this guy was on crack
# Sep 27 2004 at 11:12 AM Rating: Default
just a couple of days ago here I was doing some yaguod bead necklace farming in giddeus and ran across this clown... Needless to say I couldn't help but try my hand at massacring him and was doing quite well as a lvl 20 drk.. I managed to cut thru his utsusemi fairly quickly and dish out some hefty dmg to him w/o ever having to drain for some hp... Well, i got him down to about 1/10 health and he did mijin gakure and kerploded on me, bringing me to one hp... I thought the battle was won. i was wrong. His corpse appeared behind me after doing his 2hr and stabbed me to death.. A CORPSE KILLED ME..
i don't kno if this is a problem with the patch or what,but if i see him again i am going to see if he does the same thing and if he does I will be talking to a GM about it

Any mob that uses Mijin Gakure actually doesn't "die" when they use it though it showns them dying (which is quite odd, because they get back up)

Yeah, that's not fair. You should call a GM, maybe get Zhuu Buxu a 72-hour suspension.

I just ran across this guy while trying to find someone to help me get keys. Killed him pretty quickly, and he dropped the shield. I've been using the shield to LV my thf and rdm.

First time ever farming in Giddeus. I have my THF subbed for Gilfinder (only lvl 5 >.<) so I go in the tunnel place and there he is. I cast protect, shell, blink, blaze spikes, and regen, and go in. the battle is goin ok, I cast Fire, 0 DMG, I cry and worry, I'm hitting ok, but so is he, so I cast Fire again and hits for full dmg ( >=) ) and he casts Utesumi, and I worry, but I just cast Fire and Aero a few more times and he dies, not that hard.

PLUS, I got parana Shield first try =)

I'm pretty sure you get an Aspir Knife every time, Pirana shield is rare/ex, and isn't an every time drop. But I may be wrong.
RE: YEA!
# Aug 22 2004 at 6:12 PM Rating: Good
the parana shield does drop every time.
That shield is a need item for the Sandy mission 2-3.
the aspir knife you get from Evy.
and that item is required for the Bastok 2-3 mission.

Quest?

I was looking for a Giddius chest key when i saw both the silent dude and the ironbreaker guy so i killed them and got both the Parana Shield and the Aspir Knife. I know now that i can't sell them so who do i talk to for this Quest?

They're not for quests, they're for missions. Specifically, Mission 2-3 for Bastok and San d'Oria, as long as you come to Windurst before visiting the other city. Otherwise the Windurst step of the mission is to kill the Giddeus dragon.

Since Bastok and San d'Oria are connected by land, and it requires taking the ship to Mhaura to make your way to Windurst, most people tend to do the Windurst step of the mission last, thus not having to perform this mission step.

I just fought this NM, and the Ironeater one down the hall, 3 times each in aprox 45min. They have a very short spawn time.
Nope

This is a Named Monster, but not a Notorious Monster.

You can consider it. It spawns for mission 2-3 in Bastok or San d'Oria.

Nope

He's not an NM, i checked as Easy Prey.
NM's are checked as Impossible to Gauge

It is a Named Nototous Monster(NNM) not a Notorous Monster(NM). the difference is pretty obvious it has a unique name and it can be coned... besides the unique name there is no difference between a NNM and a regular mob.

this is not a NM and the mob you are talking about is Hoo Mjuu the Torrent.

NM?
# Jun 28 2004 at 8:29 PM Rating: Default
Is this really an NM? I've killed him many times before his spawn times seem to low for a NM. The items he drops arent that bad! too bad u cant sell them :(
Easy kill
# Jun 28 2004 at 2:40 AM Rating: Decent
I soloed this NM at lv 16(RDM) the first time I saw him, and did that by accident. At the time, I didn't even know what a NM was. I've since dropped him at least 5 times, mostly because he spawns in a nice area where I was hunting pipers, persecutors, and mendicants for XP and silver beastcoins.

I've trashed the shields, if they're for a quest, I can always come back and get another one.

It'd be nice if you could hang the shield on the wall in your MH as a trophy, though...*g*

easy kill for blm. well for me anyway. I had a sword equipped (was farming) so I just whiffed at his Utsuemi until I hit him, then I cast a Stone II on him before he could cast it again. Rinse, repeat until Yagudo death.

# Jun 15 2004 at 12:45 PM Rating: Decent
The person before me is right -- it spawns in the H-7 corridor, not the J-7 one. He has two spawn areas, and they are either right at the beginning of the room or at the end. You can tell when he's getting close to respawning because the Earth Eaters in the room will come back. (It seems as if the E.E.s have a ten minute rate, while Zhuu Buxu has a fifteen.)

When we finally figured out his pattern, we got four shields from him easy. He is MUCH easier to kill than Eyy Mon.

Zhuu Buxu the Silent was a pretty easy kill tbh with a 18 WAR/9 MNK. He drops the Parada Shield (spelling??). The Ironbreaker Yagudo no matter what his level says is MUCH tougher. He drops the Aspir knife. They do not interchange which item they drop. And for those of you who just tossed the low level items? Ignorance...they are quest items which is why you cannot sell them on auction.
Bastard!

I am a BLM and i just tryed to kill both of them in a row. i killed the other one with no problem...but this ******* was hard and i am a lv 22blm/whm. every time i hit him his shadow would absorb it and then when i went to nuke him (after i had had my melee fun) it still missed. i ended up wasting 100 mp i could have used to warp. i did end up warping eventually...BLOOD warping! his friends came and finshed me off, i was sooo pissed. owell ill just have to level my guy up a little more before i fight fake nms:)

100% drop rate..just fun to kill when going to kill torrent ^^
Not worth it.
# May 07 2004 at 11:08 PM Rating: Default
Me and my friend were hunting down here and killed both of them numerous times and got like 3 aspir knives and 2 shields. Come to relize you CANT sell them. So it was a waste of time and simpley droped them on the side of the road.

My two friends and I camped the area stated here and both rooms closest to the treasure room for close to two hours and never saw him. The location stated here is simply a curve in the cave; no room. The only NM we found was Eyy Mon the Ironbreaker. Any advice?

You should kill the other Yagudos and worms in the area to make them spawn.

Dropped aspir knife first time I killed him, went and did the two Windhurst quests, came back two minutes later and then dropped parana shield.

So it's the same guy that drops aspir knife.
RE: drops
# Feb 27 2004 at 12:27 AM Rating: Decent
It is not the same guy that drops the Aspir Knife. Eyy Mon the Ironbreaker drops the Aspir Knife.

They both spawn very close to the same area however which is why you probably thought that.

Just Killed him, I was in Gid farming for necklaces for thread/cloth.. It was no challenge whatsoever for a 21 redmage/10 War i cast blaze spikes so that any time he hit me ( the few) he took damage. Entire battle was over in about 30 seconds

got the shield and a wind crystal 25 exp and 10 gil spawned @ J-7 i believe

Even better, poison him, till it takes, and watch the shadows fall, fall, fall... a mix of dia, poison, bio, all fast casting, will ensure your hardest nukes will hold against him, watch log, if he recasts his shadows, verify if poison is absorbed.

Once I figured out it wasn't a normal Yagudo (I was chain-killing them to get a silver beastcoin) it became an easier fight, but boy did I wonder why his hp wasn't going down after a cast of fire, blizzard and aero.
