Zodiac Spear: Henne Mines - The INSANE Method!

[Timerk]

The KO on the Deathbringer only seems to work about 10% of the time for me, but I am very unlucky in games .

[Kuronama]

I had my zodiac spear at lvl 31

Kuronama:

Thank you for your comment.

47th try = No Zodiac Spear.

I'll try again later.

HEY GUYS, NOW THE TROUBLE IS OVER FOR EVERYONE.
JUST MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY BRAWLER LICENSE, SO YOUR CHAR WIL HIT 0
if you have, KISS YOUR SPEAR GOODBYE.

ok, do what i say and everythings right.
make sure you have 2 cronos tears and a nihopalaoa.
go to the henne mines crystal and move to prhase 2 dig.
before entering there, hit yourself 2 times, (make sure you have only 1 character in your party and no guest.)
have your char with nihopalaoa and bring out a chronos tear on himself, and run with the one that hit himself.
move along the spear and run through the first set of abysteels. make sure u have float. the next set can be avoided bij just switching to the stopped char and switch back, doing that all way long.
once arrived put your stopped char in reserve.
make sure you have gambit self attack.

IF THE TREASURE DOESN'T APPEAR RESET YOUR PS2

GET ONE OF THESE PATTERNS AND NO 2 HIT COMBO.

a) A 3 hit combo after about 21 hits. This will then be followed by a 4 hit combo after 29 more hits. Finally, after another 28 hits you will get a 5 hit combo.

b) A 4 hit combo after about 54 hits. This will be followed by a 5 hit combo after a further 28 hits.

c) A 5 hit combo after 82-84 hits

equip your hitted character with diamond armlet and open the treasure. TADAAAAAA a zodiac spear

USE THIS METHOD AS MUCH AS YOU WANT.
I'M NOW ON 4 SPEARS SO KEEP TRYING.

DON'T BLAME ME IF IT DOESN'T WORK, IT'S NOT MY OWN METHOD BUT SOMEONE ELSES

I actually find hunting for loot in XII fun... Got the Tournesol after a day of work or so, and I liked doing it. Got the Zodiac Spear (didn't open the treasures, =D ) as soon as I reached Salica Wood, too. Game was a cake after that. I fear I've screwed myself for the Wyrmhero Blade, though... Can't remember if I already sold my Omega XII badge, or if I never picked it up... I have the badge for beating Yiazmat, but still have to start the fish quest and don't really feel like it.

Not that it matters, Zodiac Spear, Tournesol, Excalibur, Masamune, Formalhaut (or whatever the best gun is called) and the Durandal (or whatever the best 1H sword is called) are good enough equipment for me.

FFXII has way too much rare loot/game/weapons. It's like Square is punishing us for having the audacity to want to complete the game. My girlfriend's save has her up to Omega Mk. XII. She's only missing the Wyrmhero Blade and Zodiac Spear (as she had opened the 4 forbidden chests) but I couldn't be bothered going through the Great Crystal/Giruvegan again after getting Ultima. I don't even want to face Hell Wyrm and Yiazmat after watching (and falling asleep several times throughout) my girlfriend beat them.

[ANGRYWOLF]

that formula to get the spear.Heck one is enough; 4 is too much in my view and unnecessary.

I never got the spear originally because I opened the forbidden chests.I do agree Square was punative with the way they did the chests in this game.

I stopped playing as I found the game deficient, plus with all the criticism I received on other forums for expressing my views about the game I stopped.
I do occasionally feel an urge to pick it up again depsite all the adversity I went through over it.

Getting the spear would be nice and I might try it again at some point.

[Necronopticous]

Wow. This one was pulled from the depths.

[Quindiana Jones]

It's been over 3 years. My money says he still hasn't got it.

[razorrozar7]

where do you get a blood sword?

also......Z spear is not worth its time and effort

its licens is too far away for an all round character
it has no special abilities
and takes forever to get.


try if you want but...............Does KO on weapons really work?

Buy Blood Sword in Rabanastre after Tomb of Raithwall.

By the time you want to get the Zodiac Spear, you've already finished the license board (At least, near-finish). And 150 Attack is enough to show its powerfulness. But I agree, it's not worth it but......completist. I STILL WANT TO GET IT!!!!!

Your last question, Yes.

Blood Sword also drops from the undead Steeling-type enemies (forgot their name) that appear in the Henne Mines. I got two, but by then it was obsolete for me. 9000 gil isn't bad though.

Btw, how the hell does a bat carry around a sword? :O_O:

And yeah... bloody Yiazmat with its 50 million HP...

This ever happen to anyone?

Me: Okay, I've been fighting the bloody thing for six hours. It's GOTTA be close to dead by now.

(Unnoticed by me, Yiazmat casts Reflectga on my party as Penelo is casting Renew.)

Me: :objection:
