Historical Information

In Persian mythology, the Simurgh is a giant bird like creature described as being peacock-like, with the head of a dog and the claws of a lion. Though it is large enough to be capable of lifting and carrying off elephants and whales (see Roc) it is largely considered benevolent in nature.

Linked at times to the mythical Phoenix, the Simurgh is said to be so old that it has seen the birth and destruction of the Earth three times in its lifespan.

Today on Unicorn server this thing pretty much got zoned to Jeuno..people ended up fighting it close to the gates.
Cause of the new update it eventually grew too strong for the party to handle the fight.
It was hilarious..200+ people were in rolanberry fields O_o....
But seriously, we got to look out now with this new update.

Peace out

Never knew this guy dropped the ingot until it ended up on the LS mule after the camp (I was out drinking at the time). AncientsXI is back to ruling Simurgh on Sylph...

I took out this bish with 4 other members (Drk60{me}, Rdm60, Pld71, Mnk70, and Rdm 72), took us about an hour to get him to around 30% hp. Teh Simurgh has amazing evasion skills.. i could barely hit him, was using around 27 accuracy (no +acc food T_T;).. after about 20 mins the pld started gradually losing hate.. every so often teh simurgh would turn around and slap me or teh mnk until teh pld could use a JA to recover hate. at about 30 mins in the battle the pld couldnt keep anymore hate.. so everyone but one of the rdms had to zone to clear hate (didnt work as well as we thought it would ^^; ).. when we came back we let the pld solo it for a couple of vokes, then we engaged again. Pretty damn fun.. until one of the rdms ran out of mp and had to zone and convert... thats when simurgh turned around at killed our other rdm ><; when the rdm came back the pld started to kite it (me throwing in stuns to slow teh simurgh down) until the other rdm was raised and fully recovered.. i guess someone in teh pt freaked out, because before i knew it there was an alliance in our pt. Anyway they helped us finished it off, the ingot dropped (no boots ><, and they got half of teh money from drops.

So uh yeah, thats my experience with simurgh ^^ any tips i could give to anyone planning to fight this, have more than one tank.. it is possible for a small pt of 60-70s to kill him, but you need to have patience lol. Drk helps alot, throwing in absorb-agi and using TA Guillotine (if using thf sub) to stick hate on the tank/s. I noticed blm helps alot, since simurgh doesnt seem to be strong against magic. Enfeeb should stick (all of my absorbs stuck, and stun lasted a good 2-4 seconds). a pld in the pt is a must, Mighty Strikes should be countered with Invincible (make sure the pld´s 2hr is up if s/he´s planning on tanking). Make sure everyone brings +acc food.. as said before, this guy has very high evasion. And plenty of healing power wouldnt hurt either ^^.

So yeah, have fun with this guy.. if your planning on taking him on with just a small pt, be prepared for a long battle.
