Vana'diel Bestiary: Titan Prime  

I was wondering if i needed fame to get titan prime quest...and if i do wht lvl fame...and were at...thanks

I just solo'd Titan today as 75 SMN. I used Leviathan's Spinning Drive till I got down to 100 MP and then I busted carbuncle out on Titan till my yy's refresh and auto-refresh kicked me up to about 800 and I finished Titan off with a few more Spinning Drives.

Title Says it all, I just got done beating down Titan Prime by myself(Noone with me, and I couldn't summon my NPC). Survived with 415 HP, but was in no Danger of biting the dust as I had chakra up and ready, Just didn't feel like hitting the macros to use it because he had 3 hits worth of health left in him ^^

Yes you can my PLD brother/sister, yes you can, dont let anyone discourage you.

"Only RDM and NIN can solo prime avatars"
That's BS. here's proof

I currently hold the record for both him and Shiva in the Pheonix World =p
I beat Titan ON Earthsday, in 3 minuts 48 seconds =D

This afternoon, I went to fight Titan. Words cannot explain how nervous I was. ( I was actually shaking, couldn't stop it. My finger almost fell asleep. ) Then I summoned Carbuncle, scanned through my items and used a Yagudo Drink. I ran up and had Carbuncle attack Titan. Then I ran behind the crystal, felt like I was on the wrong side, turned around and got on the other side. Turns out I was at the wrong crystal. So Carbuncle died, I tried recasting him but I was too close to Titan and he punched me so I couldn't finish it. But I was too nervous, I thought Carbuncle was out so I frantically kept pressing the Assault Macro button, then I noticed Carbuncle wasn't there, so I started running away. Then, 5 HP left, tried casting Carbuncle again, and I died halfway through it.

Don't worry about this happening to you, just suck yourself up, and make sure you know your strategy before going.

(Good thing is, I only used one Yagudo Drink, so that's all I have to buy.)

Okay, there's no doubt about it... these fights are UNBELIEVABLY annoying. Don't worry though you WILL eventually get throught them, and the reward is worth the effort =)

Okay so after getting my butt kicked numerous times when I first started out, I've developped what has become an almost 100% successful method for these battles.

Now it costs a lot (depending on your server, for me this method can cost from 15k to 22k PER fight on Asura).
Here's what you need:

Potion X 5
Hi-Potion X 2
Ether X 5
Yagudo Drink X 3
Selbina Milk X 12 (just a clump of em will last for a loong time, and they're cheap too, only about 200G for 12)

Okay so very simple strategy. Get your hand on a Hermit's Wand and ANY other equipment that lowers spell interuption rates (like Heko Obi +1 for example), the rest of your equipment try to find things that raise your EVAsion stats, otherwise anything with the highest defense.

Now, when you enter the battlefield IMMEDIATELY cast Protect and Aquaveil (if using a SMN/WHM, I haven't tried any other combo), or you can try to get a Protect II or III from some nice player before entering the battle. Now having macros set for these fights helps a lot (I will post my macro list right after this).

Run up the ramp until you can see the avatar in the distance and cast Carbuncle right away. Use a Yagudo Drink RIGHT AWAY after summoning (it restores MP).

Use assault of the avatar where you summoned Carby (MAKE SURE that the avatar if busy with Carbuncle before moving) now run to the top and hide beside the crystal. Try to run far enough away so you no longer target the avatar and you can no longer see Carbuncle's health, only his name, you know then you are at a safe distance.
Now that you have a chance, use the Selbina Milk (it gradually restores HP). Be very alert during these battles, and restore anything that wears off if you feel you are safe to do so.

After a minute or so Carbuncle will be defeated by the avatar. DO NOT PANIC, this will happen MANY times during the fight, so get used to it. When you see Carbuncles name dissapear from the bottom of the screen summon him again RIGHT AWAY, DO NOT WASTE TIME. Once he pops out again, mash the Assault macro, and once the avatar has targeted Carby again, run back to the place you summoned Carby for the first time (a lot of people say to run back down to where you enetered the battlefield, personally I found this a waste of time, and it actually caused me MORE difficulty, so just do what you feel comfortable with).

Keep letting Carby get wooped until you either:

A) Have the avatar's health down to about 3/4's
OR
B) Have less that 70 MP remaining.

Now's when you break out the 2-Hour.
Once Carbuncle has been freshly summoned, let the avatar come close to you and use Astral Flow, it WILL come after you, but don't worry. Now hit the Searing Light macro, and WAIT until Carby hit it before running away, otherwise you'll completely miss the target. This is EXTREMELY important!!! USE at LEAST 2 or 3 ethers IMMEDIATELY!!! Otherwise Carbuncle will dissapear due to lack of MP, and you will most likely DIE! After using the Ethers run to a safe spot (as mentioned before by viewing only Carby's name nd the bottom) and use potions as needed (Hi-potions if in the yellow and regular potions if you are below 75%HP).

Make sure you have at least 40MP remaining and continue the "Carby dies, you re-summon" method until you can re-use Searing Light. Follow the same directons as before, stay CLOSE to the avatar and wait for Carby to use it.

Using this method, the second Searing Light should do the avatar in. If for some reason it doesn't, then follow the same directions as before, and pray you have enough time to get another Searing Light in before the 2-Hour wears off.

And there you have it! This method has worked for me 90% of the time. Why 90%? Because I once continued hitting the wrong macro thinking there was some glitch with the game rather than using Searing Light, which lead my 2-hour to expire and Shiva to kick my bum. Other than that extremely stupid mishap, I've won every other time.

Don't worry you CAN do it! It just takes practice, it's very rare that anyone can get an avatar on their first try. Good luck!

I'm trying to figure out if my smn can beat him, well I'm level 17 summoner now. Got him to half HP on darksday (carby is weaker).

Ok, I took in 1 Hi potion, some pineapple juice, I would have brought an ether but none on AH -_-/
So im gonna fight again on winsday, any comments you guys have plz respond

PS; Thanks in advance.

Was in a hurry to do Prime Avatar runs, so I joined a lvl 60-62 PT. Bad idea. Titan was hitting the tank for 100 per hit + 187ish for en-damage. We were spamming Cure III and Cure IV >_< Mages MP didn't last long. After Titan's two-hr, it was just the thief and me alive. It had like 1/9th HP left so we tried to finish it off. I was kiting it back and forth using Gravity, and Thief was running behind Titan slowly carving his HP down. It was working great until I attempted to Chainspell + Convert. Gravity wore off Titan just as I converted and killed me -_-
