A 60 rdm friend of mine who has a fair amount of experience in solo'ing NMs herself got owned by this thing. Quick. Level 60 in one of the game's best solo'ing jobs got beat down. Just a gauge of its strength.

I was looking for Daggerclaw at level 42BLM about a week ago, and /cry I found this dude instead... I didn't even try to go for him, i just waited what I thought was a good distance away, when suddenly it looks like he's moving twcie as fast as he had been previously. He went from a speck in the distance to most of my screen in about 2 seconds. Breakga'd me while i was casting warp (casue i know and aggro run when i see one), but I was frozen cold... Two hits for 300 damage each owned me hard (although the second one coulda gone for 100 and i woulda still been toast)... I don't think I ever want to go back to Meriph again.

This guy is TOUGH. I was farming in the mountains and I happened to come accross this guy as my 58 rdm, it was late and most of my LS had signed off. I asked the few on what lvl he was and no one knew, so I buff up than he aggroes me, that was the first bad sign. but I was fully buffed and figured Id give it a shot. 3 hits and stoneskins gone, so I recast and as Im casting he starts cast Stonega IV, I try to spam chainspell+warp but was in mid cast, and that was the end of me. I died and delvled.

Well me and my thf friend check the spawn point and see this guy was there. He is a 61 thf/12 war becuase we were NM camping. I run out of mp and we get owned. We hp and he changes to his 30 nin sub. We pick up a 55 sam and head back. We get to it right before another party. The sam 2hred