Battle Notes

In order to enter the battlefield you will need to bring a Sky Orb, which is obtained by trading 30 Beastmen's Seals to Shami in Port Jeuno. When you are ready, trade the Sky Orb to the door of the Ghelsba Outpost hut and choose to enter the battle Petrifying Pair.

Up to 3 people may enter and you will all receive a level 30 restriction. You have 15 minutes to win. In here you only fight 2 lizards: Kilioa & Kalamainu.

  • The lizards will use Secretion at the beginning of the fight.
  • They will then use Baleful Gaze at full TP.
  • The lizards are possibly immune, or at least mostly resistant, to all Sleep - type spells.

Strategies

One of the most common strategies involves a tank, a DD, and a kiter (usually a RDM/BLM). The tank can be either WAR/NIN or PLD/WAR. DD's are usually a WAR/NIN with a Great Axe or a DRG/WHM (for self-curing while the RDM is Gravity-kiting the other lizard). At the start of the fight, buff, eat appropriate foods, rest to RDM's full MP, and then go after the brown lizard (the one on the left) as the RDM starts Gravity kiting the white lizard on the right. Don't forget, tanks, to unlock target and turn your back to the lizards as soon as you see them ready Baleful Gaze, to prevent being petrified. Once the brown lizard is dead, go and kill the white lizard while the RDM rests up and heals.

Man, I broke the record on the Unicorn Server for this fight. 3 SMN, we head in... Shiva pulls one, other SMN Shiva pulls the other, last SMN readies Shiva... we used retreat to bring 'em next to us, close to each others and 2 houred at the same time.. they died instantly.

Hehe this BCNM was a joke for our party. PLD/WAR, WHM/BLM, and SMN/WHM. PLD vokes one, shield bashes the other. WHM (actually any mage with cure II and III will work) heals the PLD. SMN summons Shiva and uses AF. Diamond Dust, then PLD invincibles. SMN ethers and unleashes another DD when ready, and then repeats for a third, and down goes the lizzies. PLD will never lose hate after Invinsible, so WHM can heal with no problems. Actually, my party first did this with a RDM as the healer, then they invited me for another run at it, even though my WHM was underleveled at 25. But a pumpkin pie and Yag Drink was all I needed. Pld used a Yag drink for more cures, adding even more hate to Invincible so that I never took hate and had enough MP to last. First time we did it got lame rewards, but second time we got Dispel :) Good luck to anyone else doing this, should be a cakewalk with the above setup.

In my opinion, two jobs are a must for this: RDM and RNG. We actually did it with my WAR using ranged attack instead of a RNG, and luckily we pulled it off, but with a RNG it would have been easy. Even as a WAR with capped marksmanship, and using bolts (so no +racc from xbow or ammo) I was hitting these about 80% of the time, so RNG should have no trouble.

In case you can't tell, you cannot sleep these lizards. Even sleep bolts didn't work. So don't waste time and MP trying to sleep them.

The strategy is pretty simple: RDM uses Elemental Seal BEFORE engaging the lizards. He then runs up and binds the gray one. His sole purpose at that point is to keep the gray one bound (and of course keep us alive). I would conserve MP strictly for cures and bind/gravity. If bind resists, then you're in a world of hurt. The only other option is to use gravity and have someone kite it (hopefully the RNG is subbing WAR for voke). Once he's bound, the tank and RNG take out the brown one as fast as possible. I actually prefer either a WAR or MNK to tank for the higher damage than a PLD or NIN. Our MNK was the tank and he had +20 evasion from equipment as well as dodge, so it missed him often.

After the brown one is dead, you're home free. RDM keeps bind/gravity on the last one while the tank vokes and kites it around. RNG just picks away at it until it's dead. Prefer status bolts to arrows for this so you can lower defense and drain HP.
Gravity!

Did this four times, won last two.

Elemental Seal + Sleep failed, don't bother. Elemental Seal + Bind, wore off in seconds. Death.

Winning party setup, 2 RDM/BLM (one being me), BLM/WHM. Gravity. One RDM/BLM kited light brown lizard, BLM and I kited the black lizard while nuking. Apple pies for all, 2 Yagudo drinks each, Selbina milk for regen, and we just Blizzard/Aeroga'd them to death, RDMs randomly meleeing.

Just recasted Gravity when it wore off, which seemed like forever, didn't even need Elemental Seal til the end when Gravity began to wear off faster.

I couldn't pull hate off the BLM, so while lizard slowly chased her, I could freely wail away from behind with enblizzard on, maybe taking one hit, which was always a special attack giving me silence for a REALLY short time, not even a concern. Not one member petrified.

We now have the record on Phoenix, 10 minutes and 31 seconds I believe. Our first real BCNM =)

Whole reason of my post though, don't bother with Sleep OR Bind... Use Gravity.

