Final Fantacy 12 Tips and Cheats

[Miss Lockheart]

I'll get onto that one as soon as I can, my mum didn't mention them but I'm sure she knows how to deal with them. God it's annoying me that I can't give the advice myself, I haven't gotten nearly that far

MidgarFanatic mentioned about using Quickenings to finish them off. This would be a good idea if you can get a good Concurrence, which would deal damage to all of them, making them easier to pick off one at a time. I remember using that tactic for the ones in the Sochen Cave Palace, so maybe it will help this time around. But yeah I'll definitely try and get some good advice for you ^^

Ah, and I found out how to locate Omega, Zotar. Hehehehe my mum's nowhere near that yet!!! You've probably already figured it out, but I'll post it anyway

1. Find and touch the Aquarius Gate Stone.
2. Run to Way Stone XVIII to get to Gate Aquarius I, touch it.
3. Find and touch the Capricorn Gate Stone.
4. Run to Gate Capricorn II, touch it.
5. Find and touch the Taurus Gate Stone.
6. Run to Gate Taurus and touch it.
7. Now follow the only route available via Way Stones XXI, XXII, XXIII and XXIV.

Hope that makes sense to you, it means naff all to me and I'm dreading doing it!!

That helps... along with a map...

Giruvegan Crystal

[Miss Lockheart]

That's a pretty good map ^^

My mum wants to know if you have done the whole Subterra section- she still needs to do Ixion and The Seer, but how the hell do you get rid of all those dumbass toads? And why are there hardly any Black Orbs!?!?!! ~_~

[Zotar]

Here!

The toads are weak against fire... but youv'e got to survive long enough. I charge in there with Hastega, Protega, Shellga, and Bubble, along with gambits set so that the stutus effects are continuosly re-cast when they run out of time or the character(s) are K.O.-ed. Libra helps too so you can see the traps and avoidthem with Float or whatnot. The orbs fall from fiends in the darkened rooms outside the main ring. Google "Final Fantasy Twelve Cheats Penumbria" to find information on exactly how many Dark orbs are required for each Pedistal to dispel the darkness. DO NOT ATTACK THE MAGIC POTS THAT YOU HAPPEN TO COME ACROSS. The foes in the dark rooms are usually weak against Holy but the spell casts too long to cast. Get the Excalibur sword from The Great Crystal (using the map) and use that. The pheonix is no trouble. I found it in the dark and beat it with ranged weapons. The seer is another matter but when you use google you'll find out how to find and kill it. Ixion appears sometimes where all those toads should be. I found it after I killed the Seer. Thats pretty much it.

I just tryed to beat Omega.

Im at Level 80 and did'nt stand a chance, even with bubble belts. It deals 5000+ damage each attack. It also occasionally inflicts beserk when it hits making survival and revival by magics rather difficult. Itts elemental weaknesses change when ever you fid one, it then absorbs any other element. I tryed running a distance away with out leaving the area and managed to get a break occasionally. But it heal whenever you're out of range. Wheww!!! lots of training to do....

[Miss Lockheart]

Thanks for the Subterra info ^^

Wow I'm dreading ever getting that far, Omega sounds like a beast and a half!! Keep me updated on how you go with it, I haven't even seen a picture of it what does it look like?

Oh, and the mandragoras, yep. My mum says they appear in the Feywood in the section above where Behemoth King appears (meh don't know why she didn't mention it in the first place). The worst part is keeping up with them, they apparently tend to run around a lot and get you muddled anyways, my earlier advice seems to apply, concentrate on picking them off one at a time. Also as mentioned lots of times before, bubble belts are your best friend, use them lots ^^

[Zotar]

Oh, Omega looks like a more beefy version of a Mimic queen. Rather disapointing, I was expecting a dragon. *Gloom*

I never even seen the Feywood Mandragoras. Is there a trick to finding them?

[Miss Lockheart]

It only mentions them briefly in the guide, and I get the feeling they don't always appear. To get Behemoth King to appear you have to kill all enemies in both areas of the Feywood where the pagodas are, right? They apparently appear in the first pagoda section. But I've not seen them myself, and I only found out recently from my mum that they exist, I didn't even know she'd fought them!

[Zotar]

And now we enter the realm of speculation...

hmm....

[Miss Lockheart]

Indeed. But if Penelo says she's fighting them, and my mum said she fought them, can't really question it

[Penelo]

I did it guys! I have defeated the Behemoth King and those awful Mandragoras and, this time, it was really easy getting rid of the Mandragoras. I think my problem before was that I didn't think about positive status effects, but I did this time. I set up gambits to continually cast hastega, protectga, bravery and bubble on my characters (all at level 70). Defeating the Mandragoras was a breeze but Behemoth King took a while because he has such a massive amount of HP, but I persevered and I brought him down! Yay! By the way Miss LockHeart I've been to all the Subterra levels and defeated many foes. It's a great place for levelling up and you can also obtain the Ultima Blade in one of the treasure chests there. Tell your mom that if she's looking for Black Orbs, single ones appear after you have defeated every third foe. But in some of the rooms there are massive orbs just sitting there for the taking - some of them have 50 orbs in them so you can light up all the pedestals. Ooooh I love this game it's brill! Anyway keep on playing you guys.
