I wonder if that's necessary. Once you watch the cutscene (where you hand over your items) you've actually completed Gatherer of Light 1 and are auto-flagged for Gatherer of Light 2, which just consists of clicking the ??? again and beating up the mandies. So everybody (myself included) who got caught by the glitch is technically still flagged for the mandy fight as soon as the ??? is reimplemented. At least I think we are!

There's an npc Goblin in Port Jeuno that gives key items if you trade the 3 seedsqalls

[Ratatapa]

yeah but what are these key items for lol

[Tyrath]

yeah but what are these key items for lol

The coffer in Tenshodo maybe? Didn't someone try one of those keys there and get crap? Maybe its random reward.

And figures, we expect 3hr maintenance for SE to fix the glitch, instead they put up a sign telling us theres a glitch.

Yeah, you just get crap from the Tenshodo coffer. I got rainbow cloth and a random log >_>

Anyone know if Head butt works on the final boss?

[Fou-Lu]

This fight is gayer then aids.

[Asura_Zilla]

Head Butt doesn't work, only normal stun. Really annoying fight, we managed to get it down to 36% (DRK RNG RDM BLM BLU WHM) before we got overwhelmed by unfortunate AoEs. Seems to me like the less people you have in AoE range the better (preferably with some sort of -mdt or +mdb) otherwise you might get overwhelmed just by the normal AoE damage.

Normal attacks are definitely 100% magical damage, about 110-140 with Shell V on.

Seed of Deception = clone (have about 500HP~, one BLU spell was enough to oneshot them).
Seed of Deference = AoE charm (short range, seemed to be less than 14'), lasted about a minute and a half to two minutes.
Seed of Nihility = AoE damage (250-300) + unused JA timers reset to max recast, again about 15' range.
Seed of Judgment = heavy AoE damage (640-780) + all stats down. Not too sure how damage was calculated, was really random between the people it hit and the damage they all took.

Now help me find out a strat that will work on this shit :<

Edit: Forgot to mention that it does have some sort of Regain, not too much but some >.>

What did your blu sub? I'm thinking of subbing drk for an extra stun since shadows are useless it seems.

[Asura_Zilla]

Subbed NIN but now that I think about it that's not a bad idea.

[Reality]

so like, if you wipe and lose the battle, what's required to re-enter? what part of the quest do you have to restart?

[Ratatapa]

the final boss?

The climb and the 12 lights in twoer

[Dein]

Pretty sure they meant the final battle which requires you to reclimb Delkfutt's Tower all over again under the lvl 30 cap BS.

[miokomioko]

so like, if you wipe and lose the battle, what's required to re-enter? what part of the quest do you have to restart?

Re-climbing Delkfutt and getting another Omnis Stone, I believe.

[DAKPluto]

I'm gonna strangle this Moogle....

[Suteru]

Well, I just soloed the key item for the final fight again on my NIN. Monomi + Tonko = Godsend


Hope I can find a group to take on the final boss.

[Isawa]

Just got it to 8% and timed out. PLD/RDM BLM WHM RDM BLU RNG. RNG tears it apart, have to watch hate. BLU can Cannonball for a decent amount as well.

[Tzar]

Just wiped at about 40% with the setup of Blu, Rng, Drk, Rdm, Brd and Whm. We were doing fine until about 50% when Seed of Judgement went off killed 2 people. Keeping only one person in range of the AoEs seems to be the best way to go otherwise mp is used up too fast, only problem is charm as your mages end up getting on the top of the hate list due to the reset in hate and up dying from draw in + AoEs. Wish someone would come up with a solid strategy already!

[Asura_Zilla]

Just went in for third time, our best try as of yet. Setup was PLD/RDM RNG BLU/DRK BLM WHM RDM. Timed out at 7% (because I died and held back while weakened....). Few more notes about the AoEs.

Seed of Deference (charm) can be avoided if you run out of range, which isn't really 10' but seems to be less than that.
Seed of Judgment is 15' range whereabouts, seems to be magical damage too, tank was taking 580-600 damage. Only starts doing that below 50%, apparently.

Another thing I noticed is it will use TP moves even if you're out of range, effectively wasting its TP.

Edit:

Our strat went along the lines of:

PLD/RDM standing against the indent in the wall while holding hate/running back/out of AoE range whenever he got drawn in. Everyone else was standing on ramp RNG shooting (stupid me was shooting inside Judgment range for a while, should TP outside go in to WS) outside 15' range, moderately doing damage. I only went crazy (WS, Barrage, WS, EES) when PLD used Sentinel (try to use JAs as soon as they're up, otherwise they'll most likely be reset by Nihility). BLU didn't really need to come /DRK, as we found out Hasted BLM was more than enough to keep up Stuns for -gaIIIs. Whenever a clone would pop BLU would cannonball and deal with it. RDM and WHM just do their thing <.<... Gonna try again and I'll be damned if I'm not gonna win this thing today.

[Reality]

does this mob draw-in? can't you rng-burn it with some stuns?
