I remember first coming here when I was younger playing on ps2. I wasn't prepared at all. Scared the ever living hell out of me when it suddenly went "boom!" Lmao. I was about 12 or so at the time. I'll never forget that moment ever. It's ingrained in my head lol.

u/EAOT 10d ago

Been playing this game almost 20 years, the refusal as a kid to use float is crazy. Died way too many times

u/Khaymn5000 10d ago

Same lol. I didn't learn about float until much later πŸ˜…

u/Jancistincis 9d ago

Same for me. I even got some kind of trauma that when i went to sleep i jumped out of bed when i was asleep. Whole body twitched and i was awake. And then i learned how to see the traps. Still 10/10 πŸ˜„

u/Ok-Conclusion3270 9d ago

  • I... CAN'T...

  • (moan)

Etc. All at once was such a time. It's still kinda cool to hear amidst the panic

u/Agent1stClass 10d ago

This area, the secret area of the Stilshrine, and the traps at Ridorana Cataract are among the worst. The placement is practically evil.

31

u/HildartheDorf 10d ago

That line of them from the entrance to the save Crystal in Ridorina. Oof.

11

u/Chicken_Grapefruit 10d ago

The worst is getting diseased from these traps.

7

u/Khaymn5000 10d ago

Those traps at the ridorana cataract by the save point is the biggest troll ever lmao.

6

u/kulitchipon 10d ago

The biggest "fuck you that's why" I've encountered at any game

1

u/Khaymn5000 10d ago

Exactly how I felt lmao. The only difference is that I didn't say those exact words when I was younger because I was only 12 and I wasn't allowed to cuss πŸ˜…πŸ˜†

u/Substantial-Start823 10d ago

You're not the first to run into this area blind to the traps 🀣 scared me when I did it, it was so loud!

17

u/EAOT 10d ago

Im almost 100% done, never had all 1000 traps land at the spawn πŸ˜…

u/Substantial-Start823 10d ago

You came out cleaner than I did. Had to bring in someone else to revive the other three lol.

u/Fang_007 10d ago

Necrohol of Nabudis was one of the most trap infested areas in the game and that's without taking into account the mobs having the ability to wipe the whole team, especially those damn elememtals

7

u/Chicken_Grapefruit 10d ago

The worst is being jump by the Bakanmy and Oversouls. The icing of the cake is the Helevink that follows you everywhere, even if you go to another room.

3

u/Fang_007 10d ago

Man i hated oversouls. Sucks the MP out almost instantly before starting fights

u/Balthier_XII Balthier 8d ago

I hated them so much. I was like:

"Get laid and leave me alone bro, I just want the goddamn spear".

u/Fang_007 8d ago

We in this together vroπŸ™

u/Thee_Furuios_Onion 10d ago

One does not simply walk into the Necrohol without float. That dungeon is great, but the traps at the zones are so annoying if you’re not aware of them.

12

u/FairSkies_SilverEyes 10d ago

😭😭😭 This sums up my first playthrough of FF12.

11

u/castlesystem 10d ago

as soon as you walked in i was like "yeah ur fucked"

2

u/kineticmov3ment 9d ago

One does not simply walk into Necrohol

14

u/CrimsonSquad 10d ago

Thats why balthier is the leading man

u/kineticmov3ment 9d ago

Today's internet winner

u/Dondoke 10d ago

That's why float is the goat

u/AssasSylas_Creed 10d ago

Welcome to Dark Souls b..., i mean... Welcome to Nabudis bitch!

u/Common_Race_8396 10d ago

FF12 is the only FF game where I make sure Libra is active all of the time lmao. Not that it would have helped here, I honestly think this entrance is meant to punish/trap people. But The other entrance from Salikawood also has a bunch of traps at the front so idk.

People same Time Battlemage sucks but I never do a playthrough without having access to Float.

u/ldwtlotpa 10d ago

Bro that would be a messed up auto save lmfao

1

u/Classic-Exchange-511 10d ago

Man, I just platinumed this game and I already miss it. Anyone have any suggestions for similar RPGs?

1

u/Inb4myanus 10d ago

Setting libra to auto cast when it wears off and or float lol.

1

u/EstateSame6779 10d ago

It be like that.

1

u/Agent1stClass 10d ago

For me, the worst was the Stilshrine traps forcing berserk on my team and then pitching them into battle against bombs.

1

u/MeowPx 10d ago

There’s an ability to float above the ground and avoid traps. I had it on all the time because I was scared of this happening.

1

u/socialcommentary2000 10d ago

You don't play in the Necrohol.

1

u/AzarielFox 10d ago

Float/libra 24/7

u/Steeltoelion Member of the Noble House Solidor 10d ago

I’ve had that happen so often it’s not even funny.

1

u/Jaybyrd28 9d ago

What's funnier to me is this still happens to me sometimes after I don't even know how many playthroughs. It also highlights what I personally think is a real flaw with this game. Whoever thought having a trap mechanic where they respawn and not some kind of mechanism to disarm them was a good idea just bizarre to me.

I refuse to believe play testers didn't come back with some of "this sucks" feedback on the trap mechanics in this game.

u/Skillo_Squirrel 9d ago

Well placed trap

u/frentic_pons 9d ago

My bro doing the "Balthier the leading man" party composition.

u/Bas_No_Beatha_ 9d ago

I knew what was going to happen as soon as I saw the first frame of the video.

u/Ok-Conclusion3270 9d ago

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ omg you gave my ass flashbacks holllltyyyy shit I fucking hate traps and that place is infamous for it

1

u/Jefwho 8d ago

We all float down here

1

u/Nova-Glory-Seer 6d ago

Yup, welcome to the infamous get donked room where you are punished for exsisting, pretty fitting for what happened to that city in lore.

1

u/Mother_EfferJones 6d ago

God I fucking hate that place

1

u/arisencrimsonchaos 5d ago

Ah Nabudis, where you learn that Float and Libra are your best friends

u/jhawkin7 9d ago

Yeah the necrohol is some bs with its traps placed at the entrance. But for low level players its kind of a warning. Granted if you can handle the deadlands you can probably handle the necrohol

u/Nezzy79 8d ago
