BLU/NIN is a good solo, just bring some meds. Used a Tavnazian Taco and one Yagudo Drink. Put up Stoneskin, Utsusemi, and Cocoon. Sheep Song the dragon, then Bludgeon/Head Butt the eye. Should only take about 4 or 5 Bludgeons. The dragon will wake up either just before it dies or right after, so make sure to be ready to sleep again. Pop the Yagudo Drink and rest up. Make sure you have Soporific and Poison Breath for Clear Mind. You should be able to Head Butt/Bludgeon it to death without resting again. If your health gets low, disengage and sleep it again to rest up. Only thing to watch out for is getting Stoned. A clean run with no second rest needed took about 8 minutes. --[[User:JTimmons|JTimmons]] 19:29, 1 July 2008 (UTC) |

If you're not an ace solo DRG/WHM... I found a BLM sleeper, a RNG and a THF/NIN very able to trio the dragon fight in about 4 and a half minutes. The naked BLM did Elemental Seal + Sleep (on the dragon, natch). The THF and RNG plugged away with Acid and Venom Bolts on the ahriman until it died. Then the RNG woke the dragon with Eagle Eye Shot for 220 damage, about 15% of its health. The RNG tanked briefly while the THF positioned and finished building TP for Sneak Attack + Fast Blade, doing 218 damage. Now the THF was tanking - Pefect Dodge turned out to be unnecessary, despite under-level gear - and keeping himself alive with Bloody Bolts. Somebody got Petrified briefly somewhere in there, but it was not an issue, and we all walked out alive. |

If you're not an ace solo DRG/WHM... I found a BLM sleeper, a RNG and a THF/NIN very able to trio the dragon fight in about 4 and a half minutes. The naked BLM did Elemental Seal + Sleep (on the dragon, natch). The THF and RNG plugged away with Acid and Venom Bolts on the ahriman until it died. Then the RNG woke the dragon with Eagle Eye Shot for 220 damage, about 15% of its health. The RNG tanked briefly while the THF positioned and finished building TP for Sneak Attack + Fast Blade, doing 218 damage. Now the THF was tanking - Pefect Dodge turned out to be unnecessary, despite under-level gear - and keeping himself alive with Bloody Bolts. Somebody got Petrified briefly somewhere in there, but it was not an issue, and we all walked out alive.
MNK/NIN soloed this no problem. Buffed with Focus, Dodge, Utsusemi and Icarus Wing (not completely necessary in hindsight, but helps nonetheless), ate Sole Sushi, targeted Seeker, popped a Pamama Au Lait and entered the BC. Combo for about 100, hit Hundred Fists...eye was down about 20 seconds later. Dragon only hit me 4 times while engaged with the eye, for an average of about 40dmg per attack. Its ACC was not as bad when I was engaged directly with it and it was averaging about 35dmg per attack (its spikes were doing 10-12dmg per swing as well). I needed 5 HiPot+3's during the tangle with the Dark Dragon and was left with 281/589HP. When I redo this fight again for Sandy missions I think I'll try /war for a little more DEF & ATTK vs. 3 shadows that I never bothered to recast. Battlefield Clear Time: 6:29 (includes CS, buffs, last-minute indecision XD).
My gear for the fight was: Republic Knucks, Emp Pin, Spike Neck, Beetle+1 ear x2, Power Gi, Battle Gloves, Courage Ring x2, Nomad Mantle, Purple Belt, Republic Sub, Fed. Kyahan. Good luck! Hope this helps. ** Brewtus 11:29, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
