Was reading through forums on this guy.
HNM linkshells try taking this guy on and from what I hear, none have won
In fact only once have I heard anyone hurt him. He uses death quite a bit... well enough to wipe your party easily, and can't really be hurt at all. SS I've seen ( ) show he CAN be hurt, but they have no idea how
It spawns Imps and Demons
It can be killed (hence the death dat in AltanaView) but no one knows how yet.
Until then good luck to anyone willing to go up against this guy ^_^

Maybe someone should try throwing Fenrir at him. In norse mythology Fenrir eats Odin when Ragnarok begins.
notice how the death animation is him running away... not dying.......
Just saw him awhile ago and he scared me ******** lol. now thats a drk
looks like a drg to me..
My friend Daecon saw this up close. He says it spawned on Dark Weather In Azouph Isle Stagging. 2 NM Demons (Yes Demons) popped first, then Rider. He also said demons are xpable, giving T-VT xp. Hope this helps.

In the traditional myth, Slephnir has 8 legs. In the Final Fantasy world, Odin's horse always had either 4 or 6 legs (four legs in the older ones). Yyou can see pics here http://www.ffcompendium.com/h/espmon/odin.shtml . Seeing that FF11 brings back a lot of old school things, I wouldn't be surprised if they depicted Odin's horse with 4 legs, like the old ones.
And this horse has 4 legs -- it only looks like three in this screenshot because one of them is bent up and hidden. Here are better pictures of him http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ten13films/my_photos .

Slephnir had 4 legs in FFIX when Braun summoned Odin on Cleyra, and also when you gained him as a summon. So this might be a passing refference to Odin, who is indeed a "Dark Rider". Also, note the lance... it looks oddly like the lance Odin carried in FFIX. Could just be another reference to a past FF game. Anywho, i saw this guy while perusing around the Caedarva Mire, trying to find the zone for Puppetmaster flag quest. I had sneak and invis on, and he didnt aggro, but i ran as fast as i could in the opposite direction in case he decided to come after me. A few friends have confirmed reports on this sucker in Wajaom as well, so he gets around. Also, from what i hear, he does NOT aggro, but always has miniature helper NMs with him of Demon and Imp type. I've never specifically heard of the other NMs that pop with him aggroing either, so he seems to only be dangerous if you run up and attack him. From the reports i've heard, he CAN use Death, but doesnt use Deathga, so there's little danger there. Never actually seen anyone or anything fighting him, so i can't confirm or dispel the rumor that he is invulnerable. However, i CAN say he is from the Demon family, based on his summoned allies(pets?), and his horns. Maybe try spamming Light moves on him to dent him. Also, based on his equipment, and the rumors of being unable to harm him, i'd say he's most likely a paladin. I'll post more as i get more info on this guy. But what i CAN tell you for sure is, if you get a chance to see this guy up close, go for it, he's massive, impressive, and just awesome to see... just pray he isn't in a bad mood and decides to aggro ;).
EDIT: Found out from a friend who's HNM shell tackled this guy that his weakness depends on the element of the day he spawned. Also, he's a Demon Dragoon. Drops are unknown (hasnt dropped anything so far as i know) and he is highly resistant to Silence. Finally, the rumor that he is invulnerable, is a lie. He's no more powerful than Hydra or Cerberus, the only thing is: he spawns Dark Buglers (Imp type NM) as a pet/ally type of monster. And that about wraps it up, good luck to all those who decide to try to fight this guy ^^b

The Dark Rider, as stated in the mob description, appears in outdoor zones across Aht Urhgan. He may leave a Warhorse Hoofprint behind. In order to upgrade to Superior Private, you must find this hoofprint and bring it back to naja, after flagging the promotion quest.
The print moves once per conquest week I believe.
It may be used in other quests as well, although I have no knowledge of them.
