Walkthrough

Talk to the NPC to receive tissue grafts, then eliminate a group of lamiae enemies. Repeat three more times.

• When you talk to the NPC, she grafts random tissue to you giving you different bonuses/penalties which do not stack.
  • Opo-opo Cerebral Tissue: Max MP-50%, +Fast Cast, +7HMP
  • Goobbue Tissue: +ATK(100% attack boost), +Slow (100% timer increase)
  • Dragonfly Tissue: +Accuracy, +Ranged Accuracy, -Attack, -Ranged Attack
  • Raptor Tissue: Max HP-50%, Movement Speed+50% (flee speed)
• Each time you get a tissue graft, one of the four groups of Lamia will appear. These include the following groups:
  • Northeast tunnel (appear down a one-way cliff, but can be pulled back up): BLM and RNG
  • Southeast tunnel: BLM, RNG, COR.
  • West (north side of cavern): BLM, RNG, COR
  • West (south side of cavern): BLM, COR
• The Lamia have high evasion.
• The Lamia Prosector (BLM) will have buffed itself with Ice Spikes. It cannot be slept or silenced.
• The other Lamiae can be slept, but have high resist rates.
• They have a very large visual aggro/link range but it is possible to pull them individually if your puller is good.
• They do not hit very hard (which is good since you may have 50% HP cap from raptor tissue), but the -aga 3's from the BLM's will still hit for full damage.
• Once the group of Lamia is dead, talk to the NPC again. Another random tissue will be grafted to your body and one of the other Lamia groups will appear.
  • Once you kill a Lamia group, that group will not reappear for the rest of the assault.
• Go through 4 sets of tissue grafts/mobs to unlock the Rune of Release at the start point.
• This assault can be easily completed in about 20 minutes by most healer + 2 DD combos, with the best healer for it being RDM and the best DDs being BLUs.
• If you speak with the NPC at the end of the assault, there is a dialogue with four options. The most positive response seems to be garnered from answering "Great!" though the effect of this has yet to be determined.

Notes

• The Lamia Sharper is a Corsair, and can use Dukkeripen.
