Possibly Weather Affected
Appearers to be a weather based spawn. I seen it De-pop on weather change from "Fire" to no weather. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mjr (talk • contribs).
Found it during Double Earth weather. Did not depop on change to Earth weather. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rinchuchu (talk • contribs).
I also encountered it during "double earth" but I did not wait for it to de-spawn. ^^ Sore wa sore, kore wa kore... 23:39, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
Spawned as Single Earth weather started. User:Tomiko
No weather, I passed the area as BST/WHM looking for G.birds and didn't see Dahu up. Passed again some time later during single Earth weather and it appeared at the very top of (D-9). -- Orubicon 01:30, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
Definately appears to spawn during earth weather only, single or double.
Found at J-6 during single earth weather. Was not there an hour prior during no weather. Enilanerda
Found at L-6 on widescan during weather while scanning zone on chocobo, when I got close and prepared to engage weather dropped and Dahu depopped. User:Grenadier86
Pops only during weather, confirmed December 10, 2009. Camped all day on Rng killed 7 times only popped during weather. User:Grenadier86
Magic Defense
High magic defense: Fire III 283 damage, Fire IV 432 damage. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rinchuchu (talk • contribs).
I did 363 with Thunder III and 465 with Blizzard III, as a 75RDM/37BLM with not even my best "nuke" gear on. Not sure if I'd call it a high defense? Didn't do much tests since I had a level 61 Paladin with me so I was conserving my mana to keep her alive. :] Sore wa sore, kore wa kore... 23:39, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
5/5 Wind Blade, 5/5 Pet Magic Attack Bonus Merits and ACP body with Pet Mag Att/Acc +7. Wind Blade only did 543 which at that time with TP, is about ~40% of the expected damage. Possible pet resist, I only got to do 1 Wind Blade, but more than likely I'll have to agree to a High Magic Defense for this NM. Enilanerda

- Fun solo NIN56/DNC28, constantly healing self so no tp for weaponskills, slow steady fight took 15 minutes.
Enemy uses Great Sandstorm only and seems to have a Regain (Status Effect) allowing this to be spammed, this was much worse at less than 25% hp. Great Sandstorm also applies Blind (Status Effect) which can hurt your ability to Curing Waltz. Recommend bring Eye Drops and Regen from Fields of valor. My gear consisted of +32 AGI which allowed Utsusemi: Ni to last the full cooldown time. No ninja de-buffs used.

- Bumped into this thing in the middle of (I-6) on my way to other places. Easily defeated as 75RDM/37BLM without even a sword, using an elemental staff accompanied with a 61PLD. Was missing most of the melee hits directed on the Red Mage and did 50-100 with Great Sandstorm spammage, which respectively did on the Paladin around 150~ points of damage.
We both received 24 points of experience/limit points even with the Paladin having her adventuring fellow out. Dropped no loot whatsoever... Sore wa sore, kore wa kore... 00:27, November 16, 2009 (UTC) - Found at (L-6) as BST/NIN, Double Earth Weather, 40 XP but really not problems. --Ctownwoody 02:20, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
