So I'm playing through FFXII again and I stumbled upon a little cheat... its not a glitch, but its still a really great exploit.
In the Tomb of Raithwell, when you enter it, you know how there is that Demonwall taht you're supposed to run from, but then have to fight the second (weaker) one? Well, if you defeat that first one (which is twice as hard as it seems to have twice the life and strength) then you can access a little jewel on the wall behind it. Once you defeat the second Demonwall you can touch the jewel and stairs on both sides will appear, leading you through a hidden hallyway on either side of the next room, and into a secret area.
This secret area has some tough enemies, so I'd recomend doing this before Vossler leaves your party (i.e. do it when the story brings you to the Tomb rather than going back afterwards, unless you've leveled up a bit), but if you follow the stairs on either side of this secret room it will take you down to a treasure chest, and inside the chest is a Demonsbane sword. Not only is this a super strong sword for this point in the game, but you can get as many as you want since the chest keeps coming back (though it only randomly spawns). You can turn around and sell a single Demonsbane sword for a lot of gil! So once you get enough for all your sword weilders, you can keep getting them and make uber bank, allowing you to get more spells and better armor/other weapons upon your return to Rabanastre! And the best part is that the sword is so good, it makes all the enemies down there dead real quick and in a hurry.
I found this cool, and just thought I'd share for any FF fans that may be playing this game (again or for the first time).
