Final Fantasy XII Walkthrough - Sky Fortress Bahamut

There are NO save crystals in here! So the game data you had prior to coming here was your final save. Cast both Haste and Protect on your party before proceeding any further. Also, it is not a good idea to wander around, since there's a big possibility that you'll find yourself engaging swarms of Imperials. And they'll just keep coming too.

Anyway, from your arrival point, turn left into Bulkhead 3. In the next area, take the first split going right (north) to reach the Catwalk. Cut-scenes. Once you regain control, go along any of the paths leading to the center circle. Once there, veer left past the zone line, and into the Central Lift.

You should be safe now. So take the time to run around in circles to restore MP, heal up, etc. When you're ready, operate the lift controls nearby to get the elevator moving. Cut-scenes. Boss fight.

Boss: Judge Gabranth

HP: 70719
LP: 25
Weakness: N/A
Steal: Elixir, X-Potion, Hi-Potion

Again, the Sage Ring accessory is highly recommended for this battle. First Cast Haste (Hastega recommended) and Protect (Protectga recommended) on your party, then Dispel on Gabranth. Cast Blind on him as early as possible. It may take a few tries before the status hits. But once it does, Gabranth shouldn't be much of a challenge.

He'll cast Renew on himself when his HP drops to 50%. This will fully restore his health. Whatever status you inflicted on him will disappear too. So recast Blind immediately. Set your gambits to "Foe: nearest visible -> Blind" for your convenience.

His defense greatly increases as his HP goes even lower. I suggest increasing your healing gambits' threshold to HP < 70% or even 80%, to survive his brutal sword combos, just in case they hit.

Again, run around in circles to regain MP, heal up, etc. Once ready, engage the lift again to go further up. Cut-scenes. The last 3 boss battles of the game follow. Take note that you won't have the opportunity to recover MP in between the next 3 battles, so be sure to equip the Sage Ring accessory if you have it.

Boss: Vayne Solidor

HP: 76755
LP: 0
Weakness: N/A
Steal: N/A

Larsa will assist you in this battle. He won't help much, but still it's better than no help at all. Cast Haste (Hastega) and Protect (Protectga) on your party. Then inflict Blind status on Vayne. You should be able to easily defeat him once the status takes effect.

Boss: Vayne Novus & Sephiras

HP: 104210
LP: 0
Weakness: N/A
Steal: N/A

It's Gabranth's turn to aid you in this fight. As usual, cast Haste and Protect, along with Bubble and Shell on your party. You may opt to take out the 5 Sephiras first, to make things easier for yourself. Set your gambits to automatically remove Immobilize with Esuna. Vayne's offensives consists mainly of level 3 elemental magick spells, so having Shell on at all times is a must.

Just hammer away at Vayne, or even cast spells such as Scathe, Scourge or Flare. Make sure your HP stays above the halfway mark at all times.

Final Boss: The Undying

HP: 228299
LP: 0
Weakness: N/A
Steal: N/A

This is it. The final battle of the game. Recast the usual status enhance- ments on your party if they have worn off. (Remember to cast Shell and Bubble) You might want to consider using Bravery and Faith on your characters as well. This battle will drain your MP real fast if you don't have the proper equipments and augment abilities. (Equipment: Sage Ring. Augments: Channelings, Martyr, Inquisitor, Warmage.) It is very important that you keep your MP levels up, since it holds the key to winning this fight.

If the Undying becomes immune to physical attacks, hit him with powerful magicks like Flare, Scourge or Scathe. If it's the other way around stick to using physical attacks. This boss uses "Piercing" level 3 black magicks very often, so make sure you have Shell on at all times.

Better yet, set up your top 3 gambits to cast Haste, Protect and Shell automatically, once the status wears off, or if Undying removes them with Piercing Dispelga. (Ally: any -> Hastega / Protectga / Shellga) Once The Undying's HP drops to 25%, he'll cast "Perfect Defense" on himself, making him immune to both physical and magick attacks. There's nothing you can do about this, other than to wait it out.

At this point I would suggest casting status enhancements on your characters, so that the boss will focus on removing them with Dispelga, rather than attack you. Once the barrier dissipates, continue your offensives until you defeat him.
