took this guy down tonight while trying to get the drop for star necklace.
it was me(67 bst), my brother(67 bst), and a 74 brd(samuy). piece of cake. the spiders and cactaurs in the area can handle him very easily. The spiders and cactaurs are decent-tough to me at 67 and this guy is only 72, so with 2 bsts this was a snap.
we had to swap pets every couple minutes when our pets got low. took about 2-3 swaps before he was dead.
we got the sword, 2 iron ores, a mythril ore, and an antican pauldron

fought this bad boy last night a few tips... have your mages/pld carry echo drops stupid ants...
no drop of the sword... while you're looking for him make sure you have plenty of silent oils or you notify your mages ahead of time and find a safe spot to recast sneak.

We kill it with 75DRK(me) 75BLM 75RDM, no tank or ture healer. We pull with carby. I was spamming Spinning Slash whenever TP is up, all the usual buff/debuff. Mugged him 1K gil and it drop Dainslaif. Suprise he didn't use any silence AoE.
Wow, this was one of the most funnest fights i've ever fought in. My four LS members (Teleri-66Ninja, Shinsengumi-66Samurai, Tasuki-65Bard, and Epifiny-66White Mage) and I, (67Thf)were running around killing spelunkers when we ran into this fella.
We had nothing better to do so we decided to kill it, we'll we took 2 shots at it, first fight we woulda finished, but the whm got aggroed by a spider pop and decided to make a run for the door and aggroed some other anticans, sam died, and whm died while escaping, we all made it out though.
The 2nd fight went a lot better, but the NM was being more devious by using a lot more silence AOEs then usual, he made the whm use all 3 echo drops in the first minute, this thing has a huge! amount! of life! Our Sc was tachi:enpi, Dancing Edge, and Blade:ten for darkness. Sucha crazy fight, but boy was it fun. Spider popped again, and I had to tank it for a while, the Sam then joined me, and the ninja was left tanking on his own. Bard refreshed whms mp and backup healed and did some enfeebles here and there, and whm was on silena/stona cure duty.
Finally killed it after a good 10+minutes, got the dainslaff, adaman ore, and xhifut head, w/e that is. Gave the dainslaff to the sam since it was no good to the rest of us, gives him motivation to lvl his war now :P
Btw, I had to pull this sucker and it was no easy task, first pull i linked an antican, 2nd pull we cleared out little by little, the anticans and the NM are in such close proximity that they can link pretty easily, you'll need a good puller for this guy ^^
Happy hunting.

I killed this with 70 nin 75 war and 74 whm. Easy battle only hard part was the start since we had to kill spider + antican at the same time so i was tanking the antican and war took spider. Overall easy fight. Only scary part is when he petrifies the melee and goes after the mage after hate reset.
http://www.speakeasy.org/~sticks/ffxi/treasure/ is actually the correct link, i suggest you get the map b4 you go after this NM, it will help alot, thats my 2 gil
first of all, we had an alliance of 18 people ranging from 62-75. extremely easy fight with 72 pld tanking, dainslaif didnt drop either did any of the expensive ore.. i.e. adaman.. although fun and easy fight... only thing i really saw was the usual AoE petrification which resets hate but only lasts a few seconds.
Btw... he really is quite large.

Why am I not cropped out of the picture? Oh yes, it's because I'm a sexy beast.
agreed!

This is a tough guy. Here is the party I tried it with.
70RNG, 68DRK, 68PLD (me),71RDM, 63THF, 61WHM.
The fight was going well, this NM doesn't really have any special moves besides a mass-petrify to your party (lasts about 3-5 seconds) and a *very* power move, called "Shoulder Slam" (I think :P). Pretty early in the fight our WHM got the aggro and took a Shoulder Slam for 770 damage instantly killing him. So, with the rest of us, we just whittled down this guys health and finally killed him, after a few 2 hrs (DRK and RNG if I remember right).
In the end, we were victorious. I got a nifty sword. ^^ Other drops, were two Iron Ore, one Darksteel Ore, and an Antican Pauldron. About 1k or so gil dropped.
My advice? Everyone around lvl 67+. Also there is a little hallway just before the room with Proconsul XII in there. It is only inhabited by a Sand Tarantula which was Decent Challange to me (I think) at 68. He's easily killed. Then have your SMN or sub-SMN bust our Carbuncle (/cheer) and bring Proconsul XII back to that little hallway. If you keep him exact center of the hallway, in between the two doors you won't get any aggro from surrounding mobs (which were Even Match or higher).
Good luck!

No, he REALLY IS that big. My alliance of 18 came across this guy while doing Bastok missions. He didn't drop the sword, just a darksteel ore and a pauldron. The sword he uses is hella-sweet looking.
Well, he probably is bigger than regular Antica, but I think the angle of the screenshot exaggerates his stature so that he looks larger than he is.

Just killed this guy. He was at (I-9) of map 5. I think he can spawn in any of those four rooms though. To get to map five, take the (G-5) entrance to Quicksand Caves in West Altepa Desert. Everything aggros to sound on this map.
We also saw an NM Cacti called Sabotender Bailarina in the small room at (F-7). We didnt take him on though.
For the antican NM we had 64PLD, 66WHM, 62BLM, 57WHM, 65RNG, 61BLM, 57BLM, 61BLM, and 64SAM. It was actually kinda close because we had no RDM for debuffs and PLD couldnt hold aggro once he was out of mana. The antican used Invincible about halfway through the fight, and also did some area effect silence and area effect petrify. The petrify only lasted a few seconds.
No sword drop, but we got an adaman ore, and had some fun.

Yup, can pop in any of those four rooms and is a 2HR pop.
Sabotender Bailarina is harcore. We took 18 people to kill him for our Monk and towards the end of his life he did 1000 needles every ten seconds. Kick Attack+30 makes it worth it though.

Is he part of some MNK quest that gives Kick Attack+30? Im confused...
Drops Kung Fu Shoes or Dune Boots i think, hidden effect is more damage when you kick
Dune boots give kick +30
