Miscellaneous

  • starting with an empty rank bar, i repeated mission 1-2 8 times to activate this mission. --vm0d 12:07, 1 September 2007 (CDT)
  • Confirmed; repeating Bat Hunt eight times will grant access to this misison. I've added this to the main page, below the requirement for number of crystal stacks. Fiorenzo 00:54, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
  • When I fought him he used Hundred Fists at around 75%. Our group was planning on countering it and we weren't prepared for it. Just be aware that he can use it as soon as 75% health. Jesifromgaruda 10:13, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
  • He used it on me around 80%. Was not expecting it that soon! He attacks very fast. Very hard to keep shadows up. Wouldn't recommend trying to solo, helps to have someone DD with you to do damage while you're constantly keeping shadows up. Has very high accuracy too it seems. --JTimmons 19:09, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
  • The "[OPTIONAL]After accepting the mission from the gate guard, go to the cathederal and speak with Arnau." doesn't seem to do anything --Loeyuue 01:31, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Testimonials

  • This mission seems impossible to solo as BST75. I was able to defeat the NM using 5 CourierCarrie, but only by Charm-bind kiting him around in West Ronfaure while waiting for Call Beast to be ready again. But then I couldn't get back to the ??? without zoning out, so when I checked it again the NM popped again. --Valyana 16:00, 27 Dec 2005 (PST)
  • Solod 75BST/WHM with 56 npc set to soothing healer. Call CC and let call beast timer cool. Eat a Tavnazian Taco (just in case you need a third pet). Pop mob and fight with your pet. Use reward as often as possible. He used Hunderd fists at about 50% to finish first pet. Pop second, Snarl and Reward often. I only needed two CC. I used my two hour on the second to prolong its life for Call beast.--Airies 04:47, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
  • A 75 NIN/WHM can easily solo this as long as they have a lot of Evasion Reinhardt
  • Can be soloed by a 75nin/thf with good gear, fight lasts about 15 minutes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Avoisin (talk • contribs).
  • Also doable as an experienced 75 RDM/BLM (maybe /WHM) in about 15-20 minutes. Use same buffs than mentioned above with the addition Aquaveil, Enspell of the day and Shock Spikes. Slow II, Blind and Poison II helps a lot for a fast kill. I didn't bother with Paralyze because it didn't last long enough. During 2hr, Gravity and run back and forth from zone to the ledge casting Stoneskin when it breaks (Bind and Sleep II didn't stick so I'll assume they don't work). --Lorcas 12:46, 24 March 2007 (EDT)
  • Just like to add RDM/BLU can easily solo this, i didn't have to use 1 convert cycle, but buff as stated above except add ice spikes in there for instant paralyze to nm.--MadamX 03:42, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Extremely easy RDM solo. With /Blu sub for cocoon, a decent DEF build, a Tav Taco and full buffs (I sat at 700DEF) the NMs regular hits land for 0 even without stoneskin. Critical hits and WS were landing for single digit damages, his hundred fists is a joke to a rdm/blu.
  • Soloable by a level 75 NIN/WAR
  • "EASY" Soloable by a level 75 THF/NIN (The last poster posted that with bolts...? This is EASY soloable by a full EVA THF of course without it you need bolts but definitely "Recommended" to have an EVA build as I did this last night and I singlehandedly tanked all of hundred fists without 2hr or even getting hit.
  • Easily Trioed by MNK/NIN , WAR/NIN , and WHM/BLM
  • Soloable by a 75BST/WHM with 56npc. See Talk.
  • Soloable by a lvl 75 PLD/DNC, used Shield Bash at beginning of Hundred Fists. Put up Reprisal, then used Sentinal for the rest of the duration. Didn't even need to use 2-Hour. LOOOONG fight though.
  • Easily soloable by 75 MNK/DNC, kept Counterstance up the whole fight (with Melee Gaiters) and countered most of it's hits. Hundred Fists was a joke.
  • Done with 75MNK/DNC with 65 soothing healer npc. Counterstance makes everything easy, even without Melee Gaiters.
  • Solo'd comfortably on 75BLU/DNC using Protect IV, Regen and Refresh from fields of valor and a taco, using cocoon my def was about 650+ and most of the hits were doing 15-25 damage, recommend having at least 240 evasion, as he starts missing alot more. The counter job trait would be very useful here, but is far from necessary. Fight wasn't very hard.
  • Pretty easily trio'd by 75 RNG, THF, and DNC, all /NIN wearing standard gear, and no merits. THF tanked, RNG dropped bombs, and DNC main healed. THF tanks this fight very well, upon NM using Hundred Fists, THF let it eat through all his Utsusemi: Ni and Ichi shadows, then popped Perfect Dodge. THF 2 hr lasted as long as NM's did, so worked out perfect. Took 5 minutes, if that.
  • Solo'd SMN75/WHM37 took about 900 mp of carby kiting w/o YYR. little tricky, but if you can keep stoneskin up it's not too bad
  • Solo'd 75DNC/37NIN with NPC lvl 50 LinoBling 03:30, 14 July 2009 (UTC)Blino
  • Easily Solo'd 75PLD/DNC Much like above mention of PLD/DNC but some more detail: For gear I used OHat, Joyeuse, Koenig Shield, Iron Ram Hauberk, Royal Knight's Breeches, Fourth Hentzes, Gallant Leggings, Woodsman Ring, Garrulous Ring, Buckler Earring, Fowling Earring, Shield Torque, Potent Belt, Amemet mantle +1 and a Bibiki Seashell. Ecclectic mix of DD and minor defense, I know. Elvaan with 7/8 Sword merits, 0 acc issues on this NM. Got into yellow a few times when I wasn't paying close attention while talking in the LS. Also, he used Hundred Fists at ~72%, and did not use it again. Long fight, probably ~20 minutes. I used a Cure IV later in the fight but otherwise never really touched my MP other than Flash and Reprisal. Curing Waltz was enough. Like the above, never needed to 2hour on Hundred Fists, just used Shield Bash after I recognized it, then Reprisal and Sentinel. DiabloRojo 06:20, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
  • Easily Solo'd as SCH/RDM. Helix/bio/nuke and watch bind timer. Died very fast. 10mins~
  • 75 RDM/PLD Easily solod with decent melee gear and tav tacos, could have subbed anything he only broke my stoneskin once, most he hit for was 12 and I only had 500 defense, even his hundred fists couldn't touch me.
