Dragoon

The fight takes place in Chamber of Oracles. If this is not your first Maat fight, you must walk to the BC; Maat will not teleport you. To get to Chamber of Oracles, you'll have to pass a couple weight switches in Quicksand Caves, so if you're not a Galka, you'll need someone to help you open them (opened by 3 Tarutaru, 2 Hume/Mithra/Elvaan, or 1 Galka).

A Maat Fight Strategy

Bring along a fish chiefkabob, a stack of hi potions, sleep potions and some Selbina milk. Use the sleep potions and Opo-necklace to get your TP up like always. Summon your wyvern and use your food and drink. Now, engage Maat and hit him five times or so and he will summon his wyvern. By this time, you should have 100% TP. Penta thrust Maat's wyvern but don't change targets, this will prompt your wyvern to breath on Maat. Jump and high jump, hit Maat a few times then use super jump and then immediately break target and turn away from Maat (so you're engaged still but not attacking Maat). Maat and your wyvern will be locked in battle and with some luck, your wyvern will finish him off for you. If it doesn't, turn around and take him out yourself. He should be near death by now.

Also an Added Note By Kaziel of Kujata.

I have another strategy that I found to be more effective for this fight as the above method did not work for me. I brought one sole sushi, an opo-opo necklace, An icarus wing, a stack of selbina milk and a stack of sleep potions. I also had 2 sun rings, a spike necklace, an Assault Jerkin, The Drachen Armet (bad I know.. cause I subbed warrior.), My colossal lance, 2 spike earrings, tarasque mittens, rutter sabatons, amemet mantle, Barone Cosciales and a life belt. I entered the fight naked so maats stats would be crippled. Then I equipped the opo-opo necklace and used the sleep potions to sleep myself to 300% TP. (Remember to re-equip your armor when entering the BCNM.) Maat will not attack you until you hit him first. As soon as you get 300% TP you will wake up. Use the sole sushi and the selbina milk now. Then Spirit Surge Engage Maat and penta thrust him. This should take a big chunk of his life. Then quickly jump and high jump. Use your Icarus wing now and penta thurst him one more time. This should do more than enough damage to finish maat off. I just ignored his Wyvern, It is too much of a distraction.

A Maat Fight Strategy[2]

enter , eat attack meat and equip your DD gear. sleep 100TP (or more if you like, it won't matter much with Penta thrust) engage him and Penta thrust, Jump and High jump melee a few hits 'till you get 100TP or 'till your HP hits 50% points penta thrust, then Spirit surge (now you should get your wyvern's TP, you may check it using <pettp> before using the 2H) if he didn't call wyvern yet, penta thrust him with some jumps, pop an Icarus wing and Penat thrust to finish him off.

A Maat Fight Strategy[3]

This strategy is totally made up of common sense. Well, the above strategies are pretty good but you can still add more. Bring the usual, opo-opo necklace with a stack of sleep potions, bring a few hi-potions for emergency ( they shouldn't really be needed), an iccarus wing, and stack up on your str gear and ws mods, a plate of sole sushi, and some regen drinks. Now, there is this rumor that maat's stats with be crap if you go in naked, I have heard that and the opposite. I would rather go in naked, just incase this rumor is true. Have your opo-opo necklace equipped, use your sleep pots to obtain 300% TP. Equip all your ws gear and head in. Hit Maat once, pop a ws, iccarus wing, pop another ws, and finally once your pet reaches 100%TP+ use your 2hr and ws again. If he isn't dead by then, repop your wyvern and keep on hitting until he is. I'm fairly sure 3 ws will take him down. If he isn't dead by then, jump, and high jump, wait for 100% TP and ws again. This whole fight is based on your ws' so make them frequent and make them count. Good luck :D Note: also with your ws gear include a good amount of acc, because most polearm ws are multihit, so it's good to make them all hit.

A Maat Fight Strategy[4]

The object of the Maat fight is to do as much damage as possible before Maat can get 100 TP. You will need a piece of Squid Sushi, some Sleeping Potions, a couple of Health Regen drinks (2 at most, if done right, you will only need one), an Icarus Wing, and about six Hi-Potions, as well as an Opo-opo Necklace and a Blink Band. Sleep up to 100% TP, and then eat your food and use your blink band. run through the door and walk up to Maat. Drink your food and then use Spirit Surge. Engage Maat and use Penta-Thrust. Right after you use Penta-Thrust, he will summon his wyvern. DOn't even bother with it, because it doesn't do that much damage. Use your Icarus Wing right after you use Penta-Thrust and Penta-Trust again. Now Jump and High Jump and you should have around 45 TP. Within two or three hits, you should have 100 TP. Penta-Thrust one last time and Maat should be dead. Use Hi-Potions when necessary. As long as you have more then 1000 HP you should be fine. Chances are you will be able to do enough damage to defeat Maat before he can even get 100 TP.

