this was our setup and how it went
RDM/WHM <--- me
PLD/WAR
WAR/NIN
We had the paladin attack pull Shredded Sampson and use holy circle then either me or the pld hit it with banish to weaken it. Then they both start working it down while I provided healing and buff spells (silence refused to stick), if it started to use ancient magic I ran in and used the appropriate bar spell just in case the spell went off. Cursna can also make or break this fight since it will probably use bane at least once. I was over in under 9 minutes doing it this way.

Battle NotesIn order to enter the battlefield you will need to bring a Moon Orb, which is obtained by trading 60 Beastmen's Seals to Shami at (H-8) in Port Jeuno. When you are ready, trade the Moon Orb to the Burning Circle inside Qu'Bia Arena and choose to enter the battle Celery. Up to 3 people may enter and you will all receive a level 60 restriction. You have 15 minutes to win. You will fight four NM ghosts: StrategiesThey correspond to four cardinal damage weaknesses: Slice (Scythe, Greataxe, etc.), Piercing (Arrow, Dagger, Lance), Blunt (Staff, Clugel, Hand to Hand), and Magic. Knowing this trick, it's not a hard fight unless your WHM gets baned, in which case more than likely you're headed for a dive. Bane, for those of you who don't know, is like Curse 2. The NMs will use Bane instead of Curse like ghost types usually do. Note that bane has a wide radius is AOE, and cuts your max hp/mp in half. If you don't stay on the very edge of casting range you will be hit. Also, if it starts casting ancient magic, just run, don't bother trying to stun, we didn't land a single one.

Just got done 3 runs on this BCNM. 2x MNK and a PLD. We lost our first run, only because we didn't notice a Stonega III and failed to stun it. The other 2 we completely annihilated Mauled Murdoc. About 2 minutes for the battle, 5 minutes to pre-buff(PLD Cast Pro/Shell 3 on all of us and had to rest for MP each time).
I did this with:
Pld/War <--- Me
Drg/Rdm
Drg/Blu
@#%^ you all. Dragoon is the ownage.

I just did this one 3 times, 3/3 with 3 bsts. VERY simple with bsts, its probably impossible to lose. you can literally win naked. Just wait 2 min for fanguar timer. Elusive earring dropped, it makes me jealous looking at the posts above where elusive is like.. 6 mil. Its only 400k on alexander :(

These ghosts have a very nasty trick.
Me (PLD), a DRK, and a RDM just did this bcnm last night. 3 orbs, 3 wins. It was mostly a rousing success, except for something very unusual that happened.
About halfway through the second run, all of a sudden Shredded Sampson turned to the drk and would not budge, no matter what I did to try to regain hate. It took at least 5 provokes and 5 flashes (not to mention an invincible that might have been Paralyzed, I'm not sure, because the animation went off and the recast timer started but nothing else happened), a Vorpal Blade or 2, and having the drk turn his back on the mob, before I finally got hate back. The drk swears up and down that he did absolutely nothing to warrant this, mostly because I had told him before the fight to watch his hate output.
I remember the last time I did this BCNM was with a drg, and the same thing happened that time. Unfortunately, we were not so lucky on that occaison: the drg died and the fight was lost.
The third time through with the drk, we expected this to happen, so the drk immediately turned around when Sampson took an interest in him, and I regained hate easier that time.
We decided that only one thing could explain this.
Remember anticans?
Their sand trap move will make a fool of any tank, because it stuns the pt and also resets the hate of the entire pt. Of course, the mages are out of stun range, so there's always one casting and he always gets hate immediately.
We figured that these ghosts have a similar move, only more insidious. We figured that the ghost will randomly reset the hate of the person who currently has hate, but not the rest of the group. In other words, all the hate that the tank has carefully built up is suddenly gone, and of course, the DD in the party has built up a pretty large hate pool of his own that remains unaffected... which could easily mean a dead DD if you're not careful.
So be aware that this can happen, and has happened to me a total of 3 times now. It can easily mean a botched run if things get out of control.

Hey guys, im a mnk60 looking to make some money. I was wondering if this BCNM is at all doable for me.
I mean people have told me i could, but i have looked thru entire list and have not seen ONE post of someone with a mnk in their pt.
If you know please let me know, and tell me which one to fight and explain to me this fight. I am still a little confused, there are 4 NMs but you only fight one that you choose? Please reply and let me know ^^

Did this one about 3 weeks ago. Here is the story.
Party was pld/war (me) sam/thf and whm/blm. Did the usual, buff, meditate, foods, etc. We weren't trying to break the record, just win the fight. Picked Shredded Sampson, and I moved in behind him. Our Sam did Meditate a 2nd time, then SATA right off the bat. I did my usual tank thing (provoke, sentinel, flash, defender, etc) White mage kept us well healed throughout the fight. When the ghost tried to use Burst, I hit him with Shield Bash and Flat Blade, which I had been saving just for this. Interrupted him with no problem. Got hit with Bane once, but everyone had brought Holy Water, and we were back up quickly. Sammy died with no probs, 3/3 that night. (Only lost hate once to our sam, and I took care of that with Cover) Got decent drops, including Elusive Earring for our Samurai, Mea ring, and about 2 mil worth of other items. Our whm (Zev) acted as quartermaster, and we split the profits evenly. (Our Samurai even gave us both 400k to offset his keeping the Earring, thanks Azimov)
Next time, I'm going up with my in-game wife, Meowphttphtt, as drk/thf and our best friend, Fireman, as rdm/blm. This guy is a snap! If you have the seals and a good tank, there's no reason you can't ace this BCNM.

