General Information
Charybdis Special Attacks
Historical Information
In Greek mythology, Charybdis is a sea monster that is said to take the form of a gargantuan mouth that sucks in and spits out enormous volumes of water three times a day. The daughter of the ocean god Poseidon and earth goddess Gaia, she was originally a naiad until she stole the cattle of Geryon from Heracles, which angered Zeus and caused him to transform her into a monster. She resided along the side of a strait of water within an arrow shot's distance of Scylla, another sea monster that took on the form of a creature with six vicious dog-heads atop incredibly long necks. Ships passing through the strait would have to decide between passing close to Scylla's domain to avoid Charybdis, or vice versa. They would almost always choose the Scylla side, as while passing by Scylla would ensure that some of the crew would be killed, passing near Charybdis could result in the destruction of the entire ship. It is believed that this myth is the origin of the phrase, "Between a rock and a hard place", referring to being forced to make a choice where both options are difficult.

well i just had a Night i will never forget, This NM, well in no other words suck. but ill get back to that lol. i say a LS mate asking if anyone wanted a joytoy, now who would pass that up. ToD was seen and next window was 2:30 am, so had some time to kill. after 6 hours of waiting we headed out for that little hole in the ground. we got there and had maybe 5 parts compation. out numbered and out maned 1 NIN/DNC and 1 DRG/BLU (me) andthe nin duelboxing a WHM. well we wait and waited got board a few time and died from the DRG NM just outside the door, now i know the window is 8 hours after death, well lets see after 8 hour of no pop and me talking the ear off of my friend trying to get him to stay up. we had partys come and go and i saw a dynamis LS mate, he was there to get ToD for his fight. well i invited him and now we have a nice little party lol. well boys and girls want to know when the pop was 11:55 am yes almost 9 1/2 hours after death. and out of the 3 partys there we somehow got him (thank you Starfox) my friend the summener got him with a dia, he dosent and we dont know how lol, be we were very glad. needless to say he died in 1 hit, but we got him lol. sothe ninja starts going at it with her (see backround history of NM) and me as drg know not to attack first with a ninja tank, so i use sandspin, battle dance and sprot smack. keep those up most of the time, thank goodness for sanction refresh. and spam leg sweep, throughing in a head but every now and then, tryed not to jump too much. well the summener got up and helped us and it was a big help, we had a few close calls, since the ninja was low on evad gear. but i healed heal, and the ninjas mom woke up and started helping more with heals and debuffs. well we got it to 3% hp and the ninja died malestorm, and 8 hits in a row. thats right when the summener 2 houred. now i was the last hope, used my jumps blasted out a penta thrust and boom she gose down. after 9 hours and more luck then we thought we had, we did it. me and the ninja rolled my friend said he just wanted to help i rolled a 633, he rolled a 634. i felt like killing him lol, but its cool i get to drag him on my run ^^
so for all the people that think you need a bard, DRG/BLU is just as good, and with both you may never lose.

Tempest 75 NIN/DCR thanks for asking man it was grate

WOOT got my JOY TOY today woot setup was Thf<me> RDM, NIN, and BLM... fight was pretty easy... NIN subbed dnc btw, but yeah pretty easy fight :) im very happy, and so is my PLD ><
7 posts
Well im goin to attempt this shortly >< my setup is 75thf<me>, 75rdm, 75blm, and 75nin :) hopefully we will come out on top, and ill have a very happy Pld ><.
Helped get the Joy-toy for... I dunno, five or six LS members?
This NM really brings out the ugliness in some people, that's for sure - And I'm not referring to the people I'm helping. There was pretty much always a group of ***holes hoping for us to die.
The NM itself also sucks. XD I've dropped basically from full HP to 0 multiple times, and it wasn't due to one attack. Damn thing oughta just drop the Kraken Club. >.>;
At least there's been amusing instances.
Wiping, getting back up, and killing it after another group dies while weakened...
In one case, we died... A NIN/BRD duo'd it for a while, got it down to nothing... Then died. Everyone scrambled to get hate, but it died unclaimed - An incredibly lucky 75 WAR (Or PLD?) bystander got the last hit, and the sword. Pissed off many, I just found it kinda funny.

