Final Fantasy 12 PS2 Q&A

Q: At the shine of meriam how do u get past the big ax looing thing it says that only the 3 chosen can pass and all other will be shuned?

A1: There are three statues on the bottom floor at the stilshrine. You can only see 2 at the start (the one on the left, and the other at the bottom). You must kill a boss to get access to the statue on the right. Anyways, you must rotate all three of the statues, so that they are facing the ax monolith in the middle. In otherwords, turn the statue on the left so it is facing East, turn the statue on the right so it is facing West, and the statue at the bottom to be facing North. WHen you do that, the eyes light up in the ax monolith statue, and he lifts it up for you to pass through it. Best wishes killing the boss behind there. If your guys are level 22 or better, you should have no problem.

A2: When the door opens behind you go there then where you put the stairs down you go throu the other side and face all the stachuse towred the big stachue then it will open

A3: First you touch the first flame on right side and the first one in the last one one the right to slow in do and then cast slow spell and hastas one the party and began

Q: How do u get the ferry to come back?(estersand,south bank village)

A1: You get the ferry t come back later on in the game when you are on the other side when you see none is on the other side then you will need to go back to the Eastersand and the ferry willl be there but this time use the ferry to go back to where you came from... Hint:be sure your at leas level 30 or 40 monsters on the other side are TOUGH!!!

A2: It's easy, there is a sub-quest there that you have to accomplish right? find the cactus dran, right? he can be found in the back of the house of dantro's wife thre is a sign like this when you aproach a buried flower, "dran?" get it? hope it's helpful!!!

A3: Do you mean, you have already done the sidequest to save the boys dad, took the ferry north, and now your in south trying to catch it again? Or have you even done the sidequest. If you haven't done the sidequest, you can only start that once you have receieved the dawn shard. If you have already done the quest and the boat has been left on the north side I would reccomend teleporting up north past the north shore and walking back to the boat at the north shore.

A4: When you complete the Mark Hunt for Cactuar Flower for Dantro in the camp area south of Rabenastre, he will ask you to take the flower to his wife in the village north of him. The village is next to the river. Once you have done that, his wife will ask you to return to Dantro for some salve. When you bring the salve back, she will ask you for some flower dew which is across the river. The ferry will have drifted back to the South Shore without it's operator. Talk to the boy and he will offer to pilot the ferry to the North shore where the flower dew can be found north of the village. Once you do this, the ferry will be open for the remainder of the time you need it.

A5: After you get the dawn shard go to the outpost in the easter sands (were you did the flowering cacatar hunt ) talk to the one guy sitting on the box he will ask you to bring the flower to his wife who is taking care of a injerd traveler go talk to her and then you will see that a kid by the dock with 2 people talking to him go their and they will ask you to go with the kid .

Q: What area is carrot in in the salikawood?

A1: Near the entrance of Salikawood. But you must not kill anything you see. That Viera from the clan hall would be there to help you, so you should get a little help. But I strongly suggest you not fight the Carrot if you can't handle Exodus. (If you found Exodus.)

A2: It's in the Southwestern section of Salikawood where all you would encounter are docile bunny-like enemies and nothing else. You should find the Viera clan member at that section; once you've met up with her you'll know you're in the proper area. DO NOT kill anything there, and if the mark didn't show up, just keep exiting and reentering until it appears.

A3: Near the area with the saving crystal, go to your left, and DO NOT kill anything. O.o The viera will come to help you, but I'm telling you it's not normal. It's TOO big if you ask me. And I agree with the guy before my comment, don't fight Carrot unless you have a good idea on how to kill it

A4: Hes at the sunlight pathway section in the woods but do not kill anything along the way I suggest turning of your gambits.

A5: You literraly have to kill no monster in the Salikawood not just in the area with the vierra. If you do exit the salikawood and run to the area where the vierra is . She will tell you if Carrot is there. If it is not there keep running in and out of that area until she says it is there.

Q: How can i get the key to open the door of hell dragon?in the Sochen Cave Palace.

Examine it and you'll meet the Wyrm Philosopher and in exchange for the Dragon Scale will give you the Ageworn key which opens the door in sochen cave palace.

Q: Where can I buy burning bow etc..?

