Introduction []___________________________________________________/ '======================( / \_/~~' [s010] _____________________________________________________________________________ /-----------------------------------------------------------------------------\ - About Me - Thanks for clicking on the guide. Hi, you can just call me Seph or Sephirosuy, caused of somebody like to jokes on my name, I could be acceptable if you call Zeph. Anyway, I'm a contributor of video games since December 2005, but this is not my proper job, though I wish to be. I love video games, and I don't just want to play video games for entertaining, but no way in my country allow me to exploit all my ideas, it's too bad for me. I won't give up, I try to prove myself that I'm not only a video game player, and that's why I became a video games contributor. Before I really get to my proper job in my life, I've spended all free times on the video games contribution, and this is one of my elaborately works, hope you enjoy the guide. - About the guide - This is a FAQs/Walkthrough for the game Final Fantasy XII, made by Square Enix. The guide is based on Sony Playstation 2 NTSC/J version, which released on 16th of March 2006. I will not explain much about the events during the game, but still contain SPOILERs of the game. Currently I'm revising the whole guide for matching with the US version, so that it could be used for both version. For easy understanding, I've written down both Japanese and English name for certain materials that had different names, so what I mean is the revised guide is actually can be used for both version of Final Fantasy XII. Some translations were included in the guide as well, but the actual names might be different with the English version. When using certain translator to view these Japanese words, the default font and the shape of non-Japanese words in the guide might run away, so I suggest don't open any translator or encode with different font type when you don't need to read those Japanese words. The guide was done by Notepad, I guess it could display everything properly, so recommend view this guide by Notepad if possible. In case you don't know how to encode, 'Right-Click' on the page, 'Encoding' -> 'Japanese Shift-JIS'. The lastest version of the guide will always comes to GameFAQs first. There's some other guides which can be referenced as well. I know somebody would like to read everything in once, but sorry for separated them, for certain reasons, I have to do this. - Ability List http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_ability.txt - 80 Rare Monsters http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_80_rare.txt - Bazaar Goods & Loots FAQ http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_bazaar_loot.txt - Crystal Grande Upper Layer Map in Giruvegan db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_crystal_grande_upper.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/sephiroth_y/crystal_map.jpg - Henne Mines Secret Areas http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_henne_secret.png - Necrohol Of Nabudis Analisis Map http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_nabudis.png - Pharos At Ridorana - Subterra Map http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_ridorana_subterra.png |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| ____ \__ \ / __/ __ \___\|__| ____________________________________________________________________ \-----------------------------------------------------------------------------/ ___ | | ' __| __ \ / __ __ ' __ __ | __ | | | | | |__| \ / |__||__ | | | | | |___| |__| | |__| |__ V |__ __| | |__| | | _____ \\ \______________________________________________________ .=======================|____________________________________________________/ =| 2.

System 4-2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- O-------------------O -------------------------------------------------------- -O License Board O O-------------------O [s042] Similar FF-X, activate the notes to raise up the attitudes of characters. For the License Board, it's no longer require the items like 'Sphere' in FF-X anymore, but it requires License Point 'LP' to learn the abilities on the board. This is very important since leveling up your character does not raise much of the stats, so you much use existing slot on the Licenses Board to strengthen your characters as well as the item usage, equipments and abilities could be learn too. So sometimes I mention "level up some more" in the guide doesn't mean to only level up your characters, you should active more other slots on the License Board to make them stronger. With the LP, characters can ativate the ability box on the License board with appointed amount of LP, and LP could be gained by defeating enemies. Each character will be awarded the same amount of LP even for those non active character (not in the main team) can also get the same LP after teamate have defeated enemy. LP will never disappear until the character has used them on the ability box. There is an existing guide about the abilities on the entire License Board, check this guide for the list of ability. http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_ability.txt 4. System 4-3. