Einherjar (Tier 1, create a separate thread for tier 2)

[Coren]

Just did the sewhatever chamber (the top one). Got around 18 3bats and the same number of dogs. Killed all of that with 28 people in about 21 min. We also killed a brown bird named muninn or something. We had the marid boss. He did nothing but spam the healing move others have mentioned. We set up a stun order and everything; we ended up getting raped because he kept pulling in the blms and pounding us, leaving gaps in the stun order. He probably healed himself for 50k or more. We think he had around 80k hp. Lowest we got him was 84%, and when we got booted he was back to 99%.

We got 5 xp scrolls, and that's it. Bird didn't drop jack. We did get that message about calming the monsters, at least, although if it does indeed make the marid not spawn chigoes, it didn't do us a lot of good.

We went to Ross on Tuesday. Craven Einherjar (ghosts), bird, orobon NM. We killed the bird and got this message

I looked around a little bit for a chest, but didn't see anything. Not sure what the bird did. Oh, and we got Orobon Meat'd

[Xerlic]

For whomever is collecting data:

Went into Siegrune's Room with 34. Mobs were about 12-15 Ghosts and 7 Doomed. We had a THF pull the ghosts and kite them around. We killed about 5 Ghosts before the puller died and the ghosts jumped us. At some point, the tiger came out and we killed that. Finished the ghosts then worked on the Doomed. After that, we fought the Morbol Boss and beat that. Drops were Siegrune's Feather Key Item, 500 Ampoules, 2 Ameretat Vines, and a Lacquer Tree Log.

Tonight was our linkshell's first official attempt at this. We got a ton of Undead Toad's or w/e, with a Bird popping randomly during the mess of killing them, pulled it soon as we seen it. It died quick, but we seen no chest from it. The boss was a Buffalo, absolutely retarded. Hate was nothing near solid and its defense and HP were insane, dont have a parser so have no idea on how much HP it had. It would just take off running out of nowhere and randomly smack someone who it had already killed and should have had no hate on. We ended up making everyone stand in front of him against the wall to try and hold him still to bring it down. I was on lolTHF, but I hit for straight 0-3 with a normal SA doing 140'ish.

The drops were about as retarded as the boss fight, thanks SE -______-

Lol, well tonite we did grimgerde's camber, We got a chamber with around 15 skeletons and 4 Toads with the Orobon Type boss. Random mob was Huggin again and it had no effect on the mobs nor the boss. Ended with a loss because we only had one bard and there were just too many skels.

[Xerlic]

<Hitoru> ASPID YOU WIN AGAIN.

Fuckin' lol.

[Hapernack]

I'm curious for everyone posting here who seems to have won these early-floors. How much time do you have left when you assault the boss for the final kill? Also how are you damaging them? Despite my LS's best attempts to zerg we can't manage to empty the rooms with any more than maybe 10 min left, and even then, we seem unable to get the bosses down past 80% or so. Are you using kraken DRKs or something? Or are you purely manaburning it?

[Sidanoir]

We did Seguirds chamber? FInally tried this..
We had triple bats, single bats...

Entered with 18 people, only 2 BLM 3 BRD, 3 RDM......definitely kind of low on sleeping power for this I think...rest mixed melee 1 PLD..

Pulled triple bats first they seem to be about as tough as a dynamis xarc demon with more HP but don't hit as hard. Didn't bother with single bats, engaged boss @ 12 mins remaining and got kicked @ 36% ..

Manticore boss seemed fairly beatable, pretty high defense, absolutely random hate and attacked anybody.....
950ish rampage didn't even take 1% hp..

Good guess is somewhere between 200k and 300k for hp...

Next time I would bring more sleepers, and a few more BLMs...

Worth noting that all debuffs seemed to land on the Mega Boss. Seemed to take full damage from Magic also. Also used Riddle -.- and its heat breath has a higher cap than kirins

Has anyone won with 18 people yet?
Oh yah we missed the bird....I didnt see it and the ones that did didnt grab it (pink vulture)

[yrpaine]

our group had success killing all of the normal mobs with a good brd/blm/blu sleep team for adds. ~12 undead dogs and 12 bats 1 bird. had ~8 min for boss and couldn't really get past it's defense. got kicked standing up to it and it was still 80%. boss was malboro, sleep radius was 360 degrees and bad breath was directional. has anyone had success with the malboro boss? or what strat have people used against the really high melee defense bosses. oh and btw the malboro does a tp move that steals/absorbs all the buffs off of a target, we realized after that a lot of our nuke resists were most likely due to it having shell up from stealing it.

[Hitoru]

We pretty much went in with a standard group that you'd see in Dynamis in terms of jobs. Feril came on his WAR instead of Kraken/Ridill DRK and our other two Ridill DRKs were afk or somewhere else. This was our first official run, but I did one on Tuesday evening with about 18 people exactly and we ended up getting the final Wivre NM to about 50% before time ran out. We didn't kill the tiger on that run because we were busy kiting the undead flesh since we were low on bards as well as people, obviously.

For the run Whcorona posted above, we got to the Buffalo with about 12-13 minutes to spare, I believe. From there he was just using consecutive knockback attacks instead of normal ones and pretty much switched hate as much as he wanted to. Eventually we all just gathered closed and hung him on the wall while trying to do damage. BLM AM2 was hitting 800+ easy and melee attacks were rounding out at around 400-500 WS damage with SA gekko hitting about 920 once and sticking around 830 most of the time. Was hard since he kept turning, but we couldn't really set up a SC or whatever.

