Paramina Rift The Paramina Rift is a location in the land of Ivalice in " Final Fantasy XII " . It is a mountain pass that must be crossed to get to Mt Bur - Omisace . " Final Fantasy XII " . Location . The Paramina Rift is located on Jagd Ramooda , to the northeast of the Ozmone Plain , and is only accessible via the Golmore Jungle . Mt Bur - Omisace lies to the north of the mountain range . To the west , the Rift connects with the Feywood , and the Stilshrine of Miriam is accessible to the south . Weather . Paramina Rift has three different weather conditions : When the Paramina Rift is in a blizzard , entering the Frozen Brook area resets the weather to cloudy . Ice Elementals come out during cloudy weather in the Frozen Brook and Silverflow ' s End areas . Only during a blizzard , can a Leshach Entite be encountered in the Head of the Silverflow and Icebound Flow areas , and the mark Fafnir appears in Silverflow ' s End . Paramina Rift is of snow terrain and therefore all Ice damage is boosted . During a blizzard Fire , Ice and Wind attacks are all boosted , and Water damage is halved . Treasures . The most common item treasures are Phoenix Downs and Blue Fangs . With the Diamond Armlet equipped , the common item treasure is Knot of Rust , and the rare item treasure is X - Potion . The treasure in south and east of the Head of the Silverflow area may have the Osafune . In the dead - end to the east and north the player may find the Betelgeuse . In Freezing Gorge there is a treasure that spawns 50 % of the time , has 50 % chance to contain gil , but when it is an item , it can be either Golden Armor or Serpent Rod . The treasure respawns , so the player may try it repeatedly . In the Frozen Brook area , the treasure that spawns nearest to the northern exits may contain the Quasimodo Boots . The treasure to the east and north may have the Golden Helm , the treasure in the middle is Bangle unless it is gil , and the treasure in the southwest can have the Musk Stick . In Icebound Flow , the treasure that spawns between the two northern exits may have the Glacial Staff . The treasure right before exit to Feywood can have the Ice Shield . In Karydine Glacier , the player may find another Glacial Staff in the northeast dead - end above the frozen river . The treasures in the southeast and southwest may have gambits for attacking foes that are weak or vulnerable to Ice . In the western cutoff area of the Silverflow ' s End many treasures can spawn at the southern end . The player may find Thief ' s Cuffs , Burgonet and Shielded Armor in there . Path of the Firstfall . This chest only appears in the " International Zodiac Job System " version . Spine of the Icewyrm . These chests only appear in the " International Zodiac Job System " version . Quests . Hunts . The Feral Retriever is a Rank III Mark found in the Spine of the Icewyrm area . The hunt becomes available upon reaching Mt Bur - Omisace , so if the player wishes to fight it with Larsa in the party , they should return to Rabanastre upon reaching the mountain to accept the hunt from a hunt board , because he will leave the party if the player proceeds further in the story . It is petitioned by Hymms in Mt Bur - Omisace . Fafnir is a Rank VII Mark that roams the section of Silverflow ' s End accessible from Karydine Glacier during snowstorms , and causes constant rainfall at Mt Bur - Omisace . The hunt becomes available after the events in Giruvegan . The Kiltias Ieeha , who set up the mark for it , took his fellow Kiltias to fight Fafnir , but by the time the player party slays the monster , Ieeha is among those already dead at the monster ' s hands , with only his ring left behind . His death was not in vain , as Fafnir ' s defeat and Ieeha ' s sacrifice inspire a world - weary and cynical viera on the mountain called Relj to aid the residents of Mt Bur - Omisace to begin anew and rebuild what they lost . She is the petitioner for the hunt . Fafnir is considered the hardest regular mark . Talking with Relj triggers the snowstorm , but the weather will change if the party passes through the Frozen Brook . The player should head to the southwest ( left , according to the map ) from Mt Bur - Omisace and circle around Frozen Brook toward Silverflow ' s End ( taking a chocobo is most efficient ) . Another way is to zone in and out of The Feywood until the Paramina Rift is engulfed in a blizzard , and then head straight for Silverflow ' s End . The Trickster is an Elite Mark whose hunt becomes available upon reaching Mt Bur - Omisace . Intrigued by the white chocobo that helped stave off vandals who harassed a chocobo flock and vanished as quickly as it came , Gurdy went to petition for the hunt of this elusive mark . After speaking with Gurdy the player should rent a chocobo ( though this is not needed to find the mark ) from her for 600 gil , then continue down to the Frozen Brook area of the Paramina Rift where the mark will appear . Monid will be waiting . The player can exit and re - enter the area until Monid says the Trickster has appeared ( it might take many tries ; the spawn chance is only 30 % per entry and Monid will not always say when the Trickster has appeared ) . Rare Game . To find Ancbolder the player must have spoken to the " Huntmaster " in Phon Coast and defeated Thalassinon , which will trigger the start of the Rare Game quest . Ancbolder can then be found alongside Anchag after defeating all enemies in the Karydine Glacier area ( this includes the non - aggressive Wild Onion s and the hidden undead ) . Anchag is an easy source of Damascus Steel , an ingredient required for making Gemsteel , one of the ingredients needed for making Tournesol . Contrary to popular belief , the player does not need to leave and re - enter the area to spawn Anchag , simply killing all will spawn it at the center - south region of Karydine Glacier . Though the Ancbolder can only be felled once , the Anchag will appear every time the proper conditions are met , but only once per visit to the Paramina Rift . Anchag can be farmed for Damascus Steel . Enemies . The party revisits the Paramina Rift after they learn the true location of the Judge of Wings . Main Missions . Mission 36 : Ye Who Rest . Mydia travels to the Paramina Rift to view the war memorial to her fallen love , Velis , who died at Battle of Nalbina Fortress . As the party approaches , Mydia taunts and incapacitates Basch , saying he is responsible for the deaths of so many of the soldiers now honored on the memorial . Basch breaks through Mydia ' s spell and says he can do nothing now but atone for his sins and put the dead to rest . Mydia departs , leaving the party to deal with a horde of undead monsters . Side Missions . Mission 74 : Dance of the Dead . The scion Zalera is battled in this mission , flanked by a massive number of undead creatures . Upon his defeat , he is summonable on the Ring of Pacts , and Basch gains his Quickening , Apocalypse Shield .
