• Easily duoable with RDM/NIN (No Ni) and WHM/BLM (Using Elemental for Aspir) Went in order of BLM->DRK->SMN but would suggest BLM->SMN->DRK, Astral Flow did 210 Damage without shadows or stoneskin, phalanx only.
• I did this whole thing on my WHM, so the "Note" under Strategies is moot. RyoRiazaku 03:19, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
• Easily Soloed by a SAM/DNC. Use a Strong GKT to begin with. 200tp + Sekkanoki on the BLM. Then 2 hour, and solo light. This should kill him. Switch to soboro and solo the DRK, then finish off with the SMN. Easy fight.
  • Just attempted SAM/DNC using this strategy. I got slammed with magic from the SMN while trying to solo the DRK with soboro after BLM died. Seigan and Third Eye failed me with their double team effort. I couldn't get enough TP to keep curing myself. It isn't an easy fight so prepare by bringing meds such as hi potions, etc.
  • I'd imagine the particular problem here is the sam/dnc above was probly 75 with capped skill and possibly a Hagun, caution should be exercised on any Testimonials, as they are offten lax in benificial details Milotheshort 18:20, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Soloed on 75 SAM/DNC while re-questing my AF so I can NPC store. Entered with 300TP and Meditate recharged. Used Hagun for the opening volley plus 2HR then Soboro for remainder of fight. Targeted BLM first, Rana > Gekko > Darkness + 2HR > Yuki > Gekko > Frag killed it. Switched to Onki did Kasha, then put on Soboro, Meditated and used TP to heal. One more Kasha plus some melee hits killed Onki quickly. Rasetsu was last who was very easy at this point. HP dropped as low as 200HP (right when I killed BLM), but recovered quickly once down to 2 NMs. It was a bit dicey... Have 304 GKT skill, max Store TP and Meditate merits, 3/5 Usukane... not to be attempted by an AH SAM. I did set a server record for the moment! 7:14 for a solo run beat out the Duo holding the record at 7:34. Hope this helps people wanting to solo. --Gregedor 18:45, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

• Can be duo by a MNK and a RDM or WHM. Have the MNK go in first to gain hate from all the mobs. The MNK should eat Tavnazian Taco or some other DEF food. By going in first, only enmity to the RDM or WHM will be gained by the mob the MNK attacks. RDM or WHM keep SMN's pet slept. Kill SMN last.

• Can also be duo by a level 70+ PLD and WHM with some difficulty. Regen III and Haste will need to be kept on PLD also WHM will need Stoneskin up when Repose SMN Elemental. No food is needed but does help, WHM use at least 2 yagudo drinks or sub SMN for Refresh. Kill each NM in the recommended order as seen above. If DRK 2hr, it is best for PLD to use their 2hr so Blood Weapon has no effect. To save some MP, WHM can 2hr when DRK NM remains or when needed. If done correctly the fight should last no longer then 16-18 minutes.

• Duo by 75PLD/WAR and 75WHM/SMN - dont use Defender as it will reduce your damage too much. Also, if you have Spirit Taker it helps with your MP when it gets low (if you can switch between sword/shield and staff quickly). Chivalry a plus to make it go faster. Took 13 minutes

• Duo'd rather easily by 75 THF/NIN or 75 PLD/WHM and 75 BST/NIN using CourierCarrie and Pahluwan Seraweels. Send CourierCarrie in first to get hate from DRK and SMN, and fight BLM together, then move to DRK, then SMN.

• Easily Duo'd by a 75rdm/blu with defense build and any healer.

• Easily Solo'd by a 75rdm/blu with defense build by binding the DRK and sleeping the elemental while killing the BLM and the SMN, then the DRK. The whole fight took 16 minutes, didn't have to even use Convert.

• Solo'd w/o any problems by a bst/nin. Be sure to use opo neck and sleep to 100tp and also use hi-pots (10 or so should be fine) I had a temp axe, but sure it just made it a little easier. CC was pet used, be sure to get timer back down before engaging cause you will have to resummon another one.

• Soloing as 75BST proved very difficult because CC wouldn't focus on one mob and Burst tore CC apart. A 75WHM friend came and we duoed them no problem. Still had to call CC twice, so make sure to wait for the recast timer.

• 0/5 with 4 HP's on solo'n as bst/nin. /whm. 60k+ in meds per run. Burst eats CC to fast.
• Killed SMN first as bst. This greatly helped but 0/6 i quit when CC died to burst.

• Solo'd by MNK/DNC easily using a Tavnazian Taco, killing Gaki (BLM) first to build TP on, .Rasetsu (DRK) second, and .Onki (SMN) last.

• Duo'd with 2 Lv. 75 SMN/WHM Full Buffs Earthern Ward + Aerial Armor. Both Summoners Garuda Predator Claw Summoner(Onki) kill it then one summoner take Rasetsu (DRK) and the other take Gaki (BLM).

• Duo'd easily with 75BLU/PLD & 75RDM/NIN with the (BLU) Using a [Tavnazian Taco]. Blue Mage walks in an agros all the mobs. Red Mage pulls off (BLM), fight goes on from there. Very easy fight.

• Duo'd easily by 75DNC/NIN 71SMN/WHM. Common sense and Predator Claw it's pretty easy.

