Which map of garlaige does Hazmat spawn on? And it is it lottery or timed?

He's in the underground dirt area past the first gate, next to the other bombs/droma.

[keriam]

For any who care, we managed to finally get Barbaric Weapon to pop. Did killing weapons at other spines in Xarcabard have an affect, or was it just coincidence? Either way, it took 6+ hours. :/

My gf is convinced it's a lottery spawn. Me, I have no idea.

0/2.

Has anyone killed this yet? At this point, I'm betting it drops Thrakon breastplate

Not that it's really evidence, but Thrakon is a Greek word for dragon; and this is the only NM that's sort of a dragon that doesn't have a confirmed drop. Of course the name could easily just be referring to the fact that it's worn by Dragoons, but it's the best I could come up with.

more notes on Scylla:

- Aqua Cannon is water damage, knockback, & silence (cannot be removed with Echo's or silena. actually seems to work like Doom and may take multiple tries to remove.)
- Heavy resistance to Souleater, just like AV. So Drk zerg is out of the question.

we'll figure a strat for this mob one of these days.

It's extremely easy. We 6-manned it to 50% (died, because I wasn't 100% sure how it worked prior to this, so our setup was a tad off, with the below strategy being just a theory at the time).

Basically, when it uses Aqua Cannon and Frozen Mist (I believe these are the two), it will rotate a lottttttttt of weaponskills (Aqua Cannon -> Hydra Wave spam & Mist -> Guillotine spam), stunning will stop this rotation.

We went with a bit odd setup of DRK/NIN SAM/THF SCH/RDM WHM/SCH RDM/WHM and my 2-boxed BRD. What ended up killing me (the DRK tank), was a Frozen Mist, which lowered my HP, and then Guillotine spam, which rendered me unable to stun it and stop the rotation. Guillotine's paralyze added with it's 20%ish intimidation rate makes it hard for the tank to stun it, once it's started spamming, so I'll suggest having someone else do that (next time we're bringing RDM/DRK instead of RDM/WHM).

But yeah, super easy fight actually. He doesn't hit fast and his spells are pathetic.


Edit: It doesn't have Regain by the way, which makes it even more of a joke.

Great info if correct, going to go get slaughtered by it duo :<

Great info if correct, going to go get slaughtered by it duo :<

I don't see why it wouldn't be doable with RDM/NIN and BRD/DRK, honestly. Just got to avoid the adds.

Edit: Eh, I guess a lot of setups could work actually. /DRK landed fine yesterday as THF main on my other alt, so if you can land Hojo on NIN/DNC, I guess NIN + BRD would be faster, but a tad less safe.

[Suiram]

That's interesting to know about the stun thing. Even without it, it's still fairly easy. When he goes into his ice mode and spams the HP-down WS, that's all he'll do, and it doesn't do enough damage to kill a PLD from the 800ish HP, so if you just cure them back up after each use and then erase HP down when he goes back to normal mode. (Although I guess this isn't important now since you can just stun it lol)

One tank, a few support, and 1~2 blms can take him down in like 10~15min (maybe less, who knows, I've only fought him twice).

The one time that I found Barbaric Weapon and killed it, it popped shortly after killing Cursed Weapons by the spine area.(I-8?) I spent quite a bit of time around the area killing Duke Focalor, Likho in Castle Zvahl and never noticed it up. I highly doubt it is a timed spawn. Did find Barbaric Weapon in the NW corner of G-8 though, when I got it.

[6souls]

The furthest we've gotten it to so far is 40%, try before DRK zerg, before all hell broke loose. I'm sure we'll get things working soon enough.

Spent some more time this evening trying to pop Drumskull without much luck. The dat for the spawns near him looks like this:

Champion
Dragonbrander
Veteran
Drumskull Zogdregg
Champion
Dragonbrander
Dragonbrander
Protector
Champion
Protector

The three above Drumskull spawn in (J-10) and the rest spawn farther south in (J-11). I don't know how practical this is going to be for a single person to try and spawn. As SCH/RDM I can only take down 2 on an MP pool and by the time I'm ready to start again one of the 2 has respawned so it's slow going. Also got myself killed when I moved south to try my luck there and a PLD resisted sleep a bunch. It might be smarter to bring a small party there to try and clear them out faster/safer. Going to give this a go again tomorrow to see if i can figure out which is actually the PH unless someone else manages to before me.

