Historical Information

Zhu Que (Suzaku in Japanese) is one of the four symbols of the Chinese Constellations, representing the "Vermillion Bird of the South" and of the season of Summer. The other three symbols being the "Black Tortoise of the North", the "White Tiger of the West", and the "Azure Dragon of the East".

Each symbol corresponded to an element in the Five Element system, with Zhu Que corresponding to the element of fire.

  • In the Five Element system in China, there is a 5th legendary beast known as Huang Long, the Yellow Dragon of the Center. While there is no direct equivalent in Japanese, Huang Long is believed to be linked to the dragon Ouryu

Suzy and the Bard

Got my Meritwhore .. errr, sorry, Brd75 ... Troubadour recently. Due to working until midnight 6x/week, never able to go with LS to sky anymore. In the past, I used to go on my Thf75 and have a lot of fun.

Anyway, question: if Brd were initially in the tank party and threw a SV/Troubadour/Fire Carol, how much will that cut down the damage from Suzy?

Also assume that besides a ton of Ballads and Min/mads on various groups as brd is switched in and out of parties, Ice Threnodies are wanted on Suzy for Blm Bliz attacks... how much difference will a Threnody make? One of these days, I will get off work in time to go to sky and find out myself, but in the meantime, would like any notes from Brds (or others) on the subject. Thanks in advance!

wow, just chainspelled at 81% for us
Normal bind and silence ?
# Jun 08 2007 at 10:48 AM Rating: Default
Can a RDM not use normal bind on Suzaku when he 2H's ?

Does it stick with HQ Staff, high enfeeb skill and maybe the use of elemental seal ?
Can you silence Suzaku? Anyone ever saw that ?
Normal bind and silence ?

not a stunner but i am a PLD and frequent calls for me to use flash 5 seconds after i cast it gets to be a pain in the *** i just odnt think melee understand the concept of recast timers
Unusual

Fought Suzy the other day and she Chainspelled at 76%. Never seen her do that before but just to let you know it can happen. RDM/DRKs be prepared from the get go.

#REDACTED, Posted: Jun 07 2006 at 9:40 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) If there's an LS on Cerberus that will let me join em on Suzaku runs so I can get the Earthen Abj for my Cursed Celata. I won't lot on anything other than the Abj, and if there's others who need it that are in the LS I won't lot on it.
fun fight

Got my boots wOOt and the fight went well despite only 2 blm and a rdm/drk who died on its 2hour chainspell....while the rdm/drk did his 2hour chainspell stun :) kept it busy enough while it was shadowbound....all and all not bad for our first bird god kill.....9 drops btw dont use signet if are in the party that kills so u wont have crystal drops take up treasure items....
good luck to all....
no disengage=death
# Mar 31 2006 at 7:10 PM Rating: Decent
if no1 disengages suzaku while shadowbind is on or if just one person hits suzaku while he's bound, it's not really the life of the person that's going to be gone, it's the lifes of everyone else that has hate... :\

Not a hard fight if you have a solid stun order. Chainspelled Flare a few times and Firaga III after that... needless to say RDM dont tank this god quite so well >.>
easy way for suzaka
# Jan 01 2006 at 1:41 AM Rating: Default
never lost to this guy like 25/25 on him porlly not right but have done it alot got him to drop Shineing CLoth once and V claw once shadowbind works but not as well as CS stun and easy way to get hate off odf rdm/drk fast is for a pld to 2hr and suck all the hate back

If shining cloth drops from Genbu, it is incredibly rare. I have fought him quite a few times and the only items I have seen from him that are like that are divine log and venomous claw.

synths?

I guess it can be nice for some gil but i think synthing some HQ's is much easier for gil.

me being a lv.80 Woodworker and 50 bonecrafter 600k for a few hrs of work is a hell of alot better then spending cash to synth items that may not even HQ. and if they do waiting the 1-10 days it takes for them to sell. You must not be a very high crafter to think u can pull 600k a day without a 3-4mil investment. Besides theres more then likely a 80% chance people do this for the Abjurations did u think of that?

Suzaku isn't really worth going out to kill for some gil i don't tjink.

Even if u do this with your LS he doesnt usually drop more than 7 or 8 mil in gil of items.

Split that up by 18 and ull each only end up with about 600k for a few hours.

I guess it can be nice for some gil but i think synthing some HQ's is much easier for gil.

Not all of us have a high level craft now though. For most players, 600k for just 'a few hours' work is amazing profit.

What does Suzaku say when he is spawned? What do all of them say when they spawn/die?

Only one I've seen is from when you kill Suzaku. Caught a screenshot

"That I shall bow my head to a mortal's might. You shall pay for this humiliation..."

Ominous threat no? He'll come back when you fight Kirin.

I parsed this guy last night and he had just under 25000 HP. I'm sure he can spawn with different levels though. I might update this post with other HP levels I see down the road. Easy fight if you know what you are doing.
Pretty bird ^_^
# Mar 23 2005 at 3:28 PM Rating: Decent
Suzaku is pretty easy, just take caution when hes on his 2 hour because i've seen him to 2 back-to-back Fire IV and take a Pld out who wasn't careful.
Stun.

You dont have to Shadow bind just have rdm/drk chainspell stun (if 2hr is up).
