Vana'diel Bestiary: Ullikummi  

SquEnix please fix Ullikimi!!

The freaking update making all the Aura Statues in the room placeholders isn't working... as far as game experience goes. This "adjustment" is not helping at all because RMTs still camp Ullikimi 24/7... nowadays, they don't have Linkshell equipped.

As it stands now, I don't devote all of my FFXI game-time to "sky"... wasting it camping Ullikimi 4-8+ hours and repeatedly losing claim to RMTs is ruining my "sky" experience and is going to turn me away from that place quickly if SquEnix doesn't address it soon.

My HNMLS is great at fighting Kirin. We'd do that fight twice or more a month. However, since the "Ullikimi update" we haven't fought Kirin because we are lacking Autumnstones to trigger Byakko and obtain Seals of Byakko. We have the other seals... just need Byakko ><

Here's the best possible SquEnix fix ... make Ullikimi a trigger item spawn. Make it so we just need to farm Aura Statues for an item. (Just like farming Aura Pots to get Ro'Maeve Water to trigger spawn Olla Pequena/Olla Media/Olla Grande.)

ffs just give us a ??? and get over yourselves SE.

NEVER!!!! 8 hours Me and my LS camping this ******* we cleared whole room and nothing ><

NEW UPDATE: "The monster Ullikummi found in the Shrine of Ru'Avitau will now have different conditions for appearing."

Hope this helps make it harder for GS to claim over and over!

Can you pop Ulli by depopping the PH's?

I hate this guy. 10 hours of camping and we lost the claim to the gillsellers. ><

This guy's a 4 - 12(ish) hour spawn. God, what a horrible mob. Our LS is in the final 10 minute stretch of the 12th hour of camping him at the moment.

I have seen a Blm/Rdm taru JP soloing this.

My LS is currently on its 7th hour camping this thing while killing Golems (it was killed last 9 hours ago)... it would be nice to know exactly what the conditions are to spawn it... because the traditional 3-6hr after last death as long as golems are being killed doesn't seem to work.

Firstly, the description under his picture is incorrect.
"Description:
Summons Bogy, Clipper and Mimic."
He does not summon anything; i have only see him use . . .
Magic: Diaga(2 i think), Banishga III
JA:Heavy Strike (i think thats what its called)- which is a very powerful melee strike that resets hate. (Im not sure, but he probably can do other golem JAs but ive never seen them)

Note:When using heavy strike, if you move out of range fast enough it will null his attack.(see: kite)

The easiest place to defeat this NM is to camp in the "Teleporter Room" on the opposite side from where you enter the top floor[i think its north side-but not sure]

IMO a Red Mage Is ESSENTIAL for this fight, as Gravity is extremely useful during kiting (reduces movement speed); However, a powerful BLM/RDM with a wind staff can stick Gravity realatively consistently(ive done it on more than one occasion- but RDM prefered).

As for killing methods, the safest way is to have your PLD or NIN provoke and run circles around the teleporter- have your Melee DDS draw weapons and run INFRONT of the tank slightly (if they chase behind they will be "too far") it is possible to hit the mob while running. While your Melees kite, have your BLM use 2 Elemental Debuffs, Bio2, Poison2; and spam aspir(gain some mp and avoid resting) the DoTs will make his hp trickle slowly while melees peck at his hp. Avoid using any large DD attacks/nuke as the hate will sway very easily (due to his hate resetting attack). Stun is also extremely useful at the point when Gravity wears off.

"Spent about 3 hours or so killing statues and trying this guy, only to have some JPs come up to the floor about 5 minutes before he spawns and take the claim away from us.

I find this totally lame.

Learn some common courtesy JPs >.>"

[rant]Its a NM regularly killed for Byakku(god) pop item so they likely had the Pop time and they were doing a "pop item run" if you didnt have it claimed, and they didnt mpk you/steal it then its fair game. I find it "totally lame" that people associate JPs with stealing mobs just because they are more prepared and track ToD to be more efficient.[/rant]

Hope this helps everyone, if u have more questions regarding this or similar sky HNMs feel free to contact me in Gilgamesh.


EDIT ADD: Have your BLM and RDM keep Stoneskin/Blink/Phalanx(if possible) at all times as the heavy strike will likely kill them if they get aggro without it. Ive had it bypass my blink and do 918 damage for a 1 shot kill(Taru). FYI It will also knock you back if you only have stoneskin, preventing a blink recast.

Spent about 3 hours or so killing statues and trying this guy, only to have some JPs come up to the floor about 5 minutes before he spawns and take the claim away from us.

I find this totally lame.

Learn some common courtesy JPs >.>

Does anyone know if he has a specific time interval when he spawns?

Wanna know some tricks to this big lug? Well he doesnt hit...at all! if you keep him gravitied, you can hace the PLD kite him around in a circle the entire fight and not get hit once! Only trick here is that "Heavy strike" will reset the hate, and PLD will need to go in close in order to get within voke range (if youre @ Teleporter room and u get the infamous "Cannot see <t>") He takes a while to kill and rarely drops the axe.
