Tips
Choose the ghost with the name that matches your party's main damage type.
- Shredded Samson: Weak to Slashing, Piercing OK, strong against jug pets (magic?).
- Punctured Percy: Weak to Piercing. (magic ok?)
- Mauled Murdock: Weak to Blunt.
- Annihilated Anthony: Weak to magic, strong to Slashing
A Beastmaster party will want to choose Annihilated Anthony; apparently, for this BC jug pet attacks are considered magic damage. Presumably the same applies to Summoner avatars.
When they start Casting AM, your Tank should run down the long hallway to avoid the spell from getting off
Keep the ghost you choose Away from your healer, if they get hit with bane, it could mean a potential wipe
Percy and Murdock used to be mixed up, but this was apparently fixed around mid-2005.
Working Job Combinations
- 3x Bst
- 3x Smn
- Ninja + Healer (WHM or RDM)
- Tank,DD,Healer
Tank,DD,Healer
- Hello, I'm here to present a stratedgy for anyone who wants to do this BCNM. I'm about 18wins to 2 losses on this BCNM, and one of the losses was a crazy duo attempt. Anyways here are precautions you want to take:
- All of the ghosts use Bane. (horrible curse).
- They use tier 2 -aga spells. (Blizzaga II seems to be a favorite)
- They do cast Ancient Magic.
- They normally start off the battle with Ice Spikes.
- They love Sleepga spells.
Now from those guidelines, you want to have 2 things basically: Holy Waters if you feel like being cheap, Remedy stacks if you feel like being expensive. Now, either Ninja or Paladin work fine for tanks for this BCNM. My Ninja friend and I easily do this BCNM with any other job(I am a Dragoon). It is not a hard BCNM. Always fight Shredded Samson. Bring Holy Waters and if you're lacking on healing power, a few Yagudo Drinks and you have this BCNM in the bag.
3x Bst party
- Use JA "Call Beast" CourrierCarrie works fine.
- Wait for "Call Beast" Timers to cool (2:00~2:30 is fine)
- Use pets to fight only - do not melee - Sic When it's ready.
- Use Pet Food Zeta when pet HP is low or when Reward is ready.
- Use Call Beast when your initial pet is dead.
Fights vary in difficulty.
Duo Strategies
Ninja/Warrior and White Mage
Strategy:
60 NIN and 60 WHM can duo this BCNM with some care.
- Always fight Shredded Samson
- NIN should sub WAR for Provoke
- WHM should bring MP items such as ethers and juice
NIN will mainly DD as the WHM will heal and take care of status effects. The fight is pretty straight forward. Me as NIN and WHM have done this BCNM serveral times with success and little diffuculty. (SMN sub for whm might help the mp issues as well as the passive refresh)
Alternate Strategy:
Nin/war and Rdm/whm
Strategy:
60 NIN and 60 RDM can duo this BCNM with some care.
- Always fight Shredded Samson
- NIN should sub WAR for Provoke
same as nin & whm, nin will mainly DD and rdm will heal and take care of status effects,
- Advantage is Hi-ethers were not needed since a rdm is able to refresh and convert at this level.
tried many times and this is easy. (tried with hume nin and hume rdm; elv nin and tar rdm)
