Manipulation Trick (courtesy FF12GrandMaster) Preparation: Unequip weapon/shield, wear good armor Forcing chest spawn: Series 30001 - Hit self 3 times Series 30004 - Hit self twice. Chest will appear after hitting self 5 times but seems to appear more with 2 hits. Series 39001 - Don't hit self at all. Another report states that hitting yourself 3 times can also produce the chest. Series 39003 - Hit self twice Series 39004 - Hit self twice whilst by the Gate Crystal Series 50001/N - Hit self 3 times Series 50001 - Don't hit self at all Series 50002 - Don't hit self at all. Hitting yourself 3 times also seems to spawn the chest. Series 50003 - Hit self 3 times Series 50004 - Don't hit self at all Series 55001 - Don't hit self at all. Apparently the chest spawns 20 or 25% of the time Series 70001 - One report that hitting yourself 5 times can make the chest appear. Another says not at all. Series 70004 - Also one report that hitting yourself 5 times can make the chest appear Series 70012 - Hit self 3 times. Some appear to have better luck not hitting themself at all. Take your pick :D Series 75001 - Don't hit self at all Series 75004 - Hit self 3 times. One report said it also appears if you don't hit yourself at all. Series 77001 - Hit self once. Reported 38% success rate. Series 77004 - Hit self 3 times. One gamer reports that it can take 5 hits to get the chest to appear, another says not at all. Series 79002 - Hit self 3 times Series 79003 - Don't hit self at all Series 90001 - Hit self either once or 3 times. Reported that not hitting self at all also works Series 90004 - Don't hit self at all or hit self 3 times. The latter is reported with a 50% success rate. Series 90006 - Don't hit self at all 1. Get to the chest you're after without attacking or being attacked if at all possible (Nihopalaoa helps with this) 2. Start punching yourself with Self->Attack Gambit. Look for: =---= 2 hits at 17-28 -> Cast Cure x1 3 hits at 30-36 -> Cast Cure x4 4 hits soon after, then 5 hits 28 after that 2 hits soon after -> Cast Cure x2 -> 2 hits soon after -> Cure x1 -> 5 hits 2 hits at 40-64 -> Cast Cure x5 -> 19 to 5 hits (or 4 hits followed by 5 hits 28 later) 3 hits at 50-64 -> Cast Cure x3 -> 5 hits soon after 3 hits at 23 -> 4 hits 29 later -> 5 hits 28 later 4 hits at 56 -> 5 hits 28 later 5 hits at 82-86 =---= AFTER GETTING THE RARE: 3. Cast Cure on yourself and open another chest for another rare item 4. Put a second character in the party and cast Thundara on yourself 5. Put character 2 away 6. Cast Thundara on yourself again 7. Open a third chest for another rare item Getting the Zodiac Escutcheon to appear: * Get a 3-hit combo before heading out to the passage (keep track of how many hits you've taken!) * Use the Immobilize glitch (Immobilize on second/switch back to them to evade attacks; wait for re-sheathing) and get to the chest * Use RNG manip trick above to get the chest Earliest Magic/Skill Merchants Cure/Fire/Blizzard/Thunder -
