The Zodiac Spear - Page 2

I never got the Zodiac spear, but I did avoid the treasure chests because the guide I was using told me to xD

It's a pretty sly way for the game to be like "Ha! We screwed you over! Remember that potion you got from that chest? Well that stopped you getting the best weapon!"

I'm a treasure hunter, I see a chest I get it so I don't have it but after seeing my mate use it I now one thing, it's not worth the trouble.

There is actually more than one place to get a Zodiac Spear, so if you got one of the chests that are connectedto the main location, you can still get it.

Its in a chest in the Henne Mines Phase II Dig. The chest only appears randomly, and there is only a 1% chance of it giving you a Zodiac Spear, but its a reappearing chest, so you can get 6 Zodiac Spears if you really want to and have the patience... not to mention a shit load of money, as the chest has a 90% chance of giving you around 10,000 gil.

Way to repeat what has already been said

And unless you're a really high level, there's safer ways to make money. You don't wanna aggro a ton of enemies just rushing in trying to get money and then get trapped by them.

seems a bit crazy you have to restart for it ... but w/e. I think you just need to get a gameguide sometimes cause it saves hours of frustration. and the ffxii has some good pics if you get the limited edition

There should have at least been some kind of warning riddle not to open certain chests! I think its a big flaw to make one of the most powerful weapons unattainable to someone who doesn't use a guide... cos let's face it no one is going to work out leaving specific chests alone is going to grant them access to the spear!!!

You might get it completely by chance if you miss those chests but you still wouldn't know why you got it without looking up a guide.

Rookie error SE.

Lucky its not the BEST weapon.

It's still a great game though

I can't get it anymore, except in the henne mines...

The game never told me about it.:(

I knew from the start about the whole Zodiak Spear deal with the chests. Even before beggining the game I looked in a walkthrough so I avoided those chests like the plague. It's a good weapon but definitely not the best. Though Basch looks so good with it and his victory poses with it look great XD

The Zodiac Spear was an Ok weapon it's strength was worthwhile but not worth the trouble of getting it. The weapon itself isn't all that impressive either but it has been extremely helpful throughout my game. Another thing about the Zodiac Spear is that you can get it in the Phase 2 Dig of the Henne Mines well according to the official guide that is I've never actually found it myself has anyone else found it in the Henne Mines?

yeah, i was pretty annoyed when i got the zodiac spear. I didn't think it was all that good especially with all the trouble you had to go through. Not opening certain chests etc.