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- O-------------------O -------------------------------------------------------- -O Gambit System O O-------------------O [s043] Gambit System is allow player to set the actions of each character during battle, so that character can perform the actions as how the command has been arranged in the Gambit menu. At the beginning, players have only two Gambit slots for each character before activate any extra Gambit slots from License Board, the maximun slots for one character are 12. Within the Gambit menu, you can see the Gambit slot splited to three column, they are 'Gambit On/Off', 'Target', 'Action'. For the 'Target', you have to buy them from Gambit Slot before you can use it, and the Gambit target that you don't have will not display in the Gambit target selection list. Below is an example of the Gambit action: column 1 - column 2 - column 3 1. On - Ally: [KO'd] - Phoenix Down 2. On - Ally: [HP<50%] - Curaga 3. On - Foe: Nearest visible - Attack Result: - any member Dead/Ko'd, use Phoenix Down. - any member HP lower than 50%, cast Curaga. - encounter enemies, Attack the nearest target. *Curaga is named Curada in Japanese version As long as the Gambit actions is 'On'. character will always perform the upper Gambit action if the target's existing. From the example above, this character will only attack enemies if none of the characters lower than 50% HP or been Dead/KO'd. Let say if any member lower than 50% HP, he/she will stop attacking and cast Curada until the members are over 50% HP. Same as the 'Ally [KO'd]' Gambit, if anyone dead, he/she will use Phoenix Down before doing any other action. If you don't want to use Gambit action, you can just select the 'Gambit' option in the battle command menu to switch it off, select it again to switch on. If you just don't want a certain Gambit action, you can switch it off by selecting the Gambit Slot twice that's the action you don't want, remember it's inside your 'Gambit' under 'Party Menu'. 4.

There are total of 18 Mist Knacks/Quickenings in the Licence Board, once the Mist Knack/Quickening is licenced by one character, no other character can licence the same one again. Each character may have up to 3 Mist Knacks/Quickenings licenced. ================================================ | Character | LVL | Name | ================================================ | Vaan | 1 | Red Spiral | | | 2 | White Whorl | | | 3 | Pyroclasm | |----------------------------------------------| | Penelo | 1 | Intercession | | | 2 | Evanescence | | | 3 | Resplendence | |----------------------------------------------| | Ashe | 1 | Northswain's Glow | | | 2 | Heaven's Wrath | | | 3 | Maelstorm's Bolt | |----------------------------------------------| | Balthier | 1 | Fires of War | | | 2 | Tides of Fate | | | 3 | Element of Treachery | |----------------------------------------------| | Fran | 1 | Feral Strike | | | 2 | Whip Kick | | | 3 | Shatterheart | |----------------------------------------------| | Basch | 1 | Fulminating Darkness | | | 2 | Ruin Impendent | | | 3 | Flame Purge | ------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------- < Fusion Technique / Concurrences > ----------------------------------- When the required number of Mist Knacks/Quickenings have been performed, there will be an additional fusion technique at the end. Depending on the number and the level of Mist Knacks/Quickenings have been performed, different fusion technique will appear, each with different power and graphics effect. When multiple requirements has been met, the fusion tech with higher priority will be triggered. While Mist Knacks/Quickenings deal damage to one foe only, the fusion tech deals damage to all foes near the target. ================================================================= | Priority and Power | Name | Lv1 | Lv2 | Lv3 | ================================================================= | High | Black Hole | 4 | 4 | 4 | | | Whiteout | 3 | 3 | 3 | | | Ark Blast | 2 | 2 | 2 | | | Luminescence | - | - | 5 | | | Windburst | - | 5 | - | | | Torrent | 2 | 3 | - | | | Cataclysm | 7 | - | - | | Low | Inferno | 3 | - | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Doesn't matter how the name sound like or the graphics effect looks like, ALL mist knacks/quickenings and concurrences deals physical damage, and the mist knacks/quickenings damage is affect by the strength of the character that is performing it. None of it has any element effects. As for how to perform, player has to press the existing button during the Mist Knack/Quickening screen.

