The Requiem - BRD AF2
|
SummaryA certain post is rotated at the meadhouse. Now, it's your turn. WalkthroughOnce you have completed the quest Painful Memory, proceed to Lower Jeuno and enter the Merry Minstrel Meadhouse. Talk to Bki Tbujhja and she will mention that you need to bring her a vial of Holy Water. Do so, and she says you need to pay your respects to the bard of yesteryear. She tells you to pour the flask of holy water onto a sarcophagus in the Eldieme Necropolis. To access the necessary entrance to Eldieme Necropolis, head to Beaucedine Glacier and go through the tunnel at H-11, where you zone into Battalia Downs. Once there, enter the Eldieme Necropolis at F-5. Make your way to the dead-end room at D-4, where you will find the sarcophagus. This room has four Blood Soul mobs that scan as 'tough' to a level 50 bard. Clear the hallway and the room, then rest and recover hp and mp. Your party/alliance should camp at the top of the stairs that leads to the dead-end room. Trade your holy water to a sarcophagus. This will spawn three skeleton notorious monsters, Owl Guardian, Dog Guardian, and Yum Kimil. You need to destroy these NMs quickly, as you are under a time limit. If you can manage to kill one of the NMs without drawing agro from the others, it is possible that the other two will despawn. If the NMs despawn before you can kill them, or if you are defeated, nothing will happen when you re-examine your sarcophagus. Wait a few minutes and touch it again, and the NMs will respawn. Once the NMs have been defeated, re-investigate the same sarcophagus you poured the Holy Water onto to initiate a cutscene. After receiving the Star Ring key item, return to Lower Jeuno and speak again with Bki Tbujhja to receive your Choral Slippers. Quest SeriesThis quest is part of the bard artifact armor series.

Well, let me start off by saying that this is a very boring, very /long/ fight if you plan on trying to solo it without using the zone trick.
I just helped a Japanese player (BRD51/WHM25) do this fight.
I went as PLD75/DNC37.
We went in, cleared the room of the spirits and then the bard popped the skeletons. The bard went down immediately before she could cast lullaby, and before I could claim all three skeletons. Rather than run away and do the whole thing over from the beginning, I fought the monsters.
First, I focused on killing the Owl Skeleton. This took a great deal of time and was quite annoying, as the other two skeletons cast spells and used melee attacks on me. I used no offensive magic during the fight. I made sure to use Quickstep and Box Step on the skeleton to ensure a higher hit rate and damage. My TP remained between 200 and 300 for the majority of the battle. I focused on healing myself with Curing Waltz II and removing negative status effects with Healing Waltz. Don't use Drain Samba. It doesn't work.
Eventually the Owl went down, and next came the dog. If my TP began to run low, I'd cast Flash and Cure IV, then pop Curing Waltz II to keep my HP above 900. Yum Kimil has some pretty effective Ancient Magic, so it's a good idea to keep your HP as full as possible if you see him start to cast it. I found that Freeze was the most devastating of all of his spells.
After the Dog went down, I continued the same strategy on Yum Kimil, using Sentinel and Rampart on occasion to mitigate damage, flash to avoid attacks, and Quick Step and Box Step to enfeeble. I used Healing Waltz whenever I had anegative status effect, Fealty to avoid sleep, and Chivalry when I ran out of MP (This happened twice, thus the entire battle was well over 30 minutes long, but it was pretty cool to solo it.) Eventually, Yum Kimil went down and I raised the Bard, who was rather shocked that I managed the feat, and very happy that she had her Bard Artifact.
This is easily soloable by PLD75/DNC37, but expect it to take a while. I recommend wielding Joyeuse for more TP gain, and Walahra Turban for Haste+5%.
If anyone on the Phoenix server would like to check the validity of this, My name is Lunetta, and the Japanese Bard is Apollonios.

