Current Events > FF12 original zodiac spear *spoilers?*

(+) Yeah! (+)

There are several treasure chests that you MUST NOT open in order to get the Zodiac Spear EASILY. There is another way of getting the spear if you have opened one of those chests.

These are the chests you MUST NOT open:
Treasure chest in front of Dalan's house who lives at the south end of lowtown of Rabanastre.
Elixir chest in Rabanastre palace, which is in the south east corner of the cellars
The treasure chests inside Nalbina Dungeon in the room where you get your inventory back
And finally, the 16 chests in the south east area of Phon Coast

If you have opened none of these chests, the spear will appear in the Necrohol of Nabrudis. In the third area there will be a room with sixteen chests. You can open all of these. One of them will contain the Zodiac Spear.

I remember when the game came out and people were fucking defending the game design and calling others idiots for opening them despite their being literally zero indication that the chests fucked you over

I recall restarting the entire game and doing the process proper when I found this out. Lol, such awful design.
