wife). Talk
to her and you will give the Cactus Flower in exchange for a Bunch of
Needles. Now exit and re-enter the village.
You will find Dantro's Wife and the villager elder in front of the
river banks. Talk to Tchigri and there will be a cutscene. You will be
invited to go the North Bank Village and pick the top option to set
sail for the North Bank Village!
North Bank Village
---------------------
There will be some events. (Geez... people held hostages by cactoids
that are half of their size !?) Talk to Ruksel (Tchigri's dad) and
there will be some scenes (o_O). You will set sail back to South Bank
Village.
South Bank Village
---------------------
Back at South Bank Village, talk to Dantro's wife. Search the back of
her house (it is near the Gate Crystal) and you will find a "Dran?"
marker. Examine it and it will trigger a cutscene! The cactoid will
follow Vaan! Talk to Tchigri and pick the top option to set sail for
the North Bank Village.
North Bank Village
---------------------
Move to the large flowering cactoid and there will be a dancing
cactoid scene... You will get 1,000 gil and 1x Wyrmfire Shot. Before
making your way back feel free to venture in the Yoma area

The Yoma
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Worgen, Cactoid, Ichthon, Brown Chocobo, Dive Talon, Wild
Saurian
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Take note of the Wild Saurian here. It is a foe not an ally. But you
can weaken it by using Blind + Poison green magick combo. The Dive
Talon are abundent here and you can get Giant Feathers from there.
The Worgens are a stronger version of the wolf where you will encounter
it later in the game. The west route leads to the Wyrm's Nest in
Dalmasca Westersand (Do not head there unless you intend to fight a
tough optional boss)
Broken Sands
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Worgen, Dive Talon, Wild Saurian, Slaven Wilder
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Along the pathway, you will find Worgens and Dive Talons. Beware of
the Wild Saurian and Slaven Wilder at the rear. Slaven Wilder are
friendly creatures but do not hestiate to fight them as they are
very vulnerable to sleep and you can get Tanned Giantskin by stealing
or poaching them. Like the previous screen, this Wild Saurian is also
an unfriendly one. North from here is Mosphoran Highwaste. But I won't
recommend you to go there for now...
North Bank Village
---------------------
Return back to North Bank Village. Talk to Cartographers' Guild (moogle)
and you will be able to buy the Map for Mosphoran Highwaste for 2400
gil! Once you are ready to go back, talk to Tchigri to go back to the
South Bank Village. He will tell it will normally cost you gil for the
ferry hitch. But you are getting it free...
South Bank Village
---------------------
Talk to Dantro's Wife and she will request you to get some Semclam
shells, which can be found on the shores of River Nebra. Search for a
mysterious glint at the shores.
Here is the location of all Semclam Shells.
o West end of the shore (South Bank Village)
o East end of the shore (South Bank Village)
o West end of river bank in Banks of Nebra
o Northwest end of river bank in Banks of Nebra
o Northeast end of river bank in Banks of Nebra
Please note that you will be giving her the Semclam Shells once you
talked to Dantro's wife. You need a minimum 1 Semclam shells to proceed
onto the next task.
Talk to her again and she will requets to get Nebralim, which can be
obtained Dantro's Outpost.
Make your way to the Outpost (ugh). There is no shortcut here. No
Chocobos for you ride too... Make your way southwards by foot. Press
SELECT to activate the map to assist you.
Outpost
---------
Search the crates and jars for a small glowing orange crystal. Examine
it and it will say "Small Phial"
Here are the locations of all the Nebralims
o The jar found at the stack of crates west off Dantro
o The jar found behind the Chocobo
Now make your way back to the South Bank Village... (I miss Chocobos *_*)
South Bank Village
--------------------
Talk to Dantro's Wife. You need a minimum 1 Nebralim to proceed onto the
next task. You will now to gather some Valeblossom Dew, which can be
found at the Broken Sands area. Talk to Tchgri to set sail for North
Bank Village.
From the North Bank Village, take the north exit from there and you will
reach The Yoma area. Continue to head northwards and you will reach the
Broken Sands
Broken Sands
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Worgen, Dive Talon, Wild Saurian, Slaven Wilder
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Make your way up the cliffs and head for the middle section. Search
for Weathered Rock. Examine and your party leader will knock the rock
down. You will be able to examine the flowers for a "Mysterious Glint
item. Examine it and you will get Valeblossom Dew.
(Observe carefully on the map and there is a small loop there)
There are a total of 3x Valeblossom Dew for you to retrieve...
- The Valeblossom flowers are in the middle of the area. You need to
search the flowers from 3 angles. One of the dew can be obtained
from top angle where you drop the rock and the other dews can be
access after you have dropped the rock. You just need a minimum 1
Valeblossom Dew to finish the event.
Please take note of raging Wild Saurian. Cast Sleep + Poison + Blind
to make it shut its jaw up. Make your way back to the North Bank
Village. Talk to Tchgri & pick the top option to return back to South
Bank Village.
South Bank Village
--------------------
Talk to Dantro's Wife and you will pass her all the Valeblossom Dew
that you have collected. You need a minimum 1 Valeblossom Dew to give
it complete the quest. Upon giving her the Valeblossom Dews, she will
request for you to give her the Great Serpentskin. Give it to her by
picking the top option.
Exit and return to the village. Talk to the Recovering traveler (a
moogle), who is at the back of Dantro's wife. You will get the Barheim
Key item!
You will get either one of the following treasures based on the loot
that you have gotten and pass to Dantro's Wife. These are the minimum
requirements.
o--------------------------------------------------------------------o
| Golden Amulet | Magick Gloves | Balance Mote |
o--------------------------------------------------------------------o
| Great Serpentskin x1 | Semclam Shell x2 | Great Serpentskin x1 |
| Semclam Shell x5 | Valeblossom Dew x2 | Semclam Shell x1 |
| Nebralim x2 | Nebralim x2 | Nebralim x1 |
| Valeblossom Dew x3 | Great Serpentskin x1 | Valeblossom Dew x1 |
o--------------------------------------------------------------------o
From the summary, it seems that you need to have the Great Serpentskin
in order to get the reward. If you do not have the Great Serpentskin,
you will get only the Barheim Key.
It is possible to do some of the quests now. But I would wait till
later as you will be able to get better magicks and equipment, which
can help you a lot for those battles...

If you have been observant when using the walkthrough, I have been
telling to avoid the Zertinan Caverns. This is because there is an
Esper hidden there and it is not a pushover...
There are a total of 5 entrances to the Zertinan Caverns
o From the Westersand - Shimmering Horizons (nearest path via
Western Dalamasca Gate Crystal at The Western Divide)
o From Ogir-Yensa Sandsea
- via East Junction
(nearest Gate Crystal - Ogir-Yensa at Yensa Border Tunnel)
- via Central Junction
(nearest Gate Crystal - Ogir-Yensa at Yensa Border Tunnel)
--> This will also lead to the unaccessible area in Nam-Yensa
Sandsea
o From Nam-Yensa Sandsea - Yellow Sands
(nearest Gate Crystal - Tomb of Raithwall - Valley of the Dead)
o From Ozmone Plains - The Switchback
(nearest Gate Crystal - Jahara - Bank of the Sogoht)

[Map] Map Area
[E] Esper Adrammelech
The best route to fight Esper Adrammelech is to go through the route
along Dalmasca Westersand. You need go through the following areas -
1) Invitation to Hersey
2) Sandfalls
3) Hourglass Basin
4) Athroza Quicksands
Generally, you need to bypass the 3 areas before you will reach the
Athroza Quicksands. First of all, you need to get the following stuffs
and equipment. All these stuff are compulsory if you intend to venture
around the whole of Zertinan Caverns.
o 50x Hi-Potions, 50x Phoenix Downs, 20x Remedies, 20x Smelling Salts,
20x Alarm Clock, 20x Antidotes, 20x Eye Drops, 20x Chronos Tear,
20x Echo Herbs, Gold Needle x20
o Ruby Rings x3 (do not equip now)
o Rank III Quickenings for each character (include reserves)
o Black Magick
Blizzara, Thundara, Fira Black Magicks
o White Magick
- Curaga, Cura, Raise, Regen, Blindna, Poisona, Vox, Dispel (get it
from Nalbina)
o Green Magick
- Blind, Oil, Silence, Sleep, Shell, Protect
o Arcane Magick
- Bubble
o Charge Technick
o Haste
o Magick Channelling with all 3 Lores learnt
o Acquired all HP Plus Lore (each character should have around 2500HP
at LV40)
o Remedy with all 3 Lores learnt
o Potion Lores with 3 levels learnt
o Phoenix Lores with 3 levels learnt
o Range weapons for your characters. You can get better ammunition if
you purchase via Bazaar Goods. Please refer to Sect 10-01 for more
details.
Gambit Setup (before fighting Adrammelech)
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Ally: HP <30% -> Cura
o Ally: HP status = Critical -> Curaga
o Ally: status = Confuse -> Smelling Salts
o Ally: status = Sleep -> Alarm Clock
o Ally: status = Slow -> Haste
o Ally: status = Stop -> Chronos Tear
First of all, use the Gate Crystal and teleport to Dalmasca Westersand.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Via Dalmasca Westersand
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Teleport to Dalmsaca Westersand and get to the Shimmering Horizons
area. Press SELECT and refer to the in-game map for more assistance.
Invitation to Hersey
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Slime, Speartongue
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The area got a lot of branches and the twisting and turning is making
my mind spin. You will find flan-like creatures called Slime and along
with Speartongues, the enemies that you have encounter in Nam-Yensa
Sandsea, which are weak against Fire. If you have the Monographs, you
can have the Speartongue dropping Frog Oil...
Sandfalls
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Buer, Gorgimera
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Things will start to get tougher here. Make sure you cast Blind/Sleep,
on every single enemy you see here in this battlefield. This is to
prevent the enemies attacking as a group.
You will find gargoyle-like creatures - Buer and cockatrice-like
creatures - Gorgimera. The Buers are weak against Thunder. So cast
Thundara when 2 or more Buers flocked together. The Gorgimera are weak
against Water. Blizzara magick works against it well too. If the
Gorgimera inflicts Stone Gaze, use Stona to remove the petrify
status. The right route leads to a dead end. Now go to the left path
and make your way pass the trap towards the next area.
Hourglass Basin
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Buer, Grenade
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a boulder in front of it. Examine it and it will create a
path for you. The north route leads to an isolated chest in the
Sandfalls area. The left path will lead to the central area where you
will fight the Esper. From the save crystal, there is a hidden route,
which will not be uncovered on the map. If you go along the winding
path, you will find Grenades, where you can steal Bomb Shells from
them. But I won't recommend you to fight them unless you cast Bubble
on your party first before you head there or you can cast Sleep on
them before you fight them...
Kill all the Buers first before heading southeast.
The Undershore
----------------
There is a Save Crystal here. Save your game. Go out and kill the Buer,
that will be left in the area. Now return and doing the following in
this order. (Do not reset and the following must be done immediately)
Cast Regen, Protect, Shell, Haste and Bubble for each character that
you are going to bring to the party. (in that order)
Equip Thief' Cuffs on the party leader (for those who intend to steal
from Adrammelech but remember to equip the Ruby Ring once the theft is
done) and Ruby Rings for the other 2 character. Switch your weaponary
to ranged weapons (e.g. bow and arrows). Use the following Gambit
Setup:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Now return back to Hourglass Basin and make your way to the path on
the left.
Athroza Quicksands
--------------------
The radar will start to rattle and you won't be able to use. Head
further west and there will be a cutscene and you will see
Adrammelech! It is an Esper fight...
________________________________________________________________
Adrammelech LV ?? HP: ???? (~40,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Thundara, Flash-Arc, Thundaja, Bleed
Notes: Shell, Haste, Protect
Have your character with the Thief's Cuffs steal from the Esper.
You will see enemies (Shambling Corpse) start to sprout from the
ground, thus making the battle even more difficult.
Once you have stolen the loot, change to the accessory for that
character to Ruby Ring. The reasons for having Ruby Rings are
that the Shambling Corpses can cast nasty area spells such as
Watera, Aerora, Fira, Blizzara and Thundara. Any lightning-type
magicks will heal Adrammelech but they will most likely use
other spells. Thus having the Ruby Ring is a must when you go
through this area. Other than that, the Shambling Corpse can
use Cloying Breath which could cause a series of nasty status.
That why I choose to counter one of the statuses with a Remedy.
The Shambling Corpse deals around 100+ HP per attack but its
magicks won't harm you will be reflected back to it thus
attacking the caster three times (!).
The boss has a couple of dangerous attacks:
- Bleed - arcane magick that inflict heavy damage on one
character and causing Sap
- Thundara - Average lightning magick on all allies
- Thundaja - Heavy lightning magick to all targets + Sap/Stop
- Flash-Arc - Non-elemental damage on all allies (1000+ HP)
As this battle is not a place where you can fight at your own
sweet time, it is best to finish the battle fast. Unleash your
Mist Quickenings (that's why the emphasis on healing is
dependent on using Hi-Potions). If you are lucky, you will be
able to able to kill Adrammelech in one shot. If you are unlucky,
you will need to attack him with your ranged weaponary. It will
need to have at least a 14~15-hit Mist Quickening to kill off
Adrammelech... There will be a time when Adrammelech will be
immune to magick and mist attacks. First of all, dispel off
Adrammelech positive status. Try to get your party to get close
to each other. Cast Blizzara on your party and it will be
reflected back on Adrammelech for 3 times!
It is possible for Adrammelech to immune to magicks at one point
of time, so use attacks/technicks if that happens. Please note
that Quickenings will also won't work during that time! Once it
is over, unleash your Quickenings. Otherwise your Bubble won't
last long...
Steal: High Arcana, Pebble, Capricorn Gem
LP: 40
________________________________________________________________
After Adrammelech has fallen, the Wroth will joins your party. Now
escape from the battlefield if you do not want to see your Hi-Potions
suck dry. Go back eastwards (press SELECT to bring the map to assist
you). Make your way back to Save Crystal.
You will be able to learn license to summon Adrammelech. Now exit
Zertinan Cavern and go back to Dalmasca Westersand.
The following steps are for those who want to further explore the
Caverns.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Via Ogir-Yensa Sandsea
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, you have been here before. Now you need to venture into the
Zertinan Caverns via either the East Junction or Central Junction.
o-- Via the East Junction --o
The Balamka Fruit
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Slime, Scythe Mantis
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The east path will lead to a dead end (Sandfalls). Along the walkway,
you will encounter Slime. Please note the Slimes are capable of using
Divide, which can make replicas of itself thus giving you more to
slain
Next you will encounter a pretty dangerous enemy - Scythe Mantis. Cast
Blind on it before you attack it. Make use of Blood Sword's sap and
Poison Green Magick works well against it. Use Icebrand sword to
inflict more damage. The southeast exit leads to the Sandfalls.
Sandfalls
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Scythe Mantis, Buer, Gorgimera
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You encounter the dangerous Scythe Mantis again. Cast Blind on it
before you engage battle against it. Cast Blizzara and you will be
able to defeat all 3. It is possible for Scythe Mantis to combine into
1 stronger Scythe Mantis by using Cannabalize ability. Hence watch out
out for it.
Examine the boulder and you will be able to move further. Examine the
2nd boulder and you will be able to fight Buer and Gorgimera that you
have encounter when you enter via the Dalmasca Westersand. Make your
way back to Balamka Fruit area.
The Balamka Fruit
-------------------
You will re-encounter Scythe Mantis. Use Blind + Poison + Oil -> Fira
combo to finish them off. Head west from The Balamka Fruit area.
Drybeam Cavern
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Bogey, Skulwyrm, Buer, Silicon Tortoise
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here you will encounter some more deadly monsters.
Bogey
------
Just cast Raise/or use a Phoenix Down to kill them off.
Skulwyrm
---------
There are a total of 3 of them in this area and each of them has
around 13000+ HP. They are weak against Holy but curative magick does
not hurt them yet healing them. Cast Silence, Poison and Oil on it.
Attack with Fira and you will be able to wipe it without much
difficulty. It is highly recommended to have one character stay as the
primary healer.
Silicon Tortoise
------------------
They drop Aged Turtle Shell, which can be sold for ~1000 gil per piece.
They are primary weak against Fire. So use Oil-Fira combo against it.
Just burn it up for turtle soup :) (*burps*)
Head towards the northwest area.
Darkened Wharf
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Bogey, Gorgimera, Buer, Slime
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will encounter some deadly Bogeys. Just run pass them first. After
its teleportation and it reveal itself for the second time, cast Raise
or use Phoenix Down to avoid time wasting. Cast Blind any other
enemies that approaches and attack your party.
At the northeast area, you will encounter more easier enemies like
Slime and Speartongue. If you continue northwest, you will end up in
the Nam-Yensa Sandsea. Make your way back to Drybeam Cavern.
Head eastwards from there and make your way to Balamka Fruit.
The Balamka Fruit
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Archaeoaevis, Gorgimera
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Archaeoaevis is werid enemy and it helps to attack other enemies!
But it is weak against Ice elemental. Use Blizzara to inflict damage
on both. Add more Ice to freeze them further :) Again, cast Blind on
any enemies that you encounter in this area.
You will find the urn containing the map of Zertinan Caverns here. If
you head south, you will find the radar starts to get zapped.. it
means you are getting near to something. Go there if you want to
roast any Shambling Corpses. Make sure your party are equipped with
Ruby Rings when you go to that area.
Make your way back and exit via the Nam-Yensa Sandsea.
The objective of this area is to get to unlock the pathway for
Dalmasca Westersands so you can make use of the Save Crystal at
the southeast region.
o-- Via the Central Junction --o
Canopy of Clay
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Slime, Speartongue
---------------------------------------------------------------------
As you go down the pathway, you will be ambushed by Slimes. At the
winding junction, you encounter Speartongues. Beware of the trap that
is in the upper path. Examine the southwest corner and you will find
a boulder. Examine it and you will create a path connecting to the
Darkened Wharf. Make all the way up and you will be able to access
the isolated area in Nam-Yensa Sandsea where you can't access
previously.
Nam-Yensa Sandsea - Withering Sandsea
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Bagoly
--------------------------------------------------------------------
You will fight a group of Bagoly where you can chain them for good
experience point and LP. There is a rare treasure (Rose Corsage) at
the end of the path. Beware of the trap that is directly in front
of the chest.
Return and make your way back to the Canopy of Clay. Make your way
towards the path that you create by knocking down the boulder to
Darkened Wharf.
Darkened Wharf
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Bogey, Buer, Slime, Gorgimera
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Northwest of the path will leads to the Nam-Yensa Sandsea. The
monsters here are generally the same ones that you have encountered
earlier. Cast Blind on Buer and Gorgimera before you engage combat
with them. The southeast path will lead to the Drybeam Cavern.
Drybeam Cavern
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Silicon Tortoise, Buer, Gorgimera, Skulwyrm
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In the area you will find more Buers and Gorgimera. But watch for
the Skulwyrm. Please refer to earlier strategy. Before you head
southeast, make your party has full HP. Cast Bubble and Regen on
all characters. Equip all characters with Ruby Rings.
Athroza Quicksands
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Shambling Corpse
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Adrammelech is no longer here, but the radar is still
malfunctioning and Shambling Corpses will continue to spawn and cast
dangerous magicks on your party. With Ruby Ring and status fixing
Gambits, you will be able to head south unhurt...
The Undershore
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Mallicant
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Disarm the Ruby Rings.
In this area, there is a new enemy - Mallicant (similar enemy to the
first boss and has the ability to teleport). It is immune to Blind
but Silence is more useful considering these enemy uses magicks more
often will be more useful. Watch for Snake Lash which deals quite an
amount of damage and sometimes, causing Confuse. If you use my
Gambits setup, this area should be rather easy. Head south to proceed
to the next area.
Hall of Ardent Darkness
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Mallicant, Silicon Tortoise
---------------------------------------------------------------------
More Mallicants will be encountered here and there is another Silicon
Tortoise. Just brush them aside and head south and you will be back at
Ozmone Plains. Make your way to Jahara and use the Save Crystal...
Congrats... you have complete the Zertinan Caverns. Re-stock up your
Hi-Potions and Remedies. It is time to return back to the storyline
quest. It has been a long while... right? Make your back to Rabanastre.

