Talk:Sheep in Antlion's Clothing

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

Does anyone know if a SMN pet can follow the main antlion when he burrows in the sand? --^Aviance|_Pandemonium 22:14, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

no a smn pet will not follow the nm

Has anyone been able to compleate this ENM since about 2 updates ago? we now 0/5 on finding the NM for last 25% we even took a full 6 person pt and had a line to cover more ground still have not been able to find it for last pop

Yep, just attempted and completed this run with a 6-person group, had to kill all antlions, but we still finished it in 11 minutes. Also, got a Hagun. XD --Docstu 10:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

We done it ~20th December with 5 players, no problem finding him, and we only found 2 adds before killing him. --Azurine.Gilgamesh 07:54, 7 January 2009 (UTC) User:Azurine.Gilgamesh

You can enter this ENM with more than 6 people. --Ghostsix Midgard 03:19, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

              I just fixed the page about number of members. --Briner 12:19, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

The "Can be easily trio'd" is very misleading. Trio'ing this requires luck and good knowledge of the ENM battle itself. --Jahaudant 04:04, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

I trio this every 5 days with MNK/WAR (Maxed counter), RDM/WHM and 1 DD or BLM. We win 95% of the time, usually killing all 3 hunters. We have also won this duo MNK/WAR and RDM/WHM or MNK/WAR and BLM/WHM, though much harder. 2 other groups trio it with the same setups. 2 hours and meds are not needed.

It's also possible to kill Tulchula in only 3 pops if your timing is good. Asuran Fists, Tornado II and Blizzard III timed to fire around 25% is usually enough to drop him before sandpit goes off. Quesela 15:37, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

To point out i would even go as far to say you could duo this with a rdm and a monk or sam. If you are very lucky with the adds that is and only pop the NM out. Would i tell you to do this? no but i am going to try it out myself in a day or two. My guess if you can somehow only pull up 1 add it can be done. Again this is all based off luck. dejey 23:51, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

• well i just duoed it today. whm and sam. 14min 56sec clear time. i would not say to do this... but it is fact that it can be done.dejey

Anyone know if the Hunters can be Charmed? I could swear they /checked decent challenge when i did this a month ago. --Chimeramage 18:46, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Successfully completed with BLU/RDM, BLU/NIN and RDM/WHM, all 75. BLU/RDM scouts for Antlions and you try to do as much damage as possible when the NM pops up. This was our first attempt and could probably have both BLUs out pulling next time, but either way it's slow going. We finished with 4 seconds left... -- Orubicon 17:45, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Duo this regularly on my RDM/WHM with Xenien MNK/WAR, often popping all 4 mobs. Quesela 04:45, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Just did this last night, I was the SAM in the setup and here is what we had: SAM/WAR (hume), BLU/NIN (galka), and RDM/WHM (taru). We ended up killing 2 of the hunters and the RDM kept the last one asleep while we searched for the real one. It took us 14 minutes and some change to complete, with no real danger. I happened to be the lucky guy that found the boss each time I think. His pit ambush was nowhere near as damaging as I had expected, doing around 200-350~ish when he found me. I used some sprinters shoes while searching for him in case anyone wants to use some in there, hope this helps!

Can be easily Duo'd by a MNK/NIN and a skilled RDM/WHM without any third party program, has nothing to do with luck, if Tuchulcha doesnt pop at the first try thats when the RDM shines keeping the adds asleep or kitting them around tossing cures and haste to the MNK when its posible.

• While you can do this Duo in such fashion, just keeping the MNK alive often drains the RDM's mana. Tulchula's pit ambush is no joke! I do this weekly as a trio for that reason. We go with MNK/NIN, XXX/NIN and RDM/WHM. This makes it much safer and takes about 5-8 minutes depending on how many additional hunters we get. --Gregedor 08:12, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
