New ToAU NMs (Now with 100% more Pandemonium!) pg77

[Max™]

I'm still betting Sandworm Guivre.

Shenlong, Dragon, Guivre needs a non-Tathlum/Body drop still.

KA dropped Shield/Tathlum/Body, possibly Belt.
Serket dropped Ring/Body, still needs more drops to flesh his pool out.
Guivre dropped Tathlum/Body/Skull, seems unlikely that the skull is the finishing piece.

[Flippant]

Serket is Tathlum, not KA. I think they all drop body+extra piece+typical NM drop.

[Eleven19]

Still no Pachipachio !

[Max™]

Ooh good catch, thought it was White Tathlum/Shield/Breastplate on KA, but the other Tathlum is on Serket.

Hey, i been searching through endless pages on this thread. I dont seem to see much posted on the NM "Dea" T3 for hydra pop. We just finished both Armed gears and the Mamool.

Anyone have any helpfull tips on the fight? Our LS pretty much manaburns everything, but all BLM's also have melee jobs too. So any info would be usefull^^ thanks

Armed Gears strategy we used:
Used 4-5 BLM/NIN's, 1 PLD/NIN, 2 RDM/NIN, 1 WHM/BRD, and WHM/BLM (mainly for raises lol)
Nuked the element that the en-spell was weak to. unless it was Enthunder.. none of the BLM felt like wasting MP on stone spells lol. Fight got easier and easier as its HP went down. Until it almost completley stopped casting En-spells (after being dispelled off). thats When we started using element of the day it was. worked pretty well.
Ended up getting 2 Polearm and Thunder grip off two pops.

Gotoh Zha the Remolent strategy we used:
Used about same setup as armed gears, with 4-5 BLM/NIN's and a NIN kiter, a SMN, as well as a few RDM and BRD for refresh and WHM for constant raise /cry.
Very rough fight. his WS's one shotted the BLM's multiple times. pretty much BLM's would take turns nuking then kiting and dieing until it was finally dead. They all kited it around the building where he is poped. and Weak rested on the hills.
Groundlunge did 1k+ every time to all jobs. and Firespit was doing 800+ without stoneskin. Usually all the WS's one-shotted the BLM's even with utsusemi. So possible /RDM sub better.
Posisble Tip: One of the BRD's changed to RNG toward the end of the fight, and said her ranged attacks were doing 100 per hit and WS's doing 800+. Which would mean very seriously out DDing the BLM's.

Also would be interested in Dea, in the same position as above. Was thinking about zone nuking it, there's an Aydeewa entrance nearby... any suggestions?

Drops from Dea, T3 Wivre. Hard fight with 12 people (Aegis PLD). Uses Demoralizing Roar followed by Crippling Slam every time, Crippling Slam took three shadows towards the end from a NIN with capped Ninjutsu. Damage from Slam was about 500+ with added Paralyze. Our NIN is a solid Kikoku NIN and there is no way he could have tanked it. Elegy landed fine, make sure to dispel Boiling Blood asap or fail.

Post I made on like page 20 about Dea; was our first T3. Now after having done all Hydra and Tyger T3's, I'd say he is pretty damn easy. Nuhn (orobon) on Tyger path was one of the worst low man fights I have ever done.

Yeah I read but it didn't help much, your setup isn't really the same kind we were going for. I'm opting towards "nuke the hell out of it". Gravity, bind, etc.? Zone nuke?

[Wulfgang]

May be tough, seemed to TP regen and crippling slam will...cripple your BLMs. I have no idea on Bind or Gravity, but if you have a RDM, NIN, BRD to hold it outside an Aydeewa zone, you could probably have the BLMs time nuke and zone repeatedly.

make sure to stun crippling slam, i heard an awful lot of bitching about just how brutal the para was from it.

Has enyone found that Enforcer Scythe yet? The little image of it makes it look a lot like a reskiined Death/Apoc with grey parts. D: I want! (Better not be a Pandy drop though ~_~)

I hope it has a hidden effect >.>

Probably doesnt, but it kinda sucks

Tried to low-man that hydra, didn't work so well, dual-wield does jack-shit on him and the only WHM we could get was about as capable as a dead cat.

T1>T4 completely on my points, kinda bummed but got some good info on it at least, definitely not ridill burnable with the same numbers you'd take to the NQ hydra.

Um.. how many did you have?

We are planning on going with 12-15, two ridill, a couple whm, tanks, a few blm too for good measure (as I heard BLM damage works fine on it).

Just killed Dea btw, the fight was easy as hell idk what you had trouble with Wulfgang. Stun crippling slam and he can't do shit to you. Dispel x2 boiling blood. Very easy. Got the pigaches and dark grip.

Couple quick questions bout the Hydra clone, how large of a Regen if any at all. And BLM nukes do typical Half vs ToAU NM or Full like previous?

Also how low did you get it with 8 and what was set up?

[Amedia]

BLM work well, Ridill isnt nearly as effective as it is on normal Hydra, in future might just be lazy and manaburn it, Regen didnt seem that bad and seemed to be static with all 3 heads up as for when it poped with 1 head. and as for Dea it builds resist to gravity and bind.

is there a lv requirement to get zeni?
if there isnt a person could try and free up shittons of space and just mail his mules the soulplates to stockpile tons of zeni mules for extra pops.

Considering most of the creatures asked for are in and around the level 50+ ToAU areas, and need to be claimed/at low HP to be worth a lot of points, I doubt you could get lots with a 10-a-day limit on a mule. For example, right now is Dark Elementals (ugh). I went and took a few of unclaimed 100% HP ones in Sky, and got 15 a pop. True you can go to much lower ares for thinks like tigers, elementals, spiders etc, but still, it's much faster to deck something to low HP, sleep it, and click away on your 75 character, then drop them all off.
