Tried to Duo this as WHM/SMN and NIN/WAR and there is just no way. NIN with Full evasion gear, and WHM haste can't keep shadows up, Slow and paralyze from WHM landed no problem. Got it down to about 87% and it turned smashed WHM dead, then NIN lost shadows, Ni wasn't up, hit for 400, interupted ichi, hit again for 600 dead. This is just not happening, unless i see a video of NIN or THF solo'ing it I don't think it's remotely possible --Firewall 06:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Here is a video of a NIN/THF soloing this ENM - http://www.guba.com/watch/3000083358 triplec110h

Well.... I'm impressed --Firewall 17:29, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Duoed with little trouble Nin/thf smn/whm. Ninja uses full evasion build, and spams tools for hate. Also reccomended to use Mamushito+1s those seemed to work well. Basic strat, have the nin do his normal thing, while you are using the merrited blood pacts. Also pretty useful is to summon an elemental then use astral flow. Saw 3 bursts for 30 percent of his health combined. Most of this fight you will be doing the same thing, resting then getting up to use merit bp. If you have to cure your nin, you have likely already lost. --Lightningcount 16:10, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Note moved from main page, needs clean up

"He DOES NOT Get stronger as his HP drops. This is a lie. He has kind of a rage mode. In this mode he takes more damage ( T3 Nukes for 700-800 from RDM ) but also hits harder as normal: ~650 - 950+ dmg or even more."

Odd Delay

I've been solo'ing this bad boy as RDM/NIN for the past few weeks in an attempt to bring in some extra income. I've only fought him about 4-5 times so far, but I've noticed that his delay seems to be rather random, and I'm not sure what exactly triggers it. Sometimes his delay will be greater than normal monsters, taking up to 5-7 seconds to attack with slow II on, but sometimes his delay is dangerously low, attacking seemingly faster than normal enemies even with slow II on.

I've noticed that right before he changes immunities, his delay is higher than normal, but when his immunity changes his delay drops like a rock. However, I've also witnessed his delay being rather low right before and after changing immunities. Any ideas as to what is causing this sporadic delay? Is it a change of immunities or something else? Oobdinglada 03:28, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
