Vana'diel Bestiary: Lumbering Lambert  

oops, double post

Edited, Fri Mar 31 09:23:25 2006

went to go camp this sucker, got to the camp by walking, it was already up when i got there, i whored it real fast, finished with Savage Blade and got 3 skins and the horn, easy easy fight only hit me once for 20 damage, missed every JA lol, as PLD72

Just got done soloing him, was a peace of cake as a 40DRK/20THF

;D

Finally took this shoop out yesterday. Camped it for only about a half an hour after numerous 2-3 hour camping trips. Killed him as a 50mnk/14rng. No problem at all of course but he did use a petrify attack that I resisted. I don't know how I managed to beat out the 50rng/25thf who was also hunting him. It was my time, I guess. Got the horn and completed the Bastok Purple Belt quest. I only activated the quest some 2 and a half years ago...<sarcasm>

Ram Spawn Times and Information

The normal Rams in the area (Battering Ram) respawn @ 4 game hours from Time of Death.

I killed 2 placeholders around the northwest side of the valley around the G-10 area. Lumbering Lambert popped between the mountain ranges @ H-8. This is a bit outside the range shown on the NM maps I've seen, including the one on this page.

Best bet obviously is Widescan - a level 1 Ranger's is sufficient. Beastmaster 20 isnt as good, but better than nothing.

Follow the road east and west from H-9 to I-9. Scan every few game minutes. Once you've found and killed a Ram, note time of death, and expect another to pop in this area 4 game hours later.

41MNK/10RNG

Just killed this guy after 2 and a half hours of battering rams, and a death from the evil Bloodtear Baldurf.

I used hundred fists because he made me wait so damn long and he went down within a minute, Ragingfists did 403 damage.

Now I can finally start the brown belt quest.

Good luck all trying to get him.

I was raising Jeunonian fame, and was passing through La Theine to get to Selbina. "Heh," I thought to myself. "If I see a Battering Ram, I'll dismount my chocobo and whack it around." I reached (H-9) (I was taking the shortcut to Valkurm by going through the pass between the mountains and the ravine), and sure enough, Lumbering Lamberts big fuzzy behind was right next to the road! I dismounted, popped Hundred Fists, Berserk, Dodge, and Focus (nobody was around, for some reason) and wailed onto the poor sheep. He was down in about 2.7 minutes, and I was down to 66 HP from the extra damage I was taking from Berserk. I got two ram horns, a skin, and a Lumbering Horn. Now I just need to find the Rampaging Ram and I'll have two Purple Belts! (Got this one as a birthday present, will use 1 in the brown belt quest)

My first encounter with this little bugger:

I logged on and decided to do some farming (leathercraft). So I was running through La Theine Plateau, omw to the Konchat Highlands. I ran past a group of 3 people (level 30 at the most) and they were fighting him. By the time I got there he had a little less than 3/4 of his health left and they were all at about half (I knew that they were all gonna die). So I decided to stick around and watch. This caused me to get that stupid HP down affect...it took me all the way to 190 (I had 760).
I then walked off to the side to heal myself when they called for help. I got back to about 300 health so I figured that I was ok to fight. Well...they all 2-houred which brought him to about 1/3 of his health and then they all died. So I fought for a bit and took him to a bit less than 1/4 and then he got me really low so I'm like, "ok, f*** this."
So I start running then I see this level 75 rdm who laughed at me and some little dude he was PLing who also laughed (btw, both of them are now on my blist). So I am running and make it near the zone and then he kills me. I figured that this was expected so I wasn't too angry.
What really pissed me off though was that a level 60ish whm walked up behind me right as I clicked "return to home point". And once I zoned he sent me a /tell saying, "hehe, thanks for the drop ^_^". Needless to say...I got pissed off and shut the game down.

Well, I was standing around Jeuno and decided to finally get around to trying on the Purple/Brown Belt quests. I've had the Rampaging Horn for quite a while now, and so I got a Teleport-Holla to go kill Lambert. I'm a 70THF and I subbed RNG.

Ran southwest... widescan... sure enough he was there, Flee, Steal. Probably wasn't necessary because nobody was around anyway. Barrage hit for 611 with acid bolts and Slug Shot hit for 1117 or more (killed it). Time for brown belt quest now.

Ok, so I was running through La Thiene Platue and I was like, "Ok, gotta get the Lumbering Lambert for the purple belt quest!" So I rolled through there on my choco to where i thought he would be, I was looking almost 15 secs and found him. Dismount'ed, and {Chi Blast}'ed it for the claim, got him down about to 2/5 life and he used great bleat, my hp went from 1022/1022 (He had never hit me, i countered everything) to 255/255. Then he started laying the poundage on me, he got 7 criticals, and I used {Raging Fists} for 605 dmg to end the fight.I had 50/255 HP. Score ended up: Faudy:1 Lumbering Lambert:0

Ok as i post below i have spent a crap load farming him, well i was up in the 17hour mark of farming him. still no spawn, well after the update i loged in, (when i search world i was about the 500+ person to log into the new reset server.) and after about 25min. he spawn almost dead center of G-10, (so his spawn area is a lot greater than listed above on the map) so my lvl 42monk/20ranger (ranger for wide scan)took him down without loosing 150hp just bost chi blast then let loose hundred fist then into bost chi blast, boost raging fist and that was about it. then i ran over to the highland and got the other ram in 10min, after that i got two other NM that day. (love server reset day)
