Vana'diel Bestiary: Xolotl  

The pets seem to have some kind of increased degeneration of enmity. Mob would run around to different people for seemingly no reason :/

This is the best combo to come if going DD.

Macro in light/apollo for charming ease of the tracker antlions which will do decent damage to Xolotl as well as hold Xolotl and any DD that get charmed, giving mages all the time they need to sleep charmed. Pet will also prevent Xolotl from losing claim in case other linkshells are nearby.

ranged attacks suffer a penalty but it will allow you to attack outside of AoE range.

Just killed this today ^^ got the Kote to drop....was lucky enough to get to lot them from my shell thanx Dainslef linkshell! as blm i did shock burn choke and then cure II cure III the mob to avoid hate so when he charmed the tank i was not next in line for his boney paws LOL good luck all on the kill and drops

My LS killed this today, first time we came accross, it was under 5% and it despawned due to it being daytime and lost claim from all the deaths. we waited for the next pop, and we pwned it, we only got the Bandomusha Kote, which went to our SAM, pretty EZ battle had full alliance.

Fun fight... i got a tell from a friend of mine last night asking if i wanted to fight a NM. I'm always up for some fun so i went along. We beat it with NINx2 THFx2 RDM BLM SMN. Worst part was kiting with ichi only, since i'm still 73. R1 sucked too. orz XD

Dropped hat and a crystal. We're trying again tonight, and hopefully he'll be a bit more generous >_>;

Just for the record, Xolotl is the name of the death/wisdom aztec god, I even have a mule called like that in gilgamesh. Had no idea there was a NM with that same name. Well anyway SE really makes his mexican history homework.

This is wrong.

Haha i love it. He uses Charmga, must have claimed 15 people all running after 1 or 2 people. It doesnt really hurt much and doesnt last all that long, but its just hillarious to watch.

some dood has this on caitsith... saw him run through jeuno , was only one ive ever seen ever so knife is real but not realistic if you know what i mean;_; i hear ppl kill this guy for months with no dagger drops /sigh maybe one day ill have it P.harpe/Mercurial Kris would be excitement
75thf/nin caitsith

Fought it a few days ago.

What I saw it use:
Silencega
Paralyaga (not too sure although several ppl got paralzyed somehow)
Charmga (a real pain)
Blizzaga III
Aero IV

I saw Xolotl's sacrific use thundaga III and sleepga II - it prob casts some other nasty things that I missed.

What we did was use 2 BST each to solo Xolotl's sacrifice and Xolotl's hound warrior.

On average it hit me for about 350 damage per swing.

It can be silenced and stunned.

Was a slight pain to kill /w 1 tank. And the /nin only helped block our sleepgas lol. No drops from it - but it was definatly a fun fight.

0/23 on the Kote ; ;

Man this guy is fun! LoL. LS was doing Rostrum Pumps run and we decided to go check this guy. He was up so we took off to him.

We had a SMN carby pull him back, and 2 NINs kite the sacrifices around. Our main alliance got right up on him to fight.

Our PLD got charmed really early so we just slept him. He get uncharmed, we wake him, and just keep pounding away.

Then comes Gala Macabre. OMG this is one of the funniest things I've seen in awhile. LoL. I'd say 10 of us from the main alliance all grabbed our torches and pitch forks and started mobbin on the link alliance. LoL. I was laughing so hard I almost forgot to re-engage when it wore off.

All in all it was relatively easy and very fun. He dropped Zoolander Hat and Bandomusha Kote which I lotted a whopping 7 for. LoL. Tons of fun!

My LS mate's and I have been doing this guy almost non-stop, day after day for the past week and a half.
3 Kote (1 mine ^^b)
3 Hat? (2 for sure one auto sorted to me)
2 Knife (2nd one dropped tonight)

When we are body heavy without bst we get right up on his ass hopeing he charms everone. This by far is my favorite NM out of the game. Good luck to the THF's out there hopeing for your harp!

V/r
Trick

Yeah he killed me, wondering around minding my own buisness, when ls member says watch out for the zombie things. I am like huh ?? and 3 secs later. I am dead by this mobs hands.

My LS killed him twice this past weekend (our THFs want the harpe, and our MNKs want the kote). We had an almost full alliance both times.

We avoided charming by having BSTs kill Xoltol, and everyone else handle the summons. Once we got the routine down, it was pretty easy.

Unfortunately, first kill he dropped a dark crystal, and the second kill he dropped TWO dark crystals.

At least we got cool titles out of it: Xoltol Xtrapolator

OMG i want those **** Kotes

This NM is Leet. looks cool too
cant wait to /hurray over its dead body

What an amazingly chaotic but fun fight!

A LS mate suddenly shouted that Xolotl was up, so a group of us ran/teleported as quickly as we could to Attohwa Chasm. He spawns at night (20:00) around E-7, but despawns if unclaimed by 4:00. However, if he pops and despawns, he will respawn the next day (and the day after... and after) if not killed.

Once we had all assembled (after dealing with some unfortunate agro on the way), we waited until about 3:30 AM. Last thing we needed was agro from the random skeletons and corses running around. The BST charmed one of the Tracker Antlions hanging around and pulled Xolotl.

Then the mad rumpus began! Our strategy was to let the BST continue charming the antlions and deal with Xolotl, while our ranged fighters dealt slow damage (we didn't have any BLMs). Meanwhile, we had one tank kite each of the two skeleton summons, with one red mage accompanying each kiter and applying gravity and bind as needed. Since the summons would respawn if killed, there wasn't any need to cast any other spells. The tricky thing is there are cracks on the ground that you have to avoid, or else an agroing Cave Antlion will pop out and possibly link the other (normally non-agroing) Tracker Antlions.

Everyone pretty much stayed out of Xolotl's way, although with people running back and forth like mad, we had a few cases where a single person got caught in his Charm-ga. Hilarity usually ensued, but a single "Sleep" is sufficient. The Charm effect doesn't last that long. DRKs were mainly there to Stun his -ga spells, and apply the occasional DoT spell, but the main damage was done by the BSTs antlion pets.

It was a slow but steady fight, and we finally brought the death god down (just a few hours before nightfall, ironically enough). Of course, while we were all whooping and celebrating, our kiters reminded us that they were still being pounded by the pets (which don't despawn when Xolotl is killed). Fortunately, they are a LOT easier than their master. And our valiant BST even got the drop, while we all got a really cool title : Xolotl Xtrapolater!

I have been looking for this NM for a Month now.
i would have thought he would show his ugly face after the maintenece but he never did after 5 hours T_T wtf is up with him. im wondering if im even at the right spot. Right before the tunnel to Boneyard Gully near the skeletons in the ground?

Anyways ive been going w/ widescan RNG sub now and i hope i have better luck. btw im on Lakshmi server.

CHA!

Killed this last night for a friend THF in the LS.
Party setup:
bst 70
smn 70
smn 70
smn 70
smn 73
smn 72
thf 75

We decided to use a bunch of smns instead of normal party setup just to avoid members getting charmed and take less dmg.

Thf and the bst kited the summons and any links/aggro while the summoners concentrate on the NM. Best damage against him is spinning dive.

We didn't get the harpe, but it dropped the hat for the bst and the kote(one of the smn got it).

Xolotl has 2 Pets - Xolotl's Sacrifice (War) and Xolotls Hound Warrior (Blm).
After you killed 1 pet, he will be repopped by Xolotl about 1 minute after. The Blm Pet uses magic like Sleepga II, Poisonga II and Blizzage III.

for a thf to think of joining in one of these fights?
