My writing skills are bad, that doesn't mean you can do something on the FAQ
without permission.  Please ask for permission by contacting me first before
using this document for any reason  (check the Contact section), probably I
have no problem of giving permission as long as you give me proper credit and
not editing the guide, that's easy enough. And I forbid the every websites and
the members from there using this FAQ, namely:
 - www.cheatcc.com
 - www.neoseeker.com
 - www.final-fantasy-12.com
(**I'm not promoting them, just notification**)

I know there's somebody even worse than theft site, they stole and sold FAQs
from the actual authors. Believe that no FAQ authors allow to them to do so
including myself. If you found any businesses like this, please do not support
or buy these stolen hardworks which made by other people. Why would you buy 
it when you can read this document here for free?

- 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 include some 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.

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.

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'.

   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

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. Do the same thing for next turn till none of
 the skill button exists, press R2 to shift the chances, press the button
 when any of them exists again to chain the combo. Repeat as much as possible
 to make a higher combo.

The "Equip" is added in the Party Menu, but so far you don't have other
equipment to change to. Starting out in the pool, you have to defeat all
rats around to trigger an event. Afterwards, "World Map" is added in the
Party Menu, and you will come to the street. From current section, go to

Back to Rabanastre Eastgate and talk to the Kytes. After the scene, you came to
North End, just go forward until the Stairwell to Downtown (named Lowtown for
American version) at East and enter. Before that, you can find your Tomaj in
The Sandsea for reward, but you could find him later, he will still give you
the rewards.
                            ------------------------
----------------------------|   Downtown/Lowtown   |---------------------------
                            ------------------------

Reach to Southern area here, enter Old Dalan's Place near the water way. Don't
open  the treasure chest in front of this room, it has some connections with a
weapon called 'Strongest Halberd' which you can obtain it later. More details
about this weapon, read the  "Weapons"  section, it's call Zodiac Spear on the
US version. After the scene with Dalan, head to Southgate section through the
circle gate that's nearby. You can see the first Gate Crystal here, it works as
Save Crystal, the extra feather is teleport function. Choose the second option
is to teleport, but you have to activate the Gate Crystal in other location to
be used, and currently you don't have other places to go. Anyway, teleporting
using the Gate Crystal requires an item called "Teleport Stone (Telepo-Stone)",
which are fixed under "Loot" section in Inventory list.

Before leaving the town, thing that you must know is about the clan. In the
Northernmost Street section, go to the West area, there is a room you can't
enter before you talk to the bangaa in front. Just speak with him to enter that
room, the Clan Headquarter. Speak to the moogle named Montblanc at upstair to
become a member of the clan. Later of the game you can always return him for
rewards when your clan rank increases, when you defeated certain bosses and
more. Also they're certain Mob Hunt missions you can only get from Montblanc.
You can join as member anytime before you move on the final place of the game,
you will still get the rewards.

You can also find the clan shop in Bazaar section, where located South-West
of here. Things that are selling in the clan shop will always update when your
clan ranking increase. Again, the clan shop will only exist after you became
a clan member.

Next, go outside from Southgate of Rabanastre.

Keep going straight to the South, on the way encounter some enemies. When you
reach the Nomad Camp, you can find a shop here and Save Crystal at the corner.
Talk to Nomad/Masyua in front of the giant black crystal and choose the first
option. Penelo joins with you after the scene. Now talk to the girl in front,
leave this area you will get some items from Penelo.

Gambit function added in the battle command. Now head to central South section,
fight more enemies if you want, but make sure you DO NOT disturb that two giant
beasts (Werewolf) walking around the South-West corner. Another Save Crystal is
in the South section (Crystal Glade). Speak to Jinn near the dark crystal and
choose the first option to  begin the mission.  Now you need to raise up the
energy until 100% from the shining dark crystal, view the map screen to find
out the location of all four dark crystals (exclamation mark), they're located
in four different area.

When the energy gets to 100%, you will be back at the Crystal Glade, and
return to the camp. After the scene, you obtain 3 Potions and 2 Telepo-stone.
Next, back to Rabanastre.

Penelo will leave the party before you entering Dalan's Place. You will
obtain a key item, the Crescent Stone after speaking with Dalan. Now move to
the Northern area which is the Storehouse 5. Remember the chest in front of
Dalan's Place is the chest that you're NOT supposed to open, or else you'll
lose an easy chance to obtain one of the strongest weapons later. Once you
reach the Storehouse, Kytes will give some items to you. Now enter the left
gate which leads to your next objective.

A Save Crystal is here. The right route leads to nothing, just run up the left
route. Go East and then North, eventually you'll come to the North Spur Sluice,
find the chest at the West end of this section for a Mage Masher.



===============================================================================
---------------------|   The Royal Palace Of Rabanastre   |--------------------
                     --------------------------------------              sep006

Save Crystal is just right behind you. Hit the golden statue/urn for the map.
Start from now, DON'T touch that treasure chest on the right, one of the two
chests there hiding an Elixir, do not open it if you want 'Strongest Halberd/
Zodiac Spear' weapon easily later of the game. For more details about this
weapon, read the "11. Weapons" section.

In the hall, go forward to watch an event. Talk to the soldier, then talk to
the Palace Servent near the pole. Now press "Square" to call the soldier over,
once he leaves his position, run past him, up the stairs and enter the door.

The map of this area is roughly like this:

       __| |____________| |
      X__ A ____________B |____
         | |            |  ____
      ___| |____________| |

                        | |___
                        |______

You start at S, and don't care about the passages at right side. Some soldiers
are blocking your way at point A,C,E.

All you need to do is press "Square" to provoke the soldiers away from blocking
you. First provoke the soldiers at E from F area, while they're coming, run to
the passage below of the map. Now no more soldiers at E, so go to B and provoke
the A soldier. Then go to D, examine the Lion Signet on the floor and use the
Crescent Stone that was given by Dalan before, and the Faint Wall at X will be
activated. Now provoke the C soldiers from D, then run back to E and provoke
the F soldiers. Go back to the passage below and move to X.

Inside the secret passage, just go to the end of the passage and check the
switch on the left wall, push it to unlock the door on the other side here,
open it to next area. After the scene, you will obtain Goddess's Magicite,
now just run to upper level through the stairs to trigger another scene.

Run down and go into the right room to get some gil. A Save Crystal is in
the other corner.  Now head to the tower and examine the switch, Balthier 
tells you to get an energy source to active it. Talk to the Bangaa at the
bottom to get a Fuse Tube, now you can active the switch. Press the switch
at the tower and another near the Bangaa to open the gate. Before leaving,
buy the Blizzard magic from the Bangaa merchant.

Next area, defeat the zombie and kill the Battery Mimic to keep the battery
energy from depleting. You need to kill all Battery Mimics in the following
sections to gain battery energy. In the Great Eastern Passage, turn back to 
the broken railway on the right to find the urn, hit it for the map of this 
place.Go into the right station to find two more Battery Mimics, some Flans
are here too, use the Fire spell against them if you want to kill them faster.

After that, head to South, then go West from the next section. There's a switch
in the North-West end, and you must press it to open the Southern gate, back to
South route. Find the Save Crystal after the scene, then advance to the next
area. Another Save Crystal in the South-East railway, after this is the boss
fight, so make sure you save you game here, learn the Blizzard magic before
the fight.

  -----------------------------------------   '-----------------------'

  Some small mimics join with the boss, killing them is just a waste of
  your time,  just focus on attacking the boss,  now Basch has slightly
  higher offensive power, so don't let him die during the fight. Thunder
  spell will heal the boss, but Bizzard spell deals the most damage, that's
  why you should buy it from the Bangaa at the beginning of this area.

                           --------------------------
---------------------------|   Dalmasca Estersand   |--------------------------
                           --------------------------

You Appear in the Dalmasca Estersand after the scene. Leave here and go South.
Next section, if you go East it leads to the entrance of Nalbina, you can go 
there and activate the Gate Crystal first. South is connected to Giza Plains.
South-West is back to Rabanastre, and this is your current destination.

If you need a map for this area, head North, a Moggle is selling the map for
50 gil, and you can also find a shop and Gate Crystal here. Enemies around
here are fairly easy opponents, but you probably will see the t-rex namely
Wild Saurian in the section before Rabanastre, try not to disturb it.

                        --------------------------------                 sep010

After arriving in Rabanastre, everyone leaves your party. Starting from now, 
the Moogling is available, you can use them to warp yourself to other sections,
just talk to the moogle beside the Moogling. By the way, your next destination
is Downtown/Lowtown.

                            ------------------------
----------------------------|   Downtown/Lowtown   |---------------------------
                            ------------------------

Talk to Dalan in his place at South to obtain Sword of the Order, also remember
DON'T open the treasure chest  in front of his place  or you will lost the easy
chance to obtain a strongest weapon. Now you can see the Western area marked as
your destination, so reach to there, then talk to the Rabarastran/Balzac who's
sitting on the box, Basch rejoins the party.

Now back to the street, head to East area for some event. Enter The Sandsea and
go upstair to find Balthier and Fran, and they will return to the party. If you
haven't gotten your rewards for Rogue Tomato hunt, talk to Tomaj. Now head to
Westgate, go into the Airship Terminal (named Aerodrome for American version)
on your right hand side. Speak with Balthier in the terminal and choose the
first option twice will go to other place by airship.

Lamont join as guest character. Out to the street, the moogle in the junction
is selling the map for here and the next place that you're going, prices are
70 and 650 gil.  Go East section through the South area, on the way are some
shops, have a look at the shops if you're needing some itmes. After that, run
down the stair after Save Crystal in East section to the mines.

Beware of the traps in this place, you can't see them unless your character 
has Libra status. The traps appear as a red light on the ground. Here is the 
first place that will you find the traps, there are more and more traps in the 
later parts of the game.

First, just go to West, then turn North. Don't fight the Skull Defender or
Skeleton in a group. Go until the Northern cave for a scene. After that, you
will being chased by four bosses,  flee from the fight you can't win at your
current level (you can fight them later in a side quest). Rush to the exit of
the mines, the music stop after you successfully escape from them. Afterwards,
go back to outside. If you can handle the Skull Defender and Skeleton, go to
the road leading North which has lot of these enemies,  chain them for 10-20
minutes, you will probably get lot of Bone Fragments, sell all them afterwards.
This place is really a best place to earn gil for your current level, earn at
least earn enough gil to buy items before advancing the story.

------------------------|   The SkyCity Of Bhujerba   |------------------------
                        -------------------------------

Now back to Bhujerba, you have to do some propaganda to raise the bar until
100%.  Just press "Square" button to do it,  keep a look out and don't ever
let the guards see you while doing it. Do it to the man who's holding a blue 
colored book to raise the percentage faster. Once you've done this, watch the
scene.

There's a board inside the inn, like the one in Rabanastre, at The Sandsea,
which allows you to receive more Mob Hunt missions later. Now check the map,
your next goal should be shown to the North. Move to the North, talk to the
guard on the right, and choose the first option.

Vossler joins as a guest. Use the Save Crystal in the first section. Take 
the door that's closeby to advance. In the first passage, find the treasure 
chest to the South, it should be a Handaxe, but possible it's random, just
have a try on it.

Now check the map to see a mark that's shows your current objective. go to
the connected area and take the door at the bottom to reach there. There is
another weapon which is quite useful for your current status, located in the
Sub-Control Room, Assasin's Dagger, move West in that room, it's hiding in
the last chest. In the area before you reach your objective, a fight awaits.

  **Sub Enemy: Imperial Swordsman x3
               Imperial Magus x1

  You just need to take down the Judges to end the battle, but the other
  enemies won't let you do this easily. If you're planning for a long fight,
  I recommend you kill the Imperial Magus first. During the fight, make sure
  to set a Gambit to use  Phoenix Down  on your ally and put it to the top,
  just in case. If your opponents gang up on your character, he/she will be
  KO'd instantly.

Next section, you can find a shop in left room, System Access Key and the
Save Crystal in right room, rescue Ashe in the second room to the right.
After that, you will obtain Manufacted Nethicite. Buy some recovery items
from the shop. If you got extra gil, buy the accessory call Gauntlets, it's
to increase chances of successfully blocking for the shield users.

Now head back to the previous area,  encounter some more enemies, remember 
you can go back to the Save Crystal to heal your party. Move to the control
room, run upstairs and operate the system with the System Access Key that you
got before. Now you must leave this area within 60 seconds. Check the map and
you can find two more panels that have the same usage, you will probably need
to operate the system again before you get to the West area (where you began
this place),  so just go to the appointed area  and operate it for another
60 seconds to flee. There's another battle awaiting in the West.

  **Sub Enemy: Imperial Swordsman x3

  Kill that three swordsmen immediately before focusing on the main boss.
  If you have  Mist Knack/Quckening move, just use it. Always keep your
  allies a more then half HP. Send two characters with shields to close
  combat, and you control the other character to heal them, depending on
  the situation, if they still have a lot of HP, you don't need to heal
  either.

After defeating the boss, you arrive 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.

                          ---------------------------

go West from here.

Just head up to the tower, follow the only route to West, on the way you'll
face some enemies. You can chain off all Alraune in the first section, you
can get a loot call Succulent Fruit from them, each sell for 363 gil, just
bring them back and sell to the merchant in Dalmasca Westsand from before.

In the second section, Vossler joins as a guest character again. This area 
branches off in a couple routes, but they end up in the same place. If you go
West, you can find a Save Crystal and a moogle, to the South-West, you will
meet an item/accessory/magic merchant and a Gate Crystal. The West route is
recommended, but if you want to buy something, you'd better go both routes.

Another place of importance is the Zertinan Cavern, it's an optional place 
which hides an Esper. This place is connected to many locations, and this is
one of them. Right now isn't the time to find this Esper, if you can't defeat
the monster inside easily, don't try to fight the Esper.

Please check "8. Esper / Summon" for more details on the Esper.

In the North-East area from where you came West out of Ogir-Yensa, talk to the
moogle,  then follow the Urutan-Yensa that he points out. In the Next section,
you will probably see the Urutan Eater fighting with the Urutan-Yensa. Defeat
it with the help of the  Urutan-Yensa. After that,  talk to the moogle again.
Then head back to Ogir-Yensa and up the ramp for a scene. Go 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 to the  small  island  which is connected by two
suspension bridges, hit the statue/urn to get the map. Now keep heading West.
Defeat the enemies here and you can level up faster for your current status.
The Southern section is connected to the Zertinan Cavern. Again, you don't
need to go there for now.

In the Central/South-West section you can find HP<1000 Gambit at the end of 
the bridge. But it seems it has been changed in the American version. In the 
West section you can find the shop which is the same merchant that was by the
Gate Crystal section from before, and now he's selling Hi-potions. After this,
go into the cave there, you're able to save your game without a Save Crystal.
The next area is a boss fight.

  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 Way Stone in front doesn't work yet, just go down from the stairs. Cross
the bridge, and the Demon Wall awakes, it has around 20,000 HP, so you better
avoid to fight for now,  just run to the door behind you. If you defeat it,
check the jewel in the wall to raise up two bridges which lead to the secret
area. But before defeating the other Demon's wall in the next area, it won't
work. In the secret area, you might get the Evil Slayer sword from the chest,
but you might just get some gil.

You can back here to fight it later, now just head to next area to face the
second Demon Wall.

  -----------------------------------------   '-----------------------'

  At the start of the battle,  run up to the Demon Wall  and start attacking.
  The fires to the sides are used to  stop the boss  from moving,  examine it
  and choose the second option to turn it off,  BUT  if it turns to blue fire,
  the boss will speed up to crush you. If you have bad luck and it turns blue,
  hurry and examine the other fire and turn it off to stop the speeded up boss.
  Don't worry, there're only two of them with blue fire. Remember to cure from
  the Blind status with Eye Drops or Blindna.  Equip Argyle Armet if you had
  bought it before.  The Demon Wall has a skill  that can remove one of your
  characters instantly, and also knows Doom, you can't heal it for now since
  your  Lore of Remedy  has not reached a higher level yet. Keep your MP for
  Mist Knack/Quickening to deal a lot of damage at once.

After beating this Demon Wall, if you backtrack 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 the American version  you don't need to do this.  After that, just go
through the bridge to the secret area, this area won't display in the map
screen.

Next section, run down and you can see three Way Stones, so far only one of
them works.  Hit the statue/urn behind for the map.  Go either to the left
(South)  or right (North) section,  either way,  you should go both ways to
unlock the hidden passage, so it doesn't matter where you go first. There is
a Green Pedestal  in the South section  and an Orange Pedestal  in the North
section.  If you found the Way Stone,  it means you have found the Pedestal,
it's nearby.  After checking the Pedestal,  use the Way Stone to go back to
the central area quickly.  Then go to the other section. Do the same thing
for the other Pedestal to unlock the hidden passage.

In the next section, continue on to have your first Esper Battle.

  His attack is powerful, but the speed is slow.  As you might discover,
  Vossler will probably perform the  combo attack  on his turn, so you'd
  better support him and not 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 allies over 300 HP when Belias' life
  bar near to half, prepare to receive his  Firaja. After that, heal your
  Oiled ally before he/she get fire damage.

After that you gain Belias Esper, you can find it on you License board now.
Go into inner area of the West, watch a scene,  and you will get the key item,
Dawn Shard. Level up a little more in this place for the next fight. Once you
have doen, leave this tomb using the Way Stone here. Use the Gate Crystal in
the entrance, then go down the steps. After some events will fight Vossler in
the airship.

  **Sub Enemy: Imperial Swordsman x3

  Fran in Berserk, isn't a bad thing. Her speed and damage become increased,
  but you're not able to control her, just leave her in berserk. Some swordsmen
  join in the battle too. Each of them has 854 HP,  needless to say, kill them
  immediately, then only focus on the main boss. He will cast Reflect later so
  becareful if you plan to cast spell on him. When he's nearly dead, his chance
  of combo hits will be highly increased, move character who's spotted by the
  boss away and it can slightly reduce his combos and turns.

You'll be back here after some scenes. Go out to have a quick discussion. Now
you can buy some more advanced items from the shops. Make sure to buy Esuna
magic if you've got enough gil, also learn it as soon as you've enough LP.

