Duo'd w/ WHM/BLM + PLD/NIN

I've been duo'ing this as WHM75/BLM37 w/ LS friend as PLD75/NIN37. The fight is pretty easy until the stupid Spider spawns, then it gets a little more interesting. We didn't have any trouble though w/ myself Repose'ing the spider every 90 seconds and paralyze/dia II/slow the NM while hasting PLD. It's just a pretty long fight. When a PLD75/WAR37 was helping out we were able to take it down before the Spider respawns.

Trioed today 75 pld/nin 74 thf/nin and 75whm/blm.Was interesting fight to start cause thf pulled an add with the NM,so i(pld/nin) soloed the add while he fought the NM,we ran out of echo drops like 30mins before NM popped,so this made it interesting.... Then one of the spiders in the corridor we pulled to repopped,i switched to spider,soloed again. At this point,mob is at about 40% health,he 2hrs,we lol. After 2HR finished,went back to beating it down,didnt hit very hard,had terrible accuracy,sh*t ton of HP,antican paladin norm. All that effort and no drop though even with TH3, oh well,be back in 2HR's, 0/1.

Party:

Morpheen (75BRD)
Archanghell (75WAR)
Apocalypce (75NIN)
Niusha (65THF)
Atoc (54THF)
Tianjinn (75WHM) (me)

Purpose: Get Morpheen and myself Star Spinels to complete "Crying over Onions" quest.

As we completed Zilart Mission 11/12 for a Linkshell member, we decided to get the Spinels. So as we run around Altep and get to the Quick Sands Cave entrance, I walk around the corner and BAM, Sand Tarrantula aggros me to sound. Learned fast to sneak up here since everything here aggro to sound, and we killed it. As I proceed leading the party to the Spelunking Sabotender area in the back of H-7, I scan the area for NMs and target Proconsul XII, I stopped and yelled everyone back to the hallway.

They are like what?

Tianjinn >> NM alert
Atoc >> Drop?
Tianjinn >> dont know, wanna kill it?
Niusha >> yeah!!
Tianjinn >> lets pull and clear the room I dont want links...
Morpheen >> Attack Song
Tianjinn >> Pulling

Tianjinn casts dia 2 on some antican in the way, he was BLM btw he flared me, 14 hp left from 972 weak flare I was lucky. I linked 2 other Anticans. Pulled to the Hallway, Morpheen sleeps the links, except one of thieves hits one, Morpheen sleeps them again. I heal up and look up on my laptop next to me what it drops. I see a sword on the list and I am like O.O?

We kill the 3 anticans and pull 2 more indiviually. We rest up, and pull Proconsul XII, he is TALL, fully armored. His head looked like a M1A1 tank. He is Paladin so the usual PLD type spells, dia, banish, flash, etc. I believe when he hits below 50% he will do Invicible. I did see him do it but I think he was about 30% health. So do expect him to use PLD 2 hour. About 10 minute battle since he kept silencing us with Antican Radar Jamming ability. He spams that like crazy and does a few times petrify manuveur sand pit? or something like that.

Not too bad, most us are at 75% or higher health after Proconsul XII dies, guess he was consulted poorly about us, hehe. Since this was first time we encountered him, we expected something but we got a big surprise the Dainslaif sword a few ores. We all looked at each other, seeing it was rare/ex said Apoc & Arch lot on it since the rest of us couldnt use it at the moment. Arch got a new sword. We proceeded to kill Spelunking Sabotenders, spiders and anticans while waiting on pops. 5 spiders, 4 anticans and 6 Sabotenders later we get the 2 spinels: 4th - Sabotender drops 1st Spinel and the 5th dropped the 2nd Spinel, 6th was aggro, we had TH2 x2 and most of carry 4-leaf and Lucky tail so mission accomplished. Considering getting to ZM11/12 we had aggro hell and had to kill to get to the spot since a few people forgot sneak oil. Then again that part of the journey was an alliance so links and aggro were expected.

RDM/NIN solo

Solo'd this last night as RDM/NIN. Had a party of 70DRG/WAR, 67WAR/NIN and 75THF/NIN help me clear the room beforehand and took care of any repops from the spider.