EDIT:
This was even easier with drk/thf and rdm/blm! Same style, picked Shredded Sampson again, drk (Meow) did SATA on me to open, rdm (Fire) kept me refreshed and hasted. Got a little hairy at times when I had paralyze on me and provoke wouldn't fire off. But that could have been taken care of with a rdm/whm. Anyhow, every time the drk's TP was 100% with mine, she'd get behind me, Trick Attack off of me with Guillotine, then I'd follow with Vorpal Blade for a ton of damage, plus Impaction, I believe. An added bonus to a drk is Stun to aide me in stopping the Ghost's Ancient magic attacks. And in an emergency, rdm can pop Convert for extra MP and a well timed Chainspell. This has become my favorite setup, and we're now 8/8 with it. Just have to get some more seals now... :)

Never let anyone tell you how to live your life.
This bcnm is a joke lol.
setup bst/whm bst/whm bst/whm
3 bst use fungy jugs on Anthony, stand at the doorway and maybe reward pets one time. No deaths, about 1.8million in drops over 3 runs this morning. If your bst, just wait till 3 minutes pass on your call beast timer, just in case. None of us even had to engage mob pets did all the work, finished each run in about 6 and a half minutes.

I am 12/12 on this. Thought I might as well share my strategy since it hasn't failed yet.
Job setup:
Sam/Thf (preferably) but any slashing type DD with thief sub will do.
Rdm/Whm (preferably) but Whm is fine as well.
Nin/War (preferably) though others have confirmed that Pld will work as well.
Strategy:
Take food before entering. Enter and let Rdm give out all according buffs, sam meditates right away, and nin casts Utsusemi: Ni naturally. Rdm rests and recovers mp while waiting for Sam's meditate timer again. This can take awhile but it is worth it seeing as how you are more likely to win.
When Meditate is almost ready again, line up behind Shredded Sampson. Let Sam SATA ws onto you, go around and meditate again for a quick SA ws from behind. Mage should be close enough to cast cursna but far away enough to be safe from Bane. If you want to be safe I recommend bringing Holy Waters. Other than that, just have Nin keep hate. That seems to be the hardest part of the BCNM since it's very straightforward.
Make sure to line up correctly because Sam missed me completely one of the runs. He died right afterwards but Rdm and I duo'd it for the win. Anyways, good luck and enjoy those elusive earrings.
Edit: Any DD job with thief sub is ok, however, I chose Sam/Thf because of SATA ws at start and because Nin and Sam both have slashing weapons which Shredded Samson is weak to. If DD dies you still have chance to win. Also, don't try to land any spells on it besides Dia. Most likely you're gonna waste MP though Rdm once got paralyze to stick much to my surprise. Ok that's it.

75PLD 73WAR AND 75NIN
Went into this BC the other night. I managed to get a nin and a rdm (me being a warrior) to come along. RDM had orb, nin didn't but since the nin was coming we decided to give him 1/4 of the drops. Anyway, we get there and the rdm goes first. Drops were average, being harp, all 4 cloths, hi pot tank, both abj, and a crummy jewel. My run comes up and we get the same drops. Now at this point I'm loving how easy this BC is. We had holy waters for Bane, nin was doing a great job tanking (I would sometimes yank the NM, Shredded Samson, because my attacks did about 120ish each hit) but all in all did ok.
I ask the rdm and nin if they want to do one more since I have about 250 seals saved up. They say sure so I head to Jeuno. I get my tele Vahzl and start making my way back when I see a Shadow Dragon. Hmm, EP, I'll go ahead and kill it because it's looking at me funny. I get it to 1% and die. HP to Jeuno, get another tele, try and extract my revenge on the dragon but alas, someone has killed it already. Anyway, I head back to Qu'Bia Arena and everyone's excited to do it again. We enter the arena and immediately start ripping up Samson. He tried casting Flood on the nin but a shadow took that spell down. Then he turns to me.
Shredded Samson starts casting Burst on Ziegus.
"Oh Sh*t"
And then I remembered burst takes a crapload of time to cast and luckily my utsu timer was free. I cast, boom, burst is no more. I Rampage one last time and Shredded Samson goes down dropping the 4 cloths, random jewel, both abj, teleport mea ring, and OMG! Elusive Earring! Needless to say we were all screaming in joy. We split the Earring three ways and got about 800k each and I made a bit of profit from everything else. Despite dying to the dragon that night was very fun and enjoyable and I think I found the perfect team if we ever want to do Celery again ^^ I'm also the very proud owner of some Ambrosia now lol. the rdm is 99.1 cooking d^^

also drops Gold Ingot. Still surprised that Silk cloth isn't on the list since 1 Rainbow and 3 Silks are all but guarentee'd drops. Done this 6 times and always drops those 4 cloths in addition to the other misc items. The earring still eludes me though.