Starting from now,  you can trigger a sub-event in Nalbina. You will miss 
this when you reach the Mosphoran Highwaste later on,  and the reward for
finishing this event is a Salamand Halcyon, it is a rare treasure/loot which
is used in creating the Arcturus 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 going
North, that leads to the Mosphoran Highwaste. You can see July who is sitting
in front of them, talk to her, then move towards the guards for a scene. Then
hire a chocobo from the stable nearby and rush the guards, he will run away.
Afterwards,  July thanks you with the reward,  but she wants you to find her
over in Archades to get it. Later when the walkthrough reaches Archades part,
I will explain it in further detail, or you can just check the details of this
event under 'July The Female Spy' under the "7b. Sub-Event" section.

Back to the storyline, go South from Rabanastre to reach the Giza Plains.

Now it's the  rainy season,  some monsters have changed.  Central section you
will meet moogle and a seeq,  they can tell you  how to get to  Ozmone Plains,
which is your current destination. Continue forward to the South-West to reach
the Ozmone Plains. On the way you may find some withered trees, cut them off to
form a bridge in the South-East  to unlock that section.  This is actually for
Gilgame/Gil Snapper hunting mission  and item for  Cockatorice Find side quest
as well. Spend some time to find all six withered trees around, so it's easier
for you when you go hunting the Gilgame/Gil Snapper later. The trees are in the
Nomad Village, Crystal Glade, Starfall Field, Toan Hills, Gizas North Bank  and
Throne Road sections. For the details of Gilgame/Gil Snapper or Cockatrice Find
side quest, check "7a-2 Mob Hunt" and "7a-6 Cockatrice Find".

Enemies are getting stronger, don't fight them in groups. Central section
leads to Zertinan Cavern, but theres no need to go there for now. An Esper is
hiding inside this cavern, but the monsters inside the cavern are very tough,
come back here later when you are stronger.

Head to the Southern section. You can see a NPC warrior fighting with some
monster, join the battle if you want. Go the West route to get to the next
place, beware the black or red Chocobos, they always come in groups.

A Gate Crystal with moogles are here, you can buy the map from them. Talk to
the right warrior on bridge for a scene. After that, will come to next area, a
shop is here. Now talk to the High-Chief Zayalu (opposite of the shop) to get
Jaya Stick. Now go North-West and speak with the War-Chief Supinelu and give
him the Jaya Stick too, choose the first option twice and cross the bridge.

In the following area, just get close to the warriors in front, choose the
first option during the dialogue to trigger a scene. Larsa joins as guest
character, he's Lamont that joined with your team before.

Nothing to do now, just back to Ozmone Plains, and you can take the chocobo
for free, also obtain Onion Bolt from the Garif if you passed the Jaya Stick
to him.

When you reach the plains, talk to the injured soldier and give him a potion.
Speak with him again and choose the first option to borrow a chocobo, then
leave for previous section of Ozmone Plains.  Now pay attention to the left
side,  go until the area with the other chocobo,  and you now have to go to 
South-East at the place with the  chocobo tracks  on the ground, this path
doesn't exist in the map.

Back to the soldiers area where you borrow the chocobo when you get further
in the story, you can find some items on the ground.

In the ext section you will see some dead bodies in front of the cavern.
All you need to do is enter that cavern without chocobo.

In the first junction, go to the right side to find a switch, press it to 
open the road South.  In the  Phase 1 Shaft  section you can find the map.
Back to the junction, turn West.  You will face lots of bats in the next
passage. The following sections are South-West, then go East. In the East
section you will encounter the dragon in the junction passage. Defeat it
isn't a big problem for your current levels.

Reach to the four-way junction in the Eastern area, press the switch and back
to the dragon's section. Once you press that switch, you will be surrounded by
many Jellies, prepare Fire spells for them. You can just run away if you don't
want to fight them. Now move North, the gate has opened. After a scene, you'll
see a Gate Crystal here, continue North for a boss fight.

  At the beginning the boss only keeps its attacks on one person. Be careful
  of its Aero spell, it could hurt the characters in one area. If you see the
  boss is charging it, make sure all your character are ready to use healing
  items or spells. However, you can take control of a character to evade this
  move,  just run further from the targetted person,  once you are out of the
  Aeroga range, you won't get any damage, the recommended area to run is behind
  the boss.  Same tactics go for its other area attack, Disablega. But even if
  you run from the Disablega,  your allies will still get Disable status, cure
  them with Esuna. When the boss is left with around 20% HP, its defense power
  will be increased,  but you can kill it with a  Mist Knack/Quickening combo
  before it bursts up, you probably used a lot of MP in the battle, so if you
  can't get a full bar to perform the Mist Knack/Quickening,  you can try and
  cast Drain to kill off the boss.

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 to 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 getting there
you will have a tough boss battle, this may be the first problem of the game.
If you cannot beat it,  you can always  skip this fight  by going the Feywood
route, but make sure you save your game before entering the battle, that way
you can skip this fight if you can't beat this boss.

Let see the boss at the North from Gate Crystal.

  **Sub Enemy: Treant x2

  A tough battle, I recommend your characters are over 25 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 can send you lots of bad
  effects which are Blind, Confuse, Silence, Oil, Slow, Sap and Poison. If you
  get these bad statuses,  cure them as soon as possible, or try changing out
  one of your members immediately when the boss readies  Sporefall, so you do
  have a chance to heal your allies after freeing from these bad statuses 

It's better if you have some accessories immune to the status effects from
this boss. Esuna spell can cure most of the bad statuses except for Oil, if
you get Oil, the fire spell from the boss will probably take more then 2000 HP.

Again, an optional way awaits. If you can't finish this boss off, I suggest
not wasting time on this fight. Reload your game, remember this boss is always
here, back for reavange when you're stronge even. By the way, don't fight the
monsters in the Feywood, just rush out to the North-East for the next
destination.

To the Northern part is where you have to go, or you can explore around this
wide area first.  South-East exit leads to  Feywood,  The Southern area is
connected to The Stilshrine Of Miriam, you will go there later. The Central
section triggers a scene. After the scene, move to North-East area for your
next destination. The enemies here are not too hard, explore around for some
treasure. If you find the Yeti, try to steal the Tanned Giantskin from them,
which can be sold for 672 gil for each.

A Gate Crystal and two shops are here, you can find some advanced spells 
from the seeq. Forward to the North, next turn East and you will see the
entrance of this building. Enter the building, some events happen in the
hall, then Larsa leaves 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. However, you can get this shield
from a drop  from one the monsters there if you are  lucky.  Now back to the 
previous area,  talk to the moogle around the Gate Crystal for a chocobo, if
you don't want to fight your way to the next area, but it'll cost you 600 gil.
Go back to Paramina Rift, then head South, continue past the Save Crystal to
reach the next place.

Cross over the long bridge to find a Gate Crystal before the entrance.
Inside there,  search the central area to see a  Pedestal of the Dawn.
Let your  leader character  equip the  Dawn Shard  that you got in the
Tomb Of Raithwall before, examine the stand and choose the second option.
For the Japanese version, you have to choose Ashe as your leader.

Follow the passage until the next pedestal, do the same thing with the Dawn 
Shard as before. On the way you'll encounter some enemies, don't fight them
in groups especially the Dragon Aevis.

In the next area, get ready to destroy the green crystal/Crystalbug, its magic
is quite strong,  prepare to heal for each turn it takes.  After defeating it,
the real Save Crystal appears in the same place, use it to restore your HP and
save your game too.  Now down to the central passage, then move South in the
next area,  examine the giant blade there to open the room in North, use the
Way Stone inside that room to return the main hall.

Go down the West stairs in the main hall, in the next area the West passage
will come to three way section. Here follow the right (North) passage until
you get to a huge statue, rotate it to face East. In the following section,
find the second statue in the South, rotate it to face North. Move to the East
section, before the third statue, a boss awaits.

  |   ELE. : -         - Thief's Cuffs    |   |   Average Lv : > 16   |
  -----------------------------------------   '-----------------------'

  Cast Protect on your team before opening the door. If you're wearing some 
  heavy equipment, your action speed will be slowed down because of the magnet,
  but it isn't a big problem. Just cure your characters from negative statuses.
  The boss can cast Slow on your members. It will probably perform Sword Dance
  before it dies, this move can hurt all your characters in an area, make sure
  to heal your characters when needed. The entire battle is easy.

After the boss, go into the room and rotate the statue, this one should face
West, you can also find the map behind the status. Back to previous area to
see the giant blade has raised up. Now go to main hall and use the Way Stone
back to the inner area. Head to Southern section, make sure you have some 
Alarm Clocks item.

  **Sub Enemy: Ice Azer x5

  Must set Gambit to use Alarm Clock when alies get Sleep. Some Ice Azer join
  the battle, they are not your friends.  Finish off them first.  Ice Shield
  helps lot for this battle, equip it. Don't use elemental attack, just keep
  on your normal attack. The Blizarja from Mateus causes 700-900 damage to all
  targets, so keep your characters over 900 HP unless you have Ice Shield.
  If you're a zodiac gems collector, you can steal the Pisces Gem from the
  boss, this gem is quite rare.

Now you've got new Esper, Mateus in the License board. Continue to South,
get Sword of King after the scene. On the way going back to the Way Stone,
you might encounter Negalmuur, which is a rare monster. This monster will
keep summoning the Ghastes, if you want to kill it easier, send Silence to
Negalmuur to stop the it from summoning.

Now go back to Mt. Bur Omisace, use the Gate Crystal to teleport there if
you want.

                            -----------------------
----------------------------|   Mt. Bur Omisace   |----------------------------
                            -----------------------

Something has changed since your last visit. Prepare your team before moving
on, a fight awaits in the building. Before that, Haste magic is available in
the shop, buy it if you have enough of gil,  also buy the  Regen if possible.
Go out to Paramina Rift and cast all support spells like Protect, Haste and
Regen (if you have bought it) to all characters, then back to Bur Omisace to
save your game on the Gate Crystal, so you can begin the next fight with all
these support statuses.

  -----------------------------------------   '-----------------------'
  **Sub Enemy: Judge x3

  Kill the three Judges behind your team, and be sure you focus the lowest HP
  Judge first. For the main target, he can cast Dark, Watera and Aero randomly,
  also his normal attack. For safety, set one of your character stay behind to
  heal other characters, for characters who have shield, I recommend equiping
  the Gaunlets accessory, which increases your chance of successfully blocking.
  The battle takes place in a long passage, sometimes you can use the length of
  the passage to delay the attack from the boss. After getting a hit at one of
  the ends, run to the opposite end, but make sure the boss is still targeting
  on your leader.  While the boss is  chasing  your leader, let your other two
  character deal some damage to him. Meanwhile,  cast Regen on the character
  that you are using to lure the boss.

After that,  speak to the  Acolyte  who's walking around stairs outside the
building, and you will get Stone Of The Condemner. With this stone, you can go
back to Stilshrine Of Miriam to fight the hidden Esper, it's call Zeromus. To
find this Esper, go Stilshrine Of Miriam and use the Stone Of The Condemner to
the Way Stone in main hall, and you will be warped to a secret room, go next
door the fight it. But of cause it's very strong for now, go find this Esper
when you're stonger. Check the "8. Esper / Summon" section for the details,
and this is call Zeromus esper heading.

Your next destination is Archadia, from the locations that you've been so
far, it's North from Nalbina West Entrance.  So if you've already activated
the Gate Crystal there,  and if you still have some  Teleport Stones, just
teleport there from the Gate Crystal here,  if not,  you should backtrack
to Rabanastre city, then take the airship to Nalbina Fortress.

Additional notes:
Some advanced items are being sold in both Rabanastre and Nalbina shops, 
have a look at the shops. I recommend buying the Foe: Lowest HP Gambit from
the shop in Rabanastre, it targets on the lowest HP enemy in the group, which
makes you defeat the lowest HP enemy, easy for many random battle, just spend
50 gil to own it.

Beware of the Fire Element in the second section,  it has 14,830 HP, tough
enough for your current level, but if you defeat it you could gain lots of EXP.
Another tough monster is the Ash Wyrm, but you probably won't encoutner it for
now. In the Central section you can find a Gate Crystal and shop.

Assuming you've noticed the Shrine of Winds that are around, once you've
touched it, the stones will be raised up to the sky and form a road in the
sky. As for what is in the sky? There's an optional Esper awaiting, Exodus.
Later when you have reached the Phon Coast,  backtrack here for the quest.
All you need to activate are the Shrine of South, North-West and West to form
the correct road, if you don't want to solve this puzzle yourself, check the
"8. Esper / Summon section", look for Exodus/Exdeath Esper.

Hint: the chocobo at North-East area can help. But do remember the Esper is
quite tough for now, make sure to save the game before going for a try.

The South connects to the Dalmasca Eastersand, the North-West is where you
have to go. Cross over the big suspension bridge to reach Salikawood.

NOTE: Some monsters show after you've defeat King Bomb.

Before the following suspension bridge you will see a  Save Crystal. In the
next section after the Save Crystal, go in a South-East direction to find the
map inside that golden statue/urn. In the Central section the Gate Crystal can
be found.  East is where you have to go for now.  Chain the Pumpkin Heads for
possible Succulent Fruits to sell, most of them were sleeping, so you do have
some advantages in fighting them.

**Below is the information of optional places

West leads to Necrohol Of Nabudis, go North-West can reach Nabreus Deadlands,
and these two places are connected to each other. If you're going to find the
Chaos Esper, you must go through these two places. And as I mentioned in the
ealier in the walkthrough, the chests that you're  not supposed  to open are
related to the Strongest Halberd/Zodiac Spear in Necrohol Of Nabudis. If you
have followed the walkthrough, the 16 chests are definitely in the Nabudis,
check this map below find the 16 chests.

http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_nabudis.png

Before that, I would like to tell you, the monsters in Nabudis are very tough,
and you need to defeat an optional boss in Salikawood only then can you reach
to Nabudis. From the Gate Crystal, go North to fight this boss.

  -----------------------------------------   '-----------------------'
  **Sub Enemy: Bomb x3

  Better prepare a Flame Shield for your characters for this battle. Three more
  mini bombs join in the battle, their self-destrustion deals great damage, but
  you can kill them before they explode. Remember to cure Oil status before the
  boss casts Fire, Fira or whatever Fire elemental attack. Not much HP for this
  boss,  but the hardest part is the fact it can to fully restore its HP, it
  mostly will restore when the life bar is left around half.  When you see it
  running away from you  (decribed as "Crying for some help"), it is possible
  it will spawn new mini bombs or restore HP.  What you can do is  perform
  Mist Knack/Quickening  when the boss has around half its HP bar left, and 
  hopefully your Mist Knack/Quickening combo will kill it.

Again, if you couldn't beat it for now,  remember you can always  run  away
from the fight. For your next destination, move to the Eastern part and talk
to the Moogle Boss (not the boss that would fight you) to find out that he
needs the moogles around to build the gate. Now find 9 other moogles in the
wood, they're displayed as exclamation marks on the map screen, search for
them in Forest Bungalows and speak with them.

After finding the last moogle,  choose the first option during the dialogue
to follow them back to the Eastern area. Now a new road has opened up, before
leaving here, speak with the  Moogle Boss  for an accessory, Quasimodo Boots.
Then follow this road to next place.

Once you reach will see a Save Crystal. A pretty big area here if you wish to
explore, if you don't, just head to South-East for a scene. Same place can find
a shop and Gate Crystal, through the board around here can find more side
missions.

If you haven't take the 16 treasure chests in Nabudis, at South-East most of
this area, you can see 16 treasure chests there, don't open anyone of them,
reason is they had some connections with the 16 treasure chests in Nabudis,
if you open the chests here, those were inside Nabudis will disappear. One of
the chest in Nabudis was hiding the weapon, 'Strongest Halberd'! Read the
"Weapons" section for more details about this weapon, or read the section
above (Salikawood) for the location of it. By the way, Zodiac Spear was the
name for American version.

Now go to North-East, there is another Save Crystal in the last part, pass
there reach to next place.

  Needless to say, you should focus on killing one of them. At the beginning,
  they just running around, find your target and cast Dispel it, attack before
  the other bosses come together, and remember never ever be surrounded. Attack
  your target again when they are separated. If you could handle this battle
  well, try steal the loot/treasure from each of them,  they're holding some
  pricy things.  Steal Four-leaf Clover from Mandragora Prince, Tomato Stalk
  from Topstalk, Onion from Onion Queen, Gimble Stalk from Alraune King and
  Jack-o'-Lantern from Pumpkin Star.

After this you can return to the boy in the Tchita Uplands Gate Crystal section
for your rewards, of cause you could find him later if you want.. Now go either
left or right door, through the passage to North. You can see the Save Crystal,
but it's the Crystalbug again, do prepare your team before you touch it.

Next section is Mirror of the Soul, quite complicated, make sure you take the
map at the East. Move to North come to Fall of Time section, here's a hidden
treasure awaits to be exploded.

Look at the map now you can see you're currently at the place with five
different pathes, which is the Fall of Time section, the small area in the
middle was the hidden treasure, but you can't reach there before you solve
some little puzzle. See below to solve it.

Reference map:

  (_  ___  ___  ___  ___  _)
    1N   2N   3N   4N   5N
     |    |    |    |    |
    _|____|____|____|____|_
   (                       )

   _1S___2S___3S___4S___5S___
  (                        (M)


(M)= where you get the Map
 S = start here
 H = hidden treasure

-The hidden treasure at H is blocking by waterfall.
-So once you visit the central section from the right (Eastern) path you're
 reached to S.
-From S follow this route:
 S > 5S > 1S > 1N > 4N > 4S > 2S > 2N > 3N > H
-If you follow so, the waterfall which blocking in the central will disappear.
-Enter to H for your treasure, you will get either Koga Blade, Iga Blade,
 Elixir, Dark Matter or gils.

Afterwards, head to North. In Destiny's March section, run to South, West,
North and finally back to East, the secret path to the West will be unlocked
which leads to the arena of an optional boss. Now you can't open the arena yet,
for more details of this boss, you can check the Hell Wyrm/Majinryuu under the
"Optional Bosses" section. Continue to North when you done.

  Just keep attacking, always cure the negative status. When the boss left
  around 50%, it will send you Doom repeatedly. Besides that, the boss can
  always create one or more of its own shadow, the shadow has not much HP,
  so you better defeat them for first, but sometimes the shadow will automatic
  disappear. When it has created many shadows, try running around until some of
  them were gone.

Same place, search the side for possible random treasure with Elixir and
Phoenix Down.  After all, continue to North until the last area, operate
the panel above and will go upper level. You can see the Gate Crystal there.
After that, follow this passage which leads to outside.

