One Good Deed?  

72bst/36whm done without taking any damage. Sic'd Carrie on a couple with Stoneskin/Aquaveil up. Halfway through fight had to put stoneskin back up once but it stayed up until the end. Carrie ripped through mobs @ 250dmg each like she usually does ^_^

Did this with my 73 Blu/whm. I set up the 11 point auto refresh (no sea :(, Frightful roar, Cold wave, Self-destruct, and Voracious trunk) /whm for auto refresh and divine seal. Built up TP with the 2 Alraune right by the "???", buffed up with warm-up, refuling, Protect2, Shell, Cocoon and popped them. First Peerifool ate Savage blade > Cannonball = Light and died :D, threw a Sandspin and targeted next one. Idk the accuracy increase in Warm-up or if sandspin really hurt'em but they missed at an astonishing rate, most dmg I took came from the Alraune that repopped >_>. Second Peerifool ate Hysteric Barrage's and dropped, third I saved up TP and Solo'd light again for 925 this time <3, just kept recasting Regen and buffs, and kept Sandspin going when their effects wore. Only had to use Divine seal > Magic fruit once, that was around the fourth one, got me back to full.

So I killed off the Peerifools with 60 Mp left, yellow HP arround 500-600, and still had the two Alraune's that popped on me, which I Sword poked them to death. This quest was fun, I'd like to redo it with someone ;D

ok i have a question, on this quest it says, "Related mobs: tiamat" how is he related to this quest? is that just an error?

Just won with 120 hp left as a 61 drg/war. It's hard. Remember to use Super Jump to shed aggro to your wyvern to take hits from one of them. After you super jump target a different one. I used my offensive type NPC who is lvl 40. Use Skewer, not penta thrust. I had to 2 hr too.

I'm a war level 60. Went out there as war/thf with a single hand axe. Every thing was fine, my bloody bolts kept me alive, until... until I got a link >.< It went bad. I have very high evasion, but that link kept hitting me and hard and I died. If it wasn't for that one mandy link, I woulda beet this. Gunna try again but I'm bringing a friend this time. The whole trick to this is to be at least level 60, have good gear, have eva gear (nothing -eva) and bloody bolts. It also helps to have friends, but in my experience on Ifrit, no one does quests but me :p

I was surfing Alla the other day and realized there were a couple map quests I hadn't done, and I got bored and decided to try this one at two in the morning. Wasn't sure if I could pull it off, but I'm always up for a challenge.

Got to the ???, killed the two Alraune, rested, and buffed up with Stoneskin/Phalanx/Ice Spikes. I used Blink, too, but there's really no point. Anyway, I attempted to Sneak-pull them, but the Peerifool are apparently too smart for that. All six of them jump off the rock and immediately use Dream Flower ( in perfect unison, which was a little creepy ) and I get slept. So, of course, I start freaking out a little. I figure I'll cast Sleepga II as soon as they break through Stoneskin...but they never did. Sleep wore off long before they ever punched through the Stoneskin/Phalanx combo. In fact, the only time it wore off was when the time expired.

These mobs are incredibly weak. They sleep easily- I started using Sleepga instead of Sleepga II in the interest of MP. Even when Stoneskin was down, they were hitting me for 0 with Phalanx up. Eventually, I gave up sleeping them completely, cast Blaze Spikes, and watched them kill themselves by hitting me. I was worried, because I ran out of MP three times during the fight...but these things are so weak I just dropped and healed in front of them. They did get lucky with a few crits, but I only lost about 30HP during the entire fight.

Here's the funny part: killing them this way took 45 minutes. I was hitting them for 35-40HP, even with high staff skill, and they have a lot of HP. By the time I got to the last Peerifool, it was already half-dead from hitting my Blaze Spikes. I'm sure I could have nuked a little to speed things up, but where's the fun in that?

Tips for soloing as 75BLM/37RDM:

-Use Phalanx, don't worry too much about Stoneskin.
-Use Blaze Spikes, since they're MNKs they take 36dmg per turn ( if they hit )
-Be prepared for a long fight, don't be afraid to Stoneskin/Rest in front of them.
-Expect the Alraunes to repop and link if you use this strategy. They aren't really a threat either, just keep whacking.
-Sleepga if you need time to recast or if you get low on HP ( not likely XD )

Edit: Just thought I'd add that while this quest in fun, and hilarious, the map seems completely worthless to me. It looks like two splotches with a line running down the middle, which makes it look like some sort of Kindergarten art project to me. At any rate, the quest seems to give decent fame- it bumped me up a level when I completed it.

