• White Mage: 5-6 Yagudo Drinks, Ninja subjob, 2x Time Hammers, Battle Gloves, Life Belt, Phalanx Rings, Crow Gear (except hands), NPC set to Stalwart Shield, 1 Meat Mithkabob, 2 Ethers, 1 stack of Mulsums. Buff to full after cutscene, and approach Vassago. You will pull the initial hate thus the importance of Utsusemi (its more reliable than blink). Debuff the mob as best as you can. Pop Yagudo drinks as needed, and if you run low on MP use Ethers and Mulsums. The bottom-line is not to pull hate, because if you do it at wrong time you may lose the fight. Use Cure 2 on NPC and go to Cure 3 if NPC is low on HP. NPC will run out of magic quickly. Use seraph strike whenever you got TP ready. If mob is at very low health, you may use Holy but that may yank hate.

• White Mage: I went in not know it was going to be a tough as it was as taru whm with F.Attacker NPC. I also did not know it was level capped (there wasn't these nice little guides out back then). I won wearing my cooking apron and using warp cudgel. Let your npc do the tanking and run when you see him use his mirror. Won without using yag drinks or meds as a pretty much naked taru whm ... whm/nin only? hah, luck I won, maybe. Never underestimate the power of a taru who orders around a big galka carrying a GK :-P ~Bekisa of Ramuh Server

• White Mage: NPC set to Stalwart Shield, NIN subjob. Used LV30 maces (Holy Mace, etc.), Holy Breastplate, Crow Gear. You don't need medicines or Yagudo Drinks, but bring at least 1 Yagudo Drink and 1 Ether as a precaution. As you enter the BCNM, cast buffs on yourself then enter arena. As you attack you'll initially get hate, so Paralyze and Slow Vassago. Once your NPC provokes and grabs hate, buff your NPC by casting Haste and Protect III to him/her, and throw some Cures to her (2 or 3). Sooner than you realize Vassago will use Blighted Gloom on your NPC and he/she will counter with Blessed Radiance which deals 150-220 damage. Personally, the battle is extremely easy.

• White Mage: NPC set to Stalwart Shield, SMN subjob. Used standard gear, 1 Ginger Cookie to rest MP after buffing. 1 Melon Juice to refresh MP during the fight. I was armed with a Shinai. You don't have to do very much other than keep your NPC cured. Hopefully they're level 50. Banish II does a decent amount of damage. Won the fight at 11 minutes and 40 seconds.

• White Mage: Have your NPC set to Stalwart Defender. NPC at LV50+ is preferred since this is a LV50 capped fight. 0 Yagudo Drinks, use any subjob you want, use any gear or just go naked, don't bother with food. After cutscene, Prot/Shell on yourself and rest to full. Approach Vassago slowly. You will pull the initial hate thus the importance of having your NPC a Stalwart Shield. Your NPC will voke immediately and you don't need anything like Utsusemi. Cast Paralyze and Slow on the mob, anything else is really unnecessary and will make this joke of a fight even easier. Your NPC will heal itself for the vast majority of the fight, give it a Regen or a couple of cures when it needs it. If you run low on mana you are doing something seriously wrong. The bottom-line is not to pull hate, because if you do it at wrong time you may lose the fight (Blighted Gloom does 0 damage to your NPC and your NPC but will probably hurt you). I used Moonlight to give my NPC a little extra MP but we're talking an extra Cure II here. I had three minutes to spare and I treated this like it was a total joke. And it was. Whoever said you need Ninja is an idiot and scared a lot of people for no reason (see talk pages).

• White Mage: Went in as WHM/BLM with my LV50 NPC Fellow set to Stalwart Shield. Used an Apple Pie because I happened to have it on me, then buffed up, Reraised, and rested MP. Approached Vassago and cast Paralyze, Slow, Silence, and Dia II. NPC Fellow immediately provoked and held hate for the entire duration of the fight. I stood somewhat behind her and cast Regen II on her and cures when she ran out of MP. I only engaged in the fighting towards the end to help finish Vassago off. Overall this was a rather easy fight and I wasn't hit once. Don't panic if you happen to run out of MP towards the end. Benediction can save your NPC Fellow if you are in a bind.

• White Mage: /SCH, Went in with 0 preparation, no item, no food, no drink, level synced equipment from lvl71. NPC lvl50 set to Shield. Simply heal the NPC with Regen/ Light Arts helpd paralyze, slow and silent to stick and they are very usful. An easy fight.--Timfung 09:38, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

• White Mage: Went /SMN for the extra MP but didn't end up needing it. Any reasonable sub should work fine. Super easy battle with the level restriction gear changes. Paralyze and silence stuck consistently and were very effective. 11 minutes 32 seconds. Pixymisa 06:51, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
