Raithwall the Dynast King was buried in the tomb his followers built for him in a mountain beyond the Nam - Yensa Sandsea . The area is one of the parts of Ivalice known as Jagd making air travel to the tomb impossible by regular means . The party visits the Tomb on their quest to find the Dawn Shard to prove Ashe ' s lineage so she could assume Dalmasca ' s throne . She promises to take only the nethicite and let the sky pirate Balthier have the rest of King Raithwall ' s treasures . On their journey the party is joined by Vossler , Ashe and Basch ' s old comrade from the Resistance . The party makes their way to the heart of the tomb and fights the Esper Belias only to discover Belias was the treasure . Balthier is unimpressed , having expected the treasure to be something financially measurable . Ashe finds the Dawn Shard and witnesses an apparition of her late husband , Rasler Heios Nabradia , but on their way out the party finds Vossler has betrayed them and they are captured by the Empire . The manga version expands on the events . Ashe , Vaan and Penelo attempt to retrieve the Dawn Shard while the others fight Belias . Vaan wants to help the others , but Ashe claims finding the Dawn Shard takes priority . Vaan is unimpressed with Ashe ' s attitude toward power and her friends and abandons her to look for the Dawn Shard alone while he helps the others in battling Belias . Ashe retrieves the Dawn Shard and returns to protect Vaan from the Esper , and the group defeats Belias together . Belias ' s glyph marks itself on the back of Ashe ' s hand as a sign of its servitude to her . Ashe and Vaan see an apparition of Rasler , and Ashe thinks back to their marriage . Quests . Demonsbane Sword . After having defeated both Demon Walls , the party can touch the blue crystal where the first demon emerged 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 . Demonsbane will keep on re - spawning endlessly . At this point it is one of the most powerful weapons , being beaten only by ; the Burning Bow ( rare drop from Dive Talon s ) , Arcturus ( Bazaar ) , Francisca ( Bazaar ) , Zwill Crossblade ( Bazaar ) , and Kagenui ( Bazaar ) but these weapons are 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 may not equip the Diamond Armlet . Rare Game . Upon entering Southfall Passage , the player must find a Lich and fight it , but not kill it . By lowering its HP to HP Critical it will be prompted to use Divide , spawning another Lich . There is a 20 % chance the spawned Lich will be the Cultsworn Lich . Spawned Liches will only divide once and divided Liches will not divide . Higher level characters may have difficulty in reducing a Lich ' s HP without killing it . 1000 Needles is a perfect Technick for this Barmuu spawns in the waystones area of the Royal Passage after the player chains at least 12 foes of the same type ( it is recommended to chain the Seeker foes in Royal Passage ) , however , the player must not leave the area . To find the Zombie Lord the player must have spoken to the " Huntmaster " in Phon Coast and defeated Thalassinon , which will trigger the start of the Rare Game quest . The Zombie Lord can then be found in the Northfall Passage part . It can appear at one of five locations throughout the area , but only if the game ' s clock is between 0 and 29 minutes . It can only be killed once . Shops . Dyce . Dyce is found at the entrance to the Tomb of Raithwall . After the party has progressed past this point , he will no longer be there . Musical themes .
