Seitengrat Tutorial Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age

[@FormOfKorn]

Something I want to add for other people, the Save Crystal does NOT affect your RNG placement. For example, if your sequence goes "88 -> [Save Crystal] -> 97 -> 90", the chest will still spawn as if you never touched the crystal. I initially believed the HP/MP refill would affect it, and haven't seen a video that proved otherwise, so I gambled on it during my attempts and still got the chest spawn/Seitengrat. Also, there is a tiny but significant bit of leeway for when you can grab the chest. In this video his timing was so on point that he opened it just as he started to turn after the fourth time, but my attempts were just slightly later yet still successful. I wouldn't push it too far though, just to be safe.

[@KdotLINE]

Awesome, worked perfectly! 1 thing for anyone having any trouble (getting 10 gil) - When you go up to the invisible chest and turn the camera to see the guy by the railing, that's already been 1 of the 4 of the NPC going up the stairs, so after that count 3 not 4. I was counting 4 after turning the camera around but that would actually be 5. Anyway, thanks LetsGetPitted (also great username haha) "just ride the barrel and get pitted, sooo pitted like THAT."

This!!! Is absolute working on PS5. Thx!!

@@AsphexSefi oh nm, My diamond armlet wasn't equipped for some reason, got it finally. Thanks for increasing my confidence with your comment though

[@natashab92]

This is by far the best method to use your video is great and straight to the point if more people did there tutorials like this there would be no confusion . Thanks keep up the great work

[@solsikkeso]

A big thank you for this method. Tried the stopwatch method for God knows how long, and it just wouldn't work. Followed your tutorial and got a bow each time with 100% succes. I'm amazed at how you figure this out. Keep up the good work :D

[@Vishnuknight]

I'm not someone who comment on KZbin videos, and, as many, was skeptic about this method (you know "100% guaranteed Seitengrat blah blah blah)… tried a few of them but nothing prove useful, however I must admit that a couple chests spawned with 10 miserable gil… found your method but was a bit on the edge (another "guaranteed" I think to myself), made a little research and stumbled upon a Reddit post about the RNG and how could it be manipulated and, at the end, an edit with a link to your tutorial… I must say this left me speechless, one try, ONE FREAKING TRY, the only "difficult" part was getting the numbers and it was less than five minutes, my heart pumped when I saw them (still a bit in denial) but as I followed your instructions, voilà, the elusive Seitengrat… dude, you rock, hours and hours trying to get the goddamn bow, and in the space of half an hour (starting new game, making Vaan auto save, casting the correct numbers) your method prove itself true and reliable… many, many thanks.

[@xeronic]

Thanks, this way worked every time for me, after messing around for about 2 hours with the other methods. I should mention i had a guest, Larsa, in my party when i got these chests, so you can have a guest and get it.

[@WMartinNI]

Xeronic I did it (multiple times) with Vosler. Such an easy method.

[@peterlandyn6821]

I know Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me

[@mfblang]

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the ultimate 100% of 100% method. Thank you for making this video. You've saved me hours of my life. Thank you so much

[@chrisokeefe1262]

I got it! My reks started with 42mp so i didn't know if that affected the rng. It took me 3 tries with redoing the spam cures. I had a good feeling about the last one because right off the bat I got the 88, 97, 90. Thanks pitted! I watch your speedruns all the time on twitch and I was glad you were able to help us out with this

[@wolfygasmhuckle3277]

Dude your a legend works on Standard PS4 500GB. Keep it up dude

2023, PlayStation 5, can confirm this method still works. Thank you!!

[@virginieblum8065]

wow, it worked well on first try. Thank you so much for the crystal clear explanations! Well-deserved subscription! I confirm having a guest in the party does not affect the method

[@joshlegacy1101]

Reading the comments on this video is like reading the fake reviews on those scam phishing sites.

[@akkristor]

This worked for me first try! thank you! I've tried the step method, zone method. None worked. this one worked first try.

[@jordimoo6119]

Got it first time!!!!!! Best method out there compared to 32 steps and 20 second method!!!!

[@Jimbob1337]

After attempting the zone method, 32 steps and 20 secs methods, I tried this one today. Worked first time! And it was on version 1.02, meaning they didn't patch it out! Thank you so much LGP!!

[@RazyrDiarmait]

Just did this for the first few times today myself, also after trying the others methods with no luck at all. They still haven't patched it and 1.06 was released today as well, so I doubt they will.

