Talk:Aht Urhgan Mission 15: The Black Coffin

Strategies

This is not a difficult fight. I did it with the following setup:
DRG70/WHM35
THF75/NIN37
MNK75/WAR37
BLM75/WHM37
PLD70/WAR35
WAR75/NIN37

Yea... no main healer. The BLM (me) main healed and no one died... or even got close to dying. Each of the 5 ppl took one mob each and when their mob died, that person moved on to help someone else until all 5 mobs were dead.

• Easily duo'd with a MNK/NIN and WHM/SCH. Keep counterstance up, MNK will super tank all of them. I attacked the middle one first so that they were all in view for counterstance. Just killed them one by one, kept shadows up. I used normal TP gear, acc/att no evasion. I also had black belt but I doubt that will make much of a difference. As long as you have a good healer, keeps you alive and hastes you then you should be good.

• Decently geared PLD/BLU eating Tavnazian Tacos with Phalanx II can easily supertank all the mobs while everyone else slowly picks mobs off one by one. Mobs will hit the pld for 0-1 points of damage, no outside support needed.
• If you have a BLM in your party, save Elemental Seal + Sleepga II for when the captain comes out. This will make things a lot easier.
  • Alternatively, use it at the beginning, then kite the last mob of the first round until Elemental Seal is ready again. Note: This may prove difficult with Gessho attacking, as he may kill the last mob before Elemental Seal is ready.
  • Also, a well-off WHM can Elemental Seal + Sleepga the mobs if they wake up early.
  • You may also opt to let your WHM Elemental Seal + Sleepga on the 1st wave of fomors, then let your BLM do his/her Elemental Seal + Sleepga II on the 2nd wave when the captain comes in. You may do it in the reverse order if desired.
• A 75 BRD, even with full merits and an Apollo's Staff will have a terrible time trying to Lullaby the Fomors, as they seem to be very resistant to Horde Lullaby.

• Save 2hr's for when the captain comes out. This will again ensure the fight goes smoothly.
• Most level 70+ players should be able to solo one of the Crew with no trouble.
• Duoable by two 75 BSTS with Icarus Wing and one Max-Potion or Hi-Elixir.
  • Kill the last Ashu Talif Marine of the first wave at the top.
  • Let the second wave of crews aggro Gessho, and attack Ashu Talif Captain. Eventually, Gessho will die and enmity will shift to one of the BSTs, but it doesn't matter, keep your focus on the Captain and use your TP.
• Trioable by THF75/NIN37, RDM75/BLM37, and PLD73/WAR36.
  • The Thief did a good job as Evasion tank; used 2hr when in a tight spot.
  • The Red Mage's Elemental Seal + Sleepga worked on first round of Ash Talif Crew; allowed Gessho to solo the last Fomor until Elemental Seal timer was reset. Convert and 2hr were unnecessary the entire fight.
  • Paladin with Tavnazian Tacos and some STR gear was able to DD/tank, switching to normal tanking gear when necessary. 2hr was also unnecessary.
• Sch/blm Whm/blm Brd/whm Pld/war Thf/nin War/nin
  • Whm Elemental Seal + Sleepga /w the Brd Sleep songs
  • From there DD's /assisted Gessho
  • At that time Sch AoE-Bind Blind = Hate to sch. Then the sch has to kite them all till the Captain spawns
  • When Captain comes out Sch Elemental Seal + AoE Sleep2
  • Then DD's 2h and go at it ^^
• NIN/WAR , RDM/BLM , RDM/BLM , BST/NIN , MNK/NIN all 75 can do it smoothly without any trouble at all
  • did sleepga thing right at the beginning but did not last long so everybody got a fomor and the BST/NIN can do 2 fomors at a time
  • Once the first fomors are dead , a new set of fomors spawns right away and the NIN provoked the captain while the members assisted him except the BST who was taking care of 2 of the spawned fomors , NPC is soloing another formor and the MNK is tanking the last fomor
  • when BST,MNK finished with the fomors they joined the captain fight.
  • Finally , it was a very easy fight we did use sleepga but it is not mandatory at all just need at least 1 healer and the rest can be Damage Dealers with nin sub .
• Duoed by RDM75/BLU33 and NIN75/DNC37 with some difficulty.--Zmn
  • RDM super tanked all crews using def. food, Cocoon, Phalanx, and Ice spikes achieving around 550 defense. They mostly hit for zero damage with some hits going up to 20.
  • NIN used attack setup for first round of crews, and used evasion setup for the captain.
  • We didn't kill crews in the second round. We only focused on captain because of time constrain.
  • Valcan shot from captain did around 700 damage to NIN. He may use another sword WS like vorpal blade for 500 damage right after valcan shot. Those two WS's together can kill a NIN tank.
  • Try to keep Gessho alive if possible, so that he can contribute to the overall damage.
  • Try to seperate crews from captain so that when the captain uses 2 hour Wild card they won't all have 300 tp. Plus, Gussho will attack the captain instead of another crew if the captain is the only one in his range.
• Tried this earlier today with a PUG *Pick Up Group*. Valoredge can tank a Fomor if you time your Light Maneuvers (had 2 up at all times) Only had to use Repair once. PUG didn't bother to listen, so the Captain's wave wtfwiped us (it was a Trio, and i was only going to test it, so no love lost for it :P)
  • Just Duoed with 2 RDM/BLM not any trouble at all
• Attempted solo as SAM80/DNC40. I had time to meditate to 300% and wait for it to come off cooldown again. As soon as I drew my sword to engage the enemy, Gessho started attacking. I tossed him an occasional heal, but he went down quickly. I tanked the entire first wave with extreme ease. Using my evasion gear setup [capped evasion for SAM80 ~+50 evasion from gear], all fomors were reduced to near-minimum hit rate. Did not even need Seigan/Third Eye, fulltimed Hasso. After the first wave, I tried to take the captain down as quickly as possible, but only managed ~40% of his life after using sekkanoki/sengikori and 2HR. Probably would have worked better if I didn't derp and use soboro during 2HR, or if I let Gessho supertank the second wave for what little time he could buy me.

Ashu Talif Crew's jobs

The jobs for the Ashu Talif Crews are incorrect. I'm pretty sure that for the second wave, the Fomors are, from left to right: Hume RNG, Hume RNG, Elvaan Captain (COR), Mithra RDM, Hume MNK. The Hume's jobs might be mixed up, but I'm fairly sure that's it. Can't say for the first wave. --Jopasopa 19:48, 30 December 2006 (EST)
