Walkthrough

Kill all the Augmented Chigoes.

• You will spawn on the same map as Assault Mission - Shooting Down the Baron.
• There are BLM Chigoe Breeders monsters that roam the map. It is not necessary to kill these to win.
  • Chigoe Breeders respawn very quickly.
  • They also have a LOT of HP, and tend to cast Sleepga and Sleepga II fairly often.
  • Their aggro radius is also much longer than normal sight aggro.
• Augmented Chigoes hit fast but are very weak. Anyone with a Phalanx effect will take predominantly 0 damage.
• A single critical hit, a damaging job ability such as Jump, or a weaponskill will instantly kill a chigoe.
• The rate of critical hits against these chigoes is greatly enhanced.
• It is important to be very thorough, especially in cage rooms. It is easy to miss chigoes since they blend in and don't show up on Widescan. Be sure to check on top and around behind the cages.
• Once all 35 Augmented Chigoes have been killed, the Rune of Release will spawn at (H-8).

Notes

• While Widescan or Monster Radar cannot be used to reveal the locations of chigoes, they would be very useful for tracking and avoiding lamiae. There are a lot of blind corners and column-crowded rooms where it is easy for them to sneak up on you.
• If you get aggro from a lamia and have a large enough party, send someone to continue killing chigoes so you don't waste time.
  • The chigoes hit very quickly and you can lose several hundred HP very quickly if you are swarmed. This person should have a lot of HP, high defense, or be capable of healing themselves.
• A Summoner with a free Carbuncle is very strong in this assault. Time is very critical. Carbuncle will automatically engage and kill the chigoes (because of the enhanced critical hit rate) often before you even have a chance to target them.
