Text:

In ages past, I oft journeyed the boundless aethyr to pay visit this emerald isle.
And tonight, the light of the Einherjar hath guided me hither once again...
...that I might rejoice as our blades sing before the gates of Hell!

Thy brands art one with the winds. Yet can they match the swiftness of mighty Hildulfr? (Used for Geirrothr?)
Dost thou possess the strength to withstand a blow from Asgarth steel!? (Ofnir?)
Thy minds art as clear as a crystalline spring. Yet can thy magicks match those of wise Gondlir? (Valfodr?)
Dost thou possess the courage to withstand an onslaught of the winds of Asgarth!? (Gagnrath?)
Thy bonds art forged of tempered steel. Yet can they match the armies of noble Herjann!? (Sanngetall?)
Dost thou possess the will to withstand the battle cries of mine loyal Warriors!? (Yggr?)
(Perhaps the below is used for summoning Valkyries/Fomors)
Thine eyes...doth burn with the flames of Muspilheim. Thus I shalt grant thee audience with Vithurr...
Utter thy final prayers, for Ragnarok is nigh!
The true power of Gungnir cometh not from the blade herself, but from the countless souls it hath sent to the corpse-halls of the Underworld!

Mine platinum blade shalt split atwain the threads of thy future...
...whilst its obsidian fuller shalt channel the lifeblood of thy past.
Now wail as thy soul is bestrewn across the plains of Valhalla!

Ahahahahahaha! Fate hath smiled upon the sons of Men. Let us return to Asgarth, Sleipnir.
But as long as thine hearts yet festereth with the corruption of rage, I shalt ne'er perish.
Farewell, Einherjar!

They're all Fomor chicks, seemingly all Elvaan (would be fitting if they're all supposed to be Ephramadians in FFXI/Vana). They might pop 3 at a time? BLM/PLD/BRD are all confirmed jobs. They all seem to wear Hadean/Phantasmal armor and use Hofuds/Valkyrie's forks.

?????

Zantesuken ...lol


My JP too bad for a professional Translation but from what I can understand...



You cannot dispel or elegy him - at least they couldnt. Can land slow and para.

He casts Sleepga2, Blindga, Blizaga3 and 4, Breakga and they not too sure if he used Dreadspikes.

??????(??????+???/????) (AOE Damage and Terror)
?????(?????/??????) AOE Damage and Full Dispel
???????(??????+??+??) AOE Damage and Curse and Silence
?????(??????+????) AOE Damage and Bind
???(???????) Move that gives him KILLER effect
????(?????????/????) AOE damage - maybe magical
???(????) Zantesuken - Instadeath - AOE?

Regarding Zantesuken - the log showed no damage or anything they said - ppl just died


Summons in Fomor Types with the Name of the Chambers. Grimgerde was a BRD


EDIT: Updated a bit since 1 move seemed to be missing

[Starr]

Wearing Floor 100 weapons makes you immune to Odin's Death!!!!

maybe?

[GavinBandura]

Was speaking to a JP friend today, they went in with 26 people and timed out when Odin was at 1%. Can't elegy him as has been said, dread spikes is indeed on and they couldn't dispel/finale. Zantesuken seems to be distance related and is triggered at 10% HP so I'm guessing just before than it's a good idea for everyone to get the hell back. Um, the three fomors they fought were pld, brd and drk. The drk hits very hard as is expected and all have their 2 hours etc. BLM nukes do around 50% dmg, so he was similar resist to Tiamat etc. That's all I know for now, sorry!

[donnie]

I feel like a baby waiting on his new toy , cant wait to fight him

[underscore]

did they lose all 9 feathers when they lost?

[donnie]

yes and SE need to fix this , the amount of work you do to reach odins chamber is enough , logically it should take 1 month and a half with a static that all the ppl there never been absent in any run to get odin chamber , realistically it takes about 2-3 months till enough are cleared to enter odins chamber .

So its basically sad to see your feathers gone , and how the hell the reward that let you enter any chamber helps , you will still need to clear all chambers to get to odin again. they just need to fix it like nyzle island LV100 , u only lose the disc once u win it

[underscore]

i was asking gavin actually, unless you've gone to odin yourself and lost all 9 feathers i won't believe it.

[donnie]

http://www.playonline.com/pcd/update/ff ... etail.html

1. Key Items
Upon clearing a chamber, all players will receive a key item that signifies they assited in the clearing of the area. There is one for each room, and all nine will be required for entry into the final chamber, Valgrind.

