    Map to medusa

    I remember someone here posting a map with a line on a clear path to the red tidal gate (which I was told was the one for medusa). Does anyone still have this? Couldnt find with search.

    Awesome. One more question.

    Is there a condition for the kings to be up? Or just repop time after kill? Went there twice this week and didnt show on wide scan Q.Q

    was the undead besieged force moving or fighting at the time?, or maybe they died in besieged only reason I could see for not repopping.

    repop is prolly 0-1 day after maint OR wont pop right after a beseiged

    3 months ago we went after maint before besiged thinking medusa will 100% pop since we killed gurfurlur the same day 2 hrs ago.........

    wasnt up i had to park mule inside to tractor everyone the next day -_-; it poped right after 22ish hr after that maint

    and there was once jaja wasnt up after 3 hrs(after a mamool besiged, he was there but wasnt killed in besiged)

    Yeah I think it's just a few hours after Besieged regardless. We went to Gurfurlur once shortly after one and he wasn't up. Everyone warped except one guy who went AFK and an hour later it popped in front of him. One thing I also am curious on, is if you lose the AC can they pop before you're back up to Lv5, and if so will they still depop for Beseiged?

    One time we gathered for Ja Ja and Besieged started and he was whisked away, so we went to kill Gurfurlur instead.

    One person AFK'd on the throne in Ja Ja's room. He repopped exactly 1h after Besieged ended.

    It can be more than 1h after besieged. Repopped 1h15 after for us...too bad we left 1h00 after.

    It skips 1 besieged... so I'm guessing 1 besieged+ ??

    Necroposting for good reason, as I imagine a lot more people will be doing ToAU kings as time progresses.

    This map is awesome. But one thing that we failed on was farming the keys.

    To get the Bone/Claw key you need to kill Lamia Idolater. The keys have a fairly low drop rate. You have to kill the ones in Arrapago Reef and they are NOWHERE NEAR MEDUSA!

    Do not try to farm the keys on your way to Medusa.

    The Idolaters are near the Purple Tidal gate. Using this map:

    http://wiki.bluegartr.com/images/f/f..._Mire-map1.jpg

    You want to get your free Fang key from the ??? and go straight north to entrance (1).

    Then in Arrapago Reef:

    http://wiki.bluegartr.com/images/9/9..._Reef-map1.jpg
    Go to the door marked "a" and use a lamia fang key. Go north through the tunnel and out the door marked "b".

    Looking straight north from door "b" the map looks sorta like an upside down horseshoe (with some stuff on the ends). The Idolaters are there. We camped just south of the arrow pointing down on the right hand side and pulled a bunch of them to get our keys. Go out door "b" and follow the east wall around to the north, you should find mobs there to pull. We killed with THF tank, RDM/NIN, BLM/WHm and SMN/WHM slowly but with ease. Any normal-ish party will have no trouble whatsoever.

    It took us quite a bit of time to find where these guys popped, as NONE of the wiki's, alla, somepage or even BG had info on where to farm the keys that we could find in a few hours of searching, so there they are.

    Good luck to everyone else on their mythic weapon hunt.
