 * Can be defeated by a party of 4 characters at level 70;
 * Duoable by a Ninja and White Mage at level 75;
 * Soloable by Red Mage at level 75 and Summoner at level 70
 * 75RDM/NIN can solo easily by DoT/Bind/Grav method. Battle lasted ~ 40 minutes but never     seemed to build a resistance to Gravity or Bind the whole battle, just be mindful you will get intimidated...a lot.
 * Soloable by White Mage with Red Mage sub using Repose and Banish III. Try to keep it gravitied and use bind when you need to. Repose will give you enough time to heal a couple ticks but mind your surroundings and make sure you don't aggro anything. Probably do-able with Black Mage sub but Fast Cast definitely helps especially if you get intimidated and its breathing down your neck. Took me about 2 hours and a half.

well, this looks copied word-for-word from somepage.com, except that sompage says "Additional effect: Terror" which might be more like it. Aggressive yes.. links with what? :P

Helm is not 100% drop, as some have rumored. Petro Eyes seems to land even if you turn away while tanking. Biast's accuracy is horrible, and a good Blind will help alot.


 * The article does not state that the helm was a 100% drop. --Charitwo 17:52, 3 May 2007 (CDT)

Repop time
The current wording on his repop is extremely confusing. Is it supposed to mean every 69-72 hours from time of death? Or 21-72 hour window? If anyone's got any info on clarifying that it'd be appreciated, but I'll likely change it to 69-72 hours if no one has any objections. Pogle 15:38, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

Ask Hawkhellfire what he meant when he changed it, because it was originally "Spawns around (H-9) almost immediately after the Shadow Dragon is killed, every 21-24 hours," which I believe is the correct information. I'd sooner revert his edit than change it to what could be false or misunderstood information. ~ Karuberu 18:13, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

The only thing I can say with certainty is I've seen it go longer than 24 hours on a repop. I've never managed to pop it again after killing it, I've usually had to give up and do other stuff after 30+ hours. Thus my assumption on the 69-72 issue. Then again it could just be an open window anytime after 21 hours. Pogle 07:17, 21 August 2007 (CDT)