this bcnm also drops silk , rainbow cloth and a blue rock
We went in with this setup: PLD/WAR (me), DRG/something (forgot to ask), and RDM/WHM. We went in 5 times, succeeded 4 times. We wiped the first time due to the DRG somehow getting massive hate that I couldn't get back, but the next 4 times went progressively easier, and by the last 2 we had it down to a science.
Apparently the guaranteed drops are 3 silk cloth, 1 rainbow cloth, and an oblation and libation abjuration. By the time we were done we had:
1 elusive earring (6 mil on Fairy ^^)
A stack of silk cloth
4 rainbow cloth
3 teleport-dem rings
1 teleport-mea ring
2 hi-potion tanks
1 mythril ingot
Assorted gems, 3 total I think
4 each of oblation and libation abjurations, which we promptly dropped for inv space, and
My knightly mantle, which was the reason we went in the first place (/hurray!)
We were all good friends, so we assigned someone to sell all the items and then split the money evenly.
Now for strategy: This is a very easy BCNM, but if you go into it expecting to not have to do any work, you'll get wiped. It's not THAT easy.
You should have a tank, a rdm or whm (depending on the tank) and any DD, even a blm. If your tank is a PLD, then a RDM healer would be best, for refresh and the occaisonal convert; otherwise, bring a WHM. Melees bring plenty of holy waters to get rid of Bane, and make sure your healer knows to stay out of AoE range. The healer should also have Paralyna ready at all times, because of Ice Spikes (paralyzation ate my DRG's Call Wyvern once >.<)
This ghost does not hit very hard at all, maybe 40-50 dmg each swing, compared to an exp mob's 70-110. The chief dangers are Bane, Bio, and ancient magic. It's just going to be a long fight, he seems to have a lot of HP.
Anyway, good luck, this is a fun fight.

thats odd about the ghosts being bugged... it seems like annihilated anthony is weak to either blunt or pets, rather than magic... and samson is weak to bows as well as to slashing

This fight is stupidly easy with the right set up.
We went with:
DRK/THF (me)
PLD/WAR
WHM/BLM
Did 4 runs, 2 for me and 2 for the pld. Whm wanted to save their seals for something else. The fights went extrememly smoothly (except the 3rd run)
We fought the one most left, as it is weak against sharp weapons.. Open with SATA onto the PLD, then accumulate tp. When you have like 110% use TA + Guillotine for a nice deal, the PLD can close with Vorpal Blade for a nice SC. But then go behind and use SA.. Souleater is nice to use for the WS, but drop it because the mob uses "Bane" which is a strong Curse move. 1/2HP, 1/2MP and movement speed down. And if you got Souleater up with max 500 life you aren't going to last long. Last Resort is a nice one to use just before WS. Guillotine can deal from 600-1.4k (I did 1.4k with Souleater up)
One of the problems is when you get a ghost that wants to spam ~ga and AMs. With AMs the PLD should run out of range. But this is an opportunity for you to generate a lot of hate, as you can hit for 200+ per swing. Although they don't hit hard, they have all the moves a normal ghost would have, maybe a few more. I don't know.
The PLD went first and got like 500k in drops.
I went second, got earring, around 4mil in drops. (Earring is 3.5mil on Fairy D:)
I went third got Kukri and Mantle.. 1.5milish in drops.
PLD went last and got Mantle.
We did "Your orb, your drop" so I came out with a good 5mil+ in drops^.^; I was happy.
Yeah. Sit back and laugh at how easy this is..
Good luck
We went with:
DRK/THF (me)
PLD/WAR
WHM/BLM
Did 4 runs, 2 for me and 2 for the pld. Whm wanted to save their seals for something else. The fights went extrememly smoothly (except the 3rd run)
We fought the one most left, as it is weak against sharp weapons.. Open with SATA onto the PLD, then accumulate tp.

Has anyone ever tried soloing this fight?
Do you think it would be possible to solo this as a 60Nin/30War? Maybe with another subjob?

If your going as drg then you need to take other people with piercing type weapons or your going to have a realy long fight on your hands. Unfortunately this pretty much limits you to rng as your second DD or another drg. As for your mage they should sub whm or blm for mp, the ghosts have this bad habbit of spamming silence.
I do this with friends all the time, we usually go as:
nin/war (me)
drk/thf
whm/smn or blm
smn is the best sub ive found since aerial armor will the drk if he pulls hate, either way mage needs to stay back.

