Notes:

  • Found at K-8 on the second map in the small south room.
  • Uses kick attacks only.
  • Uses Dragon Kick and other Fomor weapon skills. Dragon Kick was seen to do over 2300 damage. It can easily one-shot most jobs without shadows up, but its readying animation provides ample time to run out of range or stun.
  • Uses Hundred Fists.
  • Relatively slow attack speed compared to other MNK-types.
  • Seems to resist melee damage or have high defense.
  • Immune to Paralyze, Gravity and Bind.
  • Defeated by a full party of 2 NIN/DNC 2 DNC/NIN 1 BLM/WHM and a THF/NIN with some trouble. BLM died twice, as well as one of the NIN, and a DNC died once too. Reraise is greatly recomended. Long fight.
  • Duo'd by a RDM/NIN and NIN/WAR - Share hate untill he 2hrs. This is key to strategy - During Hundred Fists, let the rdm get hate and have them Chainspell Stoneskin/Ni/ichi spam untill Hunderd Fists wears. Resume fighting and continue to share hate as this makes the fight easier on recast timers. About a 45min fight. Note to nins - Go all out haste as he rarely misses. RR items recomended.


Historical Background

In Irish mythology, Bres was a king of the Tuatha Dé Danann. His parents were Prince Elatha of the Fomorians and Ériu. He was an unpopular king, and favored his Fomorian kin. He grew so quickly that by the age of seven he was the size of a 14-year-old. In the First Battle of Magh Tuiredh, King Nuada of the Tuatha Dé Danann lost his hand; because he was imperfect, he could not be king. Hoping to reconcile relations between the Fomorians and the Tuatha Dé Danann, Bres was named king and Brigid of the Tuatha de Danann married him. After Bres had ruled for seven years, Nuada had his hand replaced and Bres was exiled. After his father declined to help him regain his throne, Bres found Balor to help him. Bres led the Fomorians in the Second Battle of Magh Tuireadh but lost. He was found unprotected on the battlefield by Lugh and pleaded for his life. Lugh spared him because he promised to teach the Tuatha Dé agriculture.
