Catoblepas is a monster and a special Mark from Final Fantasy XII.

HUNT: Paying for the Past

MARK NO.: 30

LOCATION: Zertinan Caverns/Hourglass Basin

Petitioner: War-chief Supinelu (Jahara/Land of the Garif)

Reward: 3200 gil, Volcano, Antarctic Wind

Stats

Absorbs: Holy

Weakness: Dark

1/2 Damage: Fire, Thunder, Ice, Earth, Water, Aero

Steal: Hi-Potion, Beastlord Horn, Gemini Gem

Strategy

Supinelu will assist you in this battle, but won’t be much help unless he uses magick. Cast Dispel on Catoblepas right away to remove Reflect, Shell, Protect, and Bravery. It will occasionally recast these spells, so have Dispel at the top of someone’s gambit. Use Slow and Blind on the mark to gain an advantage. Catoblepas’ attacks will get faster when its HP gets low, so use a Quickening chain to finish him off.
