Preparations:

• A stack of Holy Water for Curse
• Reraise
• Barfire, Barfira, and fire resistance gear such as Suzaku's Sune-Ate

Strategies:

• If 6 or less people available, RDM/NIN or PLD/NIN kite in the open area around the lava pool near his spawn point.
• Mages keep out of range of Body Slam. Debuff, give 1-2 Nukes, and move back.
• Have melee take care of the bombs or wyverns for the kiter to have a clear path.
• Gravity is a must-have.
• If Cursna is available, keep kiter free of Curse at all times.
