Final Fantasy XII

Unlockable: Trophy Games

In the Phon Coast there are three "shady bangaas". Once you've foundthem go up to the bangaa up top behind the "shady bangaas". He'll tellyou to got hunt a trophy game, I forget his name, but the bangaa willtell you. He'll also tell you how to flush it out of hiding. Follow hisinstructions, and you'll be fighting that rare game in no time.

Dispel the game first before charging in to kill him. Buff up your mainattacker with Haste, Berserk, and Bravery and leave him alone. when hegets low on health, use a Curaga spell on him. With this tactic, therare game will fall easily.

After defeating the game, you'll receive a key item called a "ShelledTrophy". Bring that to the bangaa. CONGRATULATIONS! you've now unlockedall trophy hunt. (it's Under Rare Game in the bestiary).

Hint: Spirit Salamander

You can find him in the Northern section, Central Junction section, or Ogir-Yensa Sandsea, during sunny weather.

Hint: Survive in the Beginning

After you complete you first hunting mission for the Renegade Tomato,don't bother go after that dinosaur you see in the distance. He's notbothering you, and he's stronger than you. He'll kill you quickly. Justgo back to the city.

Hint: Zodiac Spear Insurance

If you plan on getting your hand on this, most powerful weapon in thegame, DO NOT open the barrel that sit directly across from Dalan'sdoor. Apparently it's linked to four other chests in the game that mustremain closed until you have the opportunity to acquire it in Nabudis.

Hint: Gambit Advice

When it's time to equip those gambits, it's best to assign a "healingally" gambit as your first priority. You may think getting the hits infirst will get rid of enemies quicker, but you'll never make it iftheir health get too low, too fast.

Hint: Respawning Barrels

Find any item barrels around the Save Crystal, open the barrel to getthe item, save your game now, then quit the game and load it back, goto the same place will see the barrel is still there, you can getanother random item.

Hint: Infinite Chains

It is very simple, in such places as the Yensen Desert or the airshipwhere you rescue the princess Ashe, you can just take your time in themaze-like passageways and wander around without leaving the area andthe same type of monsters will spawn, heal after every battle andcontinue until you have chains going up to 300.

When you get back to town you will hae enough items to become very richas well as attain levels, it is a good idea that wherever you findthese points you use them to the fullest potential.

Hint: Yagyu Darkblade

While in the Lhusu Mines, far into the game, or at the Gilgamesh MarkHunt, go to the bridge that is pointing South-West (or South-East).It's a diagonal. Anyway, enter and re-enter in a few times until yousee a black Bomb (Bullitt) appear. Kill it, and you'll have a chance ofgetting the Yagyu Darkblade (called the Yagyuu's Onyx in the Japaneseversion).

You cannot go here until the get the Area 11 key, which is convenientlylocated in the Phon Coast and the Hunter's Camp, somewhere around oneof inhabitants (look for the sparkiling object on the ground). Note:you must have done the Antlion mob first.

Hint: Gambit Hint

I might have overdone this, but it sure works with minimal time andeffort. First equip everyone with spears, barbuts, iron armor andargyle armlets. This will give you maximum power/speed ratio. If you donot have the money nor LP to do this, go just west of the SandseaMoogle in the the Sanscale Bank and you will find enemies calledAlraune. Kill them all, go back to to the moogle and 1 screen east.

This makes the monsters respawn and takes a little time, go back andkill them again. Steal succullent fruits and maces from them (setgambit) and they also drop succulent fruits very often. The maces sellat 900 gold but these fruits sell at 363 each and you can quickly buildup 99 of of the fruits since you ccan respawn them quickly. If you wantto keep the combo up, when you have 99 succulent fruits, flee all theway back to the merchant without touching a save crystal, sell them allfor 35,937 gold, flee all the way back to the Alraunes and repeat theprocess as needed.

Set all gambits to attack nearest and heal manually. Start with thepeople that do not have quickenings in case they get ejected frombattle (with a little luck it will be Vossler) And use all quickeningsat the end if needed. For higher level characters, just attack and youshould even have time to steal. All my guys were level 17 – 20 and Ihad a little difficulty until Vossler was ejected instead of one of myparty members, then it was easy.

Hint: Paramina Rift Experience Exploit

In the Paramina Rift there is a great place go get a great deal of EXPquickly and easily. Go to the Spine of the Icewyrm (check your map) andthere are two Twintanias and about three Garuda-Egis. The Twintaniasalone drop between 600 to 750 EXP a piece.

When finished (or if you get low on health) retreat to the Path of theFirst Fall and use the save crystal. Save an reload the game so the thebeasts respawn. This is a great way to grind out some levels beforegoing into the Stilshrine of Miriam.

Hint: Airship Sidequest For Ring of Renewal

If you talk with the Chief Steward on your first airship flight you get the option to participate in a sidequest.

You get the item "Ann's Letter" and have to deliver it to her sixsisters who are chief stewards on other airships throughout Ivalice.

You cannot finish this side quest until you can access the port ofBalfonheim's Aerodome. If you complete the quest, you get the ring ofrenewal which gives you 6 defense, 5 magic resistance, and regeneration.