Stock up Remedies if you got gil. They are crucial and they will be
more worthy when you gain most of the Lores. It will be better if you
managed to save up some gil for the Nihopalaoa accessory (30,000 gil)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Worgen, Slaven Wilder
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the first area, you will find Worgens, a stronger version of the
White Wolfs that you encounter at Paramina's Rift. Sometimes, you will
find Worgen that is berserked (it appears as glowing rate). They are
quite easy to slaughter. Defeat them and they could drop a good
accessory called Steel Poleyns, which allows you to bypass traps
without the worry of trigger those traps.
The Slaven Wilder are friendly Slavens and they won't attack you unless
you disturb it. There are 2 exit paths, take either one of them.
Summit Path
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Worgen, Fire Elemental*, Humbaba, Seeq Cateran
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes, you will find a Fire Elemental nearby. Do not use area black
magicks such as Blizzara or you may hit it accidentally and you will
have to fight it. Elementals has a tendency to silence your characters
so make sure you switch your accessory equipment to Rose Corsage before
you attempt to fight them.
Humbaba works in pairs and they are strong version of werewolves. But
they are weak against Ice. So use Blizzara (make sure the the Fire
Elemental is not within the targeting range). Icebrand sword works out
well for this fight.
Sometimes you will encounter Seeq Cateran. They has ability to use
Provoke. So cast Dispel to remove its effects.
If you head northwest, there are quite a high chance that you will
encounter a Rare Game - Wary Wolf - a gigantic version of normal Wolf
that you encounter in Dalmasca Estersand. But it is not tough. The
northwest exit will leads to the village in the Highwaste while the
northeast path leads to another area. Take the northeast route.
Empyrean Way
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Worgens
----------------------------------------------------------------------
More worgens found here. Slaughter as they come. Now exit via the
northeast path. The northwest path will lead to the village in the
middle.
Rays of Ashen Light
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Slaven Wilder, Clay Golem
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are Slaven Wilders here. On the left side of the path, you will
find 2 Clay Golems there. The Golems, like Slaven Wilder are weak
against Wind Elemental. Use Aero or have someone using Gladius Knife to
attack it. They can cast nasty spells like Dark and Aero. So watch out
for it, especially its Tri-Attack. At the end of the path, there is a
Wayward Chocobo. You can ride on it by giving it a Gysahl Greens. Exit
via the left exit. You will reach the village - Bubbling Vale
Bubbling Vale
---------------
There is a Gate Crystal here where you can save your game. Talk to
the Caravaner (Luccio) and he will sell the following items:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Python, Vulture, Worgen, Alpha Worgen, Seeq Cateran, Fire
Elemental
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find Pythons sprouting from the ground. But they should be
quite easy to handle. When it is about to use Spiral Cut, get away from
it. On the other side of path, you will encounter Vulture, which has
a tendency to use Kamikaze (you will get no items, no experience and
LP if that happens, plus you will receive around 500 HP damage).
At the end of the path, you will find more Worgens or Seeq Caterans.
This depends on the game itself. At the end of the path, near the trap,
there is a weathered rock. Examine it and you will be able to knock
down to create a path to the Rays of Ashen Light.
Please note that Fire Elemental is immune to Ice Magicks. So don't
equip the Icebrand or you will deal zero damage if you happen to fight
it. Equip Rose Corsage to block its silence spells.
Northern Skirts
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Humbaba, Vulture, Python
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find Humbaba guarding the entrance and more Vultures at the
area where you find the Atomos if you accept the hunt.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.15 - Atomos
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
________________________________________________________________
Atomos LV ?? HP: ???? (~30,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Stomp, Kick, Purify, White Wind, Spinkick, Regen, Gnaw,
Restore, Shell
Notes: Shell, Haste, Protect, Regen
It is an easy enemy and the monsters surrounding it does not
cause you as much problems as the fight for Esper Adrammelech.
First of all, cast Dispel to remove its possible status and
inflict Blind. Use Shear if you have it to weaken its magick
resist. Keep on attacking as usual and its normal attack does
little damage (Spinkick and Gnaw). It will use purify, which
will remove all the status ailments and it will also generate
a White Wind, which causes it to be immune to status ailments.
Just keep on attacking it and heal when necessary. Overall, this
should not pose much a problem... In fact, it is even easier
than the Fire Elemental. Equip Golden Amulet to reap in rewards
of large LP reward. If you have a weapon that could inflict
Disable, this battle is like a walk in the park.
Steal: Potion
LP: 16
________________________________________________________________
Return back to the resting area for the scouts to use the Gate
Crystal to restore lost HP/MP. Save your game. If you are very
impatient on getting your reward, you may want to go back now to
visit Burrough to take your bounty... Your rank will be upgraded to
Riskbreaker if you have following this walkthrough from the beginning.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Wyrdhare, Pumpkin Head
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Along the wooden planks, you will see Wyrdhare popping out and sleeping
Pumpkim Heads. Just move across the walkthrough planks and you will
reach the next area.
Paths of Hours
-----------------
There is a Save Crystal here and a forest traveller (Bangaa). Exit
to the next area
Trunkwall Road
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Wyrdhare, Pumpkin Head, Sprinter
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The urn contain the map of area is in the southeast corner of this area.
Search it and you will be able to view the full map. Sprinter are
stronger versions of the Cockatrice. They can use Stone Gaze, so use
a Gold Needle or cast Stona to remove the status. Exit the area via
southeast.
Diverging Way
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Pumpkin Head, Wyrdhare, Sprinter, Malboro King
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The enemies here are easy. You will encounter Malboro King. Make sure
you have setup to counter status that is result from is Bad Breath. As
Malboro King is a plant monster, submerge it with Oil and cook it with
Fira for an easy kill ^_^. Head southeast first.
Living Chasm
--------------
You will find the moogle boss. Talk to him and you will need to search
for all 9 moogles that are scattered all across the wood. The moogles
reside in the Forest Bungalow. For those who have gotten the map, it
will marked as ! icons on the map.
Path of Hours
---------------
Now make your way back to the Save Crystal. You will find a "Forest
Bunglow" there. Examine it and you will find Layabout and 2 other
moogles. Now with 3 down and there is 6 more to go... Make your way
back to the Trunkwall Road
Trunkwall Road
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Wyrdhare, Pumpkin Head, Sprinter
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Forest Bungalow can be located from the middle branch. Get the map
if you have gotten it. Go to the ! marker on the map. You will find
another Forest Bungalow there. Examine it and you will find 2 more
moogles there. Head westwards to the next area
Sun-dappled Path
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Wyrdhare
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This area consists only Wyrdhare. They are easy to beat but they tends
to run away after its HP is critical. Hence steal it first and cast
Sleep. Roast it with Fira and hopefully you get a lot of fine wool...
Head northwards to the next area.
Garden of Decay
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Sprinter, Malboro King
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Forest Bungalow are located just next to each other and you will
find the remaining 4 moogles. As you have found all the moogles, you
will get a prompt whether you want to follow to the gate. Choose the
2nd option "No" as you are going to fight an optional boss here...
Head northwest and you will find the exit.
Quietened Trace
----------------
In this *LARGE* area, there are no enemies but you will find the gate
crystal there along with an Overseer moogle. Save your game. Before you
intend to kill the boss, here is a trick
o----------------------------------------------------------------o
| Harvest of Bomb Shells |
o----------------------------------------------------------------o
| The King Bomb got a lot of great loot that you can steal from |
| and they will regenerate when you exit the area and re-enter. |
| Bomb Shells can be sold for 896 per piece and you can easily |
| get 99 of these in just 30 minutes (if not less). Equip your |
| leader with the Thief's Cuffs. Steal and exit the area. Make |
| sure that you have least 5 Bomb Shells and at least 3 Bomb |
| Fragments left if you intend to get the Bazaar goods for the |
| strongest Hand-bomb weapon and its incendiaries. By the way, |
| Bomb Fragments can easily sold for 1911 per piece... |
| |
| For those who don't have the anti-fire equipment stated below, |
| use this trick and get the money you needed and purchase them |
o----------------------------------------------------------------o
Make sure you have the following:
- Flame Shields for characters using a single-handed weapon.
- Adamant Hat & Adamant Vest for all characters
- Gillie Boots (to be immune against Oil)
- Dispel spell
- At level 2 Quickenings for all 3 characters
- Cast Protect, Shell, Bubble, Regen and Haste for all 3 characters
participating in the battle.
________________________________________________________________
King Bomb LV ?? HP: ???? (~38,000)
Bomb A LV 33 HP: 3233
Bomb B LV 33 HP: 3233
Bomb C LV 33 HP: 3233
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Fira, Renew, Chain Reaction, Lunge, Cry for Help,
Chain Magick
Notes: Haste
The boss is a big meanie and its partners in crime has the
ability cast Oil, which will make your allies Fire damage for
3 times. Luckily if your characters are equipped with Flame
Shield, Adamant Vest or Adamant Vest, you will be able to
nullify the damage in half.
The boss' groupies (Bombs) have only 3 basic attacks - Fire,
Oil and Lunge. With Gillie Boots, you won't have the trouble of
worrying your characters getting soaked in oil...
The boss got a weakness against Water and its attacks are pretty
weak except for its Fira magicks. However the boss has the
ability to restore its HP with Renew and spam new Bombs with Cry
for Help. First of all, cast Dispel to remove its Haste and
attack the bombs first. With the fire protection equipment, the
King bomb should do a maximum of only 250 HP with Fira and 100+
HP with its Lunge attacks. Attack as you will do normally. The
boss has an ability called Renew which will restores its HP back
to 100% and it use it once its HP is below 40%.
Cast Silence will prevent the boss from using Fira and Cry for
Help. By the way, King Bomb can regenerate new Bombs for infinite
times!
Kill off the bombs were created. Do not waste time to poach them
as they will use Self-Destruct, which could heavy damage to your
party. This will cause the King Bomb to waste its MP to
regenerate Bombs. Seize the opportunity once Silence hits. Damage
the boss till its HP is below 50%. If the boss runs away, it
means it is going to use Renew. Your Mist Quickening won't have
sufficent time to reach. So just resume attack. Cast Haste and
Bubble once these 2 wears off. Try to have King Bomb cornened
and then unleash your Mist Quickening when its HP is below 50%.
Steal: Bomb Shell, Fire Crystal, Bomb Fragment
LP: 22, 1 LP for each Bomb killed
________________________________________________________________
Return back to Gate Crystal and restore your lost HP/MP. Now you got 3
choices:
1) Go to Necrohol Of Nabudis to collect the strongest spear, provided
that you do open the following treasure chest
- The chest that is in front of Old Dalan's House
- The chest at the right corner of Royal Palace of Rabanastre (I
have suggested you not open any one of them right?)
- The chests in the Confiscatory of Nalbina Dungeon
I won't recommend you to go there now as the enemies are a bit too
tough.
2) The northwest area leads to Nabreus Deadlands, which I won't
recommend to go there either.
3) Return back to Moogle Boss and continue with the story.
Before heading there, there is a hunt that you can do. First of all,
disarm your fire protective equipment and change to your best
equipment. From the previous area where you fight King Bomb, head
northwest to the Corridor of Ages
Corridor of Ages
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Green Chocobo, Brown Chocobo, Bakamy, Antares, Malboro King
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ignore the Brown Chocobo here. Head southwest and you will find the
Braegh (a giant horse with glowing light). Before getting close there,
cast Haste and Bubble on your characters. Make sure you have some
Remedy or Jackboots. Don't equip the Jackboots first.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.16 - Braegh
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
________________________________________________________________
Braegh LV ?? HP: ???? (~35,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Snake Lash, Berserk, Rush, Invert, Immbolizega,
Thundara
Notes: -
Seeing this creature reminds me of Troy... First cast Slow on it.
As a lightning elemental creature, it is weak against Ice. Cast
Blizzara and the Icebrand sword works wonders. Snake Lash does
around 400 HP all allies and has the ability to cost Poison.
So use an Antidote if that happens. Braegh can cast Berserk, so
use Dispel on that the berserked character if that happens. Keep
on using Blizzara and you will see a message that Braegh becomes
immune to magicks. Switch to non-elemental weapon and attack
normal. Braegh will use Invert, which cause a character's HP and
MP to be inverted. So have that character cast Bubble. Once
Braegh is readies to use Immbolizega, activate menu and equip
Jackboots. For characters who are immbolize, use a Remedy. Just
keep on attack and you will win it no time... By the way, Disable
has an impact on it...
By the way, once the boss is dead, the Invert status will be
remove automatically.
Steal: Storm Magicite, Storm Crystal, Grimoire Aidhed
LP: 17
________________________________________________________________
If you exit to the west area, there will be a cutscene that Fran
suggests that you head eastwards :) [The enemies are really tough
and it is not kidding!]. Now head back to the Moogle Boss.
The other enemies won't appear until you exit and return back to
this area. The Antares is like the Scythe Mantis, cast Blind on it
and Oil-Fira combo works well on it. The Bakamy is relatively easy
and they drop gil...
Head northeast...
Piebald Path
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Brown Chocobo, Malboro King, Bakamy, Antares
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This area has the same set of enemies that you encounter in the
previous area. The only danagerous foes are the Malboro King and
Antares. The north exit will leads to the Nabreus Deadlands, which I
won't recommend you to go there now. Head back eastwards to the Living
Chasm where you find Moogle Boss.
Living Charm
--------------
There will be a cutscene at the Living Charm and you will be able to
talk to all 10 moogles. Talk to Moogle Boss and you will get a
Quasimoda Boots for your efforts. Get your beach wear and let's head
for the shore!

-------------
Once you reach the area, there will be some scenes and a breath of
fresh air... (ahh). There is a Save Crystal. Save your game and
exit...
Set up the following Gambits:
o Foe: flying -> Blizzara
o Foe: status = Oil -> Fira
The Raseta Stand
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Mandragora, Silver Lobo, Pyrolisk, Piranha, Iguion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Mandragora are like Alraunes type monster. Just chop them for
Succulent Fruits. Silver Lobo are stronger version of the wolves, just
slaughter for Quality Pelts. Piranha are stronger versions of Ichthons
and they are weak against lightning. Pyrolisk are flying creatures but
they are weak against Ice. At the northwest end of the area, you will
find a sleepy Iguion, a stronger version of Gigantoad. Shock them with
Thundara. Head southeast.
Pora-Pora Sands
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Iguion, Silver Lobo, Pyrolisk, Bagoly
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Down here, you will fight more Iguions and they will drop Frogspawn if
you have gotten the Monographs. Silver Lobo are dangerous when you
fight them in groups. Thus blinding them is a crucial before you fight
them. Watch out their Sonic Fangs! Bagoly can also be encountered here,
and they are the ones that you encounter in Nam-Yensa Sandsea except
they are at high levels. Cast Oil on them and use Fira to roast them...
The west route leads to the Mauelia Strand and the southwest route
leads to Cape Tialan. Set the following Gambit can be quite useful if
you do not have any good ammunition - Foe: flying --> Blizzara
In northern region of the area, you will find an orange Bangaa and you
will be able to access the area via a Chocobo. More details will be
covered later.
The Mauelia Strand
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Pryolisk, Silver Lobo, Mandragora, Iguion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will encounter here what you have encounter in the previous areas.
The east route leads back to Pora-Pora Sands and the southeast route
leads to Cape Tialan
Cape Tialan
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Mandragora, Silver Lobo, Pryolisk, Iguion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Once again the same set enemies that you encountered in Mauelia Strand.
The east route leads to Cape Uahuk while the southeast route leads to
the The Hakawea Shore
Hakawea Shore
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Silver Lobo, Iguion, Pryolisk, Mandragora
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will fight more Silver Lobos here along with the annoying Pryolisks
if you don't equip any range weapons. There is a Wayward Chocobo here
where you can give Gysahl Greens to ride on it.
The northeast and southeast exits lead to the Hunter's Camp, your
destination.
Cape Uahuk
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Silver Lobo, Pryolisk, Bagoly, Mandragora
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Same set of enemies that you have encounter in the Pora-Pora Sands.
You will fight a lot of Bagoly and hence the Oil-Fira combo works
extremely well here. The path lead south leads to the Hunter's Camp.
Hunter's Camp
---------------
Once you reached there, there will be a cutscene. (Vaan seems like to
have fun a lot...). There is a Gate Crystal. Better use it...
You will find Gurdy next to the item shop and you can rent a Chocobo
for 1400 gil (!). Talk to the shop owner and he sells the following:

o Mindflayer Rank IV
o Bloodwing Rank V
o Atomos Rank III

o Braegh Rank IV
The Cartographer Guild's moogle is found near the north exits. Talk to
it and pick the first option. You will be able to purchase the map for
the Phon Coast for 1800 gil.
You need to head northeast to The Tchita Uplands. You can also head
southeast as there is something that I want you to take note off.
The Vaddu Strand
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Silver Lobo, Seeq Fisher (ally), Piranha, Mandragora, Pyrolisk
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The monsters are the first enemies that you encounter when you first
reach Phon Coast. However, at the southeast of the area. You will find
16 chests and they are arrange in this manner.
o o o o PS: Don't you think it is a bit fishy that the
o o o o chest arranged in this manner?
o o o o
o o o o
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
| Do NOT touch them as they will affect the treasures in the |
| Necrohol of Nabudis. If you touch them, you will lose your |
| chance to get the strongest weapon in the game. Please treat it |
| as you never see them if you want that weapon... |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
Piranha are encountered on the shores by the way.
Ocassionally, you will find Seeq Fisher assisting you. Along the
mountain, there is a cave which is a underpass that leads to the Limatra
Hills. Return back to the Hunter's Camp and make your way northeast.
Caima Hills
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Silver Lobo, Bagoly, Archaeosaur, Pryolisk
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In this area, you will find another Wayward Chocobo. You will encounter
a lot of Silver Lobo and Bagoly. So use the previous strategies and you
will be fine. There is a purple Archaeosaur. Cast Blind on it to weaken
its attack. You may want to cast Dispel to remove its Regen status. You
will again encounter Pryolisks here.
Limatra Hills
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Bagoly, Silver Lobo, Archaeosaur
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find more Bagolys and Silver Lobo along with another
Archaeosaur. The south mountain path has a cave which will leads to the
The Vardu Strand. Continue to head northeast.
Rava's Pass
-------------
There is another Save Crystal here. Save your game and proceed... You
will find 2 Viera Wayfarer here.

[SC] Save Crystal
Your objective is head to the Sochen Cave Palace. But first of all, you
need to get the Soul Ward Key from the Archadian Wayfarer found in The
Chosen Path before you can enter there...
Realm of the Elder Dream
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Coeurl, Serpent, Bellwyern, Malboro Overking
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The battles will start to get tougher. Coeurl are more dangeorus with
its spells that its normal attacks. So cast Silence to prevent it from
using spells like Thundara, Cura and Silence. Serpent, on the hand are
very aggressive attackers. Use Oil-Fira combo should allow you to
defeat rather easily. There is a Bellwyern at the southeast corner. It
is flying creature and is weak against Water. However, cast Oil on it
and Fira works just as fine. The Bellwyern's Breath could causes Sap,
cast Regen to counter it.
If you head northwest, you forced to fight a gang of Malboro Overkings,
if that happens cast Oil and use Fira to roast them apart. The east
path leads to the Sky trial while the southeast path leads to the
Oliphzak Rise.
Oliphzak Rise
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Lizard, Feral Croc, Serpent, Coeurl
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Take note of the Feral Croc. Oil works on it but it could cast Reflect.
Hence dispel its Protect/Reflect before you fight it, other you will
get hit hard by your Fira. Lizards roam in the northern portion while
Malboro Overkings roam in the upper portion. The southeast exit leads
to a Save Crystal while the northeast leads to a save crystal.
The Skytrail
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Coeurl, Serpent, Lizard, Bellwyern
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here, you will fight more Coeurl and Serpents. Serpents are abundant in
the normal region. So prepare someone to cast Oil and unleash Fira to
cook them for snake soup... In the middle area, you will fight Lizard
along with a Bellwyvern. Soak them with Oil and unleash Fira. Next the
exit, you will find a group of Coeurl. Try to lure them together and
use Blizzara. Exit via the northeast exit.
The Chosen Path
-----------------
There is a Gate Crystal here. Use it. There is an Archadian Wayfarer.
Talk to him and you will need to do a Hunt for an unposted enemy. You
will also get the Soul Ward Key item. If you talk to him, he will show
you the bill again. Head eastwards.
NOTE: If you talk to the Archadian Wayfarer at The Nameless Spring, he
will also give you the bill for the Hunt of an uposted enemy,
which is also exactly the same as the boy's. The reward for
complete the Hunt is still the same though.
The Highlands
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Serpent, Coeurl, Malboro Overking
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A lot of monsters and they all tends to group together. You need to
head northeast where you will encounter mainly Couerls and Serpent.
For those who intend to explore, you will find a large majority of
Malboro Overkings there... The east path leads to the Sundered Earth
while the north path leads to the Fields of Eternity. Go northwards.
Fields of Eternity
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Coeurl, Serpent, Malboro Overking
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You need to locate the cave that is in the northwest region of the
area. You will fight mainly Coeurls and Serpents while on the
grasslands and you fight Malboro Overkings at the U-shaped ledge at
the southwest corner. Enter the Cave.

