Many negative statuses work on this mob, recommend get a Nihoparaoa accessory and a Remedy with all 3 lores learned, you're able to take him down easily even you're at low level (below 30) is no problem as well. Make sure Dispel him before you use this trick. Dispel him again if later he recasts support spells.

Must prepare Esuna white magic and Haste is recommended as well. Set Gambit for curing negative statuses with Esuna, also prepare Echo Herbs to cure the healer in case if he/she got Silence. There's a dangerous move from this mob when it's low HP, Balance. This spell deals damage according to the different of caster's max HP and remaining HP, let say if it cast Balance when it left 2559 HP, and its max HP is 22559, so the result would be 20000 damage! And the amount of damage send to all targets in the area. Either you have to use Mist Knack/Quickening to finish it off before it casts Balance, or sacrifice a character to close combat, and other two characters stay in a distance with range weapon attack, so the Balance would on damage on the close combat ally. Make sure to revive as soon as the Balance has been casted.

This mob only appear during the sand storm. Lot of HP but not that tough, the problem is Ring Wyrm can restore its HP, so even if it couldn't beat your team easily, but you still need to have enough power to kill it as well. Recommend fight this mob when your main team characters are above level 30. First of all, kill off the enemies around, just to avoid them from bothering this long battle. Since Ring Wyrm mostly use its normal attack, and seems to focus on one target normally, so other characters can support and heal, also means Blind works well for your advantage, cast Protect spell on your characters as well.

Prepare some Hi-Potions and Gold Needles, you will need these items for this fight. Kill everything in the North Bank (North-East section), exit and return to find them. Can say they're the toughest hunt of this rank, recommend your main team characters are over level 15. When you return to this section after clearing the monsters, you will probably see Chickatrice
alone. If you have Disable spell (buy from Rabanastre), try send it at the beginning, if it's missed, exit and re-enter for another try. Needless to say, you should defeat them one by one, attack as much as possible before the Cluckatrice has detected your location. It's easier when Lamont/Larsa is in you team.

'-------------------------------'-----------------------'

After story reaching to Phon Coast, camp section, back to Mosphoran Highwaste only you can find this esper. From the Gate Crystal section:

- Prepare some Gysahl Green.
- Activate the South-South Wind Shrine, it's South from the shop.
- Now you can see an exclamation mark in the map screen. Go North-East from the Gate Crystal section.
- Give a Gysahl Green to the chocobo so you can ride it.
- Cross over the exclamation mark to West by using that chocobo.
- In West area, activate the West-West Wind Shrine there, then push down the rock beside can back to Gate Crystal section.
- Activate North-West Wind Shrine which is around the shop.
- Now you can see two more exclamation marks in the map screen, they're aroundWest area, cross over them will reach to the arena.

Can't use item for this battle. He has around 100,000 Hp, always like to cast Reflect. One way to delay him is let one of your character always Dispel his Reflect, so he will keep recasting it back, then use other characters to hit him. Just beware of Collapse/Scathe spell which can damage all your characters,

he know to cast Flare and has absorb HP attack as well. Sometimes, he will build a magic barrier when he was Critical HP.

Since he loves to play with Reflection, if you got some stronge magic like Scourage, Collapse/Scathe, why not you play Reflect with him. Cast Reflect on your party, cast Collapse/Scathe on your party. So now you can see even you're facing an only target, but your spell can strike more then once time on the opponent, depends on how many active characters you have, each of characters reflect one strike of the spell. And do remember not cast Curaja and other support spells on your team, otherwise they will be sent to your opponent,
however, equip Opal Ring for the character who's going to cast these spells can still works as normal. This trick works with other spell which can damage all enemies, and of cause it works on many other enemies, bosses fights which I didn't mention.

Necrohol Of Nabudis

Chaos - Walker of the Wheel

Mist Lv : 3
LP Cost : 90
Zodiac : Taurus
Element : Multi
Location : Necrohol Of Nabudis

Before you can fight Chaos, you have to go through some little quests and get the apppointed keys. First of all, go Nabreus Deadlands to trigger the scene with Ma'Kleou. Afterwards, you need to obtain three fragments, below is the way for them:

- Clear Wraith (rank E), White Mousse and Orthros (rank A) Mob Hunt missions.
- Return to your client for rewards with the first fragment from Orthros mission, Blackened Fragment.