War/nin
Drg/whm - lost 2hr in about 2 minutes lol
Whm/blm
I brought 4 yagudo drinks and ate sole sushi. Whm I believe had 4 yags and 2 super ethers. Went in, buffed up, everyone put RR on then we picked Shredded Samson. Supposedly Punctured Perry is weak to my lance damage, but from the posts I read here it could turn out to be bad. Plus I had a sword on me incase my damage got gimped against Shredded. I was hitting for mid 70s occassionally 90s with polearm. The fight was pretty straight forward, I kept paralyze off me and war which helped a ton, plus the little bit of healing I could throw at him when needed. Fight took around 12 mins? not sure we were just shocked we even won. The WHM died once when it was around 25% life (healed too fast) and then the WAR died at the very end literally one hit from death. All in all was a great fight, well worth the seals and easy to find the jobs for it. Our drops only totalled 890k tho :/ . Can't beat free money though. Good luck to any who do it, I would suggest sticking to Shredded if your anything but blunt.

I'm about to do this BCNM, but I was wondering, for all you who have done this, if a setup of MNK, RDM, NIN would be a good idea? I see a problem in this setup in that only I (the MNK) will have the DMG bonus and not the NIN, as we're fighting with different types of weapons. Any comments or tips before I go would be appreciated, just so I don't go foolishly waste my seals, lol.

It's not listed in the quest info, but the Walkure mask drops as well. We got it on the last run for a sweet 450k bonus ^^
49 posts
Did this three times today, with the same setup as listed below, DRK/THF (me), RDM/WHM, PLD/WAR.
The RDM was a Galka, so he WAS running low on MP near the end, but the battle was still quite easy. Things of note:
Yeah, some people are reporting Stun can land...I was 0/11 in the three battles. If it starts casting AM, just run. Melee, be sure to check if he's casting on YOU, in which case, you'll need to jet out of there, not the tank.
Slashing melee, PLEASE sub THF. You WILL get hate from the tank if you can't TA some onto him or her...I basically just TA Guillotined onto the tank for 600-900 dmg, then came around and used SA for a 300-400 dmg hit. The ONE time I used SATA Guillotined alone, I stole hate and had it for the rest of the friggin' battle.
Sleepga II is nothing to worry about, and bring Holy Waters. Try to keep the mage out of range.
Nothing too much more of note...play competantly and you'll do fine. In three runs we got 2 Elusive Earrings and 2 Trailer's Kukris...since the RNG nerf Kukri's have plummeted to below 300k, but the Earrings are up to 1.4-1.5 million in Ifrit, so that's one hell of a profit I made today...around 1.3 million for me alone.
What a GREAT BCNM.

Honestly, this BCNM is a joke as long as you attack the right one with the right setup.
Party: PLD/WAR, DRK/THF, RDM/WHM
We entered the BCNM and buffed up a bit, had Holy Water ready in case of Bane. At the start of the fight, the DRK SATAed onto me, and we commenced killing Shredded Samson. We pulled the ghost to the edge of the room, which seemed to allow the RDM to avoid Bane, which it casted during both fights. We had no trouble at all killing it, as we were hitting for 90ish with swords, 200+ with scythes. After a few minutes of attacking, he went down. Got the earring and mask on the fight try, with around 200k in assorted other drops. Never came close to death, never even ran into low mp as the ghost was only hitting for around 50. Just be sure to have the right party ready for the fight and you'll laugh at how easy this is.
Total clear time: Around 6 minutes, 30 seconds. (Record on Alexander right now.)
Total drop price from 1 kill: Around 1.6 million.
Good luck everyone. ^^

WAR/NIN WAR/NIN WHM/BLM
The WHM was a friend of the other WAR/NIN, so he dident trade an orb.
First run: We lost, by about 50HP.. :'(
Second run (My orb): Decided to play it safe, both me and the other WAR 2h'd when we had TP, stacked with mighty strikes and Berserk (aggressor was taken by Paralasis) Rampage hit for 1924 o.o (hehe my record)
Drops:
Teleport Ring: Dem
Elusive Earring
Libation Abjuration
Oblation Abjuration
Rainbow cloth
Ebony Log
Silk Cloth (x3)
WHM took one of the abjurations for his cursed soup, and I had the other WAR lot on the Silk cloth so she wasent completely empty handed.
1.9m here on asura. Easy fight too :).
Note:
Take something to remedy paralasis (from Ice spikes), and a stack of holy water. First time a big part of why we lost is because he started casting Quake on me, and I couldent get shadows back up.

