The NM has tons of HP and deals serious damage. I won my second try with this setup:

Tanks: Trust: August and Trust: Valaineral Healers: Trust: Mihli Aliapoh and Trust: Kupipi Support: Trust: Arciela Offensive Caster: Trust: Ullegore Avatar: level 121 Ifrit with 5/5 Meteor Strike merits and Eminent Pole macroed for magical pacts; 11 blood pact damage job points Job: level 118 SMN/WHM

I hit Apogee, Assault (Command), and then the NM aggroed and Ingrid ran in. I whacked the NM once with Nirvana (119) to engage all my trusts, then I pulled back without disengaging. I did two Meteor Strikes, waited for next blood pact to be available, then did Astral Flow, Inferno, Astral Conduit, a buttload of Meteor Strikes, Elemental Siphon, resummoned Ifrit, Mana Cede, Meteor Strike, Divine Seal, Cure IV Ingrid (who had about 50% HP). I dropped a Curaga II on my trusts at one point near the end. It was a trust or Ingrid who dealt the final blow. The NM seems to have 100K HP or so, but that's a very rough estimate. Meteor Strike did outdamage the strongest physical blood pact (Volt Strike), even when Dia II was set before Volt Strike.

Two healers and two tanks were absolutely needed. When I tried just one each, my trusts were annihilated near the end of the fight right before Ingrid died. On my first attempt, which was focused on Ramuh and Volt Strike with just Trust: August and Trust: Karaha-Baruha for tanks/heals, all my trusts were killed and so was Ingrid with the NM at about 20% HP left. --Blue Donkey Kong (talk) 17:50, December 30, 2015 (UTC)
