Final Fantasy 12 Durandle Walkthrough
Durandle
Attack: 99
(Most Powerful Single Hand Sword)
Needed Loot.
1. 3 Lifewicks (Necrofiend, in the Pharos, located in Penumbra)
2. 2 Emperor Scales (Archaeoaevis, In the entrance to the Zetian Caverns, from the Dalmascan Estersands
3. 1 Leshach Halcyon: (Leshach Entite, found in Paramina Rift only during a slow storm)
Now, in order to obtain these items you should be somewhat prepared.
When you travel into the Penumbra, you will be attacked by countless LVL 55-58 Bull Abaddon’s and LVL 54-56 Mistmare’s. I suggest beating the game before you attempt this. Also make sure atleast 3 of your party members are LVL 50 and above.
When You enter the Penumbra, It is a HUGE ring. And there are doors about every 20 ft. Now the only way to make the Necrofiends appear is to enter these rooms with extremely high LVL monsters. Including a monster named: High Reavers. They can KO you in a single blow.
These rooms are very dark and you can hardly see. You can slightly illuminate the rooms. To do this, When you enter the room walk straight and you will see a pedestal (you cant miss it) When you kill a monster they drop items called “Black Orbs” It will ask you to place Black Orbs on the pedestal. So do it.
When you battle the enemies, there should will be 3 or 4 of them teaming up on you.
Now it is practically impossible to get a lifewick from a Necrofiend unless u have the Warmage’s Monograph. This lets you obtain rare drops, form Amorphs/Undeads. Since the Necrofiend is undead, you can easily obtain a life wick, about 50% of the time you kill one. And there is no need to chain them.
To get this monograph, you will need to read the Notice Board more than 20 times. Then go to any merchant, go to the Bazaar. And you can buy it for 20000 gill.
Now that you have that, go kick some ass.
Next Item on the list is the Emperor Scale.
This pacific item of loot can only be found in the monster of the caverns. The Archaeoaevis. Once again, like the Necrofiend , the item you need is a rare drop. Therefore, you will need, the Dragoon’s Monograph. Since the aevis is a dragon type. To get this to appear in the Bazaar, you will need to read the bulletin board, more than 40 times. Go to the Bazaar and it will cost, 22000 gill.
Now that you have this. Go to the Eat Gate in Rabnaster, find a moogle that sells maps, and rent a chocoobo. Use the map to find an entrance from the Dalmascan Estersands, to the Zeterain Caverns. When you enter these caverns, a map urn should be visible. Now
when you look at the map you ill see there is a platform its dead center on the map. Go there. There will be 2 aevises. Kill them. If you do not get the scales. Zone out 2 screens and come back. There is no need to chain them since you have the monograph.
Lastly the Leshach Halcyon: (Leshach Entite, found in Paramina Rift only during a slow storm)
Now, these Entite’s aren’t hard to find. First of all you will need a item called, “Theives Cuffs”. You can buy these for 5000 gill, at the Merchant at the Mt. Bur gate crystle. These let you steal rare items from monsters. Now walk around the rift till you see A HUGE white ball. When you do steal from it. If you do not get the item, zone out, and try again till you get it.
Now you have all the items!!! Go sell them to get the Durandle!!!!
