Seeing Blood-red/Strategies

The battle is against a Humanoid-type SCH monster (possible spoilers in the name, so I will avoid that...) with a copious amount of MP. Will 2-hr around 50%hp, using tier-3 magic spells while spamming the AOE Strategem, making them into Area of effect versions of their spells. Will also use Protect III upon himself, and will talk to you throughout the fight. Unable to estimate HP, but is a good few thousand (possibly as high as 10k) as a rough guess. Unsure of his weaknesses, but can easily be duod by a pair of SMN or a WHM and a NIN. (Kirol: Caitsith)

to get my HP below 50% a few times. Hit for 0-10 with no Stoneskin & 30-40 with no Phalanx. (Tezz: Pandemonium)
 * Time limit: 30 minutes.
 * We did this with 75RDM and 75NIN, very easily. He admitted defeat at 25%.
 * Soloed as 75RDM/PLD with Tavnazian Taco, Sigil, Phalanx & typical RDM buffs. After 50% he managed
 * Soloed as 75RDM/37NIN. Resists Silence but other enfeebling spells stuck with no problem. At around 50% watch out for Manifestation of Tier III spells (wipes all shadows) when 2-hr is used. Total time took approximately 20 minutes. (Alucardrakex: Ramuh)


 * Duo'ed by a PLD/NIN and SMN/WHM. Fight took about 15 minutes (around 18 estimated) but no more than 20. Elemental Siphon used twice throughout the fight. (Irukasan-Ragnarök)
