ZNM Solo Info

[Thorny]

BLM can solo lil' apkallu, having others help pull would make it even easier. Pull back to the clearing past the first boat, and every couple min it'll freak out and run all the way to spawn and back to you. During this time you can rest up, then when it comes back you can nuke once and then DOT it again. Nuhn can be kited forever, so you could kill it like that, albeit slowly. The soulflayer is most likely not happening, and lamia definitely isn't unless you do some cheap bio-zoning or something.

[Darkdoom]

Even without running all the way out from his spawn point it's easy, just don't run into the mirror guards and drop a nuke when he's running in circles like an idiot.

Stop being a hero and just ask me to come RDM so it doesn't take quite as long. If he's anything like the ZNMs I've done, it can take anywhere from 15 minutes(Ob) up to an hour(Lil' Apkallu) and even longer. He's probably on the far side of the scale, 1:30~2:00+ hours.

How exactly does one solo Ob? I just gave it a shot, and gave up after about an hour and a half of it curing itself back to full.

Sorry, Ob wasn't technically a "solo" for me. I had my rdm/nin char there, then my main as WAR/PUP(Just random). Made it be RNG and just nuked it down. Could probably just RDM/PUP it, though you'd have to make sure never to get WSed, or you're dead.

Wish I would have known that before popping <____<;

Oh well, time to farm up 1k more zeni.

=/ Sorry. Even a level 1 PUP would let you do it though, RNG frame has literally no defense. (750~ blizz III with a good nuking set)

[Gsarivan]

Has anyone tried soloing Vulpangue? A SMN or BST perhaps who can easily deal with the TP moves? If so I'd appreciate a method (no matter the job) for future reference.

I'm interested in this as well, anyone have any info?

My friend has solo'd it as RDM/NIN, said it wasn't too bad. I've duo'd it a couple of times with him as RDM/NIN as well and it was easy enough to lead me to believe solo wouldn't be a big problem.

wouldn't really say it's not a big problem without trying it, really depends what the person has for gear though.. it took me 2 tries to win the day it came out iirc, definitely need a good mnd set, dmg- set, and haste set since bind is pretty ineffective after a couple casts

edit: method is pretty similar to cactrot rapido, keep slow2/para1/haste/phalanx/ss up and tank it, though you can use bind for when you need to convert.. if you want to move up to duo you can just bind and pull it to the nearby aydeewa zone and have your duo partner nuke->zone on blm or sch or spam BPs at spawnpoint on SMN while you tank it(much easier and quicker duo and the non-RDM can get away with /thf)

When I popped this solo it popped in Harlequin form, or whichever has Magic Mortar... was ok till about 20%, then it started SPAMMING (every 15-30 secs) magic mortar for 800ish dmg through stoneskin, and phys-50% or magic-50% didn't seem to help.. i tried to place it at a distance to recover, but when i was ready it did a 1600 dmg MM through stoneskin (I guess it has tp regain and had 300tp?) so.... no, harlequin form doesn't seem soloable

[Thorny]

pretty sure they're talking about vulpangue not ob

[hedcc]

wulgaru rages in 60 now just happened to us trioing it. we took arrapago portal up then back down it gain 10% but was back to easy unresisted mode

[Darkslitter]

I don't know if it's been posted, but lil apkallu will hit a rdm/war with phalanx, defender, tacos and -44%(50% at night) damage set up for 0-single digits. A whm friend, me, and a ninja who's the whm's friends mule killed it a few times a while ago.

[Corrderio]

So has any Corsair soloed Dea? I know someone said a COR can, just curious since I think the conal attacks would be a threat.

I really need to try and solo some of these on COR, I did fine on Cheese Hoarder til I chocked and took a wrong turn

You won't give it TP. Just blink during QD and don't get hit.

Easier with W.Legs of course, but doable without. Will take a while though..

I got Hermes so I'm good in the movement speed. But I thought Dea had a TP Regain trait.

You can pull it back to the first clearing in the zone with all the apkallu and it'll run back to spawn and back to you every 3 minutes or so.. effectively giving you a free full rest. Very easy kill solo on RDM or BLM.. more just speeds it up.

@Dea thing, pretty sure it has slight regain but regardless it's easy to outrange all of the tp moves besides demoralizing roar, which is just attack down.

[Corrderio]

Okay, thanks for the advice. Gonna have to try and solo this stuff in the future.

[Massimo]

But I thought Dea had a TP Regain trait.

Eh, forgot about that. But yeah, it shouldn't be a problem. Especially not with Hermes'.

[Diomer]

Can someone else verify this?
Here's my experience. We popped Sarameya with 9 people and started fighting. first attempt at this, started off kinda of crazy. Anyway, we only had one PLD to tank this, and we played around with him for what seemed like an hr at 50ish %. The PLD was going down every few minutes and a RDM was backup tanking after the first death. Leaders didn't like the way it was going so they said just wipe and well start fresh. So we wiped, let him regen to full and started saccing a brd to keep him from despawning. When we were ready, we started fighting him again and he raged in like 5-10 minutes on us.
Possible glitch?

I've seen this behavior multiple times on ZNMs. Namely Gotoh + Tinnin. The Tinnin raged much faster but it still did reset and eventually got killed by Bioing it to prevent more than 2-3% regen while recovery. (I only died the first time solo tanking from Slow and Elegy being off so long -.-) So, you can still kill them as long as you make sure to slap a DoT on and recover but make sure you kill it fast when you resume killing it. And don't solo tank Tinnin - it really sucks when Slow + Elegy aren't on;;
