[PS2] Final Fantasy XII

Hey guys. Anybody found and beaten the Lv99 Red Chocobo in the Ozmone Plain? Ive tried every darned thing and I got nothing. Its out there, I just dont think there's a set condition to get it to show. Any takers?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I just died after 2 hours of Yiazmat, had 8 bars left no less. It was my own STUPID mistake; Balthier was on Petrify & I (like an idiot) wasn't watching the counter and I had just run out of Gold Needles. So Balthier (who was my healer) freezes, cant get him out of Petrification because I have no more Gold Needles, Vaan and Basch falls from a Cyclone blast, and before I new it my back up characters were killed by Rake (similar to LilGreekKid's 'almost lost it' moment). 2 hours gone, because of a Gold Needle!

Started the fight up again, and after I kill it, all I have left is to do Omega, then buy the Wyrmhero Blade, do the Rare Game Hunt, and level everybody to 99 and finish the bestiary for 100% completion sake. Oh and try and find that darned Lv 99 Red Chocobo..

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Second time round finished Yiazmat in 2hrs exactly. Had battle speed on Fastest, kept Basch equipped with the Masamune while hasted & beserked, Exposed Yiazmat 5 times which dropped his defense down drastically, thereafter every shot I made was 9999 damage. Along with the Genji Gloves, Basch was murdering Yiazmat with all the combos, the longest being 12 hits which happened about 5 times throughout the entire fight. Even Vaan with his Zodiac Spear had a lucky 6 hit combo, while equipped with a Power Armlet nevermind. Classic stuff. All I really physically had to do was Syphon now and again, otherwise I let the Gambits do their thing. Imagine, manually fighting Yiazmat, thats ridiculous!! Oh and by the way I ended the fight this time with 53 Gold Needles. Used Esunaga more cleverly this time.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Even though Yiazmat was the longest fight, I think imho that Zodiark was the most challenging. (STRATEGY TIP) Even though I had Black Masks equipped to absorb his Darkja attack, there were cases when it wasnt always absorbed and instead caused a KO. Near the end he just kept bombarding that spell hardly leaving me anytime to make a move, but I nailed him with a shot of Scathe between every 2-3 casts of Darkja and he fell to his ,umm, "knees".

How ya doing, buddy?

You know, the Wyrmhero Blade is really not all that spectacular considering what you have to do to get it. I got it 2 days ago and its not worthwhile using. Its as if you're constantly in Slow status (and this is with Haste on) because the weapon's charge time is the slowest ever! I thought with its Evasion rate of 50 and attack of 130 I would be better off getting it than trying to get the Tournesol. Oh well, have to get the Tournesol now I guess..

By the way Adol, how did you manage to get the Zodiac Spear before the Golmore Jungle without getting the Moonsilver Medallion from the guy in Archades? You couldnt have got it from the Henne Mines either because you obviously dont have 10 Espers at the point you are now for Geomancer Yugelu from Jahara to have opened up the passage-way to get the Spear, of which you would have died in from just one shot from those darned bats. So?

I was speaking idiomatically.