I have tried this 3 times as 75MNK/NIN, MNK/WHM and MNK/BRD. Been rocked all 3 times. On the 3rd time I killed 2 of them but the Dog Guardian owned me at 20%.
Any tips?

This quest started out poorly for me at first on 75BLM/RDM. Had NPC out, got yag drink, spawned NMs. Was fully buffed up with SS/Blink/Phalanx. NMs made pretty short work of me, but for some reason, I was able to start running away with 33hp left and my NPC managed to ding me with a Cure 3 on my way to the exit, which saved me.
Rested to full, zoned in again and ran back down to the area. Saw Owl Guardian standing there in the hallway going to the sarcophagus, and so I pulled him and killed him. Rested to full again, and went back to the room... no NMs. Clicked on the sarcophagus again, thinking "Oh christ, now I'm going to have to do this again.", but ended up getting the cutscene.
Guess I'm lucky for once.

I'd have to say my number one recommendation would be: go /BRD, bring a light staff. Horde lullaby stuck 100% as WHM70/BRD35. Also bring a WHM with capped club (*'-')b
My first try went badly with me as WHM/BLM and my friend as DRK/NIN. The main NM's enspell was hitting me for 100+ damage and they may have crappy acc, but not against a WHM. 2nd try with WHM/NIN, RDM/NIN and WHM/BRD it was easy.

Where it says "This quest requires Zilart", what exactly does it mean?
BAD n00b question. "Requires Zilart" indicates that at least part of this quest takes place within areas added in the "Rise of the Zilart" expansion (the first expansion), and people who SOMEHOW lack that expansion, are not going to be able to reach these areas.

duo'd, playing both 75 rdm and 75 blm/brd.
Pulled all three NMs to the small stairs right outside the room (not to the zone) so I could horde lullaby. With an apollo's staff, I rarely got resisted on the owl/dog guardians.
Spirit taker + thunder IV/III, rdm mostly for heals/debuffs because I stupidly forgot to bring a sword =P The NM didn't sleep from the many horde lullaby spells I cast, so I killed it first. No serious trouble, converted once for safety, but generally an easy fight considering no tank.

I just did the fight yesterday. I had 2 Warriors one at 75 and the other at 74, 2 White Mages 58 & 62, a Black Mage 67, and me as a 50 Bard. We got there and a party popped them finished and Escaped out. We waited a bit, cleared the room of some ghosts that popped. I pooped them and the two Warriors provoked two of the skeletons. The Black Mage slept the other one. I casted Paeon and Ballad on everyone and used finale on Yum Kimil since he seemed to love Ice Spikes. After the two skeletons were beaten and they were going after the last one, I stood at the coffin ready to get the CS when he died. Got it, everyone warped out, got a D2 from the BLM and got the slippers. Ty to those LS members and the two Warriors who volunteered their time to help me.
Stupid people are like Slinkies... they really don't do anything, but they put a smile on your face when you push them down the stairs!!!
Went in as MNK75/NIN37. Did not clear a path or clear the room or anything. Popped the mobs then ran back and zoned. Rested up then went back in and pulled whichever one was closest to me: happened to be Owl Guardian. Pulled it back to near zone on stairs and then wailed away. He hit me once for 19 dmg. I Asuran Fisted him for 1555 dmg. It was not very tough.

I was debating on whether or not I was going to actually beat these 3. Everyone made it sound so hard. I went in RDM/NIN and after about 3 minutes I quit using shadows unless I saw AM being casted. Then I timed it so that I had shadows up for the blink to eat AM. This took me 15 minutes to solo and I only went yellow twice... (think Convert 2x)
This fight was a bloody joke. Why people say this is hard is beyond me. I wasted 4k on a charge of RR. I hate myself for it. I think DS might have given me more trouble.. lolDS

If at 100 MPH water feels like concrete, whats concrete feel like???
Sneaking pulling didn't work for me at all.
Had to fight them twice, I killed both Dog Guardian and Yumi, but the owl guardian depopped and I didn't get the cutscene. The second time I killed all three and got it.
My strategy is this - pop the NM, sic your pet on all 3, then concentrate on Yumi. When your pet is about to die, run toward the zone and recall CC - by now one of the Yumi should be near death. After you killed Yumi the battle becomes easy as neither Guardian cast Ancient Magic, and have poor accuracy.