I was the BLM in this one. Bind and sleep were pretty much a waste of mp.

RDM kited the lizards while I nuked one, when the first one went down the 2 rdm whacked at the remaining one while I nuked some more. I used 2 yagudo drinks each time, which kept me with mp until the very end where I had to wait a bit between casts for my mp to refresh.
The record is now 10 minutes 23 seconds on Phoenix, with this method.

We got 2 avatar belts, a shield belt, a staff belt, 2 lizard skins, a magic finale and an absorb-agi scroll.

From what everyone else has posted about this BCNM, it doesn't sound like Dispel drops very often...

I'm a RDM36/WHM18 and would like to attepmt this so i can get the scroll...

there are 2 BCNM's apparently that drop this Spell... would this be the one to do? or should i try the other one. any thoughts?

My Team that we'd have do this one would be a WHM/RDM, PLD/WAR and RDM/WHM(me)

Suggestions?

I did this not long ago with

Pld/War

It went horribly wrong
My suggestion is to use Elemental Seal + BIND As they resisted my Sleep.

Well heres how my story goes, (sad but true).

30MNK/15SAM - Machina (Me)
36THF/18WAR - Nekoiris
35WHM/17BLM - Dae

Asura Server ...

We went in there all prepped and ready to go. Whm casts the buffs and I boost like crazy. Thf gets ready to fire up SA and we go at the left most lizard. All goes well we drop the 1st lizard no problems, so I switch targerts to 2nd Lizard and open up 100 Fists ... then the hate turns from Thf to Whm and he goes down ... Im still beating on it with 100 Fists so Im not to worried and then the little SOB petrifies me and beats the Thf down and then finishs me off after that. We were so close, so we're going to do it again tomorrow with the same setup and a few tricks up our sleeve. Wish us luck!!

I did this BCNM today and got killed the first time we went in War/Nin, Rng/War, Blm/Whm. We decided to try it again but this time with a Whm/Blm. I kill it and got some crapy drops. But atleast we beat it. We broke the record on midgarsomr. i killed it in 5 mins and something.

So yeah, I tried this last night, I can guess they have around 1000 HP each about. Don't quote me though heh.
I tried with RNG/NIN, PLD/WAR (Me) and RDM/SMN, plan was RDM would bind the white one and the RNG would go crazy on the brown one. Ranger Barraged and Eagle Eye Shot the first one, it did about 750 dmg and dropped it to about 1/3 HP. I invincibled at that point, RNG and RDM nuked it to death.

Bind hadn't broken so the RNG began to shoot it, got hate and petrified. I voked, and we fought until rng was unpetrified. We continued to fight until it got down to about 1/8 HP. I died from poison (Plaguebreath), RNG Piercing Arrows drops it to a tiny sliver of HP, RDM is too busy trying to bind, RNG dies, RDM sits there and dies too. Sooo close...
my try

I did this just the other day on ragnarok. We had a RNG/NIN BLM/RDM (me) and RDM/BLM. It worked very well. We went in buffed up and then RDM and I both bound a lizard. I got brown he got grey.

Then RNG used barrage and hit the brown one with it. I chain casted nukes on the brown one while the RNG shot arrows as fast as he could. We killed the first one with just one bind while the RDM used bind and gravity on the other one. After the first one was dead I had about 20 mp so I let the RDM bind the grey one while the RNG kept shooting away.

Next the RNG got petrified. At this point I had maybe 30 mp so I stood up and bound the lizzy again while the RDM cured the RNG. After petrify wore off we alternated bind and after every one I cast I rested until the RDM had to cast his bind.

Eventually the RNG finished off the grey one and we got crappy drops but a new server record of 6 something mins. This post is to show that you dont need a tank at all for this BCNM if you have two people with bind and a RNG you should do well.

Another note you can't sleep these guys.

Battle Plan
# Nov 03 2004 at 12:33 AM Rating: Decent
Me (BLM) and my friend (SMN) hoping to do this BCNM soon with a LS friend (PLD), and i was just wondering if our battle plan will work.

1. SMN summon Shiva Diamond Dust (DD) #1.

2. PLD vokes one, and i EM sleep one and cure if needed.

3. SMN uses Ether then re-summon Shiva DD #2.

4. PLD uses Invincible (pulls hate of both), and again, cure if needed.

5. SMN uses Ether then re-summon Shiva DD #3.

6. By this time both lizards should be pretty low, PLD vokes one. SMN uses Ether then acts as Healer. I nuke with Waterga, and use Manafont or Ether if necessary.

I am pretty sure this will work but i need some reassurance, or recommendations.
Failed attempt
# Oct 28 2004 at 8:59 PM Rating: Decent
Me and some LS mates attempted this BCNM the other day.

