Dynamis Beaucedine - Soloing the Attestation Eye

[omgaggrohelpme]

done it as RNG and SAM before, it is a very good guide and very helpful for smaller shells.

[Lorax]

Necro bumper! Heard a rumor from a friend in my LS that this is no longer possible due to double-weakness making you unable to damage even with DoT's. Still possible? I'm going for my scythe attestation soon and this is bugging me. I want to solo it on drk (will have to RR a lot I know but I've got capped exp so it's cool)

Any input would be cool, thanks!

[sruon]

*shrug* Bio works fine double weak, just direct damage spells won't.

[fishstix]

Don't know of any recent changes, but being double weak didn't affect dot dmg before. If you can bring a mule to sac pull the eye, you can probably 2hr and zerg the eye down in 1 go.

[chiyio]

We took it down(barely!), dropped GSword and we needed Shield, lol.

You were kiting Orcs around the tower that Goublefaupe spawns at? Thats a pretty long run to get to a tower just to kite Orcs, when both Orc camps have towers much closer. Consistency issues? Also Shield attestation is its own drop slot.

I think he meant attestation nm on orc's camp.

Tried this last night on drk/nin solo. A few things I've noticed.

1. I couldn't find this "sweet spot" where you can stand, cast on the eye, die, reraise, recover mp apply reraise etc without getting aggro. Is it necessary to pull the eye out of the tower first? If so, won't he return back to his original point?

2. If you have to HP and try fleeing up to the tower again.... forgettaboutit! I tried 3 times to get back up there and if it wasn't one thing it was another that kicked my ass on the way up.

I've done it once solo as BLM/RDM with a THF to help me get there and to do the initial pull of the eye fleeing the Hydras away then dropping glass so I can isolate the eye behind the tower. However, when I tried to replicate this a 2nd time, I ate a bind which refused to break and an Aero IV through SS for 800 with Shell II up. After that, I started taking a 2nd BLM up with the THF and I. Solo you may need to use manafont too. I pull the eye with an ES Grav as it comes out of the tower just to make sure it sticks, a gravity resist could really screw things up and turn it into a Bio/Poison solo which as BLM/RDM is painful with that Hydra DRK popped right in front of the tower.

I find this strategy the best for low man shells, however i have a question. Is it possible to Slow/Paralyze this eye? If so, it should be possible to straight tank it as RDM/NIN? (Using dots and nukes)

Edit: Wiki says they can cast Tier 3 -ga's, is it possible to bind this eye? (Though you can take a distance and pre-cast utsusemi while switching -Mag.Def gears)

i believe you can cast through the tower walls

just keep trying around the back of the tower

i have done it before and im sure it should be still there

[fishstix]

When I did mine, I didn't have to find the sweet spot, I bio/poisoned it, linked the fomors and died/reraised just fine. Also, I messed up twice doing this. The first time, I only made it 2/3 the way there. The second time, I forgot to put reraise up, and finally got it on the 3rd time. Each time, I homepointed and came back.

Do you think its possible to solo the Eye then solo Goublefaupe? I want an Attestation of Invulnerability for my PLD.

Not possible, time limit would fuck you over.

[Arthars]

and he will cure

Easy to slow and para unless magic shield is up, I imagine rdm/nin could do it with even an NQ MDB set straight tanking. Agas do about 1k with shell 4, stoneskin eats another 350, and NQ set would knock off another 100+. Just need someone to sac it for you.

We send a thf to sac, a rdm or whm, a nin/drk, and a DD to speed up the kill. You could go without the DD if a smaller shell, just takes longer. I've actually done it with just WHM/THF and NIN/DRK but I had to bene cause that one was aga happy and eyes on me hurts, plus I was weakened from doing the sac.

Also, a question. According to the wiki map, there is a 15 minute TE eye about halfway to the attestation eye tower. Is that triggered by anything, or is it always there? I was thinking of stopping halfway and having the thf sac it, then the rest killing it for a free 15 minute TE. Just wondering how viable that is.
The one I'm talking about is H-8.

[fishstix]

According to http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/ff...s/b/b6/Bea.jpg you need to kill eyes 138-140. Also it's not quite half way to the eye, it's sort of out of the way.

[Arthars]

those eyes timers x2 were KINDA worth it during prepatch

but after since beastman drops AF more often, i would say, fuck the eye timers

[Blasta]

Another question,

Does Eye and the hydras that pop with it share hate? When THF dies while fleeing away from the tower, do the Hydra's that pop'd with eye, go after RDM? (Like Hydras <-> Attest NM)

Shortly, is double sac neccessary?

[Teorem]

None of the Hydra share hate with any of the Vanguard Eyes that spawn them, including the ones that spawn from the Vanguard Eye that triggers the attestations NMs when killed.

Just thought I'd reply again to clear it up. Easy Duo Drk+Rdm, we took a nin buddy and he thought it'd be fun to mijin @ 20%... Hilarity ensued. He Took it down 18% w/ mijin, bio finished it.

My test refuses to drop thus far though ; ;

Hey guys, i finally got the chance to join friend's Beaucedine run and try killing attestation eye with RDM/NIN & PLD/THF (No hermes @ AH lol)

This time we actually used extra character to sac pull 121-121 to near 110, giving RDM+PLD time to run near 123. We started fleeing from 123 and cancel flee above 128, PLD used Flee (ability) and RDM used another pair of boots to run the rest of the way.

Then we used the same strategy as most => die at ramp => wait weakness => run behind tower.

The solo fight as RDM was fairly simple, bind/slow/gravity/paralyze all works great. Tier III nukes did about 150~. The eyes health is ridiculously low. I didnt eat any GA IIIs, since i heard they are strong. I got slept once but luckily i had it bound and it chocked me. Remember to bring Poison Potions. He did NOT use any TP moves, so had no trouble with magic barrier)

Here is a couple shots i took, i noticed that theres alot space to run around, use it.