First, move to North through the left passage, there is an elevator, check on
the panel and choose 67 floor.

  **Sub Enemy: Rook x4

  The Rooks can absorb your MP, so make a Mist Knack/Quickening before your MP
  gone, make sure it's the good combo. Set Gambit to heal ally with Hi-Potion,
  X-Potion is recommended if you have lot, if not, save it for later. Focus on
  destroying the Rooks before the boss, but becareful when the Rooks left two,
  they will shoot your team like crazy, so you better prepare your X-Potions.
  After all Rooks have been defeated, beware of the special move from the boss,
  sometimes he will just walking around without attacking, actually it was the
  sign to tell you the special move is coming, spend a turn to heal all your
  character if due. And do remember Dispel his supporting spells for the first.

When you just step inside here, make sure you had cast Libra, reason is there
was a trap which can send a large damage to all your characters at the entrance
of Golmore Jungle. The map for this area is located at the Walk of Stolen Truth
section.

North-East route leads to Paramina Rift, West route is to the inner side of
Henne Mines, you can't go further in the Henne Mines for now since the road
was blocked, but you can have a try to fight with one of the strongest enemies
of the game there, Abysteel. Make sure you've saved your game before go to this
place. By the way, the only Sve Crystal here is at the South. Get close to the
seal storm for a scene. After that, you're able to South. Before that, cast all
Haste, Regen to everyone.

  **Sub Enemy: Malboros

  It's a MP decrease handicap, means your MP will be decreasing overtime.
  Set Gambit to heal ally with items, and cast Dispel on the boss at the
  beginning of the battle. When you're able to use Mist Knack/Quickening,
  use them before your MP decreased lesser than a bar. Later, some Malboros
  will be spawned to help the boss, focus to kill them one by one. After the
  Malboro, the boss start sending some nasty statuses by the special move,
  prepare the items for the bad statuses especially Confuse. Another way is
  change your party to be one character to receive those bad statuses, then
  set out other characters to heal him/her immediately.

Continue to South, next section can find the map for here, don't forgot to take
it. Following section, you can see some Feywood Glyphes here, they're displayed
like a star shape in the map, for now only one of the them is activated, go on
to it and examine the Pattern on the only activating glyph.  By doing so, you
can see an illusion show on the side,  turn your camera view to find it, then
face to the illusion and forward to that direction, you will reach to the next
Feywood Glyph with the pattern. Examine the pattern on this glyph for the next
illusion, do the same thing to find the following Feywood Glyph. Keep on doing
this until you get to the next section.

Next section has some more Feywood Glyphes like previous area, just to the same
thing like before. Eventually the last illusion will direct you to the gate at
South-West corner, now summon out your Belias esper, then check on the door and
choose second option to open it. Before to the next area, have a look on the
area around, there's an random treasure with Ensanguined Shield would appear
here. From the direction of the gate at South-West, go forward and you will
see a trap is there, the Ensanguined Shield in on the trap if it does appear.

Anyway, this shield has highest evasion point (90), but it has auto Slow, Sap
and Poison statuses, seem to be a bad shield, but you can have a try on using
it when your character stats get to higher level. And here is the location,
again, it's random.

Just cross over the bridge, use the Gate Crystal in the first junction, or you
may need to return Balfonheim to buy some item. Check the Way Stone in the end
and use it to the West. Next area, before encountering any monster, a boss
fight awaits.

  -----------------------------------------   '-----------------------'

  Cast Haste, Regen and Protect on your party before attack, but it's better
  you done all these jobs before trigger out the fight. The boss will use some
  elemental attacks, change the suitable equipment to block against them, like
  while he readies Ice elemental spell, equip Ice Shield to reduce the damage.
  When he left around 1/5 life bar, his combo attack like crazy, try perform
  Mist Knack/Quickening  to finish him off,  otherwise you have to spend some
  Phoenix Downs.  Another easy way is use the healing spell since it could be
  a damage on him, cast Curaga or Curaja may be even powerful than your normal
  attack. But it's better learn at least the level 2 Mist Knack/Quickening so
  that your do have more MP to cast healing spell as your attack move.

Afterwards, use the Way Stone to leave here. Next section, go down and push the
switch to unseal the road. Continue to down (South) for the next switch, beside
this, Mythril Golem is guarding, push the switch then run if you don't want to
fight them. Western most of the section would face two more Mythril Golem, the
looks like the end, but if you face North and run out, a hidden bridge will
appear, just cross it.

Next section, push the switch at central of South passage, North-East corner
and central South-West, is better don't fight the enemies in group, finish off
them one by one could save lot of strength. After all, head to the end of the
road, another hidden bridge appear when you run out to West.

After the scene, open the Bulwark Hemera in front, the Save Crystal is here
before the next Bulwark Hemera. Next section, the Gate if Fire, stay in central
of the long road, face East and run outside, the hidden bridge appears, just
follow it to the central for a boss battle, make sure Haste all your ally now.

  -----------------------------------------   '-----------------------'

  You can't use any skills in the battle, even if you have lot of gils but no
  chance to use Gil Toss. At the beginning, Dispel his Protect and Shell before
  attack, keep you character more then 60% HP. If you have Flame Shield, equip
  it when the Firaga being used, do remember you can find out what is going on
  from the information message on the top left screen. Regen or Esuna to cover
  Sap status if you don't have much of Remedy.

After defeating the boss, take the  Way Stone here to the next area.

Here you can see one way is going up and another one is to down, just follow
the down way. Beware of the trap around the treasure in the following platform,
this treasure, which is the first treasure before you reach the next Way Stone,
you could get the Black Mask from it, but too bad it was random, so just have
some tries on it. After that, take the Way Stone VII. Next, you will see VI,
and from here can see three ways, one is where you came, another one is sealed,
follow the remaining way to find the switch, push it to unseal other way, then
cross over that way. 

Continue to down till the Way Stone V, use it warp to IV. From IV, go up to
end and push the switch there, but before you can get there, you can see some
Mom Bomb surrounding a treasure, and you do have a chance to get Holy Lance
from this treasure, but it's random, since most of the later enemies are weak
against Holy, so I recommend back here to have some tries if you didn't get
the Holy Lance. After pusing the switch, back to IV and go down to other way,
push the one in the middle, then continue to next way will see III. From here
if you go up will get back to IV, but you don't need to go there. Now just take
the Way Stone III to next area to trigger a scene.

Now appear in II, go down and you will see Way Stone I and the Save Crystal,
save your game here. Take the Way Stone I back to Ancient City, then open the
Bulwark Hemera in front for the next boss battle, cast all support spells on
your party before entering the battle.

  -----------------------------------------   '-----------------------'

  Dispel her Haste for the first. The esper can absorb all elemental spells,
  but only when she changed, better pay attention on her elemental weakness
  change if you going to use magic.  The esper will absorb your MP randomly,
  so set a Gambit to use X-Potion as your sub healing action in case of your
  MP has been absorbed. Although you would get Silence status, but sometime
  you can avoid from your MP being absorbed,  from what I've noticed, this
  esper didn't absorb the MP from the character with  Silence, so when the
  character has regained some MP, cure the Silence to heal other. Shock and
  Flare could are very dangerous moves, prepare your Phoenix Down or Raise
  magic on the character who's spotted as the target. By the way, you could
  steal the Sagittarius Gem from this esper,  it's using to trade with the
  strongest bow, Sagittarius. Stealing one for now is better than you find
  this loot from other monsters,  if you decided to own the strongest bow
  easier.

After that, you gain Shemhazai Esper.

Next, open the wall to South, check the Way Stone there and choose the first
option, watch a scene. After getting Treaty-Blade, check the same Way Stone,
now it should became Tellurian Way Stone, use it to return to the first area.
Take the Gate Crystal to return Port At Balfonheim.

Move to South-West, talk to the Manse Watch and choose to enter the Manse.
Reddas join as guest character. After the scene with Rikken, Raz and Elza,
head to the Airship Terminal/Aerodrome in the Eastern section, use the private
airship to your next destination, The Ridorana Cataract, it's located at the
South-West side on the world map, but don't forgot to restore your item stock
and buy the suitable equipment before moving. You must purchase some Vaccine
for the next esper fight, otherwise it would become the worst fight ever.

Also buy the Arise white magic for now, it's just became available right after
Giruvegan. Another thing is Rose Carsage accessory, it has immune to Silence
ability, which is recommended for the next fight as well, go find two or three
for your party.

Althought you got some helps from Reddas, but the enemies still weren't that
easy, also make a Libra on your own, reason is to avoid from the traps were
set around. South-East is a round area, there are lot of traps in the middle,
search the corner of North-West can find the map in the statue/urn.

Move on to North-East, there is another Save Crystal, beside it got a row of
traps, beware of them. Cast Haste, Protect, Regen on your party, then use the
Save Crystal, go up the staircase to East after saving your game.

  First of all, use Dispel to stop his Haste, and you can even Slow him down.
  Once he get slowed, he would be slow for the entire battle, so be sure you
  had successfully send him Slow status as early as possible. Hydro can send
  you Sap, Disease and more bad statuses, and his tail has Poison touch, so
  prepare the items or  Esuna  to cure these statuses.  Use your Mist Knack/
  Quickening before it has hit away your MP, just make sure you have enough
  of healing items after you spent your MP.  Set one character stay behind
  for healing and support the spells when necessary. Hydro is like Daedalus,
  the boss that you fought in Giruvegan, you can use healing spell to deal
  damage on him, but only do this if you have enough of MP, otherwise you
  better save the healing spells for your own teeam.

After defeating the boss, get close to the entrane to trigger a scene, then
will enter the pharos automatically.

01F, in front on a Way Stone, left hand side can find the Gate Crystal. Search
the Southern corner for the statue/urn, hit it for the map.

In this floor, you have to activate three Black Altars here before you can
enter to the East room, each altar require one black orb/pearl for activation.
To get the black pearls, go kill the enemies around, the orb/pearl appears as
blue colour from certain enemies, check it to obtain. Of cause ou could get
more than three black pearls for collection.

Once you have done, examine all altars one by one and choose second option to
activate them. All altars are around the circle area but in different part, so
you must go through each section to find them. After all, enter to East room.
In the room, your will appear in a desert, find the further rock here and close
to it, it's a boss.

  -----------------------------------------   '-----------------------'

  Cast Dispel to stop its Protect and Shell at the start, then attack with
  your weapon. When the boss down to 50% life, it will build up the barrier,
  and now you can't hurt it,  just wait awhile until the barrier gone. Cure
  your characters from negative status especially Blind, because your weapon
  should be the main attacker for this boss.  When the boss readies for the
  Stone Gaze, move a character further from it, at least one of them is free
  from Petrifying status. If your magic power high enough, you can try the
  wind elemental spell. Anyway, this boss is easier than Hydro, I believe
  you will not have problem in this battle.

After that, leave the room and head back to main hall, use the Way Stone
near the entrance which is not avalable before.

10F, go up will see two Brainpan enemies, you must defeat them to form the 
bridge. Defeat more Brainpan to form up all blocks of the bridges for this
section. Before up to the next section, you can see an empty space lead to a
treasure in 26F, the treasure probably is a Holy Rod, but you could get there,
just leave it for now, if you really want it, back here after solving the
bridges for upper floors.

28F, same as below, defeat Brainpan and move on, if you can't get enough of it,
just run around to find them, they will spawn in the same places. At 35F, you
can see some empty space which leads to a treasure like 26F, but killing the
Brainpan couldn't form the bridge to the treasure. Assuming you've found some
enemies like Brainpan but in red, that's Deidar. To form the treasure bridge,
you must defeat the Deidar, and you can search them here and the section above.
Defeat all of them to build up the bridges in 35F treasure as well as the inner
treasure there, you will get Duel Mask from the first treasure, and either
Zeus Mace or Muramasa from the inner treasure.

Other Deidar will probably spawn at 31F, 32F, 35F, 36F randomly. The last one
with Aeronite should be Vishno, it's actually a rare monster (No.44). It has
lot of HP and powerful magic, better take down the Aeronite before you trigger
out its detection. And the rare drop of Vishno is Ribbon!

NOTE : Killing the Deidar is unnecessary if you don't want the treasure.

Continue to upper levels, open the door to next area, and here can find the
Save Crystal. Go South-West, run up the stairs and open the door to 49F. In
the next door, choose second option to get in, also cast all support spells
on your party.

  It has Regen support, don't bother to Dispel it since it would recast it
  in a second. Recommend two or three character with shield, and Gauntlets
  equipment for them. The speed of the boss attack is very fast, and the boss
  probably kill your ally  instantly  by the combo attacks, better prepare a
  Gambit to heal with X-Potion. Use Fire elemental spell if your magic power
  is good.

After the battle, open the door in front and then use the Way Stone in the
end to next section.

60F, you can see four doors around the circle area, each door seals an ability.
The door to North-West seals magic, South-West seals normal attack, South-East
seals mini map, North-East seals items. You're goinf to face some enemies and
lately a boss, make your best choise for now, I recommend chose the mini map
or item sealing is easier. After your decision, examine the altar in front the
door to open it.

Before that, you now can back to 26F for the Holy Rod if you want, but remember
you have to back here through the way that you came. If you head back to bottom
floor through the Way Stone, at 01F, use it again to reach 10F, then run back
to 26F, now more Deidar should be spawned around there, kill all Deidar to
form the bridge, some of the them would appears above than 26F. The Holy Rod
isn't that powerful, but it has Holy strike which made it powerful against lot
of monsters. Again, if you don't want to spend time on it, don't return to the
bottom floor anymore.

Back to where you were,
61F, just reach South-West corner to next floor.
62F, the stair to above in South-East corner.
63F, move to North-West, hit the wall there will see the passage to next floor.
64F, a Save Crystal here, the way to following level at South-West.
65F, go forward to the door, choose second option to enter.

If you have got the Bio, Sleep spells and your characters had lot of MP
(learn Mist Knack/Quickening Lv 2 or above), there's an easy way for the
next boss, kill Reddas for now and don't revive him. Also make sure to cast
all support spells on your team before entering the fight.

  -----------------------------------------   '-----------------------'

  First of all, cast Dispel again before attack. If you've done the tactic as 
  mentioned in the paragraph above, cast Sleep to Fenrir as soon as the battle
  has began.  Once he's fell to sleep,  attack him with only Bio. That is why
  you must KO'd off Reddas so that he wouldn't attack the boss, which mean the
  boss will just lying in Sleep. Just attack as much Bio as you can, send him
  Sleep again when he has awaken. But without this tactic, he's still no a hard
  boss, just don't let your character KO. Recommend equip shield, normally you
  can block some attacks from the boss. If you've took the Holy Rod, now is the
  time to show it. The boss has great attack power, so put on a Protect on your
  party, of cause you do need a Haste for more advantages. When Fenrir readies
  to perform Ice Break, equip Ice Shield to reduce the damage, change back the
  equipments that were you using before.

Now continue the passage to reach 66F. At 66F, examine the altar which you
choose at 60F, the Dais of Ascendence comes up. Now remember the altar's
colour that you have selected to unseal the Dais of Ascendence, it has some
connections with the Way Stone in 86F. Just do remember the last altar colour
that you select for unsealing the ascendence, if you don't want to know how's
this be affected on the 86F, just read the next paragraph. Let say you choose
the item seal in the 60F which is yellow, at 66F you unseal with the same altar
which is also yellow, so yellow is the one would be affected at 88F. But after
unsealing with yellow, you go and touch the other altar, let say the purple
altar, so now the affected colour at 86F has became the purple.

Take the Dais of Ascendence to the next floor. 67F, a Save Crystal is here.
Check the Way Stone in the central to next section. Again, make sure you have
some Vaccine and Arise white magic for the next esper fight, if you don't have
them, warp back to Balfonheim and purchase them.

This section, you must choose the right medallion only were you able to reach
the upper level, if you took the wrong one, either you will be warped back to
the previous area or 79F. The monsters in 79F are very annoying, you might need
alot of time and items for this fight, and you have to defeat certain amount of
these monsters to unlock the ancient door. Just follow the steps below to
safely reach your destination.

80F, take the Black medallion/sigil
81F, head to South-East, you're able to hit the wall (Fool's Facade), just hit
  it away run into the secret area, inside there was a Green medallion, use it
  to 83F. On the secret area way to Green medallion, a random treasure with
  Rubber Suit might appear, but beware of traps.
83F, evade some traps here. Go hit the wall to outside, take the Red medallion.
84F, make sure you take the treasure behind that two Aeronites, it's Circlet,
  which quite a good helm equipment for your current level. Remember the last
  colour that were you unsealed in the second ascent? Now you have to take the
  same colour with that altar, let say you had unseal it with the Purple altar,
  now you must take the Purple medallion, if you unsealed with Yellow, now you
  must take the Yellow medallion and so on.
86F, go North and hit the wall there, inside there can find a medallion, use
  it to upper level.
88F, get ready to the fight? If not, you can use the only medallion here to
  return 79F. If you had follow these steps above, you won't get trapped in 
  the 79F, which means you won't get the map for this section. Now use the
  White medallion to 79F for the map, however, you don't need to face any
  enemies at 79F by doing so. After taking the map, use the White medallion
  at the back of 79F to return this level. Once you have done, go take the 
  Dais of Ascendence to 90F.

**NOTE: 1. Recommended level up to 50 for the next battles (4 bosses await!).
        2. There's not save point in Third Ascent before the fight at 90F, if
           you're going to level up some more, get back to the Save Crystal
           in Second Ascent or First Ascent. Thanks to Tyler Cooper.

  Make use you have set your Gambit to heal Disease with Vaccine. Dispel his
  Protect and Haste whenever he casts.  You can try use Bio spell on him if
  you have it.  Use Arise for the KO'd character, but if that character got
  Disease status,  needless to say, just use Phoenix Down to revive him/her.
  The boss can also send you Slow effect from his Quakeja, equip Slow proof
  accessory for if you have it, or just use Haste to recover it. Better stop
  attack when the Quakeja it's ready,  start recast Haste and Curaja, if you
  done it faster enough, your party would be recovered before Hashmal perform
  the next attack. Another way is use Float, I think it should be the easier
  way to face against Quakeja; with Float status supports your team, Hashmal
  will probably miss his Quakeja. When his HP down to 20%, he will build the
  full barrier which block all attack and magic, while waiting the barrier
  gone, heal and cure your characters, prepare to finish off him after his
  barrier gone.

