poaching in chapter 1

[greymon138]

Oh, Nelveska Temple huh? Based on a walkthrough of FFT(i forgot what the link is), it is where you fight worker something and it is where you can find the Escheoteonnn and Javvvelllin 11 and Nagarockck and Naruto Knife right? I'm already in chapter 2, beating That IMPURE KING Quaklain(duck!!!). Am I near nelveska temple?

[BG-57]

That's the one.

You won't be able to do this subquest until chapter 4.

Poaching Question...:
Where can I poach a Hyudra, Hydra, Tiamat, Uribo, Porky and Wildbow without breeding them. Is there a place where I can find them and poach them?

[BG-57]

END in Deep Dungeon after defeating Elidibs. You'll encounter all three Hydra types, Porkys, and maybe Uribos. Wildbows have to be bred; they never occur normally as enemies.

[greymon138]

Oh, deep dungeon eh? Then my only problem is the wildbow to get a FS bag( i still can't get one. I already have 10 ribbons......) Thanks for the answer. Now I'll just have to go to that dungeon.....
One more question:
Who is this Elidibs? What does he look like? Can you recruit him? Is he strong? What items can I get after I defeat him?

[BG-57]

This will spoil several surprises:

(SPOILER)
1) Elidibs was the most brilliant wizard to come out of Magic City Gariland and a great hero of the Forty Years War. He's meditating in the bottom of Deep Dungeon. He somehow got a noncanonical Zodiac Stone: Serpentarius.

He normally appears as a blond beared wizard with slightly curly hair and the typical cloak and pointed hat. When he lets the stone possess him, he turns into a sullen giant wearing a snake like a boa.

2) No.

3) Yes.

4) The biggest prize is not an item, but a spell. He'll cast a summon spell called Zodiac, which is the most powerful in the game. Any Summoner that gets hit by it and survives will learn it. This is the only chance you'll get to complete the Summoner spell collection.

Basically you have to lower the faith of your Summoner so the spell does less damage. Innocent will not work here.

Serpentarius targets characters other than Ramza, so for Ramza to learn it he has to stand in range next to another character that is being targeted by Zodiac.

I suggest letting him hit an generic Summoner. Later on, with some trouble, you can teach Zodiac to the rest of party.

[greymon138]

Oh, Ok.
I guess I'll have to check Elidibs myself. And I will beat him/her. Anyway, thanks for telling me where I can find the rare monsters.............

[BG-57]

Make two saves right before you take him on. There's something that's easy to miss the first time you fight him. I mentioned it among the spoilers. But try to fight him first.

You're welcome.

[greymon138]

eh? What's that? Is it the Zodiac thingy?

[BG-57]

Yes.

[greymon138]

Oh. I heard it is the ultimate summon of a summoner right? And I also heard that ramza as a squire can learn it. Is it true?????

[BG-57]

It's all laid out in the spoilers, how to get Zodiac. EDIT: I removed the spoiler tag from that part.

As for Ramza's Squire, the ability he can learn is Ultima. From Celia, Lede or an Ultima Demon.

[greymon138]

Oh, just the ultima eh?(I learned this ultima, accidentally.......)
One question:
How can I attack my allies with that Zodiac? I know all summons(for enemies) will only hit enemies and never allies..

[BG-57]

Yes, just Ultima. In a way Ultima and Zodiac are the FFT Blue Magic, which is traditionally learned from enemies.

The tricky part about teaching Zodiac is that you can't cast it on allies. You have to get in a fight against a summoner, lower their Faith, then hit them with Zodiac so they learn it.

You have two options at this point:

1) Wait until they cast Zodiac on your summoner.

2) Kill them and there's a 50/50 chance they'll turn into a crystal when they die. You can learn Zodiac when you run over the crystal.

I haven't tried method #1, but method #2 works well if you're patient. One combination of random encounters in Terminate in Deep Dungeon includes two summoners. Good luck!

[greymon138]

Oh, thanks for the tip! I'll try doing that.
So that means I can't learn the Flare2 and Bios? I have been wondering about these skills which only enemies use....