[@Snyde91]

I had only read the wiki description and was trying to get the 3 cure values for over two hours before I gave up. The next day (today) I noticed your video and watched it, I realised I hadn’t gone to the next area and gone back to the save point so there were no npcs. Managed to get it within a few mins every time I’ve tried now. Thanks so much

[@adiralon]

Bro i struggled with all methods,with yours its true 100% and not at the least complex,you rock

[@josealvelo3348]

I've gotta say that I tried the waiting 20 seconds with a stopwatch and got it just one time but I followed the instructions of this video to a T and I've gotten 3 of the bow in a row. Thank you so much, this method is the real deal.

[@dinosteve]

This is genius, how did you even discover this?

Works 100% of the time! Chest spawned every time, the bow was in the chest every time. :) You sir, have won the internet when it comes to the Seitengrat!

[@leonardodavi2695]

Got it first time! thanks man! And to those who might be worried that an extra party member (i.e. guest) will mess up the rng, IT DOESN'T! did it with Reddas in my party.

[@Stormfall7]

This is just what I needed! I tried basically every other method out there, and none of them worked for me. This did, 100%, first try. I can't thank you enough.

[@helgesson88]

Had to comment, this trick worked like a charm. Tried the "20 second" trick alot of times with no luck, this worked on first try. For anyone wondering I had Reddas as a companion and it still works. Took a few minutes to get the sequence but not more then 3-5 I think. I read somewhere that you can look for other sequences as well.

[@erirtoniojr]

What a joy to come here 5 years later and this still works

[@parkerroland8173]

THANK YOU. IT WORKS. 100%. Tried all the other methods with no success but just got 6 in a row in 20 min. Lifesaver.

[@Sanjura45]

Pitted, you are my hero. Using faulty RNG and NPC positioning methods in PS2 Emulator version for hours and hours just to get my First Seitengrat and you've gifted me with a 10 minute fix and farm. There are Gods among us. Now I can play this game in a fun and leisurely fashion using Good old Memebow.

[@madhattermadden]

Just did this and it worked even after all these years! Thanks for the guide!

[@Jay959161]

Still working as of 1/14/18. If you cant get the cure numbers to appear then try closing your application all the way and restarting the process. Also make sure you're opening the chest when the dude's foot is flat on the final step. A split second sooner and you'll receive 10 gill.

[@primordialodd1888]

I’ve tried searching for the answers before asking here, as yours seems to be the most reliable- are methods different for those playing on xbox series x? I’ve tried to hit the 88, 97, 90 formula and never came close. I just wasnt sure if its due to my console, since you’re on playstation and your other two videos doesnt seem to specify if it works for xbox series x

[@Bazaritchie]

You my friend are an absolute legend! I done all the other methods and yes luckily managed to get 2 bows from trying them but I'm sure they were more luck than anything else. First time with your method instantly got one. Done it a second time and instantly another bow. I never normally comment on videos or gamefaq's etc etc but this method really has worked!

[@Kentcommel]

Updating after some months. I got the bow with this tutorial. I have a ps4 Pro 1tb. First i got the bow with Reks combo 88, 97, 90 and the guy on stairs, as the above video said. Later i decided to get another 2 bows but i was never getting this same sequence again. I decided to click the first link in description to find out there was another Reks healing sequence, 97,94,95 (with the kid running thingy as the video mentioned) and also a 88, 94, 92, 92, 96 sequence (2nd link). I got the 2nd seitengrat with the 88, 94, 92,92, 96 and my 3rd bow with the 97, 84, 95 sequence. Thank a lot for these tips! It saved me a lot of time (i was trying the stopwatch mode but without success).

[@RazyrDiarmait]

After the headache I acquired stealing Great Trango from Zodiark and wanting to get this bow as well, I decided to give this method a try, as the other methods seem to fail constantly. Got all 6 needed within a half hour, and it still works after updating to 1.06 today. Great job with this tutorial man.

[@Davidrusky]

Okay this saved me hours of my college life and grief. I know I didn't have to get the bow, but once I found out about it I just couldn't progress until I got it. Honestly with how easy this method was I might get two more just for the hell of it. Thank you so much.

[@robinsonsonic]

Still works as of 4/17/2020. Brilliant, thanks for the tutorial! I never even knew this method could even work, let alone existed until I did some searching around and found out about RNG manipulation.

[@robinsonsonic]

@André_Durán nah. Once you see the appropriate numbers pop up on screen as Reks you have all the time you need to quit back to the main menu and load up your main playthrough.

