Most Difficult Dungeon…?

October 22, 2007, 3:42 AM

If there’s something I fully enjoyed in FFXII, it was the amount of challenging dungeons it had to offer and in my opinion, their among the best series thus far.

So, which dungeon (lol, there where a ton of them) did you find to be the most difficult getting through and why?

I have a couple, actually. But I’ll respond with mine later after hearing some other opinions.

The Barheim Passage for me. I liked that part where you had to go across the mines and to your right there was this view of distant structures across a dark sea. I thought that was awesome.

You can't say much about the variety of monsters down there though. There were like what? a ton of toads and bats...that was it.

I'd say the Pharos, probably because it was so long. I remember getting through the first ascent and thinking "Holy crap, there's more?!" I didn't really find any of the bosses or puzzles that challenging though.

The great crystal in Giruvegan was kind of difficult to navigate after finishing the storyline part.

I got stuck in Draklor for awhile too. When I was trying to open the way to the elevator, there was this one door that I neglected to go into because I didn't notice it on the mini-map. I wandered around forever trying to figure it out, deemed it impossible and then finally noticed the door that I missed.

The hardest dungeon would be the henne mines secret area for me :/
Abysteels dealing 2k damage a turn, force you to equip bubble belts. Not to mention that the etems are bloody annoying when they cast annul, reducing mp to 0.

For me it was Stilshrine of Miriam. I was underleveled so it was hard passing through the gang of headless, bombs and beating that horse creature. But the bosses were easy.

for me it was the pharos subterra abyssal and the umbra. thoes freakin undead with all of thoes aliments comming at me at once my remeides couldnt keep up most of the time. but it wasnt too hard once i got a ribbon

also the henn mines pahs 2 was kinda hard with thoes hesteyes always putting confuse on my charaters while casting mlutiple thundagas.

ohhhhh the annyoances.

I kept venturing into the Zertinan caverns underlevelled and it drove me mad. I quite liked it down there once I was FINALLY strong enough I accidenatally stumbled across an esper aswel (I wasn't using the guide so I wasn't expecting it) so I was quite pleased with that.

I hate the pharos more than i hate Monday mornings in work

the pharos were the most tedious and obnoxious dungeon ever put into a final fantasy. the monsters were hard and annoying to kill, there were tons of them, and it was ridiculously long. the next hardest was probably raithwall's tomb.

Lol are we talking about storyline-dungeons? If not then why isn't anyone bringing up the great crystal and Henne mines secret area?
