Historical Information

In Greek mythology, Enceladus ("Trumpeter to Arms") was one of the Gigantes, the enormous children of Gaia (Earth) fertilized by the blood of castrated Uranus.

During the battle between the Gigantes and the Olympian gods, Enceladus was disabled by a spear thrown by the goddess Athena. He was buried on the island of Sicily, under Mount Etna. The volcanic fires of Etna were said to be the breath of Enceladus, and its tremors to be caused by him rolling his injured side beneath the mountain. In Greece, an earthquake is still often called a "strike of Enceladus".

Always leave his pets and he can't charm you. I camped him for a few days, killed him a few times and all he dropped for me a was a few pairs of socks and a mahogony shield. However, I was running through the tower with my LS doing a Zilart Mission and saw him. We killed him, he dropped...and I lost the lot ><. His drop rate is horrid.

Yes he can charm you. I was charmed by him with my 61 DRK. Another guy came over and claimed him. Slept me, :/

i had the chance to see this NM for the first time the other day... I am a lvl 50 drk/thf farming elementals and giants for gil up there and i run into enk. i figure, i take out mimas and porphyrion pretty easily so how hard can he be? well, i had him down to 2/3 hp and he charms me. i'm thinking wtf how does a dumbass gigas charm me. lucky for me there was no one nearby for me to attack, and after about a minute or two of following him around like a zombie charm wears off. what sucks is that during that time he had healed almost completely and i had not... so i drain him and start again. as he's almost dead 2 more giants pop and aggro but lucky for me a rdm shows up and takes the 2 links off me and i kill enk with 5 hp lol. all he gave me was 120g and some socks ><

for those trying to figure out what level he is, i was lvl 50 and got 12 xp!

i'm on the unicorn server and the rdm that helped me was Oxide. figured i'd give him credit for saving my sorry *** :P

According to the EXP Charts at http://www.geocities.com/bside_ffxi/index.html?200519 if you got 12 EXP when you killed him at 50, then he's level 38.

Don't kill the bats, my girlfriend and I were ******** around in the tower. She saw it and gnabed it before a SMN could claim it. It linked all the giants so when I got there I busted out hundred fists. Killed all the adds including his pet. Halfway through it charmed me! o.o;
Luckily I was only 48mnk and she was a buffed 60whm. Nothing like seeing a crit for 0! XD
Anyway she slept me and when I became un charmed we finished it. If it had charmed her though...
eep

I was farming here as THF52 with a BLM71 LS buddy when we saw this guy. Despite knowing he was BST class, I forgot to leave his bats alone and proceeded to kill them with a quick SA. I was only at half-HP so I healed since no once else was around and the BLM needed MP as well. My buddy shouted to grab it since someone was coming, so I pop up still ~1/2HP and engage him. I popped my two-hour just to be safe, and got Utsusemi up as I didn't know what to expect. Things were going fine until some other giants popped around us. No prob, the BLM can handle those. Interestingly enough, my BLM was ignoring the giants and following me around. Then I notice *SMACK* "Trewgle hits you for 35 damage."

That's when things went hazy. When I came to, my battered body was underneath Enkelados with my buddy BLM following him like a zombie.

I couldn't even be upset (even though I delvled) because I was laughing too hard. I will never forget the pure hilarious panic I felt when I realized my buddy was slapping me upside the head with his Earth Staff. In retrospect, we were glad he didn't cast any -ga spells on me. Plus, his staff skill increased by 0.2 points ^^

Yeah, I faught this guy 4 times total, and each time he's tried to charm me, and missed everytime. I got the drop once, along with a total of 4 Giga Socks, 2 Mhogany Shields, and 2 Giga Necklaces. And from what I can gather, he's a 1 hour lotto pop. I solo this guy n/p. He'd be lucky to deal me 300 damage if I link everything else in the room.

62 DRG/31 THF when I faught him.
Fun

Sounds fun, I'll camp him with my lvl 52 Rng friend. Maybe I'll get charmed and kill my friend (Thats a good thing) and plus, I need the drop for my lvl 50 WAR. :) I can't lose!
STILL no spawning

it was funny my LS friends (48blm and a 52 PLD) were taking me (lvl 40 rng) to get rank 4 and i said hey NM on widescan. we kill mimas and then off towards him. we get there just as a lvl 70+ jp nin was about to fight him. our PLD provoke and the fight began. when it was almost dead it actually charmed the nin (who was just standing there watching) and the nin started attacking us lol. well the NM died soon and then the nin just ran off without saying a word.