Did this tonight with this setup Nin/war Thf/nin and Rdm/whm, and we fought Shredded Samson. Everything went smoothly except for 1st run which I (thf) got baned then a -ga spell finished me off, no big deal had reraise hairpin and got back up and finished him off (only loosing 400 xp) My advise to any thf's out there that want to do this (since its one of the only BCNM we can do) is to go with the weapon setup I had. Main weapon Hornet Needle Secondary weapon was Muskateer Commanders Falcion. The falcion was doing criticals for 136 damage I couldn't believe it, that with the hornetneedle boost in attack speed we were able to win this fight without a sweat. Well hope that helps~ and let the thf open the chest we seemed to get more stuff that way.

Did this over the weekend. Me and a pld friend organized a one-orb run with his rdm friend, so we were drk/thf war and rdm. We've done this once before only I went drk/war and pulled hate too soon.
This time, I went /thf. It took a little longer than normal for me to pull hate, but I ended up with it anyway. The odd thing is, invinceable wouldn't turn him off me! Pld had to cover me through invince! How weird... anyone else notice this?
At any rate, we won, no deaths. Got elusive earring worth 800k, nursemaid's harp, couple of abjurations, three silk cloths, and a rainbow cloth.

WoW! Se really screwd this one up. Its just way to ez. Me (thf/nin), Deejayz (nin/war) and Hador (rdm/whm) went in and too on shredded samson.
1st run: I uses an icarus ring courtesy of Deejayz. And we started out with a SATA+ Dancing Edge. None of the ghosts aggro so just have ure nin go stand at his back. Finished the rest of his hp multiple skillchains of Blade-Chi>>> TA+dancing Edge. He was dead in no time.
Drops: Elusive Earring, Nursemaid's Harp, 3 silk cloth, 1 rainbow cloth, the aburations, and zircon i believe. (1.2mil in Caitsith... not bad not bad... lol)
2cd run: This one didnt go to well. He decided to Bane right at the start and then stonega III for 550 dmg (1 hit killed me ) Amazingly the nin and rdm were able to kill him even though i was dead the whole fight. Good thing we had rdm instead of whm for convert and such.
Drops: Trailers kukri, Knightly mantle, same cloths , same aburations and some gem. (about 700k on caitsith)
3rd run: Tottally normal run.. I learned to run away any time he started casting an aga spell. Killled him with ease.
Drops: (waste of freaking 60 seals) Nursmaids Harp, same cloths, zircon, same abjurations. (150k) BAH!

We went in with 2 monks and a blm, figured on pulling mauled murdock and making some quick cash on 1 run.
we hit for 20 damage a hit on the ghost "weak" to blunt. We got it to half health before we figured out we were going to get rocked, so we escaped.

Hello, I'm a 56NIN/WAR, and I've been saving up seals to get ready to do this BCNM for the elusive earring. I know that if you engage one ghost, the other 3 disappear. If that is the case, if say me, and a THF/ or /THF use silent oils (or have the mage sneak us... w/e.) and run behind the ghost of our choice for SATA (which is probably Sampson due to popular demand) will the ghosts aggro? This would give me an edge for holding hate, just wanted to know in advance, thank you...

we chose Shredded Samson the rdm and whm stood at the edge and healed/refreshed the nin. Nin just beat the crap outta it. By the way, enfeebling are hard as hell to land on this guy. The only ones the rdm could land was shock, choke, and burn. As well as dia and bio.

Did 3 runs last night.
Setup was
RNG/NIN (me)
PLD/WAR
WHM/SMN
Basic plan was for PLD to run away in case of AM or big element-ga2 cast (worked flawlessly), use holy waters on bane (almost worked flawlessly), and have WHM stay out of range of sleepga (worked flawlessly). I would shoot and PLD would keep hate as best as he could. We pulled Samson each time. My damage as Hume RNG with musk+1 and rice dumplings was quite acceptable (130ish DPS and 700-800+ slug shots.)
1st run (my orb)
As it turned out, neither the WHM nor the PLD thought to bring juices. Which made things a little dicey when they both ran out of MP, lol. However, Invincible got us through one tough spot and then I finished off Samson with barrage, eagle eye, and slug shot.
Drops:
hi-ether tank
dem ring
gold ingot
rainbow cloth
3x silk cloth
abjuations
About 200K worth altogether (on Siren.) No big ticket drops.
2nd orb (PLD)
We went back to Jeuno and got some yagudo drinks. The second run was going smoothly, we had Samson down to about 35% HP, until the following happened:
(1) my slug shot drew aggro
(2) samson baned
(3) samson double attacked a couple times ripping through utsusemi and preventing me from getting it back up
(4) samson ko'd me
In retrospect once he baned and came after me I should have shadowbound him and run away or called for cover. I wanted to save cover for a slug>barrage>slug late in the fight but that obviously was a mistake. Die and learn.
The PLD died a bit later with Samson at about 10% health. Fortunately the WHM ran out of there and was able to Raise 2 us.
3rd orb (whm)
Basically we had no problems this time.
Drops:
dem ring
hi-potion tank
rainbow cloth
item I don't remember that was worth about 5K
3x silk cloth
abjurations
Total value about 175K on siren. Again, so-so drops.
So overall, have a contingency plan in place in case the tank loses hate and the ghost banes at the same time. And make sure spellcasters bring drinks. Otherwise this BCNM is eminently doable, and even without the big ticket drops the gil isn't awful. (I've gotten 50K on BCNM40 orbs a few times.)

