A = Aggressive; NA = Non-Aggresive; L = Links; S = Detects by Sight; H = Detects by Sound;

Notes:

  • Spawns around (K-7) Map 2. Approx. 4 hours after last death/despawn.
  • Uses Perfect Dodge a number of times under 30%. This can make Melee zergs (outnumbering) chancy but possible.
  • The draw in is like that of the Minotaur from CoP. When you attack the NM it will draw everyone in the alliance to it, you cannot kite the NM more than 20-30 yalms from where it spawns. Anytime someone with hate is too far from the NM, everyone in the alliance (or possibly with hate) will be drawn in to the center of the NM.
  • Has both En spell damage and additional effect Silence.
  • Spam Cast's Aeroga III, Graviga, Silencega, Tornado, Aero IV, Hecatomb Wave, Zephyr Mantle, Frightful Roar.
  • Elemental Magic spells cause it to level up, Blue Magic does not, enfeebling magic might.
  • Under this effect Ethniu will Triple Attack more often than normal.
  • The nature of enmity on this mob is unique. Any actions, regardless of what it is will draw the attention of each of the new Fomor NMs. {IE. Paladin: Sentinel+Flash (hate on PLD). Corsair Quick Draw 66 damage (hate on Corsair.) However, there is a common tactic to keeping hate on the PLD. That being cure spam on the NM. Always casting cure/cure II, banish II, etc. will keep the NMs attention on better than normal means.
  • If you deal enough damage, she will despawns after a wipe, a message will be displayed "You have lost sight of the monster and can no longer sense its presence.
