The Die Is Cast

[HAcoreRD]

Starting NPC: Ratihb

Overview: Yadihaw cheated Balajaha out of gil.

Party: At the end you will need a party, even an alliance for the NM fight.
Difficulty: Tough, the NM doesn't screw around.

1.) Talk to Ekhu Pesshyadha at Aht Urghan Whitegate.
2.) Yadihaw will come to you in a cut scene. Deny gambling gil, instead she decides to gamble for sentimental items. It doesn't matter what you pick, she will roll a 999 and run off.
3.) Travel to Nashmau.
4.) Right as you enter the city talk to the NPC's by the wagon, one of them will open a Cut Scene.
5.) Gamble yet again against Yadihaw.
6.) She will roll a 999, and she runs off to Arrapago Reef
7.) Before going in, at I-8 in Caedarva Mire, pick up a Lamian Fang Key.
8.) Open the door (you go to for Corsair), and go to E-7.
Note: The map is hard to navigate. It's all one big zone and is easy to lose your spot.
9.) On map 2, go to K-10. Note everything here is VT+ to 75. You'll need sneak/invisible. There are true sight IMPs here too.
10.) When you get to the ??? click on it. The cut scene will show Yadihaw getting double crossed by an imp, she apparently was paying him large sums of gold to board a boat. The imp takes the gold and leaves.
11.) After the CS, buff up, get echo drops ready. Click on the ??? to spawn the NM Imp.
Note: Skeletons are in the area, it maybe wise to kill them.

The Fight:
After popping him, he immediately uses an annoying TP move that silences everyone in range. He will only use this move...for now. He hit my carbuncle for 37 damage average, overall was a moderate threat. I was doing great carbuncle soloing, then at around 5% HP, it went berserk. It began spamming a TP move that inflicted 400 damage (3 fold attack), and level 3 magic (including -GA's) his casting range is larger than a normal black mage and hits hard, so it's suggested here you unload.

Note: I killed it, but died from HP aggro, thanks to skeletons

12.) click the ??? again.
13.) return to Ratihb.

Reward: n/a
(Step 12-13 is easily assumed)

Overall: This is hard, the travel is insanely long, and it sucks to go all that way solo to find out you have to face a NM. I would've won if it didn't go insane at the end. From what I could tell, he had no 2 hour.

It uses manafont

[Raineer]

I duo'd it as RDM/BLM, WHM/BLM, neither of us had echos because we didn't know we were popping a fucking NM -.-

Won, not easily but not ungodly hard. For my kill it was around 20% he started spammmmmmmmmmmmming the fucking JA so I just chainspell blink/skin'd to live through it.

He doesn't cast at all until he 2-hr's, and then he spams like any mob that Manafonts.

Reward is Random Ring, DEX 1~8, enchanted 50 charges lvl 60

If you fernrir soloed instead, you might do better.

Anything I can solo, I do it with fenrir; Fenrir does enough damage that you can easily melee, and use spirit taker to keep your MP up (especialy with sneak attack if you can sub thf). soloing is so much faster this way compared to standing there watching your nuclear squirrel go at it.

Trioed this with whm, rdm, and blm. We sleep nuked but when it got to half it started to resist sleep, so we chainspelled + manafonted and it went down easily.

I would plan to get the Dvucca staging point while you do this quest, because by the time you get to the ??? you're already almost halfway there

Just to clarify, it's not that hard that you need to sleep/nuke it. It doesn't hit that hard.

If I knew what I was up against I could have brought RDM/WAR or something and soloed it (echo drops would have slightly helped as well.)

[Koga]

Solo'd as BLM/WHM ^^/ (Took like 15 mins to solo.. fucker has a lot of HP)

It only used the AoE Silence when I popped it, which I was able to stun before it got off.
He didn't cast 1 spell except for a Drown (DoT lol) after I stunned him and it never Manafonted.

How'd you pull that off as blm/whm? VT imps resist sleep half the time for me
and I have +40 enfeeble.

minor necro bump, but it's for the sake of educating the idiot BLMs that don't know how to play with things that resist sleep.

It's called BIND. And Stoneskin/blink/aquaveil.

SInce were are necro-bumping.

The Imp doesn't cast any spells ecept for when its popped and when(if lol) it manafonts.

If you can macro properly bind is as good as sleep, and only 8 mp ( <3 in range parties, but who does those anymore lawl)

It sounds as if you didn't check the ??? before the fight.
You got the CS to start the Imp Fight after it was already dead, so I am presuming you were in a Party.

You will need to kill it again. Then re-check the ???.
