Vana'diel Bestiary: Ose

woot just got my jerkin drop today! i was 1/3 on him!

Took Ose down as 75Bst/37Nin! i have tried him as /whm before but i would advise going /nin purely for the fact that this guy loves to paralyze your pets makeing it hard to not get hate! i was still getting hate with my full -enmity gear! So i did die 3 times.... 2 deaths were due to misscharms... if "tame" fails even with 3 shadows up your gunna die wih a Torma and Ose beating on you!
the 3rd time i had Ose down to 5% got excited started saying things like..." wish me luck".. in my linkshell and of course being the noob i am wasnt looking where i was running until i see at the bottom of my screen... The Goblin Alchemist starts casting Holy on Anfos!!! >.< doh

lucky for me i was the only one camping him and was able to re-raise and take him down for the win!!!

p.s im not looking for excuses but it was lightnings day when i died and the Tormas are based on lightning which could explain my misscharms!
And when i did kill Ose it was Lightsday! ^^

Anyone know the pop rate for this thing? like how long it takes before it pops again?

Babyrazor Shiva 75Bst/nin,70 npc healerw/GK, CC crab, i'm solo 0/18 on this, place holders are easy to spot if you do a few fights, take some zeta foods for your pet and some acc+ foods for yourself. my last fight was the 76 version..i forgot pet food and acc+ food, was on my 3rd CC crab and my npc used "blessed radiance" sacrificing herself to save my butt. killed Ose with 306 hp left. i use cc crab exclusively for "snarl" i had alot of missed axe hits on the 76 version..hence my bringing acc+ foods in the future. the poor drop rate is probably why i hardly see anyone on Shiva camping this.

0/7
Drop rate is rumoured to be about 20%
Seems very iffy.

Going to try again~

For the record, he ALWAYS spawns up North, near the middle of the tunnels, around that area.

First of all, the information from Turnerbrown is very accurate and helpful to those soloing and without widescan. Entering the room, you can find the group that has the extra torama. I kill every one in that section, marking the times. At the 16 minute mark when they repop, I take note of where they are. If one of the repops occurs in a different section than it's previous location, then you have your PH. In general, you'll start knowing it's one of two or three, and by marking times and watching repops, you can isolate the PH.

This helps tremendously when soloing, as I don't have the time to kill all of the toramas at once. I want to be able to kill the PH as quickly and often as possible. As far as soloing him, I went as 75 RDM/NIN using the sleep-nuke method. The main reason I used /NIN was that the enparalyze effect from Ose if very annoying. Rather than bring meds, I just nuked once and slept over and over, reapplying Utsusemi every time. This kill is easy and very boring, but I'll take boring over being paralyzed and dead any time. Ose is very easily slept (never resisted me once).

if anyone on shiva is in need of this, look up 'nolet'. i am in need of it too. and always easier to do it as a group

nice pic

Nice screenshot....Miss!......gotta love the toramas.

1/1 on this sucker. Friends and I have been camping NMs for each other for fun (out of boredom). It was my turn to pick one. :) Ran down to the Ose room. An /anon and afk 75 NIN was in the tunnel leading to the room as well as a party of 6 poorly geared /anon /unlinkshelled melee job Mithras EXPing. (HmmmMMmmm...)

Had my girlfriend 75 PLD, my bud 75 BLM and I 75 RDM and we just started offing the Toramas. They were DC to me; we killed all of them clearing the room of them. Offed a few gobs while waiting for the repops.

After our 2nd or 3rd repop kill, the next one was Ose! He popped on the other side of the room. Ran over into Dia range and fired off, GF provoked right behind me. Ran it back to our tunnel and started working on him.

This sucker has A LOT of HP. BLM friend landed 2 unresisted Burst 2's and 1 Freeze 2 and it was still kicking. He wasn't hitting very hard on the PLD; I kept Phalanx 2 on her (merited 2 points into it). She kept hate while I debuffed and cured status and the BLM nuked. BLM ended up Manafonting because he was tired of waiting for MP to regen, Thunder 4 and Thundaga 3 ended it.

Assault Jerkin dropped as well as 2000g and Ose Whisker. Now my RDM has some shiny (Or leathery?) new Melee gear to add to his arsenal. ^^

SE should realy make this and all NM`s pop like Despot. Clamed to the one that killed the place holder. I cant tell you how meny times ive popped Ose just to have him stolen by ppl just standing invised by the Bones. I`m so tired of popping Ose for the Leechers.
Im camping as Bst and often has 1 or 2 partys just following me around letting me and my friends do all the "dirty work".
And leaving without popping him just becouse there are 2 other party`s there makes the tripp there a waste of time aswell has having him stolen

Edit: Im not totally sure on of the Despot clame works. I can se a problem if Ose would come running after an exp party just cuz they happened to kill the PH. But it would be nice if it popped red then go yellow after a while if you deside not to engage in a fight

4/5 on the jerkin drops using mnk and blm so far lol....never camped it with my thf yet....prolly rate goes down then.....he he he

I used the info of the poster below and it was spot on - cheers for that man helped a lot.

Went 1/2 in the end - soloed both times as BST75/WHM37 and it was easy really. Both times there was no competition so I didnt have to worry about it getting stolen. Very good evening started when I logged on and saw Mystic on Wide Scan, ran there claimed and it dropped. Killed 2 or 3 PHs which took abotu 50 mins or something and it popped.

Im happy :)

The simple explanation:

Using Widescan at the Ose camp, you'll find a group of 8 Torama in the room where Ose pops - 2 in the tunnel to the SE, the other 6 scattered around the room.

Focusing your attention on the last 3 Torama, you will see one of these two situations:

Torama - on the east side of the room
Torama - on the WEST side
Torama - on the WEST side. This is one placeholder.

or:

Torama - on the east side of the room
Torama - on the east side of the room. This is the other placeholder.
Torama - on the WEST side of the room.

