Recommended level: ---
Locations: (Rydia's Tale) Sylph Cave (B2) or Passage of the Eidolons (B1)

This will probably come naturally. If you want to get it early I recommend Sylph Cave (B2) or Passage of the Eidolons (B1) on Rydia's tale. Sylph Cave has a 3 goblin battle (paired with 3 of the weaker version) and Passage of the Eidolons has a 4 goblin battle.




Recommended level: ---
Location: (Edge's Tale) Izayoi (Waxing Moon) - Tower of Trials

This is the best spot to farm them, there are only 3 different type of encounters and cockatrice will always shown in a group of 3.




Mindflayer is the only dropp-able summon that is not possible to get in the Crystals tale. Make sure to get it while you can.

Recommended level: 30+
Location: (Palom's Tale) Lodestone Cavern - B2

More specific northeast room, Mindflayer encounters here are quite common (2 Mindflayers ,Will Priests, Mindflayers and another enemies ,etc). I recommend using Fira to take them down fast.




Recommended level: 40+
Location: (The Crystals:True Moon) Subterrane - B5 (Southeast Room)
Optional: Rare Band V1/V2

This is in the same room where you fight the Flan Princess.
I recommend having equipped the Rare Band V1 or V2 (for higher chances) and a good melee team so you can just use auto-battle.
They usually appear in groups of 2 with an Ebony Dragon or just one with an Evil Dreamer.

First go to the pub in Troia. Buy a Member's Writ card (2500 Gil) from the lady by the entrance.



Talk to the NPC by the north wall to open a secret passage. Take the secret passage to the King's Bounty pub and talk to the NPC to watch the show.



Enter the dressing room which is on the right side and buy a Member's Card to the dancer for 5000 Gil. (There's also a chest on this room which contains a Lustful Lali-ho. Pick this up and choose NO when Leonora ask you about it.)



Now go talk to the NPC by the southeast to open another secret passage leading to the Queen's Bounty pub. Like before, talk to the NPC to watch the show. You can access to two dressing rooms afterwards.



Go right first and talk to the first dancer. You MUST buy a Queen's whip (6800 Gil) since It's the only whip Leonora can equip and she needs a whip for a band in a later tale.



Now go to the left dressing room. I recommend doing so if you want a free Black Tail.
Buy a VIP Card from the NPC (10000 Gil).



With it in hand, talk to the NPC in eastern desk to open a path to the Inmortal bar.



Watch the show and afterwards grab the chest on the way out which contains a Black Tail.

You may want to collect these at the start of the gathering tale since they're the only way in the game to get the Rainbow tail. The tail collector is located in Eblan Cave and his trade rates are: 14 Small tails = Rainbow tail, 7 Small tails = any colored tail.

Note: You can revisit this area.



I recommend picking the Green Tail if you're thinking of getting the other tails the normal (farming) way.


Black Tail - Twin Stars (Half MP)
Blue Tail - Blue Armor (Strong Armor for Men)
Ebony Tail - Taunt Ring (Draw most attacks towards you)
Gold Tail - Gil Band V2 (Gil x2 earned after battle )
Green Tail - Rare Band V2 (Increase chance of rare items after battle)
Grey Tail - Rear Ring (Ignore row when attacking)
Purple Tail - Treasure Hunter V2 (Increase chance of items after battle)
Red Tail - Level Band V2 (Exp x 1.5 earned after battle)
White Tail - Rapid Ring V2 (Decrease standby delay for actions)

The only tail that you can't obtain via traing Small Tails is the Pink Tail. Every other tail-related achievement can be easily obtained in a short period by saving just before trading with the tail trader.

The tail trader is located in the Cave of Eblan. There's a save point nearby for your convenience. There's another screenshot of it in the Small Tails section for reference.



Once you've gotten however many tails you can afford, head to the Lunar whale's teleporter to head to the ??? which is unlocked after reaching the Depths.



Find the colored tail trader to trade in tails for the special equipment and their respective achievements.



Reload. Repeat. Achieve.