Esper Hashmalim added after this fight.

Now you appear in 90F, run up to 92F to watch some events. After that, head up
to 98F for Save Crystal, you're going for some tough fights, make sure cast all
the support spells on your team and save your game here. Continue the way, use
the Way Stone in the end to watch some scenes.

  This is quite easy, cast Dispel at the beginning of the battle before
  anything. Just use the normal attacks to take him down. He has a move
  is quite powerful, but on one target only. You can use a Bucchus's Wine
  one a character to speed up the process. The next fight was the real!

  Equip all character with Rose Carsage for this battle, if you don't have
  three, make sure spend a Gambit slot to heal Silence. First of all, Dispel
  all support spells of Dr. Cid, recast Haste on your party when necessary.

  After taken down Dr. Cid's HP to half,  he will summon an esper, Famfrit.
  Now you can't hurt him, but he still attacking you, you better focus on his
  esper first, take it down as soon as possible only will you able to fight
  Dr. Cid again. His esper is around 160,000 HP, not kidding, it was a long
  battle, make sure you heal your character all the time, watch out for the
  Wateraja which deals around 1,000 damage to all your characters, if you got
  any other equipments with good Magic Resist point, change it to block the
  Wateraja, another good example is Shell Shield. Also Dispel his esper when
  he casts any support spell to it. Fire elemental deals slightly more damege
  to the esper since it's belong to Water element. If you don't think you will
  use much on magic attack, just ignore if he's only cast Shell on the esper.
  Anyway, normal attack can be more useful than magic attack. Sometimes after
  Wateraja, you would get chained attack by Cid's stupid firearm move, and you
  party might ended by this combo, so you must keep your party over 50%/1500HP
  anytime before their combination moves. After finish off the esper, focus to
  your main target, becareful his special attack which can damage all your
  characters.

One more Esper, Famfrit added on License board, after this battle,
and the game allows you to save here.

The last upgrade of the shop before you move for the final stage, of cause
buy the better equipments and restore your recovery items as well. Buy the
Flare (black magic) if you're not going for any other places for the side
quest, and make sure you buy Arise white magic if you haven't got it yet.
Teleport to Dalmasca Estersand and buy the Hastega.

If you're interesting with more side quests for the game, you can actually
start it from here. Once you enter the final stage, you're not able to return
anymore.

Next section, run down the circle area and cross it as soon as possible, only
kill the enemies who're really blocking your way. Reach to the elevator area,
examine the panel for a scene.

  Cast Dispel to stop his Haste.  Not too tough,  just the physical attack
  battle. Cast Regen and Protect to your characters, use Bacchus's Wine of
  Barserk if you want, but don't use to all characters in once. When his HP
  is down to half, he will fully restore his HP and change a little fighting
  style, nothing much different actually, just leave an ally with a Gambit to
  heal when anyone down to 50% HP. You can send him Blind and Slow for easier
  the fight, but you should know this status effect will miss for sometimes.
  Also use the Expose/Armor Break skill if you have. Like some other bosses,
  when he's getting lesser HP, his chance of higher combo will be increased,
  you may need to prepare to revive your character.

After that, prepare for another boss fight, cast all support spells on your
party. Operate the panel when you have done.

  Larse will help healing your character, so you can just focus on attacking,
  but make sure to revive your ally if anyone is KO'd. Dispel the boss when he
  has any support spells. Of cause recast the support spells like Regen, Haste
  on your party.

  Again, Dispel the boss at the beginning.  You can see some flying weapons
  around, you actually can destroy all of them. Since the weapons are flying,
  you have to use range weapon or magic if you want to destroy them. Slow does
  work on the boss. Beware his special attack which can deal over 1,000 damage
  to the party, before he perform this move,  you can see the flying weapons
  will surrounding him. One way to kill him faster is use Expose/Armor Break
  and normal attack, Berserk a character if you want, be sure you heal this
  character.

  Dispel his support spell first, also recast the support spells on your
  party characters, always build Haste on everyone. This is the final battle,
  no need to save your items anymore, use all the Elixir, Megalixir, X-potion
  to heal if necessory, use Gil Toss if your got gil remain, Gil Toss can send
  over 9,000 damage in each throw, 1 damage equal to 1 gil if you have lot of
  gils. Later, the boss will builds physical barrier or magic barrier randomly,
  pay attention on your attacks. Also use your Mist Knack/Quickening to chain
  a large damage, and make sure he's not in the physical barrier. Restore your
  MP with items or Charge and use the strongest spell when the physical attack
  barrier is builded.  If the boss in  magic and  physical barrier in the same

Note:
 Consider an optional area, if you're only to the storyline, you would
 come to this area, but only pass the Gate Crystal section at the West.

 Sometimes, you need the sandstorm to find the Gnome Entite and the Ring Wyrm
 Mob/Mark Hunt. In case of need the sandstorm, you can simply go to North-East
 area, which is the liar of Earth Tyrant optional boss, just enter and exit
 that area to trigger the sandstorm. But if you have defeated Earth Tyrant,
 the sandstorm is no longer there, so you can only leave for other places
 and return this place later for the random sandstorm situation.

 So you better clear the Ring Wyrm hunting before go for the Earth Tyrant.
 As for the Gnome Entite, you need to find it for the Gnome Halcyon, which
 is one of the loot for Ultima Blade trading.

Note:
 On the roads to find Zalera esper, you can probably found some treasure
 if you explore around, and some of them contain lot of gil (1000-3000 gil).
 In the East-West Bypass section, there's a dead end direct to the East, have
 a look on the last trap with some Mimeo monsters, a random treasure would
 appear on the last trap. Equip Diamond Armlet accessory, you could get the
 Bubble Belt in that treasure, make sure that was ON THE TRAP, don't be
 confused by the treasure NEAR the trap.

 As for the Zodiac Escutcheon (named Strongest Shield in the Japanese version,
 it's located at West Annex section, with Diamond Armlet equip, you could have
 a chance to obtain this shield in the treasure at this point:

 you can see the boulder blocking your way which can be pushed from only
 one side, so if you're on the right side of the boulder, push it down to
 the whirlpool to form the new path.

Note:
 Chaos esper is actually not found at this place, however, you must go through
 this place for the process of finding Chaos esper.

 Better clear the White Mousse Mob/Mark hunting for the Sluice Gate Key so that
 you could take control of the water area. Also you need it to find a fragment
 for the process to Chaos esper and the Queklain/Cuchulainn esper fight.
 
 Ok, maybe you'll ask where is Ghost monster, it has a special route to find
 this monster. If you have got Sluice Gate Key, light on No. 4 and 11 panel
 for the first, then go No. 10 Channel through the East, South-East, South,
 South-West sections only will you find Ghost as well as Garchimecera.

Note:
 Lot of equipments, items can be found here, here I only listed the
 rare item. Have some exercises here and you might be suprised to get
 certain treasures.

 Fomalhaut and Ribbon can be found in the Crossfield section, which is
 North of Save Crystal, but only if you equip Diamond Armlet, and the
 treasure is random.

 Venetian Shield is located in Crossfield as well, the treasure is around
 North-West, near the windmill No.7. Equip Diamond Armlet.

 Castellanos can be found either Crossfield (North from Save Crystal)
 or The Terraced Bank (South from Save Crystal). Equip Diamond Armlet.

 Another Fomalhaut is located at North-East section, which is The Northsward,
 equip Diamond Armlet and find it around the middle West area of the section.

 Grand Bolts is located at the North-West section, known as Old Elanise Road.
 If you enter from Crossfield, find the second treasure in the middle. Equip
 Diamond Armlet.

 Dragon Whisker can be found in the second section from Balfonheim, you must
 equip Diamond Armlet as well, and the treasure is random too.

 Other than the equipment treasures, you can get lot of gil potions from
 the treasure chests around, actually they are the replacement of equipment
 treasures.

 through this place for the process of finding Chaos esper.

 Beware of some invisible Baknamy enemies, though they don't attack you, but
 they will steal the items dropped by the other enemies. By the way, if you
 want them to be visible, you can cast a Reflect on a character and bounce
 off any spell when you're close to the invisible Bakamy. Once he has got
 damage, he will be visible.

 Lot of traps and each can probably bring a lot of pain, they're near the
 entrance from Salikawood. Recommend use Libra and Float spell on your party
 before exploring the area. A secret shop is selling some rare items, some
 are even not available in any other places.

 As for Zodiac Spear/Strongest Halberd, you can find it only if you didn't
 open some treasure chests in other area which are not suppose to be opened,
  - treasure in front of Old Dalan's place (Downtown/Lowtown).
  - treasure in Rabanastre Palace, right corner which is Elixir.
  - treasures in Nalbina Dungeon where you get back your equipments and map.
  - 16 treasure in Phon Coast.
 All this chests were mentioned in the Walkthrough, you will get this weapon
 here if you had follow the walkthrough useless you purposely open one of
 these treasure chest.

 Check this map for details.

Note:
 To unlock the Site 3 Mines, you have to start the Antlion Mob/Mark mission,
 so that you would receive the Site 3 Key from the client of this hunt. To
 unlock the Site 11 Mines, clear the Antlion hunting, then go to Phon Coast
 Gate Crystal section where known as hunters' camp, the Site 11 Key is around
 the North-West area, near the two men. Really hard to find? Many people still
 asking me the location, here is the location, it's in the hunters' camp,

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/sephiroth_y/Guide/site11key.jpg

 In the area where you found Antlion, there's a random treasure contain the
 Fomalhaut, leave and return this place after hunting down Antlion. If you
 explore the whole mines, you can find a lot of treasure with Knot of Rust,
 these treasures might give you other item when you return this place in the
 different timing, and you might get lot of gils from just a single treasure.
 The strongest monsters of the place start from the Lasche Span, they are
 much more stronger than the monsters before, so prepare your team well.

 The rare monster Bombshell will appear in the Lasche Span, and it could
 drop the best Ninja Sword, Yagyuu Darkblade, make sure you don't miss it.
 If you didn't find Bombshell, exit and re-enter the Lasche Span.

Note:
 Known as Crystal Grande for Japanese version.

 Besides the monsters are tough, the map is even crazier than any other
 places. Since most of the monsters weak against Holy, I recommend find
 some Holy elemental weapon ahead than fighting the monsters here. One
 of the best weapon with Holy element, Excalibur is also located here,
 try to get it before exloring in deep of the area. Hopefully this map
 can helps. If the first link doesn't work, check the second link, but
 it's smaller.

Note:
 The hard point of this place was the quantity of monsters, you will always
 the monsters/enemies in a group. And if you're inside the hall (inner area),
 it's pretty hard to escape once the enemies emerged.

 To get lower level, you need to put certain amount of Black Orb on all
 four altars in the different corner, and the Black Orb can be found from
 the monster who're not in the circle area. When the Black Orb appear, you
 must close to it and examine it like how you get a treasure. However, if
 you leave the Black Orb, it will fly to certain points and will become a
 Massvie Black Orb. The number of Black Orb from the  Massive Black Orb is
 count as the total Black Orbs that you left x3.
   Example, you had left 3 Black Orbs to fly away,
   so the Massive Black Orb will become 6 Black Orbs.

- Check this map for the details of Subterra.
http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_ridorana_subterra.png

 Here is the amount of Black Orb require on the altar (Pedestal of Night).
   B1F - South-West  6, South-East  3, North West  9, North-East 18
   B2F - South-West 18, South-East 15, North West  9, North-East 15
   B3F - South-West 12, South-East 27, North West 21, North-East 15

 As for treasure, there're actually more than the stuff listed above,
 here I just only show the rare and better items:
  - Dragon Whisker at B1F, the West treasure in South-West section.
  - Ultima Blade at B2F, inner of North-East section.
  - Venetian Shield at B2F, North-East section, right from the door.
  - Fomalhaut at B2F, inner South-East section.
  - Lordly Robes at B3F, inner of North-East section.
  - Circlet at B3F, inner of South-West section.
  - Dueling Mask at B3F, South-East section, the East corner.
  - Ribbon at B3F, inner of North-West section.
  ** they're random

 Must prepare Esuna/Esunaga and Remedies to challenge B3F/Abyssal, the
 Zombie Warlocks team up with Necrofiends will be very tough, they could
 send a lot of nasty statuses to all your characters, and they're not easy
 to beat. Try to obtain Ribbon and Excalibur before entering this place.

Note:
 From the Gate Crystal, go North and then East, there's a gate locked the
 depth area.  To unlock it,  you must have at least 1 0 espers and finish
 Mind Flayer Mob/Mark Hunt mission (rank B/IV), then talk to the geomancer
 in Jahara, Land of Garif, and the gate will be unlocked.

 As mentioned by the geomancer, within the depth of Henne Mines, a great
 power lies sleeping, and this power is greater than anything you can imagine.
 Yes,  here  is  the strongest place of the game. Of cause, the strongest area
 hiding a lot of special treasure, check this map for the details.

http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_henne_secret.png

 The path from Feywood has been blocked, you can only unblock it by beating
 the secret Esper inside, Zodiac/Zodiark. Actually no save point in the secret
 areas, the only save point is the Gate Crystal at out there, which is also
 the only save point in the Henne Mines.

Feel the main playthrough has less challenge? Now come to do some side quests,
you will encounter with some monsters even much more stronger than the final
boss in the story. Myself, start exploring the side quests after Pharos At
Ridorana.

You can join as member anytimes before you move on to final stage in the game.
The Clan Headquarter is at the Northern Street in Rabanastre City, before you
can enter it, talk to the bangaa in front will be bought into Clan Headquarter.
Inside there. Talk to the moogle at upstair who named Monblanc to join the
clan. Reasons of joining the clan are:

- Get rewards from Monblanc when your clan rank increase.
- Get rewards from Monblanc after defeating certain bosses.
- Clan shop in Rabanastre Muthru Bazaar section, which sells something that
  you couldn't found from other normal shops. Things that were selling in the
  clan shop will be updated when your clan rank or level was increased.
- Get extra Mob Hunt/Mark Hunt missions from Monblanc.

Anyway, it's related to many other quests, recommanded join the clan. You can
join it anytime, as long as you don't enter to the final stage. You could still
get the same rewards no matter when were you joined the clan.

Here is the list of rewards of clan level and clan shop.

Named Mark Hunt for US version.

To start the Mob Hunt missions, go check on the bulletin board in different
towns, exsample like the inn in Rabanastre City, the inn of Bhujerba Skycity,
the board at Phon Coast and so on. After that you have to speak with the client
of that mission to start it, the location of client will display as exclamation
mark in the map screen. If you forgot, just open up your "Mob List/Hunt" under
"Clan Report/Clan Primer", select the mob which you want to start, then press
"Square" button to check your client's location. Speak with your client after
finishing the mission for reward.

Certain missions below will only exist from Clan Headquarter in Rabanastre,
you must join as Clan Centurio member first. From more detail, read the
"Clan Centurio" section above.

Going through the mob hunt, you will obtain many rare items and best equipment,
also face the most difficult enemies in the game. You can find your mob list
under "Clan Report/Clan Primer" in Party Menu.

For Japanese version, the missions ranked as E, D, C, B, A...,
as opposed to US version, which ranked as I, II, III, IV.....

 Make sure you have three character on your main team, one character works
 for healing and the other two in close combat. The problem is 1000 needles,
 which will be used when it gets close to death, and the chance of missing
 is low, so you better prepare some Phoenix Down for reviving your ally
 unless you have over 1000 HP.

 Probably you need some Eye Drops for curing Blind status or prepare
 Blindna spell in your Gambit if you have learned this magic. Recommend
 fight this mob with three characters above level 10.  Set a character
 with range weapon attack and move this character further from the team
 reason is to avoid from getting damage,  so has a chance to cure and
 heal easier.

 Get some Antidotes and Slow magic, you can buy them from Rabanastre shop.
 Train up your characters over 400 HP and you should be fine. There're some
 other enemies around the Nidhogg, of cause fight them separately with Nidhogg
 for safety. Send Slow to Nidhogg for the first, then follow with Blind status,
 it easy once it has got these statuses.

*You will obtain Great Serpentskin, which has a usage for Barheim Key quest,
 check "7a-3 Back To Barheim Passage" side quest for the details.

 Prepare some Hi-Potions and Gold Needles,  you will need these items for
 this fight.  Kill everything in the North Bank (North-East section), exit
 and return to find them.  Can say they're the toughest hunt of this rank,
 recommend your main team characters are over level 15. When you return to
 this section after clearing the monsters, you will probably see Chickatrice
 alone. If you have Disable spell (buy from Rabanastre), try send it at the
 beginning, if it's missed, exit and re-enter for another try. Needless to
 say, you should defeat them one by one, attack as much as possible before
 the Cluckatrice has detected your location. It's easier when Lamont/Larsa
 is in you team.

 This is a flying target, so range weapon such as bow and gun type weapons
 are useful,  if these are not your main weapon, go earn some LP and learn 
 the range weapons before fighting.  Find this mob after Tomb of Raithwall,
 so you should have Belias esper and Mist Knack/Quickening skills. Or if you
 like to use spell is fine, be sure don't use the Aero spell. Slow and Blind
 can be effective to this mob as well, try get it into all these negative
 statuses at the beginning.

 First you have to kill all monsters here, then leave and return to the
 same section only it will show up. If you have got Dispel, send it to him
 at the beginning. Later, send him Slow and Blind as well, or you can also
 try to Immobilize him and use range weapon to attack before he can move.
 Actually many tactics can be used for this mob since many bad statuses
 do work on him, just take some time to finish his long life bar.

 This mob will not appear until you near it. Just run to Starfall Field at
 South-West of Giza Plains, close to the bridge and it will jump up from the
 river. Since the first rain is your way to Jahara, and Flametongue sword is
 selling there, so if you want easy win, buy it from the Jahara and back here
 with this weapon. If you successfully sent Blind, Silence and Slow to this
 mob, you should have no problem to defeat it. Or you can summon Belias to
 fight since it's weak against fire.

 Doom and Stop might be sent from this mob, prepare some Chronos Tear in
 case of need. As for Doom, you probably kill it before countdown reaches
 to 0. If you like to use Mist Knack/Quickening, be sure you use it earlier
 since this mob would hit your MP away. As for status, you can try Blind and
 Silence, it will use magic attack when it gets close to death.

