I usually help my LS to do that mission, i can solo Mimas (0/3) and this guy (/3 too XD) as a lvl 50 drg, maybe ull need a rdm/whm with mimas but hey, that guy's just too easy, raise ur TP with another gigas and just WS him
If i were you, i would'nt try it. There are about 5+ Gigas in the room that checked Easy Prey to me (lv 45) and there are about 2 Notorious Monsters that spawn in that area, if you search for some high lvs in the area, im sure they will help you.
i soloed him as 44whm/22nin ^.^b fiance needed 3-3 so i said id give it a go.. took him down but links killed me @.@ if anything i can say.. haha whm can solo to an extent >.> utsusemi < stoneskin < haste <blink < etc ^.^
i see alot of people asking if they can kill this thing around lvl50, yes hes ez, i could take him down ez @50pld. im about 0/50 on the axe drop, spawns every 10min or so. look out for his 2hour, he hits hard and fast.
I just took this *** as a Smn52. Carbuncle solo'd him down to about 5-10 percent HP with three other links. Then I summoned shiva for a sporting (|Double Slap|) and he died. Now drop, but he was so easy. =D
umm, i went with a lvl 52 monk and it soloed this and 4 Giants that agroed her while fighting. She hundred fisted but was on like 300hp/1100 before the fight started so a 52 BLM should take it easy, just Elemental seal - bind. Then rip into him.
I was wondering if I can kill the NM at 47 and when I checked the site I saw it was a Lv. 36 mob, wut really concerns me is that im a whm, and u should no how weak whms r, please help me out! thanx ^_^
I'm a Lv 47 Mnk on Alexander server... if your a monk and you want to solo this mission your set once you get to 47. I two houred thinking this would be hard but i got aggored by two giants while taking on this Mob and i still walked away with 700hp. Just use your buffs and have chakra on standby and you shouldn't even have to two hour
I read that a 44Mnk soloed him. So as a 45Smn/Whm should I be able to take him? My only problem is that ive got 725mp....but only 509 hp...almost anything Tough can kill me in about 3hits if my Summon doesnt have hate So could a 45Smn/Whm solo him?
I would say you might be able to solo it with your 2 hr. cause if you get hate you're a goner in a couple hits. Giants tend to hit hard for their lvl and a smn has low def and low hp. Only way I can see it happening is if you eliminate every other giant in the spawn area and start off with your 2 hr and get in three. I'm not sure if this would be enough dmg to take him out or not.
Can a lvl 45 rdm solo it? I was wandering through the tower the other day and everything on the first two levels was too weak... I couldnt find the last elevator or I would have kept going but i decided to check the mission first...good thing to...I'm surprised i was able to find my way out without a map >< So can I solo it?
u DEFENTLY need a lvl 47+ to beat this kid, he uses eagle eye shot twice or once and each delt around 290-310 dmg to me... also make sure u kill all the giants in the room so that the other giants dont link
Was farming pots in Middle Delk when an LS group of 4 levels 35-37 escorted by a LV57 BLM passed through my territory. Being rather bored with farming pots, I asked if I (LV50 THF) could go with them, and as it turned out, that was a damn good idea, because the BLM disconnected on the next floor's stairs and never came back. C_C So it was up to me to lead this relatively weak party through the last five levels of Delkfutt's tower. After many many close calls, as certain of the party refused to listen when I told them to stay put or go and got aggro, needing rescues, we managed to make it to Porphyrion's floor. A roving DRG killed Mimas for us (I would have killed it anyway, but he got it first, less work for me) and then I went outside the cerment door. I thought it'd be hard to kill him, since every time I've seen him he's been in the middle of a morass of other gigas ready to link, but I got very lucky and he'd wandered over next to the door! ^_^!! I pulled him and yelled for my party to open the door again, which they did after about a minute of me panicking and waiting for links, and then coaxed Porphyrion inside the hallway. With the hall already clear and the door shut behind him, it was an easy fight, zero links, and that LS was very grateful for my help. ^_^
Plus I got two stacks of shards, a stack of mercury and a lightning cluster for my trouble. ;)
EDIT: Upon reading below, I see that he has used Eagle Eye Shot in the past. In the fights I underwent, both this one and the one w/ high level help for my own mission, he didn't use it. We killed him too fast XD
That confused me at first, too, but if you look at other posts farther down, it's apparently Porphyron who's doing Eagle Eye, not the Monk who fought him.
i suggest at least if you go at lvl 45, buff with foods, probably a fish kabob for your defense. Stay away from links and go in with full health. You should be good.
Ok I'm a level 40 pld and I'm wondering can I solo the guy to my key. If so what what level are the other giants by him. I want to do this but no one wants to help me out.
I wouldn't recommend soloing this until you are about Lv45. NM's are generally about 3-4 Lvs above their stated Lvs. The thing that you watch for is Eagle Eye Shot. The adds arent much to worry about if you know how to handle them, but they are very pesky. If you can clear out the other Gigas, you might be able to solo him.
Got a Delkfutt Chest Key from him as well as the other keys when I helped a couple of guys kill him.
And to answer the the post below, yes there are other giants in the battle area but they're hardly going to bother 2 L60's (overkill or what ^^). You can pull him away from the others if you're careful and patient.
Shout-out to Elessar on this one. His level 65 Dragoon uberness was all I needed to finish this one with relative ease. Porphyrion never stood a chance. >=)
