Final Fantasy 12 PS2 Q&A

Q: How do you defeat the hell whyrm?

A1: U level up you ensure that you have gambit for resurecting u set one player decoy and reverse you redo those speel as much as needed and u get patient cuz your not doing it udner an hour .also know that u can get out save and return at least three time I didnt tried more

A2: Train until you at Lv 58 or above....that works fine for me!

A3: Hell Wyrm has a massive dark damage move so make sure you equip your characters with black mask to avoid this attack. Make sure you set a gambit up for curaja so when he does invert, you can cure yourself instantly. You can also you expose to lower his defense but mainly you just hack away at the big beast until he dies. Also set a gambit to arise so that your characters will automatically heal those who die. Set your charcaters up to use a chronos tear if the status stop is applied, one of them will get a chronos tear off becore all your players are stopped. you can also you decoy and reverse, but it's not necessary on hell wyrm like it is on omega and yazmat

Q: Where to find the seer?

A1: You can find the seer in The Pharos, go there when you finished the quest after Reddas dies, go to the elevator and press X you will see an option "Penumbra" go there then collect black orbs, don't bother killing the monsters outside the doors because they don't give you black orbs, when you fill in the right black orbs for each room, you can access the "Umbra" area, repeat these until you are at the "Subterra: Unknown" the seer will be there.....but first you must pass through Umbra and Abbysal first before you can go to the Unknown Subterra..... Sorry I forgot how many black orbs you will place in each room.... XTRA: I heard that you can get an Ultima Blade in the Umbra area..... and one more thing....don't overload the pedestals taht you put black orbs into because they will eat it if you overload it, example: you can only place 6 black orbs, you put 5 black orbs at once and put another 5 in it, it will suck the black orbs that you putted in, not the black orbs you already putted in............... Hope I helped!!:-) -Answer by:finalfantasyman

A2: Complete the black Orbs task in the Penumbra,Umbra and Abyssal then there will be a lift that will transport you to UNKNOWN, where the Seer is.

Q: I can't not find the finier(the white wym) in the bizzlara.the Hunt?

A1: You have to wait until there's a blizzard on the mountain and go to the Silverflow's end (the dead end path). Your mark will be waiting for you there. If your having trouble waiting for a blizzard, there's a better way to make come and stay. Start off by going to the mountain from Golmore Jungle and if a blizzard is there, go to the Silverflows End and it will be there. hope you find him and kick his a#re

A2: Well go to the paramina rift and got to the place right before the entrance to the stillshrine of miriam. it will appear there aduring a blizzard -Answer by:deadpool

A3: If you mean fafnir then try at lvl 60 cos he is hard like hell I tried him at lvl 55 but I can't. Anyway to find him tele to bur omisace gate crystal and head down there should be a blizzard then head west to silverflows head then south to somewhere(forgot name)then head west to karydine glacier you should see a new area it's the other side of silverflow's end go there and if there is a blizzard he is there.He is huge has over a million health and will kill any1 in 1 hit if not ready.Good news that I have heard is that he/she/it won't follow you if you run and it doesn't recover health when you run(woohoo).Good luck against Fafnir

Q: Where can I find the exodus esper?pls help me

A1: First u gotta be able to turn on the Shrine things in the Mosphoron Highwaste....hes at the Empyrean Seat...there are two Well thiings u have to turn on...one is where the 2-3 guys are the other is up past the boulder where the woman says it might fall....hope that helps some...

A2: Finish first the story with the still shrine of miriam. Go to the mosphoran highwaste. there you can activate switches that makes bolders fly up into airand then go to the place where the chocobo is. Ride itand go past the weeds. Get off it and hit the big bolder that makes your path quicker. Get back to the mosphoran highwaste and activate the other switch near the save crystal. go back up and you´ll find exodus -Answer by:Rain17

A3: When the gate to the Phon Coast is open the shrines will become active. Touch the shrine of the south (I think) and the shrine with the 2 men in front. Then get the wild chocobo and feed it to ride it. Then go south and go to the preveously inaccesable road to a chocobo only exit. Then go to the lower exit to get back the the Babbling Vale (?). Then you need to touch the shrine and knock down the big boulder for easier access. Then you can get to Empyriam Seat (spelling may be wrong) where Exodus is. BEWARE, he knows extremely bad magic and there is an anti-something field (forgot what kind it blocks).

Q: I'm in a hunt for the Seer where is it?

A1: After you beat the pharos you can use the elevator to go down to penumbra, umbraa, and abyssal. The seer is in abyssal. It is a pain to get to. Good luck!

