Saw him, sent Carbuncle at him, and critical hits were only hitting Carbuncle for ~50-60. I melee'd along side Carbuncle and just used Healing Ruby II whenever Carbuncle reached 50% health (heals about 350 HP). I can confirm his accuracy is low on a 75 job. Definitely not HNM. I also resisted all of his "Great Bleats". Got the special horn, but no shield. Feh.
Someone says that Rams spawn after a number of sheep are killed. This is wrong. There are 2 (normal) Ram spawns in both La Theine and Kon. Highlands. There is an upper and lower spawn as I called them. Each Ram can spawn independantely of the other and sometimes they will pop at nearly the exact same time and be 2 Rams up at once.
BUT, only the Ram spawn closest to the crag in each area can spawn the HNM Rams. I fought him couple of days ago on my 75 NIN and I cast Utsusemi Ni 2 times the entire fight. He can't touch a high evasion job like THF and NIN. I also believe the window on these HNM Rams is very sporadic as others have stated. I believe it is in the range of a 21-27 hour spawn after death.
I have killed A LOT of Rams in my day and I have never seen it spawn 2 days in a row in the same time frame as the day before.

I've soloed Bloodtear about 2 or 3 times as a lv. 75 drg/whm, and for the most part his regular melee attacks are a joke (was hitting me for about 30-40 damage per hit while I was unbuffed). Once he mighty strikes though, he'll crit for about 100+ and he seems to have a built in haste whenever he activates mighty strikes cause his attack rate increases dramatically. Contrary to what the RDM below me just posted, Erase isn't a must to beat him for two reasons 1) He rarely, if ever, seems to use it in a battle, and 2) it can miss, which has been the case with me before.
If you are a drg/whm and you attempt to try this, I would recommend that you have either some mp recovery ability with you (Spirit Taker, Ethereal Earring, mp juices or ethers, etc.) because the length of the fight sometimes forces it into a "Do I have enough mp to win this thing?" issue. At about 40% of his health I usually start running a bit low on mp, so I switch over to staff and build tp for spirit taker, then just pray it lands.
I'm 1/6 on the shield (few non-solo fights included in there), but I'll tell ya, it's a rather fun fight.

I solo'd this the other day as RDM/WHM.
Someone on LS: What is Bloodtear Baldurf?
Me: Is he up?!
Someone on LS: Yes, he just killed me at <pos> in La Thiene Plateau.
I immediately switch to RDM/WHM and teleport-dem.
I go to the <pos> someone on LS said he found him at and, sure enough, he was there, two 75 BLM starring at him on chocobos, but dared not to dismount.
I buff up (Pro+Shell, stoneskin+phalanx, enthunder+icespikes, haste and barpetrify) I use the only sword I have on me, a Dissector with the latent NOT triggered (yes, yes, I know, haha) and swing at him.
About 30 seconds in, he uses Mighty Strikes. My mind is telling me stoneskin is about to break soon, and it does. So I bind him and run away to recast stoneskin.
I wait for awhile for Mighty Strikes to wears off. I move my camera and look at the 2 BLMs looking right back at me, probably hoping I fail.
I run back to BB and after another 30 seconds, he uses Mighty Strikes yet AGAIN.
Blah. Blah. Blah.
About at 85% he uses Great Bleat, and I start to panic. I quickly hit Erase and Cure IV myself, hoping my stoneskin won't break in the process (and it didn't!).
Then at 70% he uses Petribreath, and I'm hit with petrify. I stand there and pray, because that's all I could really do at the moment.
My stoneskin breaks apart, but not long after my petrify wears off, and I bind BB and run away to recast.
70%-0% BB uses a bunch of Ram Charges that do 0 dmg, and Petribreaths that miss, and another Great Bleat right after I casted a fresh stoneskin, so I didn't panic.
After 30 minutes of me binding BB and running away to recast stoneskin a 1000 times, it finally dies and I obtain a Lumbering Horn, Ram Horn, and the title 'The Hornsplitter'.
----------
Just some tips:
1. You CANNOT solo this without Erase. Well you can if you get extremely lucky and BB doesn't use Great Bleat. Or if he does, you don't die before it wears off.
2. Bind! I bound BB everytime I got into a sticky suitation. Even when he tractors you in, you will still be out of reach!
3. DoT is your friend (in some suitations at least). Poison II and Bio II helps.
4. Pull it away from popular areas in La Thiene Plateau so you don't get a lot of spectators (it helps you consentrate on BB better :))

Whew! That was a long post. Hope it was at least an entertaining read for whoever decided to read it. Oh, and if you're wondering, 'someone in LS' HP'd before I got there :X

ffxi.cannotlinkto says Lottery spawn from Lumbering Lambert (which is itself a lottery spawn) around the area from G-9 to I-9 approximately every 21-24 hours.
Yes, Lumbering Lambert and Bloodtear Baldurf

What level do you all think a 61RDM/30NIN could solo this? My equip is ok, and I am a pretty skilled player. I just...want...revenge. >=x This thing killed me when I was lvl 15, lol.
i got this thing once, on a comlete wim,
so i got the tod and went back 21 hours later.
the 24 hour marks passes and im liek wtf, and i soon learn its actually 24-27 hour pop.
so i think ok and wait ANOTHER 3 hours and still no pop.
i gave it another 30 mins after that but then logged feeling slightly pissed off that SE would make such a stupid time waster.
my advice to anyone wanting to camp it... i dont think it has set pop windows, i think after 24 hours of death it is possible that bloodtear may be put into a lottery.
for bloodtear to spawn lumbering lamberts lottery must come up, then blood tear is a lottery form that
all in all this nm can take many hours past its stated pop window to spawn.