Send two characters with shield to close combat, and you control the other character to heal them, depends on the situation, if they still remained lot of HP, you don't need to heal either. ------------------------------- ------------------------| The SkyCity Of Bhujerba |------------------------ ------------------------------- After defeating the boss, you would back to the Airship Terminal/Aerodrome in Bhujerba. Now go around armor shop area and speak to the guard again, choose first option to Dalmasca Westersand. --------------------------- --------------------------| Dalmasca Westersand |-------------------------- --------------------------- There was a Gate Crystal when you appear in Dalmasca Westersand, leave here to West is what you need to do. =============================================================================== -------------------------| The Ogir-Yensa Sandsea |------------------------ ------------------------------ sep013 O --- Enemy/Monster --- O Alraune Danbania Speartongue Urutan-Yensa Lv : 11-14 Lv : 10-14 Lv : 11-13 Lv : 13-14 HP : 615-694 HP : 966-1159 HP : 1095-1768 HP : 710-780 Weak : Wind Weak : Thunder Weak : Fire Weak : Wind Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal - Alarm Clock - Bacchus's Wine - Horn - Dark Mote - Earth Stone - Echo Herbs - Water Stone - Earth Stone - Handkerchief - Fish Scale - Aries Gem - Gold Needle - Mace - Water Mote - Frog Oil - Yensa Fin - Succulent Fruit - Water Stone - Telepo-Stone - Yensa Scale Salamand Entite Lv : 45 HP : 48042 Weak : Water Drop/Steal - Electrum - Ether - Feystone - Fire Crystal - Salamand Halcyon Just head up to the tower, follow the only route to West, on the way face some enemies.

Second section, Vossler join as guest character again. This area branches off the route, but they've ended up in same place. If go West, you can find Save Crystal and a moogle, for South-West, you will meet an item/accessory/magic seller and Gate Crystal. West route is recommended, but if you want to buy something, you better go both routes. Another thing to inform is the Zertinan Cavern, it's an optional place which hiding an Esper. This place connected to many locations, and this is one of them. But now isn't the time to find this Esper, if you couldn't defeat the monster inside, don't try to fight the Esper. Check "8. Esper / Summon" for more details of the Esper. =============================================================================== --------------------------| The Nam-Yensa Sandsea |------------------------ ----------------------------- sep014 O --- Enemy/Monster --- O Alraune Danbania Speartongue Urutan-Yensa Lv : 11-14 Lv : 10-14 Lv : 11-13 Lv : 13-14 HP : 615-694 HP : 966-1159 HP : 1095-1768 HP : 710-780 Weak : Wind Weak : Thunder Weak : Fire Weak : Wind Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal - Alarm Clock - Bacchus's Wine - Horn - Dark Mote - Earth Stone - Echo Herbs - Water Stone - Earth Stone - Handkerchief - Fish Scale - Gold Needle - Mace - Water Mote - Yensa Fin - Succulent Fruit - Water Stone - Yensa Scale Axebeak Lv : 13-15 HP : 922-954 Weak : Water Drops/Steal - Alarm Clock - Fire Stone - Rainbow Egg - Small Feather - Warp Mote Around in North-East area where you came from West of Ogir-Yensa, talk to the moogle, then follow the Urutan-Yensa that he pointed. Next section, you will probably see the Urutan Eater fighting with the Urutan-Yensa. Defeat the it with the helps of Urutan-Yensa. After that, talk to the moogle again and then head back to Ogir-Yensa for a scene. Back to where you found the moogle for an event. After that, talk to the moogle again, then examine the flower for Eksir Berries, an item quite useful for the next boss. In the first section, go the small island which connected with two suspension bridge, hit the statue/urn to get the map. Now keep your way to West. Defeat the enemies here can level up faster for your current status. Southern section connected to Zertinan Cavern. Again, you don't need to go there for now. Central South-West section can find HP<1000 Gambit in the end of the bridge. But it seem has changed for the American version. West section can find the shop which is the merchant by the Gate Crystal section before, and now he's selling Hi-potion. After this, go into the cave there, you're able to save your game here without Save Crystal. Next area is a boss fight. BOSS : Garuda HP : ? Use the Eksir Berries, then keep attacking until it