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			Aggressive			Half-Damage all
			The Condemned			Esper
HP	166888	ATK	86		DEF		29
MP	999	EXP	0		LP		55

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 Clearing Stage 84

Enemy Information

Chaos			Aggressive			Earth
			Walker of the Wheel			Esper
HP		ATK			DEF
MP		EXP			LP

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.

Pylraster			Aggressive			Fire
			Greater Tyrant			Rank VII Mark
HP	493513	ATK	104		DEF		29
MP	675	EXP	0		LP		36

Abelisk			Aggressive			Ice

Terror Tyrant			Aggressive			Wind
			Tyrant			Dragon
HP	126384	ATK	88		DEF		31
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.

Tips for Clearing Stage 86

Enemy Information

Rikken			Aggressive			Fire
			Greater Tyrant			Rank VII Mark
HP	493513	ATK	104		DEF		29
MP	675	EXP	0		LP		36

Elza			Aggressive			Ice
			Tyrant			Dragon
HP	105424	ATK	86		DEF		29
MP	588	EXP	13941		LP		13

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.

Tips for Clearing Stage 87

Enemy Information

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.

Tips for Clearing Stage 88

Enemy Information

Disma			Aggro or Not			Element
			Specie 1			Specie 2
HP	198752	ATK	102		DEF		33
MP	999	EXP	7593		LP		18

Forbidden			Aggressive			Holy
			Zombie			Undead
HP	18044	ATK	100		DEF		36
MP	999	EXP	6667		LP		1

Evil Spirit			Aggressive			Holy
			Ghost			Undead
HP	121852	ATK	102		DEF		27
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.

Tips for Clearing Stage 89

Enemy Information

Fafnir			Aggressive			Lightning
			???			Dire mark
HP	1390378	ATK	105		DEF		34
MP	999	EXP	0		LP		39

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.

Tips for Clearing Stage 90

Enemy Information

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.
