===Strategy===
⚫
The first Demon Wall is optional and can be fought later. The second Demon Wall is not, and once the player enters the Hall of the Sentinel the Demon Wall will advance towards the player. The Demon Wall has a special attack, [[Telega]], which inflicts X-Zone, a [[status effect|status effect]] that teleports a character to an alternate dimension, which makes the character inaccessible until the player moves to a new area. It also has some powerful spells in its arsenal. Demon Wall inflicts characters with [[Poison (status)|Poison]], [[Sleep (status)|Sleep]], [[Blind (status)|Blind]], and [[Silence (status)|Silence]].
  
  +
The most efficient means of bringing down the Demon Wall is the use of [[Reflect (status)|Reflect]] and [[Aero]]; after [[Dark (ability)|Dark]], Aero one of the few early spells to target multiple enemies. Aero, despite a higher [[MP (stat)|MP]] cost, is also preferable to Dark because the [[Cherry Staff (Final Fantasy XII)|Cherry Staff]] [[Elemental Affinity|enhances]] its damage. Every time Aero is cast, all four party members (including [[Vossler York Azelas|Vossler]]), will project a missile at the Demon Wall for around 300-600 damage each.
   
  ⚫
The player can cast [[Berserk (ability)|Berserk]] on the heavy-hitters before applying Reflect. With one character covering magick, and another character keeping the Reflect buff active, Vossler and the other attackers can keep hacking away.
⚫
A potential aid is the placing of several pedestals lining both sides of the Hall of the Sentinel. Touching these pedestals will either slow down or speed up the Demon Wall, depending on which pedestal is chosen. The order of the pedestals is the same every time (this is not true in the Japanese version, in which each pedestal's effect is random on each playthrough). [[Battle Speed|Battle speed]] plays a role in this battle: if the battle speed is set on high, the party's attacks will be faster on the Demon Wall, even though it will be moving at the same speed.

==Optional Demon Wall==
  +
The optional Demon Wall is much stronger and more difficult than the required one.
−
The most efficient means of bringing down the Demon Wall, short of launching an all-out assault, is the use of [[Reflect (status)|Reflect]] and [[Aero]]. Aero is the spell of choice here because it's available at an early time, and after [[Dark (ability)|Dark]], it's one of the few early spells which targets multiple enemies.
  
   
  ⚫
Because of the short time in store before it crushes the party, combined with the arsenal of status ailments it constantly casts, the party stands little chance of winning when they first encounter it if they have not learned their [[Quickening (ability)|Quickenings]] yet.
−
Aero, despite a higher [[MP (stat)|MP]] cost, is also preferable to Dark because the [[List of Final Fantasy XII weapons#Cherry Staff|Cherry Staff]] [[Elemental Affinity|enhances]] its damage, like the [[List of Final Fantasy XII weapons#Flame Staff|Flame Staff]] does with [[Fire (element)|fire-type]] spells. If all members of the party have the Cherry Staff equipped and know Aero, the player can simply buff them with Reflect and set their [[gambits]] to spam any ally with Aero.
  
   
  ⚫
Quickening chain is the best early-game strategy. However, the above strategy for the non-optional Demon Wall can be used, though it is recommendable to turn the battle mode to Wait to keep spells coming out quickly. Having [[Final Fantasy XII items#Ether|Ether]]s and Channeling augments helps.
⚫
Every time Aero is cast, all four party members (including [[Vossler York Azelas|Vossler]]), will project a missile at the Demon Wall for around 300-600 damage each. If the player is using a more traditional party, and not everybody knows Aero, they can try casting [[Berserk (ability)|Berserk]] on the heavy hitters before applying Reflect. With one character covering magic, and another character keeping the Reflect buff active, Vossler and the other attackers can make up the difference quite nicely.

[[File:Demonsbane sword.jpg|thumb|Fran with Demonsbane.]]
−
The optional Demon Wall is much stronger and more difficult than the required one (hence the location name Hall of the Destroyer). Beating the optional Demon Wall leads to the possibility of obtaining an unlimited supply of [[List of Final Fantasy XII weapons#Demonsbane|Demonsbane Swords]], an advanced weapon for this point in the game (Attack power of 59).
  
  +
In the original [[PlayStation 2]] version the player can get a [[Demonsbane (Final Fantasy XII)|Demonsbane]] sword for defeating the optional Demon Wall.
   
  ⚫
After having defeated both Demon Walls, the party can touch the azure jewel where the first demon came out to reveal a [[Hidden passage|secret area]]. The [[Treasure (Final Fantasy XII)|treasure]], which sometimes contains the Demonsbane sword, is at the bottom of either stairwell (they both lead to the same place). Because the chances of the sword spawning are slim, it is advised to save the game before entering. If the sword is not in the chest, one can restart and try again.
⚫
Because of the short time in store before the Demon Wall crushes the party against the wall, combined with the arsenal of negative status effects it constantly casts on the party, the party stands little chance of winning a battle when they first encounter it if they have not learned their [[Quickening (ability)|Quickenings]] yet.
  