I traded to the mithra and then tried trading the holy water to a sarcophogus... Nothing happened... Anyone know a reason? I'm pretty sure I don't have to be on BRD to trigger the NMs according to all these posts. But did I miss something between trading the holy water to the mithra and trading the holy water to a sarsophogus?

seems like you didn't wait long enough, same thing happen to me i just log the next day and NM poped when i trade, and btw solo this as mnk with NPC was easy. aggroed all three, but one advice i can give ya is kill Yumil Kilmil first which the one that will cast ancient magic the other ones are cake and would probably miss you the whole time.

I solo'd this as NIN75/WHM37. It wasn't easy, but I managed to kill them on my second try ^^
On my first try, I buffed up (Protect 2, Shell 2, Stoneskin, Reraise), got my MP back then drank a Yagudo Drink before popping the NM's. I started killing the closest NM, which was one of the guardians. The fight was pretty easy at the beginning, although I got hit regularly, either because of their AOE TP moves that strip shadows, or by the occasional -GA spell cast by the {Mega Boss}. Unfortunately, I also got hit once by an Ancient Magic, for around 500-600 damage, if I remember correctly. It kinda hurt me. I finished the first guardian, then started attacking the boss, but he had Ice Spikes on, and it pretty much killed me, because of the Paralysis effect. Oh, Yum Kimil also has an additional effect that does pretty high damage (up to 100+ damage, I think - Enfire maybe?). After a while, they killed me, so I waited for them to depop before reraising.
I decided to try again, although I didn't have any drink left to refresh my huge Elvaan MP pool (about 160 mp!). I checked the Sarcophagus again to pop the NM's, but this time I decided to kill the boss first. He didn't open the fight with Ice Spikes, but he did cast it mid-fight. I killed Yum Kimil, then I could kill the 2 guardians, one after the other. The whole fight took about 9-10 minutes, and I finished with 400-500 hp left.

Yes of course its easier to do as a high level but this was a fun fight. I just went and killed these three solo as NIN/BRD. Took myself an au lait kept march or paeon up and then horde lullaby the mobs i wasnt fighting. Killed the named nm first and rinse wash repeat...too fun. Almost as fun as time i killed dark spark at 59 solo xD hope this helps those who are looking for fun and original ways to fight something ^^.
...Last on the field, Last off the field, always the first to die for his friends giving whoever as much hell as I can...always remember TANK!
I did this today as 56BRD, 74NIN, 62WHM.
Came in and cleared the room. Popped the NMs, ran to the stairs and hit Horde Lullaby. With light staff the mobs slept every single time I cast it with no resists. The Ninja started off with the main mob, and I just kept sleeping them and debuffing. Took about 3-4 minutes to kill all three.
I recommend this strategy to all.

I just duo'ed this easily with NIN75 and BLM75 (both me ^^)
I trained all 3 to the exit, but for some reason, Yum Kimil did not chase me at all (I didn't have sneak on or anything) So I just started whacking them. They have ridiculous accuracy and I never really got hit except by AoE. After killing one of the guardians, I went back to the graves, training the other skellie.
Then I just started slaughtering the main NM and eventually killed them both. BLM/RDM just did some dispel and a few cures, never needed more :)

Reading through everyone's victory and/or horror stories, i was wondering--can anyone confirm that it's the Owl Guardian that needs to be killed in order to get the cutscene after the others despawn? From what it sounds like, several people/parties have tried to kill Yum Kimil and let the other two despawn, but to no avail and end up having to do the fight again. As i am getting ready to do this fight, i'd be interested to know if that was the case.

