So we did valkurm tonight, we were running short on time so we were in a hurry to reach the boss, and long story short someone got aggro from a cactuar and it ended up linking a manticore then the boss.
We figured we were fucked because we just arrived and were setting up the positioning, but the extra two malboro babies and the mobs around where the megaboss sits did not pop when it linked. has this happened to anyone else or is it just a convinent glitch? we did not kill any extra NMs besides the gobbue and fairy ring, so it has to do with the boss aggroing on the link not by an aggressive action...