and what about the fact that someone killed it while you were not looking? >.>

I finally killed him today with help from my friend Xervis"55 whm" and Sinder"74pal" and me 63 pal.Well I had to kite him for like 5 min before the other 2 got there. I thought he was going hit me pretty hard how everyone talk about him, but that **** use might strike and only hit me for 67 damage lol. Mobs at Biki Bay hit harder then that.Then I use all my def macro Defender,Rampart, and Sentinel. I get about 721 def with all that and steamed crab for food. He does 21 critical lol. If pal wasn't such a bad DD I could of kill this **** with me and a whm that's it. I didn't even sub nin lol P.s Special Shout out to Drakin for telling me he popped. Ohh yea no shield ~_~ and I Killed him again on may 15,2006

A long time ago, when I was an innocent level 12-14 WHM with no subjob, I was running back from a good day at the Dunes to Sandoria. I was running up the hill around his spawning spot (ignorance is bliss), when all of a sudden this huge ******* spawned on top of me. Before I realized what was going on, I heard a huge grunt, and he turned quickly around to face me, with those hellish, yellow, beady eyes.
**Bloodtear Baldruff pulls Syy in!**
At this point I'm going, "HolyMotherOfGodWTFHelpMe." Then of course, within half of a second:
**Bloodtear Baldruff hits Syy for 256 points of damage.**
**Syy is defeated by Bloodtear Baldruff.**
**Syy delevels to level alskdjaslkdj.**
A level 50ish Ninja friend of mine from my LS at that time was in the area, and decided to come get revenge for me.
He got raped in 2 or 3 hits. XD
Within 10 minutes or so, there was a trail of dead bodies around that hill, left in his wake. A few nice *** WHMs were on the way to do free raises, unaware of what was going on; They died as well.
Being pure habit now, everytime I have to travel though La Thiene now, I make sure to take the long way around, avoiding that hill and area in general.

One evening a 60 RDM acquiatance of mine starts talking about this NM I know nothing about, saying its drawing her in and she's fighting it alone. So she keeps talking about it and 10 minutes later I decide to look it up. I see its a 63 NM and she's only 60 so I figured her for dead. I also noticed the nice little drop. By the time I showed up I expected her to be on the floor and him wandering around or killed by someone else.
To my amazement she was actually winning and had it at about 20ish%. She invited me to the party and her MP/HP situation was fine, we killed it off and Viking Shield actually dropped. She earned it so she sold it.
One of my personal goals in this game as RDM is to solo some tough NMs, seeing as how she managed to do it I wanted to give it a try. I read what I could about the NM, some said 21-24 hours, 24-27, 21-27. I came the night with my friend 21 hours after death and we killed every Ram that popped, it wasn't until 28 hours after last death did it pop. 75SAM/RNG & 61 RDM killed it quite easily.
Since I had ToD again about 27 hours after last death I decided to check up on it again. A 50ish THF farming told me "it just popped", showed me it so I buffed and engaged. The Max HP down move is a big problem for 60s trying to solo it. My RDM friend may have had more luck since shes a Hume, but I'm Taru, so it left me with only 180 HP till it wears off.
I managed to get it down to 80% but this HP Down thing became an issue so I warped, got another tele and got a 73 THF friend. The THF could have soloed it, this NM has horrible accuracy and HP down is often evaded by higher lvl players. No drops both times I killed it, just that first time. From the 2 times I have camped this and seen it pop its definetly somewhere in the 27-28 hour spawn range. Also never saw Lumbering Lampert once the many hours spaming widescan and camping this.

I just duoed this with 75 blm ls member. (Im a 73 rdm/nin) This thing spawned in I-9 of la theine. The fight isnt too bad i could have soloed it easy im not sure about other jobs soloing though. The NM itself is pretty easy, he has low eva and low acc. I hit for about 80-100 each hit. Fast blade usually did somewhere around 450. The blm nuked it and i tanked, mighty strikes is nothing with shadows up. This is a pretty fun fight, no shield but we got other drops.

this guy is ALWAYS on the Hydra server. Noone fights him. i pet him alot :)
oh yeah. popped in or around H-9.
I don't suggest taking it on if you're under 60ninja. But as said, land para, blind, slow and he's pretty easy.
He did do mighty strikes about 7 times(swear to god) so come prepared for that.

so i'm omw to valkurm to lvl my marksmanship for my 58 war. I see it, hop off, not knowing it's level and get owned. I then proceed to hop on my 68ninja and get down there.
It landed it's hp move, and b/c it was missing so much I got lazy. Hit me a couple times. Got shadows up, easy sailing.
Was nervous, but whm friend showed up. NO drop(had a 50thf join up)... was kinda upset, but glad I got revenge.

21-27 hours....maybe it was just bad luck. I was there with a few LS friends because we killed it 3-4 days in a row. So we get there the last day at the 18 hour mark just to scout it out. the 24 hour mark hits and still no Bloodtear. The 30 hour mark hits and the ram is yet to be seen anywhere. Needless to say, we were not very happy with it. We don't camp this thing anymore lol.
