BST level 23-24 can have a field day with these, just make sure there's nobody nearby when you take them down, and stay out of the blast radius.

If you look at the level spread, you'll see why some people have some difficulty with him, and others find him very easy.

i was grouping in valk as a 15 rdm, someone found one and called for help...10-15 people helped beat it down but it self destructed...more than half died (including myself), fairly amusing sight :)
Weak against what??

For some reason this little guy was tough for me. my 30BLM/15WHM was able to take it, but all my spells did jack. Water II did something like 75 dmg. I dont know if this guy was just really resistant to magic, but I should have been able to f*** him up. He con'd easy prey, but that meant nothing.

As funny as it sounds... bombs have always been weak to fire, at least in previous games. Just look at bomb rings.

i thought in most previous FF's fire healed them...doubt it happens here but i'd rather not find out :)
RE: Weak against what??

they are weak to fire in this game, and in all the ff's ive played before this one, fire did heal them ^^

on this site some of the bomb classes are listed as "weak to fire" for some reason some arent... but if you follow the story of will-o youll know he isnt a bomb...

i encountered this during the ecowarrior quest from sandy. it's self destruct killed 15 of the people in my alliance (we were all lvl 18-20 cuz of the lvl cap).

second time we came across it, we killed it easily.
not hard

#Anonymous, Posted: Feb 24 2004 at 6:51 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) My god, i watched an entire team of 17-19s take this thing on, then it self distructed, killing them all, do not attack this ******* unless you are lvl 35 or more i would suggest and dont team battle it at a low level...morons.
