• Soloable by 45DRG/WAR (Taru.) Got TP from other Gigas'. Healed and made sure jumps had cooled down. No drinks or potions. Hit the elevator fast after the fight. (Eagle Eye Shot did ~300 damage)

  • Used Signal Pearl (lvl 30 Shield[1] type)
  • Basicaly was over kill, NPC and WAR took hate while I nuked it
  • Dont use Thunder moves, figured that out the hard way
• Easily soloed by a DRG50/THF25, Eagle Eye Shot did ~260 damage. Sneak Attack start, no TP at the beginning.
• Soloed quite easily as 42 DRG/DNC- (Eagle Eye Shot will do ~310 damage) built up about 200% tp on a couple of the other giants, didnt take much damage other than from Eagle Eye Shot. I didn't pay attention to the weather, but I started with Jump, High Jump, then he used Eagle Eye, I used a regular hi-potion, then double thrust, and that was about it.
• Soloed with 40 RDM/DNC using Blaze Spikes, Phalanx, Protect II, Shell II, and Barstone. Eagle Eye Shot did 256 damage. Linked another giant, which subsequently killed me, but I got my key.
• Soloed by a 40SMN/WHM using Ifrit. I used Double Punch, then ran away and let Ifrit melee until he died (Porphyrion was then at about half hp), recast, used a Yagudo Drink, Astral Flow, Inferno (~650 damage), and won. --Nagaem 02:15, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

• If you happen to be a lvl 33 Drg/War and a lvl 30 Whm/Blm looking to duo Porphyrion, be sure to watch out for Mimas. He will open the door. He will r@pe you. You will die.

key drop

if everyone in your party has a key, porphyrion will not drop any keys. just wanted to say this so the nm isn't killed before a party member who needs the key zones into upper delkfutt's tower (like what just happened with me). --vm0d 23:39, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

Level

As 40BST, he gave me 76 xp. This would mean he is about level 36...so I don't know if it possible for him to spawn as low as 28. --Docstu 23:01, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