This fight isn't particularly difficult. The NM casts Flash A LOT and Banish II, on top of its melee attacks. So your shadows can go down relatively quick. But with enough +Haste% + Fast Cast, you shouldn't worry too much with recast timers. You'll have to dispel it every now and then, as it casts ProIV and Shell III. I recommend using Spirits Within as your main WS and using Joytoy + Genbu's shield. At first, I was using Martial anelace + Joytoy combo, but when shadows were gone and Stoneskin + Phalanx was taking a beating too often, I decided to go with the shield. It dropped the Danslaif, Antican Pauldron, and a bunch of ores on my first try, so that was a cool thing to see.

I suggest eating meat or +attack food. You shouldn't have too much trouble with accuracy, even with Flash. Bring echo drops and be wary of its Petrify TP move. It shouldn't last too long as RDM gets native Resist Petrify traits. It will 2hr between 50-75% HP, but you shouldn't worry, as Enaero will still still do its damage. It's a long fight as it has some huge defense and lots of HP, and also casts CureIV from time to time. You can cast Slow and Paralyze to help stop the casting too much, but it resists Silence, so be careful of that.

Have fun!

Killed it today with

RDM75/BLM37
THF75/NIN37 (me)
SAM70/THF35

To pull the NM, the RDM rounded up the all the Antica in the room and Sleepga'd them, I pulled the NM to the corridor with the spider (which we cleared beforehand), and the RDM logged off so the links would depop. After that, it was smooth sailing. I had no trouble keeping shadows up and my evasion gear is minimal. Got the sword and a crapload of ores.

Our set up:

PLD75/NIN37 (me)
NIN72/WAR36
SMN72/WHM36
WHM70/SMN35
BLM68/WHM34

Fight went fine, brought a BLM along the second time to sleep tarantula which spawned in corridor. Bounce tanked it with the NIN comfortably and let rip a ful TP/HP spirits at start for about 700 damage.

Advise everyone to bring echo drops, eye drops and yagudo drinks as it can get annoying sometimes with its Flash and Jamming Wave.

I also noticed it 2-HRd and used Invincible like halfway during the fight, as we had a spell of hitting it for zeros, but didn't see the 'Proconsul XII uses Invincible' text, idk perhaps I overlooked it. Apart from that it went pretty smoothly and the drops we got at the end were a dark crystal, antican paudron, 2x iron ores, darksteel ore and of course, a nice dainslaif which I got, as well as 21 exp and 1.2k gil :)

Well just Duo'd this one successfully. Elvaan PLD/NIN 75 and Hume RDM/BLM 72. I knew we were going to win just before the fight was 1/2 over when the NM had more than 50% hp left and the PLD had over 75% mp and I hadn't converted yet. (Still had over 150mp to go) We were both buffed, he was debuffed and both of us were refreshed. A Spider that we killed a bit before the pull did spawn on us, but Sleep II kept him a non-concern til the end of the fight. Proconsul dropped the Dainslaif, which of course the PLD got. In the end, and only because of the stupid spider pop we were just around 1/2 hp each and a tad low on mp. Had the spider not popped and aggro'd we woulda been better off at the end. This NM is easily duo'd with a PLD/NIN tank and a RDM/BLM.

My linkshell went after him last night.. really easy to get to. we had an alliance of 9 players...52-71. I tanked at 64 pld. No deaths and killed him in about 5 minutes. We had one Antican spawn while fighting but was slept. We also got the Dainslaif drop. Nice sword. I gave it away to another pld in LS. I believe spawn rate is 2 hours without placetakers. Good Luck!!

took this guy down tonight while trying to get the drop for star necklace.

it was me(67 bst), my brother(67 bst), and a 74 brd(samuy). piece of cake. the spiders and cactaurs in the area can handle him very easily. The spiders and cactaurs are decent-tough to me at 67 and this guy is only 72, so with 2 bsts this was a snap.

we had to swap pets every couple minutes when our pets got low. took about 2-3 swaps before he was dead.

we got the sword, 2 iron ores, a mythril ore, and an antican pauldron

fought this bad boy last night a few tips... have your mages/pld carry echo drops stupid ants...
no drop of the sword... while you're looking for him make sure you have plenty of silent oils or you notify your mages ahead of time and find a safe spot to recast sneak.

Wow, this was one of the most funnest fights i've ever fought in. My four LS members (Teleri-66Ninja, Shinsengumi-66Samurai, Tasuki-65Bard, and Epifiny-66White Mage) and I, (67Thf)were running around killing spelunkers when we ran into this fella.

