Notes
- To enter the battlefield, talk to Zebada in the Uleguerand Range (F-12).
- Zebada will give you the Cotton Pouch.
- Go on the western slope and slide down at E-9. Start at the leftmost side of the edge and walk right until you start to see humps on the edge, this is about the right place to slide down. When sliding you can move left and right, try and aim for the hump on the slope, you want to land on the southmost ledge just above the bottom of the slope.
- Enter the cave behind you at F-8 to find the Chamneat Spring; trade the Cotton Pouch to the spring to receive the Chamnaet Ice.
- Return to Zebada and trade him the Chamnaet Ice to receive the Zephyr Fan key item.
- In Uleguerand Range, slide down the south slope at F-9 and enter the cave on the west side of F-10. To do this, once at the top of the slope, slide down the right-handside and aim for the left of the large bump you will see on the way down. The bump is just an overhang, not the cave entrance. You can slow yourself down on the bump and head off it to the left. Once past the large bump you will see a second smaller bump, aim for the centre of this and you will land in the middle of the ledge for the entrance. Run in and follow the path until you zone into Bearclaw Pinnacle. You will see the Wind Pillar ahead and you click on this to enter the Holy Cow ENM. (To give yourself a better chance, you can see where to land very clearly from the ground. From the Galka NPC, take the first ramp down on your left and you can clearly see the cliff you will be sliding down.)
- Only one of the four battlefields in Bearclaw Pinnacle can be completed every 5 Earth days.
- Apis must be defeated in order to win this ENM.
- Apis is immune to Charm.
- It's important to note that Apis will occassionally switch physical and magical immunites (signaled by the 2-hour animation.)
- It is possible for him to have both immunities up at once. (Tested with Ninja nukes during physical immunity stage.)
- Possible Power increase triggered by time or HP
- NIN/(WHM or THF) or THF/NIN can solo this ENM. Evasion and Haste gear required with the use of sushi. Getting hit is not an option, can hit up to 1400. Has TP move that bypasses shadows that does 100~200 dmg, knockback effect. Bloody Bolts proc, but bring Hi-Potions to ensure safety. Reraise advised and fight away from circle. One mistake can cause death, so a second chance might be necessary.
- THF/NIN solo attempt not recommended. With full evasion setup he is easily tanked, but thf damage output is too weak to make any noticable effect on Apis' HP. Especially if you pop sushi for soloing rather than meat. Recommended to bring at least a mage to DoT him and nuke when he's phys immune.
- Apis uses Mighty Snort which is a hate reset.
29/8/08 Discovery of Double attacking and Triple attacking. Resisted Blind approximately 50% with capped ninjutsu skill.
