I've seen a Dnc/nin solo it and a Thf solo it, so I'm pretty sure it's duoable.

I know this fuckhead is banned, but really why post such retarded info. 2boxing two rdm's (one /drk and one because all she has is rdm), my 3box was mostly reliant on luck. I highly doubt a thf can solo it in any legitimate manner. Damnation Dive takes anywhere from 1-3 shadows, and if it lands, you're silenced for ~30 seconds. Unless you plan to kite it around...oh wait it stuns you when it lands. THF evasion is nice, but its not flawless.


Having said that, a duo is definitely possible. When I was doing it, I'd use thf/nin, rdm/drk (to stun dives, and debuffs) and rdm/blm (curebitch, haste). I'd use the rdm/drk to nuke, and both the rdm's to try to find the grellow !!. I could probably duo it without the spare RDM, but it would take a lot longer.

I would usually agree that anything neo says should be ignored but I have seen it being soloed by a pretty mediocore jp thf/nin, I didn't stay to watch the whole fight but the NM was at 40% when I left.

[NynJa]

I'm sure its doable...but you're going to have to be incredibly reliant on luck, and hope you have a good stack of spare potions. I've put up fresh Ni, and had Damnation Dive strip all 3 shadows, and leave me stunned, and silenced. Shit sucks. But I've also had Damnation Dive strip my last shadow, and then miss.

If DD lands, I dont see why you cant kite it around for 30 sec after stun wears (hope it didnt kill you while you were stunned), get shadows up then use potions. But to chalk it up as "an easy solo" is LOL at best.

[Carraway]

Strat for the Orobon(Zone boss)? I'm assuming nuke/kite?

You can treat it like the normal Orobon NM if you like and manaburn it. Or put two tanks on it and have the bulk of your damage come from ranged sources. Or you can just do it straight-up with at least two melee DD tanks -- really, as long as your mages are on the ball, you're not in any real danger until it starts Deathgnashing, and even then, a Cure V and a few shadows will keep a melee DD alive long enough to stabilize.

Our DNC solos that bird while we farm TE lol

LOL at NynJa as it is an easy solo...he killed like 4 times without a single death while we were farming at lizards.

[Kukuk]

Any1 know Kutharei's pop conditions? I have yet to ever see him up or scan him on widescan.

[Manf]

In a related question to above, he spawns behind the gate behind conflux #7? Or am I not looking in the right place? I've yet to see it either.

[carmancilla]

Correct. Guessing its a 30-90min repop?

[Kukuk]

Considering i saw him up underground or hidden at 100% hp using apradar leads me to believe he can possibly depop? Or has certain spawn conditions after death.

[Arthur]

Has anyone fought the Observers(Spheroids)? Looking to know if they spawn anything after a while..and what lights they give. Agroing and kiting for a bit didnt cause anything but want to be sure!

They don't spawn anything but they give all lights including ruby.

[Spira]

The nm for observers is popped so no worries on spawning stuff..
No idea how they're like to fight tho

[Karbuncle]

I think he meant spawning in regards to how the ones in Sky pop Dolls.

They don't.

Anybody have a link to an updated map for this zone that show's where all the maw's are.. or even just a list of the <pos>'s

Kinda like pchan used to solo 30k/hr on imps.

Wait you said DNC, not thf, who have an endless supply of cures, a rather reliable stun on 20 sec recast, ability to gravity...etcetc

[Bumbles]

Looking for info on Amhuluk was wondering if this thing can be done with under 8 or if i need a full alliance.

I'd suggest having 10 to be safe, since it can be pretty damaging if your party isn't experianced with amphitere NMs

So, I went to solo the Tier 2 VNM today. He's a bastard. Definitely soloable, but I can't imagine it'd be time efficient. Anyone else have experiences with this guy?

Here's what I've got:
* Casts Shell V, Prot V, and Haste on himself.
* Casts Tier 4 -agas on you.
* Actinic Burst gives him a few shadows (idk how many, I Diaga'd every time)
* Can be Poisoned, Bio'd, Slowed, Para'd, and Addled for sure. Stun probably also works.
* Obviously the more useful enfeebling magic (Silence/Grav/Bind/Sleep) doesn't work.
* 100% DA rate.
* He doesn't have -50% magic damage taken, but he does have the original Ghrah MDT/MDB combination I'd bet. Previous poster probably never dispelled Shell.
* Hexidiscs gives a boost in attack speed, I think.
* Normal movement speed

He's basically just a bitch. Popped him in the clusters and pulled him through the detectors and then bats to the birds. Need somewhere you can Diaga to get rid of those shadows, so the tunnel by birds works well. This is really not a friendly mob though. I'd recommend a duo at least so one guy can be nuking while the other is running from -aga IV.
