- Took Amhuluk on tonight with an alliance of 14 even though there was very little/no information on this NM. Pulled him down below the cliff where he spawns, with tanks and melee's below. He proceeded to wipe all the melee except the two paladins with Vermillion Wind x2. Managed to slowly bring him down with magic and ranged damage from the cliff ledge, with melees attacking when possible by standing on the edge of the cliff to hit him. All of his AoEs including magic were blocked by the height difference, though his AoE magic didn't seem terribly strong, Aeroga IV only hitting one paladin with MDB gear on for about 600 damage. Fight was slow but simple enough once stuns were in order and we kept him below. Does do very heavy damage due to TP spam, causing hate to sometimes be a problem, can also kill a paladin with silence > Verimillion Windx2 + attacks quite quickly. Under 25% he went pretty much berserk with TP abilities, wiping both Paladins at 9%, managed to finish him off with BLM nukes before he completely wiped the alliance. Coin of Balance and Rapidus Sax for our troubles. A fun, but very damaging NM, note that the AoEs can also be avoided by standing at 15-20+ range from Amhuluk. Vermillion Wind is also too fast to reasonably stun. Uploaded image and included information on the main page for this NM. --Lunaretic 06:35, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
Can be duoed by MNK/NIN (Heard /WAR can work too) and RDM/whatever, use terrain difference stated on main page to avoid TP moves. Keep Addle on, Para does stick but requires a lot of accuracy and you will not get a good stick (or proc) rate. It's really not worth the trouble. Poison2 lands np as stated on main page. Didn't try anything else since page said resistant. There's really nothing to this NM, with Shell4 and MDT set his magic doesn't do much and is quickly healed. Tried throwing nukes too but they did very low damage in contrast to almost everything I nuke in Abyssea, so magic DD are probably not effective or he's a really high level, high enough that even with dark arts my nukes weren't doing much. --Lithical 02:45, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
