doing this at later levels

Since it is understandable why some people would do this quest at later levels, being that the item is partly worthless for continual use, there's some information I would like to add.

Second time we found him in the tower behind Garlaige, so in order to do this you must have a minimum of 4 people in order to get through first, second, and third banishing gates. Mobs you want to look out for are bats (sneak), those slimes (sneak), bombs (invis and aggro to magic at a range) and skeletons (sneak). Once through the third gate, if you proceed to continue, you'll find an area that has a long stairway just like the area how you entered Garlaige, so just follow that up to the top. There are skeletons around here so you need to watch out if you will catch attention.

Upon spawning Climbpix at the random tower (those 6 black dots you see on the Sauro. Champ. MAP), you must note that the main reason why he is hard is because of his VERY HIGH EVASION. Melees should bring an extra lifebelt or +accuracy gear would be beneficial. When he gets somewhere about half HP he'll use Perfect Dodge when you see some kind of green effect and a boom sound.

There is no level restriction to do this, so I want to mention that I've done this two times, first at 58 and another at 60.

At 58, we took it out with three people. 58 WHM/SMN, 58 WAR/NIN, 58 THF/NIN. I charged 100% tp before battle and once it started, WAR provoked, I did SATA+Hide+Viper Bite behind the war and got the hate held there for awhile, not to mention that he held it pretty good with his +enmity gear and Rampage WS. The fight was not that hard at all, it was mostly about hitting him when he was not evading the attacks and using TP to bring him down to his knees. Having a BLM wasn't necessary. But then, we were a few levels higher than Climpix.

At 60, we went to go hunt him again as 60 THF/NIN, 60 WHM/SMN, 60 PLD/WAR, 60 RDM/BLM. This was ridiciously easy, hidden SATA+ 300%DE made the hate on the PLD for the entire battle. Needless to say, it did not take very long for him to become defeated. If you've noticed something, the second time, the item wasn't for me, rather it was for the RDM. So if you are aware, you CAN spawn Climpix with another job as long as you have the quest initiated and procedures done beforehand as THF.
ranged

I know this guy uses perfect dodge in battle.

I'm wondering if Ranger's attacks with.. well ranged stuff would still hit him. Since normal perfect dodge only evades melee attacks.

Fought this a few days ago. Yes, ranged attacks will go through his Perfect Dodge.

Took him out with this line up (difficult, but we all lived):

50 pld/war
50 whm/brd (subbed brd for mp refresh since we didn't have a brd or rdm with us)
52 thf/nin (me)
53 blm/rdm
53 blm/whm

Had no sixth member. So, if you're a thf and looking for the minimum required to fight, I think this is it...we had a hard time. Any less and someone probably would have died.
#REDACTED, Posted: Feb 16 2004 at 7:11 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Wtf are you talking about? First off, he's part of the THF AF2 quest, and only a THF with that quest can summon him.
