"Every spot on the map in Final Fantasy Tactics comes with an array of random encounters the game can pull from depending on which side you enter from and how far along you are in the story. Once you hit Chapter 4, the game's "rare" random encounters become accessible. These special battles are weird, hard, and memorable. None more so than the 11-Monk brawl on Grogh Heights (known in the original PS1 version as Grog Hill)."
"Thanks to The Ivalice Chronicles remaster, fresh recruits can witness the joy and terror of randomly getting jumped by 11 monks in one of the strategy RPG's lesser-known endgame challenges. They hit hard and have great range thanks to the Monk's versatile Martial Arts abilities. God help you if you accidentally drop into the battle while trying to train your squad up on weaker jobs they don't have many abilities for."
Final Fantasy Tactics contains map-specific random encounters that vary by entry point and story progress. Chapter 4 unlocks rare encounters including an infamous 11-Monk ambush on Grogh Heights. The Monks use versatile Martial Arts with long reach and heavy damage, making accidental drops into the fight especially deadly for squads on weaker jobs. The Ivalice Chronicles remaster returns these encounters to a new audience. Community members repeatedly document and catalog sightings on the Final Fantasy Tactics subreddit, with a dedicated user collecting each example. Other rare battles include Calculators at Lenalia Plateau, seven Samurai at Yuguo Woods, and Chemists and Orators at Germinas Peak.