Killed J-10 ones for an hour, no pop.

[HarrisBanks]

Has anyone gotten a drop off Hazmat in Garlaige Citadel? Also, its lotto off the Explosures in the basement past the 1st gate, correct?

Edit: Found info, disregard sorry.

[Thorny]

Not sure if this is common knowledge, but Scylla depops if ice weather ends. I was waiting on a friend to engage and it disappeared on us :S

Currently waiting to see if it repops on weather or timer resets, gut tells me it's the latter which sucks if it's a long pop >_<

[Daiiawn]

Still camping Barbaric Weapon, but no pop. No Cursed Weapons here anymore, either. Only had the one, and when I killed it a second time, it never came back.

This has me thinking... could this be like Panzer Percival in Jugner Forest? The mobs haven't come back, so maybe they're spawned at one of the other weapon spawn points in Xarcabard. If that's the case, maybe whoever put that this is a timed spawn on ffxiclopedia thought that because they couldn't see the PH killed at a different location.

Just a thought, because on my server, there's been very little activity in Xarcabard in the last couple of hours.... and its about 5 and a half hours now since the last sighting of Barbaric Weapon. That could also explain why there have been virtually no Cursed Weapon spawns here.

My girlfriend is going to go clear out the weapons at other spots in Xarcabard, so we'll see if that causes some to pop back here. Of course, if the NM pops, that could just be a coincidence.

EDIT: Gf confirmed it. These Cursed Weapons do appear to spawn at random 'spines' in Xarcabard. It looks like maybe only three up at a time? She only saw 3, killed them, and no respawns at me... but on the 2nd round of kills, one of them popped at G-8.

EDIT: Actually, looks like 4 of the weapons are up, not 3.

Xarc has 8 cursed weapons in the dats, however only 4 will be up at any one time. Each weapon is a shared spawn with another, so odds are if there are non up where the nm pops, there will be some up else where. No idea which ones share with each other atm or which if any the PH for BW is.

I noticed there was discussion about Bloodbead Gorget several pages back. Here's a screenshot of it dropping: http://i35.tinypic.com/x92x5.jpg

[Thorny]

disregard, apparently some tool snuck past us with invis on and aggroed it trying to fish in the pond ... he just wandered back and started trying to fish again -___-

[Wheeldog]

Just spotted Humbaba in the glaicer at G-10 this is alot farther then my last kill at J-8, leading me to believe he can pop anywhere with other gigas'.

Anyway, Marquis Sabnock can be solo'd NIN/DNC, considering I just did it.

Fight's ridiculously easy. Save up 300% TP, kill the Ahriman, and pull Sabnock to the ledge, so you don't aggro the eye once it repops. It didn't repop until a few minutes after I killed Sabnock, so... its up to you whether you want to pull it all the way back or not.

My evasion gear isn't that shiny, at all. It consists of Ohat, SH, Boxer's, Scouter's, Prf. Gloves, Evasion Torque, and Ungurang. D:

The main obstacle is Quadrastrike, which is easy as fuck to evade. If you use Distance, you can stand 4.3 yalms away from Marquis before it starts to move towards you. Use this as an advantage. Since all Marquis does is use Quadrastrike whenever it has TP, you don't even have to pay attention to your log. As soon as it starts readying a WS, just run away.

It did Quadrastrike a total of 2 times, and the first time was because Uryuu was sending me tells but anyway, GL. 0/3 on this fucker >_> and it took me 5 hours to pop it.

I tried this but everyone else started standing behind me to block my path once they figured out what I was doing, got it to 30% before a nicely timed Quadrastrike took off 800 HP and killed me.

More info!

What more info do you need exactly? Strat was discussed on last page. His position is on wiki.

Edit: Aaand yeah, you edited.