Anyone ever tried or heard of someone trying to solo this on blm before? Levelling rdm atm at its at 67 atm, and I obviously want this sword for when its 70. The char than needs it is also BLM75 so was thinking /rdm and grav kite with DoT. I dont have any sort of movement enhancement gear like heralds which would obviously help, but my other gear isn't too bad. Only probs I can see is running out of mp since I can't sleep it to rest up, the other prob is that it builds resistance to gravity. I can stock up on yag drinks and bring a couple of ether tanks for mp and save stun and bind for any failed gravitys.
If not I'll have to get help but that can be awkward depending on the window times :/

This NM is best killed with as few melee as possible. A typical winning combination consists of a blink-tank, a bard using double mambo, and a healer (RDM preferred for Convert). The NM triple-attacks quite often, but has low accuracy, especially against a double-mambo'd blink-tank using evasion gear. If you have a lot of people melee the NM, you feed it TP at a fast rate which it can then use to spam its AoE moves and drain your healer's MP. And if you spam Curaga spells, your healer will quickly pull hate.

What's the difficulty level for a Nin/dnc (well geared), and rdm/whm to duo Charybdis?
oh and as far as a difficulty level?
1 low, 10 hard...
If NIN + RDM + BRD is a 5 (common trio that can do it pretty easily, but only those 3)
I'd put NIN/DNC, RDM/BRD, PLD/WHM at 6 (what I just did)
I tried a duo of NIN/WAR and RDM/BRD and I'd put that at 8-9.
NIN/DNC and RDM/WHM I'd probably put at 8 or 9. No Elegy, No Melody Earrings, No Flash/Stun.

Last night I fought this with NIN/DNC, RDM/BRD and PLD/WHM and we had very little issue. I had a few moments where my timers got messed up (I was the NIN), usually when Haste, Mambo, or Blind fell off him. I had never tried /DNC for this before, but I had 5 Finishing Moves prior to pop and was able to build more throughout the fight to keep Animated Flourish up. Being able to help Cure myself when I took hits definitely made recovery easier, I rarely spent more than a couple seconds outside of white, even if I dropped down in the light red.
My gear wasn't extraordinary, but was decent. OHat, SH, Rasetsu Tekko where the 3 big Evasion+ items, with an Evasion Torque and 2x Melody Earrings (hence the RDM/BRD) for Evasion Skill+. I have Koga Hakama for pants, and tbh I don't know what time of day it was. Any other slots I filled in with normal gear. Used Stun Katanas and Bibiki Seashell as well, both of which come in incredibly helpful.
Based on how our fight went, I don't think we'd have won with NIN/DNC and RDM/WHM. While I evaded a lot, there were times when I'd put up new shadows just to see them fall right away. I'm not saying it's not possible...I'm sure you CAN. But with my gear/merits (2 evasion merits as well), I don't think I could have kept up with Charybdis when he went through an accurate phase.

Its funny how most of us miss pronounce most words in this game but this one I wanna set straight. Charybdis is pronounced Ka-Rib-Dis, not Chary or Charby the Cha sound is not made with a C (like see) but made with a K.
Just killed Charybdis and got the sword today. The setup was:
THF/NIN
NIN/WAR
RDM/PLD <- me
BRD/WHM
Pretty standard setup - Slow II + Elegy, Flash when it use AoE, THF and NIN trading hate. In total it took around 10 minutes.
The party which killed it before was a bit unconventional.
RDM/NIN
RDM/BLM
RDM/WHM
WHM/BLM
NIN/WAR
It was Bind + Dot + Nuke for 60 minutes. The NIN/WAR tried to tank it and lasted 2 minutes. Bind landed every time. It's easy when you have multiple RDM so that bind is always up.
THF/NIN

Camped this guy 3? weeks ago for a PLD friend. Me as THF him as PLD/WHM and dual boxing a BRD/WHM. Camped him for roughly 11 hrs. Had jp competition for like 9 hrs but luckily they left about an hr before Charby popd. So we could buff up before pulling him since no1 was there to outclaim us. ^^ I used sushi to help me land status bolts then pulled. Only I engaged while the PLD cured me flashed Charby from time to time and did the usual with the BRD Mambox2, Elegy etc... Took about 25 mins to take him down. Was a smooth fight.
Gratz Carny on your Joy-toy. =)

