Found that its much easier to farm the Death's Head from the Dark Skeletons that spawn in the Icebound Flow in Paramina Rift. I picked up like 5 Death's Head just by hitting them on my return trip from Karydine Glacier while I was farming Damascus Steel from Anchag. Usually about 3 Dark Skeletons spawn in Icebound Flow, they will sometimes drop Death's Heads and then I reset Karydine Glacier by heading into the Feywood then coming back to Karydine Glacier. Also, a Dark Skeleton does appear in Karydine Glacier as well so that adds an additional chance to pick up a Death's Head. For the Leo Gem I just kept hitting the Shield Wyrms in Cerobi Steppe. The drop rate is pretty low to be sure, but it only took about 30 minutes to get 3 Leo Gems once I got a chain going. You can also try to get them from poaching the Bellwyverns in Cerobi Steppe as well, but with that 5% drop rate, it seems to take a lot longer because poaching is a pain.
If you don't have the Esper Fuzz mentions, you can steal Leo gems from the three Aevis dragons in Stilshrine of Miriam, in the room after the room with a blue crystal. You need to move two rooms out to reset these dragons. With a Thief's Cuff, it took me ten minutes.
Aeronite in the Tchita Uplands (Sundered Earth and Uazcuff Hills) also a great place. I was able to get 3 gems in about 2 minutes farming them there. 30% steal with Theif's Cuffs
u can also get it in henne mines , the chest has 25% to appear do this -be in the zone before phase 2 dig -so with rng app find a value between 01 to 24 -get the position before the value - go to get the chest the umbra chest has 5% so values are 01 to 04
In my opinion, I had more luck with the Ash Wyrm. Admittedly, it was a drain on my teleport stones, but in the end I had 16 Leo Gems. I did try and steal from the Wild Saurian though, and I got one successful steal out of who knows how many attempts. I was in the Estersand for a lonnnng time lol. But, it's more than likely different for everyone.
Easier to get Leo Gems by stealing from Bellwyverns at Tchita Uplands, it's a 30% steal. There's a Bellwyvern in the area next to the teleport crystal.
I have a rather tedious habbit I do every game I start, I chain wolves in eastersands. specifically the two zones FULL of wolves and ostriches (ignore the birds to not break your chain) between Nalbina and South Bank. It's tedious for sure but once you get 99 wolf pelts you can sell them to the merchant sitting OUTSIDE of Nalbina for 10k gil or so and best of all don't touch the save stone and you won't break your chain! go back out get 99 wolf pelts in 5 minutes it's that easy! Well anyway I use the money on phoenix downs, hunt Dustia and lvl up some in the midst of all this I make SURE I get the warmage monograph and the monograph that helps wolf pelt drops :) and you really only need to get 99 wolf pelts once, the drops from Dustia will EASILY feed your Phoenix Down buying AND monographs... so. Any more chaining of wolves is just for fun :). than high enough lvl I steal a gladius and use it to kill Werewolves. Chain them WITHOUT entering the village gets you pelts that sell for like 36k per 99. So anyway I suggest investing a few hours doing this before really starting your game you won't regret it :)
I will say though, this remake is a little new to me and it changes the rules a little. You need to make vaughn a shikari to use a gladius which is disturbing as he can't cast blind which you kinda need to kill werewolves at such a low lvl. you could grab Pinelo I guess (you kind of have to to unlock the PDowns any way... but) but that halves your xp. PLUS I'd not fully explored- rather exploited- the schwag you get from trial mode either, just not enough time to play this version but... make due :)
pdraggy Coming from the original FFXII myself, I totally understand what you mean in regard to this iteration of FFXII being progressive and retrogressive at the same time.
For anybody having trouble i found it much easier and quicker to steal Leo gem from Dragon Aevis in the Stilshrine of Miriam it took me less than 10 minuets to steal 4 of them
Ash Wyrm is the perfect place to use the RNG Helper app to determine when you can steal a rare. Since when you come in he doesn't attack. You can use someone with cure to determine where on the RNG table you are and then move until you have rare steal up next. Then just leave to auto save, reload and go again. This allowed me to get 3 Leo Gems in about 10 minutes in Weak Mode without having to kill the Wyrm
