Sinister Stones

← Back to Synthesis Materials List

Sinister Stones can be farmed only in the Monstropolis world. They are only dropped by the Flowersnake Unversed found in various areas across Monstropolis.

Sinister Stones can eventually be unlocked for purchase at the Moogle Shop after collecting 25 of them as drops.

Note: None of the Sinister materials can be farmed from the Battlegates that appear during end-game.

Monstropolis Farming Route

Land at the Accessway save point, head east and start exploring the area.

Soon enough, you will encounter the Flowersnakes latched on to the walls of the corridors.

The Flowersnakes have purple bodies with large, pink gaping mouths that open up to reveal a tiny unversed face.

They have large bat-like ears and have a cup-like base, which they use to latch onto walls.

The Flowersnakes attack in two modes; on the ground it slithers around in snake mode and attacks using headbutts and lunges.

It also has a flower mode where it latches onto the side of walls and gushes pools of poison at you.

Use your dodge rolls to avoid their physical attacks, and if the area gets filled with poison pools, just glide around to reach a safe distance.

The Flowersnakes are weak to fire magic, and using Firaga is the easiest way to take them out from a distance, especially while they’re stuck on walls.

Keep delving deeper into the world and you can find up to fifteen Flowersnakes around the Power Plant area.

They have an 8% chance of dropping Sinister Stones, which isn’t all that great, but you can quickly take them out using Firagas to expedite the farming process.

Then just return from the Accessway save point to make all of them respawn and repeat the farm.

Using Sinister Stones

Sinister Stones are required for nine recipes, and you must have at least 12 stones in total to synthesize at least one of each recipe.
