Beadeaux NMs:

Di'Zho Spongeshell: E-9/10 of first map
DRK, alternates between melee and magic absorb when it uses 2hour animation. Three quadavs near it, took a bit of time with (NIN BRD SCH RDM SAM BLU) (BLM RNG THF BRD), wiped the first time because of too many links.
Only dropped Shakudo Letterbox.

Ra'Dha Scarscute: H-9 of first map
Appears to be RNG, but uses WAR 2hour. Seems to be immune or highly resistant to stun. Very easy, especially compared to Sponge. Same set up as above.
Only dropped Wrought Iron Letterbox.

Blifnix Oilycheeks: G-7 of second map (underground)
RNG or THF, ranged attacker. Extremely easy, left a single bomb out twice, but at one point dropped 5+ bombs all at once. Same set up as above.
Only dropped Iron Letterbox.


The other five NMs are on the other side of the gate that requires key from the present. One of them is underground.

[Eldelphia]

Any clues on the mirror tiara yet?

[Jowah]

Exactly, which NM drops Louhi's Mask? How many people are needed for the kill ?

[Anza]

From beadaux [s], we got that mask from the 2nd nm we came to, I believe it was at h8/h9 on the upper floor. It was a pld NM and it dropped the Louhi's Mask and a 1h axe called Fleetwing. I dont remember his name but he was no where near as annoying as some of the other NM's there. Like the first one who switchs between melee/magic damage healing it. Or the ranger one who spam dropped paralyzing/silenceing/binding tubes in the middle of every one and ran away from who ever had hate so you could only range kill it.

[Trolll]

Yeah i was going to say. An attack+3 grip? hp+10 vit+1 pebble? From mobs that level? Kind of nuts.

My money is on it being gear for level sync... Something that scales down "effectively". Sounds like the kind of crazy solution SE would come up with to compensate for their bad/lazy scaling system. As well as encouraging us to explore the past beastmen strongholds!

La Vaule BCNM.

That is AWESOME :O

[Jkun]

It needs a full alliance? Christ...

[Marcin]

You don't need a full alliance, it was very easy. We just didn't know what to expect.

[Afrohatch]

Calling GM for Craudin

[Quixotic]

The shield bash rings adds damage. Marcin bashed a slug for 209 with aegis, while our other aegis pld bashed for 169.

[Marcin]

We're about to do the other two BCs right now, i'll post stuff about them afterwards, or sucker Quix into doing it!

[Ruiner]

Calling GM for Craudin

Oh God help me I LOLd far more than I should have.

[Quixotic]

The Orc BCNM was pretty easy. There was one main PLD orc, and 4 adds (2 rng, 2...something else, but they were easy). None of them can be slept, so we had one pld hold the 4 adds while we killed them and the other hold the NM till we were done. The adds don't repop either. Adds are very squishy, and die really fast. The PLD NM itself is pretty easy, but there is one move that has insane knockback + amnesia + hate reset from what we saw. Battle dance also has insane range, so mages should stay at max casting range. It will use Invincible multiple times, but that really isn't a big deal. It also has some weird-ass dance that gives itself Haste. Melee damage is alright, I was using a martial bhuj on WAR/NIN with couerl subs and was doing 500-600ish Steel Cyclones at 100tp.

edit: Dorps come from an armoury crate, just in case anyone wanted to know, and title given was Debaser of Dynasties
