Abyssea - Grauberg Discussion

[Clave]

Was probably Crabs > Melo Melo, dropping the uragnite key item if the pattern holds. Should only take that key item to pop, and it can also be obtained from gold pyxides. I'm just curious about the fight itself seeing as uragnite mobs are fairly rare and they tend to be a pain to fight. Shen fight brings back nightmares.

[Tambor]

Amphitrite will absorb melee when it's popped. It absorbs melee damage until it uses Painful Whip, when it switches to absorbing magic. The move Palsynyxis causes it to revert to melee absorbtion. Also does a move that gives Addle/Burn to everyone in range, I believe this is instead of giving people poison like normal urganites do.

Could have been Pugil > Melo Melo too

[Rocl]

Melo Melo pops among the crabs, and the pugils also have a NM. I don't know what else to say because all 3 (the pugils, the crabs, and the pugil NM) are 100% on Bahamut and Melo Melo is popping.

It won't always absorb melee when it pops, seems kind of random. Also will counter absorbed damage with a tp move, so grellow/red/blue appropriately.

Uleguerand:
Worm OP -> Anemic Aloysius (worm popNM) -> Awahondo (Diremite timed NM) -> Resheph (Diremite pop NM)

could very well be
Pugil OP -> Ika-Roa -> Melo Melo -> Amphirite

but, thinking about it, it seems unlikely as Ika-Roa drops seals. None of the other "to the area boss" routes give seals (other than from dominion)

[GreenKnux]

Has anyone found any quest that drops SMN body?

[Baroka]

VNM t2 garuda drops it but take care of her 2hr... and her massive speed attack

[Thundro]

The Pugil NM needs to be 100% for Melo Melo to pop most definitely. We spent 2hrish yesterday to get Pugil from 3 to 100% and 5 mins after Melo popped among crabs, got it to 40ish before we called it a day, pretty easy fight overall but wouldn't recommedn manaburn since it draws back into shell randomly and then absorbs magic damage and there is no pattern to it going back in shell so can't time nukes well, healed it more than doing dmg. Could not observe it ever absorbing melee damage and Regen was not too bad. Best bet is bring some good melee and not nuke at all except for yellow at start if you want.

[Exoda]

Melo is pretty easy to manaburn. Just soloed it on blm/nin (well, had a smn/rdm, but wasn't really a whole lot of help) in 20 mins. Nuke bliz3>5 when it comes out of shell. it goes back in shell after a certain amount of damage (seems to be a random amount, between 2~3k or so, sometimes 2.2k will put it in shell, sometimes 2.5k won't). Could have done in 10-15 if i brought an ascetics,

[Marcicus]

Lakshmi has Assailer Chariot at 99% and the Ironclad at 100%, but the t3 Archaea which I am presuming to be Raja has not popped yet. It's still ??? @ 0%.

Did you actually go and look for the ??? ? Or only checked the Dominion NPC if anyone has killed it at all, because 99% of one of the required NMs might cause the name to turn into a ??? for him, or whatever makes names disappear again from the list. The Caturae aren't as easy as the old ones if you aren't prepared, so it's very possible that the ??? for it popped when chariot was at 100%(if it ever has been) and noone has killed it yet.

[Marcicus]

I was just getting ready to say I found it lol.

I'm watching Raja being fought at J-6 right now.

One of the things I noticed was that it was using some move called Royal Decree which did like 1.6-1.8k dmg to everyone in range.

edit: Drops Ace's Mufflers; I didn't get a picture of it.
