OK, Here's my quick guide for 2-5 until the other guide is posted.

Riverne Site - #A01 is a beautiful zone that is capped at 40.

Wyvern: mini Typhoon Wyvern and have the same abilities, and aggro Truesight

Gryphons [Hippogryph, Cloud Hippogryph ect]: have a dispelga, can hit with additional effect: Gravity, and have a conical damage attack. They are Truesight but are very nearsighted, and have a short aggro range, But they turn quickly.

Clusters: Sight and Magic aggro, and can explode and still fight.

To get to Monarch Lynn you want to follow every right path and take the first Distortions that you find on the way until you come to the area that has Clusters. At this area you want to take your SECOND right. If you come across a distortion that seems too small you will need a wyvern scale [Giant Scale, dropped off any local Wyvern, Rare] You will need 2 of these to get to Monarch Lynn. The last mob you face are Cloud Hippogryph, which drop Hippogryph Tail Feathers, that stack to 12 but don't seem to be auctionable. /shrug


OK, Once you hit Monarch Lynn you see an excellent cutscene, I won't give spoilers but Wow! You have to fight 3 Faceless named Mammet-19. The Faceless can change jobs but start out having no class [harr harr] I've seen them as:
WAR [with sword, Bad war!]
BLM [with staff, Very dangerous, uses Blizzaga]
DRG [with lance, very accurate, but not as hard-hitting]
DRK [big, slow, hits hard]
No Class [uses a hand-ray, very weak, keep them here if possible]

The Faceless Use:
A bad AoE damage ability.
Transmogrification: For about 30 seconds they absorb all physical damage, Unlock and turn around.
Magic Shield: For about 30 seconds they absorb all magic damage. No nuke please.
Weapon swap: not an ability per se, but they change jobs, Just watch the weapon.


You can use Yellow Liquid to freeze them in one Job for for about 60 seconds. hmmm, Liquid that is used on Mammets? Mammory liquid? Anywho, I digress.

The way my team won was with 2SMN.WHM WAR/NIN RNG/NIN RDM/BLM and WHM/BLM

the 2 SMN carby-kited the two outside Faceless, keeping them occupied. a NIN or THF/NIN can do the same thing here. Make sure that the SMN DON'T USE YELLOW FLUID, It will draw hate off their summon, and slaughter them. The other 4 of us attacked the last mammet. Plan on a Long Fight. and take your time. We won without using any 2hr abilities. a RDM is good for this because they can Convert to fill their MP pool and heal while the WHM rests. Also when they switch to BLM you can silence. The only enfeebles I managed to stick on them were:
Bind [RNG blessed me for this at one point]
Silence
Gravity
Dia2 [I can confirm that this did stick because I got the message that it wore off mid-fight]
Everything else was repeatedly resisted, even on elemental seal.

After the first one was down we took on one of the SMN's while the other continued to kite [have yag-drinks if you don't have Carby Mitts]

After defeating these you find yourself landing in a barren wasteland [also known as South Gustaberg] and Prishne runs off to find Cid, [cutscene in the airship dock]


Well, if some op wants me to re-write this as an official document, send me a MSG, I can fix it up with exact locations and make it official-looking.

Anyways, Rate as you find it useful, and if you're on Unicorn, send me a /tell if you need help, I'll do it again just to have more people to help on the next mission =^.^=

HOLY HELL! Riverne A01 is freaking INSANE! The BCNM for this is damn near impossible. SE needs to nerf this one a bit. Went with alliance. Parties tried to win for 4 hours. Last one did. I was not in it. Wasted almost 6 hours of my life in total. I am sick of spending tens of thousands of gil for these missions and no rewards at all. Story is great... how about a little gil SE? 20k in potions down the toilet. The only way I see to win this is by sheer luck. Freaking BS. I am not happy.
