    What flaw? I faced the statues towards the blade and it worked for me.

    I am about to go there to do this awesome leveling up trick and I will take a look at the map which is what I think screwed you up. I.E. you took a 2D map that should have been 3D literally and it screwed you up.

    Unless I am thinking of a different part.

    EDIT: Yeah. You looked at the map instead of what is infront your face. The game is correct and you are wrong.

    How so ? Look below, the blade is the blue joystick like thingie. The arrows are the guardians. Not one of them faces "the blade" or even the statue of Mirian



    PS: More maps like this at my Wiki

    Read what I said. You made the mistake of looking at the map instead looking at your surroundings. If the map was at all accurate then that blue arrow would be directly under the other blue arrow and that whole section of the map would be facing the other way.

    Yeah. I made the same mistake too, mostly because the way the map was laid out made me think there were TWO giant statues with a sword to look at.

    Then I started to really think though, and as I went to each statue, I looked around in their rooms. Each statue has a direct line of sight to the big statue in the first room. It was my 'aha!' moment. Course, after having covered the entire place top to bottom three times, I was beginning to get sick of random encounters.

    It should really be a 3D map.

    Some demons are best left in your imagination where they can harm only you.

    I havent touched XII in a few weeks and decided to give it another chance last night, so i tried to tackle the stillshrine of miriam.

    ....

    I am now officially tired of XII. I freaking HATE the stillshrine. Almost the entire time i was running for my life. Stillshrine my ass, friggin statues and faces come to life >_< So now i'm gone back to Prince of Persia 3 and FF IX.

    Final Fantasy XII is a very challenging game. Beating the next boss and dungeon requires grinding, CHALLENGING!! I like these type of game! I'm a training freak, btw.

    Yeah, even after the 100th try of getting the Zodiac Spear in Henne Mines failed, I still want to get it!

    This game requires patience and strategy, that's all. I was surprised that my friend couldn't survive Hell Wyrm at level 70+, but I managed to beat it around 63. Maybe, he lacks strategy and so I ask him to come out with new strategy.

    You may need to level up and/or get better armor.

    Armor and weapons make a big difference XII. Just leveling up is pretty useless if you don't do the hunts that enable you to buy better stuff for your players.

    I don't know if anyone else's answers solved your problem but here's my thoughts on the matter. Being involved with anything for as long a period of time as 10 hours a day for several days in a row is bound to leave you with a burnt out feeling sooner or later. I would say if you are like me and enjoy immersing yourself with the little things like chatting with the NPC's and making sure your character's are equipped and performing to your preferences...things like that; take a break from the game and devote your thoughts and energy to something different for a while. Then come back to the game after a time. I too will sometimes get carried away with daily play-times and for me, this is what cures that stale taste that can sometimes emerge.
