Just solo'd this guy as a 65rdm/smn.pretty easy fight until I slept him and rested near a tiger not thinking so instead of regaining mp i had to fight><
at about 10-20% hp he spams WS mostly bad breath, luckly silence didnt last long. ut just a suggestion for solo peeps to bring some meds. cause eventually hell stick silence and para. and slow didnt seem to have an effect on his attack rate which leads me to believe he has a kraken club type att rather than a uber low delay. hope this funs someone and goodluck^^

I tried to solo this as a 75BRD but it didn't go well. I had buffs up and everything, but I guess I just kinda suck ><; Eventually I just had to lullaby it and teleport myself out. I had barely even taken a sliver off its health and it had me in the orange/near-red and I was out of mp.

This NM was a joke. Carby kited it til it was about 1/4 remaining, then got bored and went with Ifrit's Inferno for 986 dmg FTW.

Solo'd this last night as a 74WHM/37RDM [Well, with a few alterations to gear. Flame/Sniper Ring, Lifebelt, Willpower Torque]. Me and Leonock [74WAR] decided to do this for me and he told me to try and solo it. If I'm gonna die, he'll just pull it off me.
Buffed 300 TP and then full buffed with Protect IV, Shell IV, Stoneskin, Blink, Phalanx, Aquaveil, Haste, Enfire, Reraise II. Then medded and started. Hexa did from 500-800ish everytime, I got about 3-4 off before it died.
No hundred fists.. Just would flash it when stoneskin wore and recast, and then cast blink to help my stoneskin recast. Slow, Paralyze, Blind to kill his attack speed a little bit. [God, he hits fast].
Spammed Bad Breath on me towards the end. I didn't have echos and stoneskin went down. Atleast Bad Breath spam stopped him from attacking and silence wore pretty quick and was able to take it down.
I was all excited, but upon reading this I see a lot of people solo it. O:

Solo'ed as a 71THF/35NIN. As soon as I saw it use 100fists I casted Jubaku I had left in my inv. It was funny to see it paralyze every 5 strikes due to it's attack speed. Bad Breath will be used constantly at about 15% hp, so be warned.

I was walking to Jugner Forest from Central landing, finding my way through the tunnels when I saw a Malboro heading torwards me, blocking the whole tunnel opening. I thought, "Funny?, I've never seen a malboro in these parts befo...":: Overgrown Ivy does 67 damage. Overgrown Ivy does 70 damage:: as I was checking it to see that it's impossible to guage, I was a lv 56 rdm/nin at the time. I'm like sh*t sh*t. and try to outrun it to no avail as I equip my warp crudgel. Chainspell Utsu CureIV CureIV utsu then Sleep II It passed out and I got to a safe distance and activated my crudgel as I see it was now no longer asleep and racing towards me ... warped out just as it was almost upon me again. Jeez people don't leave those things laying around in an area where most mobs are around lv 20 hehe. I could just imagine a group of late teens/early 20s lving there and coming accross that thing. (Oh the horror) Sorry if it doesn't help, just had to share what happened. As least you know it's sleepable? /grin
Solo'd the Overgrown Ivy as 72MNK/WAR =) Nothing special... no items or anything, and no 2 hour. Just some decent defensive/evasive gear, and throw up buffs. I took around 900 damage, and had 100% Accuracy, 66% Evasion. The mob has around 4500 HP.
So yeah, just to prove it wrong about needing a lvl75 with NIN or WHM sub ;) Congrats to the person below that did it at 65 though =D

Hey I just fought this at lvl 65 Monk/32 Warrior. First I fought the mobs all around the NPC and built up my TP to 300% I did 3 boosts. I popped a Sole Sushi +1 just to gurantee my win. I then activated "Dodge" and "Focus". After that I spoke with the NPC to spawn the NM. I opened up with Raging Fists. It was swinging pretty fast so I immediately popped Hundred Fists. Then I went to clobbering. Everytime I got TP build to 100%, I popped Raging Fists. He hit me with weight, paralyze, and bind and one of the "down" effects, I think it was speed down. I just used that patern and eventually it died. I used "Chakra when I got to 516 HP. I walked away with my life in the red. But hey, I soloed that thing and passed the mission^^
I defeated him last night as lv 69 BST with Funguar Familiar.
I killed everything around the NPC to build TP for Funguar Familiar, once my Pet have 100TP I spawn him and used Sic, it just happen to be Numbshroom (paralyze), I don't know if that was the key, but he was fairly easy, he was at 5% HP when I reach 100TP myself and I just Rampage to finish him.

i just soloed it as lvl 65 rdm/blm. the key is blaze spikes. since it attacks so fast, blaze spikes deals a lot of damage to it fast. i just had to keep stoneskin + phalanx up. i had willpower torque and druid's rope so i have a lot of spell interruption resist +. i only had stoneskin interrupted once.
need at least 1 echo drop for bad breath but shouldnt be too hard. use drain to heal yourself.