I needed to do this quest for my the rest of my BRD AF. Not as easy as it looks. Got together some friends 75SAM 75THF 63BLM and me 53BRD. We where pretty confindent since we saw it was possible to solo by a level 75.
Anyways we met up in Jeuno and got a Teleport-Vahlz from there. Headed from Xarcabard > Beaucidine Glacier > Batallia Downs > and finally The Eldieme Necropolis (Mazurka made it feel a bit faster). I did get aggro along the way but nothing we couldn't handle.
So we reach the entrance and we head all the way to the dead end room. I tell them to clear out the room and the stairs (That way we won't be bothered during the fight). Finally when everything is clear I tell them to stand back and I Blink and Sneak myself. I go trade the holy water and they spawn. They all link and I run back to the camp (This is not good). The SAM vokes one of them of me and the THF gets another while the BLM heals me back up. The fight is not looking good so far. I use the little MP I have to lend a few Cure IIIs. At some point a Lich links with the NMs (Probally due to my low HP). Then the BLM somehow gets hate and he dies (It's always the BLM that dies first). Now the fight is really starting to look ugly. We have one member down and still have yet to kill a NM. Now I start having doubts about our victory and start making preparations to zone. I gather up a few MP and cast sneak on myself so I wont get aggro during our escape (I'm so smart). I tell the party I'm zoning and they should follow. I travel a few feet away only to find death (I forgot they aggro to low HP). Ok now only the SAM and THF are alive. The SAM dies taking one of the NMs with him. The THF uses Flee and lives to fight another day (Such a coward).
We are left with three bodies and no one around to raise (Not the best scenario). The area that we were in is very secluded so we doubted anyone would be willing to come and Raise us. Well I was not willing to give up so easy and I told them to hold on while I came back with my RDM to raise them (Oh why didn't I bring my RDM in the first place). I H.P. and try to make it back as fast as I can. I get lost along the way with no map and find myself in Ranguemont Pass(I travel mostly by memory). At this point I start remembering how much of a pain the Beaudecine Glacier is to travel through. I quickly find the wrong turn I took and I'm back on the right pass. I get back to the place and rush to Raise them with minutes to spare.
We rest up and wait for the weakness to wear off (Oh yea, round two is ours). Now having my RDM I feel confident we will handle the fight with ease. Once we are all healed up I buff up with all my defensive spells and sneak in hopes that they will not link this time. To my dissapointment sneak does not work this time either (Damn you guide, you betray me again). Ok so now once again I have all three of them on my back. Again the SAM vokes one of me. This time however I am not all beat up and I am able to hold one of until they get done killing the other NMs (I love my RDM). The THF tanks the hard NM while we wait for the SAM to finish his NM off. I keep my Stoneskin up while the SAM uses his 2hr on Yum Kimil after he killed one of the guardians. The SAM and THF quickly finish it off with the BLM Magic Bursting of the Skillchains. It is all downhill from here as we fight the last one. We all celebrate while I go check the tomb again for the cutscene and get my ring.
This quest might not be as easy as it looks but with some planning and a little help it can be done. Also dont expect Sneak to work when planning your strategy (Did not work for me). However, I do belive that only Yum Kimil aggros initially at the beginning. If somehow you are able to pull just Yum Kimil without linking the others I belive that he is the only one you need to kill to complete this quest (If you got the skills go for it). I think it differs in which tomb you have to trade the holy water (First on the right did not work for me). At least two level 75 or three level 70+ I recommend going with you for this fight (More if your can get them). Anything less than that is possible but you will have a hard time. Well I hope my experience helps some of you who are hoping to do this for your BRD AF. Good luck to all of you. Rate me up (Please)!
Anyways we met up in Jeuno and got a Teleport-Vahlz from there. Headed from Xarcabard > Beaucidine Glacier > Batallia Downs > and finally The Eldieme Necropolis (Mazurka made it feel a bit faster). I did get aggro along the way but nothing we couldn't handle.
So we reach the entrance and we head all the way to the dead end room. I tell them to clear out the room and the stairs (That way we won't be bothered during the fight). Finally when everything is clear I tell them to stand back and I Blink and Sneak myself. I go trade the holy water and they spawn. They all link and I run back to the camp (This is not good). The SAM vokes one of them of me and the THF gets another while the BLM heals me back up. The fight is not looking good so far. I use the little MP I have to lend a few Cure IIIs. At some point a Lich links with the NMs (Probally due to my low HP). Then the BLM somehow gets hate and he dies (It's always the BLM that dies first). Now the fight is really starting to look ugly. We have one member down and still have yet to kill a NM. Now I start having doubts about our victory and start making preparations to zone. I gather up a few MP and cast sneak on myself so I wont get aggro during our escape (I'm so smart). I tell the party I'm zoning and they should follow. I travel a few feet away only to find death (I forgot they aggro to low HP). Ok now only the SAM and THF are alive. The SAM dies taking one of the NMs with him. The THF uses Flee and lives to fight another day (Such a coward).
We are left with three bodies and no one around to raise (Not the best scenario). The area that we were in is very secluded so we doubted anyone would be willing to come and Raise us. Well I was not willing to give up so easy and I told them to hold on while I came back with my RDM to raise them (Oh why didn't I bring my RDM in the first place). I H.P. and try to make it back as fast as I can. I get lost along the way with no map and find myself in Ranguemont Pass(I travel mostly by memory). At this point I start remembering how much of a pain the Beaudecine Glacier is to travel through. I quickly find the wrong turn I took and I'm back on the right pass. I get back to the place and rush to Raise them with minutes to spare.
We rest up and wait for the weakness to wear off (Oh yea, round two is ours). Now having my RDM I feel confident we will handle the fight with ease. Once we are all healed up I buff up with all my defensive spells and sneak in hopes that they will not link this time. To my dissapointment sneak does not work this time either (Damn you guide, you betray me again). Ok so now once again I have all three of them on my back. Again the SAM vokes one of me. This time however I am not all beat up and I am able to hold one of until they get done killing the other NMs (I love my RDM). The THF tanks the hard NM while we wait for the SAM to finish his NM off. I keep my Stoneskin up while the SAM uses his 2hr on Yum Kimil after he killed one of the guardians. The SAM and THF quickly finish it off with the BLM Magic Bursting of the Skillchains. It is all downhill from here as we fight the last one. We all celebrate while I go check the tomb again for the cutscene and get my ring.

I really should have read the posts below the Quest before I went in for <Full Attack>, but didn't.
Anyways, I solo'ed (kinda) this as 75 RDM/NIN. Had my NPC with me (Lev 61, G-Katana #7). Had decent DD gear(Joytoy/Dusk gloves/pants/Ohat), used Taz Taco for the DEF+. I took a beating.. but ended up killing all 3. Had to use convert after killing the first 2.. AOE killed my NPC, but I called again for the last non-mage NM.. Could have easiely solo'd that one.
Only reason I did this was so I can do the next AF for BRD and actually get something useful for BRD. Is it just me, or is this piece of AF junk?

I just soloed this quest last night as a SMN72/WHM36. It was definately a rush, especially since I prepped with Reraise/StoneSkin/Blink/Aquaveil. Then popped them. We'll they all attacked me immediately, I lost SS/B fast, ran to Zone with 83 HP. But before I did I Dia-ed the Dog Gaurdian. Zoned. Divine Sealed a Cure III then went back in.
Killed him with Carby, and meleed using Spirit Taker (took 2 Carbys) then Brought out Titan and used Mountain Buster or whatever the 70 BP is and that wiped him. Then ran down assuming that the other 2 despawned (this was a period of 5 mins or so) They were still there, I aggroed them, the one Yum Kimil started casting Freeze already having 280HP I thought it was a sure death. I ran and he followed interupting giving me time to summon Carby.
Took 2 Carby's we took him down for 20 XP. :) Then got my CS and went to Jeuno. Easy as cake, I enjoyed the fun of near death more than anything. Good luck to anyone who solo's. It's fun!