Doubt Abandoned
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Zombie Knight, Gorgimera, Imp, Iguion
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon entering the cave, there will be some scenes between your party.
After the scenes, prepard to fight the enemies here... Zombie Knights
are undead monsters but Cura cures them. Soak them with Oil and
unleash Fira. Gorgimera are cockatrice-type monsters and they are
weak against Water. If you have gotten the Masamune katana, it will
bring a lot of help for this battle.
Imp are weak against ice and they are fast. So cast Silence on them
to prevent them from using magicks. You will also encounter Iguions,
those friendly toads that you have encounter at Phon Coast. Try to
conserve your MP. Once you reach a door labelled "Gate of the Soul
Ward", which is directly north from the entrance.
Gambit Setups for each character
----------------------------------
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Ally: HP < 40% -> Cura
o Ally: status = Sleep -> Alarm Clock
o Ally: status = Slow -> Haste
o Ally: status = Confuse -> Smelling Salts
o Ally: status = Stop -> Chronos Tear
Rose Corsage as accessories for all characters
Switch off all Attacking Gambits (red)
Make sure all particpating characters has acquired Esuna, Vox and
Poisona.
Cast Protect, Shell, Regen, Bubble and Haste on all members who is
participating for the upcoming boss battle. You may want to switch
to your reserve party if your current party is low on HP/MP.
Examine the door. Pick the top option.
Hall of Lambent Darkness
--------------------------
You will come in a large area and eventually you will fight...
________________________________________________________________
Mandragora Prince LV ?? HP: ???? (~9,100)
Onion Queen LV ?? HP: ???? (~9,100)
Alraune King LV ?? HP: ???? (~9,100)
Pumpkin Star LV ?? HP: ???? (~9,100)
Topstalk LV ?? HP: ???? (~9,100)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Shell, Ram, Pollen, Scream, Toxify, Protect
Notes: Haste
The moment the battle starts, they scatter all away! Each of
the Mandragoras has haste on it and they are very fast in
movement. Their normal attacks does around 100~200 HP and the
biggest threat is their status ailment attacks. The Gambits that
I have ask you to setup will solve most of the problems except
for Poison and Silence.
Now target one Mandragoras at a time. Have your party leader
focus on stealing while your other characters on attacking that
Mandragora. Dispel the positive status before you engage a
battle. The reason is because you can get very rare loot from
stealing from the Mandragoras and you won't want to miss them...
Just keep on stealing before you focus your attack on the other.
Nail each them one by one. They got only 9000 HP and they are
all weak against Fire.
Mandragoras Stolen Loot
Mandragora Prince Four-leaf Clover
Onion Queen Onion
Alraune King Gimble Stalk
Pumpkin Star Jack-o'-Lantern
Topstalk Tomato Stalk
The battle won't be very difficult considered Bubble doubles
your HP along the weapon and armor you have...
LP: 5 each
________________________________________________________________
Switch to your other party if your current party is extremely low on
HP/MP. Exit the area via the left or right ancient door.
The Acolyte's Burden
----------------------
The long winding path from the left and right doors will coverged
together. You will find a Save Crystal. Examine it and you will fight
it... It's fake.
________________________________________________________________
Crystalbug LV ?? HP: ???? (~5000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Watera, Blizzara, Dark, Fira, Thundara, Aerora
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...
Strangely, the Ruby Ring can't reflect its magicks.
Steal: Feystone
LP: 10
________________________________________________________________
Defeat it and the real save crystal will appear. Now exit to the next
area by heading eastwards. There is desiccated corpse nearby. Examine
the ancient door...
Mirror of the Soul
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Zombie Knight, Imp, Pit Friend, Gorgimera
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Move down the pathway and examine the door. You will need to fight the
4 Zombie Knights at the rear. Cast Oil and burn them apart with Fira.
Examine the other ancient door.
There will be Imps hovering around. Imps, which are weak against Earth
are called Pit Friends and these can cast nasty status ailments such
as Sleep. Disable them first before they do this. If you do not have
Disable, make sure you silenced them before they cause you any
problems.
Head to the southeast corner and you will find Gorgimeras and the urn
containing the map. Blind the Gorigmeras before you fight them. It
helps a lot if you still have the Flame Shield so that you can block
its Ember Breath attack.
There are five exits, however the middle one is blocked. Exit via the
path on the extreme right
Falls of Time
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Striker, Focalor
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The treasure is the middle area but the path is being block and you
can unlocked by going through a certain route. You will encounter new
foes. Striker are stronger version of werewolves and they are weak
against Wind. It is better to finish them off fast otherwise you will
get hit by Tremor. Focalor are friendly foes (fish-like creature) but
they are weak against Ice instead of Lightning. But they are quite easy
to handle. Certain of the pathways are blocked by the waterfalls.
Below is a simple map for you to follow.

You will start at the start point instead on Start on the map. Go in
the following directions. You will need to make a detour around the
area from a big detour to small detour.
NOTE:
When you exit from one area to another, the monsters will regenerate
and it means you to fight them again.
o Head south to go back to Mirror of Soul and make your way back to
Falls of Time via Exit A (Mirror of Soul).
You will see a message "The course of waterfall has change".
o From Exit A, exit that area via exit #1 to Destiny's March. Make
your way to the hexagon shaped area and examine the ancient door

"A door in a distance appears".
Now head south and make your way to through middle exit. You will see
a Pilgrim's Door. Examine it and pick the 2nd option. Inside the
chest, you will get a rare treasure - either a Koga Blade, Elixir,
Dark Mater or gil. Now you have gotten the treasure, make your way to
Destiny's March.
Destiny's March
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Striker, Zombie Knight, Wendigo
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Make your way to hexagon-shaped area. Exit via other one of the 3
paths that is heading north. The Ascetic's Door at the west area
cannot be opened. Defeat all the enemies. Make your way to northern
door. Do not examine it.
Do the following first:
o Cast Protect, Shell, Bubble, Regen, Haste
o Give your leader the Orichalcum Dirk
o Setup the following Gambits
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Ally: HP <30% -> Cura
o Ally: status = Confuse -> Smelling Salts
o Ally: status = Berserk -> Dispel
o Ally: status = Sleep -> Alarm Clock
o Ally: status = Stop -> Chronos Tear
o Ally: status = Slow -> Haste
Hall of Shadowlight
--------------------
________________________________________________________________
Ahriman LV ?? HP: ???? (~62000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Divide, Thundara, Blizzara, Fira, Toxify
Notes: -
Ahriman is a similar monster to the Lich or Ghost-type monster.
It has the ability to teleport from one spot to another. Divide
will cause it split to multiple copies of itself. Have your
leader attack the main boss with Orichalcum Dirk (and it has
very high chances of inflicting the Slow status on the boss
itself). When it's HP is below 70%, it will use its first
Divide, do not attack the shadow (which will be destroy in
one blow), instead focus on the boss. It seems that the more
mirror copies that you destroy the more danagerous the status
ailments will be. So make sure you attack the one that has the
Slow status. Cast Bubble when the effect is off and make sure
Regen is maintained at all times. Overall, it is an easy boss
fight even you are running on MP.
Steal: Sky Jewel, Death Powder
LP: 30
________________________________________________________________
Pick up the treasure from the chests found in the room and they will
contain 2x Elixirs. (One of them is found in the northeast corner
while the other one is next the front altar-like structure)
Heal your party and exit the area by examining the ancient door on
the right.
Temptation Eluded
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Striker, Imp
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Turn on your Libra if it has faded as there is a trap in front of the
door. Move along the walkway and you will encounter Strikers. Cast Oil
on it and roast it with Fira. Although Imp are weak against Ice, cast
Oil and they will be weak against Fire as well. Just watch out for the
traps here. Equip Steel Poleyns if you have it (You should get some
when you defeat the Worgens...). The left end leads to a common
treasure chest. Now exit this area via the exit in the north. Examine
that ancient door.
Chamber of the Chosen
-----------------------
Make your way the circular path. You will find "Disused Pedestal"
nearby. Examine it and pick the top option to activate it.
Skybent Chamber
----------------
There is a Gate Crystal. Use it and save your game. You can go back
to the Cave Palace by examining that Disused Pedestal. Examine the
Stone Door. Head north...

Make sure that you have at least 2,500 gil or you won't be able to
proceed...
Nilbasse
----------
Now make your way to the Nilbasse area. Talk to Cab Guide. You will
need 9 Chops before you can take a cab, if not you need to pay a
million gil (!). You will meet Jules and you will have to pay 2,500 gil.
Pick the top option to pay.
Now look for a lady dressed in purple (Senior Researcher) and talk to
her and you will be given this option:
o Commit this tale to memory <-
o Do Nothing
If you find the correct person, and you will get a Pine Chop. Look for
a man dressing in purple vest walking along the lane between the 2
exits. Talk to him (Failed Researcher)
o Relate the tale of the "words of encouragement" <-
o Do Nothing
Pick the top option and you will get a Pinewood Chop.
o--------------------------------------------------------------------o
| Collecting Pinewood Chops |
o--------------------------------------------------------------------o
| In Archades, people spend their whole lives, trying to get their |
| hands on Pine Chops and if they're lucky, a chop of fine |
| Sandalwood. Gil, they are only good for buying and selling of |
| goods. You can have all the gil in the world and it won't buy you |
| respect. Only chops of Pine, or chops of Sandal will win you that. |
| You see, the Chops represent your contribution to the greater good |
| of the Empire. Common citizens might come by pinewood chops enough |
| during their daily lives, but it takes a soldier, or some great |
| deed to earn Sandalwood. |
o--------------------------------------------------------------------o
NOTE: The following task will be a lot more easier if you have spoken
to everyone prior to talking the Cab Driver.
In the current area, you can get 6. You just need 9 chops to travel to
next area. For those who want the full list, below is the listing of
all 28 Pinewood Chops. I will recommend you to do it now as there are
some special about it. It is easy to identify the message giver as
part of his/her speech will be highlighted in orange. There are a total
of 28 messages for you to deliver and below is the full listing:

The purpose of getting the Sandalwood chop is that it allows you to
access central area of Archades. So it is your best interest to get all
the 28 pinewood chops from these 56 people. Once you gotten 28 pinewood
chops, talk to a chopmaster (every shop will have one) and pick the top
option to trade a Sandalwood Chop. If you have incomplete chops, talk to
the chopmaster again and you will be able to buy a chop for 20,000 gil...
Once you got all the chops, head for the Cab Guide. Talk to him and you
will be allowed to pass.
Tsenoble
----------
After a cab ride, you will arrive at Tsenoble and you will meet Balthier.
West off the cab guide is the Gate Crystal. Before continue with the next
section, here is a checklist that you need to do before heading for Cid's
laboratory.
+----------------------------------------------------------------+

on the next prompt... You will go to "You know where to..."

There will be some scenes and Basch will be attacked by the earlier
intruder. Once the scenes are over, go southeast and you will find a
Rm 7002 East. There is a chest containing a random treasure.
Now go back to Save Crystal. Set up the following Gambits:
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Ally: status = HP Critical -> X-Potion
o Ally: HP < 40% -> Hi-Potion
Equip Pheasant Netsukes on your characters if you have them. Cast
Protect, Shell, Bubble, Regen and Haste on all particpating
characters. Touch the Save Crystal and save your game. Head north
and there will be some scenes and you will have to fight Cid....
________________________________________________________________
Doctor Cid LV ?? HP: ???? (~53000)
Rook A LV ?? HP: ???? (~9900)
Rook B LV ?? HP: ???? (~9900)
Rook C LV ?? HP: ???? (~9900)
Rook D LV ?? HP: ???? (~9900)
________________________________________________________________
Attack List:
Cid: Haste, S27-Tokawk, Gunshot
Rooks: Protect, Shell, Reflect, Regen, Syphon, Drain, Laser
Notes: -
The Rooks form a Pailing that causes Doctor Cid to be invincible
to any attacks that you throw at him. Thus you need to defeat
the Rooks first.
Since sooner or later, your MP will drain out by the Rooks'
Syphon magicks. Just attack them with normal attacks. Upon
defeating the first Rook, there will be a speech between
Balthier and Cid.
Now handle the Rooks one by one. Have all your characters focus
on attacking the same Rooks. You may want to dispel any magick
first before attacking them.
After defeating the Rook, focus on attacking Cid. Cid will start
off by casting positive status magick such as Haste and Protect.
Cast Dispel to remove them. When he will do a "charging", it
means he will be unleashing the S-27 Tokawk. So make sure all
your allies' HP are above 1000 at all times. Just attack him
normally. Heal when your character's HP are low. Re-cast Bubble
and Regen once the effects wear off. BTW, Cid's defense is
weaker than other bosses...
Steal: Knot of Rust
LP: 5 each for Rooks, 29 LP
________________________________________________________________
Once the battle is over, there will be some scenes and you will need
to head for Giruvegan and you can get there from Feywood from Golmore
Jungle. Now your party will end a Balfonheim Port.

Mark No.17 - Mindflayer
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Jahara
---------
Now make your way to the Lull of the Land. Talk to Warrior Guromu, who
find near the tents in the southeast area. Talk him and you will be
able to commence the hunt for Mindflayer. Hitch a ride from Chocobo
Ranch for 30 gil. Ride your way to Henne Mines. Hopefully you still
remember your way to get there. Make sure you stock up some Chronos
Tears.
Make your way to the Mines. Go to the Phase 1 Dig. Note it will
located the south junction. You will find it there only if your
party leader's MP is full. If you do not want to waste time to
regenerate your MP. Use Syphon on the nightmares there. Make sure you
have gotten your character in Bubble status before you engage to fight
it.
________________________________________________________________
Mindflayer LV ?? HP: ???? (~35000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Thundara, Fira, Soul Etude, Hero's March, Mystery
Waltz, Drain, Invert, Bio, Time Requirem
As mentioned earlier, the Mindflayer won't appear unless all your
party's MP are full. The Mindflayer is a magick caster but it has
weak defense. It got a couple of special skills -
o Soul Etude - it will restores all its HP back to full
o Hero's March - it casts Bravery, Regen, Faith, Protect, Shell
& Haste. Cast Dispel it.
o Mystery Waltz - Increases its defense
o Time Requirem - Inflict Stop status on all characters in range
Have a Slow status inflicting equipment such as Orichalcum Dirk
helps a lot in the battle. It will use Invert followed by Bio
when its HP is low. So heal your character and keep it above
1500 at all times.
Steal: Pebble.
LP: 18 LP
________________________________________________________________
Now make your way back to Jahara. You can use the Gate Crystal there
or make your way back to the entrance and use the Chocobo for a free
ride back there. Talk to Guromu and you will get your reward - 2,200
gil and Carmagnole for the effort.
Make your way to the Imperial City of Archades via the Teleport
crystal from Jahara.
Imperial City of Archades
---------------------------
If you have gotten the Sandalwood, you will be able to start the
Cockatrice Find Mini Quest. From the Save Crystal, talk to the Cab
Guide to return back to Nalbasse. Now make your way to the Weapon
Shop. Talk to Homesick man (man examining the armors nearest to the
door) and you will need to do the hunt at the Sochen Cave Palace.
By the way, the Gambit Shop is selling the same new Gambits. I will
recommend you to get them, especially Self Gambit targets. Set all HP
critical status and HP curing Gambits using the self instead of the
ally gambits.
Now make your way back to Old Archades.
Old Archades
----------------
Make your way to Sochen Cave Palace entrance. The entrance back to the
Sochen Cave Palace is near the Bangaa there.
Sochen Cave Palace
--------------------
Examine the Stone Door. Use the Gate Crystal. Cast Protect, Shell,
Regen, Bubble and Haste. Examine the Disused Pedestal. From the lift,
make your way down the slope and back to the area where you fight
Ahriman and you will find:
o--------------------------------------------------------o
| Ancient Turtle Shell |
| For those who intend to get Ancient Turtle Shell for |
| the Bazaar Good of getting Venetian Shield, you can |
| get this by stealing from the Darksteel. It is a rare |
| steal and it will take you ages to get one. But in my |
| opinion, this is the easiest way to get it... |
| |
o--------------------------------------------------------o
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.19 - Darksteel
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
The monster will linger around that area and you need to fight it.
________________________________________________________________
Darksteel LV ?? HP: ???? (~60000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Flatten, Protect, Stone Gaze, Power Spin, Darkra
Notes: Protect, Shell, Bravery
Start off by dispelling its Protect, Shell and Bravery statuses.
Now watch out for its Flatten (which will do 1000+ if you do not
have Protect on). Blind and Slow works on it. Blind is crucial
as it will increase the changes of the turtle missing. Using
the Orichalcum Dirk helps a lot here as it is very high chance
of inflicit the Slow status. Dispel its Protect when it cast on
itself. Power Spin does around 1,000+ HP damage to all allies
surrounding it. Occasionally, it use Stone Gaze, which causes
petrification, counter it with Stona or use a Gold Needle. When
Darksteel's HP is critical, it start to use Darkra which does
around 800+ HP damage to all allies. So make sure you also
monitor the healing as well. The stealing on the King Bomb works
also on this monster. You can get nearly infinite Aged Turtle
Shells too but it takes you a longer time to get back to the
Gate Crystal.
Steal: Aged Turtle Shell
LP: 21 LP
________________________________________________________________
I won't collect the rewards at this point of time as you will get
back there sooner or later. Hence make your way back to Gate
Crystal. Here is 2 choices for you. Make your way out the Sochen
Cave Palace by foot or use the Gate Crystal to teleport to the
Tchita Uplands.
Tchita Uplands
----------------
Remember the boy who give you a petition for the hunt on Mandagoras?
Make your way there. Talk to the boy/man and you will get 1,000 gil
along with 3 Remedies! If you head all the way towards east, you
will make it to Cerobi Steppe (I won't recommend you to go there
unless you have gotten all the spells that you can get now...)

important notes that you need to take note off.
o Bellwyern can't be poached but they will drop Spiral Incisors
o The Feral Croc can only be encounter at Oliphzak Rise and you can
get Blood Wool from them. It has a high tendency of dropping these
expensive wool. Remember to dispel their Reflect before you use the
Oil-Fira combo. To make it reappear, just go back to the save
crystal, go south again and return back to the first area.
o Poach the Serpents for Quality Hide (and you can sell them for a
lot of gil) Oil-Fira combo works extremely work against these snakes.

