| − | ===Battle Strategy=== |
||
| − | |||
| − | '''This strategy is aimed at the lvl '''70''' SCH G5, and assumes the SCH has capped [[Magic]] [[Skill]], Good/Excellent INT, and equipment for [[Dark Arts]]).''' See discussion if you are 71+. |
||
| − | *Before entering the battlefield use [[Cream Puff]], [[Blink Band]], and (if you can afford it) [[Stoneskin Torque]]. These will '''NOT''' wear upon entering! |
||
| − | *Upon entering the battlefield, cast [[Shell III]] upon yourself, use [[Dark Arts]], then [[Addendum: Black]], then [[Alacrity]], then [[Ebullience]], and then target the [[Crimson Grimoire]]. [[Macro]]s are '''VITAL''' here, as you need to perform the above a quickly as is possible. Using an [[Intelligence Potion]] at this point may cause the following scenario to occur, so be warned: |
||
| − | *If Gunther manages to cast [[Shell III]] upon the [[Crimson Grimoire]], you have been too slow in performing the above, and rendered this fight practically impossible. |
||
| − | *Immediately cast [[Stone IV]] on the [[Crimson Grimoire]], then [[Alacrity]] + [[Blizzard III]]. If you are '''lucky''', the [[Crimson Grimoire]] will be dead. If it is not, you soon will be! |
||
| − | *It is worth noting that at this point if the [[Crimson Grimoire]] is [[Light]] or [[Stone]] or Dark [[Element]], you '''WILL''' fail this fight '''PERIOD'''... If the [[Crimson Grimoire]] starts casting [[Ice]] [[Magic]] after your [[Stone IV]] lands, then cast [[Alacrity]] + [[Fire III]] instead. (There is currently no way of telling the [[Element]] of the [[Crimson Grimoire]] before it is too late. Go back to [[East Ronfaure (S)]], get another [[Testimony]], and try over). (Just attempted on Iceday, magic skill capped at 258 with gear, [[Stone IV]] only did 168 dmg, and and [[Blizzard III]] healed the Grimoire. Grimoire element match current day? -- Nymande, 6 July 2009) |
||
| − | ((From what my experinces have shown me as i am 0/30 on this battle the book's element appears to depend on ones opening actions in the battle..i.e 2hr from the start it's a light element. i.e2: follow stratagy above one random element.--[[User:Pikachuninetail|Pikachuninetail]] 06:31, 9 July 2009 (UTC) ) |
||
| − | |||
| − | ((I am now 0/13 on the fight, capped magic skill, Magic Att. Bonus+10, INT+17 (before food), but I am getting heavy resists on the second spell, even with elemental staves paired with the element of the spell and weakness of the Grimoire element. Repeated runs on same day have proven that the element is not matched to the weather or day --Nymande, 15 July 2009)) |
||
| − | *The [[Crimson Grimoire]] can be of any element. Spells of the same element cast on the Grimoire will heal it. The [[Crimson Grimoire]] will only cast spells of its own [[Element]]. |
||
| − | *Gunther may cast a spell of the same element on the [[Crimson Grimoire]] to heal it between your nukes, so be sure to finish it fast. |
||
| − | *After the [[Crimson Grimoire]] has died, quickly use [[Tabula Rasa]] and cast [[Dispel]] on Gunther. This may or may not rid Gunther of his [[Shell III]], which is the desired outcome. |
||
| − | *Using [[Alacrity]] and [[Ebullience]], cast [[Thunder III]] on Gunther, followed by another [[Alacrity]] and [[Ebullience]] and [[Aero III]]. It is recommended that at this point you use a [[Vile Elixir]] and/or [[Hyper Potion]] as required. You will not have time for [[Cure]]s, and [[Drain]] is generally ineffective. |
||
| − | *Gunther should now be at below 1/2 health. Using [[Alacrity]] / [[Parsimony]] (depending on race) and [[Ebullience]], cast [[Stone IV]] on Gunther. If he is still alive by this point, use [[Alacrity]] and [[Blizzard III]] on him. If you have had no resists, Gunther will now give in! There will follow a lengthy and satisfying cutscene! |
||
| − | |||
| − | If he starts to melee you, it is wise to run away from him. He will eventually start casting a spell instead which allows you to not get interrupted by his melee. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *[[Crimson Grimoire]] has around 700 HP. |
||
| − | *Gunther has around 1250 HP. |
||
| − | *Gunther's AI is similar to that of a mage-type beastman. He will not move into melee range until his HP falls below a certain percent, although on occasion this does not appear to be the case. |
||