Tried this BCNM today. went as 3 bst/whm.
We entered, used call beast, then buffed up and rested to 100%
all 3 of us used carrie pets, soon as we were ready i went in and pulled shredded sampson since thats what posts seemed to recomend.
in short, we were wiped all over the floor. carrie was hitting for 7 dmg! we saw that pets were hitting low so joined in insted of waiting to call new pets, and we were hitting for 70+.
why are pets hitting so low? special attacks were hitting for 400+ damage, rest was awefull. I sent carrie away and called a saber pet, and he was hitting for a massive 9... should we be pulling a different ghost?
any input would be nice, thanks in advance.

This game is supposed to be fun, if it isn't fun for you anymore, please dont ruin it for the rest of us.
Every post I've seen about doing this with a BST pt says to use Carries against Annihilated Anthony, they do far more damage to him than the other ghosts.
Yeah, it doesn't really make sense, but there you go.

Yep, against Anthony it's the reverse; FunguarFamiliar hits for 90-110, axes hit for ~5.

I was Dumb.
I did not head the warnings of others.
I was owned by Punctured Percy.
Thief Weapon: Dagger = Piercing Damage.
Damage Inflicted 1 Damage per hit, 2's occasionally. And Critical Hits Ranging in the High 4's... Magic and Crossbows did close to jack sh*t too. Asside from testing a Spear, nothing piercing damage effects Punctured Percy.
I believe that particular ghost has a bug, the others I hear are weak to thier respective titles.
We Did Shedded Sampson and Succeeded the following Two times.

Did this last night witht he following setup: 60 RNG/NIN (me), 61 NIN/WAR, and 65 RDM/WHM. Great setup, RDM of course never ran out of mp, and the NIN could blink away sleepga, and ancient magic. We went after Samson (weak to melee attacks). The RDM could only land 1 enfeeble (Paralyze) out of the about 50 attempts in the 3 attempts we did. As far as me, all I did was keep pounding away on Samson and SC'd with the NIN (Jin>>>SW). My SW was doing about 800 per, caused a lot of hate. I only did SW twice per battle; 1 about 1/2 life and the other to kill it. When Samson has a sliver of life left hes loves to use Bane (Curse) and Sleepga; vice his regular attacks. We won all 3 attempts with 0 deaths, drops were:
Elusive Earring x2
Walkyrie Mask x2
Hi-potion Tank x1
Silk Cloth x9
Rainbow Cloth x3
Teleport-Dem Ring x1
Stones x3
and some other misc junk.
Big prize was the Elusive Earring, sold both for 795k and 800k. WOOT Masks go for 300k. All in all very easy BCNM. Actually easiest BCNM I ever did. If you have any questions, send me a /tell or PM me here. Good Luck^^
Oh yea one more thing....if you bring a RDM, it would be wise to sub WHM for Paralyna. Samson's Ice Spikes will Paralyze the melee and they can not be dispelled.

Ignore the other ghosts and go for Shredded Samson. Even RNGs. Samson is weak to sword, katana, axe, great axe, great katana, great sword, and scythe; if you pick any other ghost it's almost a guaranteed loss.
A BLM can main heal in this BCNM, just make sure to not get baned.

Finished 3 runs last night with the following setup : DRK/WAR PLD/WAR RDM/BLM.
We found it to be a very easy and fast BCNM, with our battle averaging 4.5 min.
Only thing that is "threatening" (and I use this term very loosely) is its Bane (curse) ability. First fight it used it 4X, but in the next 2, it didnt use it at all.
It did cast AM, just once, but our DRK (elvaan) managed to STUN it, contrary to what is posted in the description.
In my opinion, a RDM is better than WHM in this fight, just because RDM can convert; Do not even try to nuke/enfeeble, none of them will land. I have pimping gear for RDM at 60 and could not land any..ended up healing the entire fight. (Well we fought Shredded Samson, thats probably why ^^)
2/3 Elusive Earrings and 1/3 Knightly mantle were the main drops. The cooking abjuration, rainbow cloth and 3 silk cloth dropped 100% of the time.

Did this a week ago 3 full runs, 9 fights with DRG/WHM, PLD/WAR, and RDM/BLM. Never had a single death so it went was pretty well. Me (DRG) and the PLD did Red Lotus Blade > Skewer = Fusion with the RDM bursting Fire. None of us used anything but regular food, RDM just kept me and PLD refreshed. Wyvern was the main healer, I just casted Dia whenever PLD got to half life and healed for 190. We got elusive earring 4 out of 9 times, so about 50%, 2 kukri's, and 1 mask - among other things. All in all made about 5 million gil between us.