Site 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Skeleton, Skull Defender, Dullahan, Headless
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Defeat the Dullahan by freezing it with Blizzaga. There are also another
2 Headless within the area. Use Sleepga and Immobilize on them. If
Dullahan is awake, cast Blizzaga 3 times. If the Headless are awake,
cast Aeroga 3 times. Make your way to Site 3. Beware Dullahan's Ice
Break and Pyromania...
Site 3
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Dullahan, Headless, Bug, Vampyr, Gazer
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
More Dullahan and Headless roam in this area and they are tough.
Immobilize works on Dullahan and so you can use Blizzaga from far and
in a safe position. Headless are suspectible to sleep, so cast sleep
and unleash Aeroga. At the southwest area, you will find a couple of
black treasure pots (those are Bugs) but they are weak against Wind,
so use Aeroga. Vampyr are dark-elemental bats but they can be easily
handle by oiling them and use Firaga. Beware of a Gazer, a spirit enemy
that can teleport and has the ability to use Annul, which drain all the
character's MP! Cast Silence on it to prevent it from doing much harm.
Keep on battling the Vampyr bats as there is a high possibility of them
dropping Zwill Crossblade.
Detour your way back to Site 2 via the other exit.
Site 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Skeleton, Skull Defender, Dullahan, Headless
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find more Headless and Dullahan flock together. Have one
caster use Immobilize, the 2nd caster use Sleepga and the 3rd caster
use Aeroga. Once they are trapped, cast another Aeroga and 2x Blizzaga.
Make your way the area where it got sealed by a gate. Examine the Gate
Switchboard and pick the top option to open it. Now exit.
Shunia Twinspan
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Skeleton, Skull Defender, Dullahan, Headless, Bugs
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
While on the other side, you encountered the easy pairing of Skeletons
& Skull Defenders, in this area, you will encounter 3 pairs of Dullahan
& Headless. Cast Immobilize and Sleepga. Cast Blizzaga to finish both
of them off. The chests in this area are Bugs in disguise. Cast Aeroga
to dispose them off.
Transitway 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Slaven, Skull Defender, Skeleton, Steeling, Vampyr
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
At the western area, you will encounter mostly Vampyr. Have your leader
steal, 2nd character cast Oil and 3rd character cast Sleep. Make your
way towards south and you will find another gate switchboard at the
southwest corner of the area. Examine it and you will be able to open
the gate that has previously block off this area. Now continue to head
west...
Transitway 2
-------------
You will find Kait there along with the Gate Crystal. Save your game.
Tasche Span
--------------
This is an empty area. Just continue to move forward to Site 9.
Site 9
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Vampyr, Killer Mantis
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a Site 9 Cart. Examine it will give you three options - the
1st option gives you to return to the Shaft Entry while the 2nd option
allows you to return back to Transitway 1.
More Vampyr bats will encounter here. As you move within deeper into
the area, you will see Killer Mantis. The mantis creature has the
ability to use Cannibalize. Each Killer Mantis has around 10000 HP but
they are weak against Wind. Aeroga is extremely useful for this
battle. Kill off the Killer Mantis by using Death before you make your
way to the rear end of the area.
First of set up the following Gambits before you make your way to face
the Antlion and the crowded area with 5 Killer Mantis:
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Self: status = HP Critical -> X-Potion
o Ally HP <30% -> Curaja
o Self -> Bubble
o Foe: any -> Aeroga
Before you start to fight them, cast Bubble, Protect, Haste and Regen
on all three characters. Make your way close to the area...
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.20 - Antlion
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
________________________________________________________________
Antlion LV ?? HP: ???? (~100000)
Killer Mantis x5 LV 44 HP: 11943 ea
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Cannalbalize, Gnaw, Flatten, Enrage, Tremor
Notes: -
Well, I just can't imagine what I saw in the begining. All the
enemies are being crowded within one small area. Being a Mantis
creature, Antlion can use Cannalbalize to "eat" a Killer Mantis
thus boosting its stats. Hence your priority is to kill off the
Killer Mantis first to prevent the Antlion from getting too
strong. Killer Mantis are immune to most status ailments but
they are very vulnerable to Death and weak against Wind.
With the above Gambit setup, your characters will keep casting
Aeroga (all the Mantis are weak against Wind) and you can strike
them hard. Bubble + Curaja is compulsory for this fight as the
Antlion has a couple of mean attacks. Flatten does around 700~900
to one character. Thus keeping your character's HP above 1500 at
times is necessary. Having the Zwill Crossblade or any Wind-
elemental weapons does have an advantage but I would suggest to
try to inflict Silence and Slow first. The boss can inflict
Disable on your allies, counter that with Esuna. Once the
Antlion's HP is critical, it will uses Enrage and its attacking
damage will be doubled. Make sure Bubble is on and have the
leader as your primarily healer.
For those who intend to use attacks as your primary strategy,
give the character the Zwill Crossblade and Crystal Shield and
cast Protect on that character. Use Technick Expose to weaken
the Antlion's defense...
Steal: Potion
LP: 25 LP
________________________________________________________________
Once the Antlion is killed, you will meet Kait and Yrlon and there
wll be a short conversation. Unfortunately, they have lost the Site
11 Key. There is nothing much to do, other than heading out of the
mines. Feel free to do some training here as the enemies offer a
decent amount of EXP... Do not open the chest where you find the
Antlion.
Bhujerba
----------
Make your way to the Staras Residence. Talk to Niray and you will get
4300 Gil, a Bubble Belt, a Sickle-Blade item for your efforts. Talk
to her again and you will be able to sell your last bottle of Bhujerba
Madhu to her for another 1000 gil (^_^). Now make your way to the
Aerodome. Use the teleport crystal to teleport back to Rabanastre.
Rabanastre
------------
Back at Rabanastre, talk to Sorbet (and accept the White Mousee Hunt
quest as well) and using Moogling to go the Muthru Bazaar. Now make
your way. The Clan Provisioner will be selling you new items as well.
If you have following this walkthrough and do the hunts, the Clan
Provisioner will be selling the following items:
Clan Provisioner
Accessories Magicks & Tecknicks
------------------------------ --------------------------------
Nihopalaoea 300000 gil Bravery 5800 gil
Bubble Belt 198000 gil Faith 5800 gil
Bubble 3300 gil
Reverse 7600 gil
Get the spells as they will be very useful for future and upcoming
battles. The Nihopalaoea accessory is also good as you can use to
convert your trusty remedies into deadly weapons. The shops in
Rabanastre are still selling the same old items. From there, make your
way to Montblanc.
Talk to it and you get:
o Elixir x2, Teleport Stones x3 for achieving the Riskbreaker Rank
o 1,300 gil and Mallet for defeating the King Bomb at Salikawood
o 1,600 gil for defeating Ahriman at the Sochen Cave Palace
o 1,600 gil for defeating the Mandragoras at the Sochen Cave Palace.
Upon completing the Antlion mark hunt, you will be able to accept the
hunt for the Ancient Man of Mystery (Rank VII) and the petitioner is
Montblanc itself! Accept it.
Now make your way down to the Lowtown - North Sprawl and make your
way to Garamsythe Waterway - it has been a while since you go there.
At the entranceway of the waterway, you will find a crowd surrounding
a Contrite Thief. Talk to him and you will be able to hunt a Rank V
Mark Orthos, which resides in the southeast end of the waterway.

As shown on the map above, you will be shown that the area where you
will encounter this Mark is at the first area when you entering from
the Dalmasca Westersand. The monsters should be pretty easy to handle
by now...
First of all, you need to kill all the enemies here and trigger off
all the traps. At the southeast end of the area, there is a large area
which has some light entering it and you will encounter Speartongues
there. Move close to the bushes of that area and the Mark will
appear...
(Note: it may take you around 6~15 minutes) to make it appear. It is
a gigantic serpent!
________________________________________________________________

heal as Marilith's attack are quite strong and deadly.
Steal: Fire Stone

Stone x3 for your rewards!
Now here is some important stuff that you need to know:
----------------------------------
o The Weather Eye of Giza Plains o
----------------------------------
For those who want to change the season of Giza Plains. Make your way
to Rabanastre's Southgate. Talk to the Adventurer (blue seeq) near the
Chocobo Ranch. He will be renamed as "Weather Eye".
Talk to him and you should either one of the 6 possible responses:
1) The Dry has almost run its course...
The rains can't be off now.
This means the rains is coming soon!
2) The Rains has almost run its course...
The Dry can't be off now.
This means the dry is coming soon!
3) It's the middle of the Rains...
Shouldn't be too much longer till the Dry comes.
This means you got quite some time before the Dry comes...
4) It's the middle of the Dry...
Shouldn't be too much longer till the Rains comes.
This means you got quite some time before the Rains comes...
5) It's only just become the Dry...
Should still be some time before the Rains come again.
This means it is just the beginning of the Dry season.
6) It's only just become the Rains...
Should still be some time before the Drys come again
According to Maltzsan's Game Mechanics' FAQ, the Dry will last 2 hours
and the Rains will last an hour. If you want more details, please refer
to his FAQ.
The Weather Eye can only give you comments and does not really have an
impact on the weather on the Giza Plains.
Thus go the southgate and check if the background of the Giza Plains is
brown. If it is green, this means it is the raining season.
So check the weather now. If it is the Dry season, you can do the
following subquest. If not, go out to some place and kill time for 1
hour of game time...

Ranch area. Talk to her and pick the top option to show her the Feather
of the Flock key item. Now talk to Miffed Moogle and follwed by Gurdy.
There will be some scenes and the Cocaktrice (Moommer). Eventually, you
will get the Defender, a great sword for your assistance. Now use the
Gate Crystal and teleport to Archades
5) Imperial City of Archades

First of all, you need to get the Sandalwood Chop or you will have to
spent time to get it. For details, please refer Section 02-51 for more
details.
Tsenoble
----------
Now make your way to the north end of the area. Talk to the lady
dressed in pink (Docent) and you will be allowed to enter if you have
the Sandalwood Chop. Pick the top option to enter.
Grand Arcade
----------------
Talk to the large Cockatrice (Agytha) [PS: You may need to chase it...
*gasps*] Pick the top option (if you have saw the Cockatrice at Old
Archades) when you managed to get hold of it. Agytha will leave you and
you will get the Tumulus hand-bomb weapon! Make your way to the
Highgarden Terrace
Highgarden Terrace
--------------------
Talk to the Hunt Club Owner (Archadian Gentry) standing in the middle
of a crowd. Tell him that you have been to the Phon Coast. Now exit by
talking to the Docent at the Grand Archade.
Remember to go to Old Archades and talk to Fermon to accept the Hunt
for Lindwyrm (Rank V) at the Alley of Muted Sighs. He located at the
northwest end of the area where he is talking to a group of people. If
you make your way to the Ally of Low Whispers, you will find out that
the other cockatrice is gone as well... Now make your way back to
Imperial City of Archades. Proceed to the Aerodome. Board by leisure

-------------------------------
Once back in Rabanastre, talk to Horne at the moogling terminal.
Choose to go the Muthru Bazaar or the Sandsea. From there, head north
to make your way to the North End. Make your way to the northmost end
of the area. You will find a Cockatrice (Renn) there. Talk to it and it
will run away.
Run in the opposite direction until you reach the street between the
Clan Hall and the Gambit Shop. Once it is get close, WALK towards it
or it will run away! Chasing it behind slowly is also pointless and
thus you need to make use of human "roadblocks" that are near the
blind spot. Please note that by exiting the area or entering into any
of the buildings (Clan Hall or Gambit Shop), you will have to restart
the chase ALL OVER again.
Go to area north off Gambit Shop. There is an Rabanastran there walking
on the streeth. Wait near the pillar where you find a woman in pink.
Once the Cockatrice got blocked off, seize the opportunity and talk to
it. Pick the 2nd option. (if you pick the 1st option, you have to do it
all again!)
Now make your way back the first area where you find it in the first
place. It wil be in the open. Talk to Renn and you will be given 3
options. Pick the 1st option to confirm Cait has return. You will get
the Diamond Sword for your efforts. Now make your way to The Sandsea
or Muthru Bazaar. Use the Moogling Terminal and get to the Southgate.
Make your way back to the Giza Plains (hopefully, it is the Dry season).
Proceed to the Nomad Village.
Nomad Village
---------------
Make your way to the Nomad Village. Talk to Terra who is in the fully-
filled Cocaktrice ranch. Talk to her and you will get 2x Hi-Ether for
your efforts. Well, this marks the end of the quest!
-----------------------
o Sunstone Mini-Quest o
-----------------------
Remember the first time that Vaan helps Jinn to get a Sunstone? You
can do the quest again by talking Masyua. Talk to her and you will be
given the following prompt:
o Can you tell me about Sunstones <-
o Nothing, sorry
She will ask Vaan to help her to make sunstones:
o Sure, why not? <-
o How do I make sunstones?
o No, thanks.
Pick 1st option and you will receive the Shadestone key item. Now just
go out to the plains and examine glowing dark crystals (they are
indciated by ! icons). Examine it for the shadestone to get energy.
Once it is 100%, you will get a Sunstone. Talk to Masyua and you will
get 200 gil, 2 Potions, a Holy Stone for your efforts.
PS: The process is repeatable and the reward does not change...
After giving Elder Bruno the Ring of the Toad, visit Sadeen at Giza
Plains during the raining season (yikes!).

a Gate Crystal. From this point onwards, you can use it to teleport to
Barheim Passage.
Unlike the previous visit, you will be able to venture more deep into
the mines. There are a couple of Suriander at the southwest region.

Special Op Sector 5
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Suriander, Adamantitan
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The area is infested with a lot of Surianders and a Adamantitan. Use
Blizzaga to fight the Suriander (weak against Ice) and Aeroga to
attack the Adamantitan. (Oil + Firaga will deal an instantaneous 9999
HP damage) The chest here contains mainly money and you can get around
1,000 to 3,000 gil per pot. So don't miss them out. Exit the area and
make your way back to Great Central Passage. Take the other path.
East-West Bypass
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Bomb, Mimeo
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find some friendly bombs here. But you can easily attack them
by casting Disable, followed by Blizzaga. The northwest path will lead
to some chests and Mimeos at the rear end. They are vulnerable to oil,
so use them Oil-Firaga combo to your advantage. The traps here are
pretty dangerous. So watch out for them. Avoid opening the chests
here as some of them contain rare treasure.
Zeviah Span
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Mimeo, Bomb, Dead Bones
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the northwest area, there is a Mimeo. Defeat it with Oil-Firaga
combo. You will find more Bombs here. Use Disable on every Bomb you
saw and freeze them up with Blizzaga.
At the T-Junction where the path starts to split, you will fight
Dead Bones. Dead Bones are skeletons but they are strong in magicks
and they use Reflect. Fortunately they are vulnerable to Stop Magick.
So Stop any Dead Bones before you engage battle with. The lower path
on the right leads to the Urn contain the Barheim Candle which will
reveal the additional section.
Go back to main path and take the left lower path. Defeat the Dead
Bones and Bombs that are in your way. Once you reached the 2nd
T-Junction, head south till you find a Precarious Cart on the left
area. Examine it and it will open a secret path. Defeat the Dead
Bones there and head south.
West Annex
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Specter, Dead Bones
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Endless Specter and Dead Bones will regenerate in this area. Make use
of Disable on Specter and silence the Dead Bones. You can defeat a
Specter instantly by using a Phoenix Down on it like other ghost type
creatures. Move along the southern path and battle the Specter and
Dead Bones (hopefully, you still got a lot of MP left) as eventually,
the Mark - Bloodwing will appear.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.24 - Bloodwing
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
________________________________________________________________
Bloodwing LV ?? HP: ???? (~30000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Leech, Gnaw, Eerie Soundwave
Notes: -
The Bloodwing is a flying monster and you can't hurt with non-
range weapons but it can be quite weak considering. Eerie
Soundwave does around 120~200 HP to all allies, while Gnaw does
around 200~400 HP damage with the probability of inflicting
Poison. The main attack is Leech which drains around 700 HP but
you can still live with it. Thundaga seems quite effective on
it. Thus keep on unleash it and shock with electricity!
Steal: Bat Fang
LP: 22 LP
________________________________________________________________
Upon defeating it, your Clan Rank should be upgraded to the Paragon
of Justice if you have been following this walkhrough. Keep on head
westwards. You will battle more Spectars and Dead Bones along the
way. But with Disable and Phoenix Down on Spectars should allow
you to move onward without much difficulty.
Terminus No. 7 Adjunct
-----------------------
There is a Save Crystal. Use it and save your game. If you do not
have even number level characters, go back to the previous area and
train till they got level up a even number level.
Now bring out a party whose level is even numbered. Equip Black Belts
on 2 characters and 1 character with the Nijishin Belt. Set up the
following Gambits:
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Self: status = HP Critical -> X-Potion
o Ally: HP <30% -> Curaja
o Ally: status = Confuse -> Smelling Salts
o Ally: status = Sleep/Disable -> Alarm Clock/Remedy*
o Ally: status = Slow -> Haste
o Self: status = Sap -> Regen
o Foe: status = Reflect -> Dispelga
* Depends on the accessory equipped.
Switch the character's weapon to Greatswords (the Defender that you
have gotten earlier comes handy) and Hammer and Axe as their weapons.
Now cast Protect, Shell, Bravery, Faith, Bubble, Regen and Haste
on all your characters.
Terminus No. 7
---------------
Make your way to Mist filled area and you will fight Zalera.
________________________________________________________________
Zalera LV ?? HP: ???? (~40000)
Dead Bones A LV 38 HP: 3394
Dead Bones B LV 38 HP: 3394
Dead Bones C LV 38 HP: 3394
Dead Bones D LV 38 HP: 3394
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Kill, Prime Lv. Death, Death, Sleepga, LV4 Break,
LV3 Disable, LV2 Sleep
Notes: Protect, Shell, Reflect, Haste
A timer of 5:00 minutes will appear & it means you will need
defeat the Esper within 5 minutes.
You will see a message that "Zalera braces against all attacks".
Your attacks will do 0 damage this point of time. Therefore
focus your attacks on Dead Bones. Dispel off the positive status
Zalera has. Now keep on attacking the Dead Bones. Around 1+
minute passed, Zalera will start to use Kill and its cloth
attacks, which has the probability of causing Confuse. Once the
character is killed, all your positive status will be gone. Cast
Bubble followed by Curaja using that character. This is followed
by some of the status spells:
o LV4 Break
- Casts Break on all characters - any character's level which is
multiple of 4 will be infected with Petrify status. (LV 4, 8,
12, 16, 24, 28...)
o LV3 Disable
- Cast Disable on all characters - any character's level which
is multiple of 3 will be infected with Disable status. (LV 3,
6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24...)
o LV2 Sleep
- Cast Sleep on all characters - any character's level which is
multiple of 2 will be infected with Sleep status (LV 2, 4, 6,
8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18...)
Once your character get hit by the petrify status, cast Stona/
Esuna or use a Gold Needle to remove it. Keep on attacking
normally and cast Haste on the characters. Heal the status as it
comes. Once Zalera's HP is critical, its defense will raise.
It will use Prime Lv. Death on only 2 occassion, the first time
when its HP is below 50% and the 2nd time when it is about to be
killed. BTW, I managed to defeat without use a Quickening...
Steal: Pebble
LP: 80
________________________________________________________________
Upon defeating the Esper, Zalera the Death Seraph, will join your party
and will appear on the License Board. You will be able to learn it and
summon it. Now head westwards and exit this area and you will end up at
the Garamsythe Waterway.

