Notes:

• Spawns at E-7 (Flux #2) approximately every 10-15 min among the Geier.
• Has Enaero that does 30~50 damage with both Shell V and Baraera on.
• Damnation Dive has an additional Stun effect that lasts longer than usual.

• May use Helldive 3-4 times consecutively.
• Also has a possible hate reset.
• Will always wipe 2 shadows.
• The hate reset on Damnation Dive seems to accompany its stun effect. If the stun does not land, hate is not reset.

• Has a mild Double Attack rate.
• Immune or highly resistant to light and dark, sleep, bind, and gravity.
• About 1300 XP
• Hits fairly hard, blink tanking recommended.

• Evasion tanking with support HIGHLY advised.
• Paralyze, Slow, and Blind status effects all stick easily and help with keeping/getting shadows up.

• Need to kill 30 times for the quest Trial 1299.

• Just killed him as 90PLD/RDM45, Just switch back and forth between Ice spikes & Reprisal then it's an easy fight.