 This mob only appear during the sand storm. Lot of HP but not that tough,
 the problem is Ring Wyrm can restore its HP, so even if it couldn't beat
 your team easily, but you still need to have enough power to kill it as
 well. Recommend fight this mob when your main team characters are above
 level 30. First of all, kill off the enemies around, just to avoid them
 from bothering this long battle. Since Ring Wyrm mostly use its normal
 attack, and seems to focus on one target normally, so other characters
 can support and heal, also means Blind works well for your advantage,
 cast Protect spell on your characters as well.

 Must prepare Esuna white magic and Haste is recommended as well. Set Gambit
 for curing negative statuses with Esuna, also prepare Echo Herbs to cure the
 healer in case if he/she got Silence. There's a dangerous move from this mob
 when it's low HP, Balance. This spell deals damage according to the different
 of caster's max HP and remaining HP, let say if it cast Balance when it left
 2559 HP, and its max HP is 22559, so the result would be 20000 damage! And
 the amount of damage send to all targets in the area. Either you have to use
 Mist Knack/Quickening to finish it off before it casts Balance, or sacrifice
 a character to close combat, and other two characters stay in a distance with
 range weapon attack, so the Balance would on damage on the close combat ally.
 Make sure to revive as soon as the Balance has been casted.

 Recommended level is not actually for this mob, but the enemies around.
 As mentioned, only pop out when you get close to it, and it's hiding in
 the middle junction of the section, probably you're busy on fighting with
 other enemies when it shown. It will keep on running, if you missed tracking
 this mob or lost it, exit and re-enter this section and find it at the same
 point. It's better you clear the enemies around, so you can chase it easier.

 You must learn more support spells like Haste, Esuna, Curaja and more, of
 cause better you have all of them, the most important is Dispel white magic.
 Without Esuna, you have to get some Remedies to cure some negative statuses
 especially Stop (can be cured with Chronos Tear).  Head to the Phase 1 Dig,
 you should spot it around the South of this part when your leader character
 is full MP, kill all monsters around before trigger out the fight with this
 mob. Dispel him when the support spells were build. Once Mindflayer has taken
 enough of damage, he will restore HP with lot of positive statuses, now Dispel
 him again before cnotinue the fight. Another way is send Berserk and Blind to
 this mob, so it will only keep on missing on its attack, and you can defeat
 it without worrying much.

 To reach this place, you have to defeat King Bomb. After that, train until
 you're able to handle the monsters behind King Bomb, so you should have not
 problem with this mob. When you reached this section, nothing is here except
 Chocobos, just leave them since they wouldn't disturb your fight. Build the
 support statuses on you team. Before this mob spotted you, cast Dispel on it
 initially, then try Dusable it as well. Don't use the weapon with elemental
 strike except Icebrand sword. Keep attack with normal weapon, with Haste on
 supports,  you will end this fight in a short while. Sometimes Braegh will
 send you Berserk status, I don't get what's the meaning, but it's better if
 Braegh really does it.

 No bad at both normal and magic/skill attacks, since it uses normal attack
 mostly of the time, and Silence doesn't seems to work, just send it a Blind
 after your Dispel at the beginning. Equip Holy Rod or Holy Lance to fight,
 they can be found in the treasure from Crystal Grande/The Great Crystal and
 Pharos at Ridorana (already mentioned in the Walkthrough). If you have got
 the Excalibur, this fight will be very short.

 The waterway path will change from time to time, but you could get there
 no matter how it was. If you have no idea to cross through this little maze,
 back here later and hopefully it changes to be easier.

 Blind plus Berserk trick works on this mob as well, or you need to be ready
 for some stronge magics and bad statuses like Slow, Blind and Poison. Trust
 you have cleared Wyvern Lord (rank D/II) mission, and hope you didn't sell
 the Shell Shield, now is the good time to show it. If you really don't like
 the shield, just equip it when White Mousse readies to use magic, you will
 be only taken half of the magic damage. Always recast Haste when anyone ally
 got the Slow, otherwise you would lost alot of chances. And you may try
 Flametongue sword since it weaks on Fire.

 After all, back to your client for a useful key item, Sluice Gate Key.

 Just enter from Dalmasca Westersand. First section, defeat all enemies
 and go South until the sunlight area (alot of light). If Marilith didn't
 show, wait there for awhile, then run around the area, make sure you don't
 leave the section while running around. Return to the sunlight area and get
 ready to fight, make sure you've killed all monsters. But I have a test for
 you before the fight, if you couldn't kill the Slime within 3 turns, forget
 about fighting with Marilith.

 Cast all useful support spells that you have before luring out Marilith.
 Send Blind and Slow to Marilith as soon as you spot it, you need a few try
 to reach your succession. If you have got Nihopalaoa accessory, just equip
 and throw a Remedy or Eye Drops to it, change back your accessory was using
 afterwards.  Not too hard since Marilith seems to focus on one target, keep
 on healing the character who's spotted by Marilith, heal him/her when HP down
 to 60%, because Marilith will always hit in a combo even with Blind, and it's
 ignore evasion. Do remember using item is always faster then casting spells,
 so prepare some X-Potions instead of using Curaga.

 Require Barheim Key before to return. Read "Back to Barheim Passage" section
 for more details. Holy Lance and Holy Rod are recommended weapon, Excalibur
 is much better. Telekinesis skill/technick is recommended as well, since you
 can handle the monsters here, you should had enough strength to visit Nabudis.
 Buy Telekinesis from the Necrohol of Nabudis secret shop after the event in
 Giruvegan and Crystal Grande/The Great Crystal. Learn and set it to attack
 the flying foes, otherwise, you need to spend MP on the magic, which is the
 slower way to defeat this mob. Prepare Rubber Suit for the undead enemies
 there,  if you got the Zodiac Escutcheon shield is much better since they
 immune to Thunder.

 Back to the West Annex section, take down the Dead Bones and Spectars whoever
 spawn. By using the Holy Lance, Holy Rod or Excalibur, and with Rubber Suit
 or Zodiac Escutcheon you should be fine. Recast Haste/Hastega, Bubble on the
 way, forward slowly until you get to Bloodwing. Attack it with Telekinesis
 or any stronger magic you have, equip range weapon for the character without
 Telekinesis of best magic, be sure you don't fight it with the Dead Bones and
 Spectars together.

 Something like the powered version of White Mousse. Before searching for
 this mob, prepare Smelling Salts, Gold Needles and Eye Drops. Recommend
 Argyle Armlet or Goggle Mask for preventing Blind status on your close
 combat ally since this mob like to send you Blind. For additional stuff,
 buy the Ardor black magic from the Barheim Passage shop after Ridorana
 event.

 This mob likes to see a team with only female characters, so change your
 team to be Fran, Ashe and Penelo BEFORE enter to this section, it's next to
 the section where you fought White Mousse. If the female characters are not
 your strongest team, just change it back after spawing. Set Gambit to heal
 Confuse status and put it on the top slot. Dispel Orthros as soon as you've
 done, make sure you have removed its Bravery. Equip Shell Shield to reduce
 its magic damage, change back your best equipment afterwards. If you have
 learned Ardor, send it to this mob randomly for more damage.

 Must have learned some non-elemental magic like Flare, Scourge... before
 finding this mob, or you will be disappointed during near end of the battle.
 Raise your main team HP up to 3000, that is mean you need to get some good
 equipments which is increase your Max HP or active more "Max HP+" slots on
 the Licenses Board. Equip Bubble Belt or use Bubble magic for more advantage.
 Cast Hastega repeatedly on your ally as well as the NPC who helps to support.
 Trickster will change its elemental weakness once you;ve hit it correctly, so
 don't bother to finding its weakness. Keep on your attack till Trickster's HP
 bar is down to around 15% HP, you can only damage it with non-elemental magic
 as mentioned above, (Flare, Scourge...).

 You will get Site 3 Key for this mob, so now you can reach to South-West
 section of the mines. Suggest to have Death magic which is selling in the
 shop at Rabanastre after Bur Omisace events. If you had already get passed
 Ridorana, buy a Zwill Crossblade in Balhonheim for your attacker for more
 advantages since it has Wind strike.

 Antlion is in the end of Site 9, protecting by some Killer Mantises, don't
 fight them in once. Cast all support spells on your team and lure out the
 Killer Mantis to fight one after another, or use the Death magic to kill it
 instantly, but probably will miss some, have a few more try to get it down.
 Antlion has good attack power, be sure you have Protect status on the ally
 who was to close combat. Keep a character at the bak for casting Curaja and
 other support spells, Gambit set to Ally: HP < 70% = Curaja when Antlion is
 near death. Use a Bucchus's Wine for your attacker to finish it faster.

 Find this mob after Pharos at Ridorana event for highering your team level.
 Cast all support spell before triggering Vyraal's detection. The NPC viera
 will support you during the fight, so just keep her alive for more benefits.
 Blind and Silence both work well. Once you've successfully sent them to this
 mob, you don't need to worry much, only thing is the special fireball attack
 which deals large fire damage on a target, however, you can reduce the fire
 damage by using Flame Shield. Since wind elemental deal higher damage to this
 mob, so Zwill Crossblade is recommended.

 Recommend find this mob after Pharos at Ridorana, your level should be ok.
 Clear Antlion (rank A/V) mission if you don't have a Bubble Belt, get one
 from you client as reward. Better you have all other useful magics such as
 Bubble, Hastega, Bravery and more prepared. For the black magic, I suggest
 Scourage, which can be found in the Balfonheim shop after Pharos at Ridorana.

 Once you've done, find the Zertinan Caverns in Ogir-Yensa/ Central Junction,
 and you will get to Zertinan Caverns/ Canopy of Clay.  Just go to the other
 exit of the section will reach to Nam-Yensa Sandsea, and there is the place
 to find this mob.  You opponents are Ba'Gamnon, Bwagi, Gijuk and Rinok, who
 were found in the Lhusu Mines earlier of the game,  and the Belito's stats
 shown above is actually the stats of Ba'Gamnon. Only two of them shown at
 the beginning, and the other two of them will join the battle after a short
 while. You can attack the visible enemies at the start, since Ba'Gamnon has
 the most HP here, just leave him for a moment, later cope all them in once
 with Dispelga when the other two has shown.  Afterwards, cast a Blindga on
 the group with Ba'Gamnon, Bwagi and Rinok, probably Gijuk will stay at the
 side and keep on using magic to damage your team, so just send him a Silence.
 Later on, cast Scourage to damage all of them in once and Sap status will be
 sent to them who hit by Scourage. Focus to defeat one of them after sending
 the negative statuses, cast Curaja when due, recommend heal when ally's HP
 down to 60%. Sometimes you do have to cure Silenca since you might get it
 from their attack.

 You would face other monsters before you found this mob, needless to say,
 you should finish off the monsters around before going for your target.
 Bubble on your frontline ally, and don't bother on sending bad statuses
 to this mob since he immunes many of them, just Dispel Piscodaemon if he
 has any statuses supporting him, and make sure to cast Haste or Hastega to
 any ally Gambit set, you should recast this status for the entire battle.
 Later, Piscodaemon will restore his HP with lot of support statuses, now
 Dispel him again and continue your attacks. Do the same thing again to
 reduce his HP. If you have Bravery support or Brave Suit, you could kill
 this mob very fast, only make sure that you have a healer support.

 Only appears in the cloudy season,  if you have problem to find cloudy,
 I got a tactic for you. Teleport to Tchita Uplands, move all the way to
 East, the path to Cerobi Steppe should be open once you got to this place
 later, then return to Tchita Uplands from Cerobi Steppe, the weather will
 become cloudy.

 Try adjust your character's level not at even number (ex: 40, 42, 44..)
 Prepare Esuna or items for Petrify and Sleep, better you have Nihopalaoa
 accessory, equip it and use throw a Remedy to this mob to send all possible
 statuses in once. If not, just spend a few turns to send him Blind and Slow,
 of cause, Dispel him at the first before you send these statuses. Try on to
 close combat with this mob, reason is to avoid him from using Fireball, he'll
 miss alot since he has Blind status. Dispel him again when he has casted the
 Greater Barrier, which is to build Protect and Shell on his own. You need to
 spend most time on the late part, because of Lindwym will highly increase his
 defense power when he gets to death, but doesn't seems to increase his attack
 power, so just keep on going with you tactic till it goes down.

 Go South from Gate Crystal to The Slumbermead, then go through the hidden
 path around North-West of the area. Have some training before going to this
 section. Roblon himself isn't that strong, the problem is Dead Bones enemies
 spawning around, train your characters till you're able to handle all this
 Dead Bones that're spawning around Roblon area. Use Holy Lance or Holy Rod
 weapon to kill them faster, have Excalibur is much more easier. Clear all
 Dead Bones that're spawned around before triggering the fight with Roblon.

 Roblon use magic attack more than normal attack, and Silence doesn't work
 on him, so you need to have the equipments to increase Magic Resist point,
 or keep on changing equipments against his different magic uses, like equip
 Flame Shield when Roblon readies Fira, equip Rubber Suit when Roblon readies
 Thundara and so on. Also try to send Slow status to Roblon at the beginning.
 Some more Dead Bones might spawn again during the fight, recommend kill off
 the Dead Bones before continue the fight.

 This mob has good attack power, fortunately Blind status works. Send him
 Blind after Dispeling his support status, but you might probably get a few
 attack before you can successfully hit the Blind to him. Trust you've beaten
 Antlion mob (rank A/V), so equip the Bubble Belt for the character who use
 to be close combat with Overlord. Once he got Blind, send Silence to stop
 him from using magic later, and can take him down safely.

 I suggest get there from Nabreus Deadlands, so you don't need to face
 much tough monsters in Nabudis before you can spot this mob, however,
 you still need to face some monsters on the way from Nabreus Deadlands.
 Check this map, as displayed "Goliaty" is the location.

http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_nabudis.png

 Recommend train up your main team to level 50 or above, get some stronger
 equipments like Magepower Shishak,  Circlet,  Golden Skullcap or whatever
 better armors. As for weapon, you can try the Ninja Sword since it's weak
 on Dark. Don't bother with sending him the negative status, he immunes lot
 of them, or you can try Slow if you want. This mob will cast magic at the
 start, so you can do a Reflectga on your team before it detects you. Make
 sure to have Opal Ring on your healer, who works as Hastega, Curaja, Arise
 caster (Bravery and Faith is optional). For those without Opal Ring, cast
 Darkja on your own team before the Reflect status gone, so Goliath will be
 damaged by triple Darkja. Keep on going until it goes for normal attack,
 now you should have to cast Protectga on your team, of cause recast other
 support spells when anyone of them gone.

 Check this map too, this mob will only appear when two of your characters
 within lower HP/Critical status.

http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_nabudis.png

 Weak against Holy, so prepare the weapons with Holy strike for this. Clear
 all enemies around this area before you take your allies down to Critical
 status, heal as soon as possible when Deathscythe appear. Another way is
 get you non-active characters (those are not your main team) to Critical
 status, switch back to your main team to fight when Deathscythe appear.

 Prepare some Chronos Tears or Remedies, Power Armlet since you might get
 Stop status randomly. Send Blind ahead and following Silence to this mob,
 then you can Decoy you character with more HP. If you have got Nihopalaoa,
 just equip it and use a Remedy to him instead of sending negative statuses
 one by one. Later on, he might reduce your character's MP to 0, immediately
 use Charge technick if you need to use MP, or spend the MP to summon Esper
 or perform Mist Knack/Quickening to finish him faster before you lost all

 Go through the hidden path from Save Crystal, the path won't display
 in the map, and the falling sands covering half of it.

 This is a creature like Behemoth, strong at attack and defence, with lot
 of HP like a bull, so basically you had to boost up your HP and defense
 point for close combat,  and equip shield is recommended. Dispel him at
 the start, then give this mob a Blind status, you should be fine for the
 rest of the  battle, be sure recast Blind to him when it's gone. Of cause,
 set Gambit to cast Hastega and Curaja to support your team anytime.

 Have a Zwill Crossblade will be easier. Thought this mob with some Malboros
 around are weak against Wind, but I noticed the Oil + Ardor trick is still
 better to be used. Ensure you have Ardor black magic with all character on
 your main team, then Reflectga and Oil, Nihopalaoa is better since you can
 send Oil instantly by using this accessory. Have a healer with range weapon
 just to prepare for curing bad statuses in case of need.

 As mentioned, this mob stay with some Malboros, needless to say, you should
 defeat the Malboros one by one. Wild Malboro know to cast Renew randomly, so
 it's pretty hard to kill it before taken down the other Malboros. Dispel if
 they had positive status, have a Zwill Crossblade with support spells like
 Bravery and Haste, you should be fine. Down to only Wild Malboro, you can
 reduce its HP some more since it doesn't have much dangerous moves at the
 beginning. When it's down to 80% HP, build the Reflection on your team and
 send Oil to Wild Malboro, using Remedy to Wild Malboro with Nihopalaoa equip
 is recommended. Once it has got the Oil, cast Ardor on your own team, with
 the Reflect status, the Ardor will be bounced off the Wild Malboro.

 On my fight, I did 9999 damage for each hit of Ardor, and each Ardor does
 triple damage caused of three Reflections, each turn with three characters
 to cast Ardor, so the total damage will become (9999 x3) x3 =  89991. Even
 if your magic power isn't that stronge, but with the Oil status on this mob,
 your Ardor can still be very powerful. Just in case if you need to cast Esuna
 or other support spell, be sure you equip Opal Ring to the caster. Actually
 you don't even need to heal much if you have Bubble Belt equiped.

 If you found this mob at B1F Penumbra or B2F Umbra, it will show with
 306559 HP. If you found it at B3F Abyssal, it has only 166559 HP, but
 it has triple defense point. Recommend not to fight it at B3F.

 Before finding this mob, make sure you can handle the enemies in Subterra,
 if you failed this test, forgot about fighting with this mob. Also explore
 some more in the Subterra for some better equipments and get higher level.
 Ixion is weak on Holy, absorb Dark, but still likely to use Thunder though
 it's not belonged to Thunder/Lightning element. To make this battle easy,
 go find the Rubber Suit light armor or Zodiac Escutcheon shield, is better
 you get both of them. For weapon, find Excalibur from The Great Crystal,
 it deals great damage on this mob, since you can only have one Excalibur,
 so better you have more other stronger weapons like Deathbringer sword,
 Golden Axe, Zodiac Spear, Ultima Blade, and other 'easy found' ultimate
 weapons. make sure some Echo Herbs and Alarm Clocks in your inventory.
 Have a Gambit slot for  'Ally: Any/status=Sleep -> Alarm Clock'  set to
 everyone, so you don't need to worry of the Sleepga from Ixion which is
 very annoying.

