Serket Special Attacks
Historical InformationIn Egyptian mythology, Serket was the goddess of scorpions, often taking the form of one, or when it suited her, the form of a woman with a scorpion on her head. She was able to dissipate the effects of any poison, not limited to snake bites and scorpion stings, and was capable of protecting her kinsmen from the venomous excretions of mythical creatures. As such, she was often called upon to guard the serpent god Apophis whenever the great beast was captured.

The other day i was in Garlaige alone, nobody camping serket but he was up there running around. So i cast Silence on him & trained him round & round & round the big rock as i sent /tells to my friends to come & help, then 5 other of my friends came & was all good.
He did manage to land Bindga on me once, but 1 Stun managed to stun him for 4 seconds, enough time for me to run.
Was very fun training serket for 5 mins while other LS's came to watch me & wait for it to turn yellow i guess :p

Serket is awesome. I saw it get killed today while exping on bats and beetles. It was kind of funny because there were about 30-50 level 60+ people just standing around and then the thing spawns and was claimed by rareEX(a Fairy server HNM linkshell) and they were doing good until it decided to use it's AoEs which killed about 3 rareEX people and 2-5 other campers, it also killed half my party XD(Me not included) but eventually they killed it and we went back to exping and it was all good.

If a 75NIN can solo serket, wouldn't it be safe to say a 75RNG/NIN could as well? You'd still have both Utsusemis, and you'd be able to do a hell of a lot more damage.
Ninja can solo due to mass evasion and debuffing, neither of which ranger has. Even with bloody bolts, I do not think a ranger has much chance of soloing it.
The only jobs I can really see soloing Serket are Thief, Ninja, Red Mage, and Beastmaster.

along with thf,ninja,rdm and bst, a war/nin with two different eq (eva gear and vit) could POSSIBLY take it. Problem is they're missing a main factor:debuffing. So if you ever feel the need to solo this, bring along major potions and food (of course ;P) or just pt up with a healer
Im a 60 monk, Claimed this today for my LS :D Got aggro'd by a beetle and died,..
We didnt get any good drops -_-

also drops Vile elixer +1
What level could a 3 man party of Pld, rdm, and blm take serket? Also, what level could a NIN, rdm, and blm take him?
Hey all, first time poster here :). Just thought i'd share my Serket story. Neways, i was in an exp party killin funnel bats and beetles when our party decides disband. So me and the bard decided to stay and form a new party. He warps back to jueno and starts lookin while I sit back and wait in the depths of garliage :). Next thing I know theres this giant scorpion right behind me off between the 2 rock cliffs. Well it was the first time I'd ever seen a HNM before and I gotta say I was pysched. So I Ran up grabbed a few screenies and watched a few high lvls fight it. It used it's aoe poison, so I break out my poisona and keep watchin. Well several of the high lvls warned me that I was too close, but I was caught up in the moment. As I was taking a screen shot of Serket it jumped up into the air and came down on top of me for 889 damage. Well I de-lvled back to 48, got laughed at by the high lvls and became a taru-pancake. Got raised by one of the pld's and learned a valuable lesson: Never stand close to an HNM that is almost 5 tarus tall :)
mmmmm, taru pancakes xD
I remember my first time in Garlaige, and i wanted to Mijin Gakure back home, so i did some exploring.
Dropped down the floor and saw this HUGE scorpion and lots of high lvls.. and i was like WTF!?
Then i got hit with AoE poison and died really soon ; ;

whats AoE poison....ive heard of it but no clue what it is...wouldnt u last anyway if u were there or just do ur warp-kill thingie skill lol
Well, Serket was due to spawn within the next hour or so so my LS went over to camp him.
I was a few levels away from being safe so I couldn't stay and camp as the beeltes still just about aggroed me and we didn't want links.
So anyway I stand on the first floor and watch from the cracks down at all the people camping Serket.
He spawns and luckily my LS claims him so I jump down and Sneak/Invis/Blink myself (WHM sub) then watch the show. :D
I cured the AoE Poison instantly so I was never in any danger... until one of his AoE attacks hit me for 580+ damage, then another one for about 300 and followed by some poison... my health went into red very quickly and I didn't want to risk dying so I had to warp out of there and so I missed the "Serket Breaker" title.. ; ;
(My LS was going to invite me to PT just before Serket died).
Oh well, there is always next time.

I logged on in garliage citadel..usually i got warp but there was no BLM in party that night..so im sittin ghtere hiding behind a friends party looking for a warp, when i here EVERYBODY MOVE!!!, so im like.. WTF!?!?, then i see this giant scorpion come in along with a huge alliance of 70's, im like...COOL!, so i am watching when i get hit by poison AOE... thi si my health...750...730...710...690.. im like...crap, im shouting for poisona please, over and over, when i get hit by dmage AOE, thats when i turned into a Rangerkabob, me being lvl 48 at the time..it was...deadly,So just a warning if he spawns...RUN!!, or Escape, But to all u high levels, please u can avoild aggro, go to other side of room, not whre we are leveling and can get aggro....
In that corner there's skeletons that aggro to low health and pots that aggro to magic. Not very safe to fight there, even if you're level 75.
Actually, @ lvl 70, nothing aggros me 8)
Hmm.ur absolutly right..hmm...then maybe they should give a earlier warning..or like have the blm that is in group take a grou[ out for warps or sumthing..ahh..i don't care on;y lost 500xp after my raise 2
When you start seeing the room fill with high levels, you know that you have probably 2 hours or less before massive Aoes fill the room ;).
Last night my LS fought this on the opposite side of the room from the stairs, and all of the support jobs got whiped out by demon adds. So even though it usually causes a lot of death, the stairs are really the best place to fight it.