Last night I went with 2 members of my set.
Penguination Pld/Nin (sub nin for ancient magic)
Foresta Rdm/Whm
Illfearin Drk/Thf
We all have above average equipment, me with 2 vigor rings Foresta with just about every good red mage item you can think of (even a scorp harness for soloing O.o) and illfearin with dual sniper+1s (i think +1) and a haubergeon+1.
We went after shredded samson 3 times, and beat him easily all three times.
We all bought 12 holy waters, food, hi pots and ethers,poison potions for sleep, and illfearin got an icarus wing for fight one.
Fight one:
We go in, buff up, and use our food, i cast utsusemi, and Ill uses his icarus wing. We set up for a SATA. Foresta starts with a fire 2 in front of the mob just for a little extra damage (plus she does great damage for a rdm ^.-) and then with its back still to us Ill did a SATA Sickle Moon (he uses greatsword). It did massive damage, I flashed, reblinked, sentineled and blah blah. My sword was hitting for 50-90 per hit, with almost 200 on criticals. Ill hit for 200-300 each hit (without souleater. jebus.) and around 370 on criticals. We continued to fight as such, and around 60% hp he started with spells and abilities. He cast ancient magic once after Ill got a critical (and the agro) and he got nailed by burst, but had 300 hp left. Foresta got him back to full so fast it looked like she used convert with 5 hp. She converted, and i got hate back. Next he used sleepga 2, which did nothing, we had poison pots on. Then he used bane. This wasnt scary at all for me and ill, foresta didnt get hit. we used holy water and foresta got us up to full very fast (i cured myself also). Then he started casting flood, and i got up blink and he didnt do crap. Well, Ills Wss did over 1100 on a few cases and my vorpal blade did 400-600, so needless to say, we owned it.
The only valuable drop was a knightly mantle ;;
Fight two:
We couldnt use an icarus wing, so we decided I would cure ill, not foresta, unless he was about to die (300ish hp) so i would keep hate. We went in with just a regular SATA, no WS. the fight went almost the exact same except i remembered to use Holy Circle. That was awesome. it interrupted 3 spells, 2 of which were ancient magic, the last was thundaga 2. Also, Ill never got hit by ancient magic. We owned it again, this time i remember the exact drops, seeing as it was my orb
Elusive Earring (700k)
Rainbow Cloth (40k)
Aquamarine (2k boo)
Silk Clothx3
the two objurations
tele mea ring
Fight three:
Identical to fight 2 except he used bane twice. Again, no problem. Again, no 2hrs used. Again, Ownage.
We got ANOTHER elusive earring and raibow cloth. We also got another crappy mea ring :P
all the clear times were close to 8 minutes.
Our grand total was just about 2mil, possibly a little less or a little more. We pooled the cash but we had a deal where i payed them both 220k so i could keep my elusive earring ^^

This was a really really fun BCNM
3 posts
check this out, Me<DRK> and my cousin <RNG> were crying to eachother about how broke we are, so we jump to this site to find out what BCNM can we do,we cant count on any blm or brd cuz there wasnt any friend log, anyway we decided to do this 1, a pt of 3, we had a WHM, RNG and DRK<me>
as u can see, there is no TANk, we desperate so we went.
First Run..
DRK/THF
RNG/NIN
WHM/BLM
we went in, buff, and went in, pulled Shredded Samson, we were hitting him pretty hard, thr RNG "Lilceja" doesnt have Eurotos bow"or however u write it" but other than that, he is very good equip, and me<DRK> "Salvaje" doesnt have huberg, but i went in with leeping boots and emp, pin. so, it casted bane once, it went well, but we got no good drop =(
Second Run:
same setup
we thought that we could take on a different ghost, thinking that we will get a better chance of good drops, but reading all the post writting everything down, i choose Annihilated Anthony thinking that RNG will have better chance against him "Wrong" for some reason the posts are mess up, the rng was hitting for like 40, i was hitting for like 25, we didnt wanna die, so we ran away =\
Third Run:
same setup
i went back to the web site thinking that i read the post wrong and desided to kill Punctured Percy, "Wrong again" im not gonna said anything, but that we ran away AGAIN"
we went back and got more seals to go back for 3 more runs..i switched subjob to NIN..
Fourth Run:
we went back to Shredded Samson, we buff, pulled, and that damn ghost spam sleepaga 2 for like 5 min >.< "Damn u, im waisting shihie" anyway to resume everything we killed it and got, the dagger =250k-300k "Pandemonium" and the mantle that cost about the same.
Fifth Run:
went for the same ghost, Shredded Samson, went better, but this time it spawn ancient magic, Quake, Burst and Flood. we killed it and we got the earring "Yes!!! it was my orb, and its all mine....mine...My Precious" but thats about it nothing good, other than the rainbow cloth that is worth 40k
Sixth Run:
same ghost, this time, it was crazier, me<drk> was hitting him with criticals of 356dmg, about 3 times in a row, guillotine for 900 follow by sidewinder, we owned it this time, it droped the mask, it goes for 280k-300k
in conclution, and i am very sry for all this talk, bring Holy Water, atleast 2 per fight, u get Paralyse and Blind a lot, if u bring medicine it will help the healer save some mp, believe me, in almost all the fight, the whm ran out of mp right before the fight ended... BTW the whm had vermillion, and it really doesnt matter if u have a tank of not, all u need is a healer, and 2 good DD, RNG really helps since his atk are very accurate, and sidewinder "if it hits" will do a lot of dmg,Me as a DRK..im kind of useless against ghost since i cant drain or aspir, and my 2hr is useless as well. well, c ya guys, and i hope all this blah blah blah will help a little, atleast, encourage plp to do it with out a tank. BTW Utsusemi really helps, i subbed it and my NIN is only lvl 20

