Guide to The Westersand in Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, covering enemies like Dive Talons and Gnoma Entites, loot locations, and the Dustia hunt.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Galtea Downs: This area outside Rabanastre contains Wolves and Cactites. The main objective here is to kill twenty Wolves to progress towards Rare Game. Look for a chest in the northwestern corner that may contain a Cotton Cap. After completing your kills, proceed north to the Corridor of Sand.
  2. 2
    Corridor of Sand: This looped area features Cockatrices, Urstrixes, Wolves, and Dive Talons. Loot can be found by following the southern boundary cliffs north, then west, then south for a chest possibly containing Onion Arrows. Continue north, then east to the eastern lowlands; southwest of a tapered rock pillar, against a cliff, a chest may yield a Broadsword. Follow the cliffs south, then west to find a Steel Gorget.
  3. 3
    Dustia Hunt: In the Corridor of Sand, Dustia can be lured out by having a character with under 10% HP, or by letting enemies like Cockatrices damage your party. Dustia has 7,000 HP, uses Dark magic, and is weak to Holy. It can be killed with a Phoenix Down, but is beatable with standard combat. Drops may include a Book of Orgain or Flame Staff. Steal a Book of Orgain-Mille and Poach for a Pebble or Capricorn Gem. Avoid the northeastern area due to strong sandstorms. Head southwest to The Midfault.
  4. 4
    The Midfault: Common enemies include Sleipnir, Urstrixes, and Wolves. Dive Talons and Gnoma Entites may also appear, with the latter only in sandstorms. This area contains two loot items along the eastern boundary cliff.
Tips
  • Dive Talons are flying enemies that require ranged weapons, magic, or weapons with reach to defeat effectively.
  • Gnoma Entites only spawn during sandstorms in The Midfault and Shimmering Horizons. They are powerful and will attack if provoked or if magic is used nearby. Avoid fighting them until better equipped.
  • Dustia is an undead enemy that can be killed instantly with a Phoenix Down, but is also a good source of experience and loot if fought conventionally.
  • Sandstorms in certain areas of the Westersand are too strong to navigate early on; return later in the game.
  • Cotton Cap (chance)
  • Onion Arrows (chance)
  • Broadsword (chance)
  • Steel Gorget (chance)
  • Book of Orgain / Flame Staff (Dustia drop)
  • Book of Orgain-Mille (Dustia steal)
  • Pebble / Capricorn Gem (Dustia poach)
