Cheats: Obtain the Zodiac Spear!

No, you can't read your enemies astrological signs with this weapon, but you can sure as hell beat the crap out of them. Get the Zodiac Spear now!

The Zodiac Spear is the most powerful weapon in Final Fantasy XII, but it's a bit tricky to acquire. From the very beginning of the game, you must be wary of what chests you open and what chests you don't, as there are four chests that must remain unopened for you to obtain this destructive weapon. Here are the four chests to stay away from:


1) Treasure chest in Lowtown, outside of Old Dalan's place.
2) When sneaking into the palace (Before getting the Goddess Tear), there are several chests in the Cellar. Do not open the two chests in the southeast corner.
3) All treasure chests in the Confiscatory must stay closed (this is the place where you get your weapons and armor back after being captured).
4) In the Phon Coast, later in the game, there is an island with 16 chests all near each other. The 4th chest that must NOT be opened is among these, so it is best to leave them all alone. If you're worried about missing out, these chests only contain Gil.

If you've left all these treasures be, you'll find the Zodiac Spear in the Necrohol of Nabudis. It sports a whopping +150 attack and, like all spears, +8 Evasion.
