How to Defeat Magick Pot

The Magick Pot is a strange enemy that is also considered the strongest, if the player does not know how to deal with it. Read on to find out how to easily beat the weirdest enemy in Final Fantasy XII (FFXII, FF12).

The Magick Pot

The Magick Pot can be found in the Subterra, the exact location being at the North of the Penumbra and Abyssal areas and South of the Abyssal and Umbra areas, respectively. This is no normal enemy; it boasts of the highest concentration of License Points in the game dropped when defeated.

Another area where the Magick Pot can be fought is in Trial mode, where it comes along with a group of Hecteyes.

How to Defeat the Magick Pot

The Magick Pot isn't easy to figure out, at first. But veteran players might already know this trick.

At first glance, the Magick Pot is just standing there. Be careful not to engage it first--you have to wait for it to ask you for an Elixir.

It will jump around in joy once you've given it what it's asking for. That's the time you hunt it down. Make sure you steal back the Elixir that you gave it, and then, chase it down. In Trial mode, you can have a character focus on the Hecteyes while your main attackers focus on the Magick Pot.

Magick Pot with Elixir

It is easier to face off against the Magick Pot if you've given it an Elixir. It will jump around the room and, in the case of the Penumbra-Umbra-Abyssal Magick Pot, it will spawn undead as it jumps around. Clear the area of any extra undead first before tangling with the Magick Pot.

In the case of the Trial Mode Magick Pot, you can choose to just focus on the Pot alone, or take care of the Hecteyes by exploiting its elemental weakness, Bilzzaga, while you chase down the Pot.

Magick Pot without Elixir

If you relish a challenge, you should get ready before facing off against the Magick Pot. A strong tank with Bubble + Haste cast on him / her is key to survival, as well as a Machinist with Bravery + Berserk on, because the Pot (un-Elixired) has very strong armor and can wipe your party out if you're not careful. Alternatively, you can use Shear to shave points off its Defense stat.

It is not advisable to fight the Magick Pot without an Elixir in Trial mode, but it is still possible, although you have to have the strongest weapons and gears equipped on your party.
