Final Fantasy XII - Marks 2 through 5: Thextera, Flowering Cactoid, Wraith, Nidhogg

[Note that Marks or Hunts have no relevence to the main story (aside from the Rogue Tomato at the beginning of the game) and can be accepted any time after a certain hunt or a certain part of the story]

[Also, since my character's levels are in the 40s, the early Marks are rediculiously easy for me to beat and really required no effect at all. Nonetheless, I'll still provide tips for anybody taking them down the moment access becomes available].



#2: Wolf in the Waste
Mark: Thextera (Mutant Wolf)
Level: 6
HP: 380
Petitioner: Gatsly @ The Sandsea (Rabanastre)
Location: Galtea Downs (Dalmasca Westersand)
Reward: 500 gil, Headguard, Teleport Stone

Tips:
-Wait until you at least have three people in your party as Thextera isn't alone.
-Eliminate the lesser enemies to reduce damage taken.
-When its HP is near gone, it may call for more Wolves, so take Thextera out quickly.

#3: Dalmasca's Desert Bloom
Mark: Flowering Cactoid (Rare Cactoid)
Level: 4
HP: 755
Petitioner: Dantro @ Outpost (Dalmasca Estersand)
Location: Yardang Labyrinth (Dalmasca Estersand)
Reward: 500 gil, Potion x10, Cactus Flower (to take to Dantro)

Tips:
-Eliminate the lesser enemies. There's a chance that the Flowering Cactoid will be surrounded by lesser Cactoids and as it takes damage and starts to flee, more surrounding enemies will start to take charge.
-Beware of its 1000 Needles when it's near death as it inflicts 1000 damage.

#4: Waterway Haunting
Mark: Wraith (Ghost)
Level: 9
HP: 5,146
Petitioner: Milha @ North Sprawl (Lowtown)
Location: Overflow Cloaca (Garamsythe Waterway)
Reward: 500 gil, Ether, Gauntlets

Tip:
-Make sure to have Remedies (along with Remedy Lore License 3) as Wraith can cause Doom.

#5: Marauder in the Mines
Mark: Nidhogg (Blue Basilisk)
Level: 10
HP: 6,079
Petitioner: Aekom @ Lhusu Square (Bhujerba)
Location: Transitway 1 "When the path splits into two" (Lhusu Mines)
Reward: 600 gil, Rose Corsage, Balaclava, Great Serpertskin (Extra)

Tips:
-Bring Potions and Antidotes as Nidhogg uses posion.
-Nidhogg recieves a defense spike as its near death. Eventually, attack damage will drop significally, so switch to black magick to finish it off.


Notes:

-Dalmasca's Desert Bloom hunt is requied to start "Patiant in the Desert" side-quest, which in turn, is required to battle the esper, Zalera.

-Waterway Haunting hunt is required (along with another hunt) to face agianst the esper, Cuchulainn.