The setup pld/war rng/war brd/whm (me)

As you all can probably guess the plan was to sleep one of the lizs (preferably brown one) and have pld and rng take the other out. We had two goes at it.... and failed both times. first attempt pld immediatly aggroed the lizs because of some miscommunication, so I tried to lullaby one, needless to say it resisted. At which point I tried horde lullaby... which it also resisted mean while pld is getting pounded hard but still holding and the brown one is rather peeved at me. I used soul voice hoping to land a sleep but died before song could be sung.

The second run was basically more of the same, the only major difference was I used enchanting etude before lullaby hoping the extra chr would be enough. I believed we could have done it if the sleeps would have worked. Not sure why they arent sticking ( I have Mary's horn, and CHR+7) I dunno maybe I need more chr+ equip or maybe these bad boys just cant be slept. Looking at the ealier posts its clear bind can work wonders on these guys, not sure why my poor bardly skills were so lacking.

Did this one today and won ^^

Party setup was PLD/WAR, WHM/BLM, SMN/WHM (me)

Heres how it went. Went in, did aerial armor, protect/shell buffs ate fish mithkabob then rested to full. PLD went in to get aggro from both lizards and engaged the grey lizard. Once both lizards aggro'd him, I summoned Shiva, Astral Flow then Diamond Dust which gave PLD breathing room in tanking. That hit Kalamainu for 536 and Kilioa for 488. Shiva died and WHM kept PLD alive spaming cure 2 (surprisingly the PLD kept hate well) I used Hi Ether and Yagudo right away. Both lizards were 2/3 health.

PLD used Hi potion then blinding potion cuz Baleful Gaze was coming up. Baleful Gaze went off and PLD was not effected. WHM gave divine seal + Cure 2 to the PLD. Kalamainu aggro'd the WHM for that thus separating the lizards, but the WHM knew that Diamond Dust was coming again so she went to the other lizard to put them together for Diamond Dust #2 that hit both lizards for 488. Lizards were now like 1/8 health ^^

PLD blind wore off so he got petrified on the next Baleful Gaze then aggro'd the WHM cuz she was curing the PLD. Stoneskin gave way then all 3 shadows were used. I was in the middle of casting for Shiva to at least remove one aggro from her, but she fell and deleveled.

PLD petrify wore off and voked one of the lizards as my 3 shadows were lost to the other lizard. Diamond Dust #3 went off, hit for 488 and 536. Both lizards dead. I didn't see them fall cuz I was staring at my health that showed 32 hit points so I used a Hi Potion and looked up to see that I didn't have to use it >.<

Record broken on Bismarck: 5 min 2 seconds

We got:
1k gil each
2 lizards skins
Pick Belt
Dagger Belt
Magic Finale

Luckily when we were released from the battlefield, our WHM got a raise and actually got her level back. She was actually 32 xp into level 40 after she was raised so that meant that the 10% xp she got back put her over to still be level 40 ^^

We are going to do it again in hopes for the Avatar Belt, Scroll of Dispel and Sarashi.

We used many items, but we did it and had fun.

My LS's first BCNM :P

Well first off this is my first post ever so i hope i do it right :P

My LS is a very small LS on Garuda server, we ve been talking about doing some BCNMs lately, the problem was though we didn't think we had the right classes for the fights, so we were hesitant about giving it a shot, finally last night we said "***** it" lets go for it. so we all checked out this site and read many of the posts on This BCNM all of them saying to do it with different class combos then what we had and alot of the posts seemed to end in failure ; ; but despite that we were gonna go ahead with it anyway.

Our Setup:

Whm/Blm Tarutaru( Me, Weltall)
Mnk/War Elvaan (Sliver)
Rdm/Blm Hume (Reginold)

After waiting around for a bit chatting about what to get in preparation (and for the monk to get his 2 hour back :P) we met up in Sandy and bought our supplies, We decided the Strategy hinged upon two things: the bind spells sticking and holding the left lizard, and secondly the Monk being able to hold the hate. This was also our first BCNM so we may have over prepared abit but i'm glad we did just for a sense of security.

Monk: Chief Kabobs 1-2 hi potions
Rdm Melon Pie, 2hipotions 1hiether and yag drink
Whm Witch Kabob, yag drink, 1 hiether, 1 hipotion

When we entered the Battle field Whm cast: Protectra II, Sheltra, blink, aquaviel, stoneskin, the rdm put on blink and aquaviel, everyone ate their food and Whm rested, while the monk boosted continuously.