We had the bird as well, the one that's brown and killed it almost instantly without it weakening the NM or changing any status on the field; no chest drop either. We had about 6 BLMs, 2 SMNs, 2 WHMs, 3 BRDs and various DD, in case anyone is curious. But yes, loldfeet.

[Eanae]

Second time run:

8-9 bats
Wivre Boss
Random tiger - no chest drop

Elemental Seal + Sleepga II landed on bats
Lulliby worked really well, even from weakened bard

Two-houred the first few bats to get them down fast, when the bats thined out, pld kited some when sleeps started to get resisted. They went down with relatively no troubles. Got to the boss, and he was easy as hell, but ended up running out of time at about 36%. The boss hits pretty hard, so we used a Ninja tank when it brought me down fast. It spams attack down which made most melee's hit for 0 until erased. Never got a SC off due to weapon skill spam and poor last minute communication.

Our Ls made our 2nd attempt today: Siegrune's Chamber

29 of us, we ended up with Rotting Huskarl(blm) types, Nickur, and Nihhus(wivre) as mega-boss. I hate skeltons.

We pulled the Skeletons first, having each party in the ally go after a mob to minimize ganging up on slept bards. A few Ga III's, and the occassional annoying undead TP moves but very manageable. One party also kept their eye out for the solo mob, which was a bird for us, dropping amoury crate full of goodies. The doomed were of no major concern, quicky dispatched.

Nihhus, as seems to be the pattern with all the mega-bosses, seemed to have a significant amount of HP but a high defense, spamming of Granite Skin, and wivre's ability to guard may have made it seem like more. We basically just threw ridills at it...that always seems to work no? Magic wise, it appeared that Ice was the most effective. It seemed to just spam boiling blood, granite skin, and attack down most of the fight, and we made sure to keep people away from the rear so I'm assuming the other typical wivre moves were at it's disposal. At about 30% it added a new move Collossal Slam, AoE flail type attack, causing paralyze/virus and a pretty hefty amount of damage, but was able to be absorbed by 3 shadows. Short range mages were able to still cast and have no fear of being hit. As per the normal lower hp TP spam mobs do, we stuck in a rdm/drk chainspell stun, and had stunners firing off as we gradually worked it down.

Since we weren't so magic heavy, I apologize for not having many SC> Mb results. This might yield faster kills, otherwise you are going to need a fair amount of time b/c of the freaking defense. I think we beat on this thing for about 15 minutes.

We finished it off with about 6 minutes left.
At the end we were delighted by our reward, 2 wivre mauls and a horn. Typical Tribe drops ftw....

[Quixotic]

Second run for my linkshell earlier in the evening at Siegrune's Chamber.

Entered with 36 (tank pt and 2 melee pts in one alliance, 3 blm pts in other alliance). We had only 3-4 bards to sleep stuff.

Only had to fight a set of undead hounds (didn't count how many we fight, i'm guessing 20). Pink bird popped while we were taking care of hounds, and we all switched targets and killed it. The bird gave us a item chest with a buncha temp items like fool's drink, spies drink, strange milk, and reraise scrolls. After that we just finished up the remaining hounds and then proceeded to engage the boss.

Our boss was the Orobon NM again, so we knew what to expect. We skillchained and MBed until our non utsusemi using skillchainers died and so we basically just free nuked and WSed from 60% down. Pretty easy if the people in range keep shadows up and your blms are decent at stunning. (I was there as war/nin and ended up tanking from ~50% to 0, and I was able to keep shadows up easily and never got knocked back by Seismic Tail). Boss dead with plenty of time left, maybe 5-6mins remaining before we popped the chest. Orobon meat x3

[BRP]

Quixotic, did you noticed the boss using WSes in sets of threes? That's apparently his little gimmick. If he wasn't, it's possible that killing the bird or all the monsters in the room stopped that.

[Quixotic]

Yeah it does use the WS in sets of 3, I wasn't paying attention, but someone in my LS said if you just stun the first of the set, it won't do the other 2. I couldn't really tell if that was true through all the battle spam and trying to keep shadows up, maybe someone could help verify it.

[BRP]

Oh, okay, it looks like it probably didn't have an effect on it.

Maybe the bird/tiger/sheep doesn't have an effect on the boss if it drops a chest. All seems so weird to me. (Or maybe it counts on the boss).

Anyway, looking over the people's reports... I guess it is confirmed that bosses aren't assigned to chambers(or at least, a single chamber). A lot of people probably noticed this already .

Just to confirmed that any can appear in all 3(and not just split among 2 chambers each), has anyone fought Nihhus in Rossweisse's chamber?

There's always the possibility that what monsters or boss you encounter is based on elemental day. (Too much variety to be based on something like Moon phases).

[LidenbokValour]

Second run for my linkshell too, Siegrune(sp) > x5 Doom Toad x10~ Dark Elementals

18 people, we managed to kill the toads, with 3 toads remaining the black bird popped we managed to claim but depopped the damn toads kept us busy. So we decided to proceed onto the elementals, and damn we managed to kill one but they just raped us obviously needed more than 18 and 1 brd =x was kinda of a spare of the moment thing we normaly have 26~.

[ringthree]

Also did anyone with the Tiger notice a new WS? Something like Crossthrash? It apparently dispelled a melee's buffs on one of our runs. However it was dead so fast, didn't have much time to figure it out, lol

Tigers in Dynamis-Qufim use Crossthrash, didn't know it dispelled but explains were my reraise went last weekend.

[Gwynplaine]

I like how someone on wiki is claiming Einherjar scales as a fact, and the reason being that 6 people couldn't work otherwise

[Not Kuno]

People still use the wiki?