[@lovecars_6947]

Ok did mine Sept 2, 2019 got 6 of them. It took about an hour or so this is the best video ever. You are the man. Did it and explained it perfect. Gave me the edge for the game. I love the story im about half way this was a great help. Also im on the ps4 pro. Did take a bit for the rng to kick in.

[@TheIrishBub]

Out of six tries, I got four Seitengrats. The other two were *only* because I checked the chest too early. Thanks, Pitted! This method definitely works for me!

[@PrinnySong]

Thank you Thank You, i tried basically every other method out there without success, but following yours step by step i got 2 bow in a row :D. U are awesome, and got a new subscriber :D

[@LiamMayfair]

Worked like a charm on a standard 1TB PS4, thanks a lot dude! Struggled a bit getting the right RNG sequence with Reks so what I did was exit out onto the Title Screen, close the game and launch it again to reset the RNG. Then I loaded the Reks game again and before casting my first Cure, I made sure to set all of my Battle settings to be the same as Pitted's. Then, I started casting Cures and got the coveted 88, 97, 90 after a minute or so! Great job dude, really appreciate this.

[@rickkhemai1443]

Im forever grateful. Got the Seitengrat on my first try with your method where as with the other methods i still didnt even get the chest to spawn after 30+ tries

This method still works 100% of the time. I loved playing it on ps2 and i will say getting even one of these is fun to have

[@VanitasCore]

Well, i have to apologize. I left some pretty rude comments on here, but this is the real thing. I managed to get the chest every time, though i suck at timing. I got 3 bows in an hour. Thanks for everything. You earned a subscriber.

Hi! Thank you so much for this tutorial! This video and the outline by Devin Chu both massively helped me in getting this!

100% guaranteed guide - just got mine Seitengrat today (12/19/2023)..... many thx broo!!

[@moerko94]

my magic numbers were at casts #43, 44 & 45. Worked like a charm (after twice opening the chest a bit too early). But after figuring out the timing it was always a Seitengrad. Thanks mate.

[@joechops90]

I have tried every other method out there with no luck, and tried this and got it on the first try. This is 100% legit.

[@sylvea.]

Works like charms! I'm on ps5 and just did it today. Although from watching your videos I think you opened it when the guy came up the 3rd time and that's what works for me. All the salutes and kudos for finding this out!

[@talemsplash]

You're the only other person I've met who also prefers dual inverted because of vanilla FFXII. :P Good on you man. Such a simple solution to start with Reks, and yet you're the one who thought of it. Earned a sub from me.

[@ArchangelHRH]

Best method ever to get the Seitengrat. After trying for hours the 20sec method, this one worked on my first try! Thank you so much! This is awesome!

[@jacobwtf22]

Holy crap, got it the first time. Thank you so much! I've tried the other methods out there and had no luck, but this one was great. Thank for making such a clearly explained video.

[@Tostigroover]

Thanks a ton. This is the only method that got the chest to spawn reliably. Trying to follow the 32 steps method (sounds like I'm kicking a bad habit) I've only found the chest once. Your method got the chest to spawn six out of six tries. One hundred per cent reliable, as far as I'm concerned.

[@Boldandbeautiful123.]

I tried for over an hour and only got the correct number sequence once and messed up the timing in the airship file so got 10 gil. I did some research and someone noted that the settings on the Reks file impacted this so I too his advice and in config set battle to active , cursor position yo last selection and battle speed to 4x. Ensured I hit L1 to go into 4x speed and started casting cure. The number sequences came up very quickly and soon I was mowing down Hecteyes with impunity. Thanks!

[@amanojaku5203]

Your sir are brilliant! Worked first time for me! I had trouble with the settings messing my rng, but it worked after reading your top comment.

[@parisamonazahian5987]

I feel like crying tears of happiness right now!!!!! This works!!!! 4 hours of the other methods and nothing but this worked first try!!!!! I got it with 88 97 90

[@zelkova83]

Thanks so much for this! I messed around with the 32-step and 7-zone methods for about an hour before getting frustrated... not sure why those are so popular and why I had a hard time finding your method, but it worked for me on my first try and I was able to replicate it immediately after 2 more times! So thanks so much for figuring this out / making a video! This should definitely be the method everyone is sharing, not the other ones that, like you said, are totally not "100%" at all.... :/ For anyone having trouble, I pretty much followed his video exactly: I didn't kill anything extra as Reks, so while I'm not sure if it matters, even my exp was the same (217 to next level), and had all my settings the same as his, which I changed BEFORE saving (since some other comments mentioned doing it after loading your save may have an effect). My Reks' max HP and MP were slightly different, but it didn't seem to effect this. In all three attempts, I got the 88-97-80 with less than 15 cures. I have a PS4 Slim (not pro). I did this early in the game before I had even gone to Bhujerba, so your progress in the story doesn't have anything to do with it.

