How to Defeat the Crystal Bug in Final Fantasy XII

Save crystals are typically a welcome sight when playing Final Fantasy XII. However, at certain points of the journey, your party is likely to encounter a Crystal bug, a powerful fiend that cleverly disguises itself to look like a save crystal. This fiend, armed with powerful magic, will prove to be a worthy adversary, but it is not impossible to defeat.

Instructions

- 1
  Touch the Crystal bug. To complete its ruse, the fiend will remain quiet and unassuming (like a normal save crystal) until touched. Once activated, the attack will begin.
- 2
  Take inventory of your party's health and strength. As magic will have no effect on this particular fiend, you will want to use your heaviest hitters with the highest levels. HP should be full on each fighter.
- 3
  Retreat from the Crystal bug to rearrange and replenish your party. Since this enemy is a stationary creature, it will not be able to pursue you. This will make it easier to retreat when necessary.
- 4
  Fight the Crystal bug with a barrage of physical attacks. This fiend will absorb or resist any magic sent its way, so MP should be reserved for healing your party.
- 5
  Continue the retreat and replenish process if necessary. Continue with the physical attacks until the Crystal bug is finally defeated.
