Soloable by

LV 55 THF/27 RDM. Using Blink to get some shadows, Protect for what it's worth, and Regen to keep from dying instantly, it's possible to run in, click the ???, get the item, and run back out before being KO'd. The creatures seem to have a small chase radius.

All 3 G2 mobs can be easily soloable (yet the fight can be very long) by a RDM75/NIN37, having a WHM or /WHM in party help a lot for Paralyna

I did all three as 75WAR/DNC and "average" gear. With Defender you should be able to heal faster than you lose HP. I had a few close calls, most notably when I got paralyzed and when I got hit by whatever spells they used (It's been a while, but I remember getting hit by some tier of blizzaga spell). --Pseudopod 01:05, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

Hound soloable by:

I'm yet to test the other two, but the Hound is soloable by a WHM/NIN without Utsusemi: Ni, it just takes a long time and most of your MP (even with a Noble's Tunic or Cleric's Briault).Crayne 00:14, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

WHM/BLM 75 taru, solo'd all three of them fairly easily. 200+ mp left over at lowest point. noble's tunic only refresh. granted, does take time. however it's not too difficult if you're not fighting with strength in mind, more lasting longer. Bio II, stoneskin, flash / stoneskin when it wears, blaze spikes, slow, paralyze, silence, etc. decent melee gear helps as well. all 3 of these were lowered in difficulty with an update in 2008 i think it was.. so with any 75 job it shouldn't be too difficult if done well.

• (comment)-its not soloing if someone is curing you inside outside of a pt, take caution when attempting to solo.
• Solo'd By RNG65/NIN32 used Barrage on all three NM's for most of thier health, bloody bolts thereafter.

Quest can be done solo now

Now that the ??? markers are not dependent on killing the Boreal creatures, this quest can be done solo. I just did this alone as a PLD55/DNC27 by running into the creature's territory, activating the marker to get the key item, and running out until the Boreal creature gives up the chase. I realize that other jobs may have a harder time dealing with the damage dealt each time (approx 200~300 HP for me), but it is possible. AstyGadget (talk) 10:46, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

It's really easy now with trusts:

1: Put out trusts

2: Attack NM, hit once, unlock, run to the ???, then disengage

3: Get ???

4: PROFIT and run away. The NM will lose hate very quickly and may not even Draw In.

If you are on SMN, BST, or PUP, you can just sic your pet on the NM for step 2, no need to attack.
