Spawn Conditions	Companions/Summons
Spawned by trading Vacant Bugard Eye to the ??? at (C-8)/(D-8). Right on the line.	None
Special Abilities	Passive Traits
Sable Breath - Deals conal darkness damage. Damage reduced by standing to the sides. Spike Flail - Deals extreme damage in a threefold attack when attacking a player that is behind Azdaja. Easily survivable with cruor HP buffs. This move is RADIAL from Azdaja, meaning that it will hit anyone in a wide circle around the entire NM, not just those standing behind. Players outside of the party will not be hit. Recommend keeping a healer outside the party and tanking from the rear to make the fight a breeze. Absorbed by one to three shadow images. Cyclone Wing - Deals 30' AoE darkness damage. Additional effect: Sleep. Duration 90 seconds. Baleful Roar - AoE full dispel that removes all Atma and all buffs including food. Also Hate Reset. Only seems to use this move below 50%? If you are outside 20' your buffs will not be removed, however if you are the target of the tp move your atma will be removed no matter how far away you are. Infinite Terror - AoE Terror 20'. Seems to last between 10-30 seconds and may possibly break upon taking damage.	Regain
Physical Qualities	Magical Qualities
Physical Attacks have an added effect: Amnesia, Doom, Curse, Petrify, Paralyze, Bind or Dispel. The odds of an attack giving one of the aforementioned effects is roughly 75%. If you get Doomed, then another hit applies Curse, the Curse will overwrite the Doom effect.	Casts Sleepga II, Dispel, Addle, Stonega IV, Aeroga IV, Thundaga IV, Blizzaga IV, Firaga IV, Stun, Bindga, Graviga, Silencega, and Breakga. All spells can be AoE, but not always, including Dispel, Drain, Aspir, Stun, and Addle. Dispel will remove all cruor buffs from the target even if the spell doesn't land on the target or is out of range. It will still occur even if Dispel is stunned or otherwise interrupted, although it is very difficult to stun. Dispel will remove one buff and can be blinked, as per standard mechanic.
Further Notes
Unlike Vrtra does not use Charm or summon adds. Bringing lots of poison medicine actually makes this fight pretty simple. Recommend fighting near conflux to reapply buffs if they are dispelled and away from skeletons in the area to avoid blood aggro. Runs at normal movement speed, meaning it can easily be kited to Conflux #7. Take care not to lose it, which may happen if NM stops to cast. (see testimonials)
