Navigate Henne Mines in Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age

AntMag.NET

To progress through the barriers in the Golmore Jungle and reach Mt. Bur-Omisace, you need to find Mjrn. Mjrn is located in the Henne Mines, and the entrance is accessible via Chocobo tracks in the southern part of The Shred. You can reach The Shred by renting a Chocobo from Gurdy in Jahara and riding to the Haulo Green, or by helping a wounded Imperial soldier in Sunlith Path who will let you ride his Chocobo.

Before entering the Henne Mines from The Shred, explore the southern area for treasures. Along the northern edge, you might find a Float Mote. On a middle ledge to the southeast, there's a treasure containing a Green Beret. In the southwestern corner, another treasure may hold a Flametongue.

Walkthrough

1
Enter the Henne Mines. The first enemy is the Seeker, similar to those found in Barheim Passage and Raithwall, but stronger. Its rare drop is a Blood Sword, and its rare steal is Nu Khai Sand.
2
You'll encounter a split path; the eastern one is blocked. Proceed south to a locked gate.
3
Go north slightly to find a blue light switch on a pillar. Activating it unlocks the southern gate.
4
Continue south to Pithead Junction A, a crossroads. From here, you can exit west, or open gates south and east by hitting a switch near an injured Imperial.
5
Hitting the switch also summons Jellies. Jellies are part of the Flan family, resistant to physical attacks. They can use Phantasmal Gaze (confuse), Divide, Aqua, and Poison. Drops include Water Magicite, Yellow Liquid, Teleport Stone, or Float Mote. Steals include Water Magicite, Yellow Liquid, or 500 gil. Poaching yields Yellow Liquid or Flametongue. They are weak to fire.
6
Jellies can be a good source for grinding due to easy spawning, but Pithead Junction A is not ideal. To proceed, exit west (before hitting the switch). For further exploration, take the eastern or southern transition.
7
The eastern path leads to Phase 1 Shaft, which loops back to Pithead Junction A. Enemies here are Seekers and Redmaws.
8
In the southeastern corner of Phase 1 Shaft, you'll find the map of Henne Mines in a green urn.
9
Redmaws are similar to Seekers with the same attacks (Gnaw, Leech, Joyous Soundwave, Self-Sacrifice) but are marginally stronger. Their drops include Crooked Fang, Wind Magicite, Soleil Fang, and Ice Shield. Steals include Crooked Fang, 100 gil, or Taurus Gem.
