for all the melee's trying to take him down solo, his defense is immense. When I did it:

75 whm/nin
60 blm/whm
51 rdm/whm
51 war/nin <-- me

I spawn it and we start fighting. the whm is trying to hold hate with flash and cures, but i keep grabbing hate. He said "dont voke!". I go "i havent". anyway, we're hitting for like 20-30 a hit. then the rdm has a great idea and casts dispel. he hadnt cast anything, but it said "Protect affect wears off" we started hitting for 50-60. of course this was at his 25% hp, so it went fast after that.

i soloed this guy at 75 ranger.. i almost died, he took me to 1/4 hp, i got him to 50% hp. so i ran zone in the bcnm area. he hits me 100+ a a hit with tons of hp. my sidewinder only hits 500+, and didnt even look like i took 1/8 oh his hp.
Duo

Duo'ed it twice :

1st) with a 70 Smn
and
2nd) with a 74 Thf/Nin

Why twice? Cause I had my inventory full the fist time and I lost the egg. I am that kind of morron/idiot/noob.
hehe

Took my buddy to get all his WAR af. I'm a cocky ****** so i said we didnt need any help. (65rdm and he's a 52war) I was wrong. He hits very hard.Killed me after about a 10 min fight, and the war died right after. He asked if we should find help and i said no.... (remember im cocky) Changed sub to NIN and went back. Told the war to stay away cuz i didnt wanna lose hate to him and have him die. Soloed him with ease. He may be 53 in lvl but he hits like a truck. Also woulda been nice to have a BLM when he used his 2hr.
hahaha 53

Wrong. I killed him at L63 BST with a L60 RDM and got 9 xp (with 30% xp penalty because of pet). That makes him 10 levels lower than me - 53.

Most NMs are far tougher than a normal mob at the same level.
#REDACTED, Posted: Jan 05 2005 at 9:04 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I don't understand why people seem happy and proud for beating a mob with another player 5 or more levels above the mob's level range in their party. Sure I understand you are happy to have your boots, but why would you feel a sense of accomplishment for killing something without a challenge? I just don't get the psychology behind that, I guess.
not tough

I was helping my lsmate get her kazham keys when we wandered into the nest. Found the lesser NM and I killed it with ease, being a WAR32. I came back maybe 20 minutes later to ANOTHER NM, Ni'Ghu.
I'll let you draw your own conclusions:
WAR32/MNK7 (gimp) vs. Lv.53 PLD NM

My friend needs his silly red boots, and what fine damage a SAM60 can do <<; oh yes, it's payback baby.

I can kinda verify this, I solo'd this NM being BST71/WHM35 on my second try:

On my first I used RR2 neck, Tav Taco (i knew I'd get hit), Fungus, blink, stoneskin, and gathered 300 tp... stupid WS from fungus missed, I had to use 2 fungus and still died when NM was @ 4%... was pretty pissed.

Second try, no RR neck, meat mithkabob (cuz im cheap), Fungus, and all the same as above, Fungus managed to land Spore, which owned, got the NM to 10% then fungus died, poped a second one and owned the damn thing, just remember to have full mp, i did used it.
harder then we guessed

We did this last night for a LS memember.
56 Pld me
60 whm
62 Drk
52 War
50+ Sam
50+ Drk

it was ALOT harder then we though it was going to be. It was hitting me from 60 to 90 and its TP moves for around 200+ I would take a 60+ Pld for sure or have a rdm or brd for refresh I ran out of MP and so did the whm. It had alot of HP and we didnt hit it very hard so I would have a blm as well. And get everyones TP to 300 before you fight I'm sure that would have helped alot hehe

When I was going into Palbourgh I saw a PLD level 57 I believe and he was out of mp and HP was down to at least 1/10 so then I"m ok and walk in and the begining is swarming with Quadav and this guy at lvl 32 MNK with mining equip he hit for 2 355+ hits and killed me after I"m hit by about 500 nukes
not too hard

Hurray for my pic with corrected name.

But it still says not aggro, which is BS. He took me out when I was dumb enough to stick around after he killed that party. I wouldn't be surprised if he links either.
Unfortuneately, Easy!

did this with the following pt:
75pld 75blm 75nin and 3 51 wars
as expected with this pt, Ni'Ghu was no match
also, there is a short time for it to be able to spawn again, around 3 minutes or so
2nd Time is a charm

We fought this guy yestersday the first time and it wasnt pretty. My party consisted of:

53WHM/26BLM <----me
51PAL/25War
50MNK/25SAM
51War/25MNK

We were a little cocky going into this thinking he was a 52 no problem. Big mistake. He was hitting our pally for 125 almost everytime and he had used defender and a fish kabob his defense was well over 400. Anyway it got to the point where i had to dem us in the middle of the battle(ghetto escape) to save everyone from dieing. When we got to DEM our pally had 5P. Whew!!! We decided we needed some more fire power and came back the second time with this party:

53whm/26BLM <<---me
51PAL/25War
50MNK/25SAM
51War/25mnk
53BLM/26WHM
60PAL/30WAR

This battle was alot easier. The 60 pally tanked and even with the MOB using invincible there wasnt any problems. We had to fight him twice(for the 60 pally friend who wanted the egg also. We didnt do anything special just hit hard and fast. I can confirm that I also tried to silence him with elemental seal twice with no luck. He might have a resistance to silence. I had enough time to take to take some screen shots. I sent them in I hope it gets posted.

If anyone ever needs any help in Gilamesh send me a tell.


Tough sucker
# Sep 15 2004 at 1:20 AM Rating: Decent
Just fought this sucker, was alot harder than we were expecting. He's immune to Silence by the way, or at least, he resisted two Elemental Seal+Silences, so...

We had all lv 52:

WAR/THF
THF/NIN
RDM/BLM
WHM/SMN
BLM/RDM

And it was a very challenging fun fight. Didn't have any deaths, but very close.

I killed him last night with my LS. He was pretty easy.

Took us about 2 min and he didnt even get his 2 hour off. Because of our blm. (Gotta love that ancient magic)

Party setup was 50war/mnk <me> ; 63 blm/whm ; 62 rdm/blm ; 53 sam/mnk ; 63 thf/??? ; and 50 whm/blm.

Easy, with a lvl 75 ^^

The mob's name is Ni'Ghu Nestfender. Not Nickel'Ghu.

Also, at level 63 he gave me 8 experience in a party of 5. I was surprised at how hard he was able to hit me. A few regular shots landed for 90 damage, that after I had eaten a fish mithkabob.

I can confirm this. I was wondering why several websites list it as Nickel'Ghu. It is indeed Ni'Ghu Nestfender.

Nickel'Ghu Nestfender has a paladin job (mages keep it silenced)

Requires a full level 50-53 party to defeat it

Nickel'Ghu Nestfender will use Invincible halfway through the fight, so you will need a blm in the party. While Invincible is active, the blm needs to bombard it with its best Thunder spell (Invincible does not protect against magic).

My party (53 war, 51 war, 52 blm, 52 whm, 53 pld, 52 thf) defeated it handily. we had to defeat it twice because it only drops 1 quadlav egg and both warriors needed it.