A2: First,go ot the pharos(first ascent) at the 1 floor.you'll find the elevator(around the gate crystal).take it to the Penumbra zone.You must have a lot of black orb to meet the seer.At the penumbra zone,you'll find 4 ancient doors.Each door requires a black orb to light the path.when you set a black orb correctly to 4 ancient doors.you'll be able to go to the umbra zone(by the same elevator you use). penumbra zone-NW-9 black orbs,SW-6 black orbs.NE-18 black orbs,SE-3 black orbs. Bewarn,you'll have to defeat the phoenix before go to the umbra zone in order to meet the seer.The phoenix is in the NE ancient door.From there,open the door and go along the way.you'll the phoenix there. At the umbra zone,you have to do the same thing.There's 4 ancient doors that require a black orb. umbra zone-NW-9 black orbs,SW-18 black orbs,NE-15 black orbs,SE-15 black orbs. Then you'll be able to go to the abyssal zone by the same elevator.Gentlemen,you have to set black orb at the 4 ancient doors again. Abyssal zone-NW-21 black orbs,SW-12 black orbs,NE-15 black orbs,SE-27 black orbs. Alright,you can use the same elevator to the unknown zone now.you'll find the seer there.Make sure you prepare well.He's very tough guy.He'll call his servant(Pandaemonium,Slyt,Phoenix,Fenrir) to help him.Good luck and sorry for my bad english skills.

A3: The Seer is in the Pharos' lower levels. Teleport to the Pharos and go to the first level elevator lift. In the first level down "Penumbra", you must collect dark orbs from defeating foes in the rooms. Don't bother with the foes in the ring because they don't give you orbs. Now place the orbs in the pedistals in the four rooms. each room requires a certain amount. Once every room has the proper amount then the next floor opens up from the elevator( Note: don't use too many orbs or it will cancel out)... then the next (do the same as in the 1st floor... then the next. In the penumbra you must defeat Pheonix in a hidden room before you can fight the Seer. When you clear all three floors with black orbs and the pheonix is defeated an unknown floor will open up. The seer is waiting for you there.

A4: When you enter the Pharos at Ridorana after obtaining the hunt, touch the elevator in the entrance hall, it will give you the option of going to the penumbra. Go in, and you'll be mobbed by monsters, you can either fight them or run. In any event, go to the top-right door and go in. Fight your way northwest and you will reach a room containing the Phoenix, one of the monsters the Seer summons to fight you. You have to kill it for the Seer to even appear. After defeating it, head back to the triangular room. You'll see a pedestal in the corner and it will ask for black orbs. There's one in each corner room. Go fight monsters and collect the orbs. insert them into the pdestals until the pedestal emits a large light orb. Once all four rooms are lit, the elevator will let you descend one more level. Do this on three floors, and you'll find the seer. Also: Ixion appears randomly in the Penumbra once you activate the hunt.

Q: How do you find the sword of kings?

A1: You get the sword automatically later in the game, its not that powerful as a weapon though.

A2: The Sword Of Kings is a required key item and kan only be found in the Tomb of King Raithwall. Just komplete this part of the storyline and you have it. -Vamp

A3: Face all the little statues towards the big one at the entrance then go to the kings chamber this will then be open but then arm yourself as you will then be in for a fight with that ice shivra thing

A4: Get trough the entire dungeon, turning the statues etc.... then the collosus should put his sword a bit higher, DO TRAIN TO LEVEL 45 ON ALL CHARACTERS BEFORE YOU TRY TO TAKE THAT PATH!!! if you are, go to where you had to touch the sword of Judgement, it should be in the air, go trough the door and defeat Matheus, he is quite strong, so I suggest to get alot of Hi-Potions, Phoenix downs and alot of level 3 mists, even though mists are not very effective.... I used a 12 combo and he only lost a quarter of his health....

A5: No, the people who just answered your question are thinking of the DAWN SHARD. To the the SWORD OF KINGS, it is a key item in the STILSHRINE, which is south of Mt Bur Omisace. This is, after all, something you will get one way or another, since its part of the story. -Answer by:SkyeWinters

A6: I ran through the place. Somehow I managed to beat the green crystal. I used quickenings to beat all the bosses here. -Answer by:FFobssesive

Q: Ne one doing the hunts. after you kill the wraith and talk to the kid who has been hiding in the room, you're able to go inside and on the table u find a letter. Says something about a item split in 4 peices?? Also says something about turning off the water flow and following its directions to gain the item pieces... I don't rlly have a clue what to do with it.. Anyone know??????

