Talk:A Nation on the Brink

Attempted this fight as THF75/NIN37 and RDM75/WHM37, just to see what it was like. There's 3 squads of NPCs at the start, who, after awhile, will run off in different directions. The Windurstian NPCs encounter some Yagudos, the San d'Orian NPCs encounter Orcs, and the Bastokan NPCs encounter Quadavs. There's several (about 5-6?) of each type of beastmen, all fairly weak. The NPCs can take them out without any assistance, though of course helping them out speeds things up, and keeping them alive helps out later. After all the beastmen in the group the encounter are dead, they'll hang around for a bit before moving off to encounter another group, similarly sized and equally weak (though immune to sleep, as far as we could tell).

After all these are gone, assuming the NPCs are still alive, they'll give you some temp items (we got Dusty Potion, Dusty Ether, and Instant Reraise), then head off to the center of the map (where you start), where One-Eyed Gwajboj will be waiting. He's the main NM, and isn't weak like the others. He has decently high defense (being a PLD mob), and hits fairly hard (~280-300 non-critical hits to a 75THF/NIN with Protect II). Interestingly enough, you don't lose the BC if all the NPCs die; they are just there to help you out. The NPCs don't seem to do anything but physically attack and use WSs. We ended up dying (shortly after the NPCs) with the NM at about 80%. I'd say that a healer or two, a tank, and a DD or two could make short work of this BC, assuming that the NM is the end of it. --Kyrie 03:03, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