Facing south the Sluice Gate Controls will be like this.
No. 11 No.4 No. 3 No. 10
Waterway Waterway Waterway Waterway
Control Control Control Control
You can only switch on 2 panels at a time.
Once a sluice gate is being closed, the orb of the control will light
up. By default the No.10 Waterway Control gate is closed off. Now close
off the No.3 Sluice Gate. If done, correctly the orb of No. 3 Waterway
control will light up. Make your way to No.3 Clocaca Spur area.
No.3 Clocaca Spur
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Lizard, Gespenst
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The water will drain up. You will fight a spirit-type enemy called
Gespenst and it has a lot of nasty spells such as Silence and Death.
Defeat it first. Head to southwest end of area and you will find a No.1
South Waterway Control. Examine it and choose to close the Sluice
Gates. One of the stairs will lead to the lower area where you can
find chests there. If you head southwest area of the No.1 Clocaca,
you will fight Malboro Overking and another Gespenst there. Silence
the Gespenst first before he starts to use its deadly dark magicks.
Central Waterway Control
-------------------------
Switch off the No. 3 and No. 10 Waterway Controls (i.e. open the sluice
gates). Now switch on the No. 4 and No. 11 Waterway Controls (i.e.
close the sluice gates). Head to the No.4 Clococa Spur via one of the
southeast exits.
No.4 Clocaca Spur
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Gespenst
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
More annoying Gespenst here, just cast Oil on it. Equip Rose Corsage to
protect your magick caster against Silence. Use Firaga once it is oiled.
There is another control orb similiar to the one that you see in No.3
Clocaca Spur. Examine it (No.1 North Waterway Control) to switch it on
and close the sluice gates.
Now make your way back to Central Waterway Control.
Central Waterway Control
-------------------------
Open the No. 11 Sluice Gate (i.e. turn off the No 11 Waterway Control).
Turn on No.3 Sluice Gate Control. This means about No.3 and No.4
Controls are on. Now use the Save Crystal and save your game.
Equip 2 characters with the Black Belts and give the leader the
Nihopaloa accessory.
Set up the following Gambits:
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Self: status = HP Critical -> X-Potion
o Ally: HP <30% -> Curaja
o Self -> Bubble
o Ally: status = Confuse -> Smelling Salts
o Ally: status = Disable -> Remedy/Esuna
o Ally: status = Sleep -> Alarm Clock
o Ally: status = Immobilize -> Esuna/Remedy
o Ally: status = Slow -> Haste
o Ally: status = Sap -> Regen
o Foe: targeting self -> Attack
Now cast Protect, Shell, Bravery, Faith, Bubble, Regen and Haste
on all your characters. Make your way to the No.1 Clocaca.
Switch off attacking gambits like Foe: party leader's target and
left Foe: targeting self ON.
No.1 Clocaca
---------------
Make your way down to the central area. The gate is located at the
southwest area.
________________________________________________________________
Cúchulainn LV ?? HP: ???? (~70000)
Foobar A LV 43 HP: 6315
Foobar B LV 44 HP: 6545*
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Bio, Toxify, Slowga, Immobilizga, Malaise, Mana Spring,
Invert, Disablega
Notes: Protect, Shell, Haste, Regen
First, the battlefield has a Sap status and there is nothing you
do about it. Thus, making the battle extremely difficult. Start
off by having the leader use Dispel, the 2nd character uses
Expose and 3rd character Shear on Cúchulainn.
Once the Foobar appears, have the leader use the Remedy. With
Nihopaloa equipped, Remedy will eventually become status
ailments give the enemy a whole set of status ailments. Once you
got 2 Foobars on the battle, do not attack them. Instead focus
on Cúchulainn. Because on the battlefield, you will fight 2
Foobars at most. The recent for ignoring the Foobars is because
of its ability to cast Sleep and other nasty statuses on your
allies. With Nihopaloa + Remedy combo, the Foobar will be under
Doom status which means they will die anyway...
Keep on attacking it as the Gambits will help you in your curing.
When the Cúchulainn is about to use the Disablega, switch the
leader's accessory to a Black Belt. When Cúchulainn is about to
use Immbolizega, switch to Jackboots for all characters. Below is
the summary of Cúchulainn's attacks:
o Bio - HP damage to all allies + Sap
o Toxify - Poison damage to all allies
o Disablega - Cast Disable status on all allies
o Immobilizega - Cast Immobilizega status on all allies
o Slowga - Cast Slow on all allies
o Mana Spring - Drains MP from one ally
o Malaise - Drains HP from one ally
o Invert - Switches between HP and MP for one character
Invert is a very dangerous attack and sometimes may cause
instant death for your characters. But your character's HP will
transfer to HP and it will make your MP back to full. Once
revived, your character will come back with full MP!
Just keep on attacking on Cúchulainn until its HP is below 30%.
Unleash your Mist Quickening when it is using a Disablega -
make sure all characters are equipped with Black Belt during
that time.
Unleash your most powerful combo and victory will be yours in
no time. The reason for unleashing Mist Quickening when
Cúchulainn is using Disablega is because any character who are
under the Disable or Immobilize status, will be unable to
participate to chain the Quickenings...
Steal: Scorpio Gem
LP: 50
________________________________________________________________
Once the battle is over, Cúchulainn, the Impure will be available on
the License Board. For those who are interested in completing the
monsters for this area, please read the following:
Ghost and Garchimacera
------------------------
At the Central Waterway Control, switch on the following 2 panels -
No. 4 and No. 11 Waterway Controls. Make your way to No. 11 Channel.
Move a big roundabout along till your reach No. 10 Channel (i.e.
you need to make a detour and go through the Southern Sluiceway).
At the D-shaped Walkway, you will encounter Ghosts and Garchimacera
instead of the Malboro Overkings and Lizards and this is partly
to the increased water levels. However, to exit, you need to make
another big detour to get out of the area.
Bartitine Crocs
-----------------
You can only battle them at Channel No. 11 if you go down to the lower
end of the areas with the sluice gate for No.4 and No. 11 are closed.
i.e. The water levels are fully drained.
Foobars
--------
You can fight them at the Nabreus Deadlands. However, you can also
battle them at the area where you previously fought the Cúchulainn.
They are vulnerable to sleep and offer some good drops.
That's all for the Garamsythe Waterways!
Now exit the Waterways via the exit from the Overflow Clocaca. Make
your way to Rabanastre.

________________________________________________________________
Gilgamesh LV ?? HP: ???? (~150,000)
Enkidou LV ?? HP: ???? (~10,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Slice Thrice, Kick, Perfect Defence, Ultimate Illusion
Notes: None
First of all, dispose of Enkidou and cast Dispel to remove its
Protect/Shell/Haste status. It has around 10,000 HP. Beware of
its Sonics Fangs as it deals 400 HP + Slow.
1st Form
----------
Once Gilgamesh's pet is down, focus on Gilgamesh. He will initiate
Slice Thrice, a combo techniques that deals 400 HP to all allies.
Deplete his HP till 75%. You can steal a Potion from him.
2nd Form
----------
There will be some speeches and he will draws out a new sword
(which his new form). He comes with a couple new attacks. You
can also steal another Potion from him. Keep on attacking him till
his HP fall to 60%
3rd Form
----------
He will draws a gray cleaver. He will also come with Protect
status. Dispel it first before you attack on attacking him. Keep
note of your party's HP, cast Curaja if necessary. Keep on
attacking him till his HP fall to 45%
4th Form
----------
He will draws another weapon. Remember to steal the Genji Shield
from him when he is in this form. It may take more 1 attempt to
steal it. He can cause Silence with his normal attacks. Use an
Echo Herbs if that happens.
This is your ONLY chance in the game to get the shield. Gilgamesh
will also has Protect, Shell and Haste. Dispel those spells first.
Continue to attack him till he reveals his final form when his HP
is at 25%
5th Form
----------
He will draws out his final weapon. He will comes with Protect,
Shell, Haste, Regen and Reflect in this form. Dispel all those
statuses. Remember to steal the Genji Gloves from him before you
defeat him. Once his HP is critical, he will unleash Perfect
Defence where he will be immune to any forms of attack. Re-cast
Bubble, Regen and Bravery every character. Once his HP gets
critical, like most bosses, his defense will raise. He will
also use a Technick - Utlimate Illusion, which does 800-1000 HP
damage to all allies. Wait for a while, at the defense of magick
shield will disappear and you attack Gilgamesh once again.
Unleash your Quickening to finish off the battle in style...
Steal: 1st to 3rd Form - Potion x3
4th Form - Genji Shield
5th Form - Genji Gloves
LP: 27 LP (Enkidou), 70 (Gilgamesh)
________________________________________________________________
Now Gilgamesh has run away and there is nothing that you can do about
it. Return back to the Gate Crystal and save your game if you have
stolen the Genji Gloves and Genji Shield. If not, reset and try again.
(The battle is really easy compared to your other fights).
Before getting out of the mines, make your way to the spot where you
fought the Antlion previously (Site 9) There is 50% chance of you
getting the Fomalhaut - the game's best gun if you examine that chest.
Make your way back to the Gate Crystal and teleport your way back to
Dalmasca Estersand.
Dalmasca Eastersand
---------------------
Talk to No. 381 and collect your bounty for defeating the Bloodwing
at the Barheim Passage - 2,400 gil, 1x Stun Bombs and 1x Vampyr Fang.
Now use the Teleport Crystal and teleport your way to Mt. Bur-Omisace.
Mt. Bur-Omisace
------------------
Talk to Gurdy and accept the Hunt for the Trickster (Rank V) Hunt. Now
make some preprations and make your way to the Frozen Brook area.
Frozen Brook
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: White Wolf, Skull Warrior, Lizard, Ice Elemental
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will meet Monid the Bangaa from the Clan Hall there. If you don't
meet him, that means the Trickster won't appear as well. Thus keep
exiting and re-entering until you meet Monid. Like Bansat in the
previous fight, Monid will join you in the battle.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.25 - Trickster
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
________________________________________________________________
Trickster LV ?? HP: ???? (~60000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Wild Charge, Lunge, Peck, Choco-Comet
Notes: Haste
During the battle against the Trickster, you still face the
enemies like Ice Elemental, Skull Warriors, White Wolves and
the Lizard. So destroy them first. Equip Rose Corsage so that
you will be guard against Silence, which is often use by the Ice
Elemental. Monid helps to battle but he isn't that strong so
don't rely on him too much though...
The Trickster is vulnerable to Sleep and Blind. Make sure you
inflict Blind early in the battle. Sleep is useful but
considering you don't have any non-elemental spells currently,
blind will still be your best bet. Elemental spells such as
Blizzaga, Firaga and Thundaga will be absorbed by Trickster.
Hence don't bother to use spells.
Its Wild Charge deals around 600 HP damage to a single ally, thus
making low HP character to instant death easily. Once its HP is
down 50%, White Wind condition will appear thus making it immune
to status ailments for at least 2 to 3 minutes. Once its HP
critical, the battle status Paling will initiate and Trickster
will be immune to physical attacks for around 3 minutes or so.
During that period, cast Bubble and Protect on your character
and keep enduring till the Paling effect is over. Trickster
tends to use Choco-Comet which does non-elemental damage to all
allies for around 800 per character. However, you can block it
with shield (all 3 shield licenses acquired) and reduce its hit
rate with Blind. Once Paling effect is over, attack it and
victory will be yours sooner or later... Likewise for those who
want to go for quick kill, unleash your Mist Quickenings once
the Trickster's HP is below 20%.
Steal: Chocobo Feather
LP: 25
________________________________________________________________
Once the Trickster is defeated, return back to Mt. Bur-Omisace.
Talk to Gurdy and you will get 4800 gil along with Deimos Clay loot
item for your efforts.
The remaining hunts are recommended that you handle them when you got
hands on some better magicks and technicks later in the game. Make the
following preparations:
o Get 3x Nishijin Belts, 3x Black Belts, 3x Rose Corsage (bought from
Dalmasca Westersand)
o Purchase all abilities that are for sale
o All available monographs
o Get the best available armor for 3 characters
o Stock up at least 45 X-Potions
o At least 20 Vaccines if you do not have Remedy Lore 3 license.
o Acquire all abilities in the License Board (excluding Armor and
Weapon licenses)
Once you are done with your preparations, make your way to Jahara.
Jahara - Bank of Sogoht
-------------------------
Hitch a Chocobo from Gurdy for 30 gil. Ride your way across the
Ozmone Plains and make your way to the Sunlit Path area. Dismount
there.
Ozmone Plain - Sunlit Path
----------------------------
Directly apposite off the Save Crystal, you will find a blinking item
called "Scrap of Paper". Examine it and you will get 2 Alarm Clocks.
It is from the wounded Imperial Soldier that you have helped earlier.
Make your way inside the Golmore Jungle

Walk of Flitting Rifts
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Deadly Nightshade, Golem, Mu, Tartarus
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't move forward. Cast Libra and there is a trap just in front of
you! Make sure Libra is cast on at all times as some of the traps can
be very extremely dangerous.
In the area near the Golmore Jungle, you will fight Deadly Nightshade.
Put them into deep sleep with Sleepga and cast Blizzaga for a freezing
effect. They can use Pollens - which causes Sleep, Silence and Poison.
So put them into sleep is your priority.
Near the entrance leading to the Paramina Rift, you will find a Golem
there. Make use of Aeroga for easier damage and they are vulnerable to
Sleep as well. So cast Sleep and Oil + Firaga for more damage!
Mu, a stronger versions of the rabbits, are very dangerous as they can
cast Confuse. Hence cast Silence and Sleep on them to prevent them
from acting any mischief.
At the south end of the area, you will find a Tartarus, a stronger
version of Hellhounds. Put them into sleep as well and you might want
to soak them with Oil + Firaga. They drop X-Potions so don't miss the
chance!
There are two pathways. First of all, take the southeast route. There
is a trap there. Equip Steel Poleyns if you have it or switch out all
members except the one with Libra so you can cross it safely...
Walk of Stolen Truths
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Cerberus, Tartarus, Golem
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your radar will be jammed and you won't be able to use it. You will
encounter more dangerous enemies. Cerberus looks like Tartarus except
they have a fire-light on its horn. The Oil-Firaga combo does not work
against it as it absorbs Fire. Thus make use of Sleep-Blizzaga combo.
Since your radar isn't work, you have rely on the actual map (press
SELECT) and use the cursor's arrow to determine your bearings.
The Urn is located at the northeast end of the area. Grab that first.
Surprised that that area is quite small right? Make your way to
Antiquity's End.
Antiquity's End
------------------
There is a Save Crystal here. Head south southwards and there will be
a message saying "dense mist prevent you from advancing" and it will
trigger a cutscene. Now return back to the Save Crystal and do the
following preparations:
o Equip Bowline Sash on all 3 characters.
Set up the following Gambits:
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Self: status = HP Critical -> X-Potion
o Ally: HP <30% -> X-Potion
o Ally: status = Confuse -> Smelling Salts
o Ally: status = Sap -> Remedy
o Ally: status = Disease -> Vaccine/Remedy
o Ally: status = Sleep -> Alarm Clock
o Ally: status = Slow -> Haste
o Foe: targeting self -> Attack
Now cast Protect, Shell, Bravery, Faith, Bubble, Regen and Haste on
all 3 participating members. Head southwards
Redolent Glade
----------------
There will be some scenes and you will have to fight a large flower..
Your characters' MP will be draining for this battle!
________________________________________________________________
Rafflesia LV ?? HP: ???? (~38000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Curse, Pollen Dance, Syphon, Nectar Volley
Notes: Shell
First of all, have the leader cast Dispel, the 2nd character
use Expose while the 3rd character use Shear. Have the leader
cast Silence while other 2 characters attacks.
Its Nectar Volley will causes Sap and deals around 400 damage to
one ally. Syphon drains MP from your characters. Curse causes
a variety of status ailments - Sap, Disease, Poison & Confuse
but you can prevent it with Silence. Pollen Dance is very deadly
as it could inflict Confuse on all characters but with the
Bowline Sash it should not pose you any problem.
If you do cast all the status upgrades I have listed earlier,
the battle is a walk in a park. Your characters can easily deal
2000+ HP damage on Rafflesia attack with Expose + Bravery on
your characters.
Steal: Screamroot
LP: 31
________________________________________________________________
Once the flower is out of your way, return back to Antiquity's End. Use
the Save Crystal there to restore back your HP/MP & save your game. If
you are interesting in more exploring, you can head back northwest
(Walk of Dancing Shadows)
Walk of Dancing Shadows
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Mirrorknight, Tartarus, Mu
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mirrorknights are upgraded versions of Bagoly type monsters. They
likes to use Reflect. Hence it is no point using spells unlike you got
the Opal Ring equipped on the caster. But they are pretty weak and you
should be able to take them out rather easily. They drop Mirror Mail,
a body armor that has auto-Reflect. Other than the Mirrorknights, you
will also encounter Tartarus and Mu in that area.
The northwest exit leads to the Hennes. You will be visiting there
later. Return back to Antiquity's End and head south to Redolent Glade.
Head further south to the next area.
White Magick's Embrace
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Preying Mantis, Mirrorknight, Basilisk
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find some Preying Mantis here. Use Blindga and Oil, followed
by Firaga to kill them off. Mirrorknights can be encountered here too.
Just keep on attacking them and do not use magicks. If you get close
to the boulders, serpents called "Basilisk" will appear. Strike them
with Thundaga. There is another Urn located at the southeast end of
the area and it contains the Feywood Candle which reveals the
additional hidden areas.
Ice Field of Clearsight
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Basilisk, Preying Mantis, Behemoth
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will encounter most Basilisk and Preying Mantis here. A Behemoth is
approaching where you will hear roars. Just cast 2 Blizzaga and they
will be dead Behemoth meat in no time.
To proceed to the next area, you need to activate the Feywood Gylphs. A
Feywood Gylph is like a chamber with a star-shaped symbol in the middle.
There are 4 such structures on the map.
White Magick's Embrace
/
FG1
FG FG2
FG3
/
The Edge of Reason
The area will look something like this. Go to FG1. Go to the middle of
the chamber. Once you stand in the middle of it, you will see "Feywood
Gylph" marker appearing. Check it with X button and pick the top
option. Now rotate the camera until you saw an illusion of a green
forest walkway, not the normal reflection images of your party moving.
Once you saw that, move your party across it.
Now make your FG2, do the same that you do it for FG1. Once you done
for FG2, make your way to FG3. Do the same for FG3 and you will see the
pathway appearing at the southern region of the area will be available
for you to cross.

The enemies here are pretty easy to handle as you can defeat most of
the enemies rather easily with Bravey + Haste status. Watch for
Behemoths when use the Bacchus's Wine and they can deal 1000+ damage
with their attacks. So target Blizzaga on them as soon as you sees
them. In the area southwest off FG1, you will find Giruveganus -
inflict Blind/Sleep on it and freeze it with Blizzaga. At the area
where you find Giruveganus, you will find a trap. Inside that trap, if
there is a chest, mostly likely is Deathbringer sword or the
Ensanguined Shield (!). But the appearance of the chest is random and
it depends a lot on luck...
You will find Feywood Gylphs here. Now make your way FG1. Examine it
and find the forest illusion. Make your way FG2, you will find Preying
Mantis. Defeat them and examine the Gylph and locate the correct
illusion. Now make your way to FG3. You will find Behemoths here.
Freeze them with Blizzaga and examine the Gylph. Do the same thing that
you done for the previous two Gylphs. Go to FG4 and you will find 2
more Behemoths there. Defeat them and examine the Feywood Glyph. Do
the same thing that you have doing all along and you will find a huge
gate - labelled "Gate Gigas".
Bring in the summoner and have the summoner summons Belias. Examine
the gate and pick the 2nd option to touch it. Belias will open the
path for you...

