Cid Pollendina: Oh, shut up and help me remodel the Cerobi Steppe page!
Please expand this article into a full one. The following tasks need to be completed:
  • Adding a Locations section, with images and brief descriptions of the areas within the location.

This request can be discussed on the associated discussion page. Remove this notice upon completion.

The Cerobi Steppe is a location in the land of Ivalice in Final Fantasy XII. It is flat wilderland that needs to be crossed to reach the Balfonheim Port by land. The Wyrm Philosopher is located here by one of the windmills, and he is a key element in fighting Hell Wyrm.

Cerobi Steppe is normally accessible after the events in Draklor Laboratory, but it is actually possible to enter before going to Archades, by taking a chocobo from Phon Coast and riding it over Tchita Uplands all the way east to the The Shaded Path. The player must talk to the "Game Hunter" standing near the debris, then ascend the debris to enter Cerobi Steppe. However, the Balfonheim Port will be blocked by the Sky Watch.

Sage Knowledge[]

Hilly highlands area in the east of Archadia, through which the highroad to Balfonheim Port passes. Air currents are notoriously unstable between Cerobi and Balfonheim, making land routes here as popular as those of the air. In the past, villagers in the region erected windmills to catch the winds from the Naldoan Sea, and used them to mill grain from the harvest. With advancements in the use of magicks and machineries, however, the windmills fell into disuse and now stand merely as a reminder of the past.

Castle Cornelia PSThis section about a location in Final Fantasy XII is empty or needs to be expanded. You can help the Final Fantasy Wiki by expanding it.

Weather[]

Cerobi Steppe has three weather conditions:

  • Sunny
  • Cloudy
  • Rain

The weather changes when zoning between the areas within the Steppe. During rain, Fire attacks deal half damage and Lightning damage is boosted.

The Undin Entite can be found in North Liavell Hills and The Terraced Bank areas during the rain.

Treasures[]

Ribbon-in-Cerobi-Steppe

Ribbon found on the Cerobi Steppe.

Cerobi Steppe is littered in treasures that have a small chance of containing a special rare item when the Diamond Armlet is equipped. It is possible to exploit the so-called RNG method to obtain the rare item 100% of the time by exploiting the game console's predictable "random number generator".

In the original version, it is also possible to farm Hi-Ethers at the Feddik River area. All of the 10 chests in the area spawn 50% of the time, with 50% chance of containing items, one such being a Leather Gorget, and, 50% to give a Hi-Ether if the treasure is items, without equipping the Diamond Armlet.

In the Zodiac versions, there is a chest in Cerobi Steppe that contains the spell Cleanse.

Quests[]

Chocobo paths[]

South Liavell Hills (the area that leads to Balfonheim) has a chocobo path to the Northsward. From Northsward, a chocobo path leads to the west to Old Elanise Road (the area connecting to Tchita Uplands). It is possible to go from Balfonheim to Tchita Uplands with a chocobo in ~20 seconds using these shortcuts.

It is possible to visit Cerobi Steppe early, even before going to the Sochen Cave Palace, by riding a chocobo from Phon Coast to the west to Tchita Uplands across another chocobo path.

Hunts[]

The Vyraal is a Rank V Mark whose hunt can be undertaken after the events in Draklor Laboratory are complete. The mark can be found in The Northsward area and enemies will be cleared out when the player enters it. The hunt is petitioned by the Viera Wayfarer in the Whitecap pub in Balfonheim. The player will also receive the Viera Rucksack after the battle, which the Viera Wayfarer will take back when the hunt is reported. She lets the player keep the Dragon Scale, item part of the Wyrm Philosopher quest (see below).

Rare Game[]

The player must have spoken to the "Huntmaster" in Phon Coast and defeated Thalassinon and spoken to one of the three bangaa outfitters, which start of the Hunt Club quest. Aspidochelon then has a 40% chance of spawning among the Adamantitans in the Feddik River (three-way split area) area of the Cerobi Steppe.

The best idea is to steal Scarletite from it, then leave the area without killing it, as once killed, Aspidochelon will never respawn. That way the player can get more than one Scarletite from the rare game. Scarletite is an essential loot item in the making of the Tournesol.

Once the player has hunted and vanquished all the foes in the Northsward area, Etherian will drop from the sky to the spot where the last foe is killed. It spawns no matter what the present weather conditions are.

To find the Bluesang the player must have spoken to the "Huntmaster" in Phon Coast and defeated Thalassinon; Bluesang then has a 40% chance of appearing in the Crossfield area between the windmills. If the player is trying to get the Tournesol, the Bluesang is one of the earlier and easier sources of one required Bazaar ingredient, Gemsteel. The player can acquire the Damascus Steel by stealing the item once, exiting two areas and repeating the process, until they have six Damascus Steels. Being a Trophy Rare Game, the Bluesang does not reappear after being killed.

Windmills[]

The player stops a windmill.

There are ten windmills scattered around the area. After having fixed the gate leading to Phon Coast, the moogles of the Craftsmoogles' League can be found in the windmills. During the fishing minigame/sidequest, the player gets a hint to stop certain windmills to get a Hi-Ether and a hint for the Matamune Fishing rod quest. The windmills that must turned on are: No.1, No.2, No.5, No.7, and No.9.

Wyrm Philosopher[]

The Wyrm Philosopher can be found in Windmill #10 in the Northsward zone of the Steppe after slaying the Mark Vyraal, and getting the Dragon Scale reward from the viera. After giving the Dragon Scale to Wyrm Philosopher, he will reward the party with the Age Worn Key, which opens the Hall of Wroth God in Sochen Cave Palace, leading to Hell Wyrm.

Musical themes[]

The theme that plays on Cerobi Steppe is simply called "The Cerobi Steppe". This theme returns in Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings as the theme for exploring Lemurés' overworld.

In the Zodiac Job System version, the Nam-Yensa Sandsea also uses "The Cerobi Steppe" theme.

A live recording of the track is part of the "Ivalice Landscapes" medley on the A New World: intimate music from Final Fantasy - Volume II album.

The map can be bought in Sea Breeze Lane for 4,100 gil.

Behind the scenes[]

Arrow on the Cerobi Steppe.

If the player finds the Seitengrat, an ultimate secret bow added to the Zodiac versions, an arrow (currently equipped arrow type) will appear in the Cerobi Steppe suspended a few feet in the air while the bow is equipped. It is found near the entrance to Old Elanise Road from the Tchita Uplands.

The area where Slyt is fought in Pharos seems to be the rock circle in the pond situated in the middle of Cerobi Steppe. This landmark can be viewed from the Crossfield, Feddik River, North Liavell Hills, Terraced Bank, and Journey's Rest zones.
