Guide to Barheim Passage (Part 2) in final fantasy xii, including Mimic locations and Skeleton grinding for 19,107G from 99 Bone Fragments.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From Op Sector 37, return to Special Op Sector 3 and head east to a fork. Go south through the new gate into the North-South Junction. This area has a Save Crystal.
  2. 2
    Exit south into the Great Central Passage. A Battery Mimic is located in a side area to the east. Defeat it.
  3. 3
    Search the side area where the Battery Mimic was for chests. Be aware that some colorful chests are Mimics.
  4. 4
    Mimics can use Leech to drain HP and drop an Earth Stone, Eye Drops, Iron Scraps, or a Dark Mote. You can steal Iron Scraps, 20G, or an Iron Sword from them.
  5. 5
    Proceed to the western end of the Great Central Passage. Near a gate with three train tracks, search south of the southernmost track for a normal chest containing an Onion Shot.
  6. 6
    Travel south to the next area, The Zeviah Subterrane.
  7. 7
    In The Zeviah Subterrane, defeat three Battery Mimics. The first is west near a fence, the second is east of the tracks, and the third is found by heading northeast uphill near a light post.
  8. 8
    Abandon the tracks as they lead into water. Continue south on the rocks to find Suriander, a tougher version of Gigantoad weak to Ice. Surianders can drop a Storm Stone, a Horn, a Teleport Stone, or a Horned Hat. You can steal a Storm Stone, Horn, or Antidote from them.
  9. 9
    After defeating the third Battery Mimic, note the passage south to the next area.
  10. 10
    Return to the northernmost part of The Zeviah Subterrane, near the transition to the Great Central Passage. Loot a chest east of the fence for a chance at an Iron Hammer (Axes & Hammers 2).

Barheim Passage Skeleton Grind:

This area is a good spot to grind Skeletons for Bone Fragments and Dark Stones. If your charge gauge is below 50%, around six Skeletons will spawn. The area to the north is small, allowing for quick zoning out to respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death) foes in the Great Central Passage. Avoid the Save Crystal and chest-faking Mimics to chain Skeletons.

Bone Fragments sell for 193G each. A bundle of 99 Bone Fragments sells for 19,107G, providing a significant sum of money for this stage of the game. You can maintain your chain by returning to Burrogh in The Lightworks area without resetting it. Hold [R2] to run through the Barheim Passage in Escape Mode to avoid killing other enemies and do not touch any Save Crystals.

Tips
  • Normal chests are bland in appearance, while Mimics posing as chests are more colorful.
  • The Great Central Passage contains a Battery Mimic and chests, one of which holds the Onion Shot.
  • The Zeviah Subterrane features three Battery Mimics and Surianders.
  • Grinding Skeletons in Barheim Passage can yield a large amount of gold through Bone Fragments.
  • To maximize Skeleton grinding, avoid Save Crystals and use Escape Mode when returning to The Lightworks.

Potential loot includes Onion Shot, Iron Hammer, Earth Stone, Eye Drops, Iron Scraps, Dark Mote, Iron Sword, Storm Stone, Horn, Teleport Stone, Horned Hat, Antidote, Bone Fragments (sell for 193G each, 19,107G for 99), and XP/LP.
