Historical Background

The Alkonost is a legendary bird in Slavic mythology. It has the body of a bird with the head and chest of a woman. The name Alkonost came from the name of Greek demi-goddess Alcyone transformed by gods into a kingfisher. The Alkonost reproduces by laying eggs on the sea-shore then putting them into the water. The sea is then calm for six or seven days at which point the eggs hatch, bringing a storm. For the Russian Orthodox Church Alkonost personifies God's will. She lives in paradise but goes into our world to deliver a message. Her voice is so sweet that anybody hearing it can forget everything.

-:*[[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.
+== Video ==
-:*During his TP rampage, [[Alkonost]] favors the single target ability [[Back Heel]].
+[[File:FFXI NM Saga 340 Alkonost NM Full Battle|425px]]
-:*[[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]].
-:*Can use the TP ability [[Jettatura]], an Aoe fan-shaped terror ability. Can be avoided by not facing [[Alkonost]].
-:*It's highly recommended tanks do not face [[Alkonost]] to avoid getting hit with [[Jettatura]] then being exposed to further TP abilities.
-:*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 ???.