 When the Interior area of any floor in Subterra has nothing (no enemies),
 that's mean Ixion is coming out, but sometimes it will take 1 minute or
 even more to appear, sometimes it just show a few second after running
 around the Interior area, it was random. Dispel it as soon as it's shown,
 equip Nihopalaoa and use Remedy to Ixion, the main statuses are actually
 Silence and Slow. Afterwards, make sure the Zodiac Esctcheon shield and
 the Rubber Suit are equiped to block take on its Thunder striking attack.
 Decoy the character with Zodiac Escutcheon of Rubber Suit, and Ixion will
 keep striking with no damage on this character.

 Recommend keep your healer away from the fight, reason is to use Esunaga
 to cure your allies from Curse. Another thing Ixion will hit your MP away
 later, either use Charge technick or Ether to restore some if necessary,
 trust you had already activated the MP gain by attack ability slot on the
 License Board you can just keep on attacking to get back some MP, meanwhile,
 use X-Potion to cure instead of white magics. Be sure you use the item and
 technique on the right timing, there's nothing hard to defeat this mob.
 Keep it Silence to avoid it from using Sleepga and Silencega.

 I wonder why this mob listed as rank S/VI,  he's actually much stronger
 than many other ranked H/VII mobs. I recommend your main team characters
 are all over 65 level since I fought it at 64-65 level team is still tough.
 So leave this mob for a moment, go for other rank H/VII mobs before this.
 
== Preparatories ==

   Here are some recommended equipments:
     Excalibur, Masamune, Zodiac Spear, Whale Whisker, Golden Axe,
     Durandal, Fomalhaut, Perseus Bow/Artemis Bow, Valcano...
     Zodiac Esctcheon, Demon Shield, White Mask, Black Mask, Dueling Mask,
     Circlet, Golden Skullcap, Genji Helm, Brave Suit, Lordly Robes...
     Nihopalaoa, Sage's Ring, Bubble Belt, Ribbon, Genji Gloves...

   Well, almost all are the best equipments in the game, seriously you need
   most of them for this fight, but I'm not telling you to get all of them,
   just try to get as much as possible. However, most of them can be found
   in the Subterra, have some exercises in  Subterra  for these equipment,
   and you don't need to equip Diamond Armlet to obtain them.

 - Check this map for the details of Subterra:
http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_ridorana_subterra.png

   For Excalibur, you can find it in the Crystal Grande/The Great Crystal, read
   the "11. Weapons" section for details. For Masamune, you can either trade it
   or clear the Gilgamesh rank H/VII mob, and it will become the reward of this
   mission. Also make sure you  steal  all Genji equipment  from Gilgamesh mob.
   As for magics and technick/skills, Curaja, Hastega, Esunaga, Arise, Bubble,
   Charge, Telekinesis are most important, make sure you have all them.

   Needless to say, you should learn all abilities slots on the top part
   of the Licenses Board to get your character to become stronger.

== Unlocking Subterra ===

   Return to Pharos at Ridorana, take the Dais of Ascendence at 1F to
   underground (B1F, Penumbra). Collect enough Black Orbs/Pearls by killing
   monsters and fill it to the Altars at four different corner to get to
   lower floors. Here is the require orbs of each floor.
     B1F - South-West  6, South-East  3, North West  9, North-East 18
     B2F - South-West 18, South-East 15, North West  9, North-East 15
     B3F - South-West 12, South-East 27, North West 21, North-East 15
     B4F - Battle~!

   Before you can reach B4F/Unknown, you have to defeat Phoenix optional boss
   at North of B1F/Penumbra. You can check Phoenix under "9. Optional Bosses"
   section for some details. Anyway, Dispel Phoenix at the beginning of the
   battle, then equip Nihopalaoa and use a Remedy to Phoenix, that's all you
   need to do, after this you can defeat it easily.

== The main target ==
 
 If you look carefully on the bill, you can actually see there's more than
 Shadowseer on the portrait, and the other opponents are Pandaemonium, Slyt,
 Fenrir and Phoenix, which are also the elite enemies in the Pharos. During
 the battle, all these Pharos elites will be summoned out one after one, no
 other to skip the fights, you have to defeat all of them again before you
 can defeat Shadowseer.

 At the beginning, Dispel Shadowseer before attack. He will probably cast
 Shinning Ray or Darkness to attack, just equip White Mask or Sage's Ring
 to absorb Shinning Ray and Black Mask or Demon Shield to absorb Darkness.
 When Shadowseer down to 75% HP, he will be invincible and start summoning
 the bosses that you fought before. Start from know, Shadowseer will also
 use many many annoying moves to attack you team. Nothing you can do other
 than defeat all four bosses that were summoned by Shadowseer.

 My Gambit setup for this fight (only show the important Gambits):
 ----------------------------------------
 | Character 1:  Fran                   | As mentioned before, you have to face
 |  1. Ally: Any       = Phoenix Down   | four bosses beside Shadowseer, so the
 |  2. Ally: Any       = Smelling Salts | Gambit setup here  is still has some 
 |  3. Self: MP < 10%  = Charge         | flaws,  so some actions you actually
 |  4. Ally: HP < 50%  = Curaja         | have to  use it manually  since the
 |  5. Ally: Any       = Bubble         | different strategy needed to be used
 |  6. Foe : flying    = Telekinesis    | against different boss.
 |  7. Foe : lowest HP = Attack         |
 |                                      | Do remember to cast Dispel to each
 | Character 2:  Ashe                   | of the bosses as soon as it has been
 |  1. Ally: Any       = Arise          | summoned, then following by Remedy
 |  2. Ally: Any       = Smelling Salts | with Nihopalaoa accessory equip.
 |  3. Self: MP < 10%  = Charge         |
 |  4. Ally: HP < 50%  = Curaja         | Make sure your healer has equiped
 |  5. Ally: Any       = Bubble         | Ribbon when Shadowseer readies the
 |  6. Ally: Any       = Hastega        | Curse.  You can actually cure your
 |  7. Ally: Any       = Eye Drops      | ally instantly right after they're
 |  8. Foe : flying    = Telekinesis    | cursed,  just cast Esunaga to your
 |  9. Foe : lowest HP = Attack         | ally when the Curse is almost sent,
 |                                      | means you have  to  calculate  the
 | Character 3:  Penelo (healer)        | timing. If you don't have  Ribbon,
 |  1. Ally: Any       = Arise          | make sure you healer is not in the
 |  2. Ally: HP < 20%  = X-Potion       | range of Curse, or else you will
 |  3. Ally: Any       = Esunaga        | get many bad statuses as bad as
 |  4. Ally: Any       = Remedy         | getting hit by allies (Confuse).
 |  5. Self: MP < 10%  = Charge         |
 |  6. Ally: Any       = Bubble         | Fenrir is a bit tough, I recommend
 |  7. Ally: HP < 60%  = Curaja         | equip a shield.  Since Sleep does
 |  8. Foe : flying    = Telekinesis    | work on Fenrir,  try only use non-
 |  9. Foe : lowest HP = Attack         | elemental magics to him after using
 ---------------------------------------- Remedy + Nihopalaoa trick.

 Another problem is Invert, which is to switch between you HP and MP from
 Shadowseer. He will probably use this after he has drained your MP, so once
 you get switched, your HP will be reduced to a few or even death. For safety
 a Gambit slot for X-Potion using is no a bad idea. Once you've successfully
 heal the switched character, he/she will be full of MP uses, cast Renew if
 you have it, probably your team has not much HP left when you get to this
 situation, Curaja instead if you don't have Renew.

 After defeating all bosses, Shadowseer seems has raised his stats, when he
 gets lesser HP, his defense power is even stronger, probably you can't deal
 over 1000 damage to him. Since now the Shadowseer is the only opponent left,
 plus Berserk and Bravery to your main attacker, and better you have Excalibur
 to end the battle faster, just make sure you always have a healer with range
 weapon to support.

 If you got a Ribbon, this battle would become easy, so try get a Ribbon
 from the treasure in Cerobi Steppe/ Crossfield section with Diamond Armlet
 equip since there's the easier place. For more details of Ribbon, please
 read the "13. Accessories" section. Of cause you can still beat this mob
 without Ribbon, all you need is just a little battle tactic.

 Recommend your main team characters are level 45 or above, and learn all
 Lore of Remedy in the Licenses, also Esunaga is recommended too. Once you
 enter the Salikawood, don't attack anything before you see Carrot. A viera
 NPC will come for helps during the fight. Likewise, cast all support spells
 on you team before attacking Carrot.  The only difficult period is during
 Carrot in Critical status, her Putrid Breath can say is 100% accurated hit
 on the nearer targets, unlikely she will always miss the Putrid Breath at
 the beginning of the battle. Do remember the Putrid Breath sends many nasty
 statuses until you can't even take control of your characters, you have to
 avoid this happen.  What you can do is  always keep a character away from
 Carrot especially when she's in the Critical status, leave other characters
 to close combat. Once you see Carrot is readies Putrid Breath, cast Esunaga
 for the close combat characters since the breath can only hit on the nearer
 targets, the bad statuses will be cured instantly if you did it with the good
 timing, use Remedy instead if you missed casting Esunaga. Keep on doing this
 until you taken down this mob.

 You have to find your client serveral times, talk to them everytime you
 found them in the different Aerodrome/Airship Terminal for more informations.
 Take the airship after each meeting with the client, when Deathgaze appears,
 you will get a different scene on the airship. Anyway, I found this mob at
 the flight from Archades to Rabanastre. Once it's shown, you must defeat it
 to leave the airship, so be prepared before taking the flight.

 Recommended level is 50-55, depends on your equipments. At the beginning,
 Deathgaze will put up the physical barrier, which means immune to normal
 attack,  so you don't need to use Bravery,  Berserk and such thing for a
 moment. The important statuses for the beginning are Haste, Faith, Regen
 and Protect, make sure you done these spells before triggering Deathgaze's
 detection. Dispel Deathgaze at the first turn, attack it with the strongest
 magic that you have, of cause heal your allies when necessary. Beware of
 its Crushing Fangs which might send Death on you character, Arise the KO
 character if this happened. For its Fireball, you can use Flame Shield to
 reduce the damage. Later Deathgaze will change its physical barrier to be
 magic barrier. Now start using Bravery instead of Faith status.

 Continue attack until Deathgaze down to Critical status, and it will heal
 itself, nevermind, just give it a chance, repeat the same things to reduce
 its HP until it puts Reverse on his own. After this stupid move, just send
 it Curaga or Curaja before its Reverse status gone. The Reverse will gone
 after a short while, be sure not to attack it during the Reverse status
 period. Deathgaze might rebuild the physical barrier instead of its magic
 barrier, so attack it with either normal attack of magic according to its
 status until it goes down.

 Must clear Antlion (rank A/V) mission. Back to Phon Coast Gate Crystal
 area, go North-West can see two men there, check beside the sitting man
 can find Site 11 Key. With the key only you're able to start this mission.

-Here is the key location:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/sephiroth_y/Guide/site11key.jpg

 This mob isn't that durable target (look at his HP), the difficulty is on
 his strength, that's mean he has great power stats for both normal attack
 and magic power.  Another thing is no Save Crystal around this place and
 the monsters are quite tough, you should be able to handle these monsters
 (Killer Mantis, Vampyr...) before going for this mob.  Hopefully you have
 done activating all 'HP+',  'Swiftness' (action time shorthen) abilities
 slots on the License Board,  also try to have two Bubble Belts and learn
 Bubble arcane magic and Bravery green magic. Of cause, other common spells
 like Hastega, Esuna, Curaja and more should be prepared as well.

 Needless to say, cast all support spells on your team before attacking.
 Always make sure your characters have Haste and Bubble status, have a
 Gambit to heal your ally at 50% HP, it's better heal at 60% HP if you
 have Sage's Ring to reduce MP cost  or you have enough MP to be spent.
 Send a character to close combat, the rest for support and cure. At the
 beginning has not much problem, but when Diabolos down to around 35% HP,
 his stats seem to be raised, and during Critical status is even stronger.
 Start using Berserk on your attack when Diabolos down to 40% HP, be sure
 Bravery, Regen, Protect and Haste are on the attacker as well. Reason to
 do so is to take down this mob faster before he has more chances to send
 you some massive damage. If you're worrying Diabolos attack other then
 your attacker/berserker, just cast a Decoy on him/her so you could only
 focus on your healing action. With one or two characters to only attack
 in a distance, you should be able the heal some bad statuses well.

 Consider one of the top rank attacker if compare to other mobs, it deals
 tons of damage with its physical hit and special skills, also you might
 get Death attack from his special skill. Make sure you had good shield
 and armor to face this mob, as for the Death attack, nothing else other
 than base on your luck, also make sure you have Arise Gambit set or many
 Phoenix Down to revive your ally in case of need.

 Since you can stay a chance to block it, so find some shield with better
 evasion for close combat, learn all 'Shield Block' ability slots on the
 License Board.  Recommended shields are Demon Shield, Zodiac Escutcheon
 and Ensanguined Shield.  The easy way to get Demon Shield is the reward
 of Diabolos hunt, or you can buy it from Necrohol of Nabudis secret shop
 after Giruvegan.  Get Zodiac Escutcheon in Barheim Passage treasure, get
 Ensanguined Shield in Feywood or Henne Mines secret area.  Of cause there
 are few more way to obtain these shields, read "12. Shield & Armor" section
 for all details.

 If you have Ensanguined Shield, equip on the attacker and cast a Decoy on
 him/her.  Since this shield has some bad statuses, so don't depend much on
 this character as you main attacker. Send another character with good shield
 to close combat too, support and heal by using your healer behind, and equip
 a good range weapon for your healer as well.  Bubble all characters anytime,
 so even if Pylraster attack the character without Ensanguined Shield, he/she
 would able to survive after getting a hit. You can try cast Slow to this mob,
 but probably will miss a few turn, better have Nihoparaoa equip and throw a
 Remedy to Pylraster instantly inflict Slow to it, be sure Dispel initially
 when it has support status builded.

 Before you can get to Site 7, back to Phon Coast Gate Crystal section,
 take the Site 11 key that's near the two men around North-West. And you
 must clear Antlion Mob Hunt, probably you have done it.

 Here is the point:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/sephiroth_y/Guide/site11key.jpg

 First fight is easy, something like rank A/V mob level. Dispel your
 opponents at the beginning, and you can send Slow to Gilgamesh. Focus
 to defeat Enkidu for first, then Gilgamesh. Again, be sure you steal
 the Genji equipments.

 Second fight, Gilgamesh will use the level status skills, the bad statuses
 from these skills can only affect certain level. And the skills are:
 - Lv 4 Break,   only affects to the multiple level of 4
 - Lv 3 Disable, only affects to the multiple level of 3
 - Lv 2 Sleepga, only affects to the multiple level of 2
 So if your characters are at level 53, 55, 59, 61, 65... you don't need
 to worry about them. You can use the Firefly (Gain EXP 0) to maintance
 your characters' level.

 Set Gambit to heal allies at 50% HP, needless to say, Hastega, Bubble and
 other useful support spells should be done as well. Dispel him and Enkidu
 at the beginning, take down Enkidu before going for Gilgamesh. When Enkidu
 in Critical status, its evasion will be highly increased. Now I recommend
 use gun type weapon to finish it off faster since gun ignore evasion. If
 guns are not your best weapon, change it after defeating Enkidu. Have a
 Decoy on the character with highest HP while fight with Gilgamesh.

 Later when he shows the Sword of Legend, cast Dispel immediately before
 his Monarch Sword special move, otherwise you have to face him with many
 support statuese and Perfect Defense on his side for a period. When he
 performs the second  Monarch Sword,  prepare to continue your attacks.
 Gilgamesh will increase his combo rate automatically when Critical. If
 you're using Decoy tactic, cast  Reverse  on the Decoyed character, so
 Gilgamesh will heal your character with serveral attacks, otherwise you
 need to prepare Arise or Phoenix Down. Just to remind you, steal the
 Genji Helm and Genji Armor!

 After all, he left his Sword of Legend there, have a look if you like it,
 but you can't obtain it for now. Need to know more about his weapons?

 This mob will only show up during then snowstorm, actually there's a route
 to keep the snowstorm from Bur Omisace to Silverflow's End to find Fafnir.
 Teleport to Bur Omisace, then out to the Paramina Rift ...
 -> Freezing Gorge -> Head of the Silverflow -> Icebound Flow
 -> Karydine Glacier -> Silverflow's End

 There's an part of this area Fafnir is not able to reach, if you stay there
 and use range weapon, Telekinesis or magic, you're almost to own the whole
 battle,  only thing to worry is the Shock from Fafnir which can be bounced
 back by Reflect status. If you go for the South-East part you can actually
 see some rocks are there, Fafnir couldn't get pass the area behind the rocks,
 so all you need to do is stay behind the rocks and attack it in a distance.
 Cast Reflectga on your team and equip Opal Ring for your healer, that's all
 for this tactic. By the time,  cast the strongest spell like Scathe, Ardor
 on your team before the Reflect status gone, you will notice even if Fafnir
 is the only target, but you can deal three times damage by using this trick.

 - And the point that Fafnir not able to reach is here (pic):
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/sephiroth_y/Guide/fafnir.jpg

 If you insist of fighting in the fair rules, you should prepare many things.
 Fafnir is much more stronger than many other mobs that you fought, you should
 gain higher strength and better equipments for this fight. Recommended level
 at 55 or above, learn all capacities on the upper part of Licenses Board if
 possible.  Prepare Chronos Tear, Alarm Clock and Echo Herbs for curing some
 negative statuses which would be sent by Fafnir.  For equipments, I suggest
 clear the Ancient Man of Mystery/Gilgamesh (above) for Masamune reward, and
 steal the Genji Gloves from Gilgamesh from the first fight, with these two
 equipments, you can hit more and gain MP faster during the fight of Fafnir.
 (Gilgamesh fight is easy when your characters at certain levels, read above)

 Besides, get all strongest weapons that're possible for you current status.
 Also find two Bubble Belt from the clan shop for the other characters, one
 Nihopalaoa for additional usage. For the magic, use Curaga (if you're going
 to follow this strategy, you don't need Curaja), Decoy and Reverse Arcane
 magic, which can be found from Eruyt Village and the clan shop. Needless to
 say, Hastega and Arise are the must, again, you can buy Arise in Balfonheim
 after Giruvegan event and Hastega from Dalmasca Estersand after Ridorana.

