Guide to defeating Vyraal in final fantasy xii. This hunt rewards 3500 Gil, Halberd, Aegis Shield, Viera Rucksack, and Dragon Scale.
Walkthrough
- 1Speak with the Viera Wayfarer at Balfonheim Port: The Whitecap to accept the hunt.
- 2Travel to the Cerobi Steppe, specifically The Northsward area. The Viera Wayfarer will join you as an NPC (non-player character) and provide buffs.
- 3Head north from your arrival point in The Northsward, past the windmills, to find Vyraal.
- 4Vyraal has 106,616 HP and is weak to Wind. It can inflict Confuse and uses Haste and Immobilizega magicks. Its technicks include Fireball, Lunge, Magick Barrier, Restore, and Sonic Fangs.
- 5Equip Bowline Sashes to mitigate Confuse.
- 6Consider a party composition with a Black Mage (using Aeroga) and a Bushi (wielding Ame-no-Murakumo) as a tank. A Shikari with the Zwill Crossblade or a White Mage are also viable options.
- 7Cast Decoy on your Bushi and have them lead the way to Vyraal.
- 8Apply Protect and Bubble buffs to your Bushi.
- 9Once engaged, switch to your Black Mage and cast Blind and Silence on Vyraal.
- 10Use Aeroga spells to deal damage.
- 11Be aware that Vyraal may flee when damaged and return with restored HP. It can also use Magick Barrier to defend against magick attacks. If this happens, switch to a physical attacker like a Shikari or equip a melee weapon to your Black Mage/Monk.
- 12Vyraal attacks instantly when near death and ignores your Evade stat, so prepare to endure its assaults.
- 13After defeating Vyraal, the Viera Wayfarer will thank you and you will receive your rewards.
