Final Fantasy 12 PS2 Q&A

Q: Hi I'm a very big fan of Final Fantasy 12. I was wondering in the STILSHINE OF MIRIAM there is a stone you routate in two ways, clock wise and countercolckwise. Which way do you routate it and in which direction? My friend told me after I do this I have to face a boss.

A1: Make each of the statues face the center of the shrine. Check your map to see which way they are facing. They will have big yellow arrows in the direction they face.

A2: There should be a space in the middle of the map for the stilshrine of miriam. That is the Collosus Statue. Point all 3 statues toward the statue and it will lift up it's sword to let you pass to the obtainable esper mateus the corrupt

A3: First there are three stone statues that you have to rotate either clockwise or counter-clockwise but all have to face toward the giant Gigas statue in the middle of the map. {For the statue in the west section of the map you nedd to face it toward the east, [looking toward the Gigas statue].{for the statue in the southern section you the need to face it to the north, [looking toward the Gigas statue yet agian].{For the statue in the eastern section, you need to face it toward the west, [agian looking toward the the Gigas statue]. Upon leaving the eastern section there will be an FMV. Proceed to the base of the Gigas statue and proceed under the huge sword that has moved now. Before proceeding though where you fought the nightmare (horse) earlier if stand close to the wall on the righthand side of the passage(if your camera view is looking in the direction of the Gigas statue) a hidden stairway will appear proceed up, fight oiling's allong the way.once you reach the top cast float on your party,(trap once you walk into next screen). kill everything as well as the rare game, (matriach bomb).Now proceed to the passage past the Gigas sword. Fight the boss and esper as well I believe.

A4: There are actually 3 stone statues you need to rotate it does not matter which way you rotate them as long as all three of them are pointing to the center so after rotating them hit select to throw up your map and it will show you what way they are pointing (the one to the left needs to point right, the one on the right needs to point left and the one on the bottom needs to point up)

A5: Look at minimap, there 3 stones in all, have them all facing the centre, where the huge statue is. this will make the statue lift the sword blocking your way on the bottom baselemt level passageway. in the first room of this stillshrine there is a waystone at the far end behind this statue, this will take you to the proper path. DISCO AAIN'T DEAD

A6: That boss your friend told u about is harder than hell if ur lvl.30 only and make the three stone braves (thats wat their called)look like a triangle (upside down) on the map and the way opens

Q: Question is ive completed all 30 of the rare monster hunts dectated by the phon cost huntmaster but when I turn them in it says 29 trophies im assuming because I gave the huntmaster the initial trophy for killing thalassinon but I must be missing something because no awards ceremony occurs after turning them in what is it that i'm missing?

A1: There is an extra one that they didnt put on the list. Its a rare game called the biding mantis. Its in golomore jungle (the needlebrake). It gives you the scythe trophy which isn't on the list for some reason.

A2: How do you steal from the rare hunts

Q: I followed the the steps on how 2 get the Zodiac Spear but when I look in every room in the Necrohol of Nabudis, there are no pack of treasures! -TomTM?

A1: These are the ideas that popped on my head: 1.maybe it is in Fury, Humbaba, or Chaos' room. 2.or in the rooms where the 3 bosses lurks, maybe there are secret passages. 3.maybe it is in the secret area. 4. you accidentally opened one of the chest and you didn't remember it. 5. maybe you have a brother then he played your game, opened one of the chest, saved the game then the situation that you are in now. thats all the ideas that popped in my head.......... -Answer by:finalfantasyman

A2: The zodiac spear is deep within the necrohol of nabudis you have to first make it to the 2nd level which is in the bottom left of the map (if you r entering thru the salikawood) then follow it till you reach stairs again n go to the 3rd level in the top right of the map now you head right down the corridor and take the first left, then the next left and its the 3rd chest there (from the right) case your low in level I recommend use of float and only worrying about your leader as long as he/she makes it to a safe area you can heal and prepare to keep going i hope this helps (i got my zodiac at level 30 or so)

A3: Go to that room north of where chaos is, its a small room and it there will be a mess of treasure in it, open all of them and you will find the Zodiac spear. If not than something must be wrong. .RYDER

A4: In the 3rd little area there will be a tree lookin thing in the map go up and left to the next little chamber there will be 16 chest without diamond armlet not of rust a z spear with that dark matters no spear

Q: I have the Diamond Armlet equipped on my lead character, and I went to the Cerubi Steppe since it's supposed to have a lot of good weapons/items in the chests. But every time I open one, even with the Armlet, it's always a freakin' Knot of Rust. Or Gil. Do the chests respawn after you leave? Or do they disappear forever once opened?Seeing as Fomalhaut can only be found in chests, if I find Knots of Rust instead, does it mean I missed my chance at getting it?

