Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings Walkthrough - Chapter 08 - Ivalice

Mission 8-1 - An Irresistible Opportunity - Dalmasca Estersand

Clear out all the enemies guarding the nearby summoning gate, and capture it afterwards. Once that's done, summon some additional espers. Then take out all the enemies closest to your soul crystal. Capture the other gates too if you can. Fortify your espers and replace the dead ones.

When you're ready, march forward into enemy territory, taking out any opposition along the way. Wipe out the enemy troops guarding the soul crystal then smash it to finish this mission. Also, it is a good idea to focus on defeating the enemy leaders first, since doing so will keep the remaining espers from going after your soul crystal.

Mission 8-2 - The Secluded - Giza Plains
Mission Rewards: Embroidered Tippet

Esper	Type	Elmnt	Weak	Resist
Atomos	Flying	Earth	Fire	Earth
Infernal Wolf	Melee	Fire	Water	Fire
Quetzalcoatl	Ranged	Thndr	Earth	Thndr

The most important thing in this mission is to not allow any of the 3 probable informants to get killed. The other yellow dots on the map are White Hare espers that will heal either you or the informants if needed.

You can try to defeat some of the hostile espers, but don't bother getting rid of everything. Instead, head straight for the soldiers and talk to them. The guy you are looking for is located at the northwest portion of the map across the bridge. The mission will end once you get to him.

Mission 8-3 - Ye Who Rest - The Paramina Rift
Mission Rewards: Auracite, Silk Coat, Winged Helm

Esper	Type	Elmnt	Weak	Resist
Vampyr	Flying	None	Heal	None
Zombie	Melee	None	Heal	None

Eliminate the horde of Zombies and Vampyrs. There may seem like there is a whole lot of them, but the truth is they are very easy to defeat, since they have rather poor defense. Simply capture all the summoning gates to keep the enemies from respawning. The mission ends when all the enemies are eliminated.

Mission 8-4 - Last Will and Testament - The Glabados Ruins
Mission Rewards: Auracite, Black Mask

Esper	Type	Elmnt	Weak	Resist
Balasa	Melee	Fire	Water	Fire
Bomb	Flying	Fire	Water	Fire
Djinn	Melee	Fire	Water	Fire
Ifrit	Melee	Fire	Water	Fire
Lamia	Ranged	Fire	Water	Fire

You will not have access to any espers here. Bring along 2 melee characters and 1 flying type, preferably Llyud. Also, having both Penelo and Kytes in your party is a must. Don't forget to set Kytes' gambit to Blizzaga too.

Clear enemies and press the switches located on both sides of the area to open the huge gates. A group of enemies will appear each time you unlock a gate, so be prepared to eliminate them. As for the red switch at the end of the area, go press the untouched switches in the area to complete the red crystal. The switches you can activate should be shining.

Before opening the red gate, change Kytes' gambit to Firaga. Have your 2 melee characters move in and attack Elder Wyrm, Kytes cast Firaga while Penelo stays back to heal your attackers along with your other character.

Back on the airship, talk to your companions if you like. They will tell you that Filo and Kytes are nowhere to be found. So try to launch the airship and your missing party members will come back.

Mission 8-5 - Fighting Back Tears - Roda Volcano
Mission Rewards: None

Esper	Type	Elmnt	Weak	Resist
Bomb	Flying	Fire	Water	Fire
Fire Drake	Ranged	Fire	Water	Fire
Infernal Wolf	Melee	Fire	Water	Fire
Red Flan	Melee	Fire	Water	Fire
Red Wyrm	Ranged	Fire	Water	Fire

All the enemies here are fire-elemental, so water espers are an obvious choice for your army. Do not bring espers that are weak against fire though. Also it is a good idea to include both Vaan and Basch in your battle party, since ther are melee characters. Don't forget to set Kytes' gambit to Blizzaga as well.

Eliminate the first group of Red Flans then capture the nearby summoning gate. Summon some extra espers, especially Leviathan if you brought it. After that, turn back and open the treasure chest for an ADAMANT VEST.

Continue towards the goal, and when you meet the Red Wyrms and Fire Drakes, send your melee units to attack first with the others following closely behind. The other two treasure chests contain an OAKWOOD LOG and a SOUL POWDER.

Mission 8-6 - Wayward Soul - The Feol Warren
Mission Rewards: Auracite x2, Rubber Suit

Esper	Type	Elmnt	Weak	Resist
Alraune	Melee	None	None	None
Bomb	Flying	Fire	Water	Fire
Chaos	Flying	Fire	Water	Fire
Lamia	Ranged	Fire	Water	Fire
Wyvern	Flying	Fire	Water	Fire

Once again, majority of the enemy espers here are fire-elemental. So make sure that your army consists of ranged, water elemental espers that are weak to lightning. Though bringing Bombs is a very smart choice too. For your rank 3 esper, pick Mateus.

Start off by getting rid of the enemies guarding the left summoning gate, then immediately secure it. The northwest treasure contains an ADAMANTITE. Eliminate more enemies to fill up your mist charge if you can. Capture the right summoning gate too if possible.

Once Chaos advances towards you, hit it with all your water elemental ranged units as well as Kytes' Blizzaga magick. When Chaos is gone, you will have to deal with Mydia. Have some flying espers, preferably Bombs head over to where Mydia is and battle her until they self-destruct.
