SP Assault Missions (Yes, another assault thread)

[Kurp]

So I wonder if you can join a pickup party, dc cause you really don't feel like doing it, and let them win for you and log back in later (if its an easy one)

Yea, that's a great idea because contributing is so difficult. It's much easier to screw people over and leech!

I hope the internet blurred that enough for me to misinterpret it.

Fight fight fight.

S/he does have a point though Ryko, anyway you could compile all your info in this thread into a formatted style on the first page?

EXTERMINATION
(forgive me, this map is incomplete)


Our group went in as SAM, DRG, RDM, WHM, BLM, BRD and were killing things easily enough at first. From where you start, you can choose to head North or South.

So we went south and were killing Crabs and Leeches (btw, these DO NOT aggro and are not True Sight).

Then we got to the three slimes on the boat at the very south and they destroyed us. Fluid Toss was doing 600+ damage. We were able to sleep them pretty easily, but sleep doesn't stick for long. After a particularily nasty Fluid Toss, both our melees went down and we wiped shortly after.

After we re-raised and healed, we only had about 10 minutes left so we decided to head north and see what was there. More Crabs and Leeches and at the very top, two Doomed toads.

The toads do aggro, but were easily pushed down. We ran out of time while the 2nd toad had 5% HP left.

I don't see how we could have beaten this Assault with those slimes. Even if they hadn't wiped us, it would have taken some time to kill all three and then head north in order to finish the rest of the Leeches/Crabs and the Doomed.

Does anyone have any tips or hints on this one?

[Ryko]

We did that with 4 people, shadows if you cant get TP-safe magical damage on them. Everyone having shadows for fluid spread = big.

[Lyramion]

Cursed Chigoe hit me on Earsthstaff, Cheviaut, ChellyRing, Phalanx WHM/RDM for around 30 per hit. Can aggro them easily without death

[NynJa]

send the group first to clear the crabs south (WHICH LINK). after, 4 ppl leave the group and head north. Send a rdm + blm to deal with the slimes further south, they dont link.

[Kuropiko]

Ok here are some maps i made a few hours ago if this can help, along with a bit of info. You can take these maps if you want or do new ones with added info, no problem. I didn't want to create a new thread for this so feel free to quote or such.

Hope it helps.

Leujoam Sanctum - Escort Professor Clavauert :

Highly incomplete map since i didn't really note down the positions of the mobs.

http://manganimation1.free.fr/SP_leujaoam.jpg

We went in as SMN MNK THF BLM BRD BRD. Pretty simple, just slept every mob the NPC aggroed. He regularly stops at intersections thinking he took the wrong way and turns back, looking for his mining point. I don't know yet if he has a fixed or random way but he lead us a few times through the first set of tunnels.

The undead seem to build some resistance to Lullaby and Sleep (for the Bhoots - Sleep Bolts worked too on them by the way) so we had to kill a few of them when the NPC decided to rest in a dead end. It was pretty chaotic in the end just sleeping the mobs because of this built resistance but since all the hate was on the sleepers they died and the NPC could mine quietly.

If you have no hate then and there's still mobs on the way to the Rune of Release, you can Sneak by them easily. As a side note, the NPC can take a lot of hits, a 210 HP Cure III gives him like 3% of his HP back so he has a lot.

Cleared with 10 minutes left.

Mamool Ja Training Grounds - Sagelord Elimination :

Incomplete map too since i didn't get the adds positions. Pretty hard to do this unless you wander around in this purpose before you aggro the Sagelord since he will link every mob he runs into.

http://manganimation1.free.fr/SP_mamool.jpg

The Sagelord is really no match. The trick in this fight is he will sometimes run away from the fight at Flee speed and every mob he runs into will aggro whoever had hate on him when he ran away. Any pet on the NM can really help finding him again, just like Angra Mainyu.

We went as SMN MNK THF WAR BLM BRD. We just slept the adds all the way and ran after the Sagelord. The sleepers eventually died along the way when they had like 10 mobs to sleep and the adds just went back to their home points... But who cares, the Sagelord linked them again, so it just saved some time.

We could get him down from around 20% each time and then he ran away, usually back and forth between the little east room and the entrance halls. At 12%, he just warped and we got drops and experience for killing him, pretty wierd.

Really fun fight, cleared with 10 minutes left.

Lebros Cavern - Troll Refugees :

http://manganimation1.free.fr/SP_lebros.jpg

We went in as SMN MNK WAR BLM BRD since our THF wasn't there.

You just have to kill all the Broken Trolls. As their name tells, they're not at full HP. They all have 25%, 50%, or 75% HP left. They're not really hard but they can use 2 hour abilities, so take care of Hundred Fists with Sleep of whatever.

Cleared with 2 minutes left with 5 people since we thought we killed all of them but we missed one and had to find it.

Ilrusi Atoll - Extermination :

Highly incomplete map ! All the Flesh and Slimes are there since there are only a few of them but i don't remember all the Leeched and Crabs that were around but i think i didn't miss too many of them.

http://manganimation1.free.fr/SP_ilrusi.jpg

Pretty easy one, as always we went in as SMN MNK THF WAR BLM BRD.

Just slaughter every mob you find. They're not hard at all. A wierd thing happened though, we killed one Leech and it respawned as an Undead Leech, which was Tough instead of Even Match. It only happened once.

Cleared with abount 5 minutes left.

Periqia - Saving Private Ryaaf :

A few Fomors missing on the map, i d/ced during the Assault and could not explore every tunnel.

http://manganimation1.free.fr/SP_periqia.jpg

All you have to do is rescue all the NPCs including Ryaaf. Recueing Ryaaf will NOT end the mission if you didn't get all of them freed.

In every 5 rooms you can pop Chigoe's, not really hard but fast-hitting like every Chigoe does. Critical Hits one shoot them so our WAR just took care of one room with Mighty Strikes to save a little time.

There is one NPC in each room, placed up the stairs with no name. It seems you can not free them before you killed the Chigoes but i'm not abolutely sure of this. When you killed them and get near the NPC, it can either change into a real Prisoner or into a Fomor you'll have to kill. They aren't that hard, they have some HP and the usual Fomor moves.

Just check the 5 rooms one by one until you get the victory message telling you to get to the Rune of Release.

Cleared with more than 10 minutes left, time isn't really a concern here.

Gonna just link to this post on the front of this page.

[Shigaro]

For the Ilrusi Atoll one, we had NIN, WHM, BLM, DRK, BST, we went south first, did not take the bridge and went around, just killin mobs, when we hit the slimes, I (BLM) 2hour and finish them off quickly. (They are very weak to magic dmg.) On the way back we hit the shortcut then went north to finish up. We had undead toad pop for us and won with just under 5 mins left with 5 people.
