[edit] Differences between original Yiazmat and this one

In the Bestiary of Final Fantasy XII, it mentions it as the deity among the wyrms. However here, Feolthanos created Yiazmat as an Esper, but he could not control its power so it was sealed in Midlight's Deep. The only similarity is that both of them defy the power of the gods.

[edit] Battle

Yiazmat's basic attack is White Breath, which inflicts Stop and explains why he is even slower than Zalera. Cyclone makes a return which inflicts non-elemental Magic damage, he is also the only unit in the game to instantly kill one foe, which is done via Death Strike. Intercession is a new attack which fortifies all Espers on his side. Yiazmat is credited as the leader, so he isn't hard to find, especially since he is bigger than Tiamat and Elder Wyrm (which he resembles, but is in white).

It is suggested to obtain the Summon Gate before fighting Yiazmat, and there is only one. The suggested Espers to deploy for this fight are Golem (due to his resistance to the Stop status and highest Stamina), Carbuncle (do you need to ask?), and Titan (or any other Melee Esper, but we say Titan since he is Earth-elemental). The suggested leader deployment is Vaan (especially when Anastasia has been fortified), Penelo, Kytes, Basch, and Llyud. You can use Balthier for high damage with his Quickening, Element of Treachery, or Filo for her Auto-Haste Quickening, Wind Soul, and trap abilities.

When you win this battle, Vaan's sword, the Anastasia, is fortified, increasing its Attack, Mind, Stamina, Magick, and Strength by ten each.
