Final Fantasy XII/Zodiac

For those who just have to open every single chest available to them as they come along will miss this item, as the sidequest involves not opening specific chests in four specific places. The reward of doing this - the Zodiac Spear - is well worth it (it's probably the most powerful weapon in the entire game!!), so feel free to try it on your first playthrough. The places are:


 * 1) In Lowtown, the first and all other times you are there, there is a chest outside of Old Dalan's place, across the street - don't open it!
 * 2) When you break into the palace (before you get the Goddess' Tear), in the Cellar are several chests.  Don't touch the two in the south-eastern corner.
 * 3) In the place that you get your weapons back after being captured, don't touch any of the ones in the Confiscatory.
 * 4) Later in the game, on the Phon coast, there's an island which has 16 chests all near each other.  One of these chests shouldn't be opened, so don't risk it by opening one.

If you've left all the treasures alone, you should find the Zodiac Spear in the Necrohol of Nabudis, with a whopping + 150 attack and like most spears, + 8 evasion.
