General Information

Jormungand's Spawn Location
Jormungand's Spawn Location

  • Spawn time is 72-120 hours after the last ToD, or 36-72 hours after a server maintenance when the servers are offline. Thirty minute intervals between each window.

  • Susceptible to Sleep, Stun, Slow, and Elegy. Immune to Lullaby and Silence. Resistant to Paralysis.

  • Every minute, Jormungand will fly into the air, where he'll stay for approximately 30 seconds before coming to the ground again. During this time, melee attacks will have no effect on him (magic and ranged attacks can still affect him though). While he's in the air, his normal attacks are magical, ice based attacks that cannot be absorbed by shadows, but can be reduced by damage reduction, magic defense, magic reduction, and ice resist effects (through gear, spells, job abilities, etc). While he is in the air, he cannot be slept (Sleep will land on him, but it will wear off immediately)

  • When his hp reaches below 30%, Jormungand will begin to increase the rate of his tp moves considerably. Extreme caution is recommended during the last 30% of his hp.

  • Has a draw-in effect.

  • Has an auto-regen effect that cannot be dispelled.

  • Grants title: World Serpent Slayer

Jormungand Special Abilities

  • Blizzaga III: AoE Ice based magical spell (AoE circle originates from the spell target).

  • Ice Spikes: Inflicts Ice based magical damage against all that melee Jormungand. Ice damage can inflict paralysis. Effect can be dispelled.

  • Paralyga: AoE Paralyze spell (AoE circle originates from the spell target)

  • Bindga: AoE Bind spell (AoE circle originates from the spell target)

  • Horrid Roar: Single target full Dispel and Enmity reset effects.

  • Absolute Terror: Single target Terror effect. Target is unable to perform any action until effect wears off.

  • Gregale Wing: AoE magical damage with an additional Paralysis effect.

  • Glacial Breath: Cone AoE Ice based damage. Damage is the strongest on anyone directly in front of Jormungand. Recommended for all tanks to stand on Jormungand's front legs to reduce damage taken.

    • Jormungand will only perform Glacial Breath while on the ground.

  • Touchdown: AoE damage. Wipes shadows. Tp move is performed when Jormungand lands on the ground after being in the air.

  • Sleet Blast: Strong AoE Ice based magic damage.

    • Jormungand will only perform Sleet Blast while in the air.

  • Spike Flail: Massive AoE physical damage. Absorbed by three shadows. Will only occur when a character has drawn hate from behind it.

    • Jormungand cannot perform Spike Flail while in flight.

  • Blood Weapon: Restores hp to Jormungand equal to the amount of damage he inflicts with each melee attack. At approximately 85% hp, Jormungand will begin to use this ability, and will often use it once after each time in the air. Denoted by the characteristic mob two-hour animation.

    • Jormungand will not perform Blood Weapon while in the air.

Note: All AoE moves will hit anyone within range, regardless if they or their alliance has hate on Jormungand or not.

  • Jormungand possesses the same abilities as his full strength counterpart in Uleguerand Range, though has a decidedly lower amount of HP.

Historical Background

In Norse mythology, Jormungand (originally spelled Jormungandr) was the middle offspring of the prankster god Loki and the giantess Angrboda. His siblings were the wolf monster Fenrisulfr (see Fenrir Prime) and Hel, the future ruler of the underworld that would bear the same name.

Soon after birth, Odin hurled Jormungandr into the ocean that surrounded Midgard (the human world), where it grew so large that its body encircled the whole of the Earth, eventually biting hold of its own tail. Because of this, Jormungandr also became known as Midgardsormr, the Midgard Serpent (also known as the World Serpent, hence the reason that defeating Jormungand grants the title of World Serpent Slayer)

During the Ragnarok (see Ragnarok), the thunder god Thor met Jormungandr in battle and slew him, only to succumb to the monster's poison and die after only taking nine steps.

Curious why he's listed as fire based, dropping fire crystals and strong against fire when fire is the least resisted nuke against him, he drops ice crystals, all his tp attacks and spells are ice based, and he spawns in the iciest place in the game.

Anyway under 25% he starts spamming tp attacks more often, including his use of Horrid Roar three times in a row when he decides to use it. This move wipes all buffs including food and resets hate, which can really ***** things up if you aren't careful. Para-wing is a pain in the butt, and flail is more likely under 25% due to the roar spam ******** up hate.
Downed with 12 people.

Jormy doesn't have a 'god' mode, he just spike flails massive AoE 2kish damage if anyone behind him has hate when he gets TP.

