Golmore Jungle



The Golmore Jungle is a location in the land of Ivalice in Final Fantasy XII. It is a vast jungle east of the Ozmone Plain. Within the Jungle is Eruyt Village, the home of the viera for whom the Golmore Jungle is a sacred home and a living being which can speak to them directly. The viera refer to it as "the Wood" and personify her as a female.

Golmore Jungle can prove to be a daunting place on the first visit. The status-inducing Malboros run wild through the jungle and also rampant are the Hellhounds and the Diresaur, which can be dangerous early on. The boss battle against Elder Wyrm can be skipped by heading south to the Feywood and running through LV. 38+ enemies to get to the Paramina Rift. The hard monsters encountered can be taken care of using the Immobilize Glitch.

Location
The Golmore Jungle is located to the east of the Ozmone Plain on Jagd Difohr. Paramina Rift lies to the east and the Feywood in the south.

Treasures
Most treasures in the Golmore Jungle contain Potions. When the Diamond Armlet is equipped the common item treasure is Knot of Rust and the rare item is an X-Potion. The player may sometimes find Jackboots in a treasure in the southwestern bit of the Paths of Chained Light area.

The gun Sirius can sometimes be found in the northern edge of the Rustling Chapel area, and Battle Bamboo can sometimes be found in the Greenswathe.

Story
Upon entering the jungle, the party will come across several magickal barriers blocking the paths. Fran explains the viera have placed them and will lead the party to the entrance of Eruyt Village where they speak with the Elder and request passage through the jungle by being given Lente's Tear after saving Mjrn.

Once the party reaches the Dell of the Dreamer, the Elder Wyrm rises and blocks both the exit and entrance, forcing them to fight.
