Notes:

  • Spawned by trading a Trophy Shield to the ??? at D-4 at the north end of the valley populated by Bathyal Gigas, around the corner and out of sight of the mobs.
  • He can spawn in 2 versions, NQ and HQ just like T3 VNM!
  • NQ has no shadow, no enspell effect and low Double Attack Rate. Does not drop the Key item but does have regular drops.
  • HQ has a shadow, enspell and very high Double Attack Rate. Drops the Key Item.
  • If you wipe he moves back to his spawn and begins to regen. Got it down to 50% before wiping and it regened to 70% then despawned. The ??? despawns after he is gone and doesn't come back until 5 minutes (roughly) later.
  • Used Standard Gigas moves, Also had an Auto EnSpell effect. He strongly favors Grand Slam using it 3 times in rapid succession around 30%.
  • The aforementioned effect could possibly be triggered by 2hr, our group did not notice any added damage until the NM was at 50% or lower.
  • Head Butt has low rate of landing, Temporal Shift landed 100% Frypan and Tail Slap were ineffective.
  • Has a high (90%) Double Attack rate.
  • Appears to be highly resistant to elemental magic - MB'd Thunder IVs of less than 200 have been reported. Magical Stun seems to be easily resisted as well. Could have naturally high Lightning resistance.
  • Possibly immune to Slow and Gravity - Slow II from multiple RDM missed every time. No apparent resistance to Blind or Paralyze, though paralyze proc rate is suspect.
  • Grand Slam powerful enough to potentially one-shot any mages caught in the blast.

Hystorical background
