Vana'diel Bestiary: Kirin

General Information
Kirin Special Attacks
Historical InformationQilin (Kirin in Japanese) was a creature in Chinese mythology said to have the head of a dragon, the antlers of a deer, the scales of a fish, the hooves of an ox, and the tail of a lion. It is said that the Qilin is a benevolent creature, only becoming violent when a good person is threatened by a sinner, in which, among other ways, it will attack the sinner by breathing fire. While the dialogue spoken by Kirin when he is spawns suggests that he is one of the Shijin of East Asian mythology (see Seiryu, Suzaku, Genbu, and Byakko), he is never in actuality associated with them, but is another prominent creature.

Okay, Kirin is definately hard, yes I know.
I had a good summer my HNM LS took down Kirin, Fafnir, Nidhogg, and King Behemoth. I will admit Kirin was very hard, but once you get the hang of it its just repetition, until he uses Astral Flow. This is typically when you get him down to about 15% Hp.
Many people think Kirin is the hardest HNM in the game. I will put down that rumor. The hardest HNM is definately Vrtra. My HNM LS took down Kirin in about 7 hours, while we fought Vrtra for 11 hours and then ended up giving up. Also Vrtra has lv 82 undead called Sparotoi Sorceror's that spawn in the same room, up to 40 of those B!tches.
Hope this helps ^^

If it took you're ls 7 hours to beat Kirin you must have really took your time....My ls beats Kirin in like 1 hour and 30 mins. 7 hours is plain ridiculous.

Astral Flow is pretty much completely random actually. I am fairly certain you have to hurt Kirin before he can use it... I have never seen him use it during mini-gods. After that, however, I have seen it as early as 90% hp remaining and as late as 10-15% hp remaining. The astral flow will most likely kill everybody who doesn't have over 1000 hp at that very moment. Also, while Kirin can run out of mp and not be able to cast any spells, he will still be able to astral flow even with no mp, and if he astral flows while he still has mp he will still be able to cast spells after, so the astral flow is completely independent of his mp (unlike a player summoner).
7 hours!?!? wth are you doing, do you have mages? i mean meleeing him to death is the only way i could see it taking 7 hours

In all honesty, Kirin is extremely easy compaired to any of the new dragon HNMs. Kirin, on average, takes my ls 40-50 minutes to kill, spawn to death. The dragons, if fought right and flawlessly will take about 2 hours. Remember, every HNM in this game can be killed by 18 people. It is just a matter of finding the right way to do it.

Yea bout a week ago Kirin was taken down by my LS. First NA only ls to do it on carbuncle. Anyways its safe to say that he's not easy.
The minigods he summons are slightly weaker than the normal gods but they still have their additional effect hits on em and those aren't dispelable like the normal gods. They hit hard as hell but are much easier to enfeeb. Problem lies int he fact that you have to kill those minigods fast or they'll stack up on you. He summons one every like 5 or 10 minutes and each of those minis still have their 2 hours avalible. Suzaku's chainspell flare and fire4 may hurt but toss in Seriyu doing hundred fists all the while kirin runs around casting stonaga 4 and quake for 1670 damage (got hit with one and lived)
Btw if you think you can stun those spells think again. lvl 90= massive resists and ev. If you wanna take him out bring about 40 lvl 70+ else the minigods will stack up on you. Kirin alone isn't too bad but those other gods will mess you up good.
Oh btw again, did I mention he regens like a ****? we hit him with about 5000 damage which he healed up in about 2 min. Fight lasts about 2-4 hours depending on what days you fight him on. Have fun.

Couple things, Kirin is deffinately weak to Wind, and he seems to be an earth based mob, he casts Stonega IV, Stone V, Quake, Rasp, and Sleepga <-- o.O;, but he drops Wind Crystals.... yeh I don't understand either =/
6 posts
bats are weak to wind, but drop wind crystals, so, maybe he is wind based? wouldnt know myself as im currently 43BLM...
Correction:
the flags say:
Based on Wind
Weak against Water
Strong against Fire
but the notes say:
Kirin is Earth based, cast Stonega IV, Stone V and Quake and weak against Wind.
judging from the BG video, id say the notes are correct and the flag should be changed.

lol wtf are you guys talking about
Thfs are the most important in HNM hunts because we use Thfs for Treasure Hunter
lol without treasure hunter you wont even have high chance getting rare expensive items
Thfs are not only for Treasure hunters too, SATA can be used to tanks to give them better hate control.... lol
Kirin would be a special case, but you will still need thf for their Treasure hunter ~ lol

Excuse me... Did you just refer to them as rare expensive? lmao
Side note: I'm not sure of the accuracy of this statement, but I've heard that a THF's Treasure Hunter trait does not affect the drop rate on Rare/Exclusive items. I'd like to know the truth, so someone enlighten me.

