My friends and I did this again tonight.
The first time we did it was a couple nights ago (on windsday) and we got a Thunder Pact scroll drop (sold for 330k). As if that werent enough, we did it some more, got crappy drops, then today we tried again (back to windsday again).
we got an Astral Ring, AND the Thunder Pact scroll...we were freaking out - this stuff isnt even LISTED under the drops. We made 850k JUST LIKE THAT. SOOOO GOOD.
So my point, is that Bats are strong vs. wind - and we get our best drops on windsday, coincidence? in crafting, you get the most high-quality synths on the day that the crystal you're using is weak against or something. Anyways, my friends and I are convinced there's a system. The moon phase was around 20% (waning), so we doubt that was the key...must have been windsday!

/BST *will not* work. Great idea, but I'd love to see a /BST succeed in charming something when the charisma just isn't there.
***MAYBE*** if you had TONS of charisma gear - maybe.
***MAYBE*** if you had TONS of charisma gear - maybe.
thanks ella that'll help. Rate up!
What about a BRD/BST? I think it's very much possible, especially as a tarutaru. Bards charisma rivals that of a BST.
So, last night myself and 2 others in the GoH LS on Caitsith decided to try this out. We were a RDM/BLM <me>, a BST/BRD, and a DRG/WAR. Here's how it went down;
DRG===> Fought Colo
BST===> tamed Fury one and had it attack Fury 2
RDM===> healed
DRG defeated Colo right when I ran out of MP and Fury 1 was fighting Fury 2. We all would have been healing while the two Furys took each other out but...BST DC'D! Fury 2 killed DRG! Fury 2 killed BST right before the full DC happened, then Fury 1 ALSO became untamed. Furys killed me. Ouch. We shall try again soon...

Beat it on the third try as a group of:
MNK, BST, annd RDM/BLM.
Crap drops. Shall try again on a "Windsday" to test theory of better drops on said day ^^

I did this with me as a PLD/WAR, my friend as a RNG and my other friend as a WHM/BLM.
We goot in, buffed (I was drinking milk and using a boiled crab 0 about 1600 gil total). I pulled one of the small bats with a ranged attack, then provoked the other small bat, while my RNG friend started taking down Colo-Colo. I was taking some heavy beats, and used Invincible for 30 seconds of safety for us all. RNG used 2 hour and a Flaming Arrow or two and took Colo-Colo down, then came to help me with the other 2 bats (lol...i had barely damaged them at all...oh PLD...XD). Things looked a little iffy, but with the whm there to heal us, no one died, and we took those 2 small bats down so fast after.
I think the key is to seperate the bats...like get the two small ones doing something (beating on me in this case >.<) while a heavy DD takes down Colo. We were gonna have the WHM be a blm...but now that we've done it, I dont see how we could have lived without the healing (cure II and such).
We got about 300k in drops!!! We got a Thunder Pact scroll (which isnt listed under his drops for some reason) worth 200-350k. We are definately doing this every night :)

The Thunder Spirit Pact is listed under the drops for this particular BCNM 20, rather than under this mob.

used a War/thf Pld/war and Smn/blm. Pld distract them all while I 2hred and killed the side bats and the smn 2hred and used the avatar (Shiva) special ability to inflict damage on all bats. Once Pld died, I tanked and distracted bats for resummon and another diamond dust killed them. ^^

ok so i take it this is almost impossible without a BST. 2 friends and me went in with a SAM/WAR, DRK/WAR, and a WHM/BLM and we got owned. we went straight for colo and we got it too about 1/4 health when i finally died (the DRK). nobody on my linkshell has a BST lvled up to 20 so could we possibly do this with 2 BLMs and a PLD (me). i was thinking they could sleep the 2 furies and then i tank the colo and they nuke it too death. hopefully the furies would still be sleeping and then we work on them. any help would be much apprecaited.

Ok, me and a friend of mine are 11/11 with Colo and we've been doing it with only 2. I use a Bst/War, and she uses a Rdm/Whm, both Elvaan. The first time we did it we set the record at 7 mins 58 secs. We've broken the record we set a few more times since then and it is now at 5 mins 30 secs.
Items used:
Bst: 3 Hi-Potions, 1 Fish Mithkabob (or Boiled Crab), 1 Pamama Au Lait or Persikos Au Lait.
Rdm: 3 Hi-Potions, 2 Yagudo drink, 1 Pumpkin or Rolonberry Pie.
Most of the time we don't use the Hi-Potions, but the difficulty of the battles varies, and there were a couple times I used all 3. Sometimes it takes a few tries to charm one of the Furies, and that can wear you down fast as well.
Strategy:
Make sure the Bst has at least +8 Chr and around 100 Def with no buff. Enter the battlefield and use the Fish Mithkabob/Boiled Crab. Wait for Rdm to buff and use Pie and Yagudo Drink. Wait for Rdm to heal to full MP then as soon as Rdm full, run and try to charm one of the Furies. If you fail, then try again. If you fail again the try the other Furie (It seems that when I fail twice on one Furie, the other Furie charms the first try). After you sucessfully charm one of the Furies, have it attack the other Furie. Now attack Colo and use Provoke on him. After you get Colo on you and are attacking, use 2-hr "Familiar". Rdm should cast Dia on the un-charmed Furie and Colo, then proceed helping you attack Colo while curing when needed. Colo will usually be at around 1/4 health when one of the Furies finally dies. If it was your familiar that died, try charming the other Furie while still attacking Colo. When you get it charmed have it help you attack. Colo will probably die before the charm wears off, then finish off the Furie. If your familiar is the Furie that survived, have him attack Colo and you and rdm need to stop everything. Your familiar needs to get hate from Colo so it can die. If your familiar is the last mob standing, you will lose because the charm will not wear off until way past the 15 minute time limit;).
This strategy has worked for me 11 out of 11 times. I only tried it becuase we got tired of waiting for a LS member who was gonna be a 3rd member. Now when he does show up again he's SOL =P.
Drops to date: 4 Thunder Spirit Pact, 1 Platoon Lance, 3 Gunromaru, 3 Ganko, 2 Platoon Sword, 1 Platoon Dagger, and quite a few lesser value items...misc rocks, scrolls, and such.
I'm glad to say that we are the current record holders on Diabolos with 5 mins 30 secs, and we did it with 2 instead of 3 ppl:) I've farmed this BCNM enough so now i'll share my tactics, good luck to you. If anything seems unclear post a reply and I'll try to answer any question.
Update:
In my 10th battle, I accidently let Colo die and I still had my familiar, the one I used 2-hr on, so I was basically screwed since the charm wouldn't wear off until the time limit was up...but I had a thought. I thought, "What if I log out and back in?"...It worked. When I logged out the bat was no longer charmed and proceeded to slap my Rdm around while I was gone, when I got back I simply joined back up with her and killed the Furie...got the Armor Box again:)