Hehe, Jormy's not that bad, there's a BST and SMN LS on my Server who's taken him down a few times, I know the leader, and my LS takes him down on occasion, all he really is is money drops so a lot of the HNM LS's on my server dont go after him, they live in Attowha Chasm and Dragons Aery

This guy has True Sight, I walked by him with S/I and even Deodorize. He made a hostile intent to me and Carbuncle took after him, I hit my warp scroll but it didn't go, so I did it again and he hit me for 371 through a fresh stoneskin. Very scary.

I'm beginning to wonder if 4 ores is standard. We've killed him twice now and always get four ores.

By the way... the spectator seats at a Jormungand fight are expensive. Expensive as in... he has some crazy freakin' HUGE AoE attack that took me from full HP of 719 w/ Blink+stoneskin+P2+shellra to... zero. So, if you are gunna watch, be prepared to die. Another guy in my pt died too watching not long after I did, and he was further back than I was. We are talking that he was barely at the distance where Jormungand can be seen.

You have been warned! ^^

Spike Flail is probably the move you ate. Tiamat can hit people for as much as 3K with this move, and although Jorm is not as high a level, I am sure he can easily break 2K with it.

Spike Flail does in fact have an exceptionally wide AoE, and a wyrm does this move if somebody behind it has hate when it has the TP to do it. It also affects people outside the party fighting the wyrm.
#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 20 2006 at 6:18 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Then you need to learn how to cap your stoneskin, because I helped kill him last night and if you were at the distance in which you would barely see him, you wouldn't even get hit. If you were within range, then Touchdown or Blizzga shouldn't kill you either. A couple other moves are worse, but only when it's almost dead and spams.

Stoneskin is more affected by MND than Enhancing magic. 3 Enhancing Magic = 1 MND. Cap is 350, as you approach the cap, the equation is:
Enhancing Magic/3 + MND - 190 = Stoneskin HP

If you happen to get Stone Gorget, that adds another 30 HP to Stoneskin, making the max 380.

Hehe... here's my take on spectator seats... they SUCK! I saw tons of 75 JPs running past my exp pt tonight so I figured this big guy must be up and roaming the land. So, after the pt breaks I sneak up and Tonko, and have me a little walk in the park... Not knowing exactly where to go, I still managed to find my way to this resident bad ***... Thought I'd play it safe and sit back and snap a few shots from a distance... but I couldnt see the name in the pics so I decided... what the hell, lets take a closer look at him... BIIIIIGGGGG MISSSSTAKE!

He casted Stun, which one of my shadows ate, then I tried to run... Khimari is drawn in... hell noo....

Jormungand misses Khimari...

1 of Khimari's Shadows absorbs the damage and disappears...

Khimari uses Flee...

Khimari is drawn in...

Jormungand misses Khimari...

Jormungand casts frost...

1 of Khimari's Shadows absorbs the damage and disappears...

Khimari is drawn in....

Jormungand misses Khimari...

Jormungand misses Khimari...

Jormungand casts Blizzaga III...

Khimari takes 982 damage...

Khimari was defeated by Jormungand.

Khimari remembers that he's a thief...

Khimari curses that he didn't {Steal} {Mug} Jormungand...

#REDACTED, Posted: Sep 29 2005 at 3:10 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) anyone got any info on this guy besides the hes tough my ls fought his last night like 36 of us we were not prepared when someone pulled him, what i know of him is that he pulls u in like most wyern, ur add party needs acouple stunners for the bombs we didnt have enough and our add alliance kept getting killed due to stun recast time, when jormy is flying u can not do damage to him. u need alot of damage dealers up for thsi guy, when u fight him if u dont have rr gorget or something to that effect be prepared to eat some r1's, oh and getting to him is half the fun i love true sight mobs. idk if he is as tough as vtra but this nm being ice based and deing in a double ice environment all the time adds to his toughness, not to mention my ls decided to fight him on iceday ya smart idea.

Vrtra is 10+ lv above Jörmungandr... he wouldn't even be able to score a hit on her :-\
RE: Mhmmm...
# Sep 07 2005 at 11:49 PM Rating: Default
Vrtra Jormungand and Tiamat are all the same levels, but they sure as hell arent lv80.

1v1 Jormungand or Tiamat would own Vrtra up hardcore...Vrtra itself is insanely weak, the only things that make it hard are it's location plus its summons.

In actual strength, from strongest to weakest

Tiamat > Jormungand > Vrtra
