Notes:

• Special Attacks: Draw In, Mighty Strikes (once), Great Sandstorm, Great Whirlwind, Heat Breath, Tail Swing, and Riddle (Max MP Down).
• Monster seems to have random hate; switches targets often and with no apparent pattern.
• Highly resistant to many earth based Enfeebling Magic spells, additionally has shown great resistance to Diobolos's Ultimate Terror. Recommend the use of Paralyze II seems to stick rather well.
• For a BLU/SCH, Poison Breath worked extremely well. Nearly 200 damage each cast.
• Keeping DoTs up for duration of the fight will shorten the time required to kill this.

Historical Background

In Norse mythology, Hraesvelg (more properly spelled Hræsvelgr) was a giant eagle who created strong winds whenever it flapped its wings. It nested high up in a mountain at the edge of the world where it can overlook Helheim. Hraesvelg means “corpse-eater”.
