Final Fantasy XII [Vaan Solo OBLPLLG] Optional Boss #2: Demon Wall [30 (263)]
This is the optional Demon Wall in Tomb of Raithwall. I had hoped I'd be able to defeat it with Balance Motes alone, but unfortunately this isn't possible here. On my third attempt with just Balance Motes and berserked Larsa I managed to get it down to around 1/5 HP with every single Mote hitting successfully. I then realised it's possible to get the Brigandine Chest Piece here, which added 60 to my total HP (giving me an extra 60 damage boost per hit), but sadly this wasn't enough either. To defeat this I had to obtain Dark Matter (from Bazaar, I'll make a video on that later). Initially my Dark Matter was at 1,903 damage, so I spent a while throwing Knots of Rust at Larsa with my best HP gear equipped, and after just 30 decent hits it was up to 5,500 damage. Perfect! My tactic: 1. Berserk Larsa. 2. Haste Larsa and Vaan. 3. Remove all equipment to reduce Vaan's HP to 82(-84) and equip Mithril Blade. 4. Have Vaan attack himself once, this will bring his HP down to 3(5) to 14(16) depending on how much damage the attack did. 5. Equip Gigas Hat, Brigandine and Orrachea Armlet. Now each successful Balance Mote will deal between 783(785) and 794(796) damage. 6. Start the battle and make sure Demon Wall targets Vaan with its regular attack. If it doesn't it will use Blind, Sleep or Telega much sooner, so reset. 7. Keep throwing Balance Motes. Depending on how much you charged your Dark Matter I opted to reset if it missed 3 times. 8. As soon as Larsa has been sent to the X-Zone, throw the Dark Matter at Demon Wall. 9. Finish off with Balance Motes if necessary.
