Abyssea - Tahrongi Discussion

[Kidnoftle]

Tad of a update on Iratham. Went scanning through the area that the JPs killed it and couldn't find a body. I assume that this could mean that its been fought again and is either a variable pop spot across the map or for some reason they dragged it really far away from its orig pop spot.

[ejiboo]

i wondered through tahrongi and looks like iratham is still dead around where goodspeed killed it. near the mandies.

dunno it's poped there or they pulled there.

[Fievel]

Ask em about any pop info at all by chance?

[ejiboo]

i was in tahrongi again today and saw him up, but underground. so obvi not dead and ready to be triggered. no idea. mandy area.

[Kidnoftle]

Hm, that's strange. Couldn't find the corpse yesterday and I looked all through that area. Meh, makes more sense that I fucked up tho.

[Spira]

If people had been killing it I would have been able to find a grave though right? I'm heading over to check again but I really don't think it's there yet. All of the endgame LS I've talked to haven't touched it either.

Edit: Definitely not on widescan either.

its possible your server just hasnt popped him yet? I think a few servers have yet to pop Myrmecoleon.. but because we never figured out like how to it never occurred to us to try.

someone try this? lol

[Karbuncle]

Sooo... Kill or Drag Mananangal to H=-8 =(?

My bad translation skills are a bit off =.=

Neither worked for us, Pulled and killed directly on top of where iratham was on radar but nothing.

[Salmijr]

Tried to pull it on blm, raped my face, took 1 hit to eat my manawall, next hit was for 1200+

Was the Iratham on your radar alive, or simply the deathspot?

[itskguys]

It was red so it wasn't a deathspot, wasn't moving though so maybe just despawn though?

I pulled Mananggal fine on BLM w/ gaiters just need to stun as often as possible, the last part in open space is harder though because he'll pathe better.

[Alistrianna]

Has any server experienced Myrmecoleon not popping yet? I ran around the other day with radar up and saw nothing in the entire southern portion of the map. After that, I even dragged Lachyrmater around and nothing. It is supposed to pop in the general area of the empty mobs, right?

Alexander doesn't have Myrmecoleon up either.

[ejiboo]

i'm pretty sure you wouldn't have to pull something on top of iratham for the simple fact that there's no indication iratham is there. we only know it is because of 3rd party tools. i'm sure he is a free pop triggered by something else. reason i think this is because we can see fistule... we can see myrmecoleon on widescan... we can see quetzalli if we catch him... we can see the ironclads so obvisouly there is some way to aggro them. there is no iratham anywhere - he's under the ground and according to SE we'd never know.

there has to be a trigger somewhere in the zone, time frame, etc. i wanted to think that you had to aggro him because of the description of caturae IRL. i'm pretty sure goodspeed and his crew either got super lucky or decided to just jp button it. another idea... they were most likely spamming chloris in that area. only one way to find out; bring chloris over, but i highly doubt an NM popped with key items would pop another NM.

that bog body quest could be the steez. activity in the zone could be it, through quests or just killing nms in general.

[Aihree]

Carbuncle's Myrmecoleon hasn't popped either. Right when he started popping on other servers, Scars released, and activities in Tahrongi ground to a halt except for corpselight parties.

[Kidnoftle]

Possible. I got a response out of goodspeed today and he just said it was basically up and they tripped, fell, and killed it. I tried asking in broken jp/auto trans what his activity in the zone was but couldn't get much. I can say that he said he was not killing manan prior to it. Thorny also pointed out that he would probably would of seen Iratham if it was correlated to manan since he apparently used to spam it so I guess we can exclude that pop condition for the time being.

At this point I guess all we can say for sure is that it doesn't have any gimmick that is like fistule and myrma.

[Thorny]

Iratham was up at H-8, wandering. 4 minutes later it depopped, before I could get to it. Observed a bit after 0:00 Watersday, depopped at 2:00 2/29/1109 71% waning gibbous.. only 6 people in the zone at the time and I talked to all of them. One killing Bhumi, 2 killing Cuelebre, rest doing quests.

[Kirschy]

For what it's worth, I watched Sippoy pop and depop 6:00 - 8:00 on Windsay in Vunk. (Robot had been dead ~20 minutes prior and was not up.) I'm curious if all the Caturae have some kind of similar spawn pattern. Thorny seeing Iratham depop at 2:00, and my own two accounts of seeing an un-aggro'd Caturae depop as a new game hour turned makes me feel there's a connection.

[Guitarman]

would also explain yaanei's strange behavior, some seeing him after ironclad is dead, some seeing with ironclad still up. Even If these are 5-10 minute windows of opportunity, i'm surpised there wasn't more sightings of Iratham.

[Thorny]

I'm gonna guess there's still a requirement for Iratham to initially pop(gunpowder flask garbage quest?). All sightings have been on Leviathan so far, other servers probably don't have him yet.