A1: On cerobe steppe, go to the middle area near the blue save crystal. the following items can be found in all those chests there w/ armlet: ribbon fomolhaut ice cloud arrows angel wings (its real.......3rd best light armor) but the eziest way to get fomolhaut is in lhusu mines where the antilion hunt monster was (the little area). There's a chest, now open it and you might get it......DONT USE ARMLET THO.......if you dont get it, wait until it respawns........just go outta lhusu mines and come back......it will be there again............ -TomTM

Q: Does anyone know where the viera the lovestruck guy likes goes after hesays she went tothe east end?

A1: The first time you find her, she is by the Chocobos in the South Gate. The second time you find her, she is in the shop called Yamoora's Gambits in the North End of Rabanastre. The third and final time you find her, she will be sitting on the railing of the balcony in the Sandsea in the East End of Rabanastre. Then you must go talk to the Lovestruck Man and he will ask you to tell her how he feels. Go back to the Sandsea and talk to the Viera and she will run out of the Sandsea to see the Lovestruck Man. You are done by this time but if you decide to go back to the Southern Plaza, speak with the new couple and the Viera will give you a Loxley Bow and two Hi-Potions as a token of her gratitude for bringing them together. Good luck.

Q: I was on Youtube and it showed another way to get the Zodiac Spear and Zodiac sheild(sorry, I can't remember how to spell it). Anyway I couldn't understand it though because it was in Japanese. From what it looks, he/she was giving out trophies to the Bangaa brothers at the Phon coast in order. Then it was in the menu when you talk to the man that sells the items. Have any of you come across this?

A1: For my self, I did'nt across it, this is some kind of glitch, you can't possibly get a Zodiac spear or a Zodiac escutcheon from those bangaas... Someone on that youtube that you are saying, is cheating using an action replay max cd, or he already have that from the beginning... (WARNING: don't use action replay max on any game, because it can damage your cd greatly.) -finalfantasyman

A2: Yes if you have all the rare game gave to the atak in rare game all the trophies the outfit is the Zodiac spear -Answer by:vietboylonely01

Q: Evrytime zodiark starts blinking red, he becoms immun 2 atck n magic. when da immunity for magk goes out and I use EVRY magk, I end up healin him. wen da immunity for attck goes out, it pops bak up agn in 5 sec! I rarely get a chnce 2 hit him n wen I do, I STIL HEAL HIM!! EVEN WITH EXCALIBUR N ALL !HELP MAN!?

A1: Why don't you just cast reverse on Zodiark?

A2: DUDE! I SAID "EVERY" MAGIC!!! WTH MAN! it also means when I reversed zodiark, I tried curin his butt, I STILL HEAL HIM!

A3: That is not the true purpose of Reverse, unless reverse was on YOUR characters. Casting reverse on him and then curing him means nothing, because its HIM that has reverse, NOT YOU. -Answer by:SkyeWinters

A4: I killed zodiark at level 78! you realy need a demon shild atlist you will have a 50% percent chace of revercing his darckja! trust me man. it helps alot

A5: I swear u r3+@rd3d......again its me....CURING IS SOMETHING!!! Reverse: Cause healing and attacking to have the oppostie effect... so, if I reversed zodiark, attacking would heal him and curing would hurt him but since he used SWITCH, anything will cure him....if you reverse on your allies, they will get healed if they are attacked, but when having your gambits the same and you use reverse when your life is low, your allies might start curing you and actually kill you..... i just learned that the only way to hurt him is BALANCE!!! DEE DEE DEE! :P HAHA! im fytin yiazmat ryt now.....WAAAAAAAAAAAY longer to beat and kinda HAAAAAAAAARDER......when I went to omega he killed me like nothing......in about 3 minutes......

A6: You have to have a demon shield, excalibur or your strongest weapon, great armors, reverse, and decoy. You must first, cast reverse on all of your characters before the battle, then cast decoy on your toughest character(character must have a higher defense than the others), put your strongest weapon on your 2nd most strongest character, turn of your healing gambits, let the one with the strongest weapon fight, when you see him kneeling on the floor cast arise then reverse on him, next when he is immune to attack and magick, wait for it to disappear 2 times then use Ultima(if you have) or use a chain quickening, then switch to the other characters(if one character is targeted, it cannot be exchanged) and use a chain quickenning, going up to 11-15 hits this should damage him a lot and making his HP about 1/4, when his HP is that, he will use that immune thing over and over, use a megalixer when reverse disappears, it will gradually recover HP and MP to it's fullest. Time your quickening when he makes that immune thing disappears then you should chain about 16-18 hits, that should defeat him..... Hope I Helped!:-)

A7: OK, When Zodiark is Blinking Red in Critical HP, Switch All Of Your Healing Gambits So That You Use X-Potions. Then Cast Reflectga On your party ( DONT USE OPAL RINGS), when Reflectga is up, start casting Scourge on your teammates and it will bounce off and hit Zodiark..it will not heal him because it does not count as a direct attack..this is how I beat him Hope I helped

A8: Okay, he uses a thing called shift which, as you know changes his elemental weekness so, use non-elemental magick, now whos the r3+@rd! if you want to prevent his invulnerability from happening in the first place save your quickening until he has about a quarter health left and hit him with everything you got, black hole is the strongest but is very difficult to initiate even if it does not kill him it cant have too much health left, so use scathe or flare when his magick shield is down and you have dispeled reflect.

A9: Kill him in 5 minutes. after he uses darckja heal your members then use berserk on all of you party. then when he is innun 2 atck n magic(if you have it) use a reflectga molte, or cast it to all praty memmbers. then once they all have reflect cast scourge on ally ally it will will zodiark! THIS IS THE TRUTH! BECAUSE I JUST DID IT

A10: When zodiark blinks red he is immune to magic and attacks right ? I summoned zalera and he used condemnation on him. make sure your summoner is strong and has high ethers or elixers to keep his mp is ok and hope your luck is as good as mine was. try not to dance when he dies though.

A11: You can use every weapon exept excalibur. Buy Demon shields to absorb his Quickening "Darka". If Zodiark reaches 1/4 of his HP then try useing only 2 characters. If the one dies revive him. IF you revive one of your chars then run away from the resurrected char. Zodiark uses Quickening on the one who is still alive. The Distance of his quickening can't reach you resurrected char, so revive, revive, revive with phoenix downs. You'll have to have 99 of them. Until Zodiark isnt immune just attack him with your strongest magic. If he casts reflect, dispel him. Do this process and you'll win. In my first fight against him I won with this strategy. And make sure your chars have all bubble belts on. -Answer by:Rain17

A12: Cast reflect on yo self when he gets immune and use scathe on yo self and it will hit him it ain't a direct hit but you damage him.from:basch676

A13: I killed Zodiark in 1 minute it was pretty easy to kill him. First you cast haste, bravery, and berserk on 2 character, then take both of them out of the field, then I entered with only 1 character in my party with the Black Mask on, then go straight to Zodiark. After zodiark played Darkja, put the 2 character with berserk back in the field and look at them go.

Q: Hey there, two problems here. One going for the gill snapper, and I can't find all the trees, got two of them and have been walking around forever, where the heck are they?? SEcondly, how exactly do the quickenings work, it just says out of time and nothing seems to have happened? Thanks you wonderful people.

A1: The trees are in the following places: toam hills, starfall field, nomad village, gizas south bank, throne road, and the crystal glade. First to use quickenings make sure you are full of MP because they use all you MP, second when it says times up press the R1 and L1 buttons (can't remember which) and hold them to make your characters quickenings shift (if you have more than one quickening on each character) let go periodically and one of them will be highlighted in white. Make sure all characters have at least one full MP bar to maximize quikening use. Hope this helps. Good luck

A2: I cant answer the first one but I can answer the sceond one well first you need 2 people to do quickings when one person is doing a quicking look at the bottom right hand coner of you screen and it will say one of your peoples names then it will have a triangle circle square or X by their name what ever the shape is by their name thats what button you push on your controller and if it says mist charge by the shape hold the button down untill it stops charging then push the button again and your person will do thier mist charge again but it only works with 2-3 people and you have to be quick about it or your mist chain will run out of time.
