Someone has been busy. Out of curiosity, were those all from Hall of Mul, or were some from the other halls? (I ask because of the Lofty Trophy.)

[Tardevil]

Was brought to my attention that it hasn't been posted where the L. abj feet drop. Got mine in the Hall of KI after killing Mired Orthrus.

[Darkmed]

all from Hall of Mul

[Flight_93]

Reliable friend, but still hearsay so "gtfo" all you like on this one, 'confirmed' Abdhaljs's Honor drop from Gallu yielded haste 6% on a Tenryu Somen (+1). NQ ponze return (not sure exact, just not 103.)

Obviously no pics or I'd have posted.

Any testing done on the FC from the gloves?

What's the guy's name? Know that if I got something like that I would be just chillin' in PJ showing off, and it would be nice to see that. Would give me hope on the augments...

Reraise recast while wearing them is 59 seconds, 1~2% I guess?

We are at 0/8 on Hall of Mul now, you have to deal more or less 1 million of damage in 30 min for win while in the others halls the total rarely exceed 500,000 HP for the 2 waves + boss. Ig-Alima can Mighty Strike.

Lame, thanks.

Are the waves in Mul like BG Wiki lists them, 11 mobs (4 + 4 +2 +1)? I'd assume Paramount Avatar is after Gallu/Botulus.

Also, still tinkering with setups for my shell....you guys still bring 5 SMN, 1 SCH, 4 DD, 2 BRD, 2 COR, 2 WHM, 2 PLD? Was trying to make room for BLM or RNG. No room for THF of course ;;

[Tachi]

Paramount Avatar is summoned by Botulus for Astral Flow.

Our setup is 5 DDs, 2 Schs (one is for Alacrity Stun TP moves), 2 Cors, 5 Smns (all with 5/5 Thunderstorm), 1 Brd, 1 Thf, 1 Pld, 1 Whm. The Whm disband when PD/rebuffing melees. Pld can super tank/kite everything with /dnc and Embrava.

First Wave :
Ironclad > Mantis (PD is important to resist Amnesia) > Harpeia > rebuffing because of Shrieking Gale > Naraka (Holy Circle)

Second Wave :
Voidwrought (melees 2H) > Aello > Gaunab > Uptala (Holy Circle and everyone run away at 1% to avoid Kaustra)

Third Wave :
We all die because Wild Card never did 5 or 6 in this hall for us.

All our Smns have a macro /tell for a Shock Squall order.

I'm looking to get a bit more into Legion with my ls, would you recommed the above job setup for all halls? And if so which mobs are absolute musts with PD?

[Tachi]

An :
PD for Elasmoth and Zilant, for Behemoth maybe too or just Dispel/Finale Blaze Spikes to cancel his Manafont effect.
EA/Scherzo on the Blms for Adamantoise/Ferromantoise.

Ki :
We use PD for everything. Hydra/Alfard doesn't have Bulwark TP moves but they tend to favor Nerve Gas more than anything else and have a Poison Aura.

Im :
PD for Corse, Vampyr, Kumakatok, Strigoi and Mantis. It protects from Dance/Gala Macabre, Nocturnal Servitude and Phlegm Expulsion (EDIT : errr Mantis is in Ki Hall).
Dream Shroud for Dvergrs to counter Cackle (Soaring Dvergr does Cackle > instant cast AM combo).

Muru :
CS Stun Sandworm. PD for Amphiptere, Ixion, Gigaworm, Sanguiptere and Alicorn. EA/Scherzo for Alicorn too, it's unlikely to kill it before PD wears off because of his evasion and Damsel Memento. Scintillant Lance does 2000-5600 dmg.
Shock Squall order for Amphiptere, Gigaworm and Sanguiptere. You don't want to see Reaving Wind, Calamitous Wind or Extreme Purgation. I think Gigaworm start to absorb everything after Gorge and stop once it uses Disgorge.

[Byrthnoth]

For Chamber of An, for instance, would something like this be accurate?

* The first wave consists of [[Lofty Behemoth]], [[Lofty Wyrm]], and [[Lofty Adamantoise]].
** [[Lofty Behemoth]] gains a [[Manafont]] effect when he has [[Blaze Spikes]] active from [[:Category:Behemoth#Common_TP_Moves|Flame Armor]]. [[Dispel]] recommended.
*** Kill him with melee damage.
** [[Lofty Adamantoise]] takes reduced physical damage and has very high defense. Kill him with magic damage/kiting.
*** [[Earthen Armor]]/[[Sentinel's Scherzo]] is recommended for [[Black Mage]]s.
** [[Lofty Wyrm]] can be held while the other two monsters are dealt with and then zerged.
* Upon their defeat, a second wave consisting of [[Lofty Elasmoth]], [[Lofty Zilant]], and [[Lofty Ferromantoise]] will appear shortly thereafter.
** This tier has substantially higher Evasion/Defense than the previous tier, but follows the same basic strategy.
** Use [[Perfect Defense]] on the melee for the [[Lofty Elasmoth]] and [[Lofty Zilant]].
* Upon the defeat of the second and subsequent waves, another wave consisting of [[Lofty Harpeia]] and two of the previously defeated mobs will appear shortly thereafter.
** Supertank the two previously defeated monsters and [[Perfect Defense]] zerg the [[Lofty Harpeia]].

[Tachi]

Yes, of course there are slightly different ways to handle each chamber but this method works. Lofty Zilant should be fought from behind btw.

[Mahoro]

Tachi, your posts were very helpful, thanks. May I ask what order you do the Ki Hall mobs in? Also, we are having some issues with the kiter. Does the PLD solo kite or has mage support, or does he hold and face tank at all? Thanks in advance.

[Tachi]

Hydra > Cerberus > Khimaira
Alfard > Orthrus > Apademak (it doesn't have Lithic Breath but is immune to Stun)
Hydras have slightly less HP than the others.

Pld/dnc + healer in a party outside of the alliance aggro/super tank everything (no kiting), Aegis is probably essential.

[Mahoro]

Thanks again. We used the strat tonight and obviously it's sound, just had a little problem with crowd control. Best wishes to your group on finishing Hall of Mul.

[Slycer]

Someone on Fenrir has Haste+4 augment on Iaso Cuffs. At least it's quasi-related to songs and song recast... but still, lulz.

[Slycer]

JP Wiki drop reports, not including what's already reported in this thread:

Paramount Harpeia: Pharmakeia Robe
Paramount Mantis: Choleric Earring
Paramount Ironclad: Iron Gobbet
Paramount Gallu: Girru (glow H2H), Shara's Fists, A'as Circlet, Wurrukatte Boots, Abdhaljs's Honor, Meteor, Arise, All body abjurations
Paramount Botulus: Ngen Seraweels, Ayao's Gages, Meteor, Arise, Abdhaljs's Honor, All body abjurations

Would have to assume botulus has glowy/NQ katana.

Hall of Mul title allows purchase of:

10000 points: Calma Breastplate, Mustela Harness, Magavan Frock
6000 points: Dhanurveda Ring, Provocare Ring, Mediator's Ring