Fought Shreded Samson Ghost
Brought out the big guns in the first round and used icarus wings. Nin used mithkabobs i used sushi and whm used yagudo drinks. Began with sata dancing edge + blade:jin for detonation wich did decent damage. This was very unecesary. subsequent fights were easy without much backup items. tank must have holy water. Since we blinked it ancient magic spells never hit. We were interrupting his casting too since nin was saving his WS for that. Thf ability of Assasin helped me trick nin thoughout the fight. I saved sneak+dancing edge otherwise. Dancing edge is light based so damage to undead improves unlike my other 59 sad thf lvls!
We Pwned the entire fight. Samson likes to AOE sleep and quickly AOE bane us afterwards. As thf i never get hit so i didnt need cursna. Whm was always out of AOE range, but near casting range for melee(i.e. to the right or left of mob). Samson has icespikes and an unknown ability to me which causes paralysis if u hit it. The whm spent most of the fight unparalyzing us.
Average fight time of 8 min. Limit is 15min.
It always drops (lakshmi prices)
3 silk cloths (3.5k each)
1 rainbow cloth (35k)
1 libation abjuration
1 oblation abjuration
1 hi potion tank. (15-20k)
1 stone (we had moonstone, fluorite, jadeite)(3k)
It may drop a combination of two of these
Mea-ring (5k)
Nursemaid harp (10k WTF?!)
Trailer kukri (470k Ha! more like it)
and possibly the elusive earring (800k AWESOME) and knightly mantle (~300k) (wich we didnt get... >< orz!)
Our outcome was most possibly due to the noobish mistake of not looking at the moon phase which was 43%!
/em slaps own face.
Hope this helps everyone.

Fought Shreded Samson Ghost
Brought out the big guns in the first round and used icarus wings. Nin used mithkabobs i used sushi and whm used yagudo drinks. Began with sata dancing edge + blade:jin for detonation wich did decent damage. This was very unecesary. subsequent fights were easy without much backup items. tank must have holy water. Since we blinked it ancient magic spells never hit. We were interrupting his casting too since nin was saving his WS for that. Thf ability of Assasin helped me trick nin thoughout the fight.

Anyone tried taking 3 BLMs in, and opening with 3xFlare or similar on the magic-weak one? Has it got too many HP for such a strat to work, or does it have a good chance of taking it out?

I did this with my static Whm and Pld... I'm Drk, so we did Shredded Samson. Pretty much followed what I read here. SA/TA Guillotine on Samson...
First run was messy. He used bane every 30 seconds or so and we couldn't stun him, or get the paladin out of the way fast enough to avoid the ancient magic. So we were tankless with the thing at like 1/3 HP... switched out my hauby for the chaos curiass and tanked it fairly well considering I'm a drk. The whm did a stellar job of keeping me alive... he had to benediction, and rested quite a bit during the battle... I had to guillotine Samson twice before he went down.
Round 1 (on lightsday)
Drops:
2666 gil each
Nursemaid's Harp
Knightly Mantle
Libation Abjuration
Oblation Abjuration
Rainbow Cloth
Walkure Mask
Jadeite
3 Silk Cloth
Finish time: 9:23 (including a raise II for the pld)
Second run was much easier, we were prepared. I used souleater on the initial guillotine... did over 1500 damage... pld only started to lose hate towards the end, but they both did a good job of keeping me alive. He went down. Didn't use bane at all.
Round 2 (on firesday)
Drops:
2666 gil each
Oblation Abjuration
Rainbow Cloth
3 Silk Cloth
Trailer's Kukri
Hi Potion Tank
Libation Abjuration
Moonstone
Finish time: 8:01
The gil drops seem to be standard, cloth drops... standard... stupid abj drops... standard.
In case you were wondering, you can only use one icarus wing every 2 hours... but the good news is, that the status wears before everyone's 2 hour is back, so it's not that big of a deal.
That's the end of my story. Can't wait to get back there and do it again. :D