[@edge929]

Tried this on 1/25/18 with a PS4 Pro and all updates (game and system). Worked like a charm, thanks.

[@Riskbreaker_Riot]

Worked 100% amazing. Thanks. Once you set up the saves it took like 3 mins for each one.

[@Sanjura45]

One Thing I would like to note. whenever you get to the Step of Reks Number manipulating, it's imperative that if you didn't set up preference config settings (i.e Active time, max speed, and last selection for Cusor memory) that you set it up before casting your first Cure. In my experience using this method, I casted a first cure, then set it up for convenience and it made me roll 88-96-91 and I coulnd't get the 88-97-90. Figuring I did something wrong I reclosed the application to reset RNG again and this time I reloaded my reks file, Changed my config settings to convenience preference and then as i started rolling Cure numbers I got it at about the same time as Pitted got his. And I got my seitengrat after as well.

[@Sanjura45]

Also, I tried this method after reaching balfonheim section of the game so don't think you have to be the same exact level or the same exact position as Pitted, just have your main file at a rabanastre/west gate spawn location, Make your reks file for manipulation, bored nalbina airship and create airdeck autosave with Vaan as a single party member and diamond armlet equipped, Begin your RNG manipulation and enjoy your seitengrat.

[@bl00]

Very much this! I was trying it for a long time until I came into the comments. I forgot to set last selection and kept getting the 88 96 91 combo. FINALLY got my first Seitengrat. Thanks!

[@Sanjura45]

Glad you were able to find a solution. Enjoy it my friend!

[@Bastions]

Thank you! I kept getting 88-96-91 until I changed my config settings to exactly what he has, saved, closed application to reset RNG and reloaded then got it almost immediately :)

[@Sanjura45]

Nice. Glad that you were able to grab yourself a good ole fashion Memebow

[@SirWillyBear]

Still works flawlessey. Tried it on PS5 and works like a charm. Thank you for the guide!

[@verlassen1349]

Took me a good bit of cures to get the RNG right, but this method is the only "guaranteed" method i've tried that has actually worked 100%

[@MsDouggieFresh]

ty for this awesome guide, used it 5 years ago and im replaying the game and just wanted to say still works 👍 playing on ps5

[@tommieves1404]

I think they may have changed the RNG as I have been trying for over an hour an a half but 88,97,90 does not come out concurrently, maybe I'm doing something wrong but I followed the guide and it's just not happening :(

[@gfv]

this is a perfect tutorial. Just got 4 Seitengrat in like 15 minutes, on the PS4 version. I really like to think this is some kind of Reks messing with the multiverse lol

[@VagrantAce]

At first I got 10 GIL, I screwed up.. Then I did it again and it worked!! whoever discovered this is truly a genius!

[@simranjitsingh2cj]

Will this method work in the Nintendo switch version of the game?

[@justinsindicic6602]

Does this work on switch? I've been casting cure with Reks and I haven't seen the 88 97 90 sequence. Followed the steps exactly. I'm on about 3 hours of casting cure, now

[@JakeHennett]

Tried following the wiki instructions. They left out the timing part. Watching for the walking guy, I got it 3 times in a row. Awesome.

[@Pedro2005100]

thaaaaank yooooou, after four days trying all those methods this one really did work every time. this is the only 100% method i've seen so far, i had to use the 97 94 95 though, got three bows 10 minutes after finding this video

[@crazyhamsterfeet]

Can confirm this works. I have 3. 2 with this combination and then the original numbers suddenly came up and that worked too! You are a legend sir. (Ah I'm commenting on the alternative method in the description. 3 different numbers and the child instead. Though once this method worked too)

[@claudiasousa9053]

Thanks to your method i was able to get a Seitengrat today. My only problem has to do with farming more Seitengrat. After the first one, the invisible treasure only gives me 10 gil. But having one is better than having none! Thanks!

[@nix2939]

My 2nd one was 10 gil too. Oh well, I think more than 1 is probably overkill lol

[@jianwenyip6460]

THIS WORKED ON MY FIRST AND SECOND TRY, 1.05 patch, 88-97-90, MUCH better than the other methods. Oh and just in case anyone has the same, i had Rek's max HP at 135 and max MP at 42. Still worked anyway. THANK YOU SO MUCH !

