This is the 243rd video in my Final Fantasy XII playthrough. The party uses the Ageworn Key that the Wyrm Philosopher gave them to open the door to the Hall of the Ascetic in the Sochen Cave Palace. The Hell Wyrm waits within. This battle takes place over five videos. Good accessories for this battle include Bubble Belts, Power Armlets (Immune: Stop), and Ribbons. This boss's regular physical attacks can inflict Death. Highly recommended are the Masamune, which has a high combo rate, and Zodiac Spear.
The boss will change his attack pattern each time it uses Judgment. This ability comes 9 times, and it can inflict Stop. At least one ally should wear a Ribbon or Bubble Belt in case of this ability. The others should wear Bubble Belts to eliminate the need to cast Bubble whenever they are killed and revived. Later in the battle, the boss will begin to use Stone Breath, which can inflict Petrify on an ally. I recommend using Stona and not Esuna to heal this because Stona uses less MP. Later on, the boss will use Invert. Although this is dangerous, it will keep the party rolling in MP.
The biggest problem with Hell Wyrm, though, is its HP. It has over 8 million HP. Too bad we can't stagger enemies in this game like in FF13, or this battle would be over in a minute.
Thank you for watching!