Just did this fight as BST75/WHM37.
Put up Blink+Stoneskin and had my DD gear on. Popped NMs with Sneak on. As expected they all aggrod anyway. Zoned to glacier as I had planned. Was taking about 40/hit with 289 defense. I took a total of about 500HP in damage after buffs before I managed to zone.
Came back and cast Sneak. Dog Guardian aggrod through sneak so I put CourrierCarrie on it. Was expecting depop soon based on the 1:15 timer someone listed. That timer might be accurate, but only if it starts after they lose aggro on everyone. It took me about 1:00 game time to zone and the others depopped after about 1:30-2:00 game time more.
CC had 72% of her HPs left with almost no help from me. Had to Heel her to wait for other skellies to depop. Checked sarc again and got my cut scene and key item.

Solo'd this today as RDM.
Sneak pop does, indeed, not work. I even used a silent oil to see if it made a difference. Nope.
My plan was to zone the three skellies, then come back and claim the main one, Yum Kimil.
Once I popped them, I immediately silenced Yum Kimil and ran to zone (so he wouldn't be far behind from trying to spellcast)
When I came back in, Yum was ahead of the two other skellies, which was a problem, so I trained them back to zone, gravity'd Yum and zoned again.
The other two skellies were now ahead of Yum, so I silenced Yum and began beating on him.
After I defeated him, I ran to the coffins (didn't find the other two skellies on the way), examined the one I traded the holy water to, and got CS!

Sneak pop don't work in this, because when you trade your holy water your sneak will immediately wear, so unless you can sneak right after it (not sure if possible before aggro) you can't avoid the aggro. If you pop it the 2nd time (which people are saying you don't need to trade holy water) then its possible to sneak pop i guess.
i just done it again , this time solo ( for AF+1) on my whm/nin, sneaked pop and found it i can't sneak pop..... so i ran to zone, recast utsusemi and stoneskin then zone back in, and claim on of the nm and wait for the others to go back to the spawn place, kill it down to 10% hp and wait for other nms to despawn. Easy. the skeleton misses me a lot. i took owl guardian who don't seem to cast.

Sneak pull did not work for me. As soon as I pulled, Yum Kimil started casting on me, and the Guardians linked.
I went as 75RDM/37WHM (to cure status effects) and had to chain-teleport. I got the main mob down to about 65% before deciding not to push my luck ^^; Maybe I could have fought all three with sub NIN, as Blind seemed to make the Guardians miss almost 100%.
I'll prolly find a THF or /THF to aggro and Flee to zone with 2 of the mobs. Either that or I'll spawn as BRD, die, and let someone else pull just one, raise me, and kill it ftw!

i solo'd these today as BST75/whm.
sneak pull did not work, i had to fight all 3 of them. i put my CC on all 3 of them and it was not looking good so i had to melee on one of them to help out.
At my second jug the first was almost dead (the one i was meleeing) a rampage finished it off.. then on the second which was at about 10% and the last one which was very easy.
CC hits for about 220-280 and gets hit for about 50.
This was by far the hardest first AF fight i have solo'd (about as hard as the NIN's last AF fight).
at least the zone is close so you have a good chance to run away if things start going bad.