There will be some scenes and you have finally reached the Ancient
City of Giruvegan. Now follow Ashe and make your way down the pathway.
You will find a Gate Crystal. Use it and save your game.
o---------------------------------------------------------o
| Deathbringer & Ensanguined Shield |
| I have tested this out myself. The chest is completely |
| random and it regenerates upon reset and even if you |
| have gotten the previous chests. It is a good way to |
| revisit the previous area as you can fight Behemoths |
| and the Giruveganus. Below are the statuses of these |
| 2 decent equipment, which you can get without the |
| Diamond Armlet: |
| o Deathbringer: |
| Attack +90 + KO (Note: killing enemies this way does |
| not give you any EXP, LP or even loot!) I will still |
| prefer the Defender Sword |
| o Ensanguined Shield |
| Evasion +90 - Poison, Sap and Slow status |
| Once you got one, go back to this Gate Crystal, save |
| your game, reload & go back to grab the other treasure. |
o---------------------------------------------------------o
Check your inventory and make sure you have the following stuff:
o 3 Ice Shields, 3 Flame Shields, 3 Rose Corsage
o Sleepga, Disable, Blizzaga, Curaja
Make some preparations:
o Equip Ice Shields for 3 characters
o Equip the best armor for your characters - preferably the Carabineer
Mail
Cast the following on your characters and you should know the drill.
Protect, Shell, Bravery, Faith, Float, Bubble, Regen & Haste.
Now go further westwards until you saw a Way Stone. Touch it and you
will be warped to the Gate of Water.
Gate of Water
---------------
Before you can fight the enemies here, you will have fight a guardian
and it is a tough nut to crack...
________________________________________________________________
Daedalus LV ?? HP: ???? (~66000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Tri-Attack, Tremor, Ice Break, Smite of Rage, Rage,
Darkra
Notes: -
Daedalus will start off by casting Haste on itself...
Have the leader dispel off its positive status ailments, the 2nd
character use Expose and the 3rd character uses Shear.
Daedalus is a Headless-class monster and it has a couple of
strong attacks like:
o Tri-Atttack - +1000 HP damage to a single character + Slow
o Tremor - 700+ HP damage to all characters (earth elemental)
- Dragon Shield will nullify them (which you can buy at Phon
Coast or you are already guarded with Float cast on your
party)
o Ice Break - 500+ HP damage to all characters (ice elemental)
o Smite of Rage - 700+ HP damage to one target
o Rage - 1000+ HP damage to all targets
On top of those attacks, Daedalus chain combo attacks and they
are deadly if your party's HP is low. Thus try to keep Bubble,
Protect and Haste statuses on at all times. Fight the bosses
normally as you do. Conserve your MP throughout the battle.
Once the boss' HP gets critical, it's attack will increase
considerablely and at point of time, you can't do anything about
it. Once the boss' HP is left with only 1/6, unleash your Mist
Quickening to finish the job off.
PS: If you cast the spells I mentioned earlier, you might even
defeat Daedalus before it uses Smite of Rage....
Steal: Dark Crystal, Forbidden Flesh
LP: 33
________________________________________________________________
Go back to the previous area, your party is really battered. I
suggest you to do that as the battles upcoming are not that easy...
Save your game.
Once you are done, return back here and the Way Stone on the west.
The Trimahla Water-Steps
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Behemoth, Gargoyle Baron, Mythril Golem, Vivian
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Set the following attacking Gambits:
o Foe: status = Sleep -> Blizzaga
o Foe: status = Disable -> Blizzaga
More Behemoths will be encounter here. Use Immobilize and Sleepga on
them followed by casting Blizzaga. Next to the area, where you fight
the Behemoths, you will see an Aviro Gate Stone. Examine. Go down the
ramp and you will fight a new enemy - Gargoyle Baron. Cast Disable on
it before fight it. Use Sleepga on Behemoths and Disable on Gargoyle
Barons and this area should be quite easy to handle.
The map of the area is located at the southeast corner of this area.
Make sure you grab it from the urn. It might not appear during this
period but make sure you check it when you revisit this place
again...
Move down the ramp till you reach east-end of the area. You will find
2 Mythril Golem. Cast Sleepga on them and toss Blizzaga as your
primarily attacking magick.
You will find Chthes Gate Stone. Examine it and magick forcefield will
be turn off and you will be allow to pass.
At northwest end of the area, you will encounter Vivian, a stronger
version of Malboros, toss Sleepga and Oil for easier finishing.
BTW, the chests in this area are in shapes of a crystal instead of a
normal chests you find the previous areas. The exit is at the
midwest area (just move along the winding path) and you will find
another 2 Mythril Golems there. Upon defeating one, a green magick
path will appear. Just follow the pathway to the next area
The Aadha Water-Steps
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Vivian, Behemoth, Gargolye Baron, Mythril Golem,
Diakon Entite*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you go down the walkway, you will see more Behemoths. Charm them
to sleep using Sleepga and put them into the freezer with Blizzaga.
Defeat the Gargoyle along the walkway (prevent them from attack with
Disable) and make your way to another platform where you find 2 more
Mythril Golems. Cast Sleepga and the Gambits will do the rest. However,
the Thundaga seems to more efficient on the Golems as metal conduct
electricity...
Examine the Paron Gate Stone is in the middle of the golem to turn
off magick forcefields. It will not open the forcefield closest to it
but another one. Make a U-Turn and move down the walkway, dispatch
any Behemoths or Gargoyle Barons that come in your way. At the north
west end of the area, you will find 2 more Mythril Golem. Put them
into sleep by casting Sleepga on them followed by Thundaga. You will
find the Parelthon Gate Stone. Examine it and turn off the previous
magick forcefield where you find the Paron Gate Stone.
Move all the way south and fight the Vivians and Gargoyle Barons that
are in your way till you reached the southeast end of the area. You
will find 2 Mythril Golems at the end of your party. You will find
Tychi Gate Stone. Examine it. Move your way back up the ramp that
at southeast end of the area. You will fight more Vivians. Put them
into sleep before your characters got infected by its Putrid Breath.
Once you have activated the 3 stones, make your way to west-end most
of the area, you will find Gargoyle Barons and Vivians in a group.
Toss Sleepga and Disable. You will find another Mythril Golem at the
southwest end of the area. Defeat it and the 2nd magick path will
appear. Cross it.
The Haalmikah Water-Steps
---------------------------
There will be a cutscene while you are walking on the pathway. Move
forward and you will end up in front of a large gate called "Bulwark
Chronos". Examine it and you will be able to access the Save Crystal
behind it.
Do the following:
o Equip Flame Shields on your character if they are using single-handed
weapons
Set up the following Gambits:
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Self: status = HP Critical -> X-Potion
o Ally: HP <30% -> Curaja
o Ally: status = Sap -> Regen
o Ally: status = Poison -> Antidote
o Ally: status = Slow -> Haste
o Foe: targeting self -> Attack
Cast Protect, Shell, Faith, Bravery, Bubble, Regen and Haste on all the
3 participating characters for the upcoming boss fight.
Read the paragraph on "Gate of Fire"
Now examine the "Bulwark Hemera" door and you will be able to move
onto the next area.
Gate of Fire
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Gargoyle Baron, Vivian
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Enemies will appear here ONLY after you have defeat the boss in
this area
Before continuing to move forward, here is a map of an empty area.
_ _ ___ The "---" represents the stairs,
____ | |---| | | _| S represents the starting point
| __ |_| |---| |---| | and X is the spot where you see
|| |__ | |_|---|_| the hidden path.
_||_____| |
|_ []_[] |X _ _ Once you reach the spot marked "X"
|| __| | | | | | Move your party against the empty
||__| _ |---| |---| |_ space and a hidden magick path
|____| |_|---|_|---|___| will appear.
S
I supposed of the purpose of having a complex area to remove the
positive status effects that you have cast area. Once the magick path
is uncovered, you can go back to Save Crystal and cast positive effects
again. Or
From the starting point, head west and up the small steps. Move all the
way north until you saw a box form on the right of radar. Move against
the open space and it eventually, it will unveil a hidden path. Cross
the hidden magick and there will be some scenes...
A large dragon comes and you will have to battle it!
________________________________________________________________
Tyrant LV ?? HP: ???? (~181,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Bile, Lunge, Thundaga, Sonic Fangs, Piercing Graviga
Fireball, Firaga
Notes: Haste, Protect, Shell
Technicks will be locked for this battle and it means you can't
use Expose, Shear, Charge or even Steal!
This boss is by far most the most HP that you have ever
encountered in the game yet.
Start off by dispeling its positive statuses.
o Bile - Multiple hit attack (600+) against 1 ally +
Poison/Sap
o Thundaga - heavy lightning damage against all allies.
o Sonic Fangs - heavy non-elemental atatck against 1 ally +
Slow
o Piercing - Halves all allies' HP (Can MISS!)
Graviga
o Fireball - Fire-elemental damage against one ally
Well, the boss absorbs Lightning elemental attacks, hence avoid
equipping your characters with lightning elemental weapons such
as the Storm Spear. Faith + Blizzaga is extremely efficient as
you can hit 9999 HP damage with it. Watch for the boss' Piercing
Graviga as it could halves your character's HP and fortunately it
can miss (*phew*). Cast Curaja if that happens.
The boss' normal attack does around 400 HP even if with Protect
on and has a probability of causing Poison. Use an Antidote/cast
Poisona if that happens.
Steal: N/A
LP: 33
________________________________________________________________
Upon defeating the boss, a Way Stone will appears on that area. Go
back to Save Crystal, your HP is severely depleted. I suggest you to
do so...
Upon you are done with your healing, examine that Way Stone and you
will be teleported to...

The way stone that bring you inside the Great Crystal is called Way
Stone VIII. Unlike other dungeons, Way Stones are being labelled. The
northeast exit is blocked off by "Gate Scoprio" magick barrier. You
are left with 2 paths. One of them is upward slopping and the other
one is downward slopping.
Take the upward slopping path.
Sthaana Scorpio
-----------------
You will find 2 Mom Bombs. Beware of their Self-Destruct skill. Put
them into sleep before they pose you any serious problem. You will find
the Scorpio Gate Stone. Examine it. You won't be able to open the gate.
Now make your way back the previous area. Take the downward slopping
path.
Kabonii Jilaam Pratii'vaa
--------------------------
You will encounter 2 Oses here. Put the Oses into sleep once you
encounter one as they can unleash a Hell Blaster which is a very
deadly status bomb that result you need to use a Remedy to cure.
Underneath the trap, it is a treasure chest. You will get either a
Black Mask or an Elixir. It is completely random. If you got the Black
Mask, return back to Save Crystal and save your game. If not reset, it
is 50-50 chance and the chest do not respawn. Take the downward
slopping path and you will reach...
Kabonii Jilaam Avaa
---------------------
More Oses will be encountered. Cast Sleepga immediately you sees one. It
doesn't matter if you "over-cast" as they can provide you a lot of nasty
statuses with Hell Blaster.

You will find another Way Stone (VII) here use it to teleport and you

----------------
There you will find more Oses there. Cast Sleep whenever you see one.
There is a treasure chests here. You will get a White Robes or Knot
of Rust. If you got a Knot of Rust, I suggest you reset. As the chest
has also a 50-50 chance. If you get it, go back to the Save Crystal
and save your game and return back here to resume.
Take the other downward slopping path and you should reach...
Sthaana Cancer
----------------
You will find 2 Mythril Golems along with the Cancer Way Stone. Defeat
the Mythril Golems here and activate the Cancer Way Stone. Now make your
way back to Area [1].
Take the east path.
Bhrum Pis Pratii
------------------
Defeat the Oses here. Take the other path, which should be a downward
slopping pathway.
Dha Vikaari Trahk

You will find another Way Stone V here. If you visiting the second time,
you may encounter Reapers. Silence them first before engage a fight.

Trahk Jilaam Praa'dii
-----------------------
You will find 3 Mom Bombs. Cast Sleep on them and finish them off with
Blizzaga. Beware the Bomb's Self-Destruct skill. Ignore this chest for
the time being. It will be either a Knot of Rust or a Holy Lance.
Sthaana Aries
---------------
You will encounter a new enemy - Necroprobes. Silence them and kill them
with a Phoenix Down for a fast kill. Examine the Aries Gate Stone to
deactivate the Gate Aries at Sthaana Pisces (marked [3] on the map).
Now backtrack till you reached the place you find Way Stone IV. From
there, take the downward slopping path.
Trahk Pis Praa
---------------
Slain off those annoying Oses. Put them in slumber sleep before they
unleash their deadly Hell Blasters. Take the other downward slopping
path.
Sthaana Pisces
---------------
You will find 2 Mythril Golems here. Put them into sleep with Sleepga
and cast Thundaga while they are sleep. If you find it taking a bit too
long, cast Faith on your magick caster. Head south from there and you
will reach...
Dha Vikaari Jula
------------------
You will find Waystone III there. Examine it. There will be some
scenes and you will end up in the...
Crystal Core
-------------
There is a Save Crystal here. Backtrack and make your way to the area
where you find the chest containing the Holy Lance. If you do not get,
reset the game. It will give you a strong elemental advantage.
From Way Stone III, make your way towards the direction where you find
another Way Stone. That's Way Stone I. Before examining it:
o Equip Rose Corsage as accessories for 2 characters. Equip Thief's
Cuffs for your leader
Set up the following Gambits:
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Self: status = HP Critical -> X-Potion
o Ally: HP <30% -> X-Potion
o Ally: status = Silence -> Echo Herbs
o Ally: status = Slow -> Haste
o Foe: targeting self -> Attack
Cast Protect, Shell, Faith, Bravery, Bubble, Regen, Haste. Touch Way
Stone I and you will be teleported to...
Gate of Wind
--------------
Examine the gate - Bulwark Minas and it is an Esper fight
________________________________________________________________
Shemhazai LV ?? HP: ???? (~92,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Syphon, Silencega, Flare, Shock, Mana Spring, Enrage,
Chain Magick
Notes: Haste
Have the leader cast Dispel, the 2nd character use Shear and the
3rd character use Expose.
Shemhazai can absorb any magick and it will take ages to figure
which is the main magick weakness and it has the ability to
change that. Hence go physical...
Once that statuses are down, have the leader to attempt to steal
from Shemhazai and you will get a rare zodiac gem - Sagittarius.
Make sure you steal from it. Switch the leader's accessory to
Rose Corsage once you are done. If you don't equip Rose Corsage,
you will find Shemhazai casting Silencega.
Shemhazai loves to use Syphon to drain your MP or uses Mana
Spring if its MP is fully depleted. It has a tendency to use
Shock (a lightning-elemental spell that deals 1600+ to one
character) and Flare (a fire-elemental spell that deals 2500+
to one ally). Hence keep your Shell is on is a priority because
Shemhazai is a magick attacker. It will be great if you equip
the Shell Shield.
Once the boss' HP is low, it will start to use Enrage and Chain
Magick. Make sure you kill the Esper before it unleashs any of
it spells as the damage will be 1.5x times stronger. Unleash
your Quickenings if that happens and you will finish the battle
in no time...
Steal: Sagittarius Gem
LP: 47
________________________________________________________________
After the battle is over, Shemhazai, the Whisperer will be available
on the license board! Now make your way northwards. Examine the gate,
Bulwark Aeon. Make your way to Empyrean Way Stone that is the middle
of the area. Pick the top option first to read the inscription.
Pick the middle option for the 2nd time and there will be some FMV
cutscenes... You will get the Treaty-Blade once the events are over.
Examine the Tellurian Way Stone. Examine it and pick the first option.
Examine the 2nd option to teleport out and you will end up the area
where you find Giruvegan Gate Crystal. Teleport to Balfonheim...

Before carrying on, I got something to said about the Diamond Armlet.
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
| Diamond Armlet and Treasure Hunting |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
| You will need just only *one* Diamond Armlet to do the treasure |
| hunting. It is not necessary to equip the Diamond Armlet on the |
| leader to open chests. Diamond Armlet allows you to get rare |
| treasure from common chests and some of non-regenerating chests |
| |
| There is a very low chance you get a rare treasure and thus it |
| will definitely a *long* time to get the treasure. Do not equip |
| it even on your other active members of the current party as |
| the effect will still be considered as equipped! Thus it is not |
| necessary to be equip on the leader. The chances of getting |
| rare treasure is higher if you did not equip on the leader |
| |
| Please note equipping a Diamond Armlet does not necessary mean |
| you will get the treasure. It will take countless times to get |
| a rare treasure. Normally, you will get either gil or a Knot of |
| Rust. Do not worry about getting the wrong item or fear that the|
| item will be lost as these chests will *respawn*. |
| |
o-----------------------------------------------------------------o
South Liavell Hills
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Bandercouerl, Bellwyvern
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will fight mainly Bandercouerls in this area. Freeze them with
Blizzaga. On a safe side, you might want to cast Sleep/Silence before
fighting them. Bellwyvern are a lot more tougher than the ones you
encounter in Tchita Uplands. But they are vulnerable to Oil. Oil-
Firaga combo works well. Keep Libra, Shellga and Protectga on all
times. Most of chests here contain mainly gil.
North Liavell Hills
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Silver Lobo, Shield Wyrm, Charybterix, Bandercouerl
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will fight some Silver Lobos (the wolves that you encounter at the
Phon Coast). There are 2 new enemies - Charybterix and the Shield Wyrm.
Charybterix are flying birds and they absorbs Wind-elemental damage.
Cast Sleep followed by Oil, then unleash Firaga. They have around
20,000+ HP each. The Shield Wyrm is one of strongest non-boss enemy,
it has a whooping 60,000+ HP. Fortunately, you can use Sleep, Silence
and Oil on it. Firaga will do 9999 HP instantaneously!
If it is raining, you will encounter the Undin Entite, which can be
handled by now. Please refer to Side Quests section for more details.
There is a chest containing the Dragon Whisker (one of the game's best
spear). It is located near the exit leading to The Terraced Bank. It
is on a brown-coloured path and near a couple of Silver Lobos along
with Shield Wyrm. There is around 2% chance of getting it though.
In the middle of the area, you will find 3 Windmills. (No. 1 to No. 3)
Examine all of them. The path will split into 2. Take the northwest
route.
The Terraced Bank
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Charybterix, Bandercouerl, Shield Wyrm
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Proceed to the next area. You will find the same set of enemies that
you have encounter earlier. In the area, you find another 2 windmills
(No. 4 and No. 5). Proceed northwards...
Journey's Rest
----------------
There is a Save Crystal here. Save your game. Proceed north again.
Crossfield
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Charybterix, Bandercouerl, Shield Wyrm, Silver Lobo
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The western region you will find a lot of Bandercouerls and the east
region you will find mainly Silver Lobos. There are 2 Shield Wyrms
there. Use the Sleep-Oil-Firaga combo on the Shield Wyrms and
Charybterix work extremely well. Use Syphon to drain MP from those
giant birds, you get plenty of them.
The Ribbon (an accessory that protects against most of status
ailments except for Death) is the middle region, closer to East exit.
However, the only a chacne of 1.5% on getting it though...
You will find Windmill No. 6 and No. 7 here. Between the 2 windmills,
there are a *lot* of traps. Exit via the northeast route.
The Northsward
----------------
You will find the Viera Wayfarer (the petitioner for Vyraal hunt)
there if you have accepted the hunt at Balfonheim - White Cap.
Set the following Gambits:
o Foe: status = Sleep -> Aeroga
Now cast Protectga, Shellga, Faith, Bubble, Haste and Regen.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.26 - Vyraal
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
________________________________________________________________
Vyraal LV ?? HP: ???? (~100000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Sonic Fangs, Fireball, Lunge, Magick Barrier
Notes: -
Have the leader use Expose on the enemy. The viera wayfarer is
a bit more of hinderance than assistance for this battle. First
of all, put the Viera Wayfarer to sleep and turn off the gambits
that cures Sleep.
Inflict Slow on the Vyraal as soon as possible.
Without Protectga, you will get hit hard by the Vyraal. The
Vyraal's lunge attack does around 1,000+ per damage and Fireball
does around 700 HP to a single target and carries a fire-
elemental damage. Sonic Fangs does around 1000+ and possibility
of Slow. Cast Sleep on the boss as soon as possible to prevent
it from attacking. It is weak against Wind. Hence, Aeroga or
equipping a wind-elemental weapon such as Zwill Crossblade and
Zephyr Pole helps a lot...
If you fight for a longer time, the Vyraal could use a Magick
Barrier that causes it to be immune to any magicks.
Steal: Spiral Incisor, Leo Gem
LP: 22
________________________________________________________________
Upon defeating the Vyraal, you will get the Viera Rucksack key item
and the viera wayfarer will go back to Balfonheim.
You will find Windmills No. 8 to No. 10 here. Examine all of them.
Exit via the south area.
Feddik River
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Silver Lobo, Shield Wyrm, Adamantitan
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the north platform, you will encounter a Shield Wyrm and Silver
Lobos. In the middle platform, you will encounter 2 Adamantitans (it
has around 35000+ HP), cast Sleep and Oil, followed by Firaga for an
easy kill. The lowest end consists of another Adamantitan and more
Silver Lobos. Exit and you will be back at The Terraced Bank area.
Make your way back to the Journey's rest and move across the
Crossfield. Make your way northwest from there and you will end up
at...
(Make sure Libra status is still on) or you can choose to cast Float
at all times.
Old Elanise Road
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Charybterix, Bandercouerl, Shield Wyrm, Silver Lobo, Bangaa
Thief
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are traps in front of here! Cast Float and you will be able to
move past it safetly. Continue to head northeast... By the way, there
is 1/3 chance of you encountering Bangaa thieves here. Oil them first
and engulf them with Firaga.
Tchita Uplands - The Shaded Path
----------------------------------
There will be a Save Crystal. Examine the weather and make sure the
weather is cloudy as it is like about to rain. If the weather does not
fulfil the conditions, return back to Cerobi Steppe and re-entering it
again. Now save and restore all your lost MP. Cast Float.

