this guy was pretty easy but I noticed that whenever I actually did try to camp him he never popped. I just got lucky with him one night though! I was trying to camp my lantern shield when I went over to take some orcs and there he was! As soon as I came out of the tunnel with my lantern shield I looked over to see he had popped again! Lantern shield and two Obelysks! too bad I wasn't as lucky with the auriga xiphos

ok so i attempted him last night and i was lvl 20 thf/blm 1. i use sneak attack on him. hit him hard. decide to use my maxed tp, hit him hard again. then after that i kept hitting him for 0. i have more than enough attack power to take down a lower level mob. what gives? does he have some sort of enfeebling magic or something. i thought he was rather tough. he did read impossible to gauge too if im not mistaken. im using flame sword also so maybe that could be the problem?
easy gil

I kill this while waiting on breacher and berricader.
The extra 1k for the obalisk is slightly helpful.
Only ever gotten the belt once, it sold for 2k.
I win.

Just killed this thing with my friend Scubasteve while out in Ghelsba screwing around. I was reading about this NM and saw that so many people have never gotten plate belt, so I was sure we wouldn't get it either, me being PLD53/WAR26 and him being MNK25/WAR12, no TH to help. Well sure enough, Scuba takes it out by himself... and there it is. The Plate Belt. :)

Hmmm, Took this thing on randomly while messing around in Ghelsba Outpost. 29THF/12NIN

Yeah, Gimp sub but I only need THF for sub anyways.

Anyhoo, Figured I'd take him on since I had Utsusemi: Ichi.

Used Invincible but all in all easy kill. Got an Obelisk. Wish I could have got that before I started to Lv my DRG. -_-; Whatever. sh*tty NM I.M.O. lol

My friend's girlfriend wanted to start playing the game, so I told her I would pl her for a bit so she can get used to it. She watched us play alot, so she had a good idea about everything, but she was still a crazy little noob ^^

Anyway, I told her to /check everything and tell me what they rated at, and we were in ghelsba and saying "Wow, those are VT and IT over there, I think I will die" then she just get's, well, dipresed or something. We all look at her and ask what's wrong, and she sais "I'll never be able to beat that one, it says 'Impossible to Gague'"! We all jumped, cause we didn't know sh!t about any nm in Ghelsba and people were screaming "Kill Kill Kill"! Killed it, got the poker thingy, almost droped it, not realy worth, gave it to her to make some money, but every one of us in the room just started laughing our ass's off : )

Personally, this is the crapiest MOB (dropwise) on my server anyways. I usually jus run out and take a peek while camping the warmachines, tain a few orcs back in to help maybe. Ive killed him twice and i think he drops obeRIP like very time. (i did have TH1 though) IDK, im 2/2 on him cause i usually dont bother to even waste time on him anymore since i could barely sell those spears for a measly 500 gil each. I dont have any actual hunting experience with him but im guessing u kill orcs in the area and no idea of a spawn time.

Worthless drop WASTE OFF TIME
If you want to kill a NM for fun kill it but i warned you it sucks! it uses Invinceble (spells do damage still) OBILISK STINKS.... You shouldt have to hunt for it... The 800 gill or so isnt worth camping him

RE: Worst NM
# Jul 11 2004 at 12:54 PM Rating: Decent
Yep, nothing good comes from him unless you have Mug which than it is an easy 1k or more. But other than that you must really want a new Spear to kill him

So, me and my level 22 WAR/MNK NM hunting buddy are hunting the Barricader and Wallbreacher (as well as logging). Lost Wallbreacher, got Barricader with no drop. So I use my sister's comp, check to see what NMs are nearby, and decide to sit and camp this guy (unaware that the stuff wasn't worth the hour and a half wait it took).

Killed third tiers, goofed off, and waisted a full stack of silver arrows in my case. (ouch. ><)

My bud goes afk, and I go after a pugil I see spawn in the water. I fall in the water. I have no idea how to get back up that's close, and I don't want to miss the spawn (even though there was no other campers)... So I stand in the water.

About thirty second later, he spawns, and I provoke him from down in the water. I whip out my dagger, and start hacking for about 25 a hit. 3 hits since the start, he goes 2hr.

Like I care. =/ I'm still at my full 435 HP, he's down to 3/4ths.

I killed him before my friend got back, and when he did, he was like "You killed it? o_o;"

BTW, Dropped Plate Belt and no Obelisk.

This guy drops neither Obelisk or the Plate Belt 100% of the time. I have killed him 2 times within about 2.5 hours of each other, first got belt, 2nd obelisk. Drops are random, i dont think spawn is dependant on other orcs because he seems to spawn the same interval... correct me if im wrong =)

I beg to differ...

Vatgit is a 'named monster' hence he doesn't read "impossible to guage". Named Monsters are like Notorious Monsters except many are purely there for quest/mission purposes. Many also don't have special drop like Nototrious Monsters.

yes, but it does offer very good defense for its level. If you were a pld with all the highest defense gear availible untill level 16, you make an excellent tank in the Dunes. I had such a person in my party (had coarse leggings, this belt, and a couple other peices of coarse gear i think) and he took almost no damage. Thus, our whm had more mp, and we could chain stuff much better. It really showed when he had to leave and was replaced by a war/mnk with scale gear. We had to go much more slowly.

Heh... I have a lvl 14 mnk and lvl 12 thf. I was playing my thief, while partied with two warriors. One was level 12 and another was 13. I'm not quite sure if these were n00b's or what, but we all died to this guy thanx to his 2 hr special. I kid you not, we had between 200-300% tp and tried to do a skill chain on him. The timing was perfect and all, but still, both skills did 0 damage due to the fact he used his two hour RIGHT when I hit my "combo" macro. =\. I even had to use perfect dodge and got him down to 10% before it wore off and I had to run with my 24 hp.
Plate belt?
# Jan 10 2004 at 2:57 PM Rating: Default
I've killed him prolly 20 times with no drop of the plate belt. I don't think he drops it. However, he does drop the oblisk 100% of the time.

Easy kill for a level 16 Monk. Just watch for his 2 hour, all hits don't hurt him for about 30 seconds. If you come in with 300% TP, and your level 15-16, you can take him easly. Not sure how much weapon sells for.
