tanked this NM STRAIGHT up as a thf/nin. Oi no problem, he is my *****. I got it 2x during the fight and it was cuz I was in the bathroom taking a ****. My Evasion as at 293 + Double Mambo. Had a 62 war/nin. 75 nin/war, 75 brd and a 73 sam/thf with me. The war and sam were there to do damage. And nin for backup.
I'm positive this can be duoed by a thf and brd. 0/2 on GK.

never seen either katana drop in right around 11 kills. How rare is this drop? It's not like the moss is worth anything ;; Hopefully one of these days..
i just saw a pt last night of 75's own this thing. The first time they got beaten down after the nin tank died, but they came back and kicked it's ***. The pt looked like nin/war, brd/whm, blm/whm, mnk/thf, whm/blm, and some other mage job. It was cool see it. No drop though

My LS takes this guy down occassionally, and have yet to get either katana to drop. We're approximately 0/6~ though the great moss has dropped every time.
If you have a RDM 70+, gravity makes this guy a cake walk. Just kite him during his hundred fists.

Beat him tonight with 6 people. 2 PLD 1 NIN 1 RNG 1 RDM and me BLM. All 73+. We had the NIN marathon him and me and the RNG just damaged very slowly, occassionaly pulling hate. About 3/4 in we started just binding him whenever he did 2 hour, which worked out very well. The NIN came close to death two times but well placed stuns saved him. No G. Katanas dropped, just Great Moss ><
BSTs are the only people that should bother with this mob.
Been exp party on darters last few nights, hes always up. He should drop more then just that one sam's katana. But 2 strats.
1. have as many 74+rdms posible with 37 drk subs, and be ready for chainspell stun for hundread fists. Also darks, so when rdm's 2-hours rdms and drks stun in turn to slow down attack.
2. have a bard to sleep it so party can rest up. Requires everyone to stop attack when someone makes the call, and no DoT cast on it.
Well, thats a few ideas to try out.

1) He uses Hundred Fists every 60 seconds, so you don't Chainspell Stun.
2) He's resistant to sleep, much like every NM or HNM is at that level. NEVER rely on sleep to save your ***, or you'll be eating dirt.
Just kite him, it's not that hard.

He Hundret Fists--> I Invinceble....wheres the prob? ;)
Hope you can Invincible once every minute, because thats about how often he Hundred Fists.

Wouldn't it be smarter to Sleep it when it does it's 2 hour? Or does it resist too much against a lvl 74-75 RDM? Sleep is an enfeebling magic so maybe with the Tabar and an enfeebling torque it shouldn't be too bad. I do this exact same thing with Ruby Quadav and other NM, once I see they commence their 2 hour I sleep them and rest my MP. And by the way, is this a 22-24 hour spawn mob? I saw it almost all the time when I experienced in that area.

i saw ancient up and thought i would try it as a 74rdm/nin. bad idea. i didnt know about the frequency of hundred fist and got pwned first try. second try i was more cautious and waited till i saw hundred fists then tried sleep II. my enfeebling is 284 uncapped (2k into 74 so i havent capped it yet) and i was resisted.. twice. i just kited it until it wore then rebuffed and fought again. i tried to get my buffs back up and was almost fully ready until it did hundred fists again. after 2 tries on ancient im 0/2 and am yet to stick a sleep after 4 tries. if you want to stick it (if its even possible) i would suggest lvl 75 with enf gear and merits. when i get 75 and have enf merrited i may try this again. till then ill just leave it be.
if you are set on soloing it before you are 75 i suggest being a thf/nin. its acc isnt super high and thfs rock with eva. happy hunting^^

We just beat him today. I was in a skill up pt with my LS and we had about 8 or 9 people 65-75. We got board and decided to go kill him....
We did alright till about 40%hp and mages were low on mp and I went down. The only reason we did so well first time through was because the 2 Drks were stunning him through his 100fists. He did it about 3 times. I was the main tank 71PLD. We regrouped re buffed and invited a pt that was xping there and watching us.
Second time through we beat him. We had 14-16 ppl. I forget now, but make sure you flash/sheildbash weapon bash stun as much as you can through his 100fists, he used it about 4 times. He was hitting 200-300 to me with earth staff and jelly ring. About 4 times a second. In my pt we had 4 whms 1 rdm and me just to keep me alive. NIN tank will get pwned I think he spames AOE and hits very fast I could hardly get a heal off. Goodluck^^

My exp party of 68 pulled him the other day, I freaked out when I saw what we were pulling. About 10 seconds in to the fight he uses Hundred Fists, our pld used Invincible then. After the hundred fists was over, we thought we could get him. But to our suprise he just used Hundreds Fists AGAIN. The pld ran away but he was "summoned" by the ancient so he couldnt really run anywhere. We ended up chainspell escaping, the pld didnt make it though. ;_;

I wonder if GM's can solo this thing... O.o Just a random off-topic thought. ::shuts up::
2 posts
GM's have a hidden weapon ability that kills anything in 1 hit, and has an armor ability that has them be dealt no dmg so yes they can
I remember seeing this sucker when I was running around with sneak and invis on my drg coffer hunt... good thing I stayed far away from him.
Was in the area exping, right before we teleported out, the THF did Perfect Dodge and ran to the party. Our PLD panicked and provoked it. Right before we teleported, it smacked the 65 PLD for like 200+. I think it was a critical hit, but I don't remember clearly. Either way, he's big, hits hard, and is nasty as hell.
Anyone have a PT that they've beaten this mob with? I'd like to try to grab myself a sukesada, but need to know how tough this mob is.
Edit: {/sigh}, turns out this doesn't drop sukesada... can someone correct this error?

This picture doesn't make him look that big...
but he is.
Tried to set up a few alliances with nearby JPN parties but they said "no", and one replied with "Hundred Fists x10".
Dunno if he meant he can use Hundred Fists a few times, or if his attack delay is so low, its practically like perma-hundred fists
Needless to say, Scary.