A1: I know bout that too someone was telling me you could get 5 secret characters 4 and 1 that's all in one but he wont tell me how

A2: Its talkin bout this medallion for a sidequest to get the esper chaos, hes hard, no physical attaks allowed wen u fite him.

A3: It has to do with the Garamshyte Waterway. You must first obtain the Sluice Gate Key, acquired after defeating the Flan Mob Hunt.

A4: Yep, he's talking about the medallion sidequest. Its a big long quest. The first medallion is easy to get and the 3 shards can be found around Rabinastre. You get 1 piece of shard by killing Orthos [one of montblanc's elite hunts], 1 is found by talking to people around the city. [first go to old dalan and talk to the hermit guy, then talk to filo in lowtown, next talk to curious woman at the fountain in southern plaza, then a merchant in the bazaar that mentions a necklace, go to yugri's magicks and talk to the sotted imperial, then go find kytes near warehouse #5 in lowtown, go back to yugi's magicks and talk to the imperial again and you'll get the 2nd piece. for the 3rd piece you need to go to the grymsythe waterway. You must have completed the lost in the pudding hunt [petitioned by sorbet in southgate]Start by opening all the gates [all lights off] use the key to close gates #11 and #4, then open gate #11 and shut gate #3, then open gate #4. Walk around to the entrance to gate #3 and look on the ground for a shiny object, that's the 3rd shard. After you've gotten all 3 pieces, go back to the hermit in old dalan's place. He says meet him in the deadlands later. First go to Charolottes Magics in Archades and talk to the hermit guy in there, next go to Old Archades and talk to Otto in the alley of muted sighs. He gives you the moonsilver medallion. Return it to the hermit in Charlottes magics. Now you can go to Nabreus Deadlands an talk to the hermit near the entrance, he tells you to go to a hidden area of the map. Here's where it gets difficult, especially if you haven't completed the Roblon hunt. Go to the slumbermead and in the northwest corner, there is a hidden path not visible on the map, take it. This will take you to The Fog Mutters and then to Overlooking Eternity. In Overlooking Eternity, there are TONS of powerful dead bones. Look out if they gang up on you 3 or 4 at a time, it can be deadly. At the top is Roblon, a powerful mark who is even more powerful with tons of Dead Bones surrounding him. I had to fight 3 or 4 dead bones at a time, leave the area and keep coming back until they were all dead. Kill Roblon and approach the shrine, the 3 hermits will show up and give you 3 medallions. To use these medallions, you must go to the Necrohal of Nabudis. The enemies inside the Necrohal are about the same as in the deadlands, but there are 3 locked doors where the medallions are used and inside are 3 very powerful beasts. The first one is a tiny rabbit named Fury, but look out, he moves about 10 times faster then your characters and once he gets critical he does massive combos that will kill even level 50 characters very quickly. I'd reccomend waiting until level 55 or so to approach him. In the 2nd door is the Humbaba Mistant who is slightly easier to defeat. In the 3rd door is the esper Chaos, a very difficult esper to defeat, but one of the best in the game. like i said, its a long long quest, but worth it.

A5: Hello, that letter is from a sky pirate that died a few days, it means that he splits a medallion into 4 pieces, it is a key to fight 3 bosses in the necrohol of nabudis, here they are: 1st boss: Fury(it can be fought in the door where you put the medallion of knowledge) 2nd boss: Humbaba Mistant(it can be fought in the door where you put the medallion of bravery) ---------when you defeat them, the medallion of might can be used to fight an esper, it is the 3rd boss: 3rd boss: Chaos, Walker of the wheel(can be fought in the door where you put the medallion of might) I can tell you the locations of the medaliion's pieces: 1st: Dalan will give it to some Roh, kenmu guy in his house. 2nd: In the hunt "Crime and Punishment" where you will fight a mark named "Orthos".NOTE: You must be all girls in your party for it to appear. 3rd: In a woman who lost her memory, she is in the fountain....NOTE: Talk to kytes for more details..... 4th: It is in Garamsyth Waterway, to get it, you must first: 1st: open all sluice gates. 2nd: open gates no. 11 and 4. 3rd: then open no. 11 and close no. 3. 4th: last, open no. 4. Then go to the entrance of the no. 3 sluice gate, you should see a shiny object, it is the last piece of the medallion. Go to necrohol of nabudis and open the other doors first, before the door of despair..... WARNING: YOU MUST BE AT LEVEL 75+ TO DO THIS SIDE QUEST..... Thanks, hope I helped!!! -Answer by:finalfantasyman

A6: It does lead to the Chaos esper, but if you do this sidequest be careful! Chaos is incredibly hard to beat. I recommend bubble belts, the highest level armor you can find, incredibly good weeapons, and a good dose of luck. Evcen at a high level (70-85) he can still kill you party verry fast. He's really powerful.

