Lol hell no the quadavs themselves will check T+. So if u solo T+ mobs on a regular basis, this NM is even tougher.

0/10 on him. I gave up. ^^

I just soloed Ga'Bhu as 56 THF/ 28 RNG. Heres how it went down:

I was farming Ooze/camping NM's in Beadeaux. Isee Ga'Bhu on widescan and KNOW that all the mobs on the top of the wall are EP to me and the onesw on the ground are T. But I say f*** it... could be a shot at a Valk Mask. So I run to that area and am actually able to move between/behind etc all the EP mobs along the way.
So I SATA and hit one of his shields... I have like 34 Bloody Bolts left and my 2 hour... thats about it... Ill just say this...
Ga'Bhu vs. Doom Round 1 Victor: Ga'Bhu by Bio/Poison
I HP, grab a X Potion, 3 stacks of bloodies, and a choco and do my best to haul **** back. I get there and see he's still on widescan... but there are about 7 new people in the area since I left... I figure someone will get him before I get all the way back over there... NOPE!!! No one was even ON his side. I manage to maneuver back to him with no aggro... SATA him and pull him back to the wall to try to avoid links..
I used a different strategy by everytime I had tp, I used Energy Drain(which I thought was useless), which drained his MP fast. I pounded away with my Corsairs and the Bolts... took me 46 bolts and my HP was down to 237, but I beat him. Got 41 xp, 90 gil, and a crappy Dual Rapier for my trouble. -_-

It spawned within 30 mins of camping with no other people camping him. Fought him as a Lv62 war/nin with about 95% life. I had to rampage him 3 times to kill him and his chainspell knocked me to about a 400 hp. When he started poking me for about 60 dmg each hit. Killed him with last rampage and only got a crummy rapier.

I wanted to camp this guy as my summoner, and thought that I might as well bring my thief sub along. I'm a 57SMN, and my THF is sorely underleveled (only lvl 16). So to counter my complete embarrasment, you know I went /anon.

After about 2 hours of killing only the quadav's in the J-5 to J-6 region (the upper level, I never went down to fight the gold/mythril/ancient quadav's), Mr. Unvanquished spawned. I wasn't fully healed when he spawned, so I wasn't as prepared as I had hoped. I was able to kill him after about 10 minutes. He never used his 2 hour, nor did I. I ended the battle with 102hp and 100mp. No Valk Mask, but I did get a shiny new Duel Sword (oh goodie...)

::edit::

clarified where I was fighting

been camping this guy 25+ hours now i'm 0/6, so annoying, they definetly changed his spawn area, it's huge now, drop rate sucks, I'd say his spawn rate is like 2-5 hours, i've seen him take about 5 hours to spawn sometimes.

I was just running by going to farm some rubys and i wanted to try and save echo drops so i waited a min for Silence to go off and he popped right then. I whooped him, for some reason his buddys didnt link on to me until he died, there were standing inside of us the whole time not linking it was wierd, but the second he died i had 3 on me. Being 75blm i also whooped them though :D No drop just the Sword.

During the update congestion I was the only person in Beadeaux for close to 4 hours. I ended up leaving with a V Mask, Holy Phial, 2 Dodge Earrings, 1 Dual Rapier, 1 Marine Hat, a Power Crossbow and a bunch of other crap. Pretty good, close to 700k in items.

Oh, and the Dual Rapier is NOT a 100% drop. I killed Unvanquished 2 times in I'd guess 3 hours, and once I got just a V Mask, the next time I got just a Dual Rapier.

Well today i was camping this nm with my friend, a 51 thf and myself a 51 nin. We were there for about 2 - 2 1/2 hrs. Didnt see it pop once. I guess we were pretty unlucky. Was a bit crowded, with atlest 4 others besides ourselves. :(
bst solo 58

Soloed him twice so far at 58bst. I send a pet/mob at him then heel once it gets some hate to train him to a safe spot (where the slimes are) then release pet(like carby pulling) and call a jug pet(I use funguars). Jug pet solos him with no problem but 0/2 so far ; ;.

0/2 now. Another duel rapier. I'm done camping this guy, though, because as soon as I warped back to Jeuno, I placed a bid and got the mask for 100k less than the entire recent history. Now I'm broke, but at least I can sell my Walkure >.>

BTW, at lvl 69 BLM this guy is still a mother to solo! Maybe if I hadn't used DoT and tried sleeping him instead...
got him

I was wondering can a 57War/Thf /Nin take this mob? If I go Thf, I would use Sleep Arrows to SA with or /Nin and duel axes. I have no clue about this NM, but it would be nice to smack him around a bit, especially for a nice drop..
nice to know

Me a 50 rdm/blm and two LS friends 43drk/war and 50mnk/war camped this NM for a few hours. We managed to get the claim despite competition.