Hint: Yiazmat Battle

1. Armor of choice high defense and magic defense such as cirlet, robe of lords , grand armor , grand helm and etc.

2. Weapon - best choice dark element weapon such as Yagyu Dark blade and other high attack power dark element.

3. Techniques - use Expose to lower Yiazmat defense.

4. Characters with high strength and speed. Vaan, Basch, Balthier, Fran are strength. Vaan, Penelo, Fran, Ashe are speedy.

5. Accessories - power armlet strength +2 anti stop, - genji armletenable mutiple hits, - cat earhood increase speed and vitalty.

When Yiazmat HP is halved his defense will increase, a 9999 damage willreduce to 6999, HP is 1/4 his level would be double, HP is 1/8 hisattack would be double and increase of mutiple hits of 12, cast deathstrike twice in a row.

Hint: Tortoise XP Farming

At level 20 you can do the quest Withered tree bridge in Giza Plains.There are six withered trees located around the map, after all six arechopped down you can gain access to the level 37 silicon tortoise.

The way to get tons of experience points per fight is to get to thelocation via party. Make sure all members have job trait charge magic,reflect and gravity.

When you zone into area where the tortoise are located go solo with onecharacter, cast refect on yourself and start fight off with steal, onceyou steal start running in a circle around the tortoise in safedistance as not to get hit by the mob or its lights out.

It will start to cast AGA spells on you but with reflect on they willbounce of yourself and hit the tortoise instead. While circling aroundthe tortoise cast gravity over and over. It will do around 3000 damageto the tortoise and eventually will take the mob down for around 3,500exp per kill. There are four tortoise on the island so the experiencewill add up quickly.

Remember to do it one member at a time and to have those spells or elsethis exploit won't work. I got 7 levels per character in no time plusgood loot from the steal/drop items, plus its a lot of fun as opposedto the same old experience points game play. The only downfall is thelack of license points as opposed to regular combat. You will receivearound 3 per kill. I made up for it by returning to the Lhusu mines andkill there for around 3 hours or so for rediculous license/money items.Well I hope this helps you all and good luck.

Hint: Post-Raithwall Gil Farming

After the The Tomb of Raithwall, you may find yourself in a bit of giltrouble setting up your characters. Get Thief's Cuffs and Dragoon'sMonograph. Golden Amulets for the characters not in play is a goodinvestment as well.

Head to Dalmasca Westerland and go to the section called The WesternDivide and go into the Ogir-Yensa Sandsea. Stay in the section"Platform East Tanks" because your targets are Alraune's. With theThiefs Cuffs you're able to steal Succulent Fruits (300g) and Maces(900g). The Monograph in place will make Alraunes drop up to 1-3Succulent Fruits!

The important thing to remember is you must be able to chain Alraunesto get better drops! The best way to do this is to dive into the nextsection and grab the 2 Alraunes on the first platform, then go down thestairs and up the left platform for another 2. Last 2-3 in this area istricky, head north to the M-pathed platform for 2-3 more Alraunes, justmake sure not to kill any other creature that may break the chain. Bythe time you're finishing up these 6 you can go back to "Platform EastTanks" and clear the respawned mobs. Simply head back to the crystaland out the next screen to respawn everything and do it again!

Doing this I was able to make 100,000 gil an hour. Happy hunting!

Hint: Airship Letter Delivery

This isn't in any particular order except your first airship ride whichis in fact Rabanastre to Nalbina. You will recieve the letter aftertalking to the chief steward on your first airship ride. Here is a listof connecting flights:
  • Rabanastre to Nalbina
  • Rabanastre to Archades
  • Rabanastre to Bhujerba
  • Bhujerba to Balfonheim
  • Balfonheim to Nalbina
  • Balfonheim to Archades
  • Archades to Nalbina
Hint: More Zodiac Spears

Originally, you are only supposed to get one Zodiac Spear. However,after you get the one in the Necrohol of Nabudis and obtain at least 10espers (I had 12), more become available in the Henne Mines.

First, talk to Geomancer Yugelu at Jahara, Lull of the Land AFTERgetting at least 10 espers. He will unlock the path to the ultimateesper, Zodiark. To find this path, enter the Ore Sepperation (where youfought the Tiamat) and continue north to a gate that was previouslylocked. Make sure you save your game in the Staging Shaft, becausethere are no more save crystals if you go forward.

Make sure you are a high level, because the fiends are level 60+ andthe weakest one (Abysteel) has about 20000 hp. But don't give up hope!Continue forward to the SECOND to last room, and turn right.follow thispath down the stairs and begin going up the next path,but stop abouthalfway through.

The games minimap dosen't show it, but there is a small alcove andinside is a chest. Make sure you have the diamond armlet equipped, andopen the chest. You have a 90% chance of getting an elixer and a 10%chance of getting the Zodiac spear. The chest itself appears 10% of thetime, so it will take a while, but imagine an army of Zodiac Spearswith hate bravery, and berserk. Continue on the twisted paths to findthe ultimate esper Zodiark (Keeper of Precepts).

