Going to get my Tachi of Trials soon, was just wondering how hard this NM is. --Eddie 10:24, 11 December 2006 (EST)

Just fought this NM as 71 SAM/DNC. I had a 75 NIN/WAR duoing with me. I was using soboro, and obviously the NIN was tanking. There were no real scary moments. Another group had cleared the goblin and raptor that share the room while we were preparing, and we killed it before repops came. Overall, pretty easy. Did start the fight with 300% tp, and WS'd only when Meditate or Sekkanoki were available, because the NM does hit hard. -- Taomage 19:18, 8 October 2008 (EST)

Misleading Testimonials

 * I just added the bit about not being deceived by the testimonials. Me and a friend were bored and I needed to fight this NM for Kasha (72SAM), so I looked at wiki and figured me and a 75PUP/DNC friend with WHM Automaton could take it. (Sure, it gives high damage, but we can probably take it down, right?)  Lo and behold, it doesn't say on the page that the beetle takes nearly NO damage from normal hits, and takes severely nerfed damage from weapon skills.  As a result, both of us were at about 500/1400 HP VERY quickly.  The only reason we survived was because I /sh for help and a 75NIN and SAM allied almost instantly.  BE VERY CAREFUL fighting this NM.
