Notes:

• Found on the lower level in the center of J-6 on the first map, behind the Quadav Charm door.
• Resists Lullaby, Sleep, Bind and Gravity.
• After using Deafening Tantara he will counter weapon skills with Frenetic Rip until he uses Abrasive Tantara.
• After using Abrasive Tantara he will counter magic with instant cast Ancient Magic (usually Burst and Freeze) until he uses Deafening Tantara.
  • Does NOT usually cast burst/freeze. the AM (or rather spell for light/dark element) varries with which element the player uses on Zekka, for example bio = sleepga, finale = holy, all other elements will be countered with their respective AM
  • Is able to counter with magic spells other than Ancient Magic. Have seen Sleepga II used to counter.
  • Trick Attack will keep the hate generated on the tank, but person doing WS still gets the hate for Frenetic Rip.
  • He will not counter Avatar Blood Pacts.
  • He will not counter if he is already performing another action.
• Can cast Holy.
• Can be stunned by Head Butt with a fairly high success rate. Accuracy gear is recommended.
• Does not seem to counter Blue Magic physical spells, or even magic spells. (tested with filamented hold and actinic burst)
• Can use Frenetic Rip multiple times at once. Ex: I used Shield Bash, while he was stunned used Atonement. When stun wore, he used Frenetic Rip twice at once.
