I've completed the walkthrough for The Curious Case of Melvien on ffxiclopedia. If anyone wants to steal it for BG feel free, sorry about the window type on the KIs, I didn't think about it.

how do I get to those secret messages?

[Fwahm]

Headless Torturer becomes invincible whenever it uses Infernal Bulwark; Ingrid's Merciless Strike TP move dispels the invincibility, but since she has trouble getting TP while it's invincible, bad luck can cause it to be undamagable for irritating lengths of time.

Duod it with DRK and WHM, using Koru-Moru, Joachim, and Ulmia. Was pretty damn annoying and lengthy, but didn't really run the risk of anyone dying or running out of mp (WHM had like 40% left afterwards).

Time to bust out the ceremonial daggers/enspell

hmmmmmm I have completed The Light Within and Monstrosity ( have 27 level monster ) Still can't get Estelle to say anything more than Don't bother me. Have zoned - waited a game day - still nothing. Any Ideas?

**Figured out the problem - Need to have the Gladiatorial writ of summons ( temp ki ). Estelle now give me the quest.

F-7 in Foret (take #4 or HP) and go north to the river, go upstream. Immediately after look for a ??? near the shore.

[Trumpy]

Nimmstalph someone mentioned the PVP KI from monstrosity as well.

[sahearniitth]

The RoE quests kinda foreshadow a new villain, could be one of the Xols behind it(didn't get very far though).

They added new RoE quests? What completion number and which NPC starts them?

[Tachi]

If people haven't already guessed, the creature that we briefly see in the quest "The Curious Case of Melvien" is...

Spoiler: show

A Dvergr

You can rewatch the cutscene at Maudilyonne (G-6) in Eastern Adoulin.

Sounds like a job for Tactician's Roll

But will it hit Ingrid?

I have no idea, haven't done the quest.

Yeah a lot of stuff went down though couldn't notice that one till it popped

[Karizo]

That's very nice, I always hated how long that one took compared to all the other timed RoE quests.

[Noonstar]

seems like 100 synthing was lowered to 30
also done trio box gobbue ... it does indeed hit normal melees for up to 1100 O.o hit my thf 1000 + 1100 DA, insta death
100 fists seem pretty dangerous even with ochain 68% pdt pally(hitting for 200ish~), also seem to absorb you buffs (or just dispel, didn't see in chat but animation looked like Blood Weapon 1hour)
both Vedrfolnir and Keeper of Heiligtum , Requescat > rudra's = -50% hp, nicely trioable, will try others later~

[Magitek]

The synthing one was always 30, unless you mean a different one that I don't know about.

[Byrthnoth]

For Douma weapons, my group just used a BLM casting Blizzaja to one-shot the adds. It worked well.

We were:
BRD/NIN (me, used Evisceration)
THF/NIN (closed with Rudra's)
PLD (tanked for the most part)
RNG/NIN (interrupted skillchains that could have done much more damage without him)
BLM (killed adds)
WHM (kept everyone alive)




For the bird, Violent Flourish stuns him well and buys you time between Stormwinds. Given the changes to skillchains, the more shitty melee you bring the worse off you are. Bring a darkness opener and bring a Thief. My group this morning steadily decayed as people ran out of points, but our kill speed went up because we mostly lost dickheads that were interrupting skillchains with their derpy 3k Tachi: Fudos and such. When we got down to 5 players (BRD, WHM, DNC, THF, RNG), we had our quickest fights. If we could have lost the RNG, we probably would have killed even faster.