You need for the Garden of Life's Circle area which is just 2 screen
west from the The Shaded Path. Hold down R2 and run all you
Garden of Life's Circle
------------------------
If the wyrm-sized monster is there, set up the following Gambits:
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Self: status = HP Critical -> X-Potion
o Self -> Bubble
o Self -> Protectga
o Ally: HP <30% -> Curaja
o Self: MP <10% -> Charge
o Ally: status = Sap -> Regen
o Ally: status = Sleep -> Alarm Clock
o Ally: status = Slow -> Haste
o Ally: status = Petrify -> Gold Needle
o Foe: targeting self -> Attack
Once you reach there, heal up your party and cast the following:
- Protectga, Shellga, Float, Bravery, Faith, Bubble, Regen and Haste.
You should have at least 2/3 of your character's max MP left.
Equip wind-elemental weapons as Zwill Crossblade/Zephyr Pole. Equip
Nishijin Belts if your characters levels is even-level.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.27 - Lindwyrm
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
________________________________________________________________
Lindwyrm LV ?? HP: ???? (~230,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Fireball, Great Barrier, Rake, LV4 Break, LV2 Sleep,
Stone Breath, Restore, Bio, Thundara, Blizzara
Notes: Bravery, Faith, Shell, Protect
Have the leader cast Dispel to remove its positive status and
have the other 2 characters use Shear and Expose. Now try to
inflict Blind and Slow on the Lindwyrm if not use the Nihopalaoa
accessory and have that character throw a Remedy/Eye Drops at it.
Once you got that, have your character attack with their weapons.
If they do not have a wind-elemental weapon, cast Aeroga. It will
deal around 7000+ HP damage per Aeroga as the Lindwyrm is weak
against Wind. Beware of the Lindwyrm's normal attack as it could
occasionally causes Petrify. Use Stona or Gold Needle that
happens. Beware of the boss' LV4 Break (which will inflict
Petrify status on allies' whose level are multiples of 4) or LV2
Sleep (which will inflict Sleep if your allies' level are
multiples of 2).
Once it's HP is down to 30%, it will use Restore and will cast
Great Barrier (Protect + Shell). Cast Dispel if that happens.
The boss can only use a maximum of 2 Restores. Charge is a
necessary as you need to bring your MP back. Lindwyrm also cast
Bio, which deals non-elemental damage + Sap. Cast Regen or use
a Remedy if that happens. This is an endurance fight by the way,
so keep on charging your MP using Charge, re-cast Bubble and
Protect to upkeep your HP. Sooner or later the Lindwyrm will go
down.
Steal: Ring Wyrm Scale, Ring Wyrm Liver
LP: 22

From this point onwards, do not equip the Diamond Armlet unless there
are instructions to equip it.
Special Op Sector 5
--------------------
You will encounter an Adamantitan and Surianders. At the western end
of the area where you encounter 3 Suriander. You will find a Mimeo-
type enemy there. It is the Rare Game - Ithuno and you can steal a
Deathbringer.
East-West Bypass
-----------------
You will fight Bombs and Mimeos here. At the north branch pathway, you
will find a lot of traps and occassionally a chest in the middle of the
traps near the Mimeo at the end. Equip it the Diamond Armlet. Examine it
and it could possibly nab you a Bubble Belt (if you miss, it will
probably not respawn). To prevent get hit by the traps nearby, cast
Float.
The Zeviah Span
----------------
You will encounter mainly Bombs, Dead Bones and Mimeos. Examine the
southern region of this area.
| || | The Celebrant's Miter is located at the spot
| | \_| _ mark A (+50 MDEF, +6 MAG, +5 SPD). It is located
| ||A|_/| at the middle platform before leading the West

|__|| || |
___| ||__| The Cleric's Robes (+37 DEF, +9 MAG) is located

To West Annex
West Annex
-------------
This place has a couple of nasty enemies - Specter and more Dead Bones.
The problem is that they respawn endlessly. Now set up the following
Gambits.
Ally: status = Sleep -> Alarm Clock
Ally: status = Blind -> Eye Drops
Ally: status = Poison -> Poisona
Ally: HP <30% -> Curaja
Foe: status = Reflect -> Attack
Foe: undead -> Curaja
Give your characters Hermes Sandals. Cast Protectga, Shellga and Float
as you move on this area. With the following Gambit setup, you will wipe
out the Specters and Dead Bones without laying a finger and you can run
away from enemies at easy. However, as this strategy requires a lot of
MP. Once you are down left with 1 Mist Charge left, go back to Zeviah
Span (switch off the Curaja gambits), look for Mimeos and use Syphon on
it to get back the MP.
Dragon Mail
------------
Before the long pathway that leads to the area where you find the Save
Crystal, go to the southwest end of that area, you will find a chest
there and there are very slight chances that you can get the Dragon Mail
(+53 DEF, +8 STR) heavy armor. Do not equip the Diamond Armlet.
Zodiac Escutcheon
------------------
At the southeast end of the area, there is a small pathway that leads
a series of traps and a chest at the end. Equip the Diamond Armlet and
around 1.8% chance, you will get the Zodiac Escutcheon, the game's best
shield.
This is the area to get if you want more of the game's best shield.
There is a location where you surely gets one. But it will definitely
take a lot of time to get one. Please note that there are people who
played this game for countless hours just to get the shield.
Terminus No. 7 Adjunct
-----------------------
Save your game before you do this. Now go down the pathway that is
heading southeast. Equip the Diamond Armlet. You can get a Kaiser
Shield from it. If you do not get it, reset the game. It works like
the chests that you find in the Great Crystal. So watch out!
Balfonheim
------------
Once you are ready, teleport your way to the Balfonheim. Proceed to
the Whitecap. Talk to the Viera Wayfarer. You will get 3,500 gil,
the Halberd and a Crystal Shield. You will also get a Dragon Scale
in addition to the above rewards. Make sure you have sufficient gil
to purchase 3 Power Armlets, 3x Dragon Mails, 2x Holy Lance & 1x Opal
Ring. Remember to buy 5x Gysahl Greens from Dyce if you are running
out of them. Go to Gate Crystal and teleport to the Imperial City of
Archades.
Imperial City of Archades
---------------------------
Pay a visit to the Armor Shop and get 3x Mirror Mails if you did not
have it. Make your way to Old Archades.
Talk to Fermon. You will get 4,200 gil, Barrel Coat and a Hi-Ether.
Pay a visit to the merchant near the exit leading to Sochen Cave
Palace.
Stranded Merchant

o Technicks - Shear and Expose learnt.
o 45x X-Potions, 40x Chronos Tears, 30x Phoenix Downs, 40x Anitdotes
Walk of Mind
--------------
Save your game first. It has been a while since you have been here.
There are 3 Kilitias in front of the stilshrine. Now make your way
inside.
Walk of Measure
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Redmaw, Reaper Claw, Reaper Mage
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kill off the Redmaws and make your way to Way Stone in the northernmost
end of the area. You will find Reaper Claw and Reaper Mage. Unleash
Disable and Silencega on them. Finish them off first and watch out for
Annul and Doom.
Return back to the Gate Crystal.
Set up the following Gambits:
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Ally: status = HP Critical -> X-Potion
o Ally: HP <60% -> X-Potion
o Ally: status = Stop -> Chronos Tear
o Ally: status = Poison -> Antidote
o Foe: targeting self -> Attack
Now cast Protectga, Shellga, Float, Bravery, Faith, Bubble, Regen on
all your characters. Equip Hermes Sandals as the accessories for your
characters and Dragon Mail as the primary armor. Give 2 characters
Holy Lance and the leader the Defender sword.
Return back to the Walk of Mind. The "Nightwalkers" enemy won't be
there any. Examine the Way Stone and pick the 2nd option. For the 2nd
prompt, pick the top option to use the Stone of Condemner.
Throne of Veiled Gods
------------------------
You will be teleported to a new area. Examine the Ancient Door. There
will be some scenes and you will fight...
________________________________________________________________
Zeromus LV ?? HP: ???? (~100,000)
Dark Lord x30 LV 45 HP: 4600+
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Stop, Slowga, Gravity, Piercing Gravija, Hastega
Notes: Protect, Shell, Reflect, Regen
Magicks will be deactiviated and you can only attack with Attacks
and Technicks. Quickenings and Summons are still usable.
First of all, have your characters use technick - Shear & Expose
on the Esper. Besides using Dispel to remove Protect and Shell,
you can use of these 2 technicks to remove it. Since you are
unable to use magicks, unleash your Mist Quickening at the start
of the battle. Hopefully, it take out least 50% of Zeromus' HP.
Zeromus has 3 major attacks:
o Gravity - Damage 1/4 of the character's max HP
o Piercing Gravija - Damage 1/2 of all character's max HP
(in range)
o Slowga - Casts Slow on all allies in range
Like the fight against Adrammelech, Dark Lords spawn in this
area endlessly (there are 30 of them, and they appear in groups
of 6) As they have normal attacks and they use Toxify (which
causes Poison), so have the other 2 character (the ones equipped
with Holy Lance) to attack them, while the leader attacks the
boss. Fight the Dark Lords as they respawn and by the time you
kill 30 of them, they WILL stop respawn. By having augments such
as Inquistor, Martyr and Headsman, you will gain MP by defeating
them, which should allow you to gain MP for unleash a 2nd
Quickening. So unleash it and keep up the endurance. Zeromus
won't last long.
Steal: Cancer Gem
LP: 55
________________________________________________________________
After the battle is over, Zeromus - the Condemner will be available on
the License Board. Touch the Way Stone and you will be teleport to the
Ward of the Sword-King. Touch it again and you will be back at the Ward
of Measure and the Nighwalkers will be there. Cast Disable and
Silencega on them. From this point onwards, whenever you use the Way
Stone, you will be teleported to Throne of Veiled Gods first instead of
previously the Ward of Sword-King.
Getting the Shell Shield
--------------------------
At the Ward of the Sword King, at the area where you find the Darkmare,
there is a hidden passage way that leads to a hidden area. First of all,
defeat the Darkmare first. Now face the wall at the west end for a
while, a hidden path will unveil. Move along that pathway and you will
reach the hidden area in the Walk of Torn Illusion.
Walk of Torn Illusion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Oiling
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Move along the pathway and despatch any Oiling (flan-type monster) that
you encounter. Before heading to the next area, cast Float on your
party.
Cold Distance
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Oiling
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you don't cast Float, all your allies will be affected with Berserk
and Confuse! You will find a chest underneath a trap at the rear of the
area. Check it as it will contain a Shell Shield or Dark Matter. Reset
if you want the Shell Shield.
Once you are done, teleport your way to Mosphoran Highwaste for the
next Esper...

Babbling Vale
----------------
There are more people there since the previous visit. Talk to Va'Kansa
the Bangaa and you will be collect your bounty for Braegh - 1,700 gil,
1x Obelisk and 1x Hi-Ether. Luccio is still selling the same items.
Now it is time to do some serious business.
From Lucio's location, head southwards and examine the structure
labelled "Shrine of the South Wind". Pick the top option to touch the
shrine.
Press SELECT and you will see ! icon appear on the map. Make your way
to the Empyrean Way.
Empyrean Way
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Worgen, Alpha Worgen, Humbaba, Vulture
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will be able to access an area, where you can't previously access
it. Exit via northeast from there.
Rays of Ashen Light
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Slaven Wilder, Clay Golem
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Defeat the Clay Golem and Slaven Wilder if you want to. Head
northwards and you will find a Wayward Chocobo at the rear end. Talk
it and choose to feed it with some Gysahl Greens.
Now on the Chocobo, make your way back to Empyrean Way. Ride your way
along the Empyrean Way, heading westwards and you will be able to
access the area called...
Skyreach Ridge
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Vulture
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you reach the area, dismount from the Chocobo. Exit the area via
the exit and you will reach back at the Babbling Vale.
Babbling Vale
--------------
Move down the walkway and you will find another structure called
"Shrine of the West Wind". Examine it and pick the top option to
activate it. Examine the huge rock "Weathered Rock" and Vaan will
pushes it down thus creating a path to the campsite.
Now make your way to "Shrine of Northwest Wind" where you see Adair's
Chocobo nearby. Examine it and pick the top option to activate it.
Examine your map and you will see 2 "!" appear at the northwest region
of the Skyreach Ridge area.
Now set up the following Gambits for your two members
o Ally: any -> Raise
o Foe: status = Reflect -> Dispel
Set up the following Gambits for your leader
o Ally: any -> Raise
o Ally: status = HP Critical -> Curaga
o Ally: HP <30% -> Curaja
o Foe: status = Reflect -> Dispel
Now head south from the Gate Crystal. At the Summit Path, don't drift
far from there. Cast Protectga, Shellga, Float, Bravery, Faith, Bubble,
Regen and Haste on all your characters. Now return back to the Babbling
Vale. Equip Dragon Mails as their armor and equip Hermes Sandals as
accessories for 2 characters & the Opal Ring for the leader. Go to the
Gate Crystal and save your game.
Exit the area via the northeast exit. Talk to the Chocobo, give it a
Gysahl Green. Ride your Skyreach Ridge. Make your way to northern end
and you see the Chocobo is nervous (LOL). Dismount and enter the area
by foot.
Empyrean Seat
---------------------
You are unable to use Items for this battle...
________________________________________________________________
Exodus LV ?? HP: ???? (~100,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Reflect, Flare, Unleash, Scathe
Notes: Protect, Reflect
Have the leader casts Dispel, while the other 2 character uses
Shear and Expose.
Now attack the boss. With the "statuses", Shear and Expose, the
boss is in for your beating. As Exodus has a tendency to cast
Reflect, by using Dispel, you will be forcing it to waste its
time to cast Reflect.
Below is the summary of Exodus' attack:
o Reflect: Causes magicks to bounce back to the allies
o Flare: Heavy fire-elemental damage against one character
o Scathe: Heavy non-elemental damage against all allies in
range
o Unleash: Heavy non-elemental damage against all allies.
Once its HP is critical, it will become immune to physical
attacks. Switch your character's armor to Mirror Mails. Cast
Firaga, Thundaga and Blizzaga ON YOUR PARTY (yeah, no typo). The
spells will be reflected and will hit Exodus for 2~3 times,
depends on your character's positions. Thus you are casting an
additional times of magicks on the boss. Keep the endurance and
the Esper will go down sooner than you expected...
Steal: Libra Gem, Elixir
LP: 52
________________________________________________________________
After the battle is over, Exodus the Judge-Sal will be available on
the License Board. Now disarm the Mirror Mails and set back your item
healing gambits. Now make your way back to Gate Crystal at Babbling
Vale.
Now make your way to the northeast area. Examine the 2 shrines -
Shrine of the East Wind and Shrine of the Northeast Wind. Make your
way to Rays of Ashen Light. You will be able to access the areas that
you are unable to access earlier.
If you make your way back to the area where you fought Exodus, you
will find the Ash Wyrm there. Cast Oil and Sleep. Unleash Firaga to
defeat it.
Teleport your way back to Rabanastre.

Earth Tyrant LV ?? HP: ???? (~70,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Ram, Sonic Fangs, Screwtail
Notes: -
It will be biggest dinosaur that you will find in Final Fantasy
12. And it will attack you without any warning (!).
Despite it's large size, it won't stand a chance against your
current levels. Just watch the show and let your gambits do
the job. Like other bosses, the Earth Tyrant's defense will
increases when it's HP is critical. Cast Slow on it works well.
Screwtail can be blocked with a shield. Once it's HP is critical,
use Expose and Shear on it to weaken its defense and the battle
will be yours. Cast Aeroga for a quick kill...
Steal: Hi-Potion, Tyrant Hide
LP: 21
________________________________________________________________
It may seems I have pick to fight the Tyrant at the wrong time. But
I choose to fight it now because this is time when your party is able

-----------------
Let's do some Mark Hunting before we enter the Deadlands or we will
really be dead. Cast Protectga, Shellga, Float, Bravery, Faith, Bubble,
Regen. Equip Dragon Mails as your basic armor and Herme Sandals as your
accessories.
Set up the following Gambits
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Self: status = HP Critical -> X-Potions
o Ally: HP <30% -> Curaja
o Ally: status = Stop -> Chronos Tear
o Ally: status = Sleep -> Remedy
o Ally: status = Sap -> Remedy
o Ally: status = Slow -> Haste
Press SELECT and analyze the map to get the shortest walkway to the
Sun-dappled Path. Now once you are ready, run (hold R2) and make your
way there. Do not kill any monsters here until you saw the Mark.
Sun-dappled Path
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Wyrdhare
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will meet Krjn, the viera from the Clan Hall there. Do not kill or
disturb any Wyrdhares (they won't harm you unless you attack them).
Make use of the radar, once you sees a big red dot, the Mark is just
nearby. With Krjn and Reddas helping you, it is a 5-on-1 battle!
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.28 - Carrot
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
________________________________________________________________
Carrot LV ?? HP: ???? (~111,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Hero's March, Lunge, Putrid Breath, Growing Threat,
Time Requirem
Notes: Bravery, Faith, Protect, Shell, Regen
Once you located it, first of all have the leader cast Dispel,
the 2 characters use Shear and Expose. Once the "Carrot" uses
Hero's March, cast Dispel again.
Now watch Reddas do the attacking for you & he is really a good
offense character right? The Carrot has 2 typical attacks -
Lunge (a physical attack that deals around 400~500 HP) and Time
Requirem (a spell that casts Stop to all allies). Switch your
accessories to Power Armlet once the Carrot cast the Time
Requirem. After the spell is over, switch back to Herme Sandals.
Try to inflict Slow on it.
Once it readies to use Putrid Breath, move the leader away from
the range of the Carrot's attack. So you can be ensured to have
at least one character free from any status ailments. Toss the
Remedy to any status-affected allies. Now the Carrot's HP is
critical, it will use Growing Threat, which will double its
level and it will be danagerous. Unleash your Mist Quickenings
for a quick finish...
Steal: Putrid Liquid, Dark Crystal
LP: 28
________________________________________________________________
Upon completing the hunt, your rank should be increased to High
Guardian. Now make your way back to Quietened Trace. Save your game.
From there, head northwards and make your way to Nabreus Deadlands.

Enemies: Beknamy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will encounter some Beknamys. They are weak against Ice. Cast
Protectga, Shellga and Float as you venture into these areas.
The Muted Scrap
------------------
There is a Save Crystal. Talk to the quiet Nu Mou facing the river
(Ma'Kleou). As for his questions, ignore them for the time being. Now
exit the area via northeast exit.
Vale of Lingering Sorrow
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Banshee, Crusader
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The urn is located at the northwest area. You will find some Crusaders
(stronger version of the skeletons) and Banshee (strong version of the
zombies). Beware of the traps here, they are quite deadly here. There
are 3 exits. The north exit leads to Hope's Reach, while the east
exits
lead to Echoes of the Past.
Hope's Reach
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Beknamy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will encounter more Beknamys here. They uses Motes to attack,
which can be not reflected.
Echoes of the Past
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Focalor, Crusader, Banshee, Emeralditan
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The area starts to get foggy. Crusaders & Banshee will start to sprout
from the swamps. There are a lot of traps. Hence be careful. You will
encounter the Focalor, the fish encountered in Sochen Cave Palace,
which is a neutral enemy. The Emeralditan can be encounter here. It is
weak against Wind. Aeroga works extremely well and Oil-Firaga works
well against it. Exit the area via the exit in the north.
The Slumbermead
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Dead Bones, Banshee, Emeralditan, Focalor, Foobar
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Beware of Foobars as they can inflict *serious* status ailments with
its Mythril Bubbles. Finish them off ASAP. Other than that, you will
find the same set of enemies in the area. In northwst section of the
area. There is a hidden path (which you will definitely encounter
Foobars) and it will leads to The Fog Mutters.
The Fog Mutters
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Dead Bones, Banshee, Foobar
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The skeletons that you encounter in Barheim Passage will appear in
this area along with more Banshees. You can encounter Foobars at the
dead ends and the circular pathway. Head westwards to reach...
Overlooking Eternity
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Dead Bones
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On your radar, you will see Dead Bones sprouting from the ground and
you will find a Mark (indicated by a large red dot). Defeat the Dead
Bones and you make your way to the Roblon. Once you reach the area
where the Roblon is, have your party focus on the Roblon while Reddas
will attack the boss for you...
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.29 - Roblon
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
________________________________________________________________
Roblon LV ?? HP: ???? (~100,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Fear, Fira, Thundara, Blizzara, Smite of Rage,
Tri-Attack
Notes: -
It is a stronger version of the Golem, which has very slow
reaction rate. Watch out for its Fear attack, which will drains
out most of a character's MP. The Mark is capable of using Fira,
Blizzara and Thundara, the middle class of elemental magics. The
2 more dangerous attacks are Smite of Rage (which deals 400-500+
damage)to one character and the Tri-Attack (which deals 500-700+
& Slow). Once the boss' HP gets critical, its defense will
increase. Instead of using phyiscal attacks, use magicks to
attack it! But make sure you clear out the area because Dead
Bones will use Reflectga when you use magicks to attack it.
Try to inflict Slow/Blind. Have your party to attack the Dead
Bones first (seize the opportunity) to do some chaining & thus
gaining better loot, while Reddas do the attacking. But remember
to cure him (Gambit Ally: HP <30% -> Curaja) works extremely
well. For those who do not want to fight the Dead Bones, you can
choose to incapacitate them using the Nihopalaoa + Remedy method
which will cause them not respawn. However, I personally still
prefer to finish off the Dead Bones for more loot...
Steal: Fire Stone, Iron Ore
LP: 26
________________________________________________________________
Upon defeating the mark, make your way out and you will need to fight
the respawning Dead Bones. Make your way back to The Slumbermead
The Slumbermead
------------------
You will fight that annoying Foobar again. Defeat it and make your way
to the area north from here.
Succor Midst Sorrow
---------------------
Heal up your party or switch to your reserves before examining the
Gate Crystal. Examine it and you will fight a...
________________________________________________________________
Crystalbug LV ?? HP: ???? (~20000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Watega, Blizzaga, Darkra, Firga, Thundaga
The Crystalbug can use magicks (of all elementals). Use Expose
and Shear to weaken its defenses and attack is your best option.
Defeat it and the real Gate Crystal will appear.
You can steal a Feystone from it.
________________________________________________________________
Use the Gate Crystal and save your game.
Lifeless Strand
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Leynir, Beknamy, Foobar
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In this large area, you will encounter a new foe, Leynir. Defeat it
by using the Oil-Firaga combo will make easy. You will fight more
Beknamys and beware as they can use Vanishga Mote, which makes them
invisible and they will grab the loot that you obtained by defeating
the Leynirs. So finish them first when you encounter them. From the
circular platform, you will find a hidden path leading to the swamps
that lead to a chest with Foobars lurking... Defeat them and head
eastwards.
Field of the Fallen Lord
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Foobar, Beknamy, Shield Wyrm
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a lot of chests here and monsters you encounter here are
mainly Beknamys. If you encounter Foobar, use Oil-Firaga or attack.
Once it cast Mythril Bubbles, have the leader move away from it and
use a Remedy to heal your allies. In the northeast region, you fight
another Shield Wyrm but the loot earned isn't as good as the ones you
find in Cerobi Steppe... The southeast exit will lead to...