*The key items will vanish at the moment of entry into Valgrind. <<<<----------------------------------------------
*Players who clear the 10th chamber will be awarded a pass that allows them entry to any of the other nine chambers without having to clear each wing in succession.

maybe you should do your homework before you ask then

[Sagacious Sundi]

i was asking gavin actually, unless you've gone to odin yourself and lost all 9 feathers i won't believe it.

SE said "The key items will vanish at the moment of entry into Valgrind." You could argue that they might give you your feathers back if you lose.

If they really want us to lose our feathers no matter what, some stuff they could do as a compromise is:
1.) Fomors can drop their feathers. 50% of the time if it is possible/plausible to fight all of them. Around 100% of the time if it is only possible/plausible to fight some of them.
2.) When you enter, only some feathers are lost. All wing 1, 2 wing 2's, and 1 wing 3 would be generous, I'd say. >_> So long as it's consistent for each player, that is. <_< (In other words, not possible that each player loses different feathers.)

i read the update, i asked gavin because he said he talked to someone who was actually in there, EXCUSE ME for wanting to know for sure before bitching about it(not saying its not warranted but still)

If SE says you lose all 9 of your key items obtained by clearing the previous tiers of Einherjar chambers upon entering Valgrind... then guess what? You probably lose all 9 of your key items obtained by clearing the previous tiers of Einherjar chambers upon entering Valgrind!

[Genosync]

Looks like no one's ever going to get that Valkyrie's Fork. Oh well, too bad.

[gilgam]

check this video!!http://ime.nu/stage6.divx.com/user/M...74/Zantetsuken

i have more info..but my english poor;;

Gagnrath-(AOE Damage and Terror)
Sanngetall-AOE Damage and Full Dispel
Valfodr-AOE Damage and Curse and Silence
Geirrothr-AOE Damage and Bind
Yggr-Move that gives him KILLER effect
Ofnir- AOE damage - maybe magical
Zantesuken - Instadeath - AOE Death (AOE range looks like Hurricane wing)

[Minions]

Yeah.... These drops better be freaking 100% drop. I sure hope it drops more than just the hat/body/lance.

[gilgam]

They don't mana burn all tiers.
They make (3melee+whm,rdm,brd)x3 PT's then melee burn.
keep sleep mob's and all PT pull one mob.
I think melee burn better than mana burn.
Because they don't fail tier3's and tier3's boss kill 2-3min...

I'm sorry if wrong english lol

[Judai]

whoaz

[Sagacious Sundi]

Yeah.... These drops better be freaking 100% drop. I sure hope it drops more than just the hat/body/lance.

How does the following sound? (At 100%):
-Hofud
-Fork
-Breastplate
-Helm
-3 RotZ body abjs, 75% chance at another, 50% chance at another, and 25% chance at another
-Both ToAU body abjs
-NO TITLE TO SHOW OFF, LOL (Is there any title?)

(But we all know it's going to be 1 weapon/1 armour piece/1 RotZ abj/1 ToAU abj/50% chance at a dark cluster.)

Going to watch that video when I get on my non-crappy PC.

[Suiram]

More direct n clickable link to video - awesome! At 0.19 he announces zantesuken in /say. Then at 0.23 ppl are already dead and if you look close can see the 1% HP timeout. Also see people getting intimidated in the chatlog.

[Starr]

Fucking EPIC how the hell did that JP LS supposedly get it to 1%?

[LD]

I noticed in the video the fomor mobs are using the Hafud and The Fork. Maybe they control the drop probability?

I love how he switches weapons to do Zantetsuken. No friggin' prisoners, baby.

How can I convert that to MP3? ;o

[Lyramion]

All the new ToAU Music are in Sonys own ATRAC Format. Winamp bgw plugin nor XiAudioCodec program can convert or play that. My 1 hour long search in google turned up nothing that is working. I remember RustyMetal converting the ToAU music files into old school bgw files back then but I have no clue how.


So far I have no other idea but to switch around the music and direct record it.


P.S. After having a short look into Odins WS Names it seems like they are all Names of Odin he had through various stories of the Germanic mythology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_names_of_Odin

[Koga]

I'm at work so I can't test but IIRC if you use this program it will convert ToAU BGW <=> WAV
and then you can go from WAV to MP3.

Odin was at ~5%, the lesser mobs were at 100%...

Exactly, do you have to kill the lessers too? I figured you just have to kill Odin then the fight is over. Maybe I'm the only one who has wiped/lost an assault/bc or had an ls event become much difficult than it should have been because someone was too busy taking pics to do their job. My point is they worked so hard to get there, it would have been really sad if a couple sam's or blms had been taking pics which could have accounted for that last few % of odin
