General Information

    • Respawn time is approximately 21 to 24 hours after its last Time of Death.

  • Will periodically shift into different "stances", denoted by the bats' position arrangement.

    • In its initial, V-shaped stance, Tres Duendes behaves like a normal "Triple Bats" type mob.

    • In its vertical alignment stance, Tres Duendes gains a 100% Triple Attack rate per attack round.

    • In its horizontal alignment stance, Tres Duendes' attack speed decreases, but its attack power increases.

  • Susceptible to Bind, Gravity, and Lullaby.

Tres Duendes' Special Attacks

  • Jet Stream - Single target three-hit physical damage.

  • Sonic Boom - AoE Attack Down effect (Circle of effect originates from mob).

  • Slipstream - AoE Accuracy Down effect (Circle of effect originates from mob).

  • Turbulence - AoE Wind based magic damage (Circle of effect originates from mob).

  • Train Fall - Single target Drain effect.

    • Is only capable of performing Train Fall in its vertical alignment stance.

  • Knife Edge Circle - Frontal cone AoE physical damage with additional Stun and Poison effects.

    • Is only capable of performing Knife Edge Circle in its horizontal alignment stance.

Historical Information

A duende is a fairy- or goblin-like mythological creature of Spain, Portugal, and Spanish-speaking areas of America, though analogues of the duende appear in Danish, French, Irish, Welsh, Swedish, and Scottish folklore as well.

In Hispanic folklore of Central America and the American Southwest, Duendes are known as gnome like creatures who live inside the walls of homes, especially in the bedroom walls of young children. They attempt to clip the toenails of unkempt children, often leading to the mistaken removal of entire toes. They also to be known for taking items from young children.

In Spanish, the word Tres means the number three.

As such, Tres Duendes would mean Three Fairies or Three Goblins

Dagger

did CoP 2-3 a week ago with the liinkshell,
and after we owned the minotaur, I (the only rng in the pt) widescaned and tracked this guy down, a succesful carby pull, we pulled him and killed him with a pt of 12 and its trubulance dropped about 6 members, so i guarantee he is a heavy hitter, this was when he had like no HP and then i Eagle Eye Shot the carp out of him, and he dropped the dagger and claws, Me and our mnk got the prizes, rare/ex dagger looks like a crossbreed of hawkers and trailers kukri. nice addition to my ******* of Fransisca, Chiroptera and Hornetneedle

Our party of 6 killed this tonight. NIN, DRG, RNG, RDM, BLM, WHM (All Lvl 40, of course). We used Shadowbind on the bats, then killed the fomor first -- very smooth fight. Unfortunately, absolutely nothing dropped, not even a single bat wing.

pt of 9 killed it - bst - mnk - nin - brd - thf - rng - whm - rdm

kill the pet formor first. he's a blm job. he's much weaker than the bat, he's around level 45 because he used stun. use bst jugs and smn avatars to hold off the bat while you beat the formor up. the formor will die quickly.

once the blm pet is down, the hard part of the battle is done. the bat is around level 48-50 and has a lot of evasion. he spams sonic boom, got jetstream, and has another ability that is AOE accuracy down. being whm i ended up just making them live with the attack down effect due to the long cooldown timer of erase and i had to keep the focus on ninja tank.

the nm is not partied with any formor. just wait til its near the hallway (where its safe), and the other formors are away. the chances of unpartied formors of linking is not as high as the partied ones.

the nm dropped the nin katana, which in my opinion is highly overrated. the dagger is the much better drop but he did not drop that.
got him tonight

Tried to take them with a pt of 5, nin, nin, rng/nin, rng/nin, and me whm. Didn't pull far enough into the cave, fomor monk linked and destroyed us. However before we died we got the amoroso dead. Reraised, one of the nins was fed up and tired and went to hp, but after finally raising everyone again, we took on the bats, (amoroso didn't respawn, which I believe may be why some people find just the bats). I made the rngs take it slow, and it wasn't a hard fight at all, Barrage + EES from 2 rngs at the end to finish him. Dropped the Chiroptera, nin won the lot, which is good since rngs have hawkers anyway! The knife is def for the non-Hawkers jobs that use ranged attacks. An easy fight with a nin tank and patience.

