Duoing Jailer of Fort

[Skeetaru]

I did a search and saw someone talking about a rdm/nin and blm/nin duoing, my question is basically just:
is this mostly a bio kill?
Did blm do many nukes?
Do you both need + movement?
How long does it take?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Never done this, but pretty sure the blm uses /nin so that he can nuke without getting nuked back. Not sure how hate works during this fight, but hope that helps.

Movement is NOT needed, although it helps on the pull. We've done it trio pretty easily.. basically what we did.. dunno if you need to be unpartied but we were anyway was have person pop it outside of party when the other 2 RDM/NINs gravity the Kf Ghrah then zone. Puller took it to the opposite diagonal room. I.E. if we popped NW we'd pull to SE to make sure we'd have enough distance so the Kf'Ghrah would not relink to JoF because they got shared hate that works kind of weird. I guess 2 RDM/NIN could do this as well, just use Chainspell at start and Gravity both Kf and pull the same way. Pretty easy once you split up the Kf ghrahs. We kept BioII/Poison II on and nuked as often as MP would let us.

Movement+ isnt needed, but if you duo, you will probably end up dying a lot. He is fast, and one mistake and your blm will get rapped.


I usually bring 4-5 people for safety, but like Seditedi said, 3 people is enough. Gravity'ing the ghrah is recommended, but not required. I have separated them on blm without speed+ gears. One last thing, make sure everyone has RR, you might need it.


Most nuke do around 1k+, and JoF has around 20-25k hp. Rdm can nuke for 600dmg, but they need decent gears to land them spell reliably.

How do u split them Kaylia?
First time we tried we were partied lol..
got em separate but they came back to us in the opposite room.
killed it nps anyway but we ran to another room and luckily the dark ghrah deaggroed and only light came.
Do you have to be unpartied to make them separate?
Hes probably 12% movement speed, I'd definitely recommend RR if you don't have cuisses or gaiters. If u have movement+ pretty much impossible for him to kill you lol.

Last few times, I just had a rdm bind/grav the other 2 as I was zoning Fortitude on my blm (similar to your chainspell grav strats). Before that, I was pulling to zone hoping the ghrah would be far behind, and pick Fortitude after they all unagro. Their link radius is around ~25. If they were too close, I was just separating them like Ix'drk and Qn'Aern

I've duo/trio this a couple times now, blu/nin, rdm/nin, blm/nin. If your blms don't have movement speed+ and die a lot, it can take a while to kill...can go an hour or more. If you don't have crimson/gaiters and the others can't pull hate off of you, you're going to die though.

Pulling it hasn't seemed too hard so far, I just make sure that I get both grah to try to cast something on me, to put them further behind. Then someone tags Fort after I zone.

Clear the path of grah/pots to the spot you are going to fight him at...not really needed along the path you are pulling him from though.

There is a thread in the COR forums on KI about COR/NIN soloing JoF with W.legs and just using Quick Draw.

[Delekii]

pretty much anyone can solo it as /nin with some form of fast damage and a way to stay out of range. splitting the ghrahs is the hard part, the cor said it took quite a few zoning attempts to get them to split..

good stuff, thanks all
