This definitely worked for me, not as smoothly as it did for you, but it did work. I have gone up to Level 10 and i just need to get back to Estersand to get more Phoenix Downs to go through this process again to level up some more. Thanks a lot!
Here's a little tip : you don't have to go back when dustia show up if you can't target it with phoenix down, just wait until dustia health bar show up then you can use phoenix down on it. Make sure you change battle speed on config with lowest setting so you don't get killed by dustia while you preparing phoenix down.
@@jansto9066 thanks for telling me these methods I used to play this on PlayStation 2 but I didn't know anything about these methods so I'm back playing it again a couple years later so I'm just trying to brush up on the secrets of this game
@@natejoe9924 Yeah there is alot of secrets. You can even get '"zodiac spear"' early in the game if you dont open any chest. And then you need to go in some tunels and open the right one. it was a lot of fun really.
Best tip based on my observations get the the gambit at 1st order 1- if foe is undead cast Phoenix down 2nd gambit nearest foe cast offense spell like fire Put the battle ATB to wait to buy some time Battle speed medium don’t change it Then push L1 to speed up the action and when you killed it go back and forth to the western gate Make sure to organize your items if you don’t have the gambit I previously mentioned
this method is outdated on TZA the vendor near nalbina's teleport crystal will sell phoenix downs after you speak with the sunstone boy in giza i pick up penelo, speak with the boy, then i head east to nalbina, farm 4 amulets from trial 1 and buy 99 phoenix downs then its done
After level 35, Dustia is very slow to grind. Then it is better to go to the two werewolves who are in the Giza plains in Westersang. There is 2400 exp for them. But Vaan must have Shikari as a job and then have Adrenaline, Last stand and it is good to have some Battle lore as well. The most important thing is to have a Brawler. Leave Vaan unarmed and bare-handed. At level 53, he can deal over 1000 damage to werewolves. Then just run to the crystal glade and beyond and then come back and the werewolves will appear again. When a person accelerates four times, it goes very fast
if you want the loot and dont get kill put the battle speed in the slowest mode when you arrive in the dustia stage just move your camera to the back and dustia will spawn near to exit and it will be easy to grab the loot and get out just wait 1 sec before the loot falls , sell the books and staff and buy phoenix downs outside nalbina fortress this merchart will be unlocked when u complete the sunstone quest but make sure penelo left the party cuz after u farm to lvl 25 or more and the party joins they will be one or two lvl above you
Forgot to mention. when getting more fowns you need to go to Nalbina to buy them or else if you go thru rabanastra or the village in easter snads you will lose your current dustia chain if you have one going. You can get to Nalbina by simply traveling thru westersand into giza then thru estersands to get to nalbina.
wrong, u don always have to walk out of the zone dustia skill got teleport as long u saw his name pop out u can straight throw phoenix down instead walk out, except need to take cautious on the exp to ensure is not pop out
Yeah that make a good level up for the XP part but when he gets more than a thousand do I still need to go back and get more Phoenix down to do this trick if I run out if you got better after this one on EXP let us know please
Nope, you can buy phoenix down in nalbina. But it's pretty expensive in early game. You have to farm few phoenix down, took the loot when dustia drop it and sell the loot.
Was just thinking the same thing by the time you repeat this process, you can just level up with the story in my experience.. probably an old comment . Bah.

On my old ps2 i made it to lvl60 with this metod. Oh boy i had much free time back then
@@lErickl umm it took me maybe few hours. First levels come really fast. And when you are alone it is easy. But after 60 it is just too much

@@jansto9066 oh wow there's a lot I don't even know about this game Bernie because it has so many Secrets this is the best Final Fantasy in my opinion
Best tip based on my observations get the the gambit at 1st order
1- if foe is undead cast Phoenix down
2nd gambit nearest foe cast offense spell like fire
Put the battle ATB to wait to buy some time Battle speed medium don’t change it Then push L1 to speed up the action and when you killed it go back and forth to the western gate

just FYI. You dont need to exit the zone if you cant attack dustia with your downs .you just need to wait a sec mor till his orange xp bar shows up.
I remember finding this glitch as a kid on ps2 thinking I was some kind of glitch god 🤣😂

True veterans of this game know Dustia's PS2 name.
The Dustia Spawn only Once ... And then i have to go back to rabanastre n then back again to her place to get her spawn again ?
Thank you.
Okay I'm at the location and it didn't work cuz I I'm at beginning of this game I'm looking at a sandstorm so how far do I need to go
Yeah that make a good level up for the XP part but when he gets more than a thousand do I still need to go back and get more Phoenix down to do this trick if I run out if you got better after this one on EXP let us know please
not always, i was lv 2 vaan after penelo left goes below 10% and dustia didn't appear.
It worked thanks dude got me up to 11 or 12
It work still right
What about the merchant in the westersand? Doesn't he still sell Phoenix downs?
Nope, you can buy phoenix down in nalbina. But it's pretty expensive in early game. You have to farm few phoenix down, took the loot when dustia drop it and sell the loot.
the monster spawns but no more level up. I think they patched the glitch already. tried it several times.
Old comment but you must have had that firefly accessory
This is a huge waste of time!
