It isn't immune to stun, don't know if it builds resistance.

Thanks. Is gorge/disgorge damage even? If so, will damage avoided by stoneskin be reduced from the total? That sounds like a stupid question as I type it, but rather ask than assume.

[Zephirian]

Minhocao is stunnable, didn't seem to build resistance after a 30 min fight. Gorge/Disgorge stunnable too.

[Xanthe]

Is Minhocao immune to stun? If not, can gorge/disgorge be stunned at all? Even if it just delays it from using the attack for the duration of stun?

It's stunnable, but Disgorge doesn't show up in the chat log. You have to watch for the animation.

Nice to know. Better chance of stunning disgorge than gorge?

[ronin sparthos]

Disgorge will always follow Gorge so as soon as Gorge goes off be ready to stun Disgorge as soon as the wind up begins.

I have seen situations where it'll attempt to Disgorge again but more likely than not it will use something else.

[Xanthe]

Yeah you'd ideally stun Gorge, but in the event you miss that you need to follow through like Ronin said.

It does. >.>

Does anyone have any strats or suggestions for a lowman fight against Mictlantecuhtli? Any information on hp estimation, regen, regain, resistances to enfeebles/nukes would be welcomed.

[Prim]

Minhocao does build resistance to stun eventually. Killed it the other day with 6 and it took a long time, about 40 minutes. Around the 30 minute mark it started resisting every stun we threw at it. We had 3 BLMs so stuns were being used liberally throughout the fight which probably accounted for the resists. If you only have 1 or 2 stunners you probably won't see any noticable resists on it.

[NynJa]

Bust out an xp session in Nauls, and any other mob type that seem useless?

How did anyone duo Minhocao on RDM/NIN?!??!

I tried it yesterday and even with movement speed gear on - the Sandworm NM catched up to me pretty quickly so it also had enhanced movement speed.

it moves close to fleespeed i observed when pulling it on THF.

He will also start spam Gorge when he gets low on Health. He did this the other day, and it was a bitch to finish him off.

I'm still working out my 7-man strat. What's the smallest group that anyone has beat Minhocao with?

I've won very easily with PLD SAM RDM WHM BRD THF.

[krizz]

I've won very easily with PLD SAM RDM WHM BRD THF.

That's very reassuring. Anything in particular to note with that setup that hasn't been stated before?

[Eliane]

Just a quick question, roughly how many times does Cannered Noz reraise? It is similar to Ix'DRK? (Apart from the increase in strength of CN)

[Skeelo]

I've won very easily with PLD SAM RDM WHM BRD THF.

Do you think the pld could be replaced with a mnk? If not, what are some things that would prevent mnk from doing it? just curious

[Mokou]

I can't confirm this with first hand information, but apparently the ??? that requires overgrown mandragora flower and chipped sandworm tooth pops Lacovie, an Adamantoise type NM (which makes sense with its placement) which drops:
