<~ Was murdered TWICE by this damn NM. Took me 3 tries to get my mask for my AF >.< Never wanna fight him again. ^^;;;;;;
I killed this guy last night with a couple of jps... the pt setup was 75nin/war, 70+ whm/blm, 61drk/thf (me), and a 53 rdm/blm. This guy was a mean sob.... his aga spells burned threw shadows like a hot knife threw butter and he spamed Dimensional Death quite a bit. The battle was going well until he 2hred.... needless to say he went threw shadows fast but it was ok cause the nin was kiting him ^^. In the end we won with no deaths, though i took a DD near the end and went into orange hp with 1 hit..... (damn guilotine ^^). I'm uber happy now cause i have full whm and drk af ^^.

A few months ago, after a failed attempt to fight him full on in a regular fashion, I asked a 61RDM friend to help me zone-kite him.
It was a fairly easy job, He just likes to regen his HP fast, There is no links on the way to zone. A JP 75RDM offered help when he was about half HP, He went down in about 2-3hours of kiting total. We had 4 deaths in this time, never losing aggro on him. The 75RDM died once, I died once(as 60WHM) and the 61RDM died once. To finish him off, a party of 74WHM 75WAR and 75NIN offered us help when he was at about 1-2%HP, and our 75RDM was dead.

I was accompanied by a 75SMN/37WHM who soloed the entire mob. Sei is the player's name on Remora.
Thank you Sei... <3

So it's possible for me to bring 5 Lv 75's along with myself and kill this bad boy?
What would you reccomend for a party setup?
PLD,DRK,RNG,RNG,WHM,(me WHM)?
I was told this didn't require an alliance and from reading lots of people's posts they have all brought like 10+ people, I would think the smaller the party the better. I will try this party make up and hopefully all goes well.

I'm the other BST from the duo with Bullet that killed this guy a while back. I never really responded with the story because I was unable to come up with words to accurately express how amazing the experience was.
I do have one thing to add that may be helpful to normal parties that attempt to do this NM, however.
One of the beliefs I had going into this fight is that a large reason why he's so difficult for many people is that they take an alliance to fight him, resulting in massive amounts of TP generation and of course Dimensional Death spamming and tank death. So I thought that, if we were just two BST throwing jugs at him, it'd be no problem and we could alternate Courrier Carries, kiting him around with the indigenous mobs in the meantime when Call Beast was down.
It turns out that his DD usage is not gated by his TP. It is really quite true that he SPAMS DD. Many times he'd DD two or three times in a row on the same pet. Carrie could only sustain that many before dying, and a solid DD would one-hit pretty much all the charmables in the zone, though the ~55 bats could probably survive one.
So my point to those of you who are trying this is, do not make assumptions about DD being gated on TP. The ability is just part of his attacking and he'll spam it like crazy even if only one person is hitting him.
If you are a BST or a small party looking for specific advice on how we managed to defeat him, please ask here and then send me a PM so I can know I have to look and provide a response. :)

ok, well i was so afraid of this guy but he really wasn't as bad as i thought he was going to be.
OK so we did this fight 4 times with 12 people of the following jobs:
69 War
59 Whm
59 Whm
65 Pld
57 Whm <--me
61 Rng
58 Rdm
75 Nin
58 Whm
61 Drg
55 Blm
64 Drg
well, first fight the war died, unfortunatly he wasn't in my pt and i couldn't tab onto him quick enough to throw out a Cure IV (even though his pt did have 2 whm's in it, how they didn't cure him i'm not sure but, whatever)
ok, so after the first fight we lost the lvl 75 nin so the pld ended up being main tank for the other 3 fights. at the end of each fight i had plenty of MP left (except for 1 i ran out right at the end of the fight).
all in all i'd say it was fairly easy and definatly not as scarry as i thought i was going to be. Dimensional Death was NOT as bad as i thought it was going to be at all and if you have good mages no one should die and if anyone does it should only be 2 people 3 max. (at least that's my opinion)

I'm wondering if a 75 Red mage subbed Ninja can solo this mob? anyone got a clue? He's a Taru that soloed the bird NM for the Samurai (Which a 60+ Pld, Blm, Sam, 50+ Whm, Sam x2 died for)afII and a air elemental (that poped outta nowhere) and ended up with nearly full hp.