 Ok, this might be a complicated strategy, but I find it useful. If you had
 already know the Reverse + Decoy tactic, just skip this part, I'm going to
 explain it here. Use character 1 as main attack, the other two for support
 the main attack,  set Gambit for Reverse and Decoy for your attacker, and
 make sure put it on the top slot. Use Gambit to heal themself with Curaga
 since Reversed character would gain damage on heal, be sure set the Gambit
 for curing the Stop, Sleep and Silence as well. 
 Example, my Gambit is roughly like this:

 ------------( First Half )-----------  Dispel Fafnir at the start, then equip
 | Character 1: Fran                 |  Nihopalaoa and use a Remedy to Fafnir,
 |  1. Foe: lowest HP = Attack       |  Slow and Sap should be sent to Fafnir.
 |      **the rest are less          |  Now use Character 1 as your attacker,
 |        important for now          | (the one with Genji Gloves and Masamune)
 |                                   |  keep on going Reverse and Decoy your
 | Character 2: Ashe                 |  attacker as well as Bubble. For other
 |  1. Ally: Fran     = Reverse      |  two characters,  equip Bubble Belt so
 |  2. Ally: Any      = Arise        |  you don't need to worry much on casting
 |  3. Ally: Any      = Chronos Tear |  Bubble. If Fafnir readies White Breath,
 |  4. Ally: Any      = Echo Herbs   |  move your leader character to the back
 |  5. Self: HP <50%  = Curaga       |  of it, reason is to avoid this move of
 |  6. Ally: Any      = Hastega      |  cause,  but actually by staying at the
 |  7. Foe :lowest HP = Attack       |  side could evade the White Breath also,
 |                                   |  but sometimes your character will move
 | Character 3: Penelo               |  into the White Breath range, so it's
 |  1. Ally: Fran     = Decoy        |  quite dangerous too, and White Breath
 |  2. Ally: Any      = Arise        |  could send Stop status, but since you
 |  3. Ally: Any      = Echo Herbs   |  have Gambit to cure Stop, it doesn't a
 |  4. Ally: Any      = Alarm Clock  |  big matter at all. The trick of running
 |  5. Self: HP <50%  = Curaga       |  to the back goes to Silencega and the
 |  6. Ally: Any      = Bubble       |  Sleepga as well, just pay attention on
 |  7. Foe :lowest HP = Attack       |  the information bar at top left.
 -------------------------------------  
 ----------( Second Half )------------  For later of the battle, Character 2
 | Character 1: Fran                 |  who is working to Reverse magic will
 |  1. Ally: Ashe     = Reverse      |  run out of MP, and the attacker with
 |  2. Ally: Any      = Arise        |  the Masamune should has lot or full
 |  3. Ally: Any      = Chronos Tear |  of MP. Now what you can do is switch
 |  4. Ally: Any      = Echo Herbs   |  over all your Character 1 (attacker)
 |  5. Self: HP <50%  = Curaga       |  and Character 2 (Reverse caster)'s
 |  6. Ally: Any      = Hastega      |  Gambit system over to each other,
 |  7. Foe :lowest HP = Attack       |  means now you have to change your
 |                                   |  attacker. 
 | Character 2: Ashe                 |  
 |  1. Foe: lowest HP = Attack       |  My Gambits for second part of the
 |      **the rest are less          |  battle are roughly like this:
 |        important for now          |  <~ second half.
 |                                   |  The problem is while chaging your
 | Character 3: Penelo               |  attacker, you might get to have two
 |  1. Ally: Ashe     = Decoy        |  character with Decoy, if Fafnir choose
 |  2. Ally: Any      = Arise        |  to attack your attacker is fine, but
 |  3. Ally: Any      = Echo Herbs   |  if you notice Fafnir is still aiming
 |  4. Ally: Any      = Alarm Clock  |  on your former attacker (Character 1),
 |  5. Self: HP <50%  = Curaga       |  you better Dispel his/her Decoy before
 |  6. Ally: Any      = Bubble       |  anything goes bad. Just keep on going
 |  7. Foe :lowest HP = Attack       |  for the same strategy like first half
 -------------------------------------  battle to the end.

 Kill all enemies in these two section before Giruvegan gate where known as
 The Edge of Reason and Ice Field of Clearsight, when the tomato enemies show
 in the Ice Field of Clearsight, that's mean Behemoth King is already there.
 There're around 60 enemies in this two sections.

 Wondering this mob remind you the Fafnir? He is actually something like
 Fafnir, with stronger attack, defense, higher HP, know magic or physical
 attack immunation, and he's smarter than Fafnir. However, with everything
 recommended for Fafnir fight, this mob is NOT harder that Fafnir, all you
 need is just the time. You will know how useful of moving your character
 during the battle in this fight. Reverse + Decoy tactic doesn't work well
 for this fight since you need lot of MP and Behemoth King will put up the
 physical barrier many times before his death, but Decoy is still very useful.

 Make your healer as leader, then set Gambit to cast Decoy on this character.
 Dispel Behemoth King at the beginning. Get closer to Behemoth King to lure
 him use magic (not tight to him), once he has ready the magic, run further
 until out of his magic range, if you did it well, Behemoth King will freeze
 in the casting magic status until you back close to him, so now you just need
 to wait and let other characters to attack him. Behemoth King will stop doing
 this when your Decoy/Lure status gone, and now he will attack the targets near
 him. Now recast Decoy on your healer and move closer to Behemoth King again to
 lure him, stay in a distance to make him freeze again. Repeat this until your
 healer run out of MP, change your healer to do the same thing.
 Example, my Gambit is roughly like this:

 ------------< First Step >----------- Well, here is only my example, I just
 | Character 1: Fran  (healer)       | simply show the basic of this tactic,
 |  1. Ally: Fran     = Decoy        | of cause you can fill in the remaining
 |  2. Ally: Any      = Arise        | Gambit slots to make this better.
 |  3. Ally: Any      = Chronos Tear |
 |  4. Ally: HP <60%  = Curaja       | You should always control the healer
 |  5. Ally: Any      = Hastega      | (set him/her as leader) who is always
 |  6. Ally: Any      = Bubble       | has the Lure status (Decoy). Make sure
 |  7. Foe :lowest HP = Attack       | to open the target line option under
 |                                   | Config menu, so that you can clearly
 | Character 2: Ashe  (attacker)     | notice when Behemoth King targets on
 |  1. Ally: Fran     = Decoy        | you healer, probably he will use magic
 |  2. Ally: Any      = Arise        | attack if you are not closer enough.
 |  3. Ally: Any      = Chronos Tear | Run away when your healer is targetted,
 |  4. Ally: HP <50%  = Curaja       | stay out of his magic ranage and wait
 |  5. Foe :lowest HP = Attack       | until your healer's Lure status gone.
 |                                   | If you did it well, Behemoth King will
 | Character 3: Penelo  (attacker)   | freezing there within the casting magic
 |  1. Ally: Any      = Arise        | status, now just wait your attackers to
 |  2. Ally: Any      = Chronos Tear | attack him as many as possible.
 |  3. Ally: Any      = Bubble       |
 |  4. Ally: HP <50%  = Curaja       | Once the Lure status gone from your 
 |  5. Foe :lowest HP = Attack       | healer, Behemoth King will start attack
 ------------------------------------- other characters. Now faster cast Decoy
 -----------< Second Step >----------- on your healer again and  lure  him  to
 | Character 1: Fran  (attacker)     | use magic again. Repeat this until your
 |  1. Ally: Any      = Arise        | healer nearly out of MP (less then 80),
 |  2. Ally: Any      = Chronos Tear | change your team setup like listed at
 |  3. Ally: Any      = Bubble       | <- the side (Second Step). Continue the
 |  4. Ally: HP <50%  = Curaja       | same tactic until your second healer
 |  5. Foe :lowest HP = Attack       | run low of MP, change your team setup
 |                                   | like the Third Step.
 | Character 2: Ashe  (healer)       |
 |  1. Ally: Ashe     = Decoy        | With the gain MP while attack and get
 |  2. Ally: Any      = Arise        | hit abilities on the License Board,
 |  3. Ally: Any      = Chronos Tear | you should re-gain enough of MP for
 |  4. Ally: HP <60%  = Curaja       | the first healer before your third
 |  5. Ally: Any      = Hastega      | healer out of MP. So just switch your
 |  6. Ally: Any      = Bubble       | Gambit setup like First Step to fight,
 |  7. Foe :lowest HP = Attack       | then repeat to Second Step, Third Step
 |                                   | and so on until the battle end.
 | Character 3: Penelo  (attacker)   |
 |  1. Ally: Ashe     = Decoy        | Reason I recommend this strategy is
 |  2. Ally: Any      = Arise        | to avoid to fight Behemoth King against
 |  3. Ally: Any      = Chronos Tear | his physical attack, which can deal lot
 |  4. Ally: HP <50%  = Curaja       | more damage than his magic, plus, you 
 |  5. Foe :lowest HP = Attack       | can block many magics with different
 ------------------------------------- equipments. Example, Zodiac Escutcheon
 ------------< Third Step >----------- and Rubber Suit can immune his Thundaga,
 | Character 1: Fran  (attacker)     | Demon Shield and Black Mask absorb his
 |  1. Ally: Penelo   = Decoy        | Darkja and more... And the main reason
 |  2. Ally: Any      = Arise        | is also because of magic attack is much
 |  3. Ally: Any      = Chronos Tear | more slower than his normal hit. Look at
 |  4. Ally: HP <50%  = Curaja       | Holy, you may actually attack 3-5 hits
 |  5. Foe :lowest HP = Attack       | before Behemoth King fully recover after
 |                                   | casting a Holy spell.
 | Character 2: Ashe  (attacker)     |
 |  1. Ally: Any      = Arise        | Some more things to add, to re-change
 |  2. Ally: Any      = Chronos Tear | your character's MP by using attack,
 |  3. Ally: Any      = Bubble       | you can equip the weapons with higher 
 |  4. Ally: HP <50%  = Curaja       | combo rate like Masamune, Ninja Sword
 |  5. Foe :lowest HP = Attack       | type weapons, with Genji Gloves, you
 |                                   | could gain many MP back for a few turn.
 | Character 3: Penelo (healer)      | As for changing your healer, you should
 |  1. Ally: Penelo   = Decoy        | switch off the Decoy Gambit slot before
 |  2. Ally: Any      = Arise        | the Lure status gone from you current,
 |  3. Ally: Any      = Chronos Tear | then set the Gambit to Decoy the next
 |  4. Ally: HP <60%  = Curaja       | character who willing to be the healer.
 |  5. Ally: Any      = Hastega      | Chronos Tear is to cure Stop status
 |  6. Ally: Any      = Bubble       | from the White Breath, just in case
 |  7. Foe :lowest HP = Attack       | Behemoth King did it while recasting
 ------------------------------------- Decoy, you may cure this immediately.

 If you were to set Bravery or Berserk Gambit for the attacker, make sure
 you off this Gambit when Behemoth King is within physical attack immunation
 status or nearly to put the immunation barrier, needless to say, it would be
 wasting your MP.  For the later on the fight when Behemoth King builds the
 Greater Barrier,  he seems highly increase the magic speed, so running away
 might still get damaged by his magic. But you should keep on the same tactic,
 just had to use Curaja frequently, again, getting magic attack is much more
 better than physical attack from Behemoth King.

 '-----------------------'

 Like Hell Wyrm optional boss, you can run from the fight anytime you like,
 as long as not leaving  Yiazmat with Regen status, he won't restore his life.
 So, fight until you're tired, then leave and save your game at the nearest
 Save Crystal, return there later as your wish.

 Well, my recommended level is  80, or it can be even lower, but of cause
 if you have higher level characters. There's a little tricks to reduce his
 long HP bar much easier than fighting him at the stage. At around level 80
 or lower, you have to do this trick, you cannot beat him by using normal
 battle style.

 Some important things you need are:
  - Darkga,  this is your main attack.
  - Mirror Mail, at least 3 for supporting your main attack.
  - Phoenix Down, 99 if it. You must sacrifice an ally for some reasons.
  - Gold Needle & Chronos Tear at least 10 for each. I believe you have more.
  - Hermes Sandals, if you don't like to unequip Mirror Mail and cast Haste.
  - Lv 3 Mists,  to max out your Max MP. I believe you have done this.
  - Windbreaker, just in case for Yiazmat's Cyclone.

 Optional:
  - Ashe and Penelo as main party, they have strongest magic power.
  - Bubble Belt, for safety before you can really trapped Yiazmat.
  - Opal Ring, in case of need.
  - Black Mask, in case of need.
  - Fomalhaut + Dark Shot, in case of need.
  - Sage's Ring to save your MP.

 NOTE:
  Before anything, I would like to let you know, this trick can only take
  down 95% Yiazmat's HP, you must fight the remaining 5% in the hard way!
  Althought this trick could not beat Yiazmat, but I think it would be
  helpful to get rid of 95% Yiazmat.

 #- Trapping Yiazmat
 Here comes the fight, I found a little trick to trap Yiazmat and attack him
 without worrying much, which means you don't actually need to fight him face
 to face. Switch off the Gambit, enter the Colosseum and manually cast Dispel
 on Yiazmat at first, let him target on your current leader. Circling Yiazmat
 at the side to lure him get close to the side, and now you will get one or
 two hits, but with Bubble Belt or Bubble status, you can survive it without
 problem. If you're unluckly get Stop or Petrify, or even stomp on the trap
 with other bad statuses, faster use item to cure it. Once Yiazmat has closed
 to the stairs (be sure it's very close to the stairs), change your second
 character as your leader, leave the former leader KO'd by Yiazmat, but now
 make sure you new leader run down the stairs and hide behind the wall.

 Use Phoenix Down or Arise to revive your former leader once yo reached
 behind the wall. Now Yiazmat will start casting Protect at the same place,
 and you can actually damage him behind the wall, by using Reflect + Darkga
 is the strongest attack. Equip all character with Mirror Mail and use the
 Darkga on your own.

 You might not understand what I mean, so check the link below, click "Next"
 at the bottom to see step by step of the trick.

http://
s157.photobucket.com/albums/t43/sephirosuy/Yiazmat/?action=view&current=s01.jpg

 Once you've done trapping Yiazmat, simply set the Gambit like this:
 ---------------------------------------
 | Character 1                         | As mentioned before, equip all your
 |  1. Ally: Any      => Phoenix Down  | character with Mirror Mail, so you
 |  2. Ally: Any      => Darkga        | don't need to cast Reflectga on the
 |                                     | team. Keep on using Darkga to bounce
 | Character 2                         | off triple damage to Yiazmat.
 |  1. Ally: Any      => Phoenix Down  |
 |  2. Ally: Any      => Darkga        | Same time, Yiazmat will cast Protect,
 |                                     | Shell, Regen, Haste, Bravery... spell
 | Character 3                         | on his own, you should Dispel him
 |  1. Ally: Any      => Phoenix Down  | again at the suitable timing.
 |  2. Ally: Any      => Darkga        | I recommend begin your Dispel once
 --------------------------------------- Yiazmat has done his Haste.

 By doing so, you would trigger Yiazmat to use Deathstrike since Dispel
 cannot cast through the wall. Just send the character with weakest Magic
 to do this job. Revive him/her after the Deathstrike, the Dispel should
 be sent before Yiazmat did the Deathstrike. So, Yiazmat will recast the
 support spell accrodingly again, repeat and send him more Darkga until
 him cast Haste, Dispel as usual.

 Sometimes, Yiazmat will use Cyclone instead of Deathstrike, if this happen,
 try set your team to be only one existing character to take on the Cyclone,
 but probably you can't do this well  since your Gambit is on. So equip all
 character with Windbreaker armor, also equip  Shell Shield  if you have it,
 just only to block the Cyclone. Change back the better equipments afterwards.
 Remeber Cyclone bring you Sap status, be sure you heal it.

 #- Additional notes:
  - Sometimes you can actually make Yiazmat cancels Cyclone, but I haven't
    discovered how exaclty was it. So far I've done few times, which is keep
    running further from Yiazmat (who was targetted by Yiazmat with Cyclone),
    and eventaully Yiazmat begins casting Protect again.
  - Equip Sage's Ring to regain some MP, because you can gain MP while
    using Darkga, and Sage's Ring reduce the MP cost.
  - If you need to cast support spell, equip Opal Ring, but remember to
    unequip it after you've done.
  - In case after Cyclone you need to heal badly, unequip the Mirror Mail
    on the character at low HP and equip Black Mask, means heal by using
    Darkga, meanwhile you can damage Yiazmat.
  - Equip Hermes Sandals to speed up your progress.
  - Prevent Reflectga from Yiazmat by equiping Mirror Mails.
 
 *** READ THIS ***

   Hopefully you haven't go and fight Yiazmat without reading this.
   Again, with the strategy above, you can only cut off 95% of his HP,
   what would happen after that? Like King Bomb restores its HP after
   getting certain amount of damage, but Yiazmat is like a auto-ability,
   he will restore his HP very faster, probably 2 seconds restore one
   life bar, you can't Dispel this, however, this auto-ability can only
   be activated when Yiazmat cannot detect any target in his range. So,
   show off yourself to stop Yiazmat from restoring HP. And I noticed
   this will happen when Yiazmat HP is down to 2 bar left, that's mean
   when 1 red dot left under his HP bar.
   For safety, GO AND SAVE YOUR GAME NOW~!

   Before return to the fight, remember Yiazmat will give you a Cyclone
   after he done his supporting setup. So, send a solo character to take
   against this Cyclone. It's better you have Reverse status in the right
   timing, so you don't need to worry for it. I recommend start casting
   Reverse when you pass the stairs.

 #- Final showdown

    1. Lure Yiazmat to use Deathstrike
    With the over-wall attack trick above, Yiazmat can only use Deathstrike
    if you don't enter the stage. To not make Yiazmat stop attacking, use
    two characters to keep staying at the stairs, as Yiazmat can detect the
    targets, he will keep using Deathstrike, so his HP wouldn't restore as
    long as he sees your ally. Keep one ally using Darkga as usual, be sure
    you have Gambit set to use Phoenix Down against your ally to revive from
    Deathstrike. But this technique is slow, and Yiazmat might use Cyclone
    instead of Deathstrike, so you do have to prepare against Cyclone too.

