Soloing Arrapago Remnants QQTHs & QQAs

[Wizerd]

If i do the gears on floor 5, the ramprt will aggro if im mistaken. Or i can avoid it with sneak invis? I think if i pull the chariot it will aggro the ramaprt


how this works?

Just wait till the gears are away from the Rampart and pull them. Also, the rampart wont aggro you if you sneak/inv past it.

The Ramparts are sneak only (and of course magic). I actually wanted to test this for sure last run, so I went right up, in, around and all over the thing and had no aggro. As soon as I cancelled sneak, it came after me. Invis was never up.

went with 6 yesterday to leech stuff but they end up helping we got magic cells weapons really quick still the

QQA floor 2 - no drop
QQTH floor 3 - no drop
QQTH floor 4 - no drop - other members farmed gears for subjobs to try chariot.
Psyflayer - Duo and help on the last %.

No time for chariot, Psyflayer takes to much time to kill trying to avoid that aoe bio shit and agas for a lot.

Anyway works liek wonders. A blu/nin with meds can do this with cuises or not.

Since he likes to ccast alot of spells he will stop a lot doing agas AM, or tier 4. i used cocoon, sushi, and cannonball to stay away from him. sometimes a disservement.

I started with a rdm, he bio 2, nukes ad kite. then our friends start to hitting it while i was kitting. Maybe will go quicker if strait tank but we always wipe if he decides to AGA 3.

anyway was fun. And if chariot is the same way i think is easier just the space is very small to kite.

Past saturday we got our first MAcha Coat Congrats HAsrice from lakshmi.

4th floor while pt members killed gears i was doing QQTH with blu/nin




Now we have to kill our nemesis to get morrigan body 3/3

[Darkslitter]

So I solo/duo QQs every now and then and decided to pull the flayer for shits and giggles solo last night. I was rdm/nin and could stand about 14 distance away from him without him moving towards me, would cast only. Without legs unlocked I was able to run away from agas except sleepga and got it down to 83% solo with just bio3. Died due to a sleepga > thunder4, but it never ran toward me to melee, someone point out it might at lower %s and it definately would if it ran out of tp, but I'm pretty sure a blm/nin and rdm could duo it pretty easily. He's not faster than normal movement speed even if he did run out of mp. I'm not sure if a rdm would have enough time to solo w/ poison pots.

[Johyo]

I tired this for the first time last night solo.

2nd floor QQA this guy was a joke took about 15min

3rd floor QQTH got him to 70% a few times and wasted about 20min before deciding to move on and cut my losses, I had W legs from box and I still dont understand how people are soloing him

4th floor QQTH a bigger joke then 2nd floor QQA........ almost anyone w/ dot could probably solo this guy w/ enough time.

5th floor QQA this guy is a pain just b/c of the gear in the path in they way. I ended up just doing it and when the gear aggroed i kept him sleeping.

If i figure out any ideas for 3rd floor that i can do it i will report back.

But rdm/nin does 2nd 4th and 5th floors ez solo

has anyone tried this as RNG/NIN?

my idea was to zerg it. sidewinder > barrage > sidewinder > sidewinder (icarus wing) > EES.
should be able to take him out and if that doesent do the trick u could throw in some ranged attacks to finish him off

[Koyangi]

except for the fact the mob is a thf with high ass evasion and sidewinder is the most inaccurate ws out there, I'd say you could possibly get lucky.

QQA yes, QQTH no.

[ffxiUnicorn23]

ya i was more asking about the blm type mob not the thf

[fishstix]

Once somehow, the 2F QQa was glitched and stood on the ledge of the final teleport pad. It looked like he could warp at any moment, but he just stood there, didn't even cast magic. I was afraid of him warping, so I told everyone not to move, and the melees closest to the QQ, TP'd it down.

That sounds like it would be very difficult if you didn't get an Undulatus cell on the initial chest. Would you be able to take a Lamia solo at that point?

[Churchill]

Uh I would think a RNG could solo a Lamia, considering meds and stuff. They aren't really that hard. It's about 300hp lost on MNK if bad TP/Counters don't go off so I imagine RNG could just load Rampage gear or something.

[Seditedi]

RNG would fail miserably at QQTH though, not really worth going in solo as RNG.
I guess Venom Bolts, but I don't know the DOT of them and how long it lasts, I guess you could do 4F, but definitely not 3F.

Was wondering if anyone has a video of the 2nd and 5th floor qqa fights?
Tried this for the first time the other day on drk. Pulled floor 2 qqa all the way back to the room you port up to, while putting on dots and draining and aspiring. Eventually i had him as far towards the start point as i could and still run out of range of ga spells but he keeps moving towards you, so i tried to pass him as he was casting a tier v and pull him back towards the porter to floor 3. The plan was to do this then repeat when i got back to the other end, but as soon as i passed him he just ran back to the porter and warped at 60% ; ;.
Should i have just sat at the doorway to the room that you begin floor 2 in once i had pulled him back as far as i could?

[Churchill]

You need to kill him as fast as possible lol.

Your plan was good, but the problem was you kept running away. When you run from his spells (which you should only be running from necessary ones), make sure you run back into range just after he finishes casting but before he starts moving too much, if possible. If he gets you too close to the wall, wait until he starts casting an AM spell or tier IV - that's the best time to run past him, but don't be slow. He won't move WHILE casting. Don't leave the decision to pass him to the last moment, either, because then you'll have bad luck and he won't cast one of the spells you want at all.

[bblazeuk]

Next time i guess i'll just not pull him as far to start with, back of only for ga spells, and pass on the first AM he does, and hope passing doesn't make him run again. Any Idea what the optimal distance is to stand from him to get him to stay still?

He'll readjust himself to his favourite casting range if you go too far away, do this once to find out how far you want to be, then stay here for all but -aga IIIs. There's no need to pull him away from where he was, and passing won't make him Warp if you aren't right beside him when he has the option to move. Also, if he's low HP and you get the chance (via AM spell would be the best bet), pop souleater and rape the last few %. You should able to kill anything under 10% in a hit or two with this, provided you got HP cell. If you don't wanna risk it, just keep going as normal.

[bblazeuk]

Any idea what these guys hp is, had a look through the thread but couldnt find it. Was thinking for 5th floor who was even more of a pain, to just pop SE+BW and zerg with fort axe or m kris soon as he casts a AM, depending on what cells i get.

2F one is probably about 3-3.5k HP? While 5F would be closer to 4.5-5k, I think. Haven't really paid too much attention though.
