Wrymhero Sword

[nick]

I've been sick for awhile, just playing FFXII. I was wondering if anyone could give a simple guide to what I need to get and how to get it. The walkthroughs don't help me much.

[Pacman]

To get the Wyrmhero Blade you need to have 1 Lu Shang's Badge, 1 Godslayer's Badge and 1 Omega Badge. When you get those, I think you have to sell them , and then the weapon will apear on the Bazaar. You can then purchase it for 65535Gil.

Follow the walkthrough we are hosting.

The main objective to play this Mini-Game is Lu Shang's Badge, which is
named Taikou/Lu Shang's Badge on the Japanese version. It's one of the three
treasures for Wyrmhero Blade (US)/Tolo Sword (JP) trading.

Read the 'Special Trading' under "Secret Matters" section for the details.
Of cause you could get some other treasures during the process.

7a-4-1. -----------------------------------------------------------------------

< Starting >

After you get the Barheim Key (side quest above), and the story reached to
Port At Balfonheim,

- Back to Dalmasca Estersand Gate Crystal section, talk to Ruksel who's
  looking at the river, knowing he wants to fishing. 
- Return to Port At Balfonheim, the South-East section which is the road
  to Airship Terminal/Aerodrome.
- Find the fishing old man around the crates area and talk to him twice,
  then choose the first option.
- Now go further from the old man, but don't leave this section.
  After awhile back to the same place, and the old man is gone,
  examine the fishing rod there to obtain Muramata.
- Move back to Dalmasca Estersand and pass the Muramata to Ruksel to start
  this Mini-Game.

If you've completed Mysterious Man/Gilgamesh rank H Mob Hunt mission, you will
get Blue, Green, Red, Yellow and Black Bottle during the fishing one by one.
With the hints from the Bottles, find five letters from the locations below:

Blue Bottle

  Find the Wind Shrine at North-West area, check it to get the letter.

Yellow Bottle
- Cerobi Steppe,
  Go turn on the windmill No.1, 2, 5, 7, 9, turn off 3, 4, 6, 8, 10. If you
  do so, you will get the letter automatically, make sure double check to
  confirm all of them have been fixed right.

After you got all five letters, move on to Barheim Passage to find Gilgamesh.
Go to the longest railway in the middle known as Zeviah Span, you can see a
small area at the South of this section, and you can only reach there from
South. Enter that small area to watch a scene with Gilgamesh and Enkidou.
Here is the location:

After all, you will obtain Matamune demon rod. Now return and pass this rod
to Ruksel in Dalmasca Estersand, continue fishing until you get Upstream.
At the beginning, you can only fish in the Downstream, get 5 or more perfect
fishing (no mistake) to unlock the Midstream. 5 more perfect fishing in the
Midstream to unlock the Upstream.

    Getting the Lu Shang's Badge
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Now with the Matamune, you can obtain Saboten Bond/Cactoid Compact in the
Upstream. Continue fishing in the new fishing spot, Hidden Shoals. You will
eventually get the Saboten Crest/Cactoid Commendation. Now fish in the last
fishing spot, named Den of the River Lord (name Master Den for JP version).
Try your best to get  9 successfully command input  for the King Of Nebra,
then lastly obtain the  Lu Shang's Badge,  which is the trading treasure
for Wyrmhero Blade/Tolo Sword.

Note/Tips:
  I've heard the Saboten Crest/Cactoid Commendation in Hidden Shoals is
  random, not too sure, but I got it at my fifth perfect fishing.

  For the last fishing spot, Den of the River Lord, you just need to get
  9 sucessfully fishing to get the Lu Shang's Badge/Taikou Chest. And it's
  simple since you don't need to get perfect fishing exaclty, as long as
  you got 9 times, the loot is yours.

  Try to memorize the buttons like this:
    .-----------------------------.
    |   R 1    L 2     ^     [ ]  |
    |   R 2    L 1     X     ->   |
    '-----------------------------'

  Nothing other than practice, keep your cool during the process.
  Relax and chew a chewing-gum seems work for me lol

I already know this, it is just a bad walkthrough, I shouldn't have to go on a scavenger hunt to piece together the guide on my own.

[JudgeMagisterBalthier]

Let's put it this way...all the rare items ARE a scavenger hunt..and by the time you get the wyrmhero blade you've beaten the strongest enemies in the game so it's just for show really.
