List of Contents

Final Fantasy XII - Stages 81-90

Stage 81-90 gives you Espers who can pose more than a challenge, as well as a surprising cast of allies-turned-villains--Rikken and his scurvy crew turns out to be more than a just a handful to handle!

Tips for Clearing Stage 81

Enemy Information

Zeromus FF12 trial mode Zeromus Aggressive Half-Damage all
The Condemned Esper
HP 166888 ATK 86 DEF 29
MP 999 EXP 0 LP 55
Dark Lord FF12 trial mode Dark Lord Aggressive Holy
Skeleton Undead
HP 16555 ATK 95 DEF 33
MP 999 EXP 6660 LP 1

Tips for Beating Enemies

Zeromus is made harder the second time around in Trial Mode. HIs stage has an active Magicks restriction effect in the battle, and to top it all off, even the relatively minor minions are harder to finish this time around.

The tricky part here is that Zeromus has no glaring weakness. You can either go for him directly and ignore the Dark Lords if you can, or do a Quickening chain for max damage, then ignore him for a while and focus on clearing the Dark Lords out.

Tips for Beating Enemies

As with last time, deal with Silence and Confuse from Chaos' attacks with Echo Herbs or Nu Khai Sands. Use Remedy if you have a lot of those. As for dealing with Chaos, you can fight him using Telekenesis or bouncing non-elemental spells off Reflect for max damage.

If you want to torture him, then you can go the route of using Nihopalaoa + throwing Remedy at him to inflict Sap and Slow, then using Gil Toss to mess with him some more.

MP 608 EXP 14629 LP 14

Tips for Beating Enemies

Decoy and Wither works well in this stage, but cast Haste just to be quick on your Magicks. This could also be the first time you'll be casting Decoy frequently on your party. Reverse is also a good spell to use to deal with the multiple thousand-HP damage of these three Tyrants.

Pirate FF12 trial mode Pirate (x6) Aggressive Wind
Tyrant Dragon
HP 126384 ATK 88 DEF 31
MP 608 EXP 14629 LP 14

Tips for Beating Enemies

Rikken and his crew, along with Elza and Raz, are more than just a fair challenge; each of them can wittle down your party's HP, and they have Reflect on them. A quick Warp Mote at the start works to reduce their numbers, then use Reverse + Decoy. Once THEY start using Reverse, go to work by throwing your best healing potions on them.

Enemy Information

Hell Wyrm FF12 trial mode Hell Wyrm Aggressive Holy
Dark Dragon Boss
HP 1326600 ATK 98 DEF 36
MP 999 EXP 0 LP <0/td>

Tips for Beating Enemies

Remember the Wither technicks you used the last time, along with other spells? That works in this battle too. What's more, the Hell Wyrm's HP has dwindled to just 1 million in these stages, so it is easier to get rid of him this time around.

MP 999 EXP 7305 LP 13

Tips for Beating Enemies

If you set the game to fast and have Holy element-weapons on your best physical attackers, you'll find that this is a quick battle. This is made special because the Mina--one of the strongest Ninja swords/daggers in the game--can be stolen from the Evil Spirit. In the main game, you'll have to steal it from the notoriously-rare Larva Eater.

Enemy Information

HP 1390378 ATK 105 DEF 34

Tips for Beating Enemies

You'll find that the Lightning Fang works like a charm against this beast, who is weak against Lightning-element attacks. Lightning-based spells and weapons will also similarly work great against him.

Enemy Information

Behemoth FF12 trial mode Behemoth King Aggressive Half-Damage all
Elite Rank VII mark
HP 1668491 ATK 107 DEF 35
MP 999 EXP 0 LP 40

Tips for Beating Enemies

Set your White Mage to manual, then have another mage with the Green Magicks Reverse and Decoy work on casting these on your strongest character. A good tactic would be to keep the Behemoth King in a Magick-Immune loop by casting Arise on him once he puts up a paling to become Immune to physical attacks.