Just got these beautiful slippers after being killed twice in a row against the NM's, as a brd 55. The whole "w/ sneak no hate thing" doesn't work as one may think. The NM's will still aggro you so my only tip is; Spawn them, run like crazy up the stairs to your friends and have them voke the aggroeing ones. I only brought a 74 PLD to help me and I might suggest getting a few more because the first time I got killed immediately and they started beating my friend up so badly he almost died (he zoned). The second time we tried, I got killed again in like 5 sec, luckely only 1 aggroed the PLD and after about 2 min he came back and raised me. I ran to the grave and got my CS at last! So make sure you have a buffer and some good ppls with you on this one ;)

Posted: May 22 2006 at 4:57 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Just finished this a few minutes ago as RDM75/BLM. I traded the holy water without sneak, aggroed and had to zone. I zone out and back in and Dog Guardian is there all alone so I go kill it and go back to check if the other NMs are back at spawn and they already despawned... I check the Scargophagus and get CS.

Just did this today as 70blm/whm with a 63whm, 57blm, and 53drk. We cleared out the hallway, and the room, healed MP, buffed up, and we all had sneak on. The whm (who needed the AF) went up and popped the NMs and IMMEDIATELY got hit with sleep II and poison II. she dropped quick. the drk voked and went next, then the 57blm, and finally me. Either we did something horribly wrong, or these NMs were changed to not be able to be popped w/ sneak up. They ripped us up good.

Ok, for those who dont know, such as I, you cannot kill the one you pull to fast. The other two must despawn while you fight or else it wont work. Make sure, if you kill very fast like me, that you dont pull till one vanadiel hour has gone by.
uhhh i dunno what im doing wrong. I'm going as 75 rdm/blm. I spawn the NM's, then they pop. I I pull 1 nm so i don't aggro the other 1's. Then i 2hr Chainspell to kill it really fast cause it says i have to kill fast to get the quest done. WEll i kill it b4 my Chainspell even wears (it prolly dies in like 20 sec), after i let the 2 other NM's despawn. I touch the same coffin thing i did b4 and i get "Nothing Happened..."
Someone wanna help me out??? maybe i'm killing the NM too fast?

solod as pld/nin at 75, war sub probably would have worked fine as well, it wasnt hitting hard and isnt a mage type as far as I can tell. As above, pop mobs, use cure to pull owl and head back to the top of stairs.
Ended with 90% hp casting almost no spells, I flashed a few times to recast shadows, I had a lot -evasion so they werent lasting long ^^;; The original post seemed to imply that you needed to kill before they depopped naturally or something... when I went back to sarc the other 2 were gone (it took me a good few mins to kill it) and I checked to get my cutscene and item.

just soloed this as a 75 BLM/WHM, at this lv nothing in the room (or omw to the room) can aggro me at 75. I made my way to the coffins, casted sneak and traded holy water to 2nd coffin on the left, 3 NMs spawn. I run out of room and time how long they stayed before they despawn. I clocked it a 1:15 game time.
[all time below is game time.]
- At 12:00 i cast sneak pop the mobs and run back to hallway.
- At 12:15 i cast buffs:
Protect II / Shell II / Blink / Stoneskin / Aquaveil / Ice Spikes. and rest to full (sneak before rest)
- At 1:00 I cast cure on the Owl Guardian, as he runs to me i cast Blind.
- I then procede to Nuke with Thunder IV, Fire IV, Water IV and Aereo IV, at which point i run out of MP, no problem, I hit 2 HR cast Thunder IV at which point stoneskin wears off but thanks to paralze from ice spikes and Aquaviel my thunder IV was not interupted, I quickly recast stoneskin and let lose of another Fire IV which finish off the Skele. I then recas sneak (safety 1st :p) then check the same coffin and get my key item.
Just remember that all NMs will despawn after 1:15 game time, so I recommend you pull the Owl Guardian 1 hour (game time) after you pop the NMs. Very easy on my BLM had 801/909 hp at the end of fight

Now we did have 3 high level people, but rng are weak against bone mobs. We still kicked ass. First time we killed one and others despawned and nothing happaned when she checks the spots. So we wait and she checks again and all of them pop out.
PLD had to 2 hour and we all zoned.
Came back, popped them again, fought one, others despawned, and she got CS.