Just to add to the Death's head farming in the Golmore Jungle/The rustling Chapel. Which is where you was, if you kill enough the skeleton in the zone you will spawn a Grave lord in which you can steal a Death's Head from him. But I also had a thiefs cuff on so I don't know if its a rare steal or what not. Because It done not drop as easily for me as it did for you. Damn you RNG! But anyhow thanks for the vid! Great Work!
And here I was doing it all the hard way...my friend wouldn’t let me use his strategy guide because he’s a jerk in that area. Doesn’t like people getting an advantage over him in his favorite games, especially anything Final Fantasy and The Elder Scrolls related. Internet wasn’t an option for it was still a retrofitted dialup at the time and was garbage! Alaska is a bit laggy on technology, especially in the rural areas where I live. I remember using Reverse and one other ability A LOT during hunts and it really paid off. Course the FF12 I played was first edition for PS2.
Yep, I did mention that in the vid. You need ten Espers and the Mindflayer hunt complete, then you can reach the area with the chest which has a 20% chance to spawn. Can also be stolen as a rare steal from Trial mode stage 70.
I have been watching your vids for a while now. I love all final fantasy games. Played most of them. This Leo gem is kicking my butt like its a ultimate weapon and I'm a level 1wolf. Got any ideas?
During my gameplay, I've already picked up almost all of the items except the Death Head, but I've sold them before. If I just get the death head and sell now will I receive the item?
If you'd already purchased whatever items from the Bazaar that selling unlocked for you at the time, then no, you'll have to get the items and sell them again. Once you purchase the Bazaar item(s), the counter resets for Bazaar recipes I believe.
Kaiyn of Akkad It's definitely most important to know as to wether or not the internal "counter" does indeed reset or not. Unfortunately I'm currently way too high to accurately scour the web and report back with accuracy.
Yeah good point, I think I did say its quicker to save and reload (which is what I did) to get it to respawn. Also if it has no Leo Gem you can reload the autosave after it dies to respawn right next to it and try again.
Ash Wyrm is also found in the Great Crystal of Giruvegan in multiple parts. The Leo Gem can also be farmed from Shield Wyrm of the Cerobi Steppe by chaining it.
frankdelta453 #FuzzfingerGaming {Nihopalaoa} Single Party Member [Reverse] + Immobilize = 1v1 duel with Judges Give it a spin. I found it to be infinitely less of a battle of attrition and gives the satisfaction of knowing that the immobile brethren Judges must helplessly watch their kin being slaughtered before their eyes, all the while knowing that potentially far worse is in store for them as their numbers dwindle and the psychological aspect of Role Reversal is at play, giving a sensual gratification of its own.
Hi Kevin, that is from the Cat accessory. Check my FF12 playlist for my gil farming video it shows how you can use the accessory to farm millions of gil very quickly. Fuzz.
This is too freaking hard. At least give us time to prepare for the 5 judges after facing Yaizmat and Omega... Ridiculous. Oh well, I was never going to get platinum anyway with that stupid luck based concurrence trophy (yes, it is entirely luck based, extreme luck needed)
Fake Name concurrence isn't too hard and I just beat trial 100 today. Took me a couple of tries but you definitely want that accessory nihopaola (however it's spelled) you can disease 3 out of the 5 judges. Just save your elixirs and spam mist on ghis first then take out drace and Bergan in that order. Then all you gotta do is use the same item and keep using prince kiss on zargabrath and keep sleeping him while you take out gabranth. Then keep putting zarg to sleep using only magic to kill him. It sounds like a mouthful but trust me it's not as hard as it sounds!! Get that plat boi!!
Fake Name playing ff12 back in the day, when it came to mists, id always turn my controller on its side and press triangle, x and square all together lol if kinda recommend doing that. Just use mist whenever you can, with all the different combinations you'll eventually all the concurrences