A Maat Fight Strategy[5]

This fight is above and beyond easy. Take a full macro line and do the following. 1: Call Wyvern 2: Penta Thrust 3: Item: Icarus Wing 4: Penta Thrust 5: Jump 6: High Jump 7: Spirit Surge 8: Jump 9: High Jump 10: Penta Thrust Just like all other sets, Opo-opo Necklace and sleeping potions. Sleep to 100%, I ate a Carbonara for the big boost in hp. Run in, and run down your macro list. I did this at level 66, and took just over 400 damage. Dark Mezraq, Scorpion Harness, Jaridah Bazubands, 2 Fluorite Rings, 2 Spike Earrings, Life Belt, Amemet Mantle, Drachen Brais, Drachen Greaves and Drachen Armet. ignore Maat's wyvern totally. After all was said and done, My clear time was 8 minutes... because I made the mistake of sleeping to 100%, then using food, and healing... then had to sleep to 100% again. My mistake. But upon actually engaging Maat... fight lasted 30 seconds.

A Maat Fight Strategy[6]

This is the plan I used at level 68 to crunch Maat in seconds: Bring all the usual stuff, Sleep Potions, Opo-Opo Necklace, a few Hi Potions, and some kind of attack food, I think I used a Meat Chiefkabob, nothing really fancy. Additionaly, bring a Blink Band and an Icarus Wing. Making a macro for the Icarus Wing is of the utmost importance.

Upon entering, I slept to 100 TP, used the Blink Band, and ate my food.

Engaged Maat, hit him a few times, then threw down Skewer. After the WS, I quickly used my Icarus Wing, and hit him with Penta Thrust to Self-SC Compression, and he was done. I didn't have to use Spirit Surge, or any of my Jumps. My Wyvern didn't even get a chance to use a Breath Attack, Compression hurt him so badly.

Confirmation of strategy effectiveness (from another player): I tried this and it worked wonders. With the Blink Band, I only took 157 DMG from Maat, and broke the record for the Asura server ^_^ This is a side note from tyscot, This strategy worked best for me at level 67, came a little close to death but good old spirit surge helped a bunch, I estimatied that maat's health for dragoon's should be some where around 1900-2200, the fight will last no more than 15 seconds, not even kidding you, thats how fast you need to use everything, rember macro EVERYTHING, that saved my ass a bunch when fighting him, Hi-potions+3 is probally not needed cause he will attack that quick, i used 1 sole sushi, if this dosn't help then hopefully you find something thats better, BESST of luck to all you dragoon's out there :D

A Maat Fight Strategy [7]

This was done at lvl 70 and done post 2 handed patch, so it seemed really easy to me. anyway Setup was
Main: Colossal Lance
Head: Walkure Mask
Ears: Spike Earrings
Neck: Chiv. Chain
Body: Assault Jerkin
Hands: Drachen finger Gauntlets
Rings: Sun Ring (Finger 1 and 2)
Waist: Life Belt (I Think)
Legs: Barone Legs
Feet: DRG AF
Tactic: Ok, so this being my first maat fight, I Went in as DRG/WHM, I didn't do any Sleeping to 100% or anything.
/attack Maat and run towards him (with your Wyvern out), getting first blood on him, after you hit him, use an Icarus Wing to get to 100% then penta thrust him, Jump, High Jump then straight after use Spirit Surge. once you have used Spirit Surge, Jump and High Jump Maat again, after that you should have enough TP to let loose another Penta-Thrust and beat him.

Using this tactic not only did i beat him, but i beat him in 1 minute and 24 seconds, which i was told was the fastest, but i needed confirmation on that ^^.

