Pandemonium Warden, one of the deadliest creatures to ever threaten Vana'diel, has been defeated for the first time ever! The Warden had remained undefeated since his introduction along with the new Aht Urhgan Notorious Monsters in June 2008. Allakhazam has posted an article discussing the monumental event, so be sure to check it out!

Just over five months ago, Final Fantasy XI finally got the attention that its playerbase has been clamoring for since as long as they can remember. Unfortunately, that attention came in the form of laughter from the gaming community that the above mentioned playerbase would subject itself to a game containing a mob that couldn't be killed after 18 hours of effort. The Warden had yet to be successfully killed, so while this was no doubt a valiant effort, it was also a pioneering one and therefore surely not the original intended battle that it eventually turned into.

Nevertheless, the article surged across the Internet and resulted in an impromptu patch that changed the Pandemonium Warden, causing it to despawn if not defeated within two hours.

Located in the depths of the Aydeewa Subterrane, this frightening beast takes on 10 different forms. Upon using his special move Hellsnap, the Pandemonium Warden will then change into one of the following forms: Battleclad Chariot, Long-Bowed Chariot, Long-Armed Chariot, Armored Chariot, Cerberus, Hydra, Khimaira, Gulool Ja Ja, Medusa, and Gurfurlur the Menacing. The lamps that accompany the Warden will change into different mobs, depending what form he changes into.

The Warden will return to his original Dvergr form and players must fight him until he uses Hellsnap again, at which point he will take on another form. All 10 forms, as well as his original Dvergr form (who uses Astral Flow and calls all avatars), must be slain in order for him to be defeated.

More recently, the infamous Dvergr was finally slain by the linkshell Apathy on Remora , reportedly with only five minutes left on the clock. Congratulations to the Pandemonium Quellers of Apathy from the entire Allakhazam team!

Also, LOL at the "DEFEATED" stamped across the picture. Reminds me of the WANTED stamped across bounty heads in Cowboy Bebop or something, rofl.

[Demosthenes11]

lol....so this is how he is supposed to be killed...

fuckin se

[Virtuous Saint]

Wow lol did not expect this.

[Aksannyi]

Lol... so they link to Alla on the POL site ... interesting.

I'm wondering if they know about the whole log off thing, I still really don't believe that's how it was meant to be killed, especially since you can't log off to pop the 1F frog in Zhayolm anymore lol. If it is ... well that's silly, but well, winning's winning I guess.

[vagus]

Why oh god why? Lol. So logging out for Astral Flow a legit strat and won't get people LM-17ed?

[Titanss]

I'm just surprised they didn't slap a little "Please note: the following method will be patched out as of next patch." disclaimer at the bottom

That's what I want to know, if they expected us to log out to combat the lamps from killing everything w/ astral flow spam

[Sho]

Ahhh SE, you guys lol.

[Indalecia]

Fucking idiots

[Virtuous Saint]

No they didn't expect anyone to log off, and I have already explained how to not get hit by Astral Flow. Logging of was more to keep PW off of us while we killed the lamps than to dodge AF, as I know exactly how to do that so it hits just one person.

Unless you're a community site... SE doesn't care about your exsistance D:

EDIT: WTF, I thought someone said PFA wasn't a Community Site... >.>

[Deader2818]

Prob cause Alla is an official site for SE while BG is not.

[The Blackrose]

Still doesn't discount the fact that PFA, which is a community site, got snubbed.