Did this a day ago. Just me(58 brd) and a 73 nin. This does'nt take an alliance or even a party. I just sneaked myself, traded the water, pulled one with cure, and the only time we ever got hurt was when it used blood weapon. But yeah, really easy, anyone level 65+ with utsusemi could handle one with ease ^^

Do you have to be a bard to get the key item? Can you just start the quest and then switch to a higher job for the fight (let's say Monk?) and still get the key item?

As with any AF once you activate quest, you can switch to another job to finish it, i for one will be doing this Quest with my White mage once it is activated!
I would like to confirm what Xino said since I just did this last night for a couple bards on my LS.
If you can complete the battle by killing just 1 of the mobs (we did just the owl guardian) and have the others despawn. In addition if 2 bards are in the party, you only have to do the battle once.

Any you say? No, at least not for me. I _HAD_ to trade it to the first one on the left, all the others did nothing.

I just did this, it was me and another Bard and i can confirm that if you have multiple bards you only have to fight once.
also you CAN kill just one and still finish it (through the despawn) make sure you carby pull and make sure that you DONT kill the mob till the other two (the guardians) are despawned

Ok... find someone who knows the way because i didnt >.> but uh.... I did it with a 62 THF and 75 WHM .... had spawned it with sneak cast on me. backed away and let the whm/smn pull with carby.... killed it.... other nm's despawned..... checked the thing i traded to and got the cutscene and key item...... you definitely don't need an alliance or anything as long as you have a couple high lvls =o

Completed this with my linkshell and a few others last night. For those that do not feel like reading much, here are a few key points:
- Once you activate the quest with your BRD, you can complete the fight as any other job.
- If multiple people need the item, you only need to defeat the 3 mobs once and have them all click on the Sarcophagus.
- These mobs can be put to sleep with horde lullaby
- It’s best to fight them in the hallway in front of the sarcophagus room. Otherwise the mobs move on top of the sarcophaguses and this forces the melee to move around more than they should have to. Also, there seemed to be a few hit detection problems.
Here was the party setup:
69 PLD
71 BRD
66 WHM me =) Did it for my 51 BRD
53 BLM
48 BLM
67 MNK
61 DRK
51 PLD
52 BRD
68 BLM - I think (was on anon most of the time)
58 WHM
Now granted this wasn’t the optimal party setup, but on our way there, we thought the number of people we gathered was “overkill” for an AF2.
So we made out way to Eldieme, and found the sarcophagus room. There were 4 ghost-type mobs that had to be cleared out of the room first. Easy prey to me (66 WHM) and they went down easily. Our plan was for the 69 PLD to provoke one of the mobs after it spawned, everyone to engage the same one and the 71 BRD would horde lullaby the other two. We rested MP to full and had the 52 BRD trade her Holy Water and spawn the 3 skeletons (we later learned that this was a mistake, and you should have the highest defense person with the quest activated trade the water). It was impossible for the BRD’s song to sleep the mobs quick enough, and one of the mobs obliterated our 52 BRD. From that point forward, the fight wasn’t too bad (other than me pulling hate once because of too much curing and ending with approximately 100 HP before the mob could be slept again). After the fight, we rested to full (approx. 5 minutes) and prepared for another round. When the 71 BRD traded his water he received the ‘Star Ring’, so I traded mine and received the key item as well. This was a bit anticlimactic, but I’ll take it. Woohoo I now have the boots I’ll never wear!
Anyway, after this, we helped once of our members (48 BLM) get his ancient papyrus. While doing this, we noticed that another party of only 4 members had tried to defeat the 3 mobs. After giving Raise IIs to all four, we formed a 3 party alliance pulled the fight to the hallway and helped them complete it. This, of course, was very easy since the other party consisted of all level 60+.
In conclusion, I would say that the fight isn’t too bad but shouldn’t be taken lightly. However, the reward is kind of poor for the effort required.
