Minimum to kill is as follows:
73+ NIN, RDM, WHM, skill

Bring Echo Drops just in case.

Pop is lottery approx every 12 hours.

Got him yesrerday with those three jobs. Had already killed it for the RDM a while back, so I got the shield this time.

Really only a few things to worry about. You need an excellent NIN (I think ours only got hit...twice). WHM Flash instantly if NIN is hit, Stona or Silena right away. Erase INT down on RDM and Silena too. Keep Haste + Refresh and it's simple.

Fight probably took 10-15 minutes, since we had no real damage.
spawn conditions?

My party tried killing this thing tonight, we were lvl 67-69. Setup was rng rng rng rdm whm nin. Almost right away the nin got a hammer beak at the wrong time and pelican one shotted him, then another rng gets the same thing.

Luckily there was a party lvls 70-72 exping or doing something there so we allianced and had no other problems. Unfortunately as a rdm i lost the lot to a whm who was actually gonna let me have the aspis just as the treasure was being lotted >< so im gonna have to wait till next time to get my shield.

Our rng more or less accidentally pulled this guy last night. We fought it anyway. Our setup was...

67 brd/whm (me)
68 rdm/whm
67-68 rng/nin
67 nin/war
66 rng/nin
67-68 drk/thf

I kicked things off with Soul Voice and landed both Requiem and Elegy on him. Things went as usual, the ninja tanked until getting petrified. Then the fun part, I put Dragonfoe Mambo on the melees and the two rng/nins tanked for a good bit. One rng got Hammer Beak at the wrong time and died before we could heal him fast enough (he didn't have Eagle Eye Shot active). The 2nd rng then went down before getting off Eagle Eye Shot... >.<;;

The drk tanked for a very short time and by then the ninja came back and resumed tanking. So I double mambo'd the ninja and figured we wait this one out. The drk stayed alive and SAnTA'd onto me, but I think it missed b/c I didn't get hit...

The rdm did use Chainspell after the rngs went down although I am not sure what for.

Anyway, it died. We won. Our rdm now has a nice Astral Aspis.

The best part of the night was telling my LS that we were chaining Cockatrices and even beat Pelican without Stona. Quite amusing.
73? pffft

Took it out with a PT of 68's (leveling on ovinniks/greater cockatrices)

PLD/WAR
RNG/NIN
THF/NIN
BDR/WHM
BLM/WHM
WHM/SMN

Was pretty much a cakewalk, PLD used earth staff and jelly ring so pellican's attacks didn't hurt too bad. WHM did stona and cure duty, BLM assisted with cures and MB'd aeroga III on the light SC. THF SATA'd off of the BRD (for hate controll reasons) every 60 seconds. Took us about 9-10 minutes to kill this thing, got 4-5 cockatrice meats, a bunch of skins, a lotta earth crystals, and our WHM got the aspis ;).

I wound up dying due to pulling hate at the wrong time, and eating a hammer beak for 1012 right when utsusemi went down though. Was totally worth it though, one of the most fun fights i've had--especially since people say you need an alliance of 72-73's to kill this thing.

I was in an xp party (lvs 70-71) in Kuftal and we watched another party (all lv 75s) take this NM on. They all got killed so we weren't sure if we could take this guy. We decided to try anyway, and we kicked it's butt. I would suggest we managed it because we had a Ranger and a Dark Knight do a ligh skillchain, but you do not require a wussy "blink tank" for this. It never hit me for more than 120 damage and for the most part it was under 100, and I'm only a lv 70 PLD. It did feel really good beating this thing after watching the lv 75s fail.

Added effect...

Beaten this thing twice on a exp party 73-75, and once on a 2 pts alliance 70-72, got the Aspis drop all 3 times.

Does a lot of melee damage (i wouldn't recommend tanking it with a pld), does WSs a lot more frequently than regular mobs and Nms, Hammer Beak on a lucky (or unlucky...) hit can usually 1-shot everyone under 1.200 hp, and not only it does petrify with the usual Baleful Gaze, but it has an "Added Effect: petrify" on regular hits too, so make sure to spam warnings to your whm if he has damage taken by party filtered, cause it won't show up in log.

