Walkthrough

• Talk to Despachiaire "Located @ (K-10) of the top floor of Tavnazian Safehold" to get the Key Item Letter from Shikaree X.
• Go to Boneyard Gully and select the BCNM "Tango With a Tracker".
  • 30 Mins, 6 Members, Uncapped. Buffs are not lost on entry, and you do lose xp on death.
  • The Letter from Shikaree X is lost on entry. If you fail, you can get another from Despachiaire.
  • Those who have previously cleared this battle can enter the battlefield to help without any key item, but will not receive any reward.
• The enemies should be familiar from Promathia Mission 5-3-2:
  • Shikaree X: BST/NIN with two Daggers, ~4000 HP
    • Shikaree X's Rabbit: ~4500 HP
  • Shikaree Y: DRK/MNK with Scythe, ~4000 HP
  • As in Promathia Mission 5-3-2, the Shikarees have extremely high TP gain, sometimes beginning a WS one second after their last one.
  • They also share hate somewhat, and try to make Skillchains.
  • X and Y can be slept only with Elemental Seal. Also, Sleep only lasts 30 seconds, Sleep II about 35.
  • Unlike in the mission, Shikaree X's Rabbit can not be slept. However, it is susceptible to Bind and Gravity.
    • If you kill Shikaree X's Rabbit before Shikaree X she will summon another one.
• Suggested Order Of Attack: Shikaree Y -> Shikaree X -> Shikaree X's Rabbit.
• A team of 6 75's had no trouble winning.
• PLD THF WAR SMN, 5 minute battle, no issues!
• Soloable by RDM/NIN or /BLU by dots with difficulty.
