Longbow Chariot killed and dropping lvl25 items, strat on how to kill it and debuff it with the other NMs

[Delekii]

I dont know what the deal with that site is, but I cant read it even though I have Japanese fonts installed.

Edit: Switching to Japanese for non-unicode didnt work either

[Delekii]

woot managed to get it loading right.. translation to come!

[huckster]

Drops:
- Freyr's Ledelsens (lv.25)
- Ea's Dastanas (lv.25)
- Phobos's Mask (lv.25)

[Xugpy]

edit: bad info =/

[huckster]

Didn't Imp NM (Dekka) drop Enlil's Crackows? (feet?)

[Delekii]

There is a LOT of information on there, but most of it is stuff that is already known. While I get the gist of most that is said, I am wary of posting any kind of translation because I will probably get details wrong, but as for the weakening stuff, this is what I got out of it.

The only mobs listed as weakening the boss are:
Archaic Gears on the third level - possibly reduce the movement speed?
Fourth floor first room gears - possibly lower the offensive capacity (damage i guess)
Fourth floor third room - removal of.. something. Extent of movement effect?
The other boss type mobs listed dont have any weakening effect listed, but i think thats just because its not confirmed what they do.

As for the boss itself, all damage sources suck, lol. They kited it, with an area for BLMs and RDMs to rest in. Used dark skillchains, bursting ice. Elegy and requiem will land, but requiem is very difficult. Very dangerous to give the mob a lot of TP.

[Celeras]

Theres no way they could have cleared this enough times to confirm/deny what weakens what, if anything. They're probably just telling you what they killed, and what they speculate it did.

Good to know it was beaten, but i was hoping for something epicly hard to reflect the gear.

[Delekii]

Well, I would have thought so too, but they dont list the Bomb NM as having any effect on the boss, even though it is under the "weaken the end boss NM" list.

They have killed it atleast twice... anyway, I dont know to be honest, I cant read it well enough.

Info from KI (thx Governator):

○Summary
The time limit is 100 minutes. There are no time extensions available.

5 floors, ending in a boss.
Boss dropped 2 lv25 equipment.
[Image of Phobos Mask and Freyr's Ledelsens, then Ea's Dastanas and Freyr's Ledelsens]
(Citing a "Nejitsu" for the images)

○Preparations
Reraiser or Scroll of Reraise... as reraise equipment will not be accessible once inside.
All kinds of recovery items... you'll start off being dependant on them. H2H skill is indispensable.
Silent oils, prism powders... easy to forget. The lines "遁甲の術、インスニは魔法解除まで使えません。後衛も持っていくこと" make no sense, but perhaps recommendation of flee equips?

Long-Bowed Chariot (Boss)

[Imperial]

The only problem I can see for this is not having enough magic cells.

The only thing I know that drops magic in bhaflau remnants is wamoura and they are only on floor 2, not many of them either.

I think when we went up against this boss we had PLD NIN NIN WHM RDM SMN WHM(?) w/ Magic available.

Our PLD straight tanked it, but I definitely had the same idea of darkness SC w/ Ice burst. I wonder what element it would be weak to.

SMN got off 2 Inferno, one for 700, other for 20~

Since you can't melee zerg this it's very possible to simply try and outlast it. But then there is the problem of getting to it fast enough! Use any kind of ranged damage dealers, including blm, NIN and MNK can safely melee, but not too many of them.

Katana was doing up to 50 a swing w/ Jin around 300s. Closed a fusion for 45 damage.

But yeah, his aoe is crazy. Homing Missle is hate reset w/ huge damage. Has aoe+paralyga as well as some other dumb stuff.

Might try to kill this again tonight. . .

[Stellar]

We have got magic off of mobs other than wamoura.. Slimes for sure and maybe others.

[Uzor]

Both flans and wamoura drops magic and ability.

From the flans today we got atleast 1 magic and 2 abilities every time <.<;

[Stellar]

Also we've fought and lost to Long Bow 3 times. The most recent time (today), we killed both Mad Bomber and Archaic Chariot, avoided all but 1 Archaic Gear from teleporting. Also killed the Archaic Gears at the end of level 3 (Which dropped a Bhaflau card). None of the NM's we killed noticably weakened the boss in any way. We also had a rdm/drk attempt to CS stun the Long bow and 90%+ of his stuns were resisted..

[Lordwafik]

Ok more information, including Torso drops.

If I translated this right, basically it's saying the boss has multiple drops, some being more rare than the other. In other words, Longbow = Nidhogg, and the peices he drops are on par with having A.body E.body N.legs drop etc.

Is what I babelfished true? Or did my translation poop up?

[Tyche]

This dude is on carby, but NFC if he speaks english, although i think he might. He's not online right now though.

edit...LOL @ Zhayolm drops. What's the god damned point of that zone and why have i wasted 10k exp running it to death.

[Stellar]

I realized we didn't kill Mad Bomber.. It exploded as we fought. After reading the translation it appears that properly "killing" Mad Bomber will make the Reactionary Rampart NM pop or something, which perhaps would be the proper way to weaken the boss.

[tymora]

遁甲の術、インスニは魔法解除まで使えません。後衛も持っていくこと

"Unable to use Tonko, Invisible, Sneak until magic restriction is removed. Even the mages bring..."

2nd part is incomplete sentence...will depend on how the rest of the sentence comes.

[Stilgar]

That second sentence is complete by most casual Japanese standards. the 'koto' just refers to the rest of the fragment. 'Kouei mo motteiku koto' basically just means 'the mages should bring them, too.'

It's a much more common form in spoken rather than written Japanese.
