Battle Notes

In order to begin this quest you must first talk to Zebada at (F-12) in Uleguerand Range. He will give you a Rare/Ex item called a Cotton Pouch. Slide down at (E-9) and enter the cave at (F-8) and trade the Cotton Pouch to the Chamnaet Spring to get another Rare/Ex item called Chamnaet Ice. Go back to Zebada and trade it to him and he will give you the key item: Zephyr Fan. This is the item needed to enter the battle and everyone in the party must have it to participate.

Head to Bearclaw Pinnacle and prepare to enter. When you are ready, choose the battle Brothers. There is no cap on this fight, you have 30 minutes to win, and a max of 6 people can enter the battlefield.

With any ENM, as soon as you enter the battlefield, you lose the required key item.

Don't need to start any COP missions to do this ENM. Just need COP installed.

Rdm/Blm and Blm/Rdm can easily duo this ENM.

I have a SP that Trio's this. Nin, Rdm, Blm.
1. Rdm Elemental Seal Sleep Big NM.
2. I provoke the Small NM and kill like normal.
3. When Big NM wakes up, Blm Elemental Seal Sleep.
4. Once the Small NM is dead, Rdm and Blm Gravity Big NM and go all out.
5. Big NM have a Regen moves, and you should kill fast.

I call bullshit, I have been doing this ENM every week for the last year and have NEVER seen the mantle drop, ever. In fact, the wiki for this has lowered the mantle drop percentage to 0%. Which is correct.

POIDH.
Which P.M.

Did this run last night 2 75 blm's First i got to xarc. realized i didnt have pouch warped back and looked for it, no dice i couldnt find that stupid pouch anywhere so i thought maybe i tossed? went back to xarc and got bored running so i started re re re checking my inv. and found it in mog house >< warp back AGAIN and finially made it to the range...went up mountain ...missed cave came back up mountain my friend got aggro and died with dlvl ;; crap! keep going and get to top again he goes first and misses i take a s.s. then jump i make it and he dies so i tractor him up. Got key item climbed back up hill again *entrance is where jormy is you CANT enter unless there is NO ice weather* well it was ice so we had the bright idea to duo buffalo. Right as the ice weather left he lvls up with like 22 xp into it. Fight was easy i think we did on darks day so of course grav didnt land and we got raped and pillaged at first but to our suprise...he didnt lvl down *evil grin here* so naturally we went ape sh*t when we got up, let the big one kill us got back up again with no xp loss and beat it. This was a rocky first run as neither of us had done any ENM there before but it will only get faster for us..i mean...really if u make it up the hill with no death, technically its free money becuase u dont lose xp in the fight.

*cliffnotes*

For ice you must fall off west side tward the bottom, kinda line yourself up alittle to the right of the ravine in the distance and pray lol

The bcnm is at the top by jormy so you have to climb up at least twice, you can only enter if there is NO ice weather

You dont lose xp in the fight

If your on limit points *you dont have to be capped xp* you will get 3500 limit points

Eassssssy money

Limit points?
# Dec 10 2006 at 8:49 AM Rating: Decent
Some ENMs will actually grant limit points if you're in that mode. Any clue if this one does?
Limit points?
# Dec 31 2006 at 3:08 PM Rating: Decent
Yes it does - but you need to have capped xp for it to work. If you are say 1k off capped xp you won't have the rest of the xp you get from winning converted to Limit Points - they'll just cap your xp out and then you lose the rest.

Duo'd this today again RDM/BLM & BLM/RDM - we got two Hedgehog Bombs after many many runs of just getting dragon bones ^^

Two things for you to know:

All party members need the Key Item otherwise you won't be able to enter battlefield.

You can enter even with full alliance but of course experience will be reduced if you succesful.

It is a nice fight.
Have fun & good luck

Question about key item
# May 25 2006 at 8:40 PM Rating: Decent
Can anyone tell me:
Does everyone in the party entering this ENM need to get the key item; or can everyone enter with just one person getting it?
Thanks!
RE: Question about key item
# Jun 06 2006 at 3:01 PM Rating: Decent

