Magic Pot

Anyone know how to kill this thing?

My characters are reasonably strong (Level 77-79 all of them) and they do no damage at all. Not with brute force or with magic.

I was able to set up gambits to kill the Hellwyrm without ever even have a single character die. But this Magic Pot, what the hell is the secret? Am I missing something? I can't seem to dispel its magic...and just am out of ideas. I am guessing I need something special...

i heard you shouldnt attack it but be around near him (not too close) and inawhile a msg should pop up saying it wants a certain item, give it it and then you may steal it back or just attack it.

not sure if this is true i havent tried it.

Ok, thanks.

I just tried attacking it with Measure weapons and that was doing damage but very very slowly! LOL! I'll do what you guys are saying next time I play...

When you want to use stuff on enemies or allies or whoever you want, press R2 or L2 i think and it switches between whoever you wanna use it on.

I run away from them... I fed one magic pot 4 elixirs and it wouldn't stop and i couldn't steal jack back!

Yes people have given it Elixers and beaten it, may take a bit of patience to get it back, but it's possible.

all you have to do is take your gambits off and walk up to it,(it will not attack until you do)if you walk close enough it will ask for an elixir you give it one (very important not to hit it until after you give it the elixir) the magicpot will jump around happy then you can hit it and kill it make sure to get your elixir back though.

The thing about the Magic Pot is that weapons that are defense ignoring DONT WORK. The only weapons that damage Magic Pot are Guns & Measures. Also, the thing does ALOT of damage per hit, especially with magic. I was fighting the one in Penumbra, after where i fought Pheonix. Sooo....I equipped Balthier with Fomalhaut, Penelo with Euclids Sextant(i only had 2 defense ignoring weapons) and then i would cast decoy on the third party member with the weapon that can't damage the Pot. That way, the Pot would go after the useless 3rd party member while the defense ignore-ers would fight. I found it VERY helpful to equip Aegis Shields on the third party member, so they might last longer against the Pots strong magic. If nearly everyone died, I would run back into the place where i fought Pheonix and heal up! The Pot WONT, i repeat WILL NOT heal up the damage that you did before you ran back into the Pheonix room. Keep doin this until the Pot is dead!
Happy hunting
