Talk:Aht Urhgan Mission 44: Nashmeira's Plea
From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia
Can be tanked on nin/war using proto-ultima style : -damage/enmity gear with defense/hp food. Switched to -magic damage/light resist a little before astral flow. Nearly didnt took any damage from it. Party setup was : blm blm rdm whm drk nin. Alexander used a 2nd time astral flow at 1%. --Narasinha
Speculation is that Raubahn's immunity is based on the type of damage he's taken the most of in his first 2 "lives". For example, if you manaburn him, he uses magic shield, if you TP burn him, he uses physical shield, etc. No one has confirmed yet though, as far as I know. --Kyrial 22:56, 28 August 2007 (CDT)
Well in regards to Raubahn's immunity, I did him with a fairly unusual setup of BLU, BLU and MNK as the damage dealers. Obviously focusing on melee damage. His third form was indeed immune to melee. So Kyrial may be correct about his immunity pattern. (Formless Strikes + Breath attacks spam was ftw though >.>) --Mercy
My Paladin during this fight was saying that Sacrament spam kept giving him Defense Down. I've added this to the entry, but some outside confirmation of this would be great.
Sacrament adds MAGIC Defense Down, to be specific.
With Light Carol up I did receive 50% resist on Radiant Sacrament. Attack must be light based.
WARNING: The cut scene that starts once this fight is completed is sad - have hankies at the ready!
Freeze 2 did 1.6k dmg where as flare 2/fire spells did at most 128 -_- weak to ice not fire!~ Juilan
-- weakness seem to change base on which day of the week it is --Bekisa 04:57, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
Gospel of the Lost also Erases. He'd always do it to my Bio. I think it may be a multiple or full Erase, but it's difficult to know since he resisted all my enfeebles. Also, wouldn't it make more sense if Divine Judgment was Light? Malumultimus 15:19, 29 August 2007 (CDT)
When fighting Alexander, if you never hit him with weapons and just have the pld keep hate and have the blms nuke him he never use Gospel of the Lost until he get about 25% hp left and maybe 10%.
So from my experience in the Alexander battle i think Gospel of the Lost is TP based and will be use more often when a WS is used against him. --Alexarchos 22:35, 29 August 2007 (CDT)
Pretty sure Mega Holy is AoE moderate damage TP move, and not a spell. Ella 00:04, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
Seems to me after tonights session against this guy that he is more prone to use Gospel of the Lost if he has a status effect on him, like bio. He used this in my most recent fight almost every time right after I hit him with Bio II. It probably is a TP move, we had 2 DD's fighting him as well, but my guess is chance of using it is higher if he has a status on him. -Fogoazul.
Strangely enough there are some players that enjoy watching cutscenes again when they help people with mission. One of the problems with this and AU42 to a lesser extent is that since they are Assault style missions, you can not rewatch them. I've attempted to find a goblin footprint in Alzadaal with no success. Does anyone know where you would go to see the story at the end of AU44 again? -Someasshat [2/5/08 2:11AM (cst)]
Regarding Perfect Defense - On a recent attempt, once Alexander used this move, it appeared to be immune to both magic and physical damage, which I was confused about. It made our Ranger's Eagle Eye Shot do 0, our melees hit for 0, and it completely resisted (I got the message that he resisted the spell; I don't mean it did 0 damage) my Thundaga 3. The information on the main page made it seem like he would only be immune to one thing at a time. Can anyone else verify that once he uses this move he's immune to only ONE type of damage, or confirm that he's immune to multiple types? And no, he didn't ready another Defense in between these times. Maybe its possible after using this move that he can change immunities at will? Any additional information would be appreciated. --Bapidai 19:48, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Curious question
The strats discussed, as well as the one my group used, all involve beating up Raubahn 3x before starting on Razfahd. What happens if you try to beat up Razfahd first? Is he simply invulnerable until Raubahn's out of the picture? And if not, what happens regarding Raubahn, once Razfahd hits 50% HP and triggers the change to the Alexander fight? --Vilurum 09:47, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
The cutscene isn't triggered until he's at 50% AND Raubahn has been defeated 3 times. We just slept Raubahn and knocked Razfahd down to 50%. He's very weak and it doesn't take but a few seconds. After that we woke up Raubahn and pulled him to the door and fought him there out of Razfahd's range.