• Duo'd easily by 75WAR/NIN and 75RDM/NIN. RDM kites SMN and DRK with gravity and bind. WAR kills BLM then DRK then SMN. Really easy.
• Duo'd by a 75PLD/DNC and a 75THF/NIN, THF using Sleep Bolt's and kiting SMN and DRK When DRK(Rasetsu) 2hrs. 11min fight.
• Duo'd by 75RDM/WHM & 75PUP/WAR. Rdm casted bind and gravity on the SMN and DRK while PUP killed the BLM, followed by SMN then DRK last.
• Duo'd by 73SMN/WHM & 75 RDM/NIN (SAM60 did minimal damage and died fast). RDM tanked BLM Demon, Start of fight SAM annoyed DRK, SMN killed Demon SMN with Leviathan Spinning Dive x2, Killed DRK with combination of Garuda Predator's Claw, 2x Carbuncle (ran out of MP), 2 houred and killed DRK as RDM finished the BLM demon. Very tough fight, both used Marron Glace at start (Hume RDM, Elvaan SMN). Not a recommended setup as is.. Both RDM & SMN were out of MP at end even after RDM Converted in middle of fight. Fun though.

• Solo'd by 75SMN/WHM.Attacked SMN Demon 1st. Predator Claws took off 80% Hp > astral Flow set off. Leave Garuda to finish off the Smn. Run away to the Exit & wait until Garudas Hp bar is visible then release. All hate on Demons was lost at this point and the Remaining 2 (Blm & Drk) returned to starting point. Rest to Full again. Then attack the Blm Demon with 2 Predator claws. Leaving the Drk alone to kite with Carby and Mix of Predator Claws when Mp becomes available. Fight took 12 mins! No 2hr used and no Meds used.[21st Jan 2009]

• Duo with 75 PLD/DNC + 75 RDM/WHM. PLD used Taco and slept to 100 tp before the fight. The PLD aggro all the demons first before engaging. This allowed the healer to cure without enmity gain. Kill order was BLM > DRK > SMN. Killing the BLM was a bit rough due to the higher tier magic damage and the other demons also hitting the PLD. Once BLM died, the fight got much easier. Atonement was doing a 700+ damage each time. Razorcat 18:47, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

• Duo with 75 NIN/DNC + 73 WHM/BLM. NIN used a Tavnazian Taco and was equipped with +20% Haste gear. NIN ran in to get hate from all three demons. WHM slept the SMN demon's elemental with Repose. Order killed was BLM > DRK > SMN. WHM stayed out of range of astral flow when only SMN was left.

• Easily duoed as THF/NIN and RDM/WHM. THF aggros all mobs at start. RDM sleeps the elemental, then gravity/bind kites the SMN. THF kills BLM, then DRK, and then SMN. Evasion gear not required for the THF, the mobs have terrible accuracy against a 75 THF. Spells from the DRK and BLM are the only concern regarding keeping shadows up.DarkJax 04:20, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

• Easy fight with 75 SMN/WHM 75 DRK/BLM 75 NIN/DNC 64 COR/DNC.

• Duo with 75SMN/WHM + 75SAM/WAR. SAM kept out of range of Astral Flow while SMN used Garuda + Predator Claws; once SMN demon's 2-hour went off SAM solo-skillchained the BLM. SMN and BLM demons died about the same time and the DRK went down fast. --Macc 15:38, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

• Duo with 75DRG/WHM and 75RDM/BLU. Buffed outside and rested and went on in. RDM kept max DEF up and ate Tav. Taco, I (DRG) didn't even use food at all. RDM intiated agro and slept the elemental and kited the DRK and the SMN. I took to attacking the BLM, he was easy enough just fighting him normally, no special fighting stratergy was used, healing when needed. After the BLM was vanquished, I stripped the DRK off the RDM, same as the BLM, he wasn't tough at all, his accuracy was fairly shocking aswell, I'd say he missed 50% of the fight, with no Evasion Gear (Except Askar Body). After he fell, i took the SMN off the RDM, who had been kiting all this time, very easily, keeping up DEF and sleeping the elemental, he didn't move to the yellow once. The SMN was a joke... I'm talking like i took 10% of his HP after every attack... he was raped... a nice way to finsh the battle, with Astral Flow only doing 100 Damage to me with Shell IV only. After his death, the battle was won in just above 8 minutes... Too Weak~ And then we're left to wonder... where was that Ninja during the fight... Good Luck on this BCNM^^ --Rufusruferson 13:19, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

• Did this twice as MNK75/dnc. 1st solo, 2nd w/ a rdm75/whm friend. Used God armor (kabuto, sune ate, haidate) for ele resistence mainly. Used Tav Tacoo, boosted 6times and went in Chi Blast blm. Drain Samba II, dodge, focus, hundred fists. First set of TP went into Asuran Fists to speed things up. After BLM down i retraced to entrance so i could reraise just in case. DRK hit for 100-200 a swing, draining 100 durin Blood Weapon. With the DRk down you could go afk as the SMN did almost nothing threatening. He used Fire Ele and summoned Ifrit (~100dmg). Took about 8mins 50ish. Darks day, new moon. 2nd try was random day and moon, fire ele and Ifrit again, this time having prot4/shell4 and haste as well as a sucky elvaan rdm/whm adding some pathetic nukage it was even easier, ending in about 5mins. Strategy, equip and fight was almost identical tho. Neither Tav Taco nor reraise item was needed, just in case. . . --Catslave

• Soloed by me as 75 PLD/RDM, kept stoneskin, phalanx, and aquaveil up for the whole fight. Took out smn first, saving fealty for when it got to 60% hp for its astral flow, then took out blm then drk, nothing special on those other then standard defensive stuff. I am decently geared, and had to chivalry when blm was almost dead, but overall not much of a strain. --AsuranRtm 19:55, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