Rawrrrr... so i was messin around in the Tower while seeking party. I run up to where the IT dolls and junk are on the highest lvl and junk goof off.... open up the door to come down and this dude is lookin right at me... he didnt aggro so i figured i would give it a shot. It was prolly EP to me... but anyways. I have him down to about half HP and like 5 people come runnin up and kill its pet >.> guess that pissed him off cause then he uses his 2hr and charms me causing me to disengage... then a PLD voked it and i started attackin him... it was super fun even though he killed it when it had like 10% hp and gettin the drop lol

If you are worried about being charmed eat a garlic cracker. They give +10 resistance to being charmed.

Ghebi Damomohe sells them in Lower Jeuno for very little gil.
Easy fight.

I was farming up there as a 60DRK/THF and ran into Enk after a couple hours. Fight was fairly easy. When he had about 20% hp left he appeared to use a 2 hour that kinda looked like Mighty Strikes, but he missed me every time after that so i dont know if it was MS or maybe even a charm attempt. Anyways, killed him pretty easy but had to 2 hour cuz 2 other gigas popped during the fight and linked after i was out of mp so i couldnt drain. Got the bracelets. Sold em for 55k on Midgard.

Don't say Enkelados doesn't use Charm, BECAUSE HE DOES.

Me and a friend were fighting him, Me a 46 DRG/WAR at the time, my friend was a 53 WHM/SMN.

I got charmed, and it made me kill my friend.

When I was uncharmed i tried to take it but i died from links.

HE WILL CHARM YOU IF HE HAS THE CHANCE
#REDACTED, Posted: Aug 14 2004 at 8:56 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Me and my bro both fought this monster in an alliance and no one ever got charmed so all this stuff about being charmed is nonsense.

Yes, he does try to charm you. Tried on me and he failed as a 56 rdm. Don't know what gives you resistance to it, probably charisma.

This just goes to show, know what you're talking about before you make an asshat comment like this person and make yourself look like a fool. Yes, he CAN and WILL charm you if given the chance.

He charmed a friend of mine once, and my friend had the good luck to kill Faerieanna while he was charmed. Faerieanna is a 24/7 gil farmer on Asura if you didnt know, always paired up with Ending farming for IGE. So it was funny that he killed the gil farming wh*re.
Enke
# Aug 13 2004 at 7:21 PM Rating: Decent
I camp him with 3 others, a rdm, whm, and war (I'm a mnk). The whm and war take one pop point, while the rdm and I take the other.

So we had cleared the room, and enke pops. At this point, I had no idea he could charm you, so I hit hundred fists and start going to work on it...then he charmed me. Rdm lasted a few seconds before falling dead. So the war and whm are running to us (even though I'm telling them not too until charm wears off) and I'm walking around behind Enke, enable to control my character.

So the war and whm arrive, and I start going to work on the war. He starts getting a bit low, and the whm casts just about every enfeeb buff possible on me. Finally, I got slept and the war and whm finished the NM off. AND we got the braclets for the war.

In retrospect is was funny, since the rdm was my fiancee at the time.

O_O

P.S. We were lvl 50 at the time.

Wow... amazing...

I'm going to do rank 4 soon and although I won't fight this one, I'm reading about all mobs that are close by... and seeing that he can charm your party members amazed me...

Couple of questions for people who fighted this... for when the time comes to fight it myself.

- Can you change equipment when charmed? (Removing your main would be nice, if not changing to some crappy big sword with 666 delay or so)
- Does the mob use your magic when you are charmed? (Ie, blm nuking party members, or whm healing the mob)
- How long lasts the charm?

And a little bit off-topic...
- Are there any other mobs that charm?

This guy is too high, but it could be a way to contest someone on a pvp...

ie.. two 75's go to fight this guy but they don't really do more than **** him off... then sleeping the mob just when he charms someone.. and then have a real pvp75 for a minute or so... wouldn't be nice? If lower lvl mobs charmed, this may be true as well for not-so-high lvl players.

I fought this mob.. it start out me and a 52DRK and two other lvl 30s where fighting it, til he got charmed (DRK). Basicly.. its like fishing.. you sit there and just watch the screen. You cant change equipment or anything.

Well i had a pretty funny experience with this Nm, i was up in delkfutts doing mission for rank 4 as my 50 samurai, i see someone fighting the nm, he puts his flag up, i invite him, my health was running low, so i use my 2hr, and Enkalados CHARMED ME, and used me to kill my other party member, thats was the coolest thing that has happened to me yet
easy
# Aug 02 2004 at 1:36 AM Rating: Default