Took them down easy as a WHM75/BLM37 without needing to cure myself. Here's my strategy:

1) Upon reaching area, I cast Protect4/Shell4, and whacked the two Alraunes in that area to build TP. Killing both got me 300TP.
2) Next, I cast Reraise3 just in case, ate a Tavnazian Taco, then rest up MP to full. TP got down to about 200.
3) I then buffed up with Stoneskin, Blink, Haste, Barsleepra and Blaze Spikes. Once done, I trigger the ???.
4) When all of them popped, they were on the slab of rock. I waited for them to come down before casting Sleepga. I engaged one, Dia it, and hit it with Hexa Strike. They take around 500~ to 700~ damage.
5) Rinse and repeat WS, and when the others wake, just cast Sleepga again. If any buffs wear, cast them back up. Alraunes link, Sleepga them as well.

It was a very simple fight overall and took about 10-15 minutes I think. I didn't have to cure myself or even use regen, and my MP was more than sufficient (Taru WHM, 1161 at max mp.) Prior to that I was panicky about how it would go. But stupid me, I forgot to click on ??? after the fight and now I have to go back to do it again! ><

I just solo'ed the 6 mandies with as BST60. It was very close, I honestly think it's the lowest possible they can be soloed. My hp and that of my funguar jug were below 100 at the end. And I'm galka. Very fun fight though, and it gave me the opportunity to discover a great area. Never been to purgorogo isle before.

This fight was pretty fun.
Actually, I went to Purgonorgo as BLM72 with a MNK75 friend so we both knew it would be a sinch.
I sleepga II the mandies, and he slaughtered through each one. I only nuked twice.
Obviously, at our levels it was pretty easy: a very quick and fun fight,
definitely soloable just a lot more fun with a friend.

Now, I just need to convince him to raise his Windy fame so we can do Opo Opo crown quest together.
Just too boring soloing all those quests. *^^*

that fight sucked. I looked at FFxisomepage and it didn't say there'd be six. So naturally as a 75 SMN I got over confident. Didn't buff. Needless to say I got knocked to about 460 HP (Orange hp) then decided to bust out some Diamond Dust taking 75% of each Mandy. they died shortly after.

was fun.

I was doing this quest last night as 75whm/nin. This was my first time at this island so I walked around for a while to see what it is like, nice place. anyway, I get to the ??? and I clear the 2 mandys in that area. my MP was about 630/800 and full health, so I decided to go ahead and try it. I hit the ???, and message comes up "look out, it's a trap" then the 6 mandy's pop. it was a VERY LONG battle, and I took them down one by one. I had 2 mandy's left and 100 MP plus 2 links >< so I watch my stoneskin and only used Ni, when stone skin dropped. the last mandy took for ever to kill. I killed the last NM mandy (still with the 2 links) and hit the ??? again. Boom CS (lucky) I get out and there are the other 2 mandys there, I hit Ni again and use instant warp. I make it back with like 500 HP, DAMN what a night. ima finish this later on this week

Just finished fight as 59rdm/nin with my buddy npc 43/healer and had a blast. Used normal buffs (skin/phalanx/icespikes/haste/enbliz). Tried to keep blink up as much as pos. Slept a couple mandies, usually just one at a time. Really most useful was phalanx as we were either being missed or being hit for less than 10dmg. Spent a fair amount of time sleeping...lol That turned out ok though as my refresh maintained mp over 300 throughout. Off to the Chasm and then the mountain run.

After killing the Perifool, the next major step is to get the map by entering the Boneyard Gulley. Honestly, the directions in the quest direction were not 100% clear to me, so I worked these up. I hope they help.

0. Enter Attohwa Chasm at F-5 in the Maze of Shakhrami.

MAP: Attohwa Chasm

1. You will enter the Chasm at G-10 (middle). Continue down the tunnel and you'll enter at H-9 (Eastern side).

NOTE: This is a safe area for jobs level 60 and above. Everything should be to weak to be worthwhile.

[li]2. Go to I-8, look for and enter the tunnel. This tunnel takes you to F-7 (Western side).

NOTE: Level 60+ character need to worry about aggro in this area.

[li]3. Travel north to find the tunnel entrance at F-6 and enter it. This will lead you to the Boneyard Bulley, the cutscene, and the map.

Looking back at the these directions and the quest's directions, my problem was all the personal story telling. The extra information was wonderful, but having a distinct list of instructions (in addition to the experience) is what I found most reassuring before starting out.

IBHalliwell - Hoping these directions help you get there safely!

I tried helping my wife with this quest and she couldn't trigger it until she obtained level 5 fame (she's from sandy).

= level 5

Pwnd the mandies as a 70 rng using nothing but O-Bow,Bloody Bolts to 100TP then Darksteel for WS,Sole Sushi,War Brias<blaze spikes are pretty> and Emp pin for extra eva. I always kept my HP up through the fight since they hardly hit me and hit for 7-32 hp on me. The fight was over in 15 even with the Alrune aggro.

Great fight and allot of fun.

