  • Susceptible to Slow, Bind, and Stun.

Vodyanoi's Special Attacks

  • Stinking Gas - AoE Vitality Down effect (Circle of effect originates from mob).

  • Abyss Blast - Single target Darkness based magic damage with an additional Blind effect.

  • Acid Breath - Frontal cone AoE Water based magic damage with an additional Strength down effect.

Historical Information

In Slavic folklore, the Vodyanoi (also spelled Vodonoi, Wódjanoj, Vodyanoy) were male water spirits who could change form and were said to live in whirlpools or underwater palaces made from materials salvaged from sunken ships. The most common form they took was an old man with a green beard and covered in muck. Many drownings were attributed to Vodyanoi. The bodies would not be retrieved out of fear it would anger the Vodyanoi by taking his "spoils" from him. Locals appeased Vodyanoi by giving them the first fish caught or pouring butter in the water.

War Hose

This guy also drops the level 50 RDM JSE leg piece War Hose. I got them last night while camping him trying to get the NIN legs piece. At level 51 he gave me 36 exp, so he's basically EP, plus the extra levels an NM is normally granted to make him more difficult (he was certainly a longer fight than EPs typically are for me).

He only hit me twice, once between shadows castings, but did not interrupt me, and that hit was for 60, and again later with a TP attack that went through my shadows though I didn't lose any. That hit was for 36. Other than that, he never touched me.

I got him by taking the barge from North Landing off of North Sandy at 17:00. When I got dumped at the next Landing, I immediately got back on the barge. When it took off again at a little after 00:00, he had spawned as soon as the area zoned in. He was facing me but didn't aggro me.

Fishing has zero to do with finding this guy. He is purely a normal mob pop on the boat (well, as normal as any NM can be), and since he's undead, he pops at night.

In regards to what I wrote above at this point: "I got him by taking the barge from North Landing off of North Sandy at 17:00. When I got dumped at the next Landing, I immediately got back on the barge." I left out a drop. Get on at 17:00 on North Landing, get dropped off. Get back on, get dumped again. Get right back on, and then I found the mob. Sorry about that.

Got this guy today and killed him as a 55PLD/15THF and 54WHM/27BLM while we were doing the Tea with a Tonberry quest. He spawned at the end of the South Landing to Central Landing via Newtpool ride and a THF got him, but couldn't kill him before the boat docked. She disappeared before the next ride, but we got back on in hope that he would still be there. (this time it was the Emfea boat.) He was, yay!

So I cast Flash on him fast and grabbed him^^ My bf, (WHM) only had 100 mp left so he rested while I fought it, and joined in towards the end with Banish and Erase.

Attacks he used:
-Stinking Gas--AOE (not party-specific)VIT down
-Abyss Blast--Physical Dmg (looks a lot like Dimensional Death)and blindness.
-Call of the Grave--AOE (not party-specific) INT down
-Whip Tongue--Physical Dmg
-Undead Mold--Disease (A lot like the Exorays' Spore attack)

He also used Blood Weapon, but Invincible took care of that.^^ He hit me on average for about 30-40 dmg and I was hitting for 50-60, but he has a lot of hit points(I'd estimate over 4k). We were kinda afraid we wouldn't be able to finish him off before we docked. It took us about 5 minutes of the 7 minute ride to kill him. But without Invincible to counteract Blood Weapon, we may not have managed to win.

In the end, we got 12 exp and a pair of Nokizaru Hakama! /cheer Now to figure out what to do with them...only two pairs total sold on Unicorn so far. Great rush, though^^

Yay! Got him again.. this time i got the drop.
definatly on the Emfea route, same as last time. His job is drk and uses "Blood Weapon" (which btw looks hilarious because he only hits you with his tongue, he kinda licks you to death :D)

He spawned near the end of the barge trip this time. This time i had full hp, lol. I was 55mnk/17thf, he was pretty easy to me... ended fight w/ more than half hp, and never used 2hr, food etc.

I just killed this baddie! I boarded the barge, and when i unzoned he was already beating on me. By the time i got dodge, focus, and hundred fist going, i had 2/3 hp left (55mnk/war btw).

The fight ended with him diseasing me, and came down to who would get the last hit... i popped counterstance, and walked away with 13hp and still diseased.

No Drop :/ but hell of a fight. (Monk)(excitement)(Do you need any help?)

P.S. he was on the south landing >>> central landing route.

Not to focus on the wrong point but i just looked up that tonberry in the back and he is unlisted. I was just wondering if anyone could get a bio of him for the site.

Well spent over 5 real life hours riding barges trying to figure this guy out.....this picture and those rides being the only things of clues..... I noticed look at the tonbery in the picture. On the three posible barge rides you can take the only one that a tonbery on the left is the pne to north landing..... Just a thought hope it helps^^

Deleted what I wrote previously..

I found this timer over at the Carpenter's Landing Page:

South Landing to North Landing:
5:40 boarding
6:30 departure
12:50 arrival

South Landing to Central Landing via Emfea:
13:40 boarding
14:20 departure
18:00 arrival

South Landing to Central Landing via Newtpool:
0:21 boarding
1:00 departure
4:50 arrival

North Landing to Central Landing:
19:00 boarding
19:40 departure
23:30 arrival

This thing is undead and therefore only spawns at night, so the only two times you could ride the ferry and see it are:

North >>> Central at 19:00
South >>> Central (newtpool) at 0:21

I believe Roi is only on the North >>> Central route.

HELP!!!
# Jan 13 2005 at 1:53 PM Rating: Decent
I am out of ideas with this one...I have spent 12 game hours on the boat. I have also tried fishing to no avail. There have only been 2 found on Unicorn to date. If anyone has any information PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!
HELP
# Dec 22 2004 at 2:54 AM Rating: Decent
I really want that Hamaka, I've been up and down too many times to count, I haven't been fishing tho.

But I have a theory, on some of the rides an NPC (elvaan in carpenter's arpon) the will fish once, sometimes getting a mob, others not. But maybe he has to fish it up in the newt pool. I don't know.

If anyone has any new info PLEASE post it ><;
I want thos pants ; ;
Not fished
# Dec 15 2004 at 3:07 PM Rating: Decent
It spawned on me without fishing. I had less than a minute to kill it (before the barge landed) and barely took any life off. It never hit me though so I don't know how hard it would be. I was a 61 PLD at the time.

I sent in a pic of it, but I guess they did not get it.

Well....i don't know why i asked where it spawns cuz i am pretty sure it's like the sea horror on the ship from selbina to mhaura. just have to ride back and forth til it spawns. otherwise it would say Carpenters landing not the channel.

I'm 90% sure he spawns in Newt Pool. The NPC makes reference to a "blue/gray thingy with triangle head and 4 burning red eyes" lurking in the pool.

Have yet to get him to spawn though >< Have tried sinking minnow and fly lure. I would think fly lure will get him.. gonna keep trying ><

I suspect when riding through newt pool to be the best bet to catch this guy, you'll probably get it by frog fishing. I am gonna try this today, hopefully I can get a high level fisher to join,
If anyone else finds any info on this guy, please post.
dont know
# Nov 17 2004 at 6:58 PM Rating: Decent
Not sure how to make it spawn but im going to go check this guy out b/c the item is going for a lot on pheonix
How?
# Oct 11 2004 at 5:53 PM Rating: Decent
Does anyone know how to get this guy to spawn. What route do i need to take down the Channel, does he need to be fished, and are there any certain conditions. Any info would help very much.

I have been up and down that Channel with no luck. Any help would be awsome (^_^)b.