We had nothing better to do so we decided to kill it, we'll we took 2 shots at it, first fight we woulda finished, but the whm got aggroed by a spider pop and decided to make a run for the door and aggroed some other anticans, sam died, and whm died while escaping, we all made it out though.

The 2nd fight went a lot better, but the NM was being more devious by using a lot more silence AOEs then usual, he made the whm use all 3 echo drops in the first minute, this thing has a huge! amount! of life! Our Sc was tachi:enpi, Dancing Edge, and Blade:ten for darkness. Sucha crazy fight, but boy was it fun. Spider popped again, and I had to tank it for a while, the Sam then joined me, and the ninja was left tanking on his own. Bard refreshed whms mp and backup healed and did some enfeebles here and there, and whm was on silena/stona cure duty.

Finally killed it after a good 10+minutes, got the dainslaff, adaman ore, and xhifut head, w/e that is. Gave the dainslaff to the sam since it was no good to the rest of us, gives him motivation to lvl his war now :P

Btw, I had to pull this sucker and it was no easy task, first pull i linked an antican, 2nd pull we cleared out little by little, the anticans and the NM are in such close proximity that they can link pretty easily, you'll need a good puller for this guy ^^

Happy hunting.

I killed this with 70 nin 75 war and 74 whm. Easy battle only hard part was the start since we had to kill spider + antican at the same time so i was tanking the antican and war took spider. Overall easy fight. Only scary part is when he petrifies the melee and goes after the mage after hate reset.

first of all, we had an alliance of 18 people ranging from 62-75. extremely easy fight with 72 pld tanking, dainslaif didnt drop either did any of the expensive ore.. i.e. adaman.. although fun and easy fight... only thing i really saw was the usual AoE petrification which resets hate but only lasts a few seconds.

Btw... he really is quite large.

This is a tough guy. Here is the party I tried it with.

70RNG, 68DRK, 68PLD (me),71RDM, 63THF, 61WHM.

The fight was going well, this NM doesn't really have any special moves besides a mass-petrify to your party (lasts about 3-5 seconds) and a *very* power move, called "Shoulder Slam" (I think :P). Pretty early in the fight our WHM got the aggro and took a Shoulder Slam for 770 damage instantly killing him. So, with the rest of us, we just whittled down this guys health and finally killed him, after a few 2 hrs (DRK and RNG if I remember right).

In the end, we were victorious. I got a nifty sword. ^^ Other drops, were two Iron Ore, one Darksteel Ore, and an Antican Pauldron. About 1k or so gil dropped.

My advice? Everyone around lvl 67+. Also there is a little hallway just before the room with Proconsul XII in there. It is only inhabited by a Sand Tarantula which was Decent Challange to me (I think) at 68. He's easily killed. Then have your SMN or sub-SMN bust our Carbuncle (/cheer) and bring Proconsul XII back to that little hallway. If you keep him exact center of the hallway, in between the two doors you won't get any aggro from surrounding mobs (which were Even Match or higher).

Good luck!

No, he REALLY IS that big. My alliance of 18 came across this guy while doing Bastok missions. He didn't drop the sword, just a darksteel ore and a pauldron. The sword he uses is hella-sweet looking.

Well, he probably is bigger than regular Antica, but I think the angle of the screenshot exaggerates his stature so that he looks larger than he is.

Just killed this guy. He was at (I-9) of map 5. I think he can spawn in any of those four rooms though. To get to map five, take the (G-5) entrance to Quicksand Caves in West Altepa Desert. Everything aggros to sound on this map.

We also saw an NM Cacti called Sabotender Bailarina in the small room at (F-7). We didnt take him on though.

For the antican NM we had 64PLD, 66WHM, 62BLM, 57WHM, 65RNG, 61BLM, 57BLM, 61BLM, and 64SAM. It was actually kinda close because we had no RDM for debuffs and PLD couldnt hold aggro once he was out of mana. The antican used Invincible about halfway through the fight, and also did some area effect silence and area effect petrify. The petrify only lasted a few seconds.

No sword drop, but we got an adaman ore, and had some fun.

Yup, can pop in any of those four rooms and is a 2HR pop.

Sabotender Bailarina is harcore. We took 18 people to kill him for our Monk and towards the end of his life he did 1000 needles every ten seconds. Kick Attack+30 makes it worth it though.