Soloing Kirin, be realstic the monster is lvl 90, and if you check boards, a lot of says you'll need up to 1-2 alliances to defeat him. So how do u think you really going to solo a monster that SUMMONS gods.
possibly b/c Kirin is a lvl 90 god nm that drops the best piece of armor in game.
possibly because kirin is a lvl 90 nm that drops the best pece of equip in game.

Can't wait until I get into a group to fight this guy. Though I have to agree with some, his design should be unique.
When I saw his name, 'Kirin', I immediately thought of the Asian 'unicorn' (ki'rin, kirin, ki'lin) - I'd think something like that would be a real god in the game.
So I was rather disappointed to see it was just a big ugly manticore. :P

I'm with you dude, I was thinking it be like FF6 Kirin, all green haired with silvery scales and golden horns. Although this is just scarier.
I'd be pretty upset if only a Wind Crystal dropped off him. lol

a full alliance of 75 can take him down but you'll need a second alliance to take down the gods he spawns. about 25 ppl total is enough
the gods that he spawns (genbu byakko seiryu suzaku) do NOT drop the items that their true versions do. Also they are not as strong as the originals either. That is why most people will call for help on them so both alliances can go to work on them.

how can u beat him he is lvl 90 even wit a full pt iwt lvl 75 i still think he is unbeatble
6 posts
u get a few full partys of lvl 75 =)
This looks just like the other Manticores. Shouldn't the hardest mob in the game have his own design? I mean he's a god for crying out loud. I feel the same about the other gods but i can see why they look like their regular counterparts. I really think they could have come up with a better look for Kirin, I know i could.
And why can't all jobs equip the drops the gods have? Thief gets left out in the cold here, there's little reason for us to fight him, though i hear THF isn't usually invited to HNM hunts. Poo.

Thf is used in HNM hunts. Just not a lot of them like other jobs. We hunted serket but only brought 1 thf for TH2. No point in having more than 1 thf just bring like a drk/thf or something for SA TA.
*cough* BS *cough*
yeah...mobs like kirin and fafnir a dagger wielding thf isn't going to do much at all, but lower HNM's like behemoth jr, roc, serket theives are awesome to have.
High tp gain
Very high damage weaponskill (SATAshark - ~1500 damage vs roc)
74 thf/nin can tank in a pinch
Most of the low level HNM's have high hp and high eva, but lower defence (they're level 55-65 instead of 85 like the gods). Thieves are amazind DD's for these fights.
Ending a level 3 chain with a 1500dmg shark bite + 1500dmg chain bonus...and 900-1100dmb vs serket - yes please!
No, thief can't do much vs Kirin but sub sam and spirits within just like every other melee.

Do the beasts he summons (byakko, genbu, etc.) give their normal drops during the Kirin fight?
i was just going to ask that, yay for you!
The other gods HNMs that he summons are considerably weaker than the versions that you fight normally (much lower HP). They do not drop anything.
Well, many black mages probably drool over the Krins Pole, I know I do...

Posted: Jun 21 2004 at 12:19 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) my link killed him for the 4th and 5th time over the weekend and said he dropped a w.abj.lg, which isnt listed as one of his drops, so i wouldnt be surprised if his drop list is just incomplete (even mysterytour doesnt list w.abj.lg as his drop)

Uh Oh. They updated Kirin? Wasn't he hard enough?
Updated, as in this site updated the info on him.
I think you misread it or mistook it as "upgraded".

Posted: Jun 12 2004 at 8:13 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Me and my LS was hunting this NM it took us like 5hrs to make him spanwed and it took us liek 2hrs to kill it. What u need before fighting this monster is the inventory upgrade quest to hold more items. Then u need 6 strong melers to fight him, 6whm focusing one each one mele guy, and 6blm (all this ppl have to be the most 75-74 or else u won't have no chance a lvl lower then that. You need alot of potions that can cure alot of your health for the mele guys (incase whm have no more mp cause kirin will hurt u hard). Alot of exilars for whm abd blm.

you are the biggest liar i have ever seen, you say you've hunted him but you dont know he's a forced spawn, and you DEFINATELY dont have so many lvl 75 jobs, that is absolute bullsh*t and you suck.
Isnt it a forced spawn or did you wait hours for the trading point?

5 hours to spawn? Didn't fight him did you.