It started to rain during the battle. Somehow a broo agro'd and a Water Elemental agro'd from the magic. Two high levels, a DRK and a THF killed the broo but watched as we nearly killed the NM but the elemental (DC at 50) ended up taking all my MP for cures and killing us all.

Then the THF claims the NM and finishes it off. I think the THF (name: Sneakk) is a JP player, but has enough english knowledge to understand the pleas for help with the elemental that they could have easily dispatched. Not to mention this same THF earlier asked me for cures and I helped out.

Thnx for nothing Sneakk. If you're on fairy don't expect help from that mithra.

I normally look on this website for the majority of my research when it comes to info on quest and NMs, I have to say I am sorely disappointed in the infromation given by posters :(.

Here's my story: My Dragoon LS member says to me "It would be awesome if I could get a Walkure Mask". "Walkure's Mask eh?" I say "That's a BCNM drop, good luck with that... But hey! I got an idea, lets go camp Ol' Ga'Bhu Unvanquished and get a Valkyrie's Mask(@400k on Cerberus) and sell it, then with the funds we can buy you a Walkure Mask(@300k on Cerberus) So you can have your mask, and we get a profit in the meantime!". Sounds all good, I come on here to find that he is a "2-4 hour pop" based on the information I gather, and that he has two place holders that pop on the east and west of the circle where he "does not pop in, but close to" Oh well, we figure we'd camp his for 2-4 hours and see if we cant get lucky.

We head to Beadeaux. Getting to the area shown clearly marked in the map above, to find a lvl 75MNK/THF standing near the wall at J5. Like most NM campers I've seen, he stands still and never moves to the left or to the right. I myself like to remain mobile. We start killing the placeholders, wondering why the MNK himself isnt killing them, after about 2 or 3 times of this we notice that the only time he even moves is when an Iron Quadav pops Infront of him, he runs over and kills it, runs back to his spot and waits another 15 min to repeat, we find this odd, as we read only Emerald Quadav's are the placeholders.. Oh well! We continue to kill placeholders for about an hour, our LS members decide to show up and help us out so we add a lvl 56 RDM and 56 DRK to the fray, I myself was a lvl 70 RDM and the DRG 55. We kill the place holders one last time, My DRG friend decides he will kill the Broo that wonders around in the area, I was resting for MP along with the other RDM, when I noticed that the DRK's health was decreasing, I walked over to see what had agroed him only to find that the Iron Quadav the MNK had been killing every pop had Agroed him, and to my suprise I see Ga'Bhu right behind him, but not for long as the name flashes purple and I give a /wave "Did you get him" They asked "No, you guys were too busy messing around." Oh well, maybe next time. To my surpise, looking at the map, he spawned right inside the circled area which "he does not spawn in, but near". I decide to log for about and hour because he's a "2-4 hour" pop, and me and the DRG meet back for another try, we do the same as before, the MNK had left and didnt seem to come back, after exclaiming before he ran off "I got a dual rapier". So we had the whole place to ourselves, we killed everything in sight and waited, after killing the Broo for fun we were making our way back over to the west side to check for Emerald spawns, to our surprise there was Ga'Bhu standing there, unclaimed he had once again spawned inside the "circle he does not spawn in, but near" 2 hr's from when he died, on the dot. I was ready for a hard battle, I had already prebuffed, and pulled him to us with a Silence, which did stick. What a pushover! I dont know how a lvl 75 could be getting whooped by such a wimpy NM. We continued to kill him finishing him off with a Penta Thrust for 504 damage, when the screen flashed: You find a Valkyrie's Mask on Ga'Bhu Unvanquished. Hurrah! I cast lots and obtain the mask, using the funds to buy my LS member the coveted Walkure Mask, I was talking to my dad about our luck when he decides he needs one for himself(yes, my dad does play FFXI) so off we go back to Beadeaux, we arrive at the spawn point(yes, inside the circle) not 2, but 1 hour to the T later, and guess who we see? Ga'Bhu standing there, but alas he was already claimed, we thought something was going on when we didnt see any Emeralds in the area, Poo. We decided we could camp him one more time, and so we started to clear links again, My dad being a 75WHM/THF(for TH) 2 hours later to the T, we see a NIN in the area, near the east side, my dad decides he will camp near him so he walks towards the NIN when low and behold who should pop inside the circle he doesnt spawn in but near? Ga'Bhu, my dad Flashes him and gets the claim before the NIN can bat an eye. We kill him quickly, my dad using Club and Hexa Strike. But alas, the victory was bitter sweet, A daul rapier dropped and that was that, maybe tomorrow.

So in that fact I submit to you that A) He does pop IN and around the area marked clearly on the map. B) He is not a hard kill and C) His spawn is more like 1-3 HR's not 2-4.

