The Phon Coast (フォーン海岸, Fōn kaigan^?) is a location in the land of Ivalice in Final Fantasy XII. It has white sandy beaches that need to be crossed to reach Archades by land.

Phon Coast was the first area in the game the fans could play at the 2004 E3 conference. The area is also included in the playable demo released in North America a year before the game, sporting different enemies than in the final game version.

LocationEdit

Connecting the regions of Nabradia and Archadia, the Phon Coast is located between the Salikawood and the Tchita Uplands.

Areas within Phon Coast are:

Kaukula Pass - leads to the Salikawood, contains a Save Crystal and where the Strahl is berthed.
The Reseta Strand
The Mauleia Strand
Pora-Pora Sands - contains a Chocobo path.
Cape Tialan
Cape Uahuk
The Hakawea Shore - a Wayward Chocobo lurks here.
Hunter's Camp - contains a Notice Board, Gate Crystal, Chocobo Stables, Item Shop, and the Hunt Club.
Caima Hills - a Wayward Chocobo lurks here.
The Vaddu Strand
Limatra Hills
Rava's Pass - leads to the Tchita Uplands and contains a Save Crystal.

Sage KnowledgeEdit

Phon CoastEdit

"Coastal region lying along the Phon Straits which divide Archadia from Nabradia. Praised for its beautiful beaches of white sand, and lush greenery. A hunter's camp along the coast attracts adventurers and headhunters, forming a community where they might exchange information and rest between expeditions."

—Sage Knowledge #58: Phon Coast

The Hunter CampEdit

"Of the many hunters roaming Ivalice, the best of the best, seeking out the rarest of marks, are known to gather in a camp along the Phon Coast. Unlike clans, the hunters that collect here have no leader, and all information exchanges, activities to support the camp, and payments for such, are handled on an individual basis."

—Sage Knowledge #26: The Hunter Camp

WeatherEdit

Phon Coast has three different weather conditions:

Sunny
Cloudy
Rain

The weather is either sunny or cloudy/rain. During the cloudy/rain weather, the weather changes when zoning between areas within the Coast. Air Elemental is encountered during rain in the Pora-Pora Sands and Limatra Hills areas. During rain, Fire damage is halved and Lightning damage is boosted.

TreasuresEdit

Phon Coast has a lot of Hi-Potions and Motes as item treasures. With the Diamond Armlet equipped, the common item treasure is a Knot of Rust and the rare treasure is a good healing item, like an Elixir, or a high-level Mote, such as the Scathe Mote.

In the Reseta Strand, there is a treasure that spawns in the middle of the northern edge of the area that can have the Metal Jerkin. The Mauleia Strand area has treasures all around its southern edge, and one of them can have the Murasame. In Pora-Pora Sands the treasure in the northeast can have the Aldebaran. In the Cape Uahuk area, in the southeast, there are treasures that can have the Black Garb and Black Cowl.

In the southeast of the Cape Tialan area, multiple treasures spawn. The player may find the Halberd, Diamond Shield, another Aldebaran, and a Gokuu Pole, among multiple other treasures. In Caima Hills, there is a treasure that spawns a bit off the entrance from Hunters' Camp that may have the Thorned Mace. In Limatra Hills the treasure that spawns nearest to the entrance from Caima Hills can have the Adamant Hat. A treasure that spawns near to the exit to the Save Crystal area can have the Recurve Crossbow.

Forbidden ChestEdit

Phon Coast contains a treasure that, once claimed, prevents the player from obtaining the Zodiac Spear (the game's most powerful weapon) in Necrohol of Nabudis. The forbidden chest is among the 16 chests found on the beach in Vaddu Strand. All the chests contain only Knots of Rust so the player can easily ignore them all even if only one of them is the forbidden one. The 16 chests on the Phon Coast actually correspond with the 16 chests in the Necrohol of Nabudis, and once claimed, will disappear from both locations, which is why claiming the treasure at Phon Coast prevents the player from getting the spear at Necrohol of Nabudis.

However, if the player claims the chests with the Diamond Armlet equipped, all the chests contain Dark Matter instead of Knots of Rust. It is advised to first claim the Zodiac Spear, and later claim all the other chests with the Diamond Armlet equipped, either at the Necrohol or at Phon Coast.

The concept of forbidden chests was removed for the International Zodiac Job System version.

StoryEdit

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

The party passes through Phon Coast on their way to Archades, where Ashe wants to destroy the Empire's nethicite with the Sword of Kings. Balthier, who has seen Ashe's interest in the nethicite grow during their journey, stops to warn Ashe of the stones' power while the party takes a break on Phon Coast.

Balthier then goes on to reveal that Dr. Cid is his father and that he used to be a judge before he ran away from Archades to become a sky pirate. He doesn't want Ashe to end up the same way as his father did.

With this in mind, Ashe still decides to carry on her journey, and the party leaves the coast to travel inland toward the capital.

Spoilers end here.

Hunters' CampEdit

Phon Coast is a popular meeting place for hunters of all types, shapes, and sizes. A noticeboard for checking Marks is situated in the center of the camp. If the player has killed the Earth Tyrant, Rimzat can be found in the Hunters' Camp and talks about what went on after the Earth Tyrant's death. After the Antlion hunt in the Lhusu Mines has been completed, the Site 11 Key can be found in the Hunters' Camp, next to a fallen Bhujerban.

QuestsEdit

Hunt ClubEdit

List of Rare Game found here.

A group of unruly bangaa hunters operate out of one of the docked ships. Rather than Marks, they prefer to hunt the more elusive Rare Game. After completing the series of events in Archades, they petition Vaan to hunt for them and return with trophies received from defeating the rarest of creatures. There are 30 Trophies in total, and depending on which bangaa Vaan gives the trophies to, he gets varying rewards for his efforts. The objective is to collect the 30 trophies and trade them to Atak, Stok and Blok to unlock items in the Shifty-Eyed Merchant's store. Unfortunately, since there are only 30 trophies, it is impossible to unlock everything.

Also, the player can visit the Highgarden Terrace in Archades and talk to the Hunt Club Owner and he will reward the player for finding the 30 trophy monsters. Highgarden Terrace is only accessible with a Sandalwood Chop, an item granting its owner access to the higher class areas of Archades.

Small KeyEdit

After defeating Antlion in the Lhusu Mines the player can find a small key next to a fallen Bhujerban. This unlocks a gate in Lhusu Mines to get to the deepest parts of the complex.
