Walkthrough

Tranquilize or kill all 8 Marids.

• The starting point is in the lower southeast tunnels of the map.
• Talk to the NPC Zimahd to obtain a Thunderguard Dart.
  • The darts are used to tame the eight marids.
• There are two marids per room.
• The marids are susceptible to sleep, gravity and bind.
• They move very slowly and are easy to pull.
  • It is simple and usually necessary that you pull two at one time and keep one slept or gravitied to beat this assault in time as the Marids are extremely long pulls.
  • Pull the marid you are fighting as close to the NPC as possible in order to keep a constant supply of darts.
• The marids become immune to all effects and spells while the darts are taking place (roughly 2-3 seconds).
• When using the tranquilizers, they will either have no effect or fall out.
  • If the dart "falls out" the Marid goes into a berserk state. During this time they will run at full speed and hit much harder(300+ on a BLM)
  • This only happens if the Marid is awake. Sleeping the Marid prior to using tranquilizers will prevent it from happening. -- Boogers on Hades
• One person (probably a ninja) can hold the marid and damage it to about 75%. Around 75% start using the tranquilizer darts on the marid. Simply use them from your item menu. Once the marid has been tamed it will disappear.
• Someone should be assigned to killing chigoes that the marids will summon. These have very low HP and are easy to kill. A good strategy is to get TP on the marid and use them on the chigoes that pop.
• There are also a number of Mamool Ja throughout the map.
• All eight of the Marids must either be killed or tamed to win this assault, if you successfully tame all eight marids you will earn full points. Killing a marid will lower the points.

Notes

• At G-9/H-9 players can only go east, the ramp going up does not connect to allow players to go west in this tunnel.
• There are two obvious shorts cuts. Pullers do not have to go up a ramp until the last two Marids. Take the G-6 ramp going up and go south hanging right.