A1: Hey there friend, I am not sure that you can buy the Burning Bow, but I did find it outside of the Babbling Vale, in the Mosphoran Highwaste. In the Babbling Vale, there are a bunch of Shrines, that look mechanical, and have water flowing from them. If you go up to a shrine, it offers you the option to touch the Shrine or do nothing. You must touch the following 3 shrines: Shrine of the Northeast Wind (found in the Northeast of the Babbling Vale), Shrine of the East Wind, and then Shrine of the Southeast Wind When you exit the Babbling Vale on the top right, you go upward and then immediately to the left, to go up a rock face. You will see that there is now a path to go over to another rock face. When you go over there for the first time, you will see a Worgen which has berserk on it. Kill the Worgen and look around the area for a treasure chest, and in there you should find the Burning Bow. That's how I found it.

A2: The burning bow can be purchased from the merchant in the Hunt Camp on the Phon Coast. -Answer by:Vic

A3: Do you know the monstrous bird(i forgotten it's name) in the dalmasca westersand? it has lv.30! defeat it and there is a chance for you to get burning bow you're looking for. i've tried it my self and i swear i get burning bow from that bird! -Answer by:AngelLover

Q: Hi guys, alrighty so im down at the Pharos SubArea and got down to Bf2 now in a walkthrough it says that there is supposed to be a Ultima Weapon that you can find, problem is I cant find it I looked in all rooms but all chests I find (even with a Diamond Armlet equipped) contain Knot of Rust do chests spawn randomly? or should they be there where the walkthrough says they are?

A1: There is only a certain % chance that the chest will respawn and contain what you want and sometimes the chests won't respawn and you'll have to leave the area and try again.

A2: Yes I have found it,n u guess what,i did not equip diamond amulet to obtain it, I did try with diamond amulet and I also got either gills or knot of rust,and dont miss the treasure Ribbon at B3 at Northwest room.

A3: The other great treasure down there is the ribbon which is immune to just about everything. you dont have to have the diamond armlet either. really the only thing the diamond armlet will do down there is get you more gil.

Q: Zodiac Spear: I know about the chests you must'nt open. The question is: Where, can I get the information about that in the game ? I've seen this in many walkthroughs and guides, but is there in-game info about this somewhere ?

A1: No there are no hints to this, its put into the game just because of the players out there that feel the need to open every chest in the game. The only chests in FF12 worth opening are really hard to get to anyway, deep in caves.

A2: The game doesnt tell you anything about it. i got my info from the strategy guide

A3: Nowhere in the game. Just DOnt Touch Those 4 Treasure Chests. The Second I Got To The Nabris Of Nabudis Wtv, At Lvl 40 I Ran Passed All the Monsters, Stopped To Heal, GOt The Spear, And RAN BAck Outa There, The Hardest THing ever to DO, I bet im the Only one WHo ever got the Spear at LVl 40 :-)

A4: I've got a screen shot on my digital camera of my equip menu, lv.36 holding the zodiac spear :D

A5: You can find it at the necrohol of nabudis...... where you fight with that coward spirit...... oh, you can also do this earlier in the game, too. my boys lvl was 25-30 when I obtained this baby...

Q: I dont know what happened but when I was fighting in the Sochen Caves someone casted haste on all six of my people and ive tried forever at getting it off. I thought there was a magic that could get it off but I cant find anything and its supposed to be temporary but its been on for about six hours now. So if anyone could please help me I would very much appriciate it.?

A1: Are you sure it wasnt one of your accessorys or weapons doing it or armor

A2: First, why would you _want_ to get it off? second, they wear off after time

A3: Check your armor and accessorries... you might have something equipped that has haste on it.

A4: Wow a haste spell that doesnt end hmm sounds like I would want my chracters to have this glitch (at least thats what it sounds like) but if you really want to get rid of that status effect, you would need an item called "chrono tear" . I think you could also use a remedy if you have a remedy 3 license on the person using the remedy to cure them of that effect.

