Shooting Down the Baron/Strategy

Use a 4 person party setup. One of the party members must be a BST, SMN, or a /SMN. CourierCarrie or Carbuncle is very helpful in tracking down the Baron once it starts running, as you only have to do is to follow the pet. Another member should be a BLM or RDM/BLM for sleepga

After entering, drop down bridge, and the DD should be building up TP on one of the pugils (but only one pugil, all others should be slept and ran away from). Once Baron is found and engaged, the melee should use TP and offensive job abilities as soon as they can. Baron will run away around 50% and 25%. Once it runs away, follow the pet and sleep any pugils that are in the way.

If time is low, you should have one of the party members head towards the rune of release. The big issue is finding the Baron, not killing the Baron.
