Today I fought this with my linkshell so I decided I'd do some changes to the page including uploading a pic and deleting some bullshit about this being a VNM and it being poped with an abbyssite. It's popped with key items gained from other smaller NMs. Also wrote about it's 2 modes, an easy and a hard one. Due to one of our paladins dying we didn't have enough time to kill it within our timeframe. Fight overall took probably 5-10 mins in easy mode and another 5 to get it down to 80%, adjusting to it's new mode. --Kytio 20:23, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
I am assuming key items are lost upon popping Carabosse? --Rienfliche 04:09, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
Yep. --Kytio 19:47, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
Well this sucks, this better drop at least 5 gems! Fighting this guy for a 50% chance for 1 gem each time is something SE would do. considering everyone would need 50 gems, this will be a HUGE pain in arss... Ezzi 02:21, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
Screenshot on BG shows a drop of 2 gems. BG link Krizz 16:52, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
They could have gotten lucky and got full drops and it's 0-2 like Tier 3 VNM's or they could have gotten unlucky and it's 1-5 or something, who knows :( more people need to kill this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ezekius (talk • contribs).
Changed some of the info regarding the progression of the fight. Our first phase lasted until we took her down to 9% where she Bene'd 46k HP, leading me to believe she has ~50k HP. There is definitely a method to how she operates in terms of TP moves and her seasons in the second phase. Whether or not her job actually changes is up for debate, but I did notice her choice of attacks and spells absolutely changed depending on the season she used.
It also remains to be seen if she changes season based on her current HP. I wasn't paying total attention to that fact, but it seemed like every 25% she changed. She was at least in Autumn when under 50%, took her to 47%, nukes were healing her, and she started spamming cures up to 51% before I timed out. The information on her Winter Breeze isn't based on any observation I made, but is hearsay, so that part needs confirmation.--Mooffins 01:08, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
Question: Can the Twilight Scythe proc Death on her? Answer:
Regain
I dunno how it got Regain, but it is easily dispellable as well as Haste on BLM/RDM.
Nukes did about 200 each with me on BLM with Thunder IV in second phase and it does Mute (can't remove silence) and Silencega. It was a pretty tough fight. --Johnb1 03:06, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
- Summer Breeze gives a Regain effect if the mob has nothing to Erase; that's prolly where she got it. --Kyrie 03:21, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
I don't believe it's true that she only achieves Regain when she has nothing to Erase from herself. I was RDM fighting this last night and I made sure she constantly had Dia II, Slow II, Saboteur Paralyze, Blind II and Addle. I would just throw a Dispel whenever she changed phase and it'd either take off a Regain or a Regen. -- Orubicon 08:57, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
Testimonials
Beaten by a group of SAM/NIN, BLU/NIN, BLM/RDM, SMN/WHM, RDM/WHM - all Lv.85. Mages stay up a level on the ledge, and the melée take her down onto the ramp leading to conflux #4. The fight itself is really easy until she uses Benediction and then you notice her resistances shoot up, as well as a damage reduction trait come into effect.
It's a battle of attrition, wearing her down and keeping all of the melée healed, Hasted, Erased and buffed. As RDM I successfully landed Slow II, Addle, Blind II, Paralyze and Poison II, though the poison from Disseverment helps more if the BLU can keep it on. Dispel her as she changes jobs and keep on top of things and the fight isn't too hard.
Never used Breakga in our battle, just Silencega and Slowga. Tachi: Koki triggered red !! and Vorpal Blade triggered blue !!. Dropped Atma of Allure, Glittering Pixie Choker, Ryoshi Hachimaki, Afflictors and two Carabosse's Gem. -- Orubicon 09:09, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
Easy duo at 90, by a THF/NIN and RDM/SCH. Only issues were warrior mode, and aeroga III, half the time she just missed him with everything. THF should have temp items ready incase aeroga III gets in, took him down to red, but fast recover. Darkovercast 04:15, January 8, 2011 (UTC)
Very easy duo as Pup/Nin+Rdm/Whm lv 90. Atma: Pup with Siren Shadow, Razed Ruins and Future Fabulous, Rdm with Allure, Impregnable tower and Minikin Monstrosity. Carabosse could never hit me and Paralyze 2 affected her badly interrupting many spells. Aeroga3 put me in orange HP, but she was never a threat for the whole fight. Fun and easy.

Soloed on BST90/WHM45. Dipperyully (high wind resistance and evasion). RR, Sanguine Scythe and Apocalypse. Took 49 minutes. Used less than a stack of pet food. Melee after Autumn Breeze is fine and helps counter the cure spam. Best to stand back during the other phases. All-in-all a slow yet comfortable battle. Romon 12:13, March 10, 2011 (UTC)
Benediction
Fought this NM last night with LS, and it ended up using benediction twice in the same fight. We fought it down to about 10-15% during the first phase, and it bene'd. Then we fought it down to roughly the same % during phase 2, and it used benediction again. Either it was a glitch, or Carabosse can definitely use Benediction more than once per fight.
- Someone was probably fighting another Carabosse near you and it's Bene can hit yours. --Bekisa 04:33, August 9, 2011 (UTC)