[@johnanthony6092]

Works 100% as claimed. Also, it doesn't matter who is in the party, what they have equipped - even if it has regen on it (regen definitely affects RNG in normal combat area), and you can run it all in turbo mode though I would advocate turning turbo off once guy is getting ready to head back upstairs for the 4th time. I had 3 characters in my group of 6 who all had regen on plus another with the Ring of Renewal. I put Diamond Armlet on Vaan and then put two other characters in the party with him. Oh yeah, I also have Reddas too. Still worked fine.

[@lvwonder]

I've been trying for hours and I can't get the 3 numbers to show up. Any help will be appreciated...

[@natashah5512]

This still works in 2020. I was a little worried at first because I couldn't get the right numbers to pop for reks for quite a while but once I got them for the first bow it only took a handful of castes to get them for the remaining 5 bows.

[@SoundtrackEffect]

Yes! It works like a charm but for me it was his second method of 97, 94, 95 (look link in description) and the RNG comes pretty as soon as I cast a few Cures. Once I got ny first 97 if the second cure was 94 the third was guaranteed to be 95. People should really consider looking his description in case this video didn't help cause I was expecting 88, 97, 90 but I never had those. Maybe it is because of my Ps4 system so I tried the method with 97, 94, 95 and worked for me and the chest was ALWAYS there. Plus, I found the kid npc to be much easier to handle. Just go up the stairs of the deck, wait for him to go close to his father and then for him to run back to his corner. Before he goes to the corner he makes a stop in the middle. Once he stops moving on the middle, press X and you are guaranteed to get Seitengrat. :) i swear this man saved us all.

[@ipanemastwerr2136]

I can't believe it worked, after several hours trying to get the 88, 97, 90, I readl a comment saying that 97, 92, 95 also works and woooosh, got the seitengrat 🖤 thanks for your help.

[@Huginja]

Just tested this method (took about 20 mins with the whole setup). It still works, even in the german version, the same way

[@micaras]

This is the only method that worked for me. I tried all the others (20 seconds, 30 seconds plus zoning up to 7 times, 32 steps) and only the zoning one ever spawned the chest, but the chest was always 10 gil even when opening it on the kid's 4th trip back to his parent. I wasted my entire morning and early afternoon on these methods. Tried the Reks cure method and BAM! 6 Seitengrats in under 20 minutes. :-D

[@UltracoreUltraUranium]

Worked exactly as intended. Thanks . Just follow his steps and you'll get 1. I've got 2 using this method. 3 total.

[@kanetidus]

OMG, yes my first bow, in the end I manage to "trigger" 88, 97, 90. It's 5AM, but totally wort it, thank you!

[@Yeastextract]

Perfect, other methods weren't working for me but using this I got 3 Seitengrats in less than 15 minutes. Thank you!

[@unsightedraptor8201]

Thanks for this tutorial, I was getting frustrated with all the other 100% seitengrat methods. This video was just what I needed, now I can kill baddies with my invisible bow.

[@Mubashar_Asghar]

Thanks it still works! (Ps5 playing ps4 version) (27/04/2024). The diamond amulet trick however might be fixed, it wasn’t saving for me in my inventory by bringing it over from the trial mode so I had to equip it in the trial to bring it over and even after it only ever spawned once and every time after seems to be potions without it equipped and headgear with it equipped so it might be patched, though you really only need 1 anyway.

[@jielibai2912]

I tried the other methods and they didn't work for me. This worked every time. Also, I had Reddas in my party as a guest, so it works regardless of how far in game you are or if you have any guest.

[@OrangeXenon54]

Thank you so much for this!!! I wish more people knew this/saw this. You're a lifesaver!

[@Taurunosaurus]

My god it works on my Pro. Thank you so much. After running back and forth for 2 hours to get it legitimately, it was not even spawned one. All hail the auto save lol.

[@ronnoc12345]

My reks has 136 HP, not 132. I've been doing this for awhile and not getting the numbers. What's going wrong?

[@0987654ewsxcvbhjjhg]

Im huge f'in skeptic but this is 100% every time. Thank you so much bro! [Update 10 minutes later] i now have three! If your having trouble rolling 88 97 90 for cure, close ff12 restart it, load your reks file and make sure to set your cursor and battle speed before casting that first cure.
