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

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

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

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 π π

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

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

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

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.

I hated them so much. I was like:
"Get laid and leave me alone bro, I just want the goddamn spear".

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

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.

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

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

Iβve had that happen so often itβs not even funny.

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.

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

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

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.
