DUO STRATEGIES

<BLMx2>

Ok, this strategy calls for at least one of the BLM's to be /RDM and the other to be /WHM for Paralyna and Poisona.

Strategy:

  • Items that you'll need: a Reraise item and at least 2 Yagudo Drink's per fight.
  • Now for the actual fight. When you go in, walk up to the edge of the main room where Anansi is loacted and start buffing yourself, and then pop one of your Yagudo Drinks. Next, have one person call out a timed nuke (I recommend Blizzard IV if their is ice weather present, which there usually always is) and directly after have your /WHM ready to Stun Anansi and your /RDM ready to use Elemental Seal + Gravity. Once that is done, you can begin to start mana burning Anansi as you would any other mob; make sure that you are pulling him towards the entrance of the BC. Also, Anansi cannot be slept, so feel free to put DoT's on it to help make the kill go faster. Also, make sure that you are using Aspir every chance that the timer is ready and have your /WHM ready to use Poisona and Paralyna ASAP when you are inflicted with them.
  • By the time Anansi gets down to the entrance of the BC, he should be at less then 10%. Once you are ready to deal the kill blow to him, have one person decide who should finish him off, because if one person is already more then halfway through their cast and the other starts a cast of their own, odds are that the 1st person who started casting will kill Anansi and the other will be momentarily stuck in their casting animation. I will explain soon why this would be disastrous.
  • (This part is the key to winning this fight and a little secret most people do not know; the Son of Anansi's do not aggro if Sneak is on) Once Anansi has died (and hopefully at the BC entrance) both BLM's (or as many as you have with you) must be ready to use Sneak ASAP (I recommend Silent Oil's since they allow you to use sneak instantly and are much more reliable in duration length) and immediately head for the main room where Anansi started out at and begin resting (pop your 2nd Yagudo Drink at this time also). Now, if one of you had gotten stuck in casting animation and were still waiting for it to stop, you will probably not be able to get sneak up fast enough to advoid getting aggro from the Son of Anansi's and will almost 100% cause a wipe, since the BLM with sneak on will have a difficult time killing all 8 on their own.
  • Now, you must also realize that even if you are out of normal mob sound aggro range, the Son of Anansi's will aggro you no matter where you are in the BC once your sneak wears off. So, continue resting up in the main room untill you are at 100% or until one person says their sneak has begun to wear off. No matter which has occured, begin to buff up and once you are both ready, have just one of the BLM's drop their sneak while the other is ready to Sleepga II the now incoming Son of Anansi's.
  • Now, you're ready to begin killing. 1st, have the BLM who just used their Sleepga II ready to cast either Blizzaga III or Thundaga III at maximum range from the sleeping Son's. As soon as the spell has gone off, the BLM who just nuked must start running away as the other BLM is casting Sleepga II. After they are slept again, the BLM who just recently slept them must be ready to cast either Blizzaga III or Thundaga III at maximum range from the sleeping Son's. Again, as soon as the spell has gone off the caster of the nuke must be ready to start running away while the other BLM is casting Sleepga II. By now, they should all be at ~30% and sleeping. Next, have one BLM call out a timed aga nuke and once they have both gone off, all 8 Son's should be dead. If anything, only 3-4 max should still be alive if any partially resisted your aga's, and should be very easy to manage in the way you feel best. And congratulations on just duoing Come Into My Parlor! (Strategy courtesy of Parku and Reddragon of Titan server)

Making this Strategy Better:

  • If you're going in with more then just two BLM's, then subs on the others will not matter, however I would personally recommend /SCH for Parsimony and Dark Arts.

TRIO STRATEGIES

None

FULL PARTY STRATEGIES

<RDM/BLM, WHM/SMN, BRD/WHM, 3x BLM/RDM>

Strategy:

Strategy Pros:

  • Doing that you will clear in about 6/7 minutes.

Strategy Cons:

  • We usually make these fights with a set party like that, and only a few times did we have some problems with the Sons. (We didn't have a Sleepga order, or the BLM didn't call a time to cast -aga III).

<BSTx4-6>

Go in with at least 4-6 BST/???s; WHM is the preferred support job - however any SJ will work with enough Antidotes.

Strategy:

  • Call Courier Carries, Buff/rest as you wait for "Call Beast" timer to cool down as a precaution, then attack the NM along with your pets. (Take care of Poisonga and Anansi's Additional Effect:Poison, as soon as you are hit with it 50HP/tick)
  • Once the main NM is dead, {Leave} your Jug pets, and ready your Charm gear.
  • Charm one "Son of Anansi" each as they pop.
  • After all members of the party have charmed one of the "Son of Anansi," begin attacking the remaining sons that spawn - they will die quickly with 6 BST+pets.
  • After the 2-4 non-pet spiders are killed, begin leaving pets and killing them - starting with the highest HP pet first.
  • Repeat until all spiders have been defeated.

Normal Party setup

<x2-3 DD/NIN, Blm/whm, Whm/blm Brd/whm >

Strategy:

  • So the basic strategy of this, is to kill the big guy off pretty quickly. Then pull the melee back away from the body. At this point it you need to have the brd whm and blm sleeping the babies. The babies typically are not hard to sleep. Once all are slept, have the melee start working on 1 at a time. A Blu with Yawn is amazing for this fight. Of course have the healers watch out for that poison, and keep slow erased, but other than that this strategy is an almost guaranteed win.
  • Normal DD food.

Strategy Pros:

  • With this strategy just about anyone can do it. Have done it with smn and pup and had no troubles.

Strategy Cons:

  • The biggest problem with this strategy is if the babies wake up, they can take out a Melee within a very short time giving your healer almost no chance to act.
  • Brds and Blm need to be especially watchful for when the babies wake up.

Making this Strategy Better:

  • It is very important to choose your DDs well. While 3 war/nins can win this the fastet, you normally find yourself pressed to keep the melee alive. Jobs like Blu and Dnc are pretty good for this for their unique abilities.
  • Smn are really helpful as well, garuda can kill a son with little or no trouble with 2 predator claws and 1 whispering wind.
