The Zodiac Spear For Final Fantasy VII Tips

Zodiac Spear is the strongest weapon in Final Fantasy VII, but it is not useful if it is not correct. It may not be easy to imagine. This article reveal tips on how to get the Zodiac Spear for your final fantasy character.

Tips on Getting The Zodiac Spear For Final Fantasy 12

Author: Ahmad Abdullah
If you've been playing Final Fantasy series on your PS2 for a while, you must have had the urge of upgrading your characters' weapons as soon as possible. Having the ultimate weapons is a dream for every Final Fantasy player. Although it is not crucial in winning the game, it just feels great to have the best weapon for every character so that killing every enemy will be a breeze. In Final Fantasy 12, the last installment of the series on PS2, the strongest weapon happens to be a spear named the Zodiac Spear.

There are two ways to obtain this weapon. One method can be used to obtain it at quite an early stage of the game, while the other requires you to wait a bit longer.

For the first method of obtaining the Zodiac Spear, there is a rule that you have to follow or else you this method will not work. You must not open four specific chests from the beginning of the game until reaching the Necrohol of Nabudis where the spear is located. The four chests are:

1. The chest in front of Old Dalan's place at the southern end of Rabanastre Lowtown.

2. The chest in the Rabanastre Palace Cellar. Do not open the one at the southeast corner of the map. There will be either one or two chests that may appear there. To be safe, don't open any of them.

3. The chest in the room at Nalbina Dungeons where you regain all your equipment back. There are more than one chest in the room so to be safe, just don't open any of them.

4. The chest at the eastern-most section of the Phon Coast. There are 16 chests there arranged neatly near the shore. Don't open any of them.

After you've resisted the urge to open these chests, the next is finding the Zodiac Spear which is located in the Necrohol of Nabudis. At the early stage of the game, do not fight any of the enemy here or you'll die instantly. The strategy is to run as fast as you can while evading any of the attacks.

Once you enter the Necrohol of Nabudis, run for your life until you reach the Cloister of the Highborn. You can check the map to know where you are. From where you come in, take a right turn and then the next left. Run along a corridor heading north then take the first left. There should be 16 chests in this room, one of which contains the Zodiac Spear. The Zodiac Spear chest is the second chest from the left in the first row. If the spear is not there, you must have opened any of the forbidden chest mentioned earlier.

Remember, this is a one time opportunity only. If you have opened any of the chest mentioned before, you will never get the Zodiac Spear this way.

The other way of getting the Zodiac Spear is extremely difficult and time consuming as you rely on the chances of the Zodiac Spear appears in a chest in Henne Mines. The chest has a 10 percent chance to spawn, a 10 percent chance to contain an item and 10 percent chance to contain the Zodiac Spear. So theoretically, you're facing a 1/1000 chance of getting the Zodiac Spear from the chest.

If you're the unlucky ones to miss the first method, then what you need to do is to defeat 10 espers and complete the Mineflayer hunt. Then speak to the Geomancer in Jahara to have someone open up a secret area in Henne Mines. Get to the Phase 2 Dig area and look for an area not shown on the map. The chest can either be there or not. If it's there, equip diamond armlet before you open it to be able to get the Zodiac Spear.

It is obvious that opting for the first method is much quicker and easier. If you're into perfection and love to collect all the weapons in the game, then obtaining Zodiac Spear is a must. Killing all enemies can never be easier with this weapon around. Good luck in obtaining this excellent equipment and enjoy the game as never before.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Description

Seven years prior to the events of FINAL FANTASY VII — The Shinra Company is rapidly increasing its influence through its monopoly on mako energy and military might. With the burgeoning city of Midgar as its base and symbol of prosperity, Shinra is on the verge of establishing absolute dominance over the world. SOLDIER is a group of skilled combat operatives within Shinra. The elite within the group — those strong enough to be deemed SOLDIER 1st Class — are respected and idolized by the citizenry. Zack is a young SOLDIER 2nd Class who aspires to become a 1st. He spends his days carrying out assignments under the guidance of his 1st Class mentor, Angeal. During an operation in Wutai, a large number of SOLDIER members, led by 1st Class operative Genesis, go missing. The severity of the situation prompts Shinra executives to deploy even more SOLDIER operatives in hopes of bringing an end to the war with Wutai—and conducting an investigation into the mass desertion. The ones assigned to the mission are Zack, Angeal, and the 1st Class hero who is known the world over as Sephiroth... What truths lie behind Genesis's disappearance? What secrets bind the three SOLDIER 1st Class operatives? For Zack, a cruel and fateful struggle awaits...

Customer Reviews

A Great Prequel

I can't believe I am the first after weeks of this game being released to make a review!

Nonetheless, here we go.

This game is amazing for a portable game. The graphics and sound are just far above what you expect when you think portable gaming and they actually tied the story to the original well too.

Gameplay: The Gameplay is top notch. Not only do you explore towns, talk to NPCs and have the Final Fantasy experience you would expect, but there are also side missions that act as a quick fix incase you don't have enough time to actually focus on the story. You can play these whenever you find a save point and they serve as a nice way to get you some extra potions and experience. Interactivity is similar to what you would find in the classic game as far as finding items by exploring the environment and seeing unique sights because you were curious enough to explore every nook and cranny. There are even side missions like having professor hogo making you face huge monsters in an attempt to kill you because you disturbed him. The Story is what shines the most in this game, and it is by far one of the most engrossing stories of the series.

Graphics: This game seriously looks like the first Kingdom hearts on the PS2. Their facial expressions and animations are the best you can find on a portable system to date. This game could be ported to the PS2 and considered to have gorgeous graphics. The CG scenes are on par with Advent Children.

Sound: The Voice acting is actually pretty good, and the music from Final Fantasy VII that was redone for the game isn't bad either, but the new music to the game is pretty forgettable. I honestly can't stand the shinra building's theme, which feels like it is 10 seconds long and just set to loop. This is one of the game's biggest strengths and downfalls at the same time.

Replay Value: You could speed through the story and still expect hours upon hours to be spent doing side missions. The story itself takes a good amount of time to beat. Expect to invest maybe 30 hours into this game.

This game is a fantastic deal. Expect to have a blast with it and you wont be disappointed.

SPECIAL NOTE: There are some things to this game that you might want to take into consideration. I started playing this game on my old PSP then early into it bought the new model. The difference is HUGE. The load times on the new PSP are cut not only in half, but takes the load time from up to 18 seconds at some points to maybe 3-4 tops. There is also a very low amount of blur when Zack is running around on the screen on the new one compared to the old one. The new screen is brighter, higher refresh rate and the load time on the new one is way shorter. The new PSP is almost a must for this game otherwise load times will destroy the experience.