Think a 75 SAM/37NIN or /37DNC and a PLD/WHM could duo this SOB? It's only level 70 after all...
For the record, windows are not a set rule. I just want to say this right now, because I have had people tell me when a lottery NM is "guaranteed" to spawn.
Charybdis, on my 9th attempt at camping him, did not spawn for over 30 hours, despite attempts to do so. While windows 'open,' there is no 'close.' The close time simply represents a statistical average. If the window is open and it's a lottery spawn, there is no guarantee it will spawn inside this set range that people post on the internet.
That having been said, on my tenth attempt, I finally have my Joyeuse. Charybdis almost took out our tank a couple of times, but we had a BLM, WHM, SMN, BRD, COR, SAM, and NIN. We took it out in maybe 10 minutes?
I want to officially thank the following people on the fairy server for their time in helping me camp this over the last two days:
Sway
Harutoshih
Chau
Kitaa
Notsokoolaid
Perryk
Telemus
Shakar
Smallwhite
Bandolf
Abro
Pyste

ok so heres my charybdis experience
1st day-So here I am in sea serpent grotto with myself 75pld/37whm 75whm/37blm 75nin/37 war X2 brd75/whm37. Here wr are hanging out in the wonderful grotto waiting for you know who to pop. A few people there but nothing to challenging as I'm claiming left and right with flash. after about 6 hours charybdis pops and my flash is at 87% when a bst gets claim over me. Thf/nin brd/whm and the bst/whm duo him with ease end of night with ToD lets try again tomorrow
2nd day- come back with myself a 75nin/war 75 thf/nin 75brd/whm and a drg/war just for quicker kills of PH and a possible chance better claiming. theres another LS here....like an army of them getting every PH claim possible. so after about 8-9 hours they leave except one of them who goes AFK. charybdis pops 30 minutes later Thf gets claim and they start going to work. The mistake here was the thf and nin were both attacking and all they did was feed it TP so after about 10 minutes we all wipe.....RR and start waiting for weakened to wear when that damn army comes back(rdm obviously wasn't afk just hoping we'd claim and wipe) and stomp him end of story.....well lets come back tomorrow.
3rd day- get to SSG and kill about two PH's me and rdm/whm just trying to see if it pops as another party rolls up. charybdis pops and i flash macro him and the rdm starts DoTing him while I kite and casting stoneskin when Charybdis is bound. well he eventuatlly kills me and my party is almost here to come kill him. RDM still using bind and gravity and pulls a fast cast raise on me. Bad Idea cause we lose hate as soon as my party that would have won comes through. X2nin/war rdm/whm brd/whm and another pld/war just to watch us kill it. Other party takes the oppurtunity of us losing hate claims it almost wipes but they kill it.
so as an act of good faith the ones who grabbed hate off us offered to help me next time window is open. point is I hate this NM and i hate sea serpent grotto heres hoping i dont have to go back there again after tomorrow......

Can't be sold, you say? :chuckle:
Invite individual, collect fee, allow them to lot, sale complete.
EDIT: Although, I should mention, Scream, that this is extremely risky, and can result in quite a ripping on the buyer's part.

I just camped this NM all weekend and finally yesterday, luck was with me and my friends as we got both spawns of Chary in 2 consecutive windows. There was a lot of competition there as well.
First time our party setup was 5 people and they were:
2 PLD/NIN
2 RDM/BLM
1 BRD/WHM
Fight went very smoothly, and we weren't even low on hp or mp by the end of the fight. The second fight was almost a joke, we had 2 more people helping us this time:
2 PLD/NIN
1 RDM/BLM
1 RDM/WHM
1 WHM/BLM
1 BRD/WHM
1 RNG/NIN
By the end of the second fight, if we had to we could have fought chary again, our stats were almost full.
We felt good about it, claiming twice in 1 day and getting 1 Joytoys, 1 for myself and 1 for a very good friend of ours. I am glad camping this guy is over for now, it's so dreary in that cave.
Edit: Funny part was while we were killing the first Chary, I got a tell from someone watching that they wanted to buy the sword for a whopping 500k. I just lol'd back at them. This weapon is worth a LOT more than that I think.

Been down getting ToD and scrambling to get a workable setup together for this thing for over a week straight. No luck on it. Before anything good happens for me, I have to take a horrible beating first. Had 3 wipes, 2 botted claimers, and a few other unfortunate things. I hope to get it today.
17 posts
This NM took 18 hours to respawn. When the 8 hours were up after TOD we then stood there and killed the ph's repeatedly for a further 10 hours and it spawned about 3 minutes before the 18 hours were up.