Set up the following Gambits:
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Ally: status = HP Critical -> X-Potion

Mark No.30 - Goliath
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
________________________________________________________________
Goliath LV ?? HP: ???? (~220,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Magick Barrier, Aeroga, Waterga, Gravity, Firaga,
Blizzaga
Notes: Protect
Dispel off its Protect and inflict Expose and Shear before
commencing the fight. Try to inflict Slow on it.
The Goliath will start off by using Magick Barrier, which will
cause it to be immune with magicks. Just attack as normally as
you do for other bosses. Try to keep your character's HP above
2000 and Protectga, Shellga and Bubble on throughout the whole
battle. Just keep on attack until the magick barrier wears off.
Once the barrier is off, cast Darkga on Goliath as it is weak
against Goliath. When it utilize again the Magick Barrier, use
physical attacks. Once its HP gets critical, switch to Ninja
Swords and attack it with them. Have the leader move away from
the boss (it will stop using magicks when it's HP is critical)
and have him/her as the primary healer with Curaja. Watch the
battle and the Goliath will go down sooner or later...
Steal: Holy Magicite, Iron Ore
LP: 27
________________________________________________________________
Heal up your party and make sure that the following status are on at
all times when you are in this dungeon - Protect, Shell and Float.
Now move eastwards and you will find Beknamy appears. Make them
visible first and once you saw more than 2, cast Blizzaga and they
will be frozen to hell. Like the ones in Nabreus Deadlands, Beknamy
begins in invisible status and will only appear when you are moving
near them. They will steal the loot dropped by the other enemies. So
killing them is your priority first.
At the southeast end of the area, you will encounter Elvorets. Toss
Aeroga and you will be fine. Beware of the Oversoul lurking in the
northwest region of the area. Defeat it before it uses Annul.
Hall of the Ivory Convent
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Beknamy, Oversoul, Elvoret
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will see more dangeorus Beknamys in this area. There is a Oversoul
lurking in the north region. Defeat it before it uses Annul. If you
are low on MP, use Syphon on the Beknamys. You can drain a decent
amount from them. Ignore the door for the time being. Once you get
through the South, there will be a trap blocking your way with
Elvorets. Cast Float on your party so you will be able to bypass the
traps without difficulty.
Cloister of Highborn
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Elvoret, Zombie Warlock, Babil, Oversoul
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Switch ALL your healing gambits off except for: Ally: any -> Phoenix
Down. Defeat all the enemies here and you will find the Deathscythe
Mark appearing sooner or later...
Once it appears, do the following. Have an ally in your party with
Curaja and turn on your healing Gambits and set the following:
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Ally: status = HP Critical -> X-Potion
o Ally: HP <30% -> X-Potion
o Self: MP <10% -> Charge
Equip Mirror Mails as your character's armor and Hermes Sandals as
their accessories.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Mark No.31 - Deathscythe
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
________________________________________________________________
Deathscythe LV ?? HP: ???? (~126,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Annul, Pailing, Death
Notes: -
This mark has a tendency to use Annul and its claw swipes as
your attacks. Annul will totally drain out a character's MP, so
charging is the only way to get MP back. Once it uses Pailing,
a skill that prevents to it be immune to physical atatcks, switch
to the following method.
Since the boss is an undead, it is vulnerable against Holy. Have
every member cast Curaja on your party and it will be reflected
9 times (!) back on Deathscythe itself! Just charge when you are
running out of MP. Equip a Holy elemental weapon such as Holy
Lance helps a lot...
Steal: Book of Organ-Mille
LP: 27
________________________________________________________________
Once the mark has been defeated. Now switch back to your reserve party
to continue this journey. Make sure your party is guarded with Protect,
Shell and Float at all times.
Getting the Zodiac Spear
----------------------------
In one of the rooms, you will find a room with 16 chests. The 16 chests
will appear if you DO NOT open the chests in the following previous
areas.
o------------------------------------------------------------o
| Chest #1 - Lowtown - South Sprawl |
| The chest found outside Old Dalan's House |
o------------------------------------------------------------o

| Chest #4 - Phon Coast - The Vaddu Strand |
| The eastend where you find 16 treasure chests. |
o------------------------------------------------------------o
o o o o Check the equipment of all characters. Make sure that NO
o o o o ONE is equipped with Diamond Armlet. Or you will lose it
o o o o even if you have fulfil the above requirements. The chest
o Z o o marked Z is the Zodiac Spear. After you gotten the Zodiac
| Spear, equip someone with Diamond Armlet and you will get
Entrance Dark Matter instead of Knot of Rust for remaining items.
Now equip it on one of your active members (hopefully you have gotten
the license to equip it.). In the area near the Door of Despair, you
will find Babils. Use Darkga to attack them. The exit is in the
southwest region.
Cloister of Distant Song
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Elvoret, Babil, Beknamy, Dark Elemental
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
From the exit, head northwest and you will find 3 Babils. Use Darkga on
them to finish them off. In the pathway leading to the Door of Horrors,
you will find more Babils, cast Darkga on them for a quick finish.
Continue to move southwest and you will find an exit that leads to the
next area.
Hall of Effulgent Light
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Beknamy, Pandora, Elvoret
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You should be very happy as you are reaching the end of this dungeon.
In the northwest region, there is a straight path infested with
Elvorets. At the end, make your way to the small area dangling from it.
There is a door that leads a hidden area. There is a red chest there.
Examine it and it will be a Pandora! Freeze it with Blizzaga.
One of the walls will read "???". Examine it and you will meet the
Beknamy Merchant! This is also known as the secret shop.

Make sure you get the Telekinesis technick. It is very useful for
fighting aerial enemies for no MP cost. The Maxmillian armor is the
best armor that you can buy from shops. Upgrade your characters'
Dragon Mails to these.
The exit is at the east and it will lead to the Salikawood.
The Salikawood
----------------
Well, the forest environment is more friendly than the one at the
Necrohol of Nabudis. Make your way back to the Gate Crystal located in
the Quietened Trace. Save your game. (You don't want to lose your
hard-earned Zodiac Spear, right?) Teleport to the Nalbina Fortess.
Nalbina Fortess
-----------------
From the Gate Crystal, Make your way to the Jajim Bazaar. Talk to Popol
next to the Technick shop and there will be some events. You will get

Nam-Yensa Sandsea
-------------------
There is a Save Crystal here. There is the Urutan Flower and the Sandsea
Moogle. Examine the flower to collect your Eskir Berries if you have used
it earlier. There is a Wayward Chocobo here which allows to ride by
feeding it with some Gysahl Greens.
Now setup the following Gambits:
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Ally: status = HP Critical -> X-Potion
o Ally: HP < 30% -> Curaja
o Ally: status = Silence -> Echo Herbs
o Foe: party leader's target -> Attack
Ride the Chocobo and make your way back to Ogir-Yensa Sandsea Junction.
Enter the Zertinan Caverns. Move pass the Canopy of Clay and you will
reach Nam-Yensa Sandsea's Withering Shore. Go up the stairs and once
you reach the circular walkway. Cast Protectga, Shellga, Float, Bravery,
Faith, Bubble, Regen on all your allies. Make your way to circular
platform... and you will fight...

Attacks:
Ba'Gamnan: Lunge, Kick, Shining Ray, Eviscerator

Rinok: Ram, Mote
Notes:
Ba'Gamnan: Haste, Protect
Bwagi: Protect
Gijuk: Protct, Shell
Rinok: Protect, Haste
With Monid assiting you, it will be 5-on-2 battle initially.
You will be fight Ba'Gamnan and Bwagi for the beginning of the
fight. After a while, Gijuk and Rinok comes from the walkway...
But you are still
Firstly, cast Dispelga, Silencega, and Blindga on all the
enemies. This will remove their positive status and mostly
importantly prevent Gijuk from using his deadly attacks. If
Silencega fails, have one character focus on casting Silence
on Gijuk until it hits.
Now take down Bwagi and Rinok first. They are the attackers of
the group other than Ba'Gamnan himself. Once they are down,
finish up Gijuk, the magic caster of the team. You can steal
Ether and Hi-Ethers from them. Ba'Gamnan should be weaken by
Reddas and Monid by now. But watch out for his Eviscerator (he
uses his weapon to attack and it could cause Silence). Once his
HP is critical, he will use Shining Ray more often which does
1000 HP to all characters. Once Protectga and Shellga fades out,
recast them. Remember to steal from Ba'Gamnan as you can get a
Elixir from him. Keep up the endurance and victory will be yours
Steal: Elixir, Ether, Hi-Ether
LP: 98 (Ba'Gamnan -38), 60 (Bwagi, Gijuk, Rinok - 20 each)
________________________________________________________________
You will get 5,100 gil and Megalixir from Monid. Your Clan rank will be
upgraded to Knight of the Round if you have following this walkthrough.
Now make your way back to Save Crystal where you find the Sandsea
moogle (The Sandscale Bank). Save your game.
Examine the anchor. Pick the top option to board the Strahl. You will
be brought the World Map. Choose The Ridorana Cataract.

fight...
________________________________________________________________
Hydros LV ?? HP: ???? (~204,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Lunge, Curse, Fearga, Bile, Sonic Fangs, Countdown,
Bio, Darkra
Notes: -
First of all, have one leader character cast Slow, while the
others use Shear and Expose to weaken the boss' defenses.
The boss does not have much defense (pretty similar to the
Skulwyrm that you have fought in Zertinan Caverns). It got a
couple of deadly attacks:
o Bile - non-elemental damage to one character + Sap
o Curse - Inflict Confuse, Poison, Sap & Disease on 1
character
o Fearga - Reduces MP of all characters in range
o Countdown - Inflict Doom on one character
o Sonic Fangs - Non-elemental damage + Slow
First of all, make sure you remove Confuse from Reddas if he
got infected otherwise he will cause harm to your party. The
boss' Bile can cause Sap, which cause the gambits to activate
regen. Curse is the most deadly skill from the boss' attacks
which inflict a series of nasty statuses. Use a Vaccine to cure
the Disease caused by it. In Disease status, your character will
not be able to heal and they will died once it wears off... Once
the boss' HP is depleted into half, it will start to use Fearga.
Start to charge up your MP with Charge Technick. Once the boss'
HP is critical, it start to use Darkra as its offense. With the
Demon Shields and Black Mask, you will be able to absorb its
Dark-elemental attacks. Just keep up the endurance and the boss
will go down sooner or later...

First Ascent - Wellspring Labyrinth [01F]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Chimera Brain, Mimeo, Mistmare
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find a new enemy, Chimera Brain, a stronger version of the
Cockatrice class. Defeat them and you will see blue orbs dropped from.
Examine it and you will get a Black Orb. Black Orbs are items that you
will need in this dungeon. Beware Chimera Brain's stone gaze, cure it
with Stona/Gold Needle.
At the west end of the area, you will find a white chest, examine it
will turn out to be a Mimeo. At the east end, you will start to fight
Mistmare, which is weak against. Having the Holy Lance and Gungnir
works well in this area. When you fight a Mimeo, beware of its Leech
as it deal around 1500+ to one character. Keep your HP above 2000 at
all times with Protect, Shell and Float on. Take this opportunity to
test your party's strength. If you have difficulty, I suggest to go
back to previous dungeons and give your characters training. It is
highly advisible to have 3 character with all abilities acquired as
the battle will going to get tougher.
In the northwest region of this area, you will find another cavaran
pillar. Examine it for some information. Move along the exterior
walkway.
The urn is located at the southwest end of the area, which you can
access it moving along the exterior walkway. Press SELECT to activate
the map if you got stuck. Once you collect the map, make sure you have
collect at least 3 Black Orbs. Now go back to the area where the Gate
Crystal is. From there, head southeast from there, you will find a
structure called "Altar of Night". Examine it and pick the 2nd option
to use the Black Orb. You will break the seal.
The 2nd Altar of Night is accessible via the north SE exit of the area.
The last Altar of Night can be access via the south SE exit of the
area. Once you have activate all 3 altars, examine the map and you will
find ! icon on it. Make your there and it will lead you to a door called
"Threshold of Night", which will only be accessible until you broke
the 3 seals. Examine it. Pick the 2nd option.
Dunes of Profaning Wind
------------------------
The radar is deactivated and you will return back to the same spot if
you move towards the wrong direction. Cast Protectga, Shellga, Float,
Bubble, Regen and Haste on all your characters. Go near the furthest
"rock" that you can see on the desert. It will trigger some scenes
and it is a boss fight!
________________________________________________________________
Pandemonium LV ?? HP: ???? (~120,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Flash, Flatten, Power Spin, Perfect Defense, Stone
Gaze
Notes: -
First of all, have one leader character cast Dispel, while the
others use Shear and Expose to weaken the boss' defenses.
Now start to wreck the tortoise. The boss has common tortoise
skills. Once it uses Flash, which causes Blind on all characters,
have the characters use Eye Drops or cure all with Esunaga.
When its HP fall to 50%, it uses Perfect Defense skill, it will
be immune to physical attacks (with Pailing) and magicks (with
Magick Shield). Seize the time to heal up and recast your
positive statuses such as Bravery and Faith. Wait for around 4
minutes for the effects to wear off. Resume your attacks once it
happens. Power Spin can cause Slow, so cast Haste to remove it.

stairs. At 40F, you can fight more Deidars and Brainpan inside the
large area in the east of this section.
Continue to advance up the area till you reach the west area. You
will fight an Aeronite at 42F. Once you reach the west area, go inside

to chain more attacks. Cast Curaja and keep your character's HP

o--------------------------------------------------------------o
Second Ascent - The Reach [60F]
--------------------------------
From Way Stone [WS], there are 2 pillars in front of you. Examine & pay
attention to words mentiond the pillar on the right. Now move left from
the left pillar, ignore the altars for the time being & make your way
to the Save Crystal [SC].
_______________
|A ________ D| Altars Sealed Ability
SC / \ | A Altar of Steel Attack Command
| | * WS B Altar of Magicks Magick Command
| \________/ | C Altar of Knowledge Mini-Map (Radar)
|B_____________C| D Altar of Wealth Item Command
A sensible person will choose the Mini-Map since you have managed to
survived non-random map dungeons such as Draklor Laboratories and the
Quicksands in Zertinan Caverns. Choose the Altar of Knowledge which is
located southeast region of area. Pick the 2nd option to touch the
altar. Now the radar will be gone but you can still access the World
Map. (press SELECT to check your bearings)
Examine the door called "Threshold of Knowledge". Remember the triangular
pathway in the Horizon's Break? It is the same structure. Just exit. By
the way, for those who are interested all the walkways lead to the same
area.
Station of Banishment [61F]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Crusader, Bune, Abaddon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You will fight mainly Crusaders and a Bune here. Bunes are Headless
monster and they are very deadly due to Tri-Attack and Pulsar Wave. So
finish them off fast. You can use Death spells and the Deathbringer
rocks for these battles. You will encounter Abaddon along the circular
pathway in the middle. The exits are located the southwest and northeast
region. To differentiate an exit is relatively simple:
___
If you saw a strip like | | If you saw an ending
________ this one, it will lead | | | path that ends like this,
|________ to one of the doors in |_| | this is an exit as it
61F means it is a stair!
So go either one of the exits to proceed to next area. The crusaders
can cast Slowga, so you need to recast Haste to remove it. Cast Float
to avoid its Tremor attack and Demon Shields to absorbs its Darkra.
Exit via the northeast or southwest path. They lead to a stairs. Examine
the ancient door to proceed
Station of Suffering [62F]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Crusader, Reaver, Abaddon, Dragon Lich, Bune
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the name suggests, it will add more suffering for you. You will
encounter a new enemy - Reaver, toss Oil and add Firaga for a quick
kill. Make sure Protect, Shell, Libra and Float is on at all times.
In the circular pathway, you will fight main Abaddon and Dragon Lich
here. Use Oil-Firaga combo and you will be able to wipe them out without
much difficulty. Dragon Lich are skeleton dragons.
In the northern region of the area, you will find more Bunes. Toss
Blizzaga at them as they absorbs Firaga (thus Oil-Firaga combo does not
work) Make sure, you kill them fast and if someone got infected by
Disable cast Esuna to remove it. Counter Slow with Haste. Traps are
found along the long walkways at the north-end of the region. At the
northwestern end of area, you will find the urn containing the map of
this section. But you need go through the extreme north walkway because
the door leading south is sealed. The exit is the southeast area.
Go up the stairs and examine the ancient door to proceed to the next
area
Station of Ascension [63F]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Crusader, Reaver, Zombie Warlock, Bune, Abaddon, Necrofriend
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The dungeon gets tougher and you fight more stronger enemies. Bune and
Reavers roams a lot in the southern region and fortunately they don't
flock together otherwise the Oil-Firaga combo won't work well. You will
also fight Abaddon and Reavers in the circular path. Beware of Abaddon's
Aqua Bubbles as it may cause Sap. Counter it with Regen if that
happens. In the northern region, you will encounter Zombie Warlocks (
the zombies that you have encounter in Necrohol of Nabudis) and
Necrofriend (ghost type monsters but they are immune against the Phoenix
Down kill method). The exit of the area is located at the northwest
region and you access it by going the northend most pathway and fight
the Bunes nearby. South from the staircase, there is a "Fool's Facade"
where you can knock it down for an opening which will lead you to
fight a Necrofriend. So you have to fight the Bunes guarding the
entrance. Freeze them with Blizzaga.
Exit via the stairs in the northwest region.
Reach of The Damned [64F]
--------------------------
You have reach an area similar to the one that you have found in the
First Ascent. There is a Carven Pillar located at the northwest end of
the area, make sure you examine it. The Save Crystal is located at the
south from the entrance way. Save your game.
Now head southwards and you will find a triangle shaped area. The exit
is there.
The Bounds of Truth [65F]
---------------------------
Wait a minute... This area looks freaking familar :) Move along the
walkway. Before examing the Ancient Door, setup the following Gambits:
o Ally: any -> Phoenix Down
o Ally: status = HP Critical -> X-Potion
o Ally: HP <40% -> Curaja
o Ally: status = Silence -> Echo Herbs
o Ally: status = Blind -> Eye Drops
Cast Protectga, Shellga, Bravery, Faith, Bubble, Regen on all your
participating characters. Equip Rose Coresage on one of your characters
and Hermes Sandals for the other characters. Now examine the door and
pick the 2nd option
Cleft of Profaning Wind
-------------------------
There will be some scenes and you will fight...
________________________________________________________________
Fenrir LV ?? HP: ???? (~190,000)
________________________________________________________________
Attacks: Wail, (Strike), Bravery, Ice Break
Notes: Protect, Haste
First of all, dispel off the wolf's Protect and Haste. Have the
other 2 characters use technicks - Expose and Shear. Try inflict
Slow on it. The boss is vulnerable to a lot of status but do not
use Oil as Fire-elemental attack as the Fenrir is immune to Fire.
Fenrir's Wail will deal damage to all allies and inflict Silence
and Blind. Have the leader use Esunaga if the status are inflict
on more than 2 allies. Just keep on attack and maintain your HP
above 3000 and you will be fine. Once its HP is critical, it will
cast Bravery. Dispel it again otherwise the Ice Break will do
2000 HP! With the spells casted prior to entering the area, you
should be able to finish it before it unleashes Ice Break.
Steal: Beastlord Hide
LP: 36
________________________________________________________________
Move forward and make your way to the door marked "Threshold of
Sacrifice" Examine it and you will be able to pass. Around the
circular walkway, you will find the 4 altars:

A ________D Altars Sealed Ability
/ / \ \ A Altar of Steel Magick Command
| |* | | B Altar of Magicks Magick Command
\ \________/ / C Altar of Knowledge Mini-Map (Radar)
B__________C D Altar of Wealth Item Command
Touch the corresponding altar that you have touched earlier, which
should "Altar of Knowledge" marked C on the map. You will gain back
your minimap and an elevator will appear at the point marked with an
asterisk on the map. Make your way there and there are 2 more Carven
Pillars. Examine the "Dais of Ascendence" elevator - Choose the 67F.
Reach of the Occult
