Notes:

• Occasionally spawns Djiggas while fighting. (Not completely proven: Total of 6 Djiggas spawned when LS did this Marid, but since it was not a successful run we are not sure if 6 is the maximum spawned. If this is so, LS member (BLM) tested if the Djigga can be kited in a big circle when the LS wiped, it is possible with enough distance, around 12-15 was distance running as him being BLM. Since chigoes crit hit alot and damage hard, a suggestion is to have someone with alot of defense or with enough defense gear to kite away far around the wall to kill the Marid. But also not proven.)
• A strategy to avoid the Djiggas CAN be the following (needs to be proven)

Last 4th run we had 1 NIN/WAR left beeing not in the main-ally, he alone fought the Marid while 6 Djiggas were out too BUT ignoring him all the time - and he fought the Marid right beside the Djiggas. If this is a Bug or the Key to make it easier:

-Put 1 - 3 Member ( PLD/NIN + RDM or SCH for Graviga would be good ) outside of the Ally alone in a party.

They alone attack and kite the Marid (beware of draw-in, have Buffs up all time) until he spawns first 2-3 Djiggas.

• Stay alive as good as possible vs. them (graviga) and keep kiting until he spawns the next Djiggas set - when there are 6 Djiggas out > die (you will for sure anyway).²

If kite party dies before 6 Djiggas are out you need to find more "victims".

Nobody outside of this party should interact in any way helping them of course.

• Repeatedly uses TP-Attack, Proboscis Shower, healing itself for anywhere from 1,000-10,000 HP. Is stunnable, however the stun window is quite short and he builds complete resistance to Stun after about 5-10 minutes of steady stunning.
• Uses single target Draw In, which deters kiting. However, the boss can be kited and damaged over time. This kiting will be similar to the way a player can kite Adamantoise or Aspidochelone to one side of the zone in Cape Teriggan to avoid aggro of other monsters. Even though the player will be drawn in, they can keep running forward to move the mob.

Historical Background

In Norse mythology, Hildesvini (also spelled Hildisvini) was a boar used as a mount for the goddess Freya (goddess of beauty, love, fertility, war). It had golden hair and could move at incredible speeds. Hildesvini means “battle-swine”.
