This page contains information about the boss Rocktoise in Final Fantasy XII (FFXII, FF12). Read on to know more about the boss fight including its movesets and optimal strategies to beat it.

How to beat Rocktoise

Movesets

Rocktoise Rock Stomp FF12 Elite Marks
The Rocktoise is a perfect challenge for beginners. When the player attacks it, each attack causes a Sap-like effect of shaving points off the character's HP.

Using ranged attacks on it will cause it to cycle Lv.1 Magick attacks on the player. Even a Nihopalaoa / Negative status attack tactic is not recommended, as this beast can cure itself of any negative status effects.

Gambit

White / Black Mage
Ally: any Reflect
Foe: highest max HP Silence
Foe: highest max HP Aero
Ally: HP<70% Hi-Potion
Machinist / Archer
Foe: any Attack

Strategy

Rocktoise immobilized FF12 Elite Marks
It's useful to have a character constantly healing your party-members while attacking. Ranged attacks are more effective to use against the Rocktoise, since his Lv.1 Magick attacks are weak. It's also a good thing to use SIlence Shots while attacking with a Machinist or attack with an Archer while having your Mage cast Silence.

A few more targeted multi-Aero attacks will make it fall fast. Owing to the slow movement of the Rocktoise, it may not catch up with your party at all.