Easy though. Went in, killed the links so I start with 300 tp for Spirits Within. I brought up, Refresh, Haste, Enthunder, Shock Spikes and Phalanx and popped the mobs. Brought them into the tunnel and start hacking away at them. Used Spirits Within whenever I had 300 tp. Average hit with Phalanx up was between 1 and 0, so my HP never dropped below 900. I used 1 cure 2 just to have max hp for WS. Good fight and allot of fun. Very easy for anyone post 65 I'm guessing.

My parrying went up like crazy while fighting the mandies.

As said previously, these mandies are a joke. Just soloed them as 67THF without using Utsusemi, and finished the fight with, literally, full HP. They have a decent amount of HP each, but were only hitting me 1/10 and were doing ~9-10dmg per hit. You don't need shadows, you don't need sleep bolts. All you need is some bloody bolts and you're good to go. They drain VERY well (60+ HP usually) so you don't even need to spam the bolts. Come prepared, clear the mandies for TP, and pull the NMs to the tunnel so they don't link when the native mandies respawn.

Just did this as Whm64/Blm32, fully expecting to die
but looking forward to the challenge. Used normal XP gear, with the exception of Battle Staff and Life Belt. Killed the 2 Alraunes nearby for TP more than anything, knowing the length of the fight I knew clearing the area was futile, they respawn too quickly. Ate a Tavnazian Taco, Cast Prot 4, Aquaveil, Haste, Ice Spikes (less DoT than Blaze but added Para) and no Stoneskin (would be a waste of MP, 6 mandies trying to sleep you, one of them is gonna succeed ^^). Popped a yag drink and spawned them. Immediately I pulled them to the lip of the adjoining tunnel, out of link range. Used Earth Crusher for about 450 on all of them (170 staff level). Then sleepga, and concentrated on taking the first down. When the others awoke I immediately used Diaga for DoT. Used Earth Crusher whenever I got about 200 TP. Kept an eye on the Opo nearby, avoiding AoEs until it went away. Divine Seal + Cure III after the first time hitting red, knowing I'd get it back before the fight was over. Weeded them out one by one, using Sleepga whenever I needed to reset haste/spikes. Got down to the last one, was down to 1/3 MP with no refresh left. Used Divine Seal + Cure 3 one last time, then pounded my way to victory. Never got any adds due to my caution. Didn't have to use Benediction. Finished with 400 HP and 48 MP left. Btw I am Taru Whm, I was told I would die horribly during this fight. But again, I like a challenge. One of the most fun fights I've had since avatar solos. ^^

Is there any fame or pre-quest related? I can't take this quest. Please kindly tell me. THanks.

This was a pretty simple fight as 75WHM/blm and really fun. I cleared the two lingering mandys and got my buffs up. I only used Ice Spikes, and Stone Skin along with Pro.4, and Shell4. I popped the mandys and waited for them to come down and used sleepga and just took them down one by one using Hexa Strike for WS. I also did it without any refresh of any sort so this fight is very much possible for WHM solo. :)

I just tried to solo this as 69 BST and got pretty much owned. My jug was doing good damage but the other 7 mandies were still hitting me enough to wear me down. My jug took 2 out while i was kiting them around but there wasn't much I could do in the end. Maybe if you went BST/NIN with lots of evasion gear, but I'm not going to buy all that stuff for a map quest lol. Bring a friend who can sleepga.

Related mobs: Tiamat

@_@;;

My observations on the 6 mandagora fight:

they will gradually start resisting Lullaby.

I fought them as 75 BRD, 1st Horde Lullaby kept them asleep for full duration 30+ seconds, 2nd a little less, 3rd a little less... and sooner than I expected they started to wake up immediately after Lullaby.

In the end, it didn't really matter, they couldn't hurt me, and if I did get hit, Paeon V + IV with the +1 instrument quickly recovered HP to full.

Was a long fight though, used dagger AoE WS many many times, and after the fight my Protect spell wore off, so it had taken nearly 30mins to kill them all.

Nevermind this post, I found out what the problem was. ><

I just got done with this fight and it was INSANE.

lv 62 pld, finished fight with 1hp and 1mp.

Well I popped the mandies and went at it, killed 1, used cure 4, killed 2, cure 4 again. Now im in trouble. I eat a tavnazian taco and go back at it. The mandies do about 3 damage per hit, with the taco they do about 1. Then I got a link, the reg madies hit A LOT harder than the others, so go after them if they link. After about the 3rd one dead I decide to pop an X-potion. Then about 3/4 way through the fight my pro and shell wear off. Down to 2 NMs and get another link. When I was down to my last NM i throw up invincible and berserk and go at it. I finished him off with 1hp remaining.

My suggestion for plds, bring yagudo drinks and eat a taco to start up, the tacos lower their damage to 1 instead of 3. Also bring a potion just in case. It is doable but I was sweating it near the end. Good luck! ^^

Don't Know how a double post happen. Yah for Allakazham servers!