Oh yeah his specials: standard Jet Stream, also a move called Slipstream that is AoE and lowers Acc, and finally Turbulence which is AoE dmg and I think lowered evasion? Jet Stream only did ~110 dmg to a 40 nin, so he's not that much of a heavy hitter. As whm I was able to stick paralyze, slow, and of course dia 2. Happy hunting! and don't link the whole room when ya pull.

Tres Duendes...
This is a strange NM. It's a BST -BUT- The Tri-Bat is the NM and the Fomor is the Pet! This thing has the potential of killing an entire alliance, if you dont know how to kill it!
SpawnPoint: (D-4) - Second map
STRATEGY:
When you pull it, watch out for the 5 other Fomor in the Spawn room. They are in a party and will wipe you out, I dont care if you have a 18 person alliance or not, there's always a ******** in the PT, and that will ***** it all up. The NM itself and the Black Mage placeholder are not part of the 5-Fomor party. Beware when pulling, again. When you manage to pull the duo, have everyone target the fomor, or have 1 person distract the bat while everyone else targets the fomor. The faster this fomor is dead, the better. It spams AoE's that get rid of anyone's blink really quick.
I was in an alliance when I wasn't too experienced on this NM, we all targeted the bat, thinking it was the pet, the AoE's tore us apart. Later, about a week after this, my awesome LS and I went to kill it, 5 people. I shadowbound the Bat, and we proceded to kill off the fomor. our Monk Hundred Fists, that made it drop fast, just in time for my shadowbind to wear off. After this, we were safe to Utsusemi up and just had a long battle killing off the bat, trading hate. We didnt even have a tank for this, just a bunch of DD w/ NIN subbed. I think that was best so one person didnt have all the hate. When it died, I got my treasure - Chiroptera Dagger. Lv. 38 Rng Acc. +12. Just like a Hawker's +1 w/out the AGI and CHR buffs. It also drops Drain Claws (HP Regen) and the Niokiyotsuna katana (Triple Attack %+). This is an easy NM if you know what your doing, but it's funny that it was so hard for us before my LS's trip.
The spawntime I'm not sure of though, it seemed to be up every other day, since I spent a week going down there every night. I've never actually camped it, but it's placeholder when not up is a "Fomor Black Mage". Maybe killing this a few times provokes it's spawn? It's possible since the BLM is never there when the NM spawns.
Good Luck!

Do you find this by aimlessly wadering? Or are they on the path to the Minotaur? Basically I'm not real familiar with this area so is there a direction we should be headed to run across this NM? And anyone figure out the spawn?

they are in the room where the grouped DRK, NIN, RNG and SAM fomor spawn, with ungrouped MNK and BLM fomors.

Tres Duendes means three gnomes, or three elfs (like those who help Santa) in Portuguese, tough the correct spelling is Três Duendes, maybe it's in Spanish wich is a simillar language

... the hell you say. ^^

Tres Duendes is Spanish, and translates literally to "Three Charmers". The word Amoroso is also Spanish, and is means "lover" (male).

So the Tres Duendes are three charmers and the Amoroso is their boy-toy. ...meaning that Square has intentionally put beastiality into their games. Oh yes.

What I said was not in Spanish, but in Portuguese and in Portuguese it means what I said it means earlier.
From a very notorius Brazilian dictionary.

Duende: S.m. 1.Entidade fantástica ou espírito sobrenatural que se acreditava aparecer de noite nas casas, fazendo travessuras. 2.Ser mágico do folclore que ajuda Papai Noel a fazer seus brinquedos.

Translating...

Male Substantive 1. Fantastic entity or supernatural spirit that was belived to appear at night inside the houses, making tricks. 2.A folcklore magical being that helps Santa Claus make his toys.

Phomiuna Aqueducts??? A Promathia area right? What is the level cap there? Now since the item is Rare/Ex I suppose its IMPOSSIBLE for me to acquire the item since I cannot enter the area cause I don't have the expansion... I wonder could I be in a party with someone who has the expansion and have them acquire the knife for me? then lot for it outside the area?

Buy the expansion pack and camp this yourself you cheap, lazy ****. God, some people...

Nope. When you leave an area, everything in the treasure pool goes bye-bye.

