The lands of Grymoire in World of Final Fantasy is home to tons of unique monsters you can tame and use in battle called Mirages. This World Of Final Fantasy Mirage Guide lists all of the Mirages we’ve discovered on our travels as well as information on how to catch each individual Mirage and other useful information like Mirage Masters.
Mirage Introduction
Before you’re able to capture a Mirage, even if you have fulfilled the battle conditions, you must have an Empty Prism compatible with that particular Mirage. Whenever you first encounter a new Mirage Enna Kros will provide you with a free compatible Prism to catch that particular Mirage, so you don’t have to worry about missing out for the most part.
There are some monsters in World of Final Fantasy listed as Unimprismable Mirages. These are mostly enemies encountered during important quests or parts of the story, or those hidden within the various Murkrift locations around Grymoire. Some of these can be caught later, once a Mirage Master has been killed. Information will be included along with the entry of the Mirage in our list of Mirages below.
The list below includes Mirages on a map-by-map basis. I only included the information on how to catch each Mirage the first time they’re encountered so if you’re struggling to find one be sure to check previous areas in the guide and the Coliseum guide.
How To Break Mirage Stacks
As you progress through World of Final Fantasy Mirage stacks will become more and more common. You are not able to capture multiple Mirage’s at once or Mirage’s that are still in a stable stack. Before you’re able to catch a Mirage that’s in a stack of enemies you must first topple the stack before fulfilling the other conditions required. To topple an enemy stack you need to use abilities with Topple Strength. For example, in the Nether Nebula you can catch a Mini Golem that can learn Body Slam – a high Topple Strength ability. You can then use this ability in that same dungeon to topple stacks and catch other Mirages.
Note: You can get this from the choice between Ifrit, Ramuh and Shiva. I cannot verify but apparently you can also catch it in a secret area past the rock you can smash. Thanks to Patrick Goodwin for the submission
How To Catch A Zapt
Note: You can get this from the choice between Ifrit, Ramuh and Shiva. I cannot verify but apparently you can also catch it in a secret area past the rock you can smash. Thanks to Patrick Goodwin for the submission
How To Catch A Fritt
Note: You can get this from the choice between Ifrit, Ramuh and Shiva. I cannot verify but apparently you can also catch it in a secret area past the rock you can smash. Thanks to Patrick Goodwin for the submission
There are 3 unique Mirages in The Nether Nebula that cannot be caught by traditional means. These are the Bablizz, Zapt and Fritt Prismariums. These are rewards from the battle at the end of The Nether Nebula depending on whether you choose Ifrift, Shiva or Ramuh.
Bablizz
Note: It may be possible to catch this Mirage in the secret area of the Nether Nebula past the stone and flutter point.
Zapt
Note: It may be possible to catch this Mirage in the secret area of the Nether Nebula past the stone and flutter point.
Fritt
Note: It may be possible to catch this Mirage in the secret area of the Nether Nebula past the stone and flutter point.
Notes: When you kill the boss of The Watchplains area don’t proceed through the gate, instead carry on to the next area and you’ll see the Black Chocochick there.
Notes: In the North West corner of Pyreglow Forest is a maze-type area. You need a Mirage with Sizzle, Fritt for example, to clear the path. Once inside the maze follow the glowing orbs through several areas to find the correct path. You need to bring an Elixir with you to catch the Magic Jar.
Note: These are located within the Murkrift located to the left of the boss fight.
How To Catch A Holy Dragon
Note: These are too high a level when you first explore Icicle Ridge. To locate the Holy Dragon’s get to the save point before the wolf boss. Then go back and go directly left across the ice floor. Slide to the other side and use Smash to tear down the rock that blocks your path. Solve the puzzle and then take the top left exit, follow the path to find 2 Holy Dragons. You need to use Light Magic. You also get a Holy Dragon Memento
Note: This is inside the level 25 Murkrift. I was level 15ish when I did this. I was able to kill it but even with a 1800 critical damage summon, I was not able to do enough damage in a single attack to trigger the Prismtunity. There is a Coliseum challenge that unlocks after this, much easier to capture the Mega Sharqual there.
Note: This is a unique Mirage in this area. When you reach the map with the GimmeGolem blocking your way, head to the far North East. The Cerebus is alone in the next area. You have to use one of each elemental attack to open a Prismtunity.
