Aw man it’s October 28,2023 and I finally got it on my first try !! I started to replay FFxii a childhood memory and I just found out about this and replayed your video twice and I honestly got it on my first try !! Thank you man wish I can drop a Tip !

[@teneleven2818]

I got it. It worked. Thanks guys! Everyone involved in letting us know about it and discovering it.

[@samualtillman5407]

Just got it on ps4 5/20/23 thanks dude this is the only way iv been able to get the bow.

[@mistahkrazy805]

You can get it after returning from Rabanastre with Basch from Barheim Passage. Once the Moogling is open you can go to the aerodome and fly to Nalbina

[@ivandeftones.14]

Get 6 Seitengrats at this instance of the game

[@syahriyanatlanticasejati575]

​@@ivandeftones.14which method? Does it work with ps2?

[@ivandeftones.14]

@@syahriyanatlanticasejati575 I think there is two differentd methods for ps2 (zodiac version and ntsc version). But not this one. You cant autosave on ps2

[@Knjo0101]

For those having trouble getting the chest to spawn, waiting 30 seconds instead of 20 yields far more consistent results

[@BigmanShy]

Knjo0101 any evidence to back the claim I'm having Shit luck with this hahahaha

[@Knjo0101]

I have gotten a whole bunch of them by using this manner just by waiting 30 seconds instead of 20.

[@eclecticdementia]

OMFG FINALLY I GOT IT!!!!!!!! After hours and hours of trying, giving up, and then trying again, I got that damn chest to spawn!!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@brandonharmsworth6507]

I got 3 in the span of 30 minutes doing the reks rng manipulation trick. Worked every time.

[@diablo3sucks84]

This worked for me, thanks! However, I would insist that people wait to get it until they're closer to the post-story part of the game because it is game-breaking until that point.

[@marceriksen]

PS4 Pro here too: I was consistently getting them by pressing X at the door within milliseconds after 19 seconds was reached my stop watch. I got three in a row with this method.

[@anwarshlaimon]

My timer was on 19,3-19,4 to get the chest. I am on a ps4 basic with digital version of the game.

[@oneiltomarz]

thanks for this guide..i got this bow on my 5th try :)

[@ivandeftones.14]

Still works with (97-94-95) cure values with Reks - PS4 FAT 27/05/2022 Many many thanks for this! Edit: Also you can speed up x2 or x4 until the 4th run of the kid before open the chest.

[@michaelsvensson9037]

its 88-97-90

[@michellet4444]

Got 3, great video. I had 5 chests spawn over about an hour and half. The way I got my timing was as soon as vaan is completely visable start the stop watch then at just before 20 seconds, has to be on 19 enter the airship. The first two chests I got were 10gil and a knot of rust. Then I realized I didn't have the diamond armlet equipped. After that got 3 more spawns not long after. Don't know why I got them because I won't use them just wanted to see if I could. Doing fine without them...........IT WILL RUIN YOUR GAMING EXPERIENCE..

[@markflavell8210]

Yeah its amazing.u use cure on reks by the save crystal and u look for cure numbers 88 97 and 90 then load the auto save and watch the npc run up and down the stairs 4 times works 100 percent.u could fully endorse that method .ur vids are great mate keep up the good work

[@mrmosty5167]

Took a few tries to get the 20s right but I got the chest to spawn and got the bow! Thank you so much!

[@MegaCritas]

I want to share my experience on this I was ready to give up but gave it a last go. I used the reks method the cure combination 97-94-95 guarantees chest spawn I can confirm this tried it alot and 100% spawn rate. Opening the chest I used the child and parent method and it works no BS tried, tried it with a guy on stairs method but failed me multiple times

[@haveagocommentator983]

And there is the reks 88 97 90 heal to auto save that works as well but you have to count 4 times of the guy walking up the stairs instead of the kid for that one. Both work , I did both methods and got 2 from each just look for which set of numbers you get first 97, 94 , 95 kid 88 , 97 , 90 guy on stairs

[@jacobd1755]

holy shit I just did everything you said and got it my first try. thank you much!

[@xXxDragonOfLegendsxX]

Finally got this using the Reks method of cure on Reks at the first save point of the game and trying to get the sequence of cures 97, 94, 95 or 88, 97, 90. I then used the kid running method once the chest was spawned. I don't know who's method the Reks cure method is but it worked for spawning the chest.

[@matteomerlino2838]

On xbox?

[@christopherwilliams8706]

Cheers for the vid, original vid said to count steps but your 19-21secs advice was brilliant I got it to pop on 20secs 🤘

[@alkiramari8193]

4:24 Thanks mate. I used yours stopwatch and I got it after 6th try.