Two BST's can easily do this.
You start by charming the two side bats, and sending them at Cola-Cola. They will easily destroy him without so much as a problem.
Next you release one of the bats, and keep one under charm. The one still under you command kills the bat that was un-charmed. This should bring the last bat down to around critical health. Then you and the other BST summon a tiger or any other famlier you favor. Then you all kill the last bat therefor finishing the BCNM easily.

Two things wrong with your plan, Call Beast is level 23 and Release is level 35. The cap for this BCNM is 20...

My LS buds were having a difficult time killing these bats, so I volunteered my skills to help out. As a group we consisted of: BRD/WHM (me), DRG/WAR, and WAR/MNK. After obligatory protectra and music buffs, I had the WAR voke a furies and proceeded to play a lullaby to Colo-Colo. With my charisma a whopping 24 +10 at lvl 20, he slept like a baby. A few seconds later, I slept the other furies while the DRG and the WAR proceeded to hack-n-slash the first furies. After the first bat bit the dust, we repeated the same process until the second furies went down. Colo-Colo then woke up to a double thrust to his face. A little Foe Requiem and alot of brutal gashing later, Colo-Colo went down, and we colected the spoils.....which was very disappointing. Platoon Axe, purple rock, Deodorize, and a bat fang. All told, it wasnt that difficult, and we came within 5 secs of the Valefor record. We'll try again tonight, and shatter the record, and maybe get a few really good drops this time.
whoa, what a browser slip up >_>
Just disregard all these. :(

Went there for the second time last night with my cousin. Both of us are level 21 Bst/Whm. (Yes I know the BCNM is capped at 20) We just bought our beetle armor gear when I remembered we can't have that armor to fight theses wimps. Yeah that's right I said it, wimps. With 2 bst this is so simple. All you have to do is have each bst charm furries, have them attack Colo-Colo, use their 2 hour ability (Familiar) to strengthen the furries and to make the charming last. When Colo-Colo haves about 1/4 hp left have the bst "Heel" their pet and make them "Stay". Let Colo-Colo beat the 2 furries, then the bst go in and finish off Colo-Colo. It's that easy. Don't even need a third person to do this fight. The drops were nothing to brag about. 6K total worth of drops. We got a Platoon Edge, Scroll of Invisible, Mith. Coin and a Bat Fang. We are going back again to try it again and see if we can get the better drops. The information here needs to update the drops. From the look of all theses post there is more drops then you listed.

drops for me were Gunromaru (great katana), platon axe, deoderize, bat fang and bat wing, we kinda got lucky on it as we were not ready and my idiot cousin decided to make them all come after us -_-

ok, i did this twice earlier today with sam/war war/drk and whm/smn
the first time we went in we went for colo-colo first we got him down to critical health before ne knocked me out, then he proceeded to knock the crap out of our whm, the war stood around long enuough to finish off colo-colo and get a furie down to half health. we got served in around 1 minute /cry
the second time the whm switched his jobs around so he was a smn/whm
he went first with garuda and use astral flow
got all of them to critical health. then me and the war went after the fury to the right. accidentally ignoring the hate our healer got off of his astral flow -.- the whm died then we got served again *sigh*
if anyone could help me out with some good job combos i would love you

bst/any bst/any and whm/smn is all you need for this easy fight. just charm the two non-nm bats, have them kill the main one, or die trying, and THEN attack. ^^

wow the same thing happend to us i mean down to every lil detail and i was WHM who switched to SMN lol
I did this BCNM20 three times over the weekend and was successful twice.
My party was: BST/WAR (20), NIN/WAR (18), WHM/BLM (20)
When we entered, I ate a Flint Caviar (ended up with CHR+9) while the NIN ate a Meat Chiefkabob. Once we were buffed, I ran up and charmed one of the furies and set it on the other. After I used my two hour, I fought the Colo-colo with the NIN. Once my Furie almost had the other dead, I heeled it and let the other Furie kill my pet. By that time, the Colo-colo was dead and we finished off the last Furie.
We got from both: Platoon Axe, a Katana (don't remember the name and it's not on the site), 2 Bat Fangs, A scroll of Sneak, and a Scroll of Deodorize.