dies, pretty easy. Now the merchant come to this area too, buy some Eye Drops from him. Also buy the Argyle Armlet accessory if possible, it's immune to Blind status effect. In front of the Gate Crystal. Check the Way Stone and choose first option to get into the tomb. =============================================================================== -------------------------| The Tomb Of Raithwall |------------------------- ----------------------------- sep015 O --- Enemy/Monster --- O Lesser Chimera Lich Ragoh Lv : 15-18 Lv : 18-20 Lv : 16-18 HP : 1014-1080 HP : 1164-1180 HP : 1400-1440 Weak : Water Weak : Holy Weak : Wind Drops/Steal Drops/Steal Drops/Steal - Fire Stone - Aero Mote - Earth Stone - Gold Needle - Dark Stone - Eye Drops - Handkerchief - Glass Jewel - Winged Helm - Hi-Potion - Phoenix Down - Solid Stone - Small Feather - Pebble - Pebble - Taurus Gem Seeker Tallow/Candle Zombie Lv : 15-16 Lv : 16-17 Lv : 15-18 HP : 773-794 HP : 1303-1317 HP : 870-880 Weak : Earth Weak : Water Weak : Holy Drops/Steal Drops/Steal Drops/Steal - Antidote - Broadaxe - Alarm Clock - Bat Fang - Echo Herbs - Antidote - Blood Sword - Fire Stone - Eye Drops - Crooked Fang - Green Liquid - Kilimweave Shirt - Smelling Salts - Pebble - Buckler - Taurus Gem - Foul Flesh - Wind Stone Lost Soul Skull Warrior Zombie Mage Lv : 17-18 Lv : 17-18 Lv : 15-18 HP : 970-980 HP : 882-890 HP : 970-980 Weak : Holy Weak : Holy Weak : Holy Drops/Steal Drop/Steal Drops/Steal - Bone Fragment - Alarm Clock - Balance Mote - Dark Stone - Bone Fragment - Dark Stone - Telepo-Stone - Broken Spear - Telepo-Stone - Blazer Gloves - Dark Stone - Foul Flesh - Golden Shield The Way Stone in front doesn't work yet, just go down from the stair. Cross the bridge, and the Demon Wall awakes, it has around 20,000 HP, you better avoid to fight for now, just run to the door behind. If you defeat it, check the jewel the wall to raise up two bridges which are leading to the secret area. But before defeated another Demon's wall in the next area, it won't work. In the secret area, you can probably get the Evil Slayer sword from the chest, but you might just get some gils. You can back here to fight it later, now just head to next area to face the second Demon Wall. BOSS : Demon Wall HP : around 10,000 Initial you move, run close to it and start your attacks. The fires beside are using to stops the boss from moving, check it and choose the second option to turn it off, BUT if it turns to blue fire, the boss will speed up crushing to you. If you had a bad luck turned it blue, faster examine on the other fire and turn it off to stop the speeded up boss. Don't worry, there're only two of them were the blue fire. Remember to cure from the Blind status with Eye Drops or Blinda. Equip Argyle Armet if you had bought it before. It has a skill can remove one of your character away, and also know to casts Doom, you can't heal it for now since your Lore of Remedy wasn't reached to higher level. Keep your MP for Mist Knack/Quickening to deal a large damage in once. After beating this demon wall, if you back to the previous place to finish off the first demon wall, you can press the shining jewel on the wall, and it will raise up two bridges. Save your game by using the Gate Crystal outside, because if you don't do so the chest in secret area won't appear, for American version player, you don't need to do this. After that just go through the bridge to secret area, this area won't display in the map screen. Next section, run down can see three Way Stone, so far only one of them works. Hit the statue behind for the map. Go either left (South) or right (North) section, anyway, you should go both sectiond to unlock the hidden passage, so it doesn't matter where you go. There is a Green Pedestal in South section and Orange Pedestal in North section. If you found the Way Stone, means you would found the Pedestal, it's just around. After checking the Pedestal, use the Way Stone to back in the central and go the other section. Do the same thing for the other Pedestal to unlock the hidden passage. Next section, down bottom read for an Esper battle. BOSS : Belias HP : 15,900 His attack is powerful, but the speed is slow. As you might discover, Vossler can always perform the combo attack in a turn, so you better support him and don't let him die. In the middle of battle Belias will cast Protect and Shell. If possible, cast protect to you front line character as well. Always