   
  ⚫
At this point, it is one of the most powerful weapons, being beaten only by the [[Burning Bow]] (rare [[Item drop|drop]] from [[Dive Talon]]s), [[Arcturus (Final Fantasy XII)|Arcturus]] (Bazaar), [[Francisca (Final Fantasy XII)|Francisca]] (Bazaar) and [[Zwill Crossblade (Final Fantasy XII)|Zwill Crossblade]] (Bazaar), but these four are much harder to obtain before entering the tomb.
⚫
Quickening chain is by far the best early-in-the-game strategy. However, if the party is around the level 16-18 the above strategy for the non-optional Demon Wall can be used, but it is recommendable to turn the battle mode to Wait, rather than Active, so the player can keep spells coming out quickly. The player should also have either [[Ether]]s, Channeling augments, and/or two to three mist charges for MP.

The chest has a 70% chance to spawn and if the chest spawns, it has a 27.5% chance to contain Demonsbane. The player cannot equip the [[Final Fantasy XII accessories/Original#Diamond Armlet|Diamond Armlet]].

After having defeated both Demon Walls, the party can touch the Blue Crystal where the first demon came out to reveal a [[Hidden passage|secret area]]. The [[Treasure (Final Fantasy XII)|treasure]], which sometimes contains the Demonsbane sword, is at the bottom of either stairwell (they both lead to the same place). Because the chances of the sword spawning are slim, it is advised to save the game before entering. If the sword is not in the chest, one can restart and try again. Demonsbane will keep on re-spawning endlessly.
  
   
  ⚫
In the ''Zodiac'' versions, the chest contains only a [[Final Fantasy XII items#Scathe Mote|Scathe Mote]].

At this point in the game, it is one of the most powerful weapons, being beaten only by; the [[List of Final Fantasy XII weapons#Burning Bow|Burning Bow]] (rare [[Item drop|drop]] from [[Dive Talon]]s), [[List of Final Fantasy XII weapons#Arcturus|Arcturus]] (Bazaar), [[List of Final Fantasy XII weapons#Francisca|Francisca]] (Bazaar) and [[List of Final Fantasy XII weapons#Zwill Crossblade|Zwill Crossblade]] (Bazaar), but these four weapons are much harder to obtain before entering the tomb.

Battle

Demon Wall continually advances on the party and its proximity to the back wall is indicated by a gauge to the right of the screen. When it reaches the end of the hall a cutscene shows the wall crushing the party, causing a Game Over.

The first Demon Wall is optional and can be fought later. The second Demon Wall is mandatory, and once the player enters the Hall of the Sentinel it will advance towards the player. Its special attack, Telega, inflicts X-Zone, a status effect that teleports a character to an alternate dimension, which makes the character inaccessible until the player moves to a new area. It also has some powerful spells in its arsenal and can inflict the party with Poison, Sleep, Blind, and Silence.

Several pedestals line the sides of the Hall of the Sentinel. Touching them either slow sdown or speeds up the Demon Wall. The order of the pedestals is the same every time (this is not true in the original Japanese version, in which each pedestal's effect is random on each playthrough). If the Battle Speed is set on high, the party damages the Demon Wall faster, even though it will be moving at the same speed.

Strategy

The most efficient means of bringing down the Demon Wall is the use of Reflect and Aero; after Dark, Aero one of the few early spells to target multiple enemies. Aero, despite a higher MP cost, is also preferable to Dark because the Cherry Staff enhances its damage. Every time Aero is cast, all four party members (including Vossler), will project a missile at the Demon Wall for around 300-600 damage each.

The player can cast Berserk on the heavy-hitters before applying Reflect. With one character covering magick, and another character keeping the Reflect buff active, Vossler and the other attackers can keep hacking away.

Optional Demon Wall

The optional Demon Wall is much stronger and more difficult than the required one.

Because of the short time in store before it crushes the party, combined with the arsenal of status ailments it constantly casts, the party stands little chance of winning when they first encounter it if they have not learned their Quickenings yet.

Quickening chain is the best early-game strategy. However, the above strategy for the non-optional Demon Wall can be used, though it is recommendable to turn the battle mode to Wait to keep spells coming out quickly. Having Ethers and Channeling augments helps.

In the original PlayStation 2 version the player can get a Demonsbane sword for defeating the optional Demon Wall.

After having defeated both Demon Walls, the party can touch the azure jewel where the first demon came out to reveal a secret area. The treasure, which sometimes contains the Demonsbane sword, is at the bottom of either stairwell (they both lead to the same place). Because the chances of the sword spawning are slim, it is advised to save the game before entering. If the sword is not in the chest, one can restart and try again.

At this point, it is one of the most powerful weapons, being beaten only by the Burning Bow (rare drop from Dive Talons), Arcturus (Bazaar), Francisca (Bazaar) and Zwill Crossblade (Bazaar), but these four are much harder to obtain before entering the tomb.

The chest has a 70% chance to spawn and if the chest spawns, it has a 27.5% chance to contain Demonsbane. The player cannot equip the Diamond Armlet.

In the Zodiac versions, the chest contains only a Scathe Mote.