[@DominicanNinja]

How do you get it on the switch version

[@XxThe_ExiledxX]

Not true. You can get the Bow as soon as you are able to board an airship. Like in the story when heading to bhujerba. All you need is a save file from playing as reks. Get the cure spell to heal for exactly in this order 88, 97, 90. Then reload autosave. Watch the guy going up and down the stairs. Wait for him to go up a 4th time and open the chest. I got 3 back to back in less then 10 minutes.

[@Zephyr_Weiss]

The timing for the kids is to press as soon as his tank movement on his feet stops when he turns to his parent. Don't look at his head. Look at his feet.

[@Cruznik02]

Omg I got it!

[@jameslove8507]

It’s freaking crazy how this really worked I was paying attention to the kid to the point I almost forgot about the chest lol but I got it, but since it’s so strong I won’t use it the whole game since I don’t wanna blow my experience

[@syahriyanatlanticasejati575]

Did you push circle? Or it just popped up?

[@jameslove8507]

@@syahriyanatlanticasejati575 tbh bro it’s been 3 years I can’t even remember lol but give it a shot

[@eclecticdementia]

I now have 3 of these things lol. I can't get over how it was a pain at first. After trying so many times, I stand by the time method and the zoning in. Also to those who say why get the the bow, I say go for it you've conquered the game before. I have just about 99.9% the game a once, and I never had one the best weapon in the game. The best items for me were when I would get the ribbon later in game, and the weapon the game easily gave up during that time. So for me to finally get the strongest weapon in the game being only less than half in is great. Thanks again lemon for the vids. Keep it up 😁.

[@darknestsin2884]

I know this is old and everything but as of August 9 2019 it still works. All you need is for the chest to spawn and then watch the kid. Got mine on my very first chest spawn.

[@kahekiboy3405]

Darknest Sin bet

[@jayceodell]

I've gotten this chest to appear 5 times, with the diamond amulet and waiting for the kid till the right moment I still cannot get the bow

[@alexbesayin]

Yo, this really works. I was able to get 3 bows in just a few hours. Thank you!

[@salanatation]

I've been able to get the chest to spawn 100% using the reks cure method with the 3 cure sequence of 88, 97, 90 then loading the auto save with vaan only on the top deck

[@salanatation]

When the man on the stairs who climbs up and down reaches the top of the stairs for the 4th time (including when he is at the top from the start; being #1) open the chest

[@FerrumAnulum]

Those coming here for the switch and xbox versions. THIS METHOD DOES NOT WORK! None of the current rng manipulation methods work on any of the secret weapons at this moment.

[@ItsJustQ_Speedruns]

@@blue-phoenix115 yeah it must keep you up at night knowing that someone out there is using an op weapon in a single player video game. Finally someone put an end to the MADNESS

[@michaeloliver4457]

Guys GuyS! Doing it wrong do not start 20sec stopwatch when you see the screen load up... start it when you hear the music start (even when the screen is still black) Did this 3 times in a row and got the bow 3 times in a row start stopwatch when music dose. at that point the game is already loaded up and going even if the screen its self has not so you been over timing.. :d

[@michaeloliver4457]

Just for shits i did it a 4th time. Starting stopwatch when i hear music still working :P Just do not forget to add your reaction time into account if your using a stopwatch (The time you hear the music and the time you hit start can be up to half a second long if you have a low reaction time.)

[@04MattyIce26]

Here in 2022 and still works!

[@rygo30]

Shoot back then I pass this game the hard way with no OP weapons ;-;

[@LemonEatingKow]

This was pretty much a myth to most players back in the day unless you were able to listen to some clicks on your playstation or you got your timing spot on.

[@chrismilton3240]

Congrats, I'm proud of you.

[@jamesmace9453]

I used the guy who goes up and down the stairs. When he reached the top foe the 5th time, that's when I popped the chest for the bow.

[@jaylawrence4733]

Got it on my first try...thanks so much

[@LemonEatingKow]

Jay Lawrence Rad! You did WAY better than I did!

[@Dr.Halayqeh]

couldn't they draw one instead of it staying invisible???????

[@IAmSippycup]

Tried this for about 2 hours. Only got the chest to spawn twice and got 10 gil each time, with diamond armlet equipped.

[@LemonEatingKow]

Vincent Costa The biggest hurdle for me was getting the chest to spawn. if you can do that more consistently it will only take practise to get the bow. best of luck.

