- Easily killed by a party of WHM75 (with devotion) , 3 x SMN75's and a RDM75/NIN37. Killed by having the RDM kite Fenrir around while the 3 Summoners Blast Fenrir with Spinning Dive.
Absolutely destroyed with 5BLM + 1 72SMN. Smn ran in with titan+stoneskin to grab hate, blms take positions and unload AM2's. One volley of 3AM2's and 2 Tier4's took him to 50%. The next volley killed it. Lunar cry 1 shotted a blm halfway through, and then midway through that volley he did his 2hour and dropped us all into red HP. We did it on Darksday, Full moon (94%) The worst possible day/moon, and 5blms withstood the 2hour (with titan stoneskin). Easy :) Record with 3mins, spent most of the time waiting on smn to stoneskin and go over strat. could have done it in 60 seconds.
Killed with 6 member setup (drg/nin, war/nin, smn/whm, pld/war, sam/nin, rdm/whm) using synchronized 2 hour strategy.
- upon entering, summoner used stoneskin on party and stat buffs from fenrir, redmage hasted drg/nin and war/nin, assuming Fenrir has high evasion the melees used squid sushi and the paladin used a tav taco. Paladin runs into arena grabs fenrir agro. drg/nin uses jump and high jump, then uses spirit surge, uses jump (def. down), high jump (reset fenrir tp) and pentathrust while the war/nin and sam/nin both 2 houred with inflicting heavy damage followed by the summoner 2 hour with leviathan. Paladin uses 2 hour at 53% of fenrir's hitpoints. the actual fight lasted around 30-40 seconds and nobody died. Things to note: moonphase was 88% waxing gibbous and it was thundersday. The paladin was elvaan, which means that you don't have to have a galka paladin to tank the fight, but may need a tank with high hitpoint pool. PLD HP was around 1500. 2 hours may have not been necessary but just about guaranteed success.
Killed with thf/thf/brd/whm.
- Thieves ping-pong hate with evasion gears, and bard mambo x2. Cast Utsusemi: Ni right as Fenrir uses 2-hour ability so will have shadow for the attacks that follows right after. We eventually ended up battle raising and kill him from 100% again, but probably wouldn't need to if whm didn't die to his 2-hour.
Killed with smn/whm/rdm. RDM kites it with Bind and Gravity, WHM heals and casts Haste on the RDM while the SMN every minutes does Predator Claws or Spinning Dive. Wegente
Completed this fight, and was unable to choose the Fenrir summon ability. I also had this happen similarly with Diabolos. I am guessing that you need to unlock smn before you approach for your reward, but I was definitely able to beat both of these primes as a different job and still get the reward scenes. I mention this because i was able to get 6/6 of the other avatars without having smn unlocked, and i thought it odd that you cannot do the same with the last 2 summons. --Drew5252 01:01, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Can Fenrir's Dispel move remove a food effect? --Headache 08:54, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
fought fenrir today, dispel removed all effects including RR/buffs/refresh etc.. but NOT food or signet --Vimes 00:16, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Fought fenrir today with a pt setup of 75BLU, 75BRD, 75BST, 75SAM, 75WHM, 57WHM. First round we went in on darksday, we would've won if it wasnt for that stupid 2 hr move at the end lol. 2nd time we went in , which was right after, and pwned him. We fought him on firesday.

needs confirmation but questioning whether or not Fenrir can dispel rr from an item(rr earring), done this fight three times and every time Fenrir has never dispeled my rr using rr earring cuz rdm/drk, everything else is always dispeled up to 9 buffs at a time but never my rr.. thought i'd throw that out there.

The December update now prevents RR from being erased. In pre-update fights I had experienced RR getting wiped. --Calif 14:58, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Had a 75 BLU who used Saline Coat right before Fenrir 2 houred and it only did about 600-700 damage per person. That was the lowest damage I've ever seen on Howling Moon, and the moon was only at 45% on Earthsday. Kawaii ffxi 02:09, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
One way to beat him is to have 3-4 summoners and a pld tank. The pld will 2 hr when Fenrir at 50% (Howling Moon can and may oneshot a Pld that's not a galka) ensuring Fenrir is focused on him and the summoners use Leviathan whose Spinning Dive seems to do the most damage to fenrir. Leviathan is the avatar of choice for this fight.
Duo
Just duoed him yesterday with RDM/NIN + BRD/WHM. Was an easy fight with 8 min to spare at the end. Just keep DoTs up, have the BRD use Ice Threnody and Bind shouldnt get resisted a single time, as well as Blizzard III always being fully unresisted. Kifimbo 16:19, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Soloable
I believe the soloable by a skilled: NIN/THF or THF/NIN. is very missleading, 2hour would pwn he crap outta you and he has very high accuracy, as well as using ecliptic howl... i'd love to see a youtube video though.
Heres like to video of Gold a Mithra NIN/THF soloing it, not sure when it was made, so maybe its not possible now but it did happen. http://www.guba.com/watch/3000121946
This is a link to a video of someone beating him solo as RDM/NIN: [1] It should be noted that he did use a couple elixirs of some sort. This clearly demonstrates that it is soloable. I just happened to bump into this one randomly, and I'm quite sure there are other examples elsewhere of something like this being done. --Petru-Ragnarok 07:37, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