With Sluice Gate Key which get from the reward of White Mousse hunting mission, back to Garamsythe Waterway, so that you can control the panel. In the central control section, you can see some spheres there which are the panel of 3rd, 4th, 10th and 11th area waterway. To not be confused, light off all panel for first, then follow the steps below:
- On No.11 Area Panel. (thats mean light up the panel)
- On No.4 Area Panel.
- Off No.11 Area Panel.
- On No.3 Area Panel.
- Off No.4 Area Panel.
- Now go around South in the same area and find the shiny object on the ground which is another fragment that you need, Dull Fragment. NOT in the South section, it's still the semi-circle!



If it's any wrong step you did, just light off all panel and start again.

- In Rabanastre Downtown/Lowtown, head to Old Dalan's Place at South, talk to Roh'Kenmou near Dalan.
- Still in Downtown/Lowtown, around South-East area, talk to Filo.
- Go Rabanastre central section where known as Southern Plaza, talk to the Curious Women who's looking at the fountain.
- Now go Bazaar section and speak with all merchants there and ask about the Necklace things until you get the answer.
- Head to Magic shop and talk to the Sotted Imperial, the only soldier sitting in the left corner, choose first option twice.
- Back down to Downtown/Lowtown and talk to Filo, choose lets go with Filo to return to Magic Shop for some events, you will get one more fragment after the scene, Grimmy Fragment.

Before leaving for the next quest, back to Old Dalan's Palce in Downtown/Lowtown, pass all three fragments that you get to Roh'Kenmou, and he would disappear.

- Since you had already met with Ma'Kleou, now go to The Imperial City Of Archades.
- Within the Magic Shop, talk to Roh'Kenmu.
- Move on to Old Archades West section, talk to Otto at the corner for the Moonsilver Medallion.
- Return to Imperial City Of Archades, pass the Moonsilver Medallion to Roh'Kenmu in Magic Shop.

After the quests above, you're getting closer to the esper. Now,
- Go to Nabreus Deadlands and talk to Ma'Kleou.
- Head to North-West section. Like you hunt Roblon (rank S), you have to go through the hidden path. Just go South from the Gate Crystal, following section search the North-West area for the path.
- Go until you see something like monument to get Medallion Of Bravery, Love and lately obtain the Lusterless Medallion.

Now move to Necrohol Of Nabudis, central West area, use Medallion Of Bravery to open the Door Of Horrors, defeat Humbaba Boss/Mistant optional boss. Head to North-East area, use the Medallion Of Love to open the Door Of Loathing and defeat Fury optional boss. Now the Lusterless Medallion become Mighty. Go to the central section, use the Medallion Of Might to open the Door of Despair and battle with this esper.



Use Fury and Humbaba Boss/Mistant as your tests before the fight, if you couldn't handle these battles well, go train some more before fighting Chaos. Attack command was sealed, the worst thing. Prepare your Gambit system focus onto magic and skill uses, Telekinesis (Distance Attack for JP version) skill/ technick is recommended to replace your normal attack, you can buy it from the secret shop there (Nabudis) after Giruvegan event. As for magic, of cause the stronger is better, strongest Black Magic is Scathe (Collapse for JP version) which sell in the secret shop as well, buy it after Pharos at Ridorana if you need it.

Cast support spell on your party, and recast them for the entire battle when they're gone, do remember Faith is to raise up the magic power. And needless to say, Dispel Chaos whenever he has support spells. Take down the 4 elemental Chaos jets before focus on Chaos. Chaos attacks are pretty stronge, recommend equip shield for this battle since you don't use any weapon attacks, unless you're using Telekinesis, so you need stronger weapons to boost up the damage
to Chaos, if you're not using the Telekinesis technick style, just use the shields. Chaos can you Silence, and magics are the main attack for now, you must prepare Gambit to cure Silence all the time. Because of Chaos can absorb the elemental spells, remember just use the non-element spells to damage him. If you have lot of gil, use Gil Toss isn't a bad idea. Beside, you can also
send him Slow and Sap.
