Notes:[]

  • Timed Spawn(Duration Unknown) Around (E-8),(F-8) and (G-8);
  • Uses Healing Breeze weapon skill exclusively. Can restore 914+HP.
    • Uses Healing Breeze @ 200TP as long as HP is >60%, @ 150TP as long as HP is 30-60%, and 100TP if HP is <30%.
      • This accounts for the large variation of HP restored by Healing Breeze as it was experienced to be stronger early in fight, but weaker and more often when close to death.
  • Subtle Blow, High-Damage/High-Delay Weapon, or Elemental Magic recommended.
  • Occasionally, attacks have an "En-Slow" effect.
  • Some degree of care should be taken, as surrounding Desert Dhalmals will link.
  • Won't despawn if zoned at F-9 area (other than normal despawn behavior). Zoning Nandi before fighting makes it easy to isolate her, de-spawn links, and test if you have the DoT to beat her with a safe way out nearby.

Historical Background[]

Nandi is the bull which Siva rides and the gate keeper of Siva and Parvati in Hindu mythology. In addition to being a mount, Nandi is also the chief follower of Siva. So much so, that in some stories, not only does he have Siva's protection, but Nandi has the same powers as Siva.