Meeeh, thats crazy. I soloed that bird at 65ish (smn/whm) and it only took me about 10-20 mins also. I would "guess" that a rdm/nin could if the whm stayed out of AoE Sleepga range and was ready to cure when needed and the rdm was good at their job. I'm hopeing to try and solo him soon in a lvl or 2 (atm 72smn/whm). GL with your new AF piece and let me know how the rdm goes ~.^ .

This bad boy was no probem. Me and 2 other whms got a full alliance together. We had about 6-7 plds. We fought this thing 3 times, but only lost 2 players throughout all 3. We then proceeded to help all those plds get their item in Davoi....fun...
Killed this NM as BST/whm 63, BST/whm 63 and WHM/smn 55-60ish. On Phoenix
Suffice it to say, it took a loooong time and we had quite a few deaths. At one death I HPed back to jueno to get supplies while the other BSt kited him around the zone.
This was probably the most insane thing I have done yet in this game.
good job to Suji, he was the leader for this fight and he did an outstanding job.
At the end I had gotten seperated from the others and the NM charged at me. He got Sleep on me with red health and as he ran to me, he died from Dia 2.
Grats to Zilent on getting the mask for AF

We did this fight 4 times. I was the only pld, We had 2 monks&drg that did hella damage jacko and jebo, this helped a lot. I parsed the battles, it this mob has roughly 20k hp. He does curse, sleepga 2; and did aspir on me at begining of each fight, ack!! We were successfull but had a few deaths. Make sure you bring a full alliance of 58+ AT LEAST. We killed miser murphy on the way ... he was pretty bad too...

lol i was in Fei'Yin with 2 friends to do bcnm 40 yestarday, and i saw some guys fighting this NM, was kinda lika, WTF?!?! O_o, hehe, i was just standing there and watching like a fool. then while i was watching his name turned from purple to white, then i reallized i wasin danger cause it passed by me and if it would aggro me i was dead meat XD. hehe. thanks god it didn't!
Just did this with a friend, alliance of 56-73, i hardly did much and he hit me with Dimensional death for 912. almost died. what level is this guy?
Bring poison potions. First time we did it, we got sleepga'd, 3 died. Second time, each of us had poison potions. Piece of cake.
I just fought him last night with a full alliance we had a level 63 Pld as tank.
This was our party setup:
We had 4 white mages (52-63), two mnks (60+), two smn (58 & 74), one blm (59), one rng (62), one drk (58), two rdm (57 & 60), 3 Pld (57,58,53), two war (57+).
We had to fight him twice and the battle went rather smoothly. Hate was taken off of the tank by the mnks though but all the white mages kept everyone alive.
To be honest, I would have to say that he is totally over rated. But I highly recommend bringing along a smn for the party with the main tank. Blink and stoneskin for everyone is very helpful. If you follow this tactic have all the higher level people who could pull hate be in that party also. But as long as you have enough healers this isn't a tough fight at all. ^^
No one died and his Dimensional Death didn't do as much damage as people stated when it did actually hit our tank. I know my party set up didn't have a lot of Damage Dealers but he still went down fast. Oh and the Smns used Ifrit during the battle which worked rather well due to his weakness to fire. Well anyway Good luck all. ^^ And don't let the posts intimidate you.

I just fought him with a full alliance from 52-68. We fought him a total of 5 times and it was fairly easy. He does spam dimensional death but if your healers or on their toes he shouldnt be a problem. We only had 4 deaths out of the five fights, none of which were the mages.
Just dont get too Fei'yin and forget your bell like me. lol

Anyone know if Magic attacks give tp to the baddy? if so, is it as much as a melee? if not, does it sound wise to have 2 or 3 blms to nuke the SOB and not get 20-25 dimensional deaths as one poster noted?

We went in and fought this with a full alliance (18 people) for 3 white mages that needed it, and a 75 white mage. A 71 PLD tried to tank it, but it just became fun -- Which melee could deal enough damage to get hate and die? The rangers all saved up 300 TP and sidewinder >> barrage, trying to get hate, just for bragging rights. Raise 3 is a beautiful thing. This battle isn't too hard if your Damage Dealers let the tank do its thing, but loss of hate usually results in death. (On a ranger/black mage, 1 Dimensional Death is K/O...on a monk, 2 DD + 2 attacks = death...others somewhere in between). We counted, he used 20-25 Dimensional Death per fight. Fights lasted 2-3 minutes.
I'm hoping you're exaggerating... Once every 7 seconds?