Notice that i didn't use any Food or Sleep to 100% TP just went in and kicked his butt, I hope this Strat works with everyone else ^^ and good luck! A Video of the above strategy can be found on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Orikar366k# Tyh

A Maat Fight Strategy [8]

This strat is just like the one above but I used different (and much worse) gear.
Main: Engetsuto
Head: Drachen Armet
Ears: Fang Earring x2
Neck: Chiv. Chain
Body: Tabin Jupon (give me a break I'm poor!)
Hands: Drachen finger Gauntlets
Rings: Drake Ring, Fluorite Ring
Waist: Swordbelt +1
Legs: Feral Trousers
Feet: Drachen Graves

As soon as you enter, Call Wyvern, use your food (I'm pretty sure I used Sole Sushi) and pop an Icarus Wing. Run up to Maat, Penta Thrust, Jump, High Jump, Spirit Surge, Jump, High Jump. If you are wearing Barone gear you should have enough tp for another penta, at this point I did not because my wyvern only had a chance to hit once or twice before I used Spirit Surge, so if you don't have 100% yet just keep hitting until you do. The second penta thrust should be enough to finish Maat off if you ignored his wyvern. I finished with a time of 1:22 on Quetzalcoatl.

A Maat Fight Strategy [9]

Main: Colossal Lance
Head: Dandy Spectacles/Blink Band/Scorpion Helm
Ears: Spike Earring x2
Neck: Opo-Opo Necklace/Chiv. Chain
Body: Scorpion Harness
Hands: Raptor Gloves
Back: Amemet Mantle
Rings: Venerer Ring, Balance Ring
Waist: Life Belt
Legs: Barone Cosciales
Feet: Tiger Ledelsens

I finally did it - took me 5 tries. I used the macro palette idea from above. I wore the Dandy Spectacles only as I talked to Maat and entered the BCNM. After i entered the door, I put on my armor and used a scroll or re-raise (just in case).

A Maat fight strategy 10

I'm an Elvaan male so this strategy worked fine for me. There's really no need to kill his Wyvern. I slept to 100 tp, Went in there did a penta thrust for 700, Icarus wing, then Penta again and I did 800, by then maat should be done if not just do a Jump and high jump, No 2hr needed

A Maat Fight Strategy 11

Went in as DRG67/SAM00 for the fight. Recommended to bring an Icarus Wing (not required, I won without it), 4 Sleeping Potions, 3 Hi-Potions, and an Opo-Opo Necklace. At the start, sleep to 100% TP, then Call your Wyvern before you go in and engage Maat. Hit him a few times until he summons his wyvern, and without changing targets, (so you'll keep attacking Maat without delay), use Penta Thrust on Maat's Wyvern. It will easily fall under the attack. Then Jump and High Jump Maat, and hit him with attacks until your wyvern has enough TP to get you to 100% (use <pettp> to check this). Spirit Surge, then Penta Thrust. Maat fell under my next two attacks, so I didn't use my Icarus Wing, but if you want, you can and follow up with a second Penta Thrust to finish him. Pop Hi-Potions as needed. Also recommended to bring a Pamama/Persikos Au Lait (I used the former)and a Tavazanian Taco for the extra VIT and DEF. Helps keep you alive and all. -Kensagaku, Kujata server

A Maat Fight Strategy 12

Went in as Mithra 69DRG/00SAM, I brought 3 Sleep Potions, bring at least 4 to get 100% with the Opo-Opo Necklace, I went with 3 because thats all that was on AH at the time. I also used about 3 HI-Potions from a Hi-Pot. Tank. Used Selbina milk(not really needed, not very much regen anyway) and a Tavnazian taco. Before I entered the Burning Circle I had taken off all the gear that would give me bonus's. I messed up and used the sleep pots before reequiping gear etc. Went into fight after using food etc and jumped and high jumped to make up for lost TP, Maat called wyvern fast, and used a weapon skill that brought me to about half, and using some high pots, Penta thrusted Maat's Wyvern without changing targets, and super jumped at around 200 HP. Without disengaging broke target lock and ran to let wyvern hold aggro, wyvern at about 20% hp and maat about 40% I spirit surged after checking wyvern TP with <pettp> when my wyvern was around 50%. Maat ran towards me hitting me to 120 and I penta thrusted to victory. Barely made it for first attempt, will work alot better if you have either 100% to start with or an Icarus wing. -Ayra:Kujata Ayraprime 05:43, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

