Talk:Overlord Bakgodek

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

I have seen on here and several other sites that this NM spawns invisible. This isn't true and I can personally verify that fact. We were waiting within the central platform and it faded into view in front of us, still non-aggressive for 2-3 seconds until our Black Mage stunned it to claim.

Defeated easily with 2x NIN75/WAR37, THF75/NIN37, and a BRD75/WHM37... BRD and NIN must keep him enfeebled as much as possible, and THF assists NIN's in alternate tanking. Very long fight but also very doable.

Trio'd as NIN BRD RDM easily, was a very VERY long fight. Songs used were March and Mambo. Fighting defensivly is the best way to fight, using songs to merely speed up the battle(attack,acc ect) wont help when you get hit, 100+ TP asborbed then blasted with a slam dunk for 1k+,(unless it misses).You dont need a lot of people for this, anymore than 5 is way to much, Prime setup is THF NIN BRD RDM, or RDM THF WHM NIN(thf for TH). DD's and other damage dealing jobs only lower the cuts making this nm not so worth i.(if you are camping for gil anyways, if your camping to give the jugg to someone then zerg this hard)

RDM/NIN Duo

Attemped to duo this NM as RDM/NIN and RDM/NIN. One of us initially used Powder Boots to zone all of the Orcs in the tunnel, leaving the other to hold him at the zone. Bind stuck about 10% of the time. Gravity sticks a treat, however, and we kept shadows up and bounced him between us in the tunnel by the zone. Unfortunately, at around 50%, my partner disconnected, and he was too much to handle solo. I had to zone to avoid dying. By the time my friend reconnected, Bakgodek had made his way back to the middle and respawned to 100%. We couldn't be bothered to do it again (50% took well over an hour), so our linkshell came to kill the old fashioned way. We will try again in the future, but I would say that it's almost definitely possible to duo him, unless he has a bag of tricks at low health, or builds resistance to Gravity. We did not notice this to be the case, however. Even after an hour, he only very occasionally resisted Gravity.

As for not holding solo; I expect a more skilled and experienced RDM/NIN soloer could easily solo this guy. It's all fairly new to me. --Woooodum 01:19, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