HMM>!?!?! then i see serkt im like... holy **** so im watching not know about AOE, he does a poisoin AOE im like... F***, imshout poisona please over and over. no luck.. now im like.. im dead. so im running farther back and boom hit by AOE 450 damage..me being a ranger lvl 48 at the time....it took about half my health but i was alrready at half soo.. i died..so im watching this long 20 min fight....just watching and watching....then finally it dies and i get a raise II, other people got raise 3'.. BOOHOOO, so this was my experience with serket
I've encountered this guy 3 days in a row exactly the same time as the day before(24h spawn)... Here's my story of what happened each day
Day 1: First time seeing him as PLD48, Died from a zoned Fallen Mage was raised and killed again from AoE poison.
Day 2: Was aware that he would spawn at the 24h mark so I warned my pt that he would, and of course, he did and killed me and my WHM again but this time I was PLD49.
Day 3: Spawned again while I was waiting for WHM to come back from afk and I wasn't touched once. LV75 NIN solo'd it with almost no HP loss whatsoever, name was Yaksa.
So..In the whole time I lvled to 50 and I'll probably see Serket again but I only hope not to die like days 1 and 2. <.<

Well i've seen serket 2ce once while lving in garliage and once just coming by to get some revenge on chamber beetles :D. First time the AOE did around 400dmg~ to me (50 sam) but this time as lvl 60 i didnt get hit. He does infact drop the claw.I saw a lvl 75rdm/37nin solo this guy...well i didnt see him kill it because it was taking so long but he had it down to about 1/2 hp when i left and i'm pretty sure he won. Just for the sake of randomness though...how much HP does this guy have o_O?
Its to bad they're nerfing utsusemi when the patch comes out. Aoe attack removes all shadow. Pfft. That means the lvl 75 nin/war on our server can't solo it anymore. Or it'll be a hell of a lot harder. Btw I believe the poison ticks off 20 hp every tick if I remember correctly. When watching this fight stay way the hell back w/o a whm on you or /whm and utsusemi shadows to dodge his stun attack.
First.. this is the nm my genkai party pulled.. and it raped us all.
yes.. someone fell threw the hole... and yes.. he did not know how to get out. and yes.. everyone else followed him.
I mean im telling him look how big it is. dont you think we should [Run Away]
I'm tempted to get a redmage with phalynx in order to atempt to take this guy down... and get it all..
mwhahaha

AoE poison was doing about 15 dmg per tick, and his AoE stun hit for 200-450 with stoneskin on and stunned for about 3 seconds. ~69 blm
i got killed by him when i was leveling in garliage. when i hit 70 i will make a pt and come back to reap my revenge.MUAHAHA
My LS killed this baddie tonight, we camped for ~3hrs. I put the final blow ~500 Dancing Edge and everything on that list up there dropped but the Triple Dagger and a Scorpion Shell. Really fun fight by the way; he only used his Poisonaga AOE 3 times, so that was NP. Two 75 Ninja, Nin, Brd, 2 War, 2 Whm, Thf(me).
Serket was Owned at around 5am EST.

So far, out of the seven times we've killed him, Triple Dagger has never dropped. We got the ring 3 times and 0 venomous claws. We've killed it with a thief whenever there was one online. The thief would always get the last hit. Yuunshi used to tank it until we got some nice Paladins and one time even our DRG/NIN tanked it. Serket is very easy.
Also, you shouldn't give out the death time on a forum =P Serket is a 21-24 hour spawn.

Surprisingly, his accuracy is really terrible, while his damage very high. While I've been tanking him as a thief, it seems like he'd be an easy fight with a ninja.
On a side note, everyone should stand as close to serket as possible in a big group. His AE will hit you even if you are off-screen some times. He has three AEs - Damage, Bindga, and poisonga.
The damage never seemed to hit me as a tank. Bindga will remove utsusemi, but his accuracy is so terrible you can really save ichi for this. The poisonga is a reason why every member should bring A STACK of antidotes. With around 12 people, he pulled it off 9 times in one fight. When I went once with 8 people, he did it around 14 times to my recollection.
EDIT: He also has "Evasion" which is his "two-hour" ability it seems; however, he may use it about 3 times. In addition to all this, there's also "Poison Sting" which can be absorbed by blink, but beyond that it does poison and paralyze status effects.
Serket Ring is a fairly common drop. After 4-5 kills I've seen 3 serket rings, 1 triple dagger, and no venomous claw. He also drops Vile Elixir+1, which is not listed and sells for around 30k. Furthermore, he can also spawn further into the North-East area than the circle shows, but beyond that it's fairly accurate.

this is more about the last comment... "melee more $$$ than mage." i think the problem with this classic argument is that its more expensive at different times. personally, i think its more expensive for a mage EARLIER, and more expensive for a melee LATER in lvls. this is just personal experience, (i have a 52 drg, and a 43 whm, different chars) and i normally try to get this point in when i hear people arguing about which is more expensive. ^^*
ya that has no relation to serket!
That would have to be the most informative post I've ever read, jeez... good job.
i was lvling at the entrance from Sauromugue and i heard the action from our camp, didnt see anything but it was doing like 600 damage per regular hit

PLEASE -- If you plan on fighting this thing, FIGHT IT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM FROM WHERE EXP PARTIES CAMP. We had this duo of 70+ people fighting it, and they fought it right in front of 3 parties' camps, one of which I was in. Needless to say, many deaths ensued, including my own -- not from the poison itself, but we were in battle, and as being the WHM, I naturally drew aggro on top of my already low HP from casting cure/poisona. T_T';
