Eastern Altepa Desert 48-49 Unknown 1 L, S, Sc
4,000~4,500 HP
A = Aggressive; NA = Non-Aggresive; L = Links; S = Detects by Sight; H = Detects by Sound;

Notes:

  • Timed Spawn(Duration Unknown) Around (E-8),(F-8) and (G-8);
  • Uses Healing Breeze weapon skill exclusively. Can restore 914+HP;
    • Uses Healing Breeze @ 200TP as long as HP is >60%, @ 150TP as long as HP is 30-60%, and 100TP if HP is <30%;
      • This accounts for the large variation of HP restored by Healing Breeze as it was experienced to be stronger early in fight, but weaker and more often when close to death.
  • Gains 25%Verification Needed TP when it is hit by a physical or ranged attack. (Barrage not recommended.LOLK.Club?);
    • The above isn't true.. i smacked it around with kclub and w/o.. just does healing breeze every 15 secs regardless of tp
    • Subtle Blow, High-Damage/High-Delay Weapon, or Elemental Magic recommended;
  • Occasionally, attacks have an "En-Slow" effect.Verification Needed
    • If En-Slow effect is true, it doesn't overwrite Haste.
  • Some degree of care should be taken, as surrounding Desert Dhalmals will link.;

  • Easy fight for DRG58/THF29 with pro2 and taco.
  • Decent fight for BST65/WHM32. Every time my pet and I actually did a decent amount of damage, Nandi spammed Healing Breeze. Sometimes one right after the other, which made the fight last for about 15 minutes.
  • Very long and annoying fight for THF58/DNC29 using meat mithkabob and musketeer commander's falchion with sword merits and viking shield. Brought out NPC with great katana to help. Got it to 1% hp a couple times but didn't actually kill it until I landed a lucky 955 damage Sneak Attack + Fast Blade + distortion skillchain. With a decent evasion setup, you should barely be hit. -Bismarck.Stephano Stephanox 09:51, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
  • Easily killed by a Bst64/Dnc using Lifedrinker Lars.

Historical Background

Nandi is the bull which Siva rides and the gate keeper of Siva and Parvati in Hindu mythology. In addition to being a mount, Nandi is also the chief follower of Siva. So much so, that in some stories, not only does he have Siva's protection, but Nandi has the same powers as Siva.
