Hint: Zodiac Spear Insurance
If you plan on getting your hand on this, most powerful
weapon in the game, DO NOT open the barrel that sit directly across from Dalans
door. Apparently its linked to four other chests in the game that must remain
closed until you have the opportunity to acquire it in Nabudis.

When its time to equip those gambits, its best to assign
a "healing ally" gambit as your first priority. You may think getting the hits
in first will get rid of enemies quicker, but youll never make it if their
health get too low, too fast.

It is very simple, in such places as the Yensen Desert or
the airship where you rescue the princess Ashe, you can just take your time in
the maze-like passageways and wander around without leaving the area and the
same type of monsters will spawn, heal after every battle and continue until you
have chains going up to 300.
When you get back to town you will hae
enough items to become very rich as well as attain levels, it is a good idea
that wherever you find these points you use them to the fullest potential.

While in the Lhusu Mines, far into the game, or at the
Gilgamesh Mark Hunt, go to the bridge that is pointing South-West (or
South-East). Its a diagonal. Anyway, enter and re-enter in a few times until
you see a black Bomb (Bullitt) appear. Kill it, and youll have a chance of
getting the Yagyu Darkblade (called the Yagyuus Onyx in the Japanese version).
You cannot go here until the get the Area 11 key, which is conveniently
located in the Phon Coast and the Hunters Camp, somewhere around one of
inhabitants (look for the sparkiling object on the ground). Note: you must have
done the Antlion mob first.
