Notes:
- Spawned by trading a Raw Buffalo to a ??? at (E-6) in Mount Zhayolm.
- To reach the ??? you must go through Halvung entering at G-7 and following the path west to re-exit on Vozold Island.
- When the ??? is examined it says "A stifling stench pervades the air."
- Uses the songs: Nullsong, Lodesong, Thornsong, Voidsong, Horde Lullaby, Maiden's Virelai and Chaos Blade.
- Can be stunned.
- Gravity and Bind will land, but Anantaboga will build up a full resistance to both if you continually re-apply them.
- Make sure everyone has Poison Potions. It will Horde Lullaby quite often.
- Be ready to Sleep party members that become Charmed. Charm affects a single target.
- Nullsong will do 200+ even with shadows as buff. Don't use food or buffs.
- Avoid Silencing it and using weaponskills that silence such as Tachi: Gekko and Guillotine. When silenced it will unlock every dragon move, particularly Petro Eyes, Body Slam, Heavy Stomp, etc. Body Slam will hit for upwards of 1500.
- Chaos Blade has a strong curse effect and should be removed immediately.
- The zone at E-6 used to enter the island can be used advantageously in the fight. Pulling Anantaboga back to this location is highly suggested as fighting near the pop location risks aggroing one of the several Dahaks. Mages can zone hate and weakened members can rest inside Halvung without danger. Repeatedly zoning and casting DoTs can also be used to hold Anantaboga should the party or alliance fall and need to recover. Virelai can also be evaded by zoning.
- PLDs should avoid using Fealty. The job ability doesn't block songs, so you'll still be charmed. The bad part is that if fealty is up, then mages won't be able to sleep or bind you.

Historical Background
In the Wayang (oriental popular 'opera') traditions of Java in Indonesia, Anantaboga is the king of the dragons in the underworld and holds the world of the dead as his domain. He is the father and husband of dewi Nagagini.
In modern times the 'Ananta-Boga-Dragon' is seen as the most important symbol in Bali for the earth's fertility.