A5: First off I think you mean slow but (hast is good) if not guest cast slow on your self and wait for that to ware off and counter clock wise if you mean slow

A6: Casting dispel on yourself works for any time status effect as well

A7: I found a possible glitch in the game. I left my game paused over night with four characters having the protect spell cast on them. When I returned the next day I continued to play and found that still 7 hours into it, (having saved and turned it off multiple times at this point) my four characters still have the protect status on them. I wonder if it is the same thing. I'd rather not try it again in case it goes away. My characters have died and been warped away and still always come back with protect even when all other statuses go away, not even dispel magics take it away. Chrono tears are only good for dispeling stop and no remedy license will get rid of haste. The only thing that might work is casting slow or try recasting haste on them to possibly overwrite the glitched haste. Joe -Answer by:MightbeCloud

A8: You can use dispel or dispelga on your whole party. I have a question of mine: ARE YOU HAPPY THAT "HASTE" WAS IN ALL OF YOUR PARTY AND IT NEVER REMOVES??? If I were you, I will don't remove it. -Answer by:finalfantasyman

A9: This is a blessing from the final fantasy gods! DONT REMOVE IT!

Q: Ok im really confused on this... I can't get the windmills to activate. How do you activate them? Also At windmill #10 how do you get the Wrym Philosopher to appear?

A1: To activate the windmills, you have to talk to the moogles sitting on them.

A2: In order to get the Wyrm Philosopher to appear by Windmill #10, you need to have defeated Vyrral (who drops a Dragon Scale, which is then traded to the Wyrm Philosopher in exchange for an Ageworn Key, which opens up for the Hell Wyrm boss battle in the "Hall of the Wroth God" in Sochen Cave Palace {8,500,000 HP, yes 8.5 MILLION HP}) -Answer by:Koishii

A3: The windmills will activate after you get the Ageworn key from the wyrm philosopher, to get it finish the hunt for Vyraal then you will get a dragon scale, go to windmill no. 10 and give it to the wyrm philosopher and you will get the key,it is a key to fight hellwyrm in sochen cave palace's secret place, Hall of The Wroth God, becareful Hellwyrm's HP is no just 8.5M, It is more than that, I have faced hellwyrm myself just remember to level up first.His HP is like this, each box is 2M [============================] ********************************* Hope I Helped!!!:-) -Answer by:finalfantasyman

A4: You should beat Vyraal. Then just go to number 10 windmill. The moogle can't fix it then the wyrm philosopher will come out. You may have to go further on in the story but not to bahamut as that is the end of the game. -Answer by:FFobssesive

Q: Y can I not equip long bows to character other then Fran when I have learn there licence? I have 3 long bow and I can't use them any reason y thank very much. I'm reminding you I have learn there long bow licence.I have the same problem with other weapon to?? All my characters are lv around 30 each please help thank you. FF freak :-).

A1: Do you have quivers for the long bow? You have to equip ammo with bows and guns.

A2: 1. Check your licence board again. It may be a licence for a bow, but not the -spesific- type of bow that you actually have in your inventory. Each square represents only one to four names (not kinds) of weapons/accessories/magic/technicks -- make sure that it's the exact licence that allows the exact equipment to be used. 2. You may not have enough ammunition to go around. Each character needs an ammo (bolts, shots, arrows) when they're equipped with a ranged weapon; when you only have one quiver of onion arrows, for instance, only one character could equip a bow. You may have three bows with three licence-learnt characters, but with just one corresponding quiver of arrows, the other two characters won't be able to equip their bows. 3. Many of the melee-type weapons in this game is wielded two-handedly. This means that once you've equipped a melee weapon with the sign '2H' on it (greatswords, katanas, ninja swords), you won't be able to equip anything else (shields) on your other hand. If you try to equip a shield, the two-handed equipments would be annulled and you won't be able to equip them until you've gotten both hands free.

A3: You need ammunition also

Q: Where can I find the other espers? How many Espers can I find in this game? I already have the story espers, adrammelech and the vampire Z....

A2: The others are quaqucha somthin garasmith waterway ultima,zodiark(strongest),chaos,zeromus,exodus, -Answer by:basch8777

A3: You get a few in the storyline, and some in areas that you pass thinking 'what do I do here'? But I don't think you need to go after the extra espers until after the Archades area at least. I waited until after Ridorana to go after the last 7 because they are really strong and they will KIll you quickly. Bubble belts are handy.

A4: There are 13 Espers Namely Belias, Mateus, Shemhazai, Hashmal, Famfrit, Zalera, Zeromus, Cuchulainn, Adrammelech, Exodus, Chaos, Ultima and the last Zodiark. -Final Fantasy Girl