75 THF/NIN Jryan... sort of.. haha
So I leave my PC on all night in SSG and get ToD. Window opens right when I got of work so that was awesome timing. I got a good friend of mine (Jryan 75 THF/NIN) to come help and a BRD, SMN, and MNK from LS. We kill placeholder for a good 4 hrs when everyone says they have to leave for Einharger or w/e it is. THF friend stays to help kill PH's and says if it pops we give it a shot since no one else was there to claim except a lvl 40 WHM I think, probably trying to get ToD. Well luck has it that he has important things come up and goes afk. About 10 minutes later... you guess it, Charybdis pops. I start freakin out, doing calls and /slapping THF just to see if he is there. Well nothing is working, so I get on LS and say 'Charybdis is up!' and another good friend helps me search for members. About 15 minutes later the 2 NINs and BRD show up. We mambo and haste NINs and I enfeeble as they engaged. Barwatera helped a lot against Malestrom, usually did about 150 or so dmg on NIN's. Also got link from Death Mantra, so BRD and I traded Sleep II and Foe Lullaby to keep it asleep while we fight. Cured as needed and kept enfeebles up and shortly there after we defeat it. With even 1 NIN or THF and a BRD this NM is easy prey. 2 NINs and BRD is almost makes it unfair but hey it got the job done easy. Everyone passes and I Cast Lot on Joyeuse.... a whopping 58 points... WTF right lol, eh 1/1 anyway, and yes I know its 100% but I mean camping ToD, popping NM and getting claim and kill with no problems whatsoever, minus afk problems lol. I obtain Joyeuse and we kill the other mantra. THF came back and is like 'All Right! lol' but he did help me a lot making it easy to pop and keep company while we wait. TY to everyone that helped, you know who you are, and it is now time to defeat more NM's!! All right! And also congratulations to RDM and THF and friends that killed, obtained Joyeuse, and helped me get ToD haha!

Well luck has it that he has important things come up and goes afk. About 10 minutes later... you guess it, Charybdis pops. I start freakin out, doing calls and /slapping THF just to see if he is there. Well nothing is working, so I get on LS and say 'Charybdis is up!' and another good friend helps me search for members. About 15 minutes later the 2 NINs and BRD show up. We mambo and haste NINs and I enfeeble as they engaged. Barwatera helped a lot against Malestrom, usually did about 150 or so dmg on NIN's. Also got link from Death Mantra, so BRD and I traded Sleep II and Foe Lullaby to keep it asleep while we fight. Cured as needed and kept enfeebles up and shortly there after we defeat it. With even 1 NIN or THF and a BRD this NM is easy prey. 2 NINs and BRD is almost makes it unfair but hey it got the job done easy. Everyone passes and I Cast Lot on Joyeuse.... a whopping 58 points... WTF right lol, eh 1/1 anyway, and yes I know its 100% but I mean camping ToD, popping NM and getting claim and kill with no problems whatsoever, minus afk problems lol. I obtain Joyeuse and we kill the other mantra. THF came back and is like 'All Right! lol' but he did help me a lot making it easy to pop and keep company while we wait. TY to everyone that helped, you know who you are, and it is now time to defeat more NM's!! All right! And also congratulations to RDM and THF and friends that killed, obtained Joyeuse, and helped me get ToD haha!

So I leave my PC on all night in SSG and get ToD. Window opens right when I got of work so that was awesome timing.

Me and a AWESOME friend Izi duo this the other night.
We had the ToD so we knew when to camp it, but it was right after our dynamis-windurst so yeah.. We started around 12am est(me) 9pm pst (lucky him) it didnt pop until 7:45a my time. OMG I was super tired but we went for it. Luck was upon us because no one else was there so we were able to buff before hand.
Izi was Thf/Nin and me (Skyle) went as Brd/Whm.
If you're going as this, which is possible to win this way better be ready for a extra long fight.
Thf bring that eva gear and lots of it. Izi got his NPC out which helped out a lot.
Brd bring that MP gear, you're going to need it.
I managed to get like 570+ mp on brd which was extra nice.
Also bring yagudo drinks. Which will help. Save Divine seal for when thf really needs it. You will have to 2hr near the end which probably saved us in the long run. Good Luck!
