Shantotto Ascension

[JustaWAR]

Anyone know where I can goto if I forgot what kind of potion kit I'm supposed to make? It's out of the chat log, nothing in auto trans, and nothing in mission log

Cutscene not fully loading after shadow fight in gustav. contacting GM about it.

Don't have the energy to pretty this up, so interpret it.

Toraimarai Canal: 8 ???s that are lights that look like Seed Afterglows. They're spread out in the zone. One for each element. I think Water Earth and one other were on the 1st map, others on the second map. Look all over for them, they're spread out real good. Each gives you a "sap" key item which we're guessing helps you resist the Astral Flows from the BCNM, since we didnt have too much trouble with those.

Full Moon Fountain BCNM: 8 clones, each has a name which should give you an idea what their element is (Shadows, Flames, Boulders, Gales, Glaciers, Lights, Torrents, Sparks).

Each casts -ga2 (hit for 100-300 without Shell), Tier 4s, AM2s, and single target enfeebles. They use all the fomor moves and don't move very fast. Once they get below 50% or thereabouts they summon their avatar and Astral Flow. Avatar depops after it goes. With all the keyitems on everyone, AF was doing about 200-300 dmg.

One thing to be careful of is initially engaging them, they all nuke right away, so it might be nice to have someone get their attention who can run out of range quickly. Elemental Seal Sleepga works on all but the dark one, who we took out quickly. Then we all just picked up one after another.

Set up was PLD RDM BLU WAR RNG RNG. PLD was in double-digit HP after they cast the first spells. RDM went down pretty early but we held on by kiting them around (very easy, /nin recommended so you can soak up single target spells). I wouldn't recommend having one person kite them all because the # of spells would be hard to handle and you have to change direction in order to keep kiting.

Good luck, we're calling it a night.

I'm not sure, but are you trying to take a pic that worth good zeni (monster at low hp, need to be in front of it and as close as you can)

I just went back and took some at like 5% health and in front like I was doing Zeni. Took 2 more pictures and he still won't take them.

[Shadida]

Oh, and after FMF fight go to Tenshodo, talk to that dude with the goofy outfit, he says something about Sacrificial Chamber.

[Marvis]

About to enter final battle, there were 6 ???s in temple and 10 in rancor den... hope we win don't want to get all those ???s again;;

Is the den of rancor map required to get the ???'s?

[FTAJuicymama]

no

I'm having this same problem at this exact moment. Has your GM contacted you yet?

Only windower is having this problem....so ya you are telling them you are using it pretty much...

Hope you are not getting banned

Confirmed, I got past this by logging in without windower.

[Acorn]

OK SO....


It's kinda hard; we lost. BLM is USELESS

You start out with HP and MP times like 3 and all stats +150 or so

No weakness on death! Going to exploit the shit out of that next time

Spoiler: show

Theres 2 shantottos, a BLM and a DRK (but they both spam AMII anyway) I can't really say which one to kill first because they are both pretty nasty. Can't sleep/stun, not sure about slow/para. Note that even with +250 INT BLM was really useless, i managed to get in one thunder4 for 555; the rest resisted (dont go blm)

Shantotto uses "Divine Malison" which is 500-700 dmg aoe and a bunch of status effects, D. Shantotto uses Salvation Scythe, which is similar. I don't remember the details but im pretty sure both silence you and give disease of some kind

Going to try again Sorry I didn't really get much information

Summary : BLM , no. Reraisers and elixirs , yes

I think this would be pretty easy with a strong mdb tank, we had kind of a bad setup

[Iria]

So we just tried the final battle with Shantotto in Sac chamber.

The 16 ???s to pick up seem to correspond to the following 16 buffs in the battle:

HP x3, MP x3, STR/DEX/VIT/AGI/INT/MND/CHR+150, all elemental resists (except light/dark) +150, and no weakness upon reraise!

As much as this seems crazy its true. And I'm relatively new to this forum so I can't post links yet, but I'll try and add it as an external link.

We lost to the the black Shantotto at 20%, but we are going to retry with a different setup.

Edit: Acorn already stated our results lol

for windower users.. do NOT check the Ensorcelled Door after collecting the 6 fragments from the exclusive immunity NMs.. it will result in the same kind of black screen as after the Tenshodo ninjas battle.

so basically, switch to non-windowed, watch CS, and you're good to go again

Worked for me as well.

Also, figure I'd make this a little easier to spot for the skimmers who might miss it on their first read through like myself.

DON'T USE WINDOWER TO GET THE CUT SCENES AFTER FIGHTING IN GUSTAV TUNNEL AND THE ONE WITH ALDO IN THE TENSHODO. YOU WILL JUST GET A NICE BLACK SCREEN HALFWAY INTO THE CUT SCENE. ALSO DO NOT CHECK THE ENSORCELLED DOOR AFTER COLLECTING THE 6 FRAGMENTS.

5 tries and 500k but I finally made my fuckin kit...

This sucks lol
Hate SE so fkn much right now.
Good night!

Given that this is Sacrificial Chamber, do you have to go through the whole 'unlit lantern' sequence if you don't have a friend on the inside opening the door for you?

If this is true.. Souleater gogo?

How much dmg does Shantotto take.. is it like Kupo's multiplied DMG but with alot of HP?

[Darte]

yea apparently mine was due to a corrupted file. Fixed that and got through Cutscene just fine.
