spams sleep move, poison pots are a must

Lol no, don't be idiots and just have your mage(s) stand '15 away from it. It has perma triple-attack, uses AoE sleep twice in a row when it gets TP, didn't seem to have regain from what I gathered. Paralyze was VERY potent on it.

Easy as shit. Dropped a "Strength" one for us.

[Pesan]

Acolnahuacatl - Yhoater Jungle F/G-10 Coeurl NM

Tried fighting with Bst, not the greatest job for it. Can Triple Attack and at about a 33% rate. hits for only about 100-150 but has Additional effect: stun can proc upon landing a hit. Seems to do no other TP move except Chaotic Eye. Changin up to rdm, bringing echo drops and seeing how well i can do then.

Edit: forgot to put how much he hits for haha

[Cail]

Killer Jonny in Terrigan...Cockatrice hits hard on a pld/dnc w/ haut, 160-240, hits fast too

Shit's actually surprisingly easy. I was THF/RNG, friend WHM/SCH. Had no difficulty, but the enstun got annoying after a while.

[Yinnyth]

Oupire (Alzadaal vampire) respawned approximately 4-5.5 hours after we killed him. I would wager all the NMs have a respawn time somewhere around this.

Edit: Well... maybe all the HNM ones, anyways ._.

[cycl]

Well, the family-types for Belladona spawn all up and down the ledge. I found it on BLM fairly far south, came back as BST to kill and it was much further up north (practically at the campaign warp point). So its location may vary from initial reports.

[Fugg]

Just found this [Worm NM] in North gustaburg {s} No drop.

got Poppet katars from your worm there

[Despain]

Few observations I've made from these NMs.

1) Aura Steal does NOT seem to work on any of them.

2) Ones that can cast spells can't get interrupted, unless you can stun them... I've yet to test this.

3) Vary in difficulty. Some hit as hard as a truck, while some can't even land a punch. Where they pop doesn't seem to be an accurate way to gauge their strength.

yea the stun was the most annoying part. Got it to 50% before running away. No decent lvl mobs around there to hold it while between jug timers. But he was fun to test out knowing pretty much nothing

You had 2 PLDs, as you say. Keep them out of AoE and cure your DDs when it AoE sleeps.

Poison pots is a waste.

[Demitrius]

Just found a doll mob in lower Delkfultt, first floor, named Tyrant. Kasha did about 25%, then my group showed up and nuked the living hell out of it. No drop.

tried again pld/nin rdm/whm yea, no enfeebs landed, and we lasted all of 1min, only cuz of sentinel

pretty easy trio with pld/nin rdm/whm and sam/nin. The end he seems to have auto-tp and spams earthshatter or something which wipes shadows and does 300-600dmg, but he's easy enough to kite

[Tyrath]

We just died to Marquis Sabnock as a Nin + drk at 13%. He didn't despawn like everything else though.

[shepardG]

Just got done trying to figure out the skeleton scuffler, and holey horror. Sanctiuary of zi'tah, Undead so they only spawn at night, and despawn by 4ish.
Skeleton weak to blunt, immune to everything else, holey immune to everything but piercing.

Multiple ones pop, and have a tendancy to de-spawn with the message "The <t> fades away into nothingness" Killed 3 skellys after me and my rdm buddy swapped mobs lmao. Formless strikes does nothing to holey, still hit for zero. couldn't get enough Piercing dmg from a rdm with a joy toy to keep it from despawning.

Also, re-pop time on belladonna has been reported by some friends to be 1 hr 15min's ish, and it's lottery supposedly. I'd imagine it's probably 1hr, and then lottery from there.

[Anomander]

Been camping Belladonna for 2 hours now. No pops. WTF

/shrug my 2 hours was a guess. I've now seen it spawn 2 hours after kill twice. It's possible it is something like 2-4 hours and Seraph got lucky (not me, never claimed).

[Pesan]

Did Acolnahuacatl this time on rdm/nin with NPC.

Sleep/grav/bind all resisted. Slow II had variable degrees of success and Para II landed no problem. blind was also pretty easy to land and made the fight much much easier. Just kept shadows up and used echoes when it used Chaotic Eye. Not the hardest fight in the world but the triple attack along with enstun did make it annoying.

Dropped nothin for me

Holey Horror and the Skeleton seem to be immune to all Piercing/Blunt BPs.

[Mots]

Just killed Powderer Penny in Yhoator Jungle. Droped Chary Earring.
