FFXII Gambits Only Challenge: Bomb King and Earth Tyrant

[9robin3]

Where is then her bill for the hunt ?

Or is it only to go to Eastersand and I will

accept the hunt ?

[9robin3]

How do I return to barheim Passage , then ?

I have defeated both of this guys , at lv34 ,

but as I thought , none of the bosses

'(especially not Earh Tyrrant) had the key !!!

Help...

[jamdown2008]

You need to do Flowering Cactoid hunt. Talk to Dantro after completing the hunt, talk to his wife in Estersand Village, and then do little errands for her which require some time running back and forth and getting things for her. After you do the quest to help the patient that she has in her house recover, talk to the patient to receive the key.

[mrbri9htside]

Can you please tell me where I can get murasame? =]

[jamdown2008]

Purchase it in Phon Coast

[Tackinous]

They both go down really quickly when you've got the right people doing the right things.

[Lonelyandsadman12]

why not just use quickenings???? just hope to god you get torrent or higher (since torrent is a water based concurrence)

[jamdown2008]

Read the title and video description to see why I didn't use quickenings. I'm pretty sure I defeated Bomb King faster than using quickenings.

[DaKrazedKyubizt]

i the elements that the quickenings imply aren't really elements. they're actually non-elemental attacks... or at least i think they are. i'm pretty sure they are. i got a torrent, and it definitely didn't kill him.

[jamdown2008]

I know that. You still didn't read the description, did you? This was a gambits only challenge. No quickenings are allowed.

[DaKrazedKyubizt]

oh... i replied to YOUR comment!! MY BAD!!! I meant to reply to lonelyandsadman12's comment.

[NoodleMoogle]

Still havent defeated those bombs and I'm lvl 40 now!! Although I did beat Tyrant on lvl 28. Is it really necessary to beat him? I killed him to get to the north bank but you could just as easily do the cactus side-quest and that way you get the key to go back into Barheim Passage after its destroyed???

[jamdown2008]

These are all optional bosses. Tyrant was a pointless optional boss and Bomb King has to be defeated if you need access to Nabreus Deadlands or the Zodiac Spear.

[KEVSPR]

What level where ure characters and which weapons did you have to beat king bomb ? im level 30 and he just keeps renew and then hits me constantly with fira ??? any tips ??? CHEERS

[jamdown2008]

In the video, I showed the equipments right at the beginning. Vaan and Basch had Murasame purchased at Jahara. They have water elements that is Bomb King's weakness. Ashe had a Platnium sword and shield. You could use a fire shield to reduce fire damage. Just look at the setup again in the video. Did you berserk two characters like I did?

[KEVSPR]

i,ll go and get marusame, where do i get a platinum sword ? thanx again he really is annoyoying lol cheers

[jamdown2008]

Platnium sword is purchased in Phon Coast. You could just get 3 Marusame, but it's up to you. Good luck!

[omgida]

i'm just wondering, is it even possible to steal from a boss and not have one of your guys just stealing throughout the whole battle? maybe a

foe hp >/= 100% steal but then what if he doesn't steal it by the time the other party deals damage?

anyway, those bosses seemed pretty easy, it just might be possible to beat the game without even opening the battle menu... except for the rex part.

[jamdown2008]

Maybe stealing at hp>/= 50% or 70% will be better.

You know, now that you asked that question, I was trying to figure out the perfect gambit for Gilgamesh and stealing the genji equipments at certain hp.

I'm not even close to the hard bosses/marks yet. So yeah, the bosses in this video were very easy. But the Undying, with his stupid palings, will be hard.

[flak76e]

haha great job on bomb king and Earth Tyrant too!

[jamdown2008]

Thanks! It's a good thing I bought those Murasames to finish him off quickly.

[MoogleBoss]

Haha, he didn't even get to use Renew!

[pretb23]

he uses renew at about 57-58 seconds into the video

[MoogleBoss]

I mean the second time (when he gets killed).

[jamdown2008]

Yes because he's so cheap with that stupid renew.

[MoogleBoss]

Two days ago or so I actually found out the maximum amount of times an enemy can use Renew / Restore is two. This is very good information actually, because I used to think defeating King Bomb without Disease is impossible (Silence does not disable Renew).

[jamdown2008]

You know, I didn't even realize that before. Only two times? That is good to know.

[MoogleBoss]

Yup, just two! It was noted by Split Infinity but I found out about it in Kad's NLB vid (the description to the fight against King Bomb).

[palkey1]

and i have now killed ammdrelich

[jamdown2008]

Congrats! Did you upload the video yet?

[palkey1]

just up

[palkey1]

Bomb King was defeated in less than 1 minute (without my party being overleveled)

me too my axes were doing loads of damage
