- Absorbed by Utsusemi

Touchdown
- AoE damage when Bahamut lands
- Center is Bahamut himself
- 300-400 damage + Knockback

Tempest Wing
- Wind(?) elemental Cone Attack
- Used when in the air
- 200-400 damage

Sweeping Flail
- AoE with tail
- Used when someone behind Bahamut gets hate
- NOT Spike Flail
- 100-200 damage + Knockback

Mega Flare
- He uses this every 10% HP he loses.
- He insults the players before he uses it: "Children of Vana'diel, what do you think to accomplish by fighting for your lives?"
- Don't bother stunning this, he'll just use it again when Stun wears off.
- Forward directional AoE
- 600-800 damage

Giga Flare
- Forward directional AoE
- Used instead of Megaflare at 10% HP.
- Can use at will as a regular TP ability after 10% health.
- He insults the players before he uses it: "Contemplate on the good your death will bring as your mortal form is consumed by my brilliance!"
- It is faster than Megaflare and harder to stun.
- Stun this as there is a chance he will not try after stun wears, and may use Megaflare instead.
- Bahamut's special "2-hour"
- Roughly double Mega Flare damage (seriously...)


Strategy tips:

* Tank Bahamut straight up. No kiting. You need to control which direction he is facing.
* Keep Barfira on as much of your alliance as possible.
* Bahamut cannot be silenced though he can be stunned.
* Keep your softer characters to the sides of Bahamut to avoid Mega Flare
* Bahamut will always talk in /say before using Mega or Giga Flare. Consider it your last warning to clear out.
* Giga Flare will strike when Bahamut is at about 10% life remaining. Tank with godly armor or not, this thing HURTS. Have your healers at the ready.

you're more then welcome to join us Psylight. We're about 10 people so far and we're still deciding what job everyone will come as, but you'll probably be drk, or rdm/drk. We don't plan for CSS but having a stunner helps.

Hey, I might be able to get you 4-6 people for this fight (myself included). My wife and I, as well as some people from my linkshell, have been talking about doing this for some time but it just hasnt worked out. I will talk to them tonight and let you know when I find something out.
