Notes:

• Spawned by trading Giant Bugard Tusk to ??? at (H-6)

• Has a 100% enaero effect on all melee attacks! (40-90 damage)

• Triple attacks, rate increased as HP dropped!

• Susceptible to Slow, Paralyze and Blind.

• Immune to Bind, Gravity and Sleep.

• This NM is similar to Despot in the way when he has 100 TP, he can execute 1-4 abilities.

• Upon using the TP ability Fantod, Alkonost gained a tremendous amount of attack on his next strike(s) (capable of melees hitting up to 1k)

• Fantod stacks with triple attack and will be present on all three hits should his next round be triple.
  • Fantod can be dispelled and is highly recommended as if he uses Fantod first, he will most likely execute more TP abilities and they will be guranteed 1 shotters if land. (Survived this happening twice and only happened twice.)

• During his TP rampage, Alkonost favors the single target ability Back Heel.
  • Back Heel dealt about 600 (+breaking capped stoneskin) to a fully buffed RDM with a Tavnazian Taco. This Back Heel was not influenced with Fantod.
  • Used Back Heel back to back (two attacks) every time. One shadow will consume each Back Heel.
  • Back Heel seems to reset hate regardless of hitting you or a shadow.

• Uses Hoof Volley as another TP move. Not sure if it is absorbed by shadows or not.

• • Hit fully buffed 80PLD/40NIN for 498 damage.

• Can use the TP ability Jettatura, an Aoe fan-shaped terror ability. Can be avoided by not facing Alkonost.
  • Terror effect did not last long, maybe about 10 seconds max.

• It's highly recommended tanks do not face Alkonost to avoid getting hit with Jettatura then being exposed to further TP abilities.
  • Can also avoid this by turning when you see him ready a TP move.

• Runs at very fast enhanced movement speed, comparable to Cactrot Rapido.

• Can be duo'd by two skilled RDM/NIN, both had 3 stones for 90mins worth of abyssea.

• In the event of a wipe, Alkonost will become passive and moves back to his spawn point, depops after 5 seconds upon resetting to his ???.
