Additional Tips
A PLD can tank this fight easily; the low damage and high rate of attack by the Chigoe builds TP from Shield Mastery at an extremely fast pace. The damage reduction on Sentinel reduces the hits of the Chigoe to an average of under 10 damage. A 70+ PLD and a healer can easily duo this fight.

A 75 RDM/BLM can solo this NM by simply using Gravity, Sleep, and Bind to kite it then nuke away at it. In short: Kite and nuke and thats it.

A 72+ BST can solo this as well, use the nearby spiders and be ready for multiple pet swaps. Have Blink and Stoneskin up at all times, or if you're /NIN keep shadows up constantly on pet swaps. Don't engage at all until Chigoe has barely any HP left. Alternatively you can familiar a crawler (lvl 72-74) from across the map and it can take it out solo.

A 75 MNK can duo this with a mage job, using counterstance the NM rarely hits and kills itself, Asuran Fists knocks it down more than 50%.

A SMN70+ can solo or Duo this with a Phys Job. Kiting room will be needed if solo'd. Fenrir works best do to the chigoe's hi rate of evasion. Eclipse Bite deals about 50% unmeritted.

A 75 BLM/RDM with solo this NM with 3 tier II Ancient Magic Spells(via merits) and manafront up by 1st buffing with stoneskin, blink, and Phalanx. As soon as the mob pops use stun>Sleep and once asleep use gravity. Then proceed to use your tier II ancient magic.(I Opened with Freeze II on icesday) Then sleep and and cast again and repeat til no MP is left then use manafront to finish him off. NOTE: you can rest in between sleeps, but his resitant increases each time so not much MP can be regained. Also, this is just what I used, perhaps it could be solo'd using Tier IV magic.
