Went in there today to just throw a pt together to fight the bats and gigas'. Our setup was with a 24 MNK (me), 24 BST, 22 NIN, 23 BLM, 23 RDM, and 24 BLM. Before we decided to call it a day, I was pulling mobs and I saw the NM standing there. We decided to give it a go and we got him good, while everyone around the area watched. Fun times.

i killed it in three seconds flat with my blm, which was ~45 at the time. i dont think a 40drk will have a hard time at all ^^

i just fought the *******. 36war/18mnk. the fight was kinda long and i stopped payin attention during the battle for a min. that was a mistake. i didnt use my Selbina milks when i shoulda, no 2hr either. he used his mighty strikes and swept the floor wit me. not really. i almost had him. id say he had about 4 slivers worth of power, so like 1, maybe 2 more hits from me and i coulda took him. next time ill pay more attention and get my revenge!!

Found him at G-8 on first floor of lower tower. As a 48rdm/blm with refresh/stoneskin/haste/enfire and enfeebles he went down after steady swining and not much trouble. He used mighty strikes, but all in all I only took around 80dmg. I didn't nuke at all. He dropped the socks.
killed him

ran in as DRK49/THF15 and saw him at the doorway, kicked his a$$, and he did maybe 125 damgae to me, used mighty strikes but it did little, he dropped gigas socks and a maple shield. i dont think thats, good but he doesnt drop much else

Went into Lower Delkfutts today with my pt, 23RNG, 23RNG, 23WHM, 24NIN, 23MNK, 23BRD (me)

Saw him, built up some TP, full rest, took him on.

I used soul voice, Minuet II, Madrigal and Requiem II and backup healed, Monk used Hundred Fists. He went down hard

Got a pair of socks, a necklace, and some ice crystals, but it was the challange that made it worth it

Killed it today... heard some PT exping shout that he was out while i was coming down from the top. Anyways i went to him he was still there killed him got some socks. Woopee socks i know maybe i can use it as a stocking for next christmas or even a sleeping bag :/

BTW he spawned at (I-8 first floor) so im guessing he can spawn in that whole room.
thats the best this guy has?
# Jan 31 2005 at 12:29 AM Rating: Default
Thats the best this guy has... a maple shield??? no... no, he's not a quest NM so he HAS to drop something better than a crappy maple shield... i mean c'mon, hes tougher than the estimated levels he is said to be, therefore... he could only logically drop something better. i hope i find out ^^ good luck to all and my your heritage prevail!!

He does drop the Gigas Bracelets as well which, for when i checked at Asura Jeuno AH, sold for 9K last. But that was a few months ago. In order to get to him, I believe if you go into delkfutt via qufim, go left at the intersection. Go up the stairs in the next room. Stay to the left after you go up the stairs. In that little room, he does spawn. Just I don't know the spawn rate, I kinda stumbled on this room lol.
grrrr

I was in a PT yesterday, lvls 23-24 PLD,PLD,PLD,DRK,WAR, BLM (<-Me) with a lvl 30 WHM Pler. The DRK was pulling, and got him, and we fought him, and we won! all the PLD used 2hr, and so did I, near the end of the fight a high lvled PLd came and helped heal us! ^-^ It was the first NM i'd ever fought...and won.

Fought this guy as a 33bst. Went through about a dozen pets, had him down to less than 5% hp, he goes unclaimed when I call the last pet... and a 40+ drk/war provokes his and finishes him with one hit. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR........

first NM
# Dec 07 2004 at 4:59 PM Rating: Default
This was my first ever NM, it spawned while we we lvling in the tower. One of our cocky members said we can take him and picked a fight with him. We were all 24/25 and I was WHM. It was an incredibly long fight and without foods/ethers taken by me, we would have lost. Every member died and one died twice, high lvl raised him, he got hit again ><. Ended up me and the tank left with less than 10 HP when the final blow was given by my staff ^^. I got the giga socks on the lot and made 8k off of them.
No Tank

Party was like this lv 24-25 pt RNG BRD SMN WHM THF RDM. Since I am a Galka I became tank and also puller. This guy Argos we said lets do this. So I voke it did sharp shot Eagle shot SMN does Astral Flow. Thf has TP ready we do Distortion Renkei. Its so close to death but so are we WHM does 2 hour full HP and do another Piercing arrow boom Dead. 192 exp with all the drops listed except for the crystal since it was beastmen that took over Quifim.

this NM is evil i say! Evil!!!! i was leveling my RNG with a lvl 23-24 party and we were leaving cause the party was disbanding, and we turn the corner to the qufim zone, and BANG! outta nowhere i see this huge axe kill the PLD in one hit,i stopped and was like "Wtf, how did u die" and he said, "Dont turn the corner, someone zoned Epialtes" I was like "oh ****..." and the MNK and the WHM were right behind the PLD, and they died just as fast and furiously....i ahd to get to jeuno fast..and if i BP'd i woud delvl, so i figured..."Hey, i'll use Camouflage" and well....i ended up getting past him and out, but on my way to jeuno, i weas aggroed by a wight....and im sure you all can guess what happened next ;;
mutual death

well, i was farming in lower delkfutt's when i ran into this funny beast. i had about 2/3 HP and decided to give it a shot as a DRG45/THF22 (sub THF for gil drops while farming the normal gigas.)

well, it was down to basically 6-7 hits to kill him when he 2hred on my ***. hahah man, that was funny. especially since i had about 150 HP left when he 2hred, and he started hitting me for about 40-50.

i went back after HPing to upper jeuno and wanted revenge. i wasn't full on HP 'cause i stopped to take on some wights/banshees/weapons out in qufim. so i was going to rest, lest i should have a repeat, fall to lvl 44, and lose 3 pieces of armor.

unfortunately, he aggroed this lv.30ish RDM running around, so i had to jump in to save the day.

the RDM cure3'd me during the fight, and i was thankful! i saved his ***, he saved mine, and i made 10k off the drops.
