Carrot ( Final Fantasy XII ) Carrot is a Rank VII Elite Mark from " Final Fantasy XII " . The hunt becomes available after felling Judge Bergan at Mt Bur - Omisace . Carrot is the largest Malboro , similar in size to Malboros in previous games . Carrot is a mark in the Jovy sidequest in Nalbina . It is also fought in the " International Zodiac Job System " Trial Mode at stage 70 along with Vivian x4 . Finding Carrot . As stated in the mark description , Carrot is " shy " and " delicate " , so if a monster is killed while searching for Carrot , or if an Antares uses Cannibalize to consume an enemy while in the Salikawood , it will not spawn . If the player does not kill anything , Carrot should be at the Salikawood Sun - Dappled Path . The player should use a Teleport Stone to teleport to Salikawood , then turn off all party members ' gambits . This can be hard to achieve if Reddas is in the party , as his gambits can ' t be turned off and he is to attack the nearest enemy , so the player may have to KO him . Another option is to flee so the battle can immediately begin without the need to turn the party ' s gambits back on . This also prevents Reddas from attacking any enemies if he is in the party . Battle . Carrot enters battle with many status buffs and will use Hero ' s March to bestow the statuses again if removed or they run out . Like all Malboro - kind , Carrot mostly attacks with a plethora of negative status effects and its breath attack has a wide range . After losing half of its health Carrot will use Growing Threat to double its level . Strategy . The party should cast Dispel immediately to rid Carrot of its buffs , and be ready to cast Dispel again for it will use Hero ' s March . The party should have all Remedy Lores and have a healthy stock of Remedies to heal fast . Equipping Black Belts to avoid Disable or Power Armlets to immunize against Stop is recommended . Expose can be used to lower its physical defense for a quicker battle . The player might want to set the gambits to Ally : any = Remedy or , if they are lucky enough to have one , a Ribbon can be put to good use . Even with a tank , Carrot ' s breath covers a large area . It is advisable to use ranged weapons or Technicks to strike Carrot from afar . One should not rely on Krjn ( the viera ) to be the party ' s powerhouse , since she will mostly buff the party . Espers are immune to most negative effects , so one can be summoned to shield the party . Healing magick and items such as Potions can deal damage to Carrot , so if the party have an X - Potion + all Potion Lores mastered + Pheasant Netsuke , they will deal 5 , 000 or more damage per X - Potion used without charge time . The player can use the trick when Carrot reaches HP Critical , because of her Low - HP Def + status . After using Growing Threat and entering HP Critical , Carrot ' s attack and defense increase dramatically , enabling it to deal over 4 , 000 damage in a single hit . Killing Carrot quickly at this point is a must , as the party will likely not be able to survive more than two or three hits , even with the Protect status .