Is poaching really worth it. I've found more success from stealing or otherwise kill-chaining and looting.

It's easier and faster to steal the Leo gem from the Wild Saurian in the Dalmasca Estersand
Good tip thanks
Totally agree, I got it much faster this way.
for me i think the best way is to steal this item from some Dragon aevis on stilshire of mirian it has a much beter chance of be stole there
Aeronite in the Tchita Uplands (Sundered Earth and Uazcuff Hills) also a great place. I was able to get 3 gems in about 2 minutes farming them there. 30% steal with Theif's Cuffs
u can also get it in henne mines , the chest has 25% to appear
do this
-be in the zone before phase 2 dig
-so with rng app find a value between 01 to 24
-get the position before the value
- go to get the chest
the umbra chest has 5% so values are 01 to 04
Leo gems are a rare steal from the wild saurian in the first past of estersand. Two zone, rinse and repeat. Way easier than ash wyrm
In my opinion, I had more luck with the Ash Wyrm. Admittedly, it was a drain on my teleport stones, but in the end I had 16 Leo Gems. I did try and steal from the Wild Saurian though, and I got one successful steal out of who knows how many attempts. I was in the Estersand for a lonnnng time lol.

@@blue-phoenix115 I concur, this is the best place for said Leo Gems, got a couple handfuls in 15 mins. Thanks Brother!
Borderlands Reaper np 🙂
Man, y'all had some good luck, I keep getting Spiral Incisors and nothing else with the Thief's Cuffs. Super lame.

Dude your a life saver I keep dying because I ran out of items this helps a ton
Saving to try later

For the Leo Gems, you can also find Ash Wyrms in the Great Crystal

Cerobi Steppe, farmed the wyrmshield, for great xp and leo gems. I actually chained them. Took 17 kills.. very fast very easy.
84 chain before my first death head, you sir must have got unbelievably lucky
bruh
Not really. They are easy to get. You probably didn't even have the monograph.
I got it in a random chest from the henne mines
Yep, I did mention that in the vid. You need ten Espers and the Mindflayer hunt complete, then you can reach the area with the chest which has a 20% chance to spawn. Can also be stolen as a rare steal from Trial mode stage 70.
Love ur videos!!!! Thanks man

Got this on Henne while searching for the ribbon ... It's was in a random spawn chest just outside the ribbon spawn chart area
thank you very much

with it i hit hell wyrm with oil and trickster with blind
Nice, this accessory / remedy combo can really be useful against annoying enemies.
What is the duck symbol mean when it's equipped ? Is it a shield or accessoy?
The Party member with the duck has Decoy
Duck is decoy. It makes enemies focus on that target.
Ok was just wondering cause I seen a couple players have it on . Thanks guys !
Ghost210
I wonder if the classic "Bullseye" symbol was too far of a fetch.
* subliminal Duckhunt + Farfetched reference for giggles and sheets *
Hi Fuzz, in Rays of Ashen there is a Technicks Stamp, well that's what is on the map, but how do you get to that? Or is that later in the game?
If I remember that's locked behind the Shrines mini-game which you do when you get the Exodus Esper.
I'll have to go back and have a look? But I don't remember seeing a way over to that part? Thanks Fuzz...
I took two days getting the Leo gem off that wyrm with thief cuffs and all the monographs.. think my game was torturing me 🤦🏻🤦🏻
The Ash Wyrm won't respawn unless you leave the mosphoran highwaste completely
Yeah good point, I think I did say its quicker to save and reload (which is what I did) to get it to respawn. Also if it has no Leo Gem you can reload the autosave after it dies to respawn right next to it and try again.
Yeah, thats what I did for the moon rings for Dhanusha
Ash Wyrm is also found in the Great Crystal of Giruvegan in multiple parts. The Leo Gem can also be farmed from Shield Wyrm of the Cerobi Steppe by chaining it.
By time you craft such an item, the whole game will be easy and 99% complete. :p
This is for those darn Judge's! 😛
Not really true considering the storyline is only half the game if even that
I can’t get this to work. I have each of the necessary items but when I sell them nothing happens
doesnt work at yiazmat i tried
Yeah hes immune to status stuff, it does work on the final trial stage though :D
yeah although its kinda slowunless you have the accessory on everyone

Ash Wyvern is not easy to respawn
I got it from steal trial
How are you getting 705 gil after every enemy you kill?
Hi Kevin, that is from the Cat accessory. Check my FF12 playlist for my gil farming video it shows how you can use the accessory to farm millions of gil very quickly. Fuzz.
It turns all license points to gil after killing an enemy. You can get it from the clan provisioner in Rabanastre :)
ic i miss it early ** how can o get it after in the game
I never know how busted you could be in this game...thank you
Knee-hoe-pah-lay-oh-ah 🤔