The Rdm triggered off the battle with an Elemental Seal + Bind on the left lizard that stuck for like 5 seconds ; ; followed by a gravity spell, The monk charged the lizard on the right, berserk and boost, then unloaded on him with hundred fists. when i (Whm) noticed the left lizard was running around blasting the mages, i kept my head and i used my own Elemental Seal + Bind which stuck for the duration of the fight with the first lizard. I then quickly cast Barstonra after i was sure the left lizard was bound. Then after that we begen to lay the beatdown on the first lizard, the monk NEVER lost the hate from that point on, the Rdm started Nuking the crap out of him as i started in with the Whm enfeebles. I cast regen on the monk and started a steady flow of Cure IIs on him. So the First lizard (the one on the right Kam something) falls. the monk turns around and begins to pummel the next one hundred fists is still going strong, the rdm was getting a little low on mp, but i was still going good on mp i hadn't even used my yag drink yet, the rdm ended up going down into the single digits of mp, i told him to rest but he just drank his Hi Ether, and starts nailing him with blizzard. I used my yag drink at about 70 MP (way too late on my part) and then the monk gets petrified, and i m like omg! then rdm just fires another blizzard at him and down goes the lizard, we cheer, and grab the chest. We made out big, We got the Cestus Belt 10k, Scroll of Absorb-Int 1.5k, and the Avatar's Belt 500k, in addition to lizard skin and 1k in gil each.
Truth be told i think our setup ruled, the monk completely owned the Lizards with hundred fists i think we may have even been able to do without it from how well we turned out in the end, we all still had our potions left (except for the Rdm's hi ether)and we beat it in 7min 4 sec (and thats including us ******** around in the begining and in the end before grabbing the chest) The monk never lost the hate while still being able to kill the lizard quickly which is exactly what we wanted, the rdm although his bind didn't stick long was invaluable with his gravity and nukes,I would honestly be hesitent about attempting this BCNM with a PLD instead of a monk lol. at anyrate we had alot of fun with this BCNM, we made some pretty good gil, and was just overall a good experience. I'm posting this because all the other posts on this BCNM helped me out immensly while planning it out for my LS and i hope that this may help someone else in beating the tar out of these lizards! As a side note: Monks are the most underated Class in the game! they rule if they are well equipped, so invite them!

while I was waiting to do Wings Of Fury (which I died on) I saw 2 WAR/NINs and a BLM/WHM trying to do this ok first they cast buffs and run 1 WAR takes the grey one and starts runing around the field with it trying to get BLM to stick bind while other WAR attacks Brown and uses Might Strikes eventually while BLM nuked it they got it down to about 1/10 hp and it cured and then WAR who has uses might strikes was cut down when he got both aggros then BLM suddenly drops from Plague breath and there's this 1 WAR/NIN standing there just waiting to die and I felt really sorry but it was a kinda funny show

Well. heres my story of failure,

after about 2 hours of searching for a party in jeuno, i finally put together a party

36RDM/BLM (me)
30PLD/WAR - whats-her-name (dont remember ><)
30RNG/11NIN - Fighterdoken

we get too the hut. we enter the fight
(lol. toadal recall.. i love that name. i wish i entered that one)

we buff up, i Elem-seal Bind the one, PLD vokes other, i heal a bit, bind wears, rng and pld attack. i wander around binding and running, heal in between. stupid mp runs out (had yagudo drink and stuff)

I tried too enfeeble! but the stupid guy didnt give me any time!

we got the one down too 1/3 when the other one finally kills me. (delevel!! :'()

then the ranger (also delevel) and finally the pld.

poor people.

so whatever you do
no RDM/BLM + PLD/WAR + Taru RNG/11NIN

it was disheartening! i cant pay for dispel, i make like 4k at the most per 2 days. . . anyone courteous on valefor? ill be a slave O_o

How I Did It

32 posts
I went as a 30pld/war 28smn/14rdm and 30rng/thf all hume

The summoner had no gear whatsoever, and I(pld) had +8vit 230def(with boiled crab) 129attack.

What we did was, when we got in, we protected shelled and used food/drink.(rng used reraise scroll just in case)
Paladin moves over to the right side with the grey lizard, uses sentitle(sp) and the smn brings out shiva. Paladin attacks grey lizard and gets aggro by everything BUT 2hour.
Ranger then comes in and 2hour barrage and all other damage attacks on the grey lizard as the summoner 2 hours as many times as possiable. Once either the summoner or ranger has aggro, the paladin uses invincible to regain hate.
Everyone focuses on the grey lizard until it's dead, then go after the brown one. We chose this because the brown attacks MUCH slower than it's partner, and cures can be casted. Ranger and paladin was petrafied at this point.
Shiva does tanking until either member recovers. Very quickly it falls down.

All we recieved was:
1 Lizard Skin
1 Dagger Belt
1 Pick Belt
1 Absorb-Vit scroll
1k Gil

Total of 25k on Asura.
Completed in 5minutes 37seconds. New record because no one else has done it!
