Final Fantasy XII Hints IL (PS2)

Final Fantasy XII is a video game in the JRPG series from publisher Square Enix.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Zodiac Spear

In order to obtain the strongest weapon in the game, the Zodiac Spear, you must not open certain treasure chests. They are somehow connected to the Zodiac Spear, and if you open them you can never get the Zodiac Spear. The first treasure chest you must not open is the one in front of Old Dalan's place. It should be the chest nearest to you when you enter Lowtown. The next chests to avoid opening are the ones in the southeast corner of the cellars (when you are doing the mission to steal from the castle's treasury early in the game).

The next chests you must not open are the ones in the Confiscatory after you recover you lost equipment (when you are in jail). The final chests not to open are the sixteen chests all in a group at the eastern end of the Vaddu Strand (in the Phon Coast region). The Zodiac Spear itself is in a chest in the Necrohol of Nabudis.
