Shadows of the Mind

Jotting down some quick information about this ISNM.

Get the Key item from the NPC in Aht Urghan Whitegate for 3000 IS points. No cooldown, so you can do 6 of these at a time, or however many as you want if you have IS points.

Fight is against one Puk class mob called "Phantom Puk"

Does normal puk moves, except it seemed like every 45 seconds he would do this split move where he would gain 6 shadows or so and split into 6 copies of himself all aggroing the current tank. Horde Lullaby worked wonders, and a single Thundaga III would wipe out all of the clones. Thundaga III actually did about triple damage to the clones, doing upwards of 2100 damage (versus 700 unresisted on the main enemy). Very very simple, our party setup was this:

NIN, BST, WHM, BLM, BLM, BRD

The BLM's took turns being the "thundaga" button, which was helpful because of the recast on thundaga.

We were 6 for 6 on this ISNM, notable drops are:

Chocobo Egg - always dropped

Looks like the "big ticket" item has the chance of being one of the following:

Dragon Talon - dropped in 2/6 fights Khroma Ore - dropped in 1/6 fights Behemoth Horn - dropped in 3/6 fights

And the garbage drops: 1 Scroll (Prot4, Shell4, Water4, etc) 1 Puk Wing 1 Attribute Potion (Mind Potion, Agi Potion, etc) 1 Merrow Scale

Sometimes we got a "Magnetic Dagger" which is new to the update. I think we got 2/6 runs to drop one of these.
