Repop time
Can anyone confirm the time till Rapido respawns after being killed? I've heard 24hrs, but nobody I've spoken with knows 100% for certain. --1.quos.vita.habitum.captivus 05:45, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Cactrot Rapido pop time
Poptime is 2-3 days
Soloable by RDM/NIN with strong Haste equip (Duelist's Tabard is recommended when attempting solo)
So far 2/50~ with random Treasure Hunters, Arco De Velocidad seems to be rare (considering 2-3 days pop time.)
Regarding the movement speed, I can verify that as THF using Flee, I am able to outrun rental chocobos for the duration. Not sure as to the exact speed of each, but flee is indeed slightly faster. Cactrot, as the article states, is faster still.

- RDM/NIN can not use bio or nukes to kill due to the fact of feeding it TP and getting hit with 10,000 needles.
Duoed by THF & SMN
- Then how is it killed? Gregrowe 00:55, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- Watch the Avesta video, best thing I can say --Firewall 05:49, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
- Duoable by a RDM/BLM using Poison 2 and elemental debuffs for damage and NIN/RDM with evasion gear and haste for shadow recast. SMN is a great help to speed up fight since level 70 BPs give monster no TP. Just make sure to dismiss avatar right after BP so Rapido cannot hit avatar for TP(can use Aerial Armor with garuda first to give avatar shadows for any hit rapido might try get on her).
- Duo this RDM/NIN x2 pretty much same as the way the RDM Solo is stated, just having a little extra insurense in case you dont want to quite solo it yet, Keep poison and de buffs on, and you can bounce hate between each other using Sleep2 or curing your partner. Keep up DEF buffs az much as u can, although Cactrot will NOT necessarily always use 10,000 needles when it reachs 100TP. you can get lucky (although still wouldnt recommend nuking or such xD) but yeah, fight takes about 30-40 mins~ If your feeling really crazy, tried 2 RDM chainspelling nuking it down with BlizzIII's got it 2 about 25% in 30 seconds >,< but then got hammerd with 10k needles...but it seems very possible if your feeling lucky :P
- One strategy is to use Avatar blood pacts, such as Garuda Predator Claws. Have your Summoner Aerial Armor, then use Predator Claws and immediately release. A few other tricks: 1. Anyone with hate, use Ginger or Wizard cookies to get Plantoid Killer. 2. A Blue Mage is very useful for this fight, as he can use Light of Penance, Feather Tickle and Lowing to keep TP low. TP is your enemy in this fight.
- I was fighting it with friends for fun, when I decided to Repose it and.... it worked! However it had DoTs up so Cactrot woke up inmediately. But it is nice to see that you can sleep it in case you are wiping or something.
- Well, it appears my theory worked out >_> Went out there for a duo attempt RDMx2, decided hell, lets just try a chainspell from the get go~ so we did. unleashing wave of Blizz3 on its cactus ass ^^ never used a 10k, did needleshotx2 and so after about 20-30~ seconds it was dropped, :P so 4 all you dare devils out there, ^^ heres 1 for ya~ also you can check the youtube video :P "Cactrot Rapido 20 seconds"
Raped!
Not really important but was quite funny.... well i was lvlin my npc with a friend using my thief (at the time lvl 54) and his nin (lvl 57) and a sabotender linked which was no big deal as blind bolts made it almost impossible for it to hit me.... next thing i see my friend die!?! i was like wtf hit u then i die with the message saying Cactrot Rapido defeats Blackmetzuk lol. - Blackmetzuk 04:36, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