The best part of Final Fantasy XI is its rich storyline. It separates this game from other MMORPGs. I chose to give my character a storyline that goes along with the game's storyline. I find that this is a more fun way to play the game. Playing the game just to fight in the endgame and collect elite equipment is very boring and is totally missing the main objective of the game, which is to guide your character through the storyline which is to save the world.
I managed to solo this NM as a SMN59/WHM. I went through 6 Carbys, doing Meteorite each time, then running away. I did get hit with some continuous breath attack once, but otherwise, I had no issues.
I cannot recommend this method unless you have Vermy+Light Staff+Carby mitts so that you are regenerating MP while battling. I was ready to 2hr if necessary, but without the MP regeneration, I would've exhausted my MP before the battle was over.
I didn't get any exp though, so I'm not sure whether this mob is at the level specified.

So it seems that it's a forced pop, and shouldn't just spawn, but I haven't quite gotten this far in CoP, so I don't know for sure. :P

Next go to Carpenter's Guild via the (E-6) Entrance Point in Jugner Forest.
Look for a NPC called Guilloud beside a boulder at (H-10).
Talking to him will spawn a Malboro mob named Overgrown Ivy. LV75 character with nin or whm sub should be sufficient to defeat it (watch out for it's Hundred Fist)

Is is absolutely certain this mob is lvl 60? seems kinda odd they would have a lvl 40 cap area for the previous mission and then make you fight a much higher lvl one.
Carpenter's Landing is not level capped, so you can do it an any level... :P
CoP Chapter 3 has been very talky and less fighting. I solo'd this thing and the entire chapter... well except Diabolos. :D
This guy is tough, but soloable.
I soloed as a 74BLM/WHM. Blink, stoneskin, protect before fight. I talked to NPC and spawned him. Slept him, then nuked. Then stun > sleep > nuke. I had to rest a few times. He has some nasty breath attacks.
Breaths give status effects. I got hit with a slow, blind, bind, and poison breath, which were pretty harmless. Then I got hit with a silence breath. I didn't have any echo drops on me. I thought I was pretty much screwed. I kited him for 10 seconds or so, then silence wore off (thank god).
I'd way 74+ with ninja sub (if melee) could solo him. RDM or BLM could

What landing does this thing spawn on?(North, Central, South) I farm tigers there often, but I've never seen a Marbol there >.<
To clear up any information, being said about this monster. I can promise you that this monster is apart of CoP in Chapter 3. The reason I know this informatio, is that I'm the one who took the picture. The only reason you may have found this monster with no one around, a party or someone must have been there recently and died.

hi, yea i killed this guy way back on first day of CoP english version... He was (too weak) to me figuring blizzard 3 took out a decent amount of hp, but i was exploring with my ls so they came shortly after i started fighting it and it was dead in the next 15 seconds.. ls=60+ and there was 6 people there....
soo.. like many others.. farming in the new area..
I was a level 61 monk at that time, I had theif sub. saw this thing from a distance, I checked it, he checked me, he started attacking me. I paniced, did my buffs while I'm getting my *** hit. pulled hundred fist... almost had him if I ate kabobs or had war sub.....
So.. I think the mob is about level 60-62? take or give...

I watched a level 74 RDM Solo it the RDM stopped hitting it and Vanished... like a GM even looked like he had the GM Sword... I Checked it and it Said he had some other Sword... Well, he also had RDM AF on... Well, he stops attacking it, Vanishes the NM had like 8/200 of its Health left I Decide, Hell lets see if my Water 2 Will Finish it (I was level 40-44 RDM or so at the Time) Well, someone else gets Aggroed I sit and Cast Stoneskin and Stuff I hit it... I cast Water 2 Prolly had like 1 HP left... hit me... Broke through my Stoneskin like it was a Twig and hit me in the Same blow... got me in 1 Hit!
FYI; he did a TP Move... and I prolly would have lived if I had 5 more HP...
Moral: Don't do what I did

I'd venture to guess that the RDM pulled the old (Chainspell) + (Warp).
saw a level 75 taru whm solo this thing, took him awhile and he struggled a bit but he killed it.
