FFXII Gambits Only Challenge: Final Boss

You will never believe this match with the final boss. I was shocked at how quickly the Undying went down without putting up perfect defense. WTF? Undying defeated at level 38 with only three characters. I didn't even use the reserves. Talk about total pwnage.
This could have easily been done at lower levels also with all augments completed and strongest store bought equipments and abilities.

Gambits only challenge originally by Sparkster185

Rules and regulations:

1. This challenge would allow the player only to set/execute actions via gambits. Once a battle has started, gambits cannot be set/adjusted/removed/etc. The battle is "in progress" when the players have their weapons drawn.

Exceptions to the "no combat menu" rule:
(contributed by vierna_foxglove)
* Change the party leader in case of a K.O.
* Take out all 3 reserves (without manually arising the KOed chars)
* Take one reserve and let his/her arise gambit work on 2 of the fallen characters
* Summon Belias once

2. Adjustment to gambits can only occur at save crystals and once you get to a town. That means you need a solid gambit setup for an entire dungeon, but you'd still be able to tweak them before/after boss fights.

The following restrictions are as follows: (Similar to DCHLB challenge)
-No Zodiac Spear or any other powerful weapons that are only created in the Bazaar until Pharos
-No Barheim Key until Balfonheim Port
-No Dustia trick
-No powerleveling

3. You are allowed one new gambit slot every 6 to 8 levels

4. No Quickenings or Espers (except summoning Belias once). They can only be activated for the MP boost


OPTIONAL RULES

A. No Nihopalaoa Accessory

B. Level restrictions: (contributed by palkey)
1-10 after Burjerba
11-20 Raithwall's Tomb
21-30 before Elder Wyrm
31-40 after Judge Bergan
41-50 Draklor Laboratory
51-60 Pharos
61-99

C. One gambit every 10 levels. (contributed by Emaylic)

D. You can NEVER change your gambits. You can add new ones and reorder them, but you can never get rid of old ones. That way, you'd be very limited as to what you could do (Do I add a "Cura" gambit, or hold out for Curaja?). (contributed by Emaylic)

E. For an extreme challenge, try to beat the game by ONLY using "Foe: Attack" and "Ally:Cura" Gambits. This means you are only allowed to use two gambit slots. (contributed by Jedisensei)

F. No Bazaar items and/or hunts.

G. "3 character max" aka, "No swapping" (contributed by EMaylic)

Do you have a judge that is also ur ally?

[jamdown2008]

Gabranth becomes an ally in the end, but that's it.

[jamdown2008]

In Nechrohol of Nabudis, you can go to the secret merchant and purchase Maximillians. You get Deathbringer in Balfonheim weapon shop after completing Pharos. Other equipments can be purchased in Balfonheim and Barheim Passage after getting the Barheim key.

Cool video. Just what I was searched for too, heh heh. Nice job =)

[registrationesandres]

where did you get scathe if you are in the pharos part??

[Attemptingtohelp]

You get Flare/Scathe or both in the Barheim passage. It is blocked after you fight the mimic queen. So you have to do the side quest to open it again. The magics can be bought from the marchant in the room where you replaced the blown fuse. The other one, Ardour could be bought in from the secret marchant in the necrohol of Nabudis. And both marchants only sell the magics and good equipment later in the game. (Past the Phaoros at Ridorna I think)

i thought that was basch in gabranths armour, cuz dont u kill gabranth?

[Rebirthsouls]

it kepts renewing on me... but then i killed it in 5 seconds after leveling and getting the ultima blade not i have the toursenol and excaliber... i wonder how long it would take to kill it know... guessing 3 seconds lolz

[hazydreamer45]

Where can you get the Zodiac Spear and when and how can you get Flare,Scathe and Ardor???!

[evilanimemonkey]

I thought the undying was actually a decent challenge...

[jamdown2008]

Do quickenings before it does Renew or when its HP is really low. Also, it only does renew 2 to 3 times and then quit. You can eventually defeat it if you are still alive or strong enough to do so.

[ScarletElectra]

I keep trying to kill that King Bomb but it renews too many times and it calls for help :( I WANT A ZODIAC SPEAR SOOOOO BAD!!!

[chibyelol]

you can also get renew before going to bahamut event in dalmasa westersand

[jamdown2008]

I chain a lot of weak enemies while having the Golden Amulets equipped for double LP.

[lob31]

"Your lives are forfeit, and your insurgence with them. Dalmasca will again know order. For good and all, I shall bring your futile attempts at rebellion to an end." Does he have to sound like a robot when he says this?

[r4747h35h4d0w]

All that animation sequence for nothing. When it came down to it, Vayne dropped his sanity and died.

Nice Video.

[kmoosomin]

whats the barheim key?

[yalda1994]

thx! =]

[jamdown2008]

Zodiac Spear is obtained after defeating Bomb King in Salikawood. It is located in Nechrohol of Nabudis dungeon. You can check sephirosuy's map on gamefaqs dot com to see the exact location.

[jamdown2008]

No, the gambits allowed me to walk.

[hahahampus]

[hahahampus]

[vincentssj4]
