Proto-Omega

Quadrupedal Form

Bipedal Form

Proto-Omega has about 26000 HP.

• Auto-Regen (low-middle)
• It is immune to Gravity, Bind, Dispel, and Blind.
• It is susceptible to Slow, Paralyze, Elegy, Requiem, Threnody, Finale, and Stun.
• It seems to take the most damage from Blizzard nukes (~618), but Thunder is also good (~581).
• It is highly resistant to Dark elemental spells/effects.
• It is not affected by CCB Polymer Pumps.
• It has party aggro (just like all Limbus mobs), so anyone using zombie tactics to keep DoT on and prevent regeneration after a wipe must drop from party first.

Proto-Omega periodically switches between two stances, shown at right. It starts out on four legs and switches stances every two minutes after first aggro.

• On all four legs, he is extremely resistant to physical damage, and nukes hit for about 70% damage.

• Melee attacks inflict ~200 damage, sometimes with additional effect Stun.
• Suggested strategy: Tank with shadows, melees maybe build TP but then stand back, BLMs DD some but be ready for the Gunpod when it moves to two legs.
• Just free stun in this form, no stunnable attacks.

• On two legs he is vulnerable to physical damage, and nukes hit for about 10% damage.

• Melee attacks inflict ~500 damage.
• Suggested strategy: Tank with shadows, melees DD, BLMs stun, healers stand far back and be ready with Paralyna and Silena.
• If you try to stun whenever you see the red lines of a TP move in this form, you'll probably just stun Stun Cannon and Floodlight, which works out well.

• At 25% HP it switches into his final form, which looks the same as bipedal form, but is significantly different.

• Melee attacks are extremely damaging; over ~600 damage.
• The final form takes 50% damage from both physical and magical attacks.
• The final form has Regain, allowing it to spam special attacks (Pod Ejection, Colossal Blow and Laser Shower).
• Suggested strategy: Kite while farming gunpods and slowly bringing its HP down so you can kill it fast when time gets low.

• Alternately, Chainspell Stun, tank in place and zerg it down fast.
• Avoiding hate reset from Colossal Blow is important; either kiting or Stun can accomplish that.

Proto-Omega incorporates many of Omega's special attacks, plus some new ones. They differ by form:

• Quadrupedal Form:

• Guided Missile: Targeted 10'(?) AoE ~400-750 physical damage, absorbed by Utsusemi
• Ion Efflux: Cone Attack Paralysis
• Target Analysis: 10'(?) AoE Absorb-ALL, absorbed by Utsusemi
• Pile Pitch: Massive damage, hate reset and Bind (30 sec), ignores Utsusemi (90% of current HP, reduced by -physical damage gear)
• Rear Lasers: Damage and Petrification, used when someone behind Omega gets hate

• Bipedal Form:

• Sometimes uses Pod Ejection while switching into two leg form.
• Guided Missile II: Targeted 15'(?) AoE ~475 magic damage, ignores Utsusemi
• Floodlight: Targeted 15'(?) AoE ~300 magic damage, Flash, Blind and Silence, ignores Utsusemi
• Hyper Pulse: 20' AoE ~300 magic damage, Gravity and short Bind, wipes Utsusemi
• Stun Cannon: Targeted 20'(?) AoE ~300 magic damage and Paralysis, ignores Utsusemi

• Final Form (always bipdal):

• Colossal Blow: Massive damage, knockback and hate reset, ignores Utsusemi
• Laser Shower: Cone Attack ~150-900 damage

• Damage is reduced by kiting or standing off-center; this seems to follow the same rules as Wyrm breath.

• Pod Ejection: Spawn a Gunpod. Used at the beginning of final form, and then periodically afterwards.

• Gunpods do not link with Proto-Omega, they seem to choose their target randomly.
• The Gunpods have about 2000 HP, so two Tier IV nukes or Spirits Withins should knock them out. Kill them ASAP, they hit hard.
• One BLM/NIN can be useful for pulling Gunpods.
• They drop one of the following: 6 Ancient Beastcoins, an AF+1 material, one of the chips you used to enter the battle, or a synthesis material.

When Proto-Omega is defeated the final Armoury Crate appears in the middle of the arena. It contains 5-6 Ancient Beastcoins and 2-3 Omega body parts.

Don't be in too much of a hurry to kill Proto-Omega; the more Gunpods it spawns, the more loot you can get from them. If you can survive the final form for a while, it's best to keep kiting it around farming Gunpods until you're almost out of time.