| − | *Both Gunther and the [[Crimson Grimoire]] are heavily resistant to [[Sleep]] even with [[Voidstorm]] + [[Klimaform]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | *Won in 1 minute 57 seconds at SCH70. Used the exact tactic above. Gear was SCH AF with Elemental Torque and anything else that increased INT, which put me to around +29. Grimoire went down in 2 shots, Gunther in about 4. No potions used. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *Won in 2 minutes 0 seconds at SCH70 all normal cheap AH/AF besides waist, which was a [[Penitent's Rope]] (int 75+33 with food). Fight progressed as such: Stone IV followed by Blizzard III killed the book. Tabula Rasa Dispel for Schultz, then Alacrity + Penury + Ebullience Stone IV, Cure IV on self, then Alacrity + Penury + Ebullience Blizzard III and Alacrity + Penury + Ebullience Stone IV for the victory. |
||
| − | |||
| − | *Won in 1 minute 36 seconds at SCH70 all normal AF with black cape+1,two wisdom rings,and the strategy used above also one Vile elixir+1 used (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) on a final note it took me a grand total of 70 tries to beat this cap...I STRONGLY encourage players NOT TO use this as their first 70 cap battle as it is frustrating and above all nearly impossible to beat at this level. --[[User:Pikachuninetail|Pikachuninetail]] 09:21, 9 July 2009 (UTC) |
||
| − | |||
| − | *Finally won on 18th attempt in 2 min 36 seconds with a Mithra SCH70, (int 66 base as SCH70/RDM35, not sure base int during subjob restriction) wearing all INT+ or MAB+ gear I could find: AF head, body and feet, Cobra Gloves, Cobra Crackows, Peni Rope, Black Cape+1, Enlightened Chain, Morion Earring, Moldy Earring, Phantom Tathlum, 2 Zircon Rings, Earth Staff/Thunder Staff/Aquilo's Staff, and Sweet Rice Cake food, giving me int+28 (+33 with Auilo's Staff) and MAB+9. Grimoire was Dark based, but Alacrity + Ebullience + Stone IV with Earth Staff and Alacrity + Blizzard III with Aquilo's Staff did 714 (411+303) dmg. Needed both Blink Band and Stoneskin Torque applied before entering to prevent Blizzard III being interrupted (Grimoire's Aspir took out Blink effect, and Stoneskin allowed only 64 dmg from melee attack as Grimoire died). Had a macro misfire as I switched to Gunther, and Tabula Rasa never activated until after first couple nukes, or fight would have been shorter. Initially entered with MP+ gear on, and macro switched to INT+ after casting Shell III, to maximize MP available for fight. Used equip change macros with elemental staff to match spell element for added dmg (+10% for NQ staves, +15% for HQ), which was necessary to finally defeat the Grimoire. -- Nymande, 15 July 2009 |

| − | |||
| − | *I won 1/4 as a Mithran SCH70 using full AF, Black Cape +1, Penitent's Rope, Moldy Earring, Morion Earring, Zircon Ringx2, Morion tathlum, and Aquilo's Staff as the only noteable gear. Could have gone 1/1 but I forgot to 2hr and Dispel Gunther's shell. I ended up winning against the light element grimoire using the top strategy. I used a Vile elixer and Yagudo Drink inside, while eating a Cream Puff and using a Blink Band outside. Started off quickly without wasting anytime, doing Shell III > Dark Arts > Addendum: Black > Alacrity > Ebuillence > Stone IV. luckilly the Grimoire casted Protect on itself so when I did Alacrity > Blizzard III it had died without taking a shadow. I then used my Yagudo Drink and then Tabula Rasa and used dispel which only got rid of a hardly useful Regen, I then started casting between Stone IV and Blizzard III using only Parsimony and Ebullience during my 2hr and then only Parsimony when it ran out. I used my Vile Elixer at about 200 MP. I won quickly with Gunther Getting my HP a little over 300 and enough MP for a good 2-3 nukes. This was my first ever G5 so I had no idea what to expect. I found this fight very easy, although it is a matter of luck. None of my magic skills were capped for these fights. |

| − | |||
| − | *Won 1/3 in 2 minutes 0 seconds on Gilgamesh. Mithra SCH70 using Full AF, Blue Cape, Penitent's rope, Moldavite earring, Insomnia earring, Zircon ringx2, Phantom tathlum, Beak necklace, Earthin grip, Earth/Ice staff. Capped magic, 93 int (with food+items). Used blink band + cream puff outside. Entered and cast Shell III - Int Potion - Dark Arts - Addendum: Black - Alacrity - Ebuillence - Stone IV. Grimoire started to cast Thunder III, I used Alacrity - Blizzard, down it went, and it's spell did not get cast on me. Quickly used my Yagudo Drink - Tabula Rasa - Ebuillence - Parsimony - Stone IV - Ebuillence - Alacrity - Blizzard III - Alacrity - Thunder III, down went Gunther. He was able to cast and land 2 spells on me, one ate my Blink, the other did damage to me. No elixer used, but was ready to use incase. Macro's used, very vital for survival. Battle is, as mentioned before, a matter of luck as far as the element of the grimoire is. Can be a very hard first Limit Break to beat if it is you're first one. ~Kirschwasser 8/19/09 |