Step 1: Gold Tail
The Gold tail is much easier to get in Edward's chapter than trying to farm drops for it.
Bronze Tails:

• Damcyan, in a flowerbed outside by the eastern tower
  
• Damcyan storage room (south stairs from Edward's room), in a hidden passage
  
• Antlion's Den (Damycan side), innermost room, west side
  
  
  
  
• Impact Crater - steam vent near Harley
  
• Underground Waterway - Behind the Falls 1F - in a secret passage southwest of the area
  
• Underground Waterway - Underground Falls - western side of the map
  
  
  
• Underground Waterway - Waterway Entrance - South - 2 bronze tails close to each other located in the water (center-left of the entire map)
  
  
  
  
• Kaipo - behind the npc on the 2nd floor of the inn
  
  
  
  
• Baron - in the water (take a left just after descending the waterfall)
  
  

Silver Tails:

• Antlion's Den - in a boulder at the bottom of the den during a New Moon
  
• Baron - weapon and armor shop - behind the counter through a hidden passage (weapon shop chest)

This will get you 10 Bronze Tails and 2 Silver Tails so you need to farm 5 more Bronze Tails to get a Gold Tail in return, the following enemies have bronze Tails:

• 01 - Adamantoise - Antlion's Den
  
• 02 - Alligator - North Waterway
  
• 07 - Gigas Gator - North Waterway - Underground Lake
  
• 12 - Sand Worm - Damcyan - Desert
  
• 16 - Splasher - North Waterway
  
• 23 - Basilisk - Antlion's Den
  
• 24 - Hundlegs - Damcyan - Desert
  
• 25 - Hydra - Baron - Outskirts

I recommend the Antlion Den or Damcyan Desert for farming. Once you have obtained enough (2 Silver, 15 Bronze) then go to the North Waterway Entrance outside Kaipo and look for the Tail Collectors assistant near the start. He will exchange all of these until you have a Gold Tail, much easier than farming them later in the game.

Step 2: Black Tail
See Palom's Tail above for guide.

Step 3: Small Tails
See above for locations.

• Recommended you get 1 Rainbow Tail and 1 Green Tail from the Tail Collector there as you CAN NOT get a Rainbow Tail anywhere else in the game and a Green Tail will help us farm more Tails.

Step 4: Tail Exchange
Once you reach the area where you can exchange the tails exchange all the ones you have (Rainbow, Gold, Black, Green)

Step 5: Farming for More Green Tails

• Equip the Rare Band v2 you got from the previous step onto anyone and then take the elevator back to the Lunar Whale.
  
• Buy 4 Rare Band's from the Shoppingway thing in the tube and equip all these as well, these effects stack and give you a much better chance.
  
• Buy as Tents/Cottages as you can afford, 99 of each preferably.
  
• Head down to Subterrane - Lair of the Father - B1 and go back one level to the nearest save point.
  
• Save and use Tents/Cottages until it's a Waning Moon.
  
• Return to that location and target Green Dragons, some of are GreenDragon1 and some are GreenDragon2, easy kills, return to change moon cycles as necessary.
  
• When you get another Green Tail go back and exchange it for another Rare Band V2, rinse and repeat until you have 5 Rare Band V2 (Took me about 20 hours)

Step 6: Everything Else

• Once you have completed this you should have almost an 8% chance for a rare drop instead of .043% without the Rare Band V2's
  
• Stock up more Tents/Cottages and reference the information in step 1 to start harvesting the rest of the tails in the game. With 4 out of 11 tails done it shouldn't take that long to get everything else.
  
• Get extra Pink/Blue ones as necessary for crazy armor upgrades (Only surpassed by Adamant Armor)

The entry you get depends on your team composition. Make sure to save before the fight and reload for the best outcome to get all entries.


No Cecil or Golbez: Your party gets hit by darkness, dropping their HP to 1,
then you get killed by rapid attacks. this makes you load your latest checkpoint.


Cecil and Golbez, no Ceodore, no Rosa: You'll get to fight him and win, but Golbez will die and you'll lose him forever (including a bunch of achievements).

Things you'll lose as a result of losing Golbez (if you don't save beforehand): Bestiary entry #151, Golbez, achievements attached to him (Strength in Numbers, Me and My Homies, All grown Up, Mid-life crisis, Over the Hill, Been there, Done that)


Cecil, Golbez, Ceodore, and Rosa : Everyone lives. You get the bestiary entry and Cecil returns to normal. This is the best outcome.