***I've double checked to make sure I wrote that right.
If the last 2 are on the west side, the 2nd one is PH.
If the last 2 are split east and west, the east one is PH.***

For those w/o widescan, it's tougher, but you can narrow it down some.

Dividing the room into the 4 corners, SW, NW, NE, and SE, you can kind of tell where the placeholder is:

There will always be:
2 Torama IN the SE tunnel
2 Torama BY the SE tunnel (in the room, but not in the tunnel)
2 Torama by the SW tunnel
1 Torama by the dead end in the NW corner.

(There can also be 1 or 2 torama at the NE corner: Don't bother with these, they're unrelated. I say "can be" because those Torama like to disappear for an hour/hours after they're killed - I've no idea why.)

That makes 7 Torama. The 8th one, the placeholder, will either be among the two near the SE tunnel, or mixed in with the ones on the west side of the room.
In other words:
-If NW corner has 2 Torama, one is PH
-If west side of room has 4 torama, the PH is on that side.
-If SE part of the room has 3 Torama, the PH is there. (don't count the 2 in the tunnel.)

That's about as good as I can describe it. I don't know a good respawn time offhand, though others have posted their experiences. I've seen a 6 hr repop, so I usually just come back 4 or 5 hrs after ToD if I want to pop Ose a second time, or help someone with Mysticmaker.


Of course, if you can kill all the Torama in 16 minutes or so, then you don't need any of this. XD

Me (Bard) and my Duo friend espio (paladin) decided while we were camping a NM for my rbo we would see if Ose was there as there was only 2 people in the area that night...
So start killing and yay he spawns as soon as he did a player logged on >.> so we dropped the mob we were fighting to kill it.. I finsihed off the mob and espio started on Ose. Espio was being hit from5-120 damage he hit quite bhhard for sure but with Elegy the fight was alot easier. Ose also as you all know spams paralyze and Silence so reommend a /whm to easily deal with this..Ose died within 10 mins no drop;; better luck next time... He is quite easy for the level you set him at i would definatly say near the 65 rather than 70

Fun fight all go get urself a AJ!

75 blm/whm 75 drg/sam
easy day.

Just wanted to add my two cents about this fight. I was bored with nothing to do atm and asked a 69RDM friend to come duo this with me as iam a 75NIN.
Started killing PH's and it popped exactly on the hour. So we attack and finish it off no problem, *cough* even though my rdm friend had 19 whm sub lmao
But this thing is duoable with RDM and NIN........ 1/2 drop :P



Good luck to all who seek this mofo.

yea saw this dude pop well we were resting and said lets kill him for the hell of it so we did i went behind the pld in pt and did sata +cross reaper= 1000 damage yea but the pld moved and i got hate but i stayed alive becuase our whm did a good gob healing me and a 75 came by and helpd me out yea no drop but thank god that 75 came around or our pt would be dead meat
0/1

Easily soloable by SMN75. 0/2 though ; ;

Takes over an hour to carby kite it to death. With blink and stoneskin up at all times, the hardest part is pulling him.

Ok well to start off I just wanted to say that I have camped this NM on 3 seperate occasions and only seen him once. When he did pop he pop on the Northwest wall anf from what I read that seems to be a common spot for him to pop.

I also noticed that his spawn time is not listed so just for the record its not a fun one he is a lottery spon with a 2-8 hr respawn. 6 hr window sure isnt very fun.

WEll any way me and my 75RDM/NIN friend camped this today and after 5 hrs of hard work killing off place holders we see OSE pop. WE are like estatic and all that and we ran to over to get it but got a manticore link and during that fight we gat spammed by its weaponskill move that reduces max MP. we finish the fight and rest up to full mana run towards OSE and all the sudden I see the words "SeanJean starts casting paralyze..." long story short they kill the NM.

Anyone out there feel sorry for me. I mean we camped the thing 5 hrs today and we lose the notorious monster to a random person walking by... I'm so PO'd...

So for the record SeanJohn..... I hate you lol

last night i was at onzozo camping ose for 9 hours with 2 friends, we claim it
and smn starts to kite to entrance, and we nuke sleep nuke and repeat this process, 99% later we all wipe random guy enters the zone hits it once and it dies, im praying it didn't drop, then he raises us and puts on the assault jerkin, i never want to go back... setup was 74 smn 72 blm 66 thf(me)

tripple post ;-;

Killed again today with PLD/NIN, THF, RDM, SMN.... PLD got his drop and i'm now 3/5 on this guy

Does anyone know the PH on this mob? <Can I have it?> Looking into it. Used the meathod on LL 1/1 and VE 3/4 w/ great success and would like to apply to this mob.

Camped this stupid creature for TEN hours. And he did not pop.

We were the only ones in the entire zone (aside from fishing bots)
And he never popped. We killed Narasimha about 5 times, got about 8 skin things.

But Ose never popped.....

I wonder why? I'm 69WHM, I got 4.5k exp from killing toramas, and I was getting about 20-40 exp a kill... hahaha.

Imagine how many toramas we killed.

69rdm and 75blm last night duo'd him while waiting for Moldavite gob to pop. 0/1 on Ose, and 0/16 for Mysticmaker. Grrrr.

We just sleep 2, nuke, sleep 2, nuke... kept grav on him. No sweat.. took no damage.

what do u guys think can a 75 pld/nin and a 75 brd/whm take this??? I assume it would be easy like this, brd stays away from paralyze and silence, while i tank and do damage might take a while but with mages balad shouldnt be a problem.

hey my sister maskeeta and her boyfriend stridingcloud took me to kill this NM i got a assult jerkin and alot of good iteams YAY!
