- Killed with 5: PLD/NIN, PLD/NIN, WHM/SCH, RDM/WHM, SMN/SCH. Easy fight, if done right. Avoid putting more than the necessary amount of people on this. It spams various AoE spells that will make it a huge MP sync. One pld stayed on while the other helped cure and was there for backup just in case, because it hit so hard that even with the heals we had, 2 shot was a possibility. RDM cast Water1 to change it to water, and it'll cast nothing but water4, poisonga, and Waterga3. RDM was there for the sole purpose to keep an eye on it using a T4 spell on itself to cure itself. When it does, quickly cast a different elemental spell, and it'll damage itself for about 7% of its own health, instead of curing itself. Other than that, watch out for its Blood Weapon. It gains a tremendous attack speed boost when it does so.
- Killed with 4: MNK/NIN, WHM/SCH, RDM/WHM, BRD/DRK. WHM and RDM were dual boxed. Save TP on monk for WS to interupt casting, and abuse Counterstance to make utsu casting easier. Stun any -agas and it should be managable. Stuns and flashes during Blood Weapon help, too. -- MithraDooom, 11.11, March 31, 2010.
The main page says that the mob changes element depending on a spell previously cast on it. Perhaps it would cast Ice Spikes (dangerous without a dispel available) if Ice was used on it prior? Shock spikes could be similarly troublesome. I have a pop for him now so hopefully I can get an attempt on him this evening, will post findings if so.--Aiyana-Bahamut 02:32, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
I've landed stuns on BLM. Definitely not immune, but I don't have enough experience with this NM to call it resistant.--Pearlsea 00:06, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
Just duo'd this to ~40% with blu/nin and rdm/whm. Staying on top of shadows is the most important thing, but head butt works well, so when it two hours, use actinic burst and spam head butt to stop him spamming his attacks so fast, for the rest of the fight still spam head butt (decent damage on skeles) but save actinic burst for when he strips your shadows with one of his many AOE TP moves and ni isn't up. If tanking as blu, make sure the support is on top of blindna for black cloud. Definitely don't suggest duo, it's possible, but he likes to cheat sometimes and make things difficult. Casting a T1 spell on him as he's casting a T4 is a very neat little trick though, let's hope they don't gimp that lol --Blazza 13:30, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
