completing the bestiary

[Jimmayus]

I'm trying to find zombies in barheim passage and ghosts in garamscythe waterway; I feel kind of stupid for not having found them already, is there some specific way to get them, or are they one-time only bestiary additions when you go through them in the story?

Not sure about Zombies, but Ghosts will appear randomly along the east side of the Waterway (the way you travelled when you first found Ashe during the escape from Rabanastre Castle).

Pretty sure Zombies appear in the Stilshrine of Miriam somewhere.

I found zombies in the tomb of raithwall; now I'm workin' on the ghosts and trying to find garchimacera; those are literally the only things I have left besides yiazmat and omega lol

[izembo]

where'd you find the 5 mandragoras?

I recall the chimera things popping in the Zertanian Caverns.

[Garret]

You can find the gorgochimera, or w/e, in Zertinan Caverns, they spawn in the west North & West of where you fight Andromellech, or w/e that Esper's name is.

where'd you find the 5 mandragoras?

The 5 Mandy's appear at once in a one-time battle in Sochen(sp?) Cavern. There are regular Mandy's, whose appearance are the same, but without nice names, like King, Queen, Prince, etc.

To fight the special Sochen Cave Palace mandragoras again, you'll need to fully clear the two Feywood areas before Giruvegan.

The area 2 zones away from Giruvegan (The Edge of Reason?) is where one of each (five total) will pop.

By fully clear, that includes all repops, so it might take a while.

Once you defeat the five, you can zone 2 areas away and return to repop the mandragoras without having to fully clear the zones again. I personally ran north toward the area where I fought Rafflesia.

You'll need to kill 15 of each to get the 2nd bestiary pages (14 after the boss battle).

Btw, getting onions to unlock Megalixir in the bazaar can definitely suck.

Hope that helps,

[Delenn]

Oh, and I almost forgot, the five mandragoras start at ~lv42. If you let them stay together and alive, they'll jump 10-15 levels periodically, capping at lv99 with ~17,000 HP.

At that point they can easily deal 9999 damage to lv66 characters, which required me to use Mist Quickenings. Moral of the story, beware of spamming steal on these, it's better to just chain them.

[Jimmayus]

there's a difference between the chimeras y'all talked about and the ones in the bestiary; the ones in the bestiary are like Elvorets in Nabudis, not like the cockatrices

[Jimmayus]

sorry to ask again, I didn't realize there were humanoids you needed to kill besides the yensa. Anybody know where there's a killable Bangaa and Seeq?
I know the bangaa is in the phon coast but not sure where, and Seeq is in thicha but not sure where. Sorry for the inconvenience
