Duo with 75SAM/DNC Galka and 60WHM/BLM Mithra. The first time we fought this guy, we got him down to a sliver of health, but the whm ran out of the MP and I couldn't keep up with [[Curing Waltz II]]. This time we came prepared with some yag drinks and a few Hi-pots +1. Started by clearing room, buffs, called NPC (60 Soothing Healer) and ate a [[Coeurl Sub]]. With the Whm using [[Afflatus Solace]], it gave me an occasional stoneskin that was able to absorb some of the [[Dimensional Death]] (huge help!). This guy is no joke for a duo! I only used WS's when [[Meditate]] or [[Sekkanoki]] were available and only if I just used [[Seigan]]+[[Third Eye]]. This guy doesn't miss very often and every hit was very close to 200, with [[Dimensional Death]] doing well into the 300's. Lets not forget about his magic, which I couldn't interrupt at all. Both fights he used [[Manafont]] at about 75% health and all I can say is just hold on.....he used a couple ga III spells and then other III's directed at me. I thought we would get wise before the fight, so I had the whm cast [[Barthundra]]....but he didn't use it on our second attempt. The Whm cured my NPC a couple times as she was able to freely do WS's (don't forget: to cure someone's NPC, you have engage the parties target). It was another close battle that lasted about 10 mins, with no other respawns in the room. He spams [[Dimensional Death]] towards the end, so I responded with [[Meikyo Shisui]] and my Hi-Pots. I have a little over 1500 HP and finished with ~500 and the Whm and NPC were completely out of MP. I actually called for [[Benediction]] as I was finishing [[Meikyo Shisui]], but I ended up defeating him on my last [[Tachi: Gekko]]. I have [[Third Eye]] and [[Curing Waltz II]] on macro next to each other and just jumped back and forth between the two the whole fight, ready or not. My gear is nothing special, but I do have a [[Soboro Sukehiro]] and a few merits on GK and evasion. Good luck!--[[User:Robfire|Robfire]] 18:31, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
   
 
Confirmed to use Waterga III. Read through this page and was slightly taken aback from all the negative testimonials. Asked a few friends to help and they all denied due to the 'difficulty' of this NM and his ability to kill an entire alliance supposedly. Went with in a THF/NIN with an Evasion build, MNK/NIN, WAR/NIN, RDM/NIN and quadded him with ease. Only person that took damage was me, the THF when I popped him. Started the fight with Waterga III. Ran out of range to avoid getting the other's hit. Other than that, this NM is a joke. Some of these testimonials seem unreal. [[User:Xenophire|Xenophire]] 10:04, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Can be solod by a skilled 75BST/WHM. Fight will almost take 40-60 mins. Have to literally kyte this around the whole map. --Existenz 13:34, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Took it out as RDM75/NIN25 using shadows to blink spells while kiting this thing. If you attempt to melee it, hits that land on you might proc. his en-aspir. The en-aspir effect (with zero dark resistance and not on darksday) did in the 100's consistently. The NM won't engage you in melee if you're not in range until about 50% or less. Before it's near the red-yellow HP zone, it will opt to cast spells and not even attempt to walk over to you (except to close the gap to cast its spells). So, you can avoid casting gravity on it until it starts actively trying to engage you for melee. It will still try to cast spells, so you will still have ample time to run away and recast longer spells (like refresh or stoneskin or cure IV or shadows). On spells that your shadows will absorb, you can take the opportunity to cast your DoT spells (one at a time). It took a really long time to win, though. It was over an hour, but it was safe (mostly because you can almost always get away from his -ga spells). I used the open area around (F-10) and (G-10) and ran the mob in a circuit through the passage at (F-9). There are lots of columns and things in the open area that the NM can get slowed down going around. That's critical for the part where he's actually trying to engage you to melee. --Lirmont 05:46, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

He has some crazy stun resistance. I couldn't stick a stun with Violent Flourish even stacking to level 5 Stutter Step and equipped with Etoile Casaque. If he isn't immune, I don't think it would be possible to stun him without Elemental Seal. Fortunately his -ga spells are only tier 2 and as such fairly weak. --Fetaru 09:43, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

solo by Lv.75 NIN/DNC with minor difficulties from -ga spells, solo by 75 SMN ( Carby kite ) or 72 RDM/NIN, Duoable by 75 SAM/NIN & 55 WHM, Party: 75DRG/SAM, 75WHM/BLM, 57WHM/BLM using Benediction x2, Spirit Surge and Devotion (with some difficulties).