Some food for thought however, I believe the spawntime can be quickened if you kill not just the two Emerald Quadavs, but all the Quadav in the Area, Meaning all the Spinal, Iron, Emerald and Elders, There is about 4 Emerald's in the near area, we made it a habit to keep them clear(me and the DRG) this practice was voided when it was me and my dad however, and the pop was 2hrs instead of 1hr. I also noticed that the sun in the area became very bright before he popped, these are just observations though, not that they influence anything.

i've killed this guy 6 times, gotten a rapier everytime, and 0 valk masks ; ;

This guy is driving me crazy. I wish I would have never sold my valk mask when i first quit the game.
Maybe he's not so weak?

I saw a lvl 73 PLD getting whooped by this guy. maybe he was low on HP to begin with, I'm not sure. But I do know I was there getting the blood for my AF helm with 3 others and we were standing around watching and waiting for him to die. The PLD was losing about 5% every few seconds and it looked like he was going to die. We were waiting for him to so we could jump in and kill this mob but the PLD's BLM friend came in just in time for a cure or two and they killed him. Funny thing is after that fight we formed an alliance and they got the blood for me. lol. I felt a little bad about wishing he would die after they got the item.
spawn time
# Feb 22 2005 at 8:02 PM Rating: Decent
his spawn isnt 1hour too 1 1/2 it's longer. 2-4 hours is what i'v noticed. And also, were it's circled on the map were he spawns... i'v never seen him spawn there. heh, close, but never there. think the sword is 100% drop aswell, tobad it only goes for 6-7k.

Ga'Bhu Tips
# Jan 18 2005 at 9:48 PM Rating: Excellent
Ok. first things first. His spawn area has been changed, but only slightly. He still only spawns in J6-J7 but it can be ANYWHERE in that area (dont use the little circle on the map as a guide)

His place-holders are 2 Emerald Quadavs(RDM). One spawns at the west side of J6-J7 and the other at the east (sometimes just outside the boundries of J6-J7). Additionally within this area will spwawn 3 sets of monsters, made up of an Iron(PLD), Elder(WAR) and Spinel(Blm) in each set. If you do want to clear the area try and kill the monsters as soon as they spawn. The Emerald and Iron Quadavs have the habbit of going around and casting protect3 and shell and themselves and their fellow davs.

I have not timed it exactely but he seems to spawn within about 1 - 1.5 hrs if the placeholders are always killed.

What level is he? I'd tend to agree with him being lvl 48. He's essentially not that different from the lvl48 emeralds except for having heaps more hp and attack strength. Haste (lvl 48 for rdm) is the highest spell I have seen him cast.

As to the question "Can I take him at my level?", I can only relay my own experiences as a 61 rdm/whm. First thing. I can sometimes be the only one camping him, this means that I am never able to completely clear the area all the time and the possability of links exists (everything is boderline ep-tw to me). I try to avoid links as much as possible but if need be I have the mp to fight him and keep a couple of links asleep at the same time.

My agility is 48+14 and i have close to capped Eva. These helps alot plus blind helps him to miss even more. A combination of Protect3 + Phalanx + Bio2 means that he hits me for 10-30 with crits at 70-80. My own attack power is pretty weak and i dont cast dmg spells on him either so its generally a kinda slow fight. I just make sure that bio2, silence and blind are always on him and phalax in always on me and he's and easy kill. As a rdm/whm I have divine-seal + cure 4 for a good 700+ hp restore if he manages a few too many crits and convert if i'm really unlucky with add-ons.

I summary. I'd say that most lvl 60 jobs should take him alone with the right spells or medcines, however being able too keep him silenced in very usefull. if you get add-ons then the fight becomes significantly harder and unless you have the ability to sleeps the links or the def/hp to take their hits you might not make it.

On a final note, 2 having 2 ppl will greatly increase your chances of beating any competition as you can each cover one of the emerald's spwans points and hopefully snag Ga'Bhu when he pops. Pretty much evertime i have been beaten is when i'm killing the emerald on one side and he pops on the other while i'm busy. Oh, and Broo's agro to resting.

My record: 0/3 (3 duel rapiers to show for my effort)

Well I guess there arent many people camping this guy on Ifrit server. I was helping a friend with the magicite mission and I was standing around this guy for a good 10 minutes and no one ever claimed him. I told my 62WHM buddy, "Do you think we can take him?", my buddy says probably but lets just get this magicite mission done for our LS member. I finished the magicite mission and passed by here again just to check him out and what do you know he still wasnt claimed, guess all the campers fell asleep. So those of you who think you will never get the chance to get him think again some times there are no campers at all on NM's or they spawn early so just keep at it.