[@konatathebest]

your timing is wrong. you need to press X as soon as he is to tip toe. at least it works for me.

[@ScruffyDreamer]

love the guides! still have yet to get this bow, been trying all day.

[@LemonEatingKow]

Thanks! Good luck with the bow. Check out the forums for more tips and info. Might find that one vital piece of info.

[@mitchellholder7205]

The chest never spawns when i do it

[@anthonysegovia4209]

Still works, 02/23/2022 I got 2 of them in about an hour and a half.

[@meangriever2017]

Took me about 30 mins to get my first one. I was either severely lucky or it is all about the timing.

[@1T6I1M0]

Tried this for an hour, got 3 chests, 1 had the bow.

[@LemonEatingKow]

[@user-pn7gh6dn2v]

Worked for me on the first attempt! Thanks so much. :3 (That said, I'm probably just going to leave it in the Inventory for the most part. Don't want to cheese the game, but also can't not go for a unique weapon that I know is there......)

[@HrapaCREED]

Is this still works on ps5? Tnx

[@michaeluk2445]

is the bow the most powerful weapon in the whole game to get ?? If not what is?

[@ohmyimfresh]

Man this shit took me like 5 different chests, but I finally got 1! After he paces 4 times and when he stops id give it like half a second then open the chest I feel like that was the best timing.

[@ThatGuy-oj5fb]

Thanks for this. You're the best.

[@cclspeedrunner4172]

Does this work on switch?

[@DarkSchuller]

having such a hard time getting this bow! :(

[@LemonEatingKow]

I know the pain mate. I have spent a lot of time on it. That is why I didn't want to title the guide '100%' or anything. I still think it takes a lot of practise and/or luck.

[@FalcusDead]

I find the "100%" video to be misleading that someone else titled it as. Its clickbait really and I find it funny they say to try again if it doesn't work (eg not 100%) I'm trying to find the specific timing to see if I can manipulate it because this could have the potential to completely break speedruns. I'm curious how it would work in them. I wonder how fast bosses would die if you managed to get 3 quickly and if the time saved is even worth the invested time (probably not worth 3 but I'm still going to try it)

[@brenttleclaire4360]

The video makes it look so easy. I'm sure I'll get it, but I've tried over hundred times without any luck yet, I've gotten it on the previous play thru, it makes the game so easy with this bow,but nice to have in the inventory

Worked on first try. Thx!

[@deden77720]

U guys ever wondering what did the child say to his dad? “Look dad, they are waiting for me to get back to you just to get the damn bow “

[@mameeen042]

Just get the bow 2 times in 3 hour. Damn the rng but it works.

[@LemonEatingKow]

I cannot say that the chest spawning method is 100%. I only got it tow work once, but other people have got it to work fairly consistently. I hope you have luck. If not try looking at the forum links on Gamefaqs and Reddit. The method to loot the bow however I would say is 100% as long as you get your timing SPOT ON! Post any tips or advice you have here for other players! I did the chest spawn with a PS4 Pro with a digital version of the game at 20.4 seconds. EDIT: Sorry about the length of the video... I really didn't feel I could make it any shorter :/

[@Kowanpoop]

It definitely is NOT 100%. I wasted almost a day trying to spawn the chest using the method to no avail. Until now I still haven't spawned the chest. haha.

[@LemonEatingKow]

Yeah I myself cannot replicate the spawning method 100% BUT the looting method seems pretty damn accurate.

[@hellquin22]

I been trying all day and night to get this, I got it after watching this video Thank you. Yes the bow will ruin the game but for those who have beaten the game countless times on ps2, just wanting to have fun slaughtering everything it is great.

[@ahabbellamy8098]

You don't need to explain yourself why you want to use it.

[@ZombieDireWolf]

30 seconds works best at chest spawning. at least for me any ways

[@earlphillips1468]

Oh shit I got it launch ps4 and disc version if you care. I re entered the air ship at 18 seconds just to off set the animation and waited for the boy. The second he stops hit X and I got it.

[@oveson88]

So this only took ten minutes for me to get using each step shown. I timed till 19 seconds and the chest spawned.

[@MrHorror97]

Does this work on the Xbox one version as eell?

[@jasonstrauss83]

Can you respawn the chest after getting the bow during the same flight to nalbina using the close app technique or do you have to land, go back to rabanastre and book flight all over? Also THANK YOU this vid got me my first seitengrat!!!!

[@tagnarth]

30 seconds has worked better for me to get it to spawn but timing the opening I keep failing. I've been able to get it to spawn about 10 times now.. but so far many knots of rust
