I was in a party (54-56) that was leveling in Boyahda today and the RNG accidentally pulled this. Luckily he was smart enough not to bring it to us (funny that at this level not all are) so he ran to zone as quickly as possible. A level 70 party picked it up for us as he was zoning. I forgot what this dropped so I didn't ask to see if our RNG could have it since its rare/ex.
we owned it >.> fairly easily lol
73pld/war
66whm/blm
71(I think o.O)smn/whm
60brd/whm
60rdm/blm
never once got in trouble.....well near the beginning while we were all buffing(had ot snag before another group) the pld got orange, but that was quickly/easily taken care of. Dropped 3k, crab meat, crab shell, and the francisca.....a rng from our linkshell was in the area so we gave it to him XD
--Saw full PT of 73-75 (Pld was 75) get there asses handed to them... offcoarse they was JP. -- I find that hard to believe.........lol

My static party of lv65 pld, 65 sam (me), 65 mnk, 65 whm, 65 blm, and 64 rdm took aquarius fairly easily. PLD, MNK, and i did use our 2 hrs although it was unnecessary (just wanted to kill it as soon as possible so we could get back to xping). Just make sure to have barwatera on the party at all times and let the PLD hold the hate. 3-4 skillchains + double MBs brought it down to about 1/4 HP so it's definately doable. Just plan ahead and make a darkness and/or distortion skillchain.
I beat this in an alliance with lv65 paly, me (whm58), another upper 50's whm, an upper 50's rdm, a mid 60's rdm, a lower 50's blm, an upper 50's blm, a mid 60's war and a lv74 bst. The melee barly got a chance to land a blow on it because the paly ran in circles when it started wacking him for 200 a blow. The rdm cast gravity on it repeatedly, while the blm ancient magiced it to death, then rested mana while the paly ran more gravitied-monster circles, and ancient magiced it some more. Took a few interations of that. The melee was pointless, no one could hit it with it being run in circles, and the idiot paly kept running out of cure range so you had whm's chasing him all around the zone. It was a lot of fun, and we beat it, but no cloth drop :\
It's normal attack rate is '100fists' speed.

Actually Spawns around H-9 of the first map of Boyahda tree. It appears to be a lottery pop with the Robber Crabs there, with a long interval between pops.
People who are camping the Robber Crabs there beware. High Level alliances come in all the time to attempt to kill Aquarius and many of them fail, leaving Aquarius there to wander around away from his usual spawn point and wipe out any remaining parties on his way back. Furthermore, his drops and level make him a highly desirable source of Damascene Cloth (he is one of the lowest-level sources of the stuff after King Arthro and Francisca is an EXCELLENT axe), and as such the competition is fierce.
Further warning: Due to his insane damage output and fast attack speed he is a 'PK' mob. In order to rid themselves of competition, alliances have been known to get this thing's attention with a Blinked Mage, then run it to another camp as the Mage Warps out or dies, leaving Aquarius within aggro range of another hapless party. This happened to my xp gain party and got our BRD killed. This put my party in a very rotten mood and we blacklisted every member of that party.

The key to fighting this is the NIN tank.
Today i saw 2 people .. L75NIN and L70+ Rdm kill it rather easy
Pld do not typically do well vs it...
Mid 60's PT can kill it with NIN tank ... cloth we got was worth 720k on Cerberus

Drops Damascene cloth, 3 of which are needed to make Vermillion cloak.
this sound aggros for sure lol
My friends and I found Aquarius and snagged it, party was 2 half alliances. 61THF (me), 62 PLD, 62PLD, 62 BLM, 62 WHM, 72 BLM, 54 WHM, 61 WHM, 70 RDM, AND 62 RNG. He f'cking owned us. He hits like the avatars do, melee may only be 100 at best, but the added effect Enwater he has does 200+. After PLDs got owned we had to give up flag to a team of 70's that barely killed it. (one of them a player I hate, who died, yay for that.)

Yeah, luckily it only killed the PLDs ^^;
Last night while in this zone I saw 2 60ish BSTs kill this thing. They had to practically use every spider and death cap in the zone and it took them about 45 minutes but they won.