keep your ally over 300 HP when Belias life bar near to half, prepare to receive Firaja. After that, heal your Oiled ally before he/she get fire damage. After that you gain Belias Esper (summon), you can find it in you License board now. Go into inner area of the West, watch a scene, and you will get the key item, Dawn Shard. Now get out of this tomb through the Way Stone here. Use the Gate Crystal in the entrance, then go down. After some events will fight Vossler in the airship. --------------------- -----------------------------| Airship Shiva |----------------------------- --------------------- BOSS : Vossler HP : ? Sub : Imperial Swordsman x3 Fran in Berserk, wasn't a bad thing. Her speed and damage were increased, but you're not able to controller her, just leave her in berserk. Some swordsmans join in the battle, each of them has 854 HP, better kill them immediately then only focus on the boss. He will cast Reflect later, becareful if you plan to cast spell on him. When he's near dead, his chance of combo hit will be highly increase, move away the character who's spotted by the boss can slightly reduce his combo and turn. =============================================================================== ------------------------| Royal City Of Rabanastre |----------------------- -------------------------------- sep016 You will be back here after some scenes. Go out to have some little discussion. Now you can buy some more advance stuffs from the shops. Make sure buy Esuna magic if you got enough gil, also learn it as soon as the LP enough. Start from now, you can trigger a sub-event in Nalbina. You would miss this when you reach to Mosphoran Highwaste later, and the reward of finishing this event is Salamander, it's a rare treasure which use to be trade for Arcutus weapon. Make sure you don't miss this event if you want the treasure. To start this, go to Nalbina and find the guards who block the way to North, where leads to Mosphoran Highwaste. You can see July is sitting in front of them, talk to her, then close to the guards for a scene. Then hire a chocobo and drive the guard, he will run away. Afterwards, July thank you with the reward, but she wants you to find her over Archades to get it. Later when the walkthrough reaches to Archades, I will explain it, or you can just check the details of this event in 'July The Female Spy' under "Sub-Event" section.

Head to Southern section can see a NPC warrior fighting with some monster, join the battle if you want. Go West route to next place, beware the black or red Chocobo, they always come in group. =============================================================================== -----------------------| Jahara, Land Of The Garif |----------------------- --------------------------------- sep019 A Gate Crystal with moogles are here, you can buy the map from them.

Have a look on the shop that's near. Go to the central area and run up the circle bridge. Next area, cross the only bridge there to trigger a scene. After that, just leave here and return to Ozmone Plains through Golmore Jungle. If you got enough gil, buy the Drain magic. --------------------- -----------------------------| Ozmone Plains |----------------------------- --------------------- O --- Enemy/Monster --- O Black Chocobo Hybrid Gator Mesmenir Red Chocobo Lv : 19-23 Lv : 21-22 Lv : 20-22 Lv : 19-22 HP : 1116-1180 HP : 2233-2253 HP : 1528-1568 HP : 1116-1164 Weak : Thunder Weak : Water Weak : Ice Weak : Thunder Water Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Water Holy - Aries Gem - Destrier Mane Holy Drop/Steal - Bacchus's Wine - Storm Magicite Drop/Steal - Chocobo Feather - Braid Wool - Tanned Hide - Chocobo Feather - Dark Magicite - Fire Stone - Iron Carapace - Fire Stone - Gysahl Greens - Gold Needle - Bronze Mace - Gysahl Greens - Pebble - Echo Herbs - Taurus Gem Viper Wu Zaghnal Zu Lv : 20-21 Lv : 20-22 Lv : 23-24 Lv : 21-22 HP : 1410-1430 HP : 1689-1729 HP : 3157-3179 HP : 1880-1896 Weak : Holy Weak : Wind Weak : Wind Weak : Earth Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal - Alarm Clock - 40 gil - Dark Magicite - Aero Mote - Dark Magicite - Aries Gem - Earth Magicite - Large Feather - Pebble - Earth Magicite - Gemini Gem - Remedy - Quality Hide - Eye Drops - Hi-Potion - Rod - Tanned Hide - Large Feather - Quality Hide - Pebble - Kogarasumaru - Vanish Mote - Wind Magicite When reached here, talk to the injured soldier and give him a potion.

Next section will see some dead body in front of the cavern. All you need to do is enter that cavern without chocobo. =============================================================================== ------------------------------| Henne Mines |------------------------------ ------------------- sep022 O --- Enemy/Monster --- O Jelly Nightmare Redmaw Seeker Lv : 19-25 Lv : 24-25 Lv : 23-24 Lv : 22-23 HP : 1813-2018 HP : 1630-1688 HP : 1134-1202 HP : 1094-1110 Weak : Fire Weak : Holy Weak : Earth Weak : Earth Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal - 500 gil - Dark Magicite - 100 gil - Antidote - Pebble - Hi-Potion - Crooked Fang - Bat Wing - Telepo-Stone - Remedy - Ice Shield - Crooked Fang - Water Magicite - Smelling Salts - Pebble - Smelling Salts - Yellow Liquid - Grimoire Togail - Red Fang - Wind Stone - Snowfly - Taurus Gem - Bloodsword - Wind Magicite Thunderbug Tyranorox Lv : 23-24 Lv : 26-27 HP : 2083-2193 HP : 4073-4413 Weak : Ice Weak : Wind Drop/Steal Drop/Steal - Red Fang - Alarm Clock - Remedy - Earth Magicite - Storm Magicite - Pebble - Iron Scraps - Tyrant Hide - Charged Gizzard - War Hammer In the first junction, go right side can find a switch, press it to open the road to South. Phase 1 Shaft section can find the map. Back to the junction, turn to West. You will face lot of bats in the next passage. Following sections are South-West, then to East, and the East section will encounter the dragon in junction passage. Defeat it isn't a big problem for your current level. Reach to the four ways junction in Eastern area, press the switch and back to the dragons section. Once you press that switch, you will be surrounding by many Jellies, prepare Fire spell for them, you can just run away if you don't want to fight them. Now move to North, the gate was opened. After a scene, you will see a Gate Crystal here, continue to North for boss fight. BOSS : Tiamat HP : 50,000 At the beginning the boss only keep its attacks on one person. Becareful its Aero spell, it could hurt the characters in one area, if you see the boss is charging it, make sure all your character ready to use healing items or spell. However, you take control of a character to evade this move, just run further from the targetted person, once you out of the Aeroga range, you won't get any damage, the recommended area is run behind the boss. Same tactic goes to its other area attack, Disblega. But even is you run off the Disablega, your ally will still get Disable status, cure them with Esuna. When the boss left around 20% HP, defensive power will be increased, but you can kill it with Mist Knack/ Quickening combo before it bursts up, but you probably used a lot of MP in the battle, so if you could get a full bar to perform Mist Knack/Quickening, you can try cast Drain to end the remaining of the boss. =============================================================================== ---------------------------| The Golmore Jungle |-------------------------- -------------------------- sep023 O --- Enemy/Monster --- O Gargoyle Great Malboro Malboro Panther Lv : 23-24 Lv : 22-23 Lv : 22-23 Lv : 21-23 HP : 1436-1494 HP : 1630-1750 HP : 1573-1693 HP : 1299-1519 Weak : Ice Weak : Wind Weak : Wind Weak : Ice Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal - Demon Eyeball - Bucchas's Wine - Earth Stone - Coeurl Pelt - Hi-Potion - Earth Stone - Elfin Bow - Quality Pelt - Storm Magicite - Virgo Gem - Remedy - Storm Magictie - Pebble - Foul Liquid - Smelling Salts - Warp Mote - Gilt Measure - Malboro Vine - Malboro Vine Coeurl Diresaur Hellhound Treant Lv : 36-38 Lv : 28 Lv : 37-39 Lv : 23-24 HP : 4240-4466 HP : 6941 HP : 3570-3790 HP : 4284-4384 Weak : Ice Weak : Wind Weak : Water Weak : Wind Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal - Coeurl Pelt - Earth Magicite - Alarm Clock - Balance Mote - Quality Pelt - Float Mote - Dark Mote - Earth Magicite - Storm Magicite - Hi-Potion - Fire Magicite - Lumber - Warp Mote - Tyrant Hide - Red Cap - Phoenix Down - Remedy - Tanned Hide Back in Eruyt Village. Move to Golmore Jungle and now you can cross the seals there. If you go through the South seal, you will reach Feywood. From Feywood, search around North-East can find a road to Paramina Rift, which is the next place that you have to go. If you go