Abyssea - Vunkerl Discussion

FUUUUUUUUCK that Ironclad Executioner.
That shit needs to be kept killed constantly.

It's like 2004 Marchelute Valkurm all over again.

It's a good thing he drops Dalmy +2 right? The fight itself was not difficult. You can easily pin it and kite around that tree stump or w/e it is in the center of encampment near bastion Martello. Arm Cannon has a range roughly of 22' as someone has mentioned and can easily be outrun. It's every attack is an aoe. I'm talking normal swings. Either that or he multi-hits, because shadows were stripped instantly. It also has very strange hate, as it nearly killed a few people who were just passing by and got too close to it, who had absolutely 0 hate on NM. Happy hunting!

When kiting the Attohwa giant, I noticed he would stop and swing even if I was not in range, so it's entirely likely he's aiming at you and they got caught in the line of fire since his attacks are conal/aoe/something.

guys any idia about Slaughterous Smilodon pop? or is still unknow like tomberries in Konskat?

[Heie]

Just found a way to make Aqua Puraga go faster to save some time. When you head back to high bear and he asks you what you discovered. He always asks the same questions in three different groups. The grouping is always one waterglass for all three answers. So you can get the quest done with only visiting 1-2 waterglasses. I don't remeber all the answers but like. The Giant footprint and yellow powder is always the north waterglass. Gunpowder and rain drops are always the middle one. Stench and foul fruit is always the south one. So if you go check a waterglass then go back to high bear and you are lucky he could ask you for the waterglass you were just at. If it isn't the one you went to. From the questions he ask you can figure out exactly what other waterglass it is without ever having to visit the last waterglass.

[Maxwell]

Walks slow as hell.

[Ryolen13]

still no tigers; ; this is gettign annoying w

[Thalandor46]

Anyone able to confirm is the whisker is consumed or not after the maintenance? Wasn't mentioned in the update notes, but they did mention the lily quest. Figure couldn't hurt to double check.

[Jeryhn]

Rahal specifically mentions you can keep the whisker in his award text, so I'm guessing you keep it.

[Thalandor46]

Ah, my bad, glossed over the actual quest text. Thanks

[Dooom]

Walks slow as hell.

Yeah, I got aggro from it earlier while doing quests and easily out-ran it, my first thought was "this is begging to be kited and killed".

[Snick]

The Vunkerl giant did that too. Think it just attacks whenever, and anything that's in its range gets hit. Even if its nothing.

Sword swings were doing Enstun and foot stomps were doing Enamnesia. Neither lasted long, both had a little bit of knockback.

I really don't see the issue. It isn't a hard kill by any means.

[Ryolen13]

whats the respawn timers of the giants? and u think a pup(blm frame) smn blmx2 group can kill with ease?

any word on tigers yet? XD

[Fievel]

I really don't see the issue. It isn't a hard kill by any means.

^ This

We did last night with BLM BLM BLU, fight was easy as hell and took about 30min(can be done much quicker). With shantotto atma he's ridiculously easy to kite and Water 5 was doing in the 1700's(3%-4%ish)

Could easily solo even, just would take some time.
