Almighty Apkallu

i don't think it would be like Rose Garden/Taisaijin since its on the boat, and if it was wouldn't it need more then the 2 on the boat, what if they worked it out so as long as no Apkullas are killed in the whole server it pops

-Key Item: Frog Fishing
Description: This special technique requires the use of a live fly on your line. It is perfect for catching amphibious prey.

Apkallu are amphibious since they come in the ferry from the sea ... well just a though but maybe you need this key item to catch this NM ~

I think you're getting aquatic and amphibious confused >_>

[Silenus]

Is it likely that the spawn condition is similar to Rose Garden, but instead of having to do with the mob being left alone, it has to do with the people actually riding the ferry???

i.e., if no one at all rides the ferry for x amount of time, the window opens?

If no apkallus are killed across every server for 48 hours, it has a chance of popping on a random server if, at the 48 hour mark, there is wind weather, the AC is gone, and nobody is on the boat.

I think he means they're amphibious for dwelling both in the sea and on land.

[Demitrius]

Why do I have a feeling that people are suddenly going to start fishing up Poroggo Madames?

Yeah, everyone know Apkallu walk in land, i was explaining why i think they can go in sea too ... which make them amphibious

Penguins (order Sphenisciformes, family Spheniscidae) are a group of aquatic, flightless birds living almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere.

Amphibians apkallus are not.

[Sagacious Sundi]

Amphibious does not always mean "amphibian", I believe... Think of a frogman. They tend to be mammalian.

Aquatic and amphibian aren't mutually exclusive. While the term "amphibian" does refer specifically to frogs, toads, etc. the adjective "amphibious" refers to anything that can navigate both land and sea.

Penguins are aquatic birds, but they are also amphibious. The reason the article explicitly states "aquatic" and "flightless" is because those are what makes it stand apart from other birds. Most birds can dwell on land, that's nothing special. The fact that they can also swim (aquatic) and can't fly (flightless) are points of note.

But "aquatic" in itself isn't a specific category such that things are categorized as "aquatic" or "amphibious". In fact, anything that's amphibious is also aquatic (and land-dwelling), by definition.

looking at this logically is nice and all but come on, this is a video game, shit doesn't have to make sense.

Has anyone tried having multiple people in a party/alliance with a high hate level with the Apkalu to see if your hate levels combine together? Maybe it won't spawn unless you need more hate to spawn it then one person can have on the boat and thats what makes it so rare?

I don't know when the last server reset was but I remember when grips were introduced people thought the nashamu guards sold other grips like the pole strap and when I took the boat there it was packed (to the point where some were getting kicked off as it left). Maybe that surge of people comming/going met the hate level condition on some servers sand spawned when people were just sitting below deck like me? I know for me boat rides are a nice time to afk so I would be unaware if it was ever even up there.

I think the trick has to be something simple related to the hate level because that's a pretty unique trait to the mob. The name "Almighty Apkalu" and their anger issues seem to be related. The more hate they are filled with then the stronger they become, I think if they see a boat full of genocidal apkalu slaughtering machines then they get angry enough to become become "Almighty".

Ooh I just thought of this.........What is morphing into the almighty apkalu is a very rare ws it does with a very high hate level? Anyone try just letting it spam ws's for the whole ride?

Apkallu BANKAI!

looking at this logically is nice and all but come on, this is a video game designed by people, shit doesn't have to make sense except whatever "sense" the people who made it wanted.

fixed for great justice. There is sense in this game. From really really basic: when you take too much damage you die, to "big nasty monsters go psycho when they feel they're in danger (ie under 25% hp).

The only things that don't make sense are things that would make the game unbalanced and/or didn't want to make things too complicated, like "monster the size of Tiamat hits you you just die, no questions asked" , "sleeping birds should fall to the ground", "people should be able to step over obstacles like at Byakko isle or use their arms and climb obstacles torso to waist-high." or "punching a bard in the mouth should interrupt their singing."

I didn't even read the rest of your post, sorry.

to rerail, wiki says Apkallu can use Wing Whirl.

i've gotten max hate twice, almost max hate another 2 times, and i've never seen this move... apkallu hate seems to be in levels:

Lv1: Yawn only.
Lv2: Frigid Shuffle/Beak Lunge mostly. Yawn very low.
Lv3: Wing Slap/Frigid Shuffle mostly. Beak Lunge sometimes. Yawn very very low.

That's my general "levels", I'm sure theres maybe different "levels" inbetween each of them to be more specific, but I've never seen Wing Whirl. Has anyone ever seen this? Maybe "max hate" isn't just hitting for 0?


oh btw i have no plans the entire night, so i'll be doing many tests :D

I added that to the wiki.. i had never seen the move before either.. but when one used it on me I took a screenshot, and I wasnt sure of my hate level. I don't know why noone else has seen this move. Maybe I am the one who can pop allmighty!!

[Pergo]

do you have a screenshot? not calling poidh, but like what apkallu was it, were you at max hate? ect ect

[fantasticdan]

This is the only other site that mentions wing whirl I can find:

I guess they could have copied it from the NA wiki thou...