through the East seal, you can find the Gate Crystal, this route also leads the Paramina Rift, but before there you would have a tough boss battle, this may be the first problem of the game. If you couldn't beat it, you can always skip this fight through the Feywood route, but make sure save your game before entering the battle, at least you can skip this fight if you couldn't beat this boss. Let see the boss at the North from Gate Crystal. BOSS : Elder Wyrm HP : around 68,000 A tough battle, recommend your characters are over 22 level, otherwise you must plan a perfect strategy to fight. Two Treants join with boss, kill them as soon as possible. The special skill from the boss could send you lot of negative effects which are Darkness, Confuse, Silence, Oil, Slow and Poison, sometimes with Sap also. If you get those bad status, cure them as soon as possible, or try change out one of your members immediately when the boss readies Sporefall. It's better you have some accessories can immune to status effect from this boss. Esuna spell can cure most of the bad status but Oil, if you get Oil, the fire spell from the boss could probably hurt more then 2,000 HP. Again, an optional way awaits, if you can't finish this off, I suggest don't waste time on this fight anymore, load back your, this boss is always here. By the way, don't fight the monsters in the Feywood, just rush out to North-East for the next destination. =============================================================================== ----------------------------| The Paramina Rift |-------------------------- ------------------------- sep024 O --- Enemy/Monster --- O Dark Skeleton Emperor Aevis Garuda-Egi Lizard Lv : 26 Lv : 27 Lv : 26-27 Lv : 24-26 HP : 1548 HP : 5900 HP : 2997-3065 HP : 2342-2562 Weak : Holy Weak : Thunder Weak : Dark Weak : Water Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal - Burgnet - Ice Magicite - Gold Needle - Fire Magicite - Dark Stone - Ice Stone - Hi-Potion - Float Mote - Dark Magicite - Horn - Holy Magicite - Horn - Death's Head - Leo Gem - Holy Stone - Pebble - Sturdy Bone - Wyrm Carapace - Kogarasumaru - Pointed Horn - Capricon Gem - Hornite - Large Feather - White Incense Skull Knight Slaven Warder Twintania White Wolf Lv : 25-28 Lv : 27-28 Lv : 27-28 Lv : 24-25 HP : 1873-1933 HP : 2623-2743 HP : 4917-5257 HP : 1498-1608 Weak : Holy Weak : Ice Weak : Thunder Weak : Thunder Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal - Capricon Gem - Fire Magicite - Blue Fang - Crossbow - Dark Magicite - Gemini Gem - Ice Magicite - Ice Stone - Hi-Potion - Gold Needle - Ice Stone - Ice Magicite - Remedy - Slaven Harness - Smelling Slats - Phoenix Down - Sturdy Bone - Tanned Giantskin - Wyrm Carapace - Quality Pelt - White Rang - Tanned Hide Wild Onion Yeti Ice Ice Elemental Leshach Entite Lv : 26-27 Lv : 27-29 Lv : 25 Lv : 45 HP : 1616-1736 HP : 4237-4477 HP : 14830 HP : 48042 Weak : Earth Weak : Thunder Weak : Thunder Weak : Thunder Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal Drop/Steal - Antidote - Arctic Wind - Feystone - Electrum - Phoenix Down - Demonsbane - Ice Crystal - Ether - Succulent Fruit - Ice Magicite - Ice Magicite - Feystone - Wind Magicite - Remedy - Ice Stone - Leshach Halcyon - Tanned Giantskin - Ice Crystal - Telepo-Stone Northern part is where you have to go, or you can explore around this wide area first. South-East side leads to Feywood, Southern area connected to The Stillshrine Of Miriam, you will go there later. Central section trigger a scene. After all, move to North-East area for your next destination. The enemies here were not too hard, explore around for some treasure. If you found Yeti, try steal the Tanned Giantskin from him, which can be sold for 672 gil for each. =============================================================================== -----------------------------| Mt. Bur Omisace |--------------------------- ----------------------- sep025 A Gate Crystal and shops here, you can find some advance spell stuffs from the seeq. Forward to North, later turn to East will see the entrance of this building. Enter the building, some events happen in the hall, then Larsa left the party. Buy one or two Ice Shields from the shop, because you're going to face an ice elemental boss in the next destination.