Nice try, though. :P

Additionally, to get to the Phomiuna Aqueducts, someone would have to have access to them, which means they'd have to have beaten all three Promyvions (no mean feat), and accepted the next mission in Tavnazia. So even if someone could try and do that for you, they have to zone across several areas to get to you... you wouldn't be able to just wait outside. :P
NM
# Jan 04 2005 at 9:09 AM Rating: Decent
This NM is pretty easy, I'd recommend only NIN tank for this. The BLM escort is about 1 SC worth of damage, so just get TP shadowbind Tres, SC the BLM escort, wait for Tres to come in and just take him easy.
Killed him 2 times, once with 5 people.
Both times Vampiric claws dropped.
level capped
# Jan 03 2005 at 12:22 PM Rating: Excellent
We tried to attack this NM, with a SMN, RNG, WHM, PAL, and it was very difficult. Three tries all fails. Due to this area being level capped, you can't just walk in with a high level friend and 0wnzor this NM. This NM does have a Taru-blmage pet that will chain cast all over the place. (it particularly likes -ga spells) Thankfully the Taru-pet can be silenced. I would not suggest trying this NM unless you had a full party or 8-10 person alliance (just to be certain)

Bueno Suerte con los Tres Duendes!
hhhmmm

what lvl is this guy?

do you think a lvl 54mnk could solo him if not could a 54 mnk with a 54 SMN and 55 pld solo him?

sorry, but it doesnt matter if you are 75mnk and 75pld, you will be capped as 40mnk 40pld >_< so no, you would not be able to solo it, as it fights as an IT+ (maybe IT++ depending on party/alliance setup)
drops?
# Jan 01 2005 at 8:21 PM Rating: Decent
mite there be something more to the weapons than just combat... i.e. a quest, as if the drop rate is definite then mite be like aspir dagger and the shield thingy that drops in Giddeus?

Just a thought
RE: drops?
# Jan 02 2005 at 4:23 AM Rating: Decent
As far as I know, there are no dropped items that rely on an active quest, only key items. I know for certain that the Aspir Knife and Parana Shield that you mentioned drop every time, regardless of quest status.
or maybe

Or maybe he got more than one drop cause he had more than one person in the party. Ever give people the benefit of the doubt?
#REDACTED, Posted: Dec 31 2004 at 11:42 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I killed it 8 times so far and it only drops one at a time. Sort of like Juu Zuu the Whirlwind. If one drops, it won't drop the other two. So you're either lying, or the drop rate/method was changed.

Just killed this NM last night with an Alliance of 8... 1 NIN/WAR, 1RNG/NIN, 1 BLM/WHM, 2BRD/WHM, and 3 WHM/BLM. Fight was easy for an NM, we all expected it to be a lot harder...

they hit a level 40 capped rng for about 60-90 points... one thing I noticed... this is such an awesomly cool NM, it is three bats, yes, but not like normal ones, they have a swooping attack, and they also change formation. they have really nice animation and it was a fun fight. We re there for awhile though... and no Amoroso ever popped... I was not quite sure what happened to it. Also... we didnt get any EXP or drops... which I found rather unusual... but the nm was at full hp, and never seemed to use a 2hour...

I'm wondering what job this NM is, and what happens concerning the drops/exp and if there is a way to change it. judging from its lotto... I would say the NM is a BLM... but if the NM is actually the Bats, and not the amoroso... what does that make the placeholder?

If anyone has any ideas or theories on this please feel free to PM me or post back!

(I'm kinda wondering if the Bats are BST-type job and charm the placeholder or something... either way, it's gotta be an interesting explaination behind it.)

Killed this NM again the next day after last post... Amoroso was there with it that time. It spams level 2 -aga spells, and we were unable to silence it. We took both mobs down with 5 people: NIN/WAR, RNG/NIN, BRD/WHM, WHM/BLM, WHM/BLM

I soloed Amoroso as RNG/NIN with the debuffs and cures from one of the WHMs, the BRD NIN and other WHM pulled the Bats back to the hallway and fought it there. Several close calls, but all in all a really fun fight. Important NOT to have a NIN tank the Amroso... He will be utterly useless... then dead as is spams -aga magic burning all shadows.

Claws and Dagger dropped, I got dagger and the NIN got the claws.

Also... this NM seems to be a 24 hour spawn... as its been there the same time every day for 3 days straight.