    2. Decoy + Reverse
    As you need to close combat with Yiazmat, he will cast Reflectga on
    your team, if you want to use Dispel on your team, you will lost all
    your current supporting statuses, and you need to recast them, which
    is wasting your time. To make the things easier, equip Mirror Mail
    to prevent the Reflectga from Yiazmat. Decoy a character and Reverse
    him/her. Already mentioned in Fafnir strategy under Rank H/VII section,
    check it out for the basic setup. By using this technique, you have to
    prepare Esuna or Chronos Tear and Gold Needle to cure the possible bad
    statuses from Stone and White Breath. Since Yiazmat only attack your
    Decoyed character, so equip Windbreaker to other characters for the
    oming soon Cyclone.

    3. Reverse everyone
    You don't need to Decoy, only cast Reverse to all ally, but you need
    to spend lot of MP. This is also a close combat, so equip Mirror Mail
    to prevent Yiazmat's Reflectga. Now you should have Gambit setup for
    "Self => Reverse" or "Ally: Any => Reverse". Equip Sage's Ring to
    reduce MP cost of Bubble/Bubble Belt to double your HP for just in
    case get hit by Yiazmat before you put up the Reverse. So basically
    you don't need to worry about Cyclone, but you still need to prepare
    curing Petrify, Stop and Sap. 

  The strongest boss in the game is going down, Good Luck~!

- Move back to Dalmasca Estersand and pass the Muramata to Ruksel to start
  this Mini-Game.

-------------
< Advancing >
-------------

If you've completed Mysterious Man/Gilgamesh rank H Mob Hunt mission, you will
get Blue, Green, Red, Yellow and Black Bottle during the fishing one by one.
With the hints from the Bottles, find five letters from the locations below:

Blue Bottle

  Reference the picture below if you don't want to find yourself.

Green Bottle

  Find the shack by the middle trunk.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/sephiroth_y/Guide/bottle2.jpg


Red Bottle
- Mosphoran Highwaste, Gate Crystal section. 
  Find the Wind Shrine at North-West area, check it to get the letter.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/sephiroth_y/Guide/bottle3.jpg


Yellow Bottle
- Cerobi Steppe,
  Go turn on the windmill No.1, 2, 5, 7, 9, turn off 3, 4, 6, 8, 10. If you
  do so, you will get the letter automatically, make sure double check to
  confirm all of them have been fixed right.


Black Bottle
- Garamsythe Waterway, central control section where the Save Crystal by.
  Go South-East abit, where you can see some mouses running round.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/sephiroth_y/Guide/bottle5.jpg


After you got all five letters, move on to Barheim Passage to find Gilgamesh.
Go to the longest railway in the middle known as Zeviah Span, you can see a
small area at the South of this section, and you can only reach there from
South. Enter that small area to watch a scene with Gilgamesh and Enkidou.
Here is the location:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/sephiroth_y/Guide/gil.jpg

After all, you will obtain Matamune demon rod. Now return and pass this rod
to Ruksel in Dalmasca Estersand, continue fishing until you get Upstream.
At the beginning, you can only fish in the Downstream, get 5 or more perfect
fishing (no mistake) to unlock the Midstream. 5 more perfect fishing in the
Midstream to unlock the Upstream.


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    Getting the Lu Shang's Badge
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Now with the Matamune, you can obtain Saboten Bond/Cactoid Compact in the
Upstream. Continue fishing in the new fishing spot, Hidden Shoals. You will
eventually get the Saboten Crest/Cactoid Commendation. Now fish in the last
fishing spot, named Den of the River Lord (name Master Den for JP version).
Try your best to get  9 successfully command input  for the King Of Nebra,
then lastly obtain the  Lu Shang's Badge,  which is the trading treasure
for Wyrmhero Blade/Tolo Sword.

Note/Tips:
  I've heard the Saboten Crest/Cactoid Commendation in Hidden Shoals is
  random, not too sure, but I got it at my fifth perfect fishing.

  For the last fishing spot, Den of the River Lord, you just need to get
  9 sucessfully fishing to get the Lu Shang's Badge/Taikou Chest. And it's
  simple since you don't need to get perfect fishing exaclty, as long as
  you got 9 times, the loot is yours.

  Try to memorize the buttons like this:
    .-----------------------------.
    |   R 1    L 2     ^     [ ]  |
    |   R 2    L 1     X     ->   |
    '-----------------------------'

  Nothing other than practice, keep your cool during the process.
  Relax and chew a chewing-gum seems work for me lol

With enough of Engage items, go to the Imperial City of Archades, and obtain
all 28 White Leafs in the four sections at East for the Black Feather before
you can find the NPC who gives you the treasure of Horoscopes.

Same as how you get 9 White Leafs for the taxi guard to travel. Run around
speak with any one of the 28 appointed NPCs for the information, then inform
to the other one of the pair to complete it. Is better you run this with the
7a-6. Cockatrice Find quest together (below), since that quest in this place
needed all 28 White Leafs as well. Anyway, of cause you could done this
seperately if you don't want to be confused. When you back here during the
Cockatrice Find quest, you don't need to find all these White Leafs anymore.

In the section beside Airship Terminal, you can speak with the girl who's
runing around, and she will tell you the remaining White Leaf for each section.

After getting all 28 White Leafs, go find the Guild Counter in any shops here,
trade all White Leafs for the Black Feather. With the Black Feather, you're

 - Imperial City of Archades -
 -----------------------------
You need to obtain all 28 White Leafs/Pinewood Chops in the four sections at

the Northern point. Once you check on the Cockatrice, it will run away, now
you need to chase it. When closing to the Cockatrice, you do have to walk,
otherwise it will run into a distance, and you're not able to chase it by
running.

The two corridors at both sides corner are the key points to catch up with it,
if you lost to get it, just drive it until the next corridor. Near the side
corner, the Cockatrice will just keep going on the street, so you just need to
walk into the corridor for short cut, as long as you don't show in front of
it, you should catch up with it after the corridor. Talk to it and choose the
first option, it will stay at the Northern area. Talk to it again and choose

society (who also has 7 brothers in his family), he's offering the marriage to
the girl, but with certain reasons, the girl refuse him. Now he turns to you
and ask you to travel for another 6 routes of flight, find 6 other sisters and
tell them about this theme, then the man (whom you see at the counter) will
give up this marriage.So now what you need to do is keeping travelling to
defferent trips by normal flight to find the remaining 6 sisters. You would
get the key item, Ann's Letter from when you start quest.

see a man in front of the counter. Talk to the Cabin Chief and show her the
Ann's Letter that you got from the first sister. Repeat this to the remaining
sister. Once you've done, you will get Ring of Renewal (accessory).

Here is the transcriptions of the event (thanks to Ashille).

~~~~ Q1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Hello,  I am called Ktjn.  I left my home and came to Rabanastre
  only quite recently. I have yet to learn my way around. I had been
  hoping to find someone I might speack with. Should you like to talk
  again,  it would please me  Greatly.  Is  the city not wondderful?
  I still lose my way on occasion,  but I have come to know some of
  her walks and alleyways.

<<Question>>

  But the Land, i cannot heart it...Should this not Trouble me as a vieara?
    1 --> "Yes, you should be ashamed."
          - (I see, then perhaps it was a mistake to leave the wood...)
          - (Pay no mind to my mutterings. Pray, speak with me again soon.) 
    2 --> "No, don't be silly."
          - I am Glad you think so. I somtimes worry that a true
            Viera would not have such difficulty finding her way.
          - I wonder if my sister had such doubts when first she left the 
            wood...ah, pay no mind mutterings. Pray speak with me again soon. 

~~~~~ Q2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  It is good to see you again.  I have had so little  opportunity to
  Speak with Humes. My people keep to themselves. The number of visitors
  to our village could be counted out on a single hand. So did I long to
  come to a hreat city such as Rabanastre.  That wish is now come true,
  but this is not how i had hoped it would be. 

<<Question>>

  I knew my choice would bring hardship, yet...
    1 --> "You should've thought it through."" 
          - Perhaps i should have.Strength of will alone could not
            make up for my ignorance of the wider world. 
          - I do not wish to admit it, but i know it now to be true...
          - Feel not sorrowful, it is not easy thing to speak unwelcome
            truths to another. Yet these are the most valuable truths to hear.
    2 --> "Things will get better."
          - I suppose few things go as we originally plan them.
            That is why we must each struggle through life.
          - I too will struggle toward my goal.

~~~~ Q3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Hello, have you come for another visit? Little has changed for me.
  I have seen much of the city, thought I still have made few friends,
  and am no closer to realizing my goal. I have not spoken of this to
  you before, but I came to Rabanastre to become...more like my sister.
  She had Grown tired of our life of isolation... Long ago she left,
  only later did i hear rumors she had come here.  All this time my
  sister has been making her way through  the world,  while I lived
  in the sheltered peace of the wood. 

<<Question>>

  I would be as she is. Do you think it possible?
    1 --> "Sure, if you put your mind to it."
          - You are right! Time spent lingering in doubt is time wasted.
            If I am to be like my sister, i must work hard at this...
          - But she and i possess very different talents. What if i have
            made the wrong choice?
    2 --> "I don't know your sister."
          - True, you do not. i will tell you of her, when the time is right.
          - I do not mean to keep secrets, but i am not ready to be measured
            against her. Not yet.
    3 --> "It'll never happen." 
          - ...I see. So you think me too naive to follow
            in my sister's footsteps.
          - Though you may speak the truth, I am not yet beaten. 

~~~~ Q4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
  I am happy to see you visit again. Talking with you somehow
  makes my burdens feel lighter I have left my home, and I can
  never return.  I had no doubts when set out,  but now wonder
  whether I will fail where my sister did not.  It would not be
  right to turn to my sister for help, she is now an accomplished
  warrior,  but for me  no allure does the call of  battle hold.
  Others have said  I possess a warmth of care my sister lacks.
  Still, not on kindness alone can one make her way in the world.
  Perhaps it would be best if I too became a warrior like my sister.

<<Question>> 

  What do you think?
    1 --> "I think it's a good idea."
          - I thought am much. I will join a Clan, and learn
            to fight as my sister.
          - But i have ne skill in battle. Even should i join a Clan,
            I may be more burden than aid.
          - Ah forgive me. I always seem to look at what is not,
            instead of what is.
          - Pray speak with me again soon
    2 --> "I'm not so sure."
          - Hmmm...so, strength in battle does not necessarily mean
            strength of character. I had not thought of it in this way.
          - I believe i may have taken one step stoward choosing the 
            path I should follow. I look forward to our next meeting.

          '-------------------------------'-----------------------'

Before you can fight Chaos, you have to go through some little quests and get
the apppointed keys. First of all, go Nabreus Deadlands to trigger the scene
with Ma'Kleou. Afterwards, you need to obtain three fragments, below is the
way for them:

- Clear Wraith (rank E), White Mousse and Orthros (rank A) Mob Hunt missions.
- Return to your client for rewards with the first fragment from Orthros
  mission, Blackened Fragment.

With Sluice Gate Key which get from the reward of White Mousse hunting mission,
back to Garamsythe Waterway, so that you can control the panel. In the central
control section, you can see some spheres there which are the panel of 3rd,
4th, 10th and 11th area waterway. To not be confused, light off all panels
for first, then follow the steps below:
- On No.11 Area Panel. (thats mean light up the panel)
- On No.4 Area Panel.
- Off No.11 Area Panel.
- On No.3 Area Panel.
- Off No.4 Area Panel.
- Now go around South in the same area and find the shiny object on the ground
  which is another fragment that you need, Dull Fragment.
  NOT in the South section, it's still the semi-circle!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/sephiroth_y/Guide/fragment_gw.jpg

If it's any wrong step you did, just light off all panel and start again.


- In Rabanastre Downtown/Lowtown, head to Old Dalan's Place at South, talk to
  Roh'Kenmou near Dalan.  
- Still in Downtown/Lowtown, around South-East area, talk to Filo.
- Go Rabanastre central section where known as Southern Plaza, talk to the
  Curious Women who's looking at the fountain.
- Now go Bazaar section and speak with all merchants there and ask about the
  Necklace things until you get the answer.
- Head to Magic shop and talk to the Sotted Imperial, the only soldier sitting
  in the left corner, choose first option twice.
- Back down to Downtown/Lowtown and talk to Filo, choose lets go with Filo to
  return to Magic Shop for some events, you will get one more fragment after
  the scene, Grimmy Fragment.

Before leaving for the next quest, back to Old Dalan's Palce in
Downtown/Lowtown, pass all three fragments that you get to Roh'Kenmou,
and he would disappear.

- Since you had already met with Ma'Kleou, now go to The Imperial City Of
  Archades.
- Within the Magic Shop, talk to Roh'Kenmu.
- Move on to Old Archades West section, talk to Otto at the corner for the
  Moonsilver Medallion.
- Return to Imperial City Of Archades, pass the Moonsilver Medallion to
  Roh'Kenmu in Magic Shop.

After the quests above, you're getting closer to the esper. Now,
- Go to Nabreus Deadlands and talk to Ma'Kleou.
- Head to North-West section. Like you hunt Roblon (rank S), you have to go
  through the hidden path. Just go South from the Gate Crystal, following
  section search the North-West area for the path.
- Go until you see something like monument to get Medallion Of Bravery, Love
  and lately obtain the Lusterless Medallion.

Now move to Necrohol Of Nabudis, central West area, use Medallion Of Bravery
to open the Door Of Horrors, defeat Humbaba Boss/Mistant optional boss. Head
to North-East area, use the Medallion Of Love to open the Door Of Loathing and
defeat Fury optional boss. Now the Lusterless Medallion become Mighty. Go to
the central section, use the Medallion Of Might to open the Door of Despair
and battle with this esper.

*about Humbaba Boss/Mistant and Fury, you can look for them under
 "Optional Bosses" section.

Check this map to find out the details of Nabudis:
http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_nabudis.png

Use Fury and Humbaba Boss/Mistant as your tests before the fight, if you
couldn't handle these battles well, go train some more before fighting Chaos.
Attack command was sealed, the worst thing. Prepare your Gambit system focus
onto magic and skill uses, Telekinesis (Distance Attack for JP version) skill/
technick is recommended to replace your normal attack, you can buy it from the
secret shop there (Nabudis) after Giruvegan event. As for magic, of cause the
stronger is better, strongest Black Magic is Scathe (Collapse for JP version)
which sell in the secret shop as well, buy it after Pharos at Ridorana if you
need it.

Cast support spell on your party, and recast them for the entire battle when
they're gone, do remember Faith is to raise up the magic power. And needless
to say, Dispel Chaos whenever he has support spells. Take down the 4 elemental
Chaosjets before focus on Chaos. Chaos attacks are pretty stronge, recommend
equip shield for this battle since you don't use any weapon attacks, unless
you're using Telekinesis, so you need stronger weapons to boost up the damage
to Chaos,  if you're not using the Telekinesis technick style, just use the
shields. Chaos can you Silence, and magics are the main attack for now, you
must prepare Gambit to cure Silence all the time. Because of Chaos can absorb
the elemental spells, remember just use the non-element spells to damage him.
If you have lot of gil, use Gil Toss isn't a bad idea. Beside, you can also
send him Slow and Sap.

After story reaching to Phon Coast, camp section, back to Mosphoran
Highwaste only you can find this esper. From the Gate Crystal section:

- Prepare some Gysahl Green.
- Activate the South-South Wind Shrine, it's South from the shop.
- Now you can see an exclamation mark in the map screen. Go North-East from
  the Gate Crystal section.
- Give a Gysahl Green to the chocobo so you can ride it.
- Cross over the exclamation mark to West by using that chocobo.
- In West area, activate the West-West Wind Shrine there, then push down the
  rock beside can back to Gate Crystal section.
- Activate North-West Wind Shrine which is around the shop.
- Now you can see two more exclamation marks in the map screen, they're around
  West area, cross over them will reach to the arena.
 
Can't use item for this battle. He has around 100,000 Hp, always like to cast
Reflect. One way to delay him is let one of your character always Dispel his
Reflect, so he will keep recasting it back, then use other characters to hit
him. Just beware of Collapse/Scathe spell which can damage all your characters,
he know to cast Flare and has absorb HP attack as well. Sometimes, he will
build a magic barrier when he was Critical HP.

Since he loves to play with Reflection, if you got some stronge magic like
Scourage, Collapse/Scathe, why not you play Reflect with him. Cast Reflect on
your party, cast Collapse/Scathe on your party. So now you can see even you're
facing an only target, but your spell can strike more then once time on the
opponent, depends on how many active characters you have, each of characters
reflect one strike of the spell. And do remember not cast Curaja and other
support spells on your team, otherwise they will be sent to your opponent,
however, equip Opal Ring for the character who's going to cast these spells
can still works as normal. This trick works with other spell which can damage
all enemies, and of cause it works on many other enemies, bosses fights which
I didn't mention.

Require finish Wraith (rank E) and White Mousse (rank A) Mob Hunt missions
first, obtain Sluice Gate Key and back here. From the first central area with
the Save Crystal, you should see some spheres here, they're the panels of 3rd,
4th, 10th and 11th area,

- First, switch on No. 3 and 10 Area Panel. (thats mean light up the panel)
- From here to South-West and switch on the No. 1 Area Panel there.
- Back to central, off No. 3 and 10 Area Panel, on No. 4 and 11 Area Panel.
- From here to South-East and switch on another No. 1 Area Panel.
- Back to central, off No. 11 Area Panel, on No. 3 Area Panel.
  Which means No. 3 and 4 Area Panel is on.
- Save your game before the battle, it wasn't an easy fight.
- From here, directly to South, down to the square area to face this esper.

You will get HP decrease in the entire battle, other than Curaja spells, also
prepare some X-potion to heal in case of no MP. Always cure the negative status
such as Immobilize, Disable, Sap and more, and these statuses would be send to
the entire party, means you should have Esunaga spell for this fight. Sometimes
he will Slow all your characters too, just recast Hastega to cover it. But the
main problem is Disable, you should prepare the Black Belt accessory for this,
the nearest shop can buy it is the item & accessory shop in Downtown/Lowtown,
buy one or two from there if you haven't got it. Some Foobar enemies will also
join the battle, should finish off them first. Remember Mist Knack/Quickening
can damage all enemies, make sure be the best combo. Use some Ether to restore
your MP after Mist Knack/Quickening, do it again when you have enough MP. By
the way, you could steal a Scorpio Gem from this esper.
