- Yojimbo:
In Japanese lore, yojimbo means a hired bodyguard. As such, the player
must hire Yojimbo first and then pay him whenever he is to attack. The
fayth of Yojimbo was stolen long ago from his temple and hidden in the
Cavern of the Stolen Fayth, presumably so that Summoners would not be
able to complete their pilgrimage and thus be spared their lives. To
obtain Yojimbo, the player must confront Lulu's former (and now
deceased) summoner, and fight and defeat Yojimbo. Then upon entering
the Chamber of the Fayth the player may hire Yojimbo. If the player
wants Yojimbo "to defeat the most powerful of enemies" then he will
offer his lowest price, 250'000 gil, but he can be bargained down to
under 200'000 gil. If his asking price is tripled at any time, the
player will receive 2 Teleport Spheres as a bonus. The player cannot
actually choose an attack; what attack he performs is based on several
factors, most notably how much gil you pay him for the attack and his
current compatibility to you. Yojimbo has only 4 attacks: Daigoro
(his dog will attack), Kozuka
(he throws knives), Wakizashi
(he draws his sword and slices either one or all enemies), Zanmato
(will kill any
enemy in the game, including bosses).