Note: Only saw this once, never appeared again. You need to use Shell to capture it.
How To Catch A Flammantoise
How To Catch A Korrigan
Note: I only encounter these on the pathway to the chest past the very first Chill point you discover.
How To Catch A Memecoleous
Note: This is inside the Murkrift
How To Catch A Phoenix
Note: This is another unique/rare Mirage. It’s in Valley Seven Cauldron 3. As you enter Cauldron 3 take the first left turn to clear the Murkrift and solve the puzzle. The Phoenix is the other side through the entrance way. I took its HP down to near 0 and used an Elixir to heal 10k HP. Cura, Hi-Potions, didn’t work.
Note: Just 1 does the trick. Poison worked first time for me
How To Catch A Flan Princess
Note: You will have to let the Flan Princess kill all of your team except 1. You can then raise your team and attempt to catch her before it expires. You get a Flan Princess Memento.
How To Catch A Malboro Menace
Note: You get a Malboro Menace Memento
How To Catch A Nut Eater
Note: Took ages for this to pop up. Check the very last area of The Windswept Mire, where it’s actually desert area. Use Chill to build the bridge and cross. Any buff should work, I used Shell.
Note: You can find Cactuar in The Phantom Sands – Toil 4. They are rare so it can take a while.
How To Catch A Sand Worm
Note: These do not spawn in The Phantom Sands until you have killed the 3 boss Sand Worms at the end of the area.
How To Catch A Sandicore
How To Catch A Chrome Giant
Note: This can be found within the level 40 Murkrift North of the save point in the final area
How To Catch A Sphinx
Note: This is a unique spawn in the area. Follow the light at the end of each path until you reach The Phantom Sands Toil 3. Instead of going down either path head down the middle to the hole where the sand is falling in. Examine the hole to drop down and fight the Sphinx. There’s also a Sphinx Memento in the chest.
Note: You can find the Mist Dragon on the very bottom floor. Underground Prison – Secret Ophion. It’s near the save point, fly across the gap. You also get a Mist Dragon Memento.
Note: This isn’t actually on the Big Bridge but you unlock the mission for it after completing the Big Bridge. Head to the Girls Tearoom and complete Ifrit Meets His Match.
Note: This is inside 1 of the 4 Murkrifts in The Train Graveyard.
How To Catch A Red Cap
Note: This is inside 1 of the 4 Murkrifts in The Train Graveyard.
How To Catch Nightmare
Note: Complete 4 Murkrifts in The Train Graveyard and a 5th will appear. WARNING: It has VERY low HP so start the fight with weak stacks and no counter. You also get a Nightmare Memento
Note: When you first enter The Crystal Tower go downstairs first.
How To Catch A Wind Toad
How To Catch A Water Golem
How To Catch A Paleberry
How To Catch A Unicorn
How To Catch A Titan
Note: As you climb to the summit of the Crystal Tower you will encounter a number of enemies that are visible on the screen, not random encounters. These drop items that clear a path of Gimme Golems. When you first enter The Crystal Tower go down the stairs, not up. Once you’ve got enough items go to the bottom and interact with the crystal to appear next to Titan. You also get a Titan Memento
Once you have the ability to use the airship there’s a number of special Murkrifts and locations you can visit to pick up some really powerful Mirages. If you want more information on the exact location of the monsters check out our murkrift guide. Below is just a list of the Mirages and how to catch them.
Once you complete the main story and continue your save file you unlock a lot Miniventures that include some really powerful Mirages. Below is a list of the Mirages you can catch but for more information check out our Miniventure guide. I’ll be updating this part soon, a little weak to complete some of these.

World Of Final Fantasy Mirage Guide – Coliseum Mirages
As you progress through the main story in World of Final Fantasy you will unlock the Coliseum – a special event area where you can return to past challenges, complete special events or encounter Mirage’s you’ve yet to find in the main world. For more information on how to unlock specific events check out our World of Final Fantasy Coliseum guide.
That wraps up most of the main game. You can continue playing afterwards as tons of Miniventures open in the girls tea room and allows you to capture tons of awesome Mirages like Diablos. Check out our Miniventure guide for more information.
