Start the Hunt Club sidequest in final fantasy xii by defeating Thalassinon and collecting trophies for Bangaa. Rewards include Zodiac Spear and Ribbon.
Walkthrough
- 1Make your way to the Phon Coast and speak to the Huntmaster at the Hunter’s Camp to begin the Hunt Club sidequest.
- 2Your first task is to defeat the nearby Thalassinon. Travel to the eastern end of the Hunters’ Camp to find the area transition leading to The Vaddu Strand.
- 3Fight your way to the eastern edge of the level, then proceed to a beach. Follow an earthen ramp uphill to the east, then south to reach a ledge overlooking the beach.
- 4Wait on the ledge until the large turtle beast, Thalassinon, appears on the beach below.
- 5Head back down the ramp and return to the beach to engage Thalassinon.
- 6Warning: Thalassinon is weak to ice and vulnerable to Sleep and Stop. You can inflict Sleep and pelt it with magick (it’s weak to Wind) or inflict Stop and kill it.
- 7Before defeating it, equip your Thief’s Gloves and steal Adamantite from Thalassinon.
- 8After defeating Thalassinon, you will receive a Shelled Trophy.
- 9Return to the Huntmaster with the trophy.
- 10Speak to the three Bangaa named Blok, Stok, and Atak. They will reveal there are another 30 Rare enemies that drop trophies.
Tips