Q: Okay. i have a barrel full of quesions! and im realy, realy, realy stuck... i weak:( Alright, im about to go where im guessing where frans home land is its past the giza plains, which brings me to my first question. i got this hunt to kill this gill sniper thing (i think that what it is) and i dont know where to find it, and how to find it. My second question is how do i level up fast. i alredy got and esper, and i noticed that whoever you assign it to, the experience will doubble, but what about the rest?

A1: The Gil Snapper Hunt: You will be in the Giza Plains during the rainy season for this hunt. Walk around EVERY section of the Giza Plains maps and you will come across a bunch of withered trees. Push the X button, and you will cut them down and they float away. Once you have cut them all down, you go back the south east and there will be a bridge made out the trees that will get you to the secret area where the Gil Snapper is. It only appears there during the HEAVY RAIN. Bansat, the clan guy, is waiting there and will tell you when the weather is right. He also helps you fight in that area. Handy.

A2: You can double gained EXP by equipping an Embroidered Tippet, stolen or dropped from Coeurls in the Tchita Uplands; or bought from shops later in the game. If you haven't gotten that far, I suggest fighting a lot of enemies; especially the Urutan-Yensa at the Sandsea rigs. There are a lot of them in the area and the narrow walkways enable an easy fight and less chance for ambush (just be careful not to cast magic near the Salamand Entites). When you've ran out of enemies, just exit the area and come back after a while; some areas have higher respawning rates than others.

A3: When you say that you got double exp thats only if your wearing embroidered tippet.. when you have three people out and you kill a monster lets say it gives you 3000 exp that 3000 exp is equally split umong all three characters so each character only gets 1000/3000 exp for that monster

A4: With the Gil Snapper the weather changes every real hour you play the game, so keep that in mind. As for leveling up, I used the Paramina Rift to level up and make plenty of gil. There are some skeletons there that drop the 'Sturdy Bone' and it is a good chunk of gil for that point in the storyline. Left the Paramina about twenty levels stronger and quite a bit richer.

Q: I was wondering if anyone knew the best way to beat the carrot and is there any sites that tell where all the hunts are located and how to defeat them? Because I only have a few left and I can't find them...

A1: Cast a bunch of positive status on your party and fight (best combo: bubble/haste). She's not that hard at all. It's better when you have a guest character with your for an extra swordarm. You can also use Oil on Carrot and then use your best spellcaster to hit her with powerful Fire spells.

A2: I say to kill Carrot, keep attacking, then use the Mist Quickenings to finish her off. Otherwise, avoid the Bad Breath. She killed me from Disease, a nasty status ailment

A3: Equip exculibur,zodiack spear,morning star,golden axe what ever u gor and just use physical attacks.escape if u cant kill her

A4: Have plenty of remedies, status healing medicines, etc. And keep someone constantly using Curaja. You'll eventually kill it. (Recommended level at least 45 if not 50).

Q: Wat do I do next when your in guriguen place where u have to use the gigas esper im stuck I dont know wat to do next? pls hlp

A1: You need Belais to open the door. First summon him then go up to the door and a exclamation mark appears push X for Belias to open the door.

A2: Use Belias the Gigas on the door. Run down the long hall in giruvegan to the orange save crystal and use it. Then use the way stone at the opposite end of the hall. You'll see a statue that you'll have to fight before you can advance any further into giruvegan. Good Luck

A3: When you get to the gate summon belias and open the door.You will be in girvugan. When you get in save because you fight a boss next.

A4: You have to go look on your mini map. then, you'll see the (!). go into the, and you'll have to press X. then rotate your camera until you see a CLEAR path (not a snowy path). keep heading in that dirction until you find the next place where you press X like before. Keep doing this until you find the Gigas Gate, THEN summon Belias. Hope this Helps

A5: I'm assuming you're talking about Giruvegan Gate? Because it is the Gate of the Gigas, you will need to make sure that one of your characters has the license to summon the Belias Esper. The character that you choose is the one you want to make sure you are in control of when you touch the gate - but before you touch the gate, you have to have the character summon Belias in order for the Gate to open.