Regarding Mega Holy
I did /recast "Mega Holy" and /recast "Mega-Holy". Neither of them existed. After looking through a friend's chat logs of her Alexander fight, it did use Mega Holy, but instead of it saying "Alexander starts casting Mega Holy", it said, "Alexander readies Mega Holy". It isn't a spell, it's an ability. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mischiefz (talk • contribs).
Regarding Divine Judgment
This isn't physical damage, it's magical, I took full 1300+ damage while invincible on pld. (And lived, he boasted). --Graspee 2
Zone
The zone on the corresponding nm pages is listed differently. Alexander says the zone is called Nyzul Isle Staging Point while the Raubahn one says its called Nyzul Isle Remanants. Can we work out what the actual name of the zone is so we can fix this please -Heretic mkII@ffxi 11:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Reguarding Salaheem's Sentinels
I was able to enter Salaheem's Sentinels after exiting this mission in failure. Is the info on the mission page correct? It seems kind of silly not to because you need to talk to Naja if you fail. I was also able to check my Assault progress after failure. Can anyone Confirm? --Bajoyasujoya 00:40, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Unusual but effective strategy!
My linkshell just did this fight several times in a row, and we have found a very effective strategy. Credit goes to Tedman of Ramuh for this.
The ideal setup is RDM PLD RNG BLM BLM BLM. This is flexible.
Everyone needs Reraise Earrings; even BLMs and RDMs should consider this b/c 150 MP is nothing to shake a stick at. Also, melee should consider /SAM to reduce TP gain of Alexander as much as possible. Also, RNG/WAR can have a hard time zerging Raubahn all the way down at the beginning; /SAM gives you an extra Sidewinder/Slug Shot.
Because Raubahn's immunity is based on the majority of damage you do, you can simplify the fight very easily. Have the RNG take down 50% or more of the first form of Raubahn as fast as he can. EES, Barrage, Sidewinder, what Rangers are good at. Samurai, Warrior, DRagoon, and Blue Mage all work well for this. After it gets past 50%, if you can get it down with just the PLD and RNG, go for it. BLMs can start nuking at this point. When he reraises, have the RDM sleep and BLM time nuke him all the way down. Now that he's in the third form, it doesn't matter what kind of damage you do, just kill him. Timed nuking is the easiest and safest, but if you have a SAM or BLU that can unleash heavy damage without needing to melee that will work too. If you have a BLU, set Temporal Shift or Jettatura for a non-physical stun that won't affect Sleep.
If you're time-nuking the final form, your melee can go start to work on Razfahd. This entire process can take from 7 to 15 minutes, 15 being with deaths from unstunned Eyes on Me.
Once you start the Alexander fight, have the Paladin stand in front of Alexander, but at a distance. If you have an extra melee, have them fight on the sides. Black Mages and Red Mage should spread out near the back wall, by the entrance. The key is to avoid TP feed on Alexander. Head Butt can stun Gospel of the Lost, but it's difficult. At or around 50%, the melee should disengage and run far away. Paladins, this is the time to put on your Shadow Ring if you have one. After Divine Judgment, if you wipe, rest to full and start again. Take him down to 10% or so, then repeat for the second Divine Judgment. BLU and SAM can self-skillchain Darkness for Magic Bursts. (Rana > Gekko and Expiacion > Vertical Cleave)
As I mentioned, the ideal setup can be altered, but you still want at least two BLMs, a RDM, and a PLD. When I did it, we had PLD RDM BLM BLM SAM BLU, and didn't have a single wipe. Mikauk 00:14, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