Hint: Saving LP

A smart way to save LP (License Points) in the game while exploring theentirety of the licensing map is to use one character to unlock as manyboxes as possible. Since the maps are identical for all characters, youcan then figure out how you want to use your remaining characters’ LPwithout having to blindly explore each board. By exploiting onecharacter’s LP, you can save the rest of your party from needlesslyspending theirs on skills, et cetera, that aren’t necessarily needed bythem.

Hint: Hidden Merchant

To find a hidden merchant in the Nechrohol of Nabudis, do thefollowing. Head to the northwestern-most corner of the Hall ofEffulgent Light. The room on the map will have a dead end, but it’snot. In the secret room adjacent, you can fight a powerful enemy (youshould be at least level 40 to attempt this). The southeast corner ofthis room is where the real point of interest is, however. A merchantwill be there that can sell you rare items.

Hint: Defeat Braegh Easily

If you’re having trouble defeating Braegh in the "Rodeo to the Death"hunt, all you have to do is cast Reflect on the party. Since Braeghcasts Invert on your party as soon as you engage him in battle, thespell will be reflected on him, leaving him with roughly 10% of hisfull health.

Hint: Endless Chain of Zombies

In the Stilshrine of Miriam, just past the entrance, there is apedestal called the Pedestal of Dawn. If you touch the pedestal withoutthe Dawn Shard equipped, a trio of Zombies will attack you (and willcontinue to attack you if you touch it again, as many times as youwant). This is a great place to accumulate experience, LP, and someloot (although the latter isn't that impressive).

Hint: Acquiring Zeromus

Head to the Paramina Rift Palace after it has been destroyed and talkto the people within. One of them will give you the Stone of theCondemner. Then, head to the Still Shrine of Miriam and use theTeleport Pad when it asks you to use your newly-acquired stone. Thiswill teleport you to a room where Zeromus is. Fight him, and theZeromus Esper is yours.

Hint: Early Game Leveling

To level up early in the game when your characters are still relativelyweak, head to a place like the Dalmasca Westersand or the Giza Plains.In those locales, you can fight enemies like Dive Talons or Werewolves.Try luring them to the dotted blue lines, fighting the foes in thosevicinities so that when your characters become weak you can cross theline, heal up, and go back to fight once more. The experience deliveredwith this tactic early in the game will raise your levels ratherrapidly (only 2-3 fights per level). The ideal place to attempt this isto head to the Giza Plains, and go to the blue save crystal there. Hangaround it, using it to heal as needed.

Hint: Hell Wyrm

If you want to fight the most difficult enemy in the game, make sureyour active party is at least at level 70 or higher, with Bubble Beltsequipped to double your HP. This enemy, the Hell Wyrm, is located inthe Sochen Cave Palace in a secret room.

To find it, you have to first speak to one of the toad creatures on thesummit of Mt. Bur-Ominsace, who will talk of a Wyrm Philosopher. Fromthere, head to Balfonhelm and speak to the man in the bar who will alsotalk about the philosopher. Next, head to Cerobi Steppe, and speak tothe Moogles working on the windmill, who will reveal the philosopher.The philosopher will, in turn, hand over a key.

With the key in hand, head to Sochen Cave Palace, to the Destiny'sMarch section of the map. Do the puzzle there (where you have to runaround a track in a certain order, much like Final Fantasy VI's lightpuzzles). If you do it right, a prompt will tell you a door has opened.Head to the Ascetics Door on the west side of the map, which was thedoor that was opened. Head down the path and use the key on the nextdoor. Inside is the Hell Wyrm, the game's most difficult enemy.

Hint: Easy Revives

If you want an easy way to revive fallen characters, try the following.Head to Balfonheim Port later in the game, when a gambit called Ally:Status=KO can be purchased. This can be used in conjunction withPhoenix Downs or the Raise spells to raise dead charactersautomatically. However, if you use the gambit called Ally: HP < 10%,and combine that with a Phoenix Down or the Raise spell, your allieswill revive one another before they even disappear after being KOed.

Hint: Zodiac Killer

There are four areas of treasure chests that are connected to theZodiac Spear, and if any of them are opened, the spear will not appear.

(1) In the "low town" directly in front of old Dalan's place.

(2) The treasure coffers in the cellars' southeast corner.

(3) The treasure coffers in the Confiscatory. This is after you recover your lost equipment in the Nalbina dungeons.

(4) There is a huge stash of sixteen treasure chests at the easternpoint of Vaddu Strand (Phon Coast Region). If you have opened any ofthe previous chests, you only receive Gil. But the Zodiac Spear bestows150 attack and 8 evasion.

Hint: Easy Leveling

A great place to level-up in this game is at the Nebulous Dead Lands.Head towards where the Stone Golem hunt takes place. The Zombie enemiesyou encounter there are worth about 1,200 experience points apiece(with the Embroidered Tippet equipped, that will be doubled).Additionally, you’ll get chains of around 90 there. Just be sure tobring plenty of Eye Drops -- you’ll need 'em!