As long as you have a good blink tank, you can beat it though. Enjoy the aspis.
nope

Had a pt yesterday, 70 DRG, 70 RNG, 72 RDM, 72 PLD, 72 DRK, 71 WHM. We got it to the point where it woulda died to like one more WS from any melee. Unfortunately, at like 40% hp left on the Pelican, the RDM moved too far back and got smashed by a Ladon. Otherwise, we woulda won. Just gotta be careful 'bout fighting it...
Connection Lost!

I was in an EXP party of 68-71 (NIN, THF, RNG, BRD, RDM, WHM) when he popped. The RNG told me to cast reraise, thank goodness I did.

We were doing fine, he was down to about 25% when some sort of server burp kicked myself and the ninja out of the game (we were the two North American players in the party). A couple people on my friendlist and in my linkshell were kicked around the same time.

I logged back in, the BRD RDM and RNG were dead. The THF was fighting it alone and the NIN was standing there seeking party. The RNG was the party leader ; ;

There was not even a cross-hair of life on it, but alas it killed the THF, killed me... I reraised when the Ninja engaged it (it was literally down to 1%) it killed the Ninja then me again. I was able to cast Reraise II once more before it got the final blow.

I'm logging back on now, maybe we can still get it. ^^:

A was exping here with a 70-72 party. All melee 72, mages 70 or 71. We were owning the place up, so this guy pops... and they pulled it. We did very well I think, but were unable to kill him. I think we would have had a very good chance at winning had our WHM not been killed. It's hard to keep hate off so many Cures being thrown. -_-

Two casualties WHM and a RDM on the Escape. 70 x 12 as others have posted and a NIN tank would do wonders here. He hits very hard and has additional effect of petrification.

Yeah so we're xping of cockatrice in this area and suddenly our puller shouts Pelican! So, after some _short_ consideration we decide to pull (we didn't want the other pt to claim it first), so, as he pulls the pld shouts no no no! The dark knight d/ced ><. So, aproximately 20 seconds later pld got double taped followed by some TP move and dead, blm rdm and whm all attempted Escape but were petrified / silenced / paralyzed before that could happen. So, the only 1 who lived was the drk:-/. Whm had reraise on. Pt was every single person 72.

Should we have had our full pt @ full rest in no hurry, i do think this was a plausable kill. I only got in 1 spell (Aero IV) which moved its health bar only slightly less than it would've on a normal cockatrice.

pt setup - whm rdm blm pld sam drk - xp was good - nm wasn't.


Take care when fighting this, it hits sorta very hard.

//edit 15 mins later other pt decides to take it, they get wiped and NM is left @ 50% We decide to go for it. WHM preps Reraise and we start, after the SC i MB for 1000 ish, so the mob turns on me after petrifing and silencing pld, after 1 wack at me it turns and kills whm, i got phalanx up and i tanked for the next 30 seconds :-/. Whm reraised, did his best, finally pld got unpetrified and got going. Dark Knight 2 houred and finished it off. Got about 5 **** skin and meat, bunch of crystalsand the aspis. WHM and RDM fought over it, i decided to leave it alone. Whm got it, rdm was pissed, you know the rest of the story.

Fun night

Killed it
# Aug 30 2004 at 7:38 AM Rating: Decent
after 2 unsuccesful tries with a regular party.. party being paladin, warrior, samurai, whm, blm, rdm 69-72. We called in another 70 ninja and 70 whm. so 8 people total. Ninja tanked it since it was hitting 72 paladin for 150-200 damage regular hits. It does baleful gaze alot so you definately need whitemages for this. We killed it.. only 1 casualty.. me since it hit me with hammer beak for 1004 damage(samurai). But mp was burnt out. killed it gave astral aspis to our redmage. seems 100% from what i hear... i'd definately reccomend 70X12 to be on the safe side.

Haha, it'd whip 71's (i've seen it happen). I'd estimate a party, maybe two, of 75's.