Seriously doubt any NIN/DNC can solo this nm. I tried it today after reading this page, and between Dimensional Death spam and all the GA spells it was just too much. I had my lvl 70 NPC with me as well so I was hasted and got 3 cure V's. I died at 45%.Gregrowe 21:57, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

I was the one who soloed it as NIN/DNC and updated the wiki accordingly. Just use an evasion setup and store TP to cure yourself for the -ga spells. It definitely wasn't just luck.


Just duod as 75BST/NIN with 70RDM/WHM friend, took around 25 min. RDM debuffed, healed, and used Gravity, I called a total of 5 CCs and used 1 Pet Food Zeta on each. Kited while waiting for cooldown on Call Beast and used bats to keep it busy though they proved worthless. EdwoodtheInebriated 03:27, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Just killed it in around 10 minutes as PLD75/DNC37 with WHM55 and healer NPC70. It spammed Dimensional Death at the end of the fight, but PLD's HP never was under 50% --Imoq 02:14, 22 June 2009 (UTC).

Did this last night as a 75PLD/37DNC as well with a 58 WHM and NPC. My fight didn't go as smoothly the other since I finished the fight with 200 some HP. He seemed rather stubborn, if you try this fight and need to buy some time for the whm to get some MP or wanna get some HP back up, you can take on the bat and the golem during the fight with drain samba, since drain samba will not work on the NM itself. -Kioshi

Duoed by a SAM75/DNC37 and a WHM58/BLM20 with some difficulty. SAM focused on damage and healed whenever it got messy, WHM focused upon healing (using Afflatus SOlace) and keeping the SAM hasted. 2 Yagudo Drinks and 2 Ginger Cookies used by the WHM during the course of the fight. Had to move the NM mid fight due to Shadow respawning. Took about 20 minutes.

Duoed, RNG/NIN & BST/DNC with level 68 healer npc. Fight took about 5 minutes. Standard sidewinder> barrage> sidewinder> EES took him pretty much to 50%, which caused him to 2hour. Since this got me plenty of hate, it was easy to kite out the spells west down the long hallway. BST had full pet affinity merits and used fungar pet that tanked most of the fight. Waku Sept 4th 2009

Soloed as 75RDM/NIN direct tanking dual wielding Joyeuse and Guespiere with ease. Fight took about 25 minutes. Make sure to cancel Composure after buffing up to shorten Utsusemi recasts, also Slow II helps greatly. Started off with 300% Spirits Within and then kept using Savage Blade everytime hitting 100% TP. Got hit by En-Aspir once, took 142 MP, keep shadows up at all times. --Waseph September 6th 2009

Successfully Soloed with ease as 75COR/BLM via Quick Draw Kiting - Had Movement Speed+ to get out of range quickly of aga spells, and then waited for it to run into QD range before firing. Stops a lot to try and cast so just be patient and QD then run out of range of it's next spell. Keep Dancer's Roll ready in the event it lands Bio II or Poison II as they are a bit trickier to run out of range of. Took about 40 min, Water Shots with NQ Water Staff, Moldavite Earring, and AF Hat were hitting for a reliable 330 each without Wizard's Roll.

Duoed as PLD75/DNC37 in Magic Defense set and SAM75/DNC37, with both our NPCs helping as Soothing Healers of level 60+. Killed him in about 6 to 7 minutes. Eirwen 20:31, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
