The White Mage can also Cast Stona to remove the PETRIFY Status, but you probably want to conserve MP, so, Gold Needles. Also the White Mage can cast Dispel/Dispellga to remove the STOP Status Yiazmat’s Magickal Attack causes, but a WARNING, it will also Dispel all your BUFFS, so using Chronos Tears is the better option. A White Mage can also cast Bravery (increases Physical Attack Power by 30%) on your main Attacker(s,) which is really good also be sure to use Protectga and Shellga. A White Mage (or Red Battlemage) can also cast Bubble and Decoy. Also, a Time Battlemage to cast Haste/Hastega, Berzerk (or use Bacchus Wine,) Bubble, and Decoy on your main Attacker(s) would be really good. A Shikari paired with Bushi with Yagu Darkblade, (Dark Elemental Ninja Sword,) Black Robes, (Boosts Dark Elemental Damage by 50%,) and the Genji Gloves (Boosts Combo Rate) Equipped would be your best Attacker in this fight (Balthier makes the best Shikari.) Alternatively, a Bushi paired with Uhlan or Knight (for Strength Boosting Battle Lores and Heavy Armor,) with Masamune or Khumba (if Bushi/Knight you can use a Shield with Khumba,) Grand Helm (or your best Heavy Helm,) Lordly Robes (or your best Mystic Armor) and the Genji Gloves would be another great Damage Dealer in this fight (Vaan makes the best Bushi.) Or you can use both to make this fight even easier but that means you will only have one Support Character. As such he takes more Damage from Dark Elemental Spells and Weapons. Which means you can’t use the Holy Spell or Holy Elemental Weapons like Excalibur or Holy Rod, they will actually HEAL him. And you DEFINITELY NEED the Technicks Wither, Expose, Addle and Shear. As for Magicks you’ll want Curaga/Curaja, Rise/Arise, Haste/Hastega, Berzerk, Bubble, Decoy, Protectga, Shellga, Dispel/Dispellga, Bravery, Stona, and Regen. You should have the best kinds of Armors you can get in the Game, at least really good ones, if not the best. As for Weapons you should have Yagu Darkblade and/or Masamune or Khumba. You’ll also need AT LEAST one Genji Glove. I recommend that you get and Equip a RIBBON (makes your Character Immune to Status Effects, like STOP, PETRIFY and SAP) on AT LEAST one of your Characters, your Support Character, like your White Mage, if you can manage it. Also he can cause PETRIFY Status, so you’ll need Gold Needles. Chronos Tears are also needed because Yiazmat’s Magickal Attack, Cyclone, causes STOP Status. Phoenix Downs, all kinds of Potions and Ethers, and Bacchus Wines are good. Make sure your fully stocked up on Items for this fight. Your Levels simply cannot be, “TOO HIGH,” for this fight, even if Level 99. I would recommend all your Characters be AT LEAST above Level 70, but optimally should be higher. You can find Yiazmat at Ridorana Cataract in the Coliseum. The Clan Provisioner is Montblanc the Moogle in Clan Centurio so once you Accept the Hunt he will give you the details right away. Still Yiazmat has of 50 MILLION HP!! In order to face Yiazmat you first have to have completed Pharos and every other Hunt in the Game and also have defeated the Hell Wyrm.

In the Zodiac Age he has been significantly nerfed and the Battle could take about half an hour, maybe a little longer, maybe less. This Guide will cover good/best Character Set Ups and a viable Strategy to defeat Yiazmat, the ULTIMATE ENEMY!! In the ORIGINAL FFXII this fight could take HOURS and HOURS to beat. Yiazmat is the ULTIMATE Super Boss in Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age.
