Looking for info on Amhuluk was wondering if this thing can be done with under 8 or if i need a full alliance.

If you kite it around the area with the Frigatebird's you should be able to kill it with 6 people no problem.
PLD WHM RDM RNG RNG COR should kill it fairly fast

Dropping the Bomb quest is some bullshit. 0/14 and 2 stones worth of getting a drop at all, on top of which it could turn out to be a dud.

[Khajit]

Is there some sort of pop condition to the raider's boomerang NM? no info other than some firesday nonsense on wiki that i see and ive not seen it poped anytime that ive checked up on the location so far.

[Manf]

I check Kutharei religiously, and have yet to see it either. There definitely is some gimmick, maybe having to do with the martello cores? Or perhaps even related to some other NM?

I had a run in with Yaanei one night after a party in Attohwa; it was up floating around. I ran and changed to rdm, and reclimbed the mountain and in the ~15 min this took, it had depopped. I found its' body with radar up and 100%. So whatever this gimmick is, there is a window for these NMs to stay up I would guess. Sorry I can't be more helpful than this anecdote.

[Fereydoon]

I've seen it up and while waiting for the rest of my party to get there it vanished. :\ It has some gimmick or something.

[arus2001]

Martello cores may be a reasonable theory. Either enemy has all, or players do. We had Sippoy randomly bumrush our EXP group in Vunkerl one evening, but haven't seen him in the same area since. Not sure if he was dead, depopped, or what.

[Klaatu]

Killed rabbit NM. Triggered Blue !! with Kasha. Dropped DNC legs seal and Sapphire Abyssite of Fortune.
Easy enough fight if you use the tri-force to bounce hate back and forth after it uses Dust Cloud. Killed it with 5 people.
Made sure mages stood in range of Dust Cloud to reset their hate. With Stoneskin the dmg was minimal to them.

Also got Redish !! on Bugard NM with Tachi: Koki and Blue !! on Bird NM with Evisciration.

8 is more than enough. Can straight tank him with DD, easy fight. At lvl85 with atma and cruor buffs, I wouldn't rate him much worse than a Salvage Chariot boss at lvl75. He doesn't Feral Peck, and only very rarely uses Calamitous Wing (I think I saw it once in three fight). And he pops right where there's a ledge you can use for terrain.

This, hes REALLY weak. Maybe because we had aegis pld on him, but none of his TP moves are really dangerous.

We've killed him a number of times and he's always spammed Calamitous wing, alot of the time back to back. Made it very annoying to tank on DRK. PLD should have zero problem straight tanking with his back against the wall.

I have seen Sippoy vanish. My friend and I were duoing him (~82% in 20ish minutes) and we decided it was taking too long/his drops suck, so I had him run for the conflux while I charged my flee boots to follow. Anyway, I wait a bit and head off after him. Sippoy floats after me creepily, as he is wont to do. Tonko: Ni before the clusters, I run through them and Sippoy catches us on the far side. To be precise, he caught my friend on the far side and brutally raped him with those large claws. Then he depopped (I hadn't ported yet). I figure he deagroed me, killed my friend, and whatever conditions were required for his popping were no longer met so he depopped.

[Taint]

So we just popped Ironclad Pulverizer. Doing a standard zerg with 4 DDs and a CSS. Funny thing happed though. We killed it, but weird little mini Iron Giant popped, super weak and died in few seconds.... no drops still... then the huge Iron Giant repops with 3% hp... does an AoE move that made everyone weak, then an AoE move that did 500dmg(basically killing everyone but 2-3 people) after that it stayed dead and the standard 100% items dropped. Anyways, it was really funny because we weren't expecting any of it.

Yeah what a messed up mob. We fought him last night. Main First form100% > Head100% > Main35% > Head 100% > Main 13%. 5 forms! I wonder if it has something to do with kill speed? We were going for his broken Atma and couldn't get it to trigger after using every elemental WS 5-6 times, except Leaden Salute....

Searched thread but didn't see anything specific, anyone gotten a few random spells to proc grellow !! on Manohra? Looking for a few things to start with while we're spamming it.

Would MNK RDM WHM BRD be able to down it? The only Ampithere I've ever killed is Turul and that was an uncontrollable clusterfuck between the conal throat stab and knockback aura. If the Wing is the only thing to be worried about, our MNK has like 3k HP with merit abyssites and dorian atma.

[Kilik]

It used Calamitous Wing (full dispel except cruour buffs/atma) multiple times throughout our 4 fights. I'd guess a minimum of 2 times to a max of 5-6 times in one fight. Its more annoying than dangerous. The TP reset move (dont remember if it shared the same name as the regular Amphiptere move Reaving Wind) seems to have some kind of hate reset. With Aegis and full MDB set, his TP moves were a joke damage wise. I was taking more damage from his regular melee hits overall because I was silenced the majority of the fights. Highest dmg from TP I remember was maybe 6XX. The mnk with me was taking 1-1.1k from TP moves though.

I've never done it with so few... but going over the fight in my head, I'm really not seeing a good reason why you couldn't. Don't think you'd need the dorian atma either tbh.

[Worlace]

Anyone ever had the Ironclad Observer random depop on them? Our strat is to THF flee pull it through the observers and bats to the frigatebird camp and kite/nuke it there, last night when we did that even though 2 BLM had stunned the NM and was hitting us, it depopped in our face when the THF hit conflux 4. Any experience with the popped crab either? Kite/nuke like Krab work?

[TehKerm]

Lol tried Cirein crion 3 manned for shits and giggles today, 29 minute kill with rdm/nin blm/nin smn/rdm >_>;; Funny shit. Gave me a lunar abyssite for defeating it xD

Key to this fight lowman is positioning. Lazy to go through the thread to see if it's already been mentioned before.

As you pop it, position the mob at the top of the cliff, then your tank/dd drop one step down.

All mages to the south. Have BRD to pianisimo the tank/dd.

No one should get hit by ANY aoe except DD.
His moves are pretty weak, and yea DD/NIN rdm/drk for GA's if you wish (although it's pretty weak) and emergency stuns, whm/rdm and brd should do the trick.

And lolDorian atma! Go for Bukhis's atma! Some of our people pushing 4k lol