The Maat Strategy

This guide is to help Dragoon's everywhere get a record of 1 minute and 10 seconds or less fighting Maat. I done this fight about 3 months ago and It was the easiest ever. First of all You don't need an Opo-Opo Necklace as it is useless. The only thing you need is Sole Sushi, or a Tavnazian Taco whichever one you like better, also an Icarus Wing. Once you zone in to fight Maat, Simply run up to him and do the following: Attack, Icarus Wing, Penta Thrust, Jump, High Jump, Spirit Surge(if your HP is not low enough for 2hr then just grab an extra hit or 2 in then use it), Jump, High Jump, Penta Thrust(if you don't have enough for another Penta Thrust DO NOT PANIC you probably will need an attack or 2 and yes you can survive). This is the exact strategy I used and Maat fell before I even knew he died lol. You don't need any special gear, just decent gear will be perfectly fine. By the way this was my first attempt at a Maat fight for DRG and I broke the record at 1 minute 4 seconds GO Phoenix Server :). Kirakuro 06:40, 27 March 2009 (UTC)Kirakuro

The Maat Strategy 2.0

I spent quite some time researching this fight as this was my first fight against Maat. I will say that it was a challenging experience, but as stated above there is no need to overspend for this fight. If you have decent gear, and I'm not talking about anything special, then you will be fine. I used the AF set with a level 60 spear, the Dark Mezraq, and some agi earrings, alongside some +DEX rings. In addition, I had the +10acc belt and a spike necklace. Like previously stated, nothing special here. So I followed the advice of some and this is what I took with me: x5 Hi-Potion + 3, an Icaurus Wing, and a plate of sole sushi. This cost me about 17k gil for the attempt. As expected, I farmed the testimony and headed to Maat for the challenge. I zoned into the fight immediately running toward Maat. Just open the door, use your food, use the Icarus Wing, and engage Maat. Run up to him and immediately use Penta-Thrust. Then Jump, Super Jump, and begin to take some hits. Once your HP is low, use your 2hr spirit surge. If used correctly, you should be about or at full health, and having 100%+ TP. Use Penta-Thrust again, then Jump and Super Jump. He should be waving the white flag at this point and with any luck, you'll have a new server record.

Tip: It is important to use macros. Below are the macros I setup before the fight. These are in order of usage as well.

Warning for Mithra DRG

Unless others have succeeded to the contrary, the non-Opo necklace strategy did NOT work for me. I used Selbina Milk, Sole Sushi, Icarus Wing, 2 Hour, etc all macro'd and done in as much time as it took for me to hit the buttons and died. I have +49 ACC from gear plus my DEX and used the best equipment available short of Assault Earring. Maybe if I ate meat it would have worked but for those considering this strategy and are Mithra please keep my experience in mind. Maybe some more STR would work better but I just say don't risk it and just get an Opo...><

Yet Another Stratagy

I was 1/4 and used most of these, or parts of these stratagies. This is the one that worked for me. Take your best DD gear! I reccomend an O-hat, Scorp Harness, Barone shorts and Tabin Boots+1 as a starting point. Also bring an Opo-opo, Selbina milk, a Sole Sushi, Icarus Wing and at least five Sleeping Potions. I also brought a Hi-Potion Tank and as many Elixirs as I had on hand, just in case. I reccomend setting macros in this order: Penta Thrust, Icarus Wing, Penta Thrust, Jump, High Jump, Penta Thrust, Spirit Surge. I made the second row of macros for my medicine and milk, just in case. Also, make SURE your Polearm skill is capped. Ready. Now get nekkid and talk to Maat. Don't get dressed until you're in the battlefield. Call your wyvern and equip your DD gear (and Hi-pot tank if you're paranoid like me) along with your Opo-Opo. I alternated between Sleeping pots and making Hi-pots. Once you get enough TP (100% minimum, but the more the better) equip your DD neck and back. Drink your milk, eat your food and run on in. Just run through your macros in order. By the time I hit my third Penta, he was done. Never called his wyvern. Now this was shot number four, just after I got my O-hat and capped my Polearm skill. Good luck! And yes, I am a Mithra :) Dkhyrosha 19:10, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

It was easier as I tought. I used just an Icarus Wing. No food was used - because it was my first Maat fight, I was nervous and forgot to eat it. ^^;

75DRG

It should be noted that the above strats are not relevant for a 75DRG, as some ATK food and 1 Drakesbane is more than enough to defeat maat from a decent to well geared DRG. My Drakes landed 1298dmg and ended the fight, I used one wing and a yellow curry bun.
