Final Fantasy XII Esper
Adrammelech is a boss in Final Fantasy XII. The party fights him in the Adrammelech
Zertinan Caverns. To find him, the party must make their way to the (Adoramereku)

Athroza Quicksands. Also, it is fought in the International Zodiac Job

System at stage 35 along with 2 Skullwyrms.

Adrammelech is the only Esper the player can farm High Arcana from,
since the party can flee one screen during the battle, then return and
steal again. One does not need to possess the Canopic Jar to make the
High Arcanas available.

make him a force to be reckoned with. He has powerful Lightning-type Elemental affinities