Me (RDM/BLM) and a BLM/RDM duo this ENM weekly. It’s incredibly easy we start off by going in and buffing BLM runs in and gets hate and cast Gravity on the Eldertaur then he runs back to where we entered I ES Sleep the Mindertaur. This is very important you have to kill the Eldertaur before the Mindertaur wakes up. After the Mindertaur is asleep and the BLM gets in the cave a little ways away from the Eldertaur he starts casting high end spell on it then I 2hrs and unloads my Tier 3 spells at which point I get hate. It helps a lot to throw in a bind or two in-between tier 3 spells also keep gravity on it. When you’re low on MP bind it and convert then repeat till its dead. I usual go thru about 1000 mp before its dead, my nukes go anywhere from 70 to 675. The whole time while I’m nuking the BLM is nuking as well. We always have the Eldertaur dead before Mindertaur wakes up. After Eldertaur is dead I use what’s left of my 2hr on the Mindertaur after I’m outa Mp the BLM ES Sleep 2 the Mindertaur and we rest as long as we can. From this point keep gravity on it, nuke at a distance and it shouldn’t be a problem. Also always keep you back turn to both of them. They both like to spam there Doom move and it can really ***** you up if you haven’t killed the Eldertaur yet. You can throw in silence if you want but I usually get resisted with 317 enfeebling magic. Mindertaur always cast Cure V 2-3 times while we kite it but it’s never a problem. We finish it in about 13 minuets most of the time.
Quick question~

75RDM/BLM
75BLM/WHM
75SAM/THF
75NIN/WAR

Since many people seem to have problems with the slide to get the key item, i've made two little videos of me doing them:

Slide 1 for Key Item

Slide 2 for Holy Cow ENM

Hope these help^^

recently did this ENM, and just had a couple minor observations not yet mentioned..

first of all, if you are relying on Sleep at any point, DO NOT fight this on Darksday... even though Sleep is based on Dark, I could not sleep it with Enfeebling Skill of 317 + Dark Staff, and boatloads of INT... but once the day switched to Firesday on our run, Sleep II landed flawlessly when i cast it. Darksday will hurt you more than it will help. I think we slept/kited elder, and killed minder first? i really can't remember for certain, sorry :x

2nd, Bind/Gravity is exceedingly effective, so definitely consider those two spells when fighting this ENM

3rd, when sliding down the mountain slopes, don't worry if you miss the ledge... as long as someone in teh party has Tractor and lands on the ledge... just die close enough for Tractor, and you can be Tractored up... as long as you got a WHM, only 240 XP loss with R3, and you'll get that back when you win anyhow :D

other than that, i got nothing to add, it's a fairly easy fight, just the trip up is painfully long.
where to drop off from
# Feb 08 2006 at 5:15 PM Rating: Decent
ok allegedly there is a small bump or mound on the ground where you're supposed ot stand when you fall off the mountain in order to land int he right spot.

i don't really believe it though b/c we just tried this, and everyone set /follow onto the guy who knew how to do it, and he was the only one who arrived int he right spot :/ everyone else got caught in a hole on the way and landed somewhere else (actaully in the tunnel for the map quest i think)
easy duo
# Feb 03 2006 at 4:06 PM Rating: Decent
I just duoed this enm with 2 rdm, it was very easy.
Just have one rdm elemental seal/sleepII the larger one, and have both rdm chainspell thunderIII the smaller one to death(while casting gravity and running away from it of course) after the little one is dead just kite and nuke the larger one till its dead. Maker sure u keep ur back turrned from them both to avoid doom, we won with ease, just had to wait till convert was up to finish off the big one, cause it kept healing itself, but once we both had our mp back he went down fast.
Droped hegdehog bomb/eltoro leather/martial lance^^

First off you have to get the Pouch from the NPC that’s close to the zone then climb to the top of Uleguerand Range and fall off the west slope. There are 2 ledges at the bottom of the slope the one in F-9 and one in F-8. The one in F-9 is the one you’re aiming for. Also there is about 3-4 holes on the slope you can fall in DON'T fall in them if you can help it they take you to the wrong side. Once you hit the correct ledge follow the cave and trade your pouch for a key item: Zephyr Fan. Then climb the mountain again. When you get to G-8 about were Jormungand Spawns take the East path that leads to the frozen waterfall wait for the weather to clear and the waterfall will thaw out and an opening will appear follow that path to get to the ENM. There you go. Enjoy ^^

I've been beating this religiously each week hoping to get another Cloud Evoker. Can't get it to drop, but Scouters and Hedgehog is nice ^^ Used to do it with standard parties, but mostly duo it with 2 blms nowadays. Anyways, most the information below is just... off.

First, people must be mixing this up with Holy Cows ENM. These guys does not have/switch immunity.

Second, these don't use the normal the Mortal Ray attack. They have a similiar attack that gives you "Doom" effect, but CANNOT BE REMOVED. Don't waste time and money with Cursna and Holy Water. If you get hit by it.. you die within 10 seconds, plain and simple.

Third, the big one is sleep resistant.. but we've been able to sleep without ES (don't count on it. Next to impossible, even with top gear). The small one... he resisted Sleep even with ES once and I haven't tried again.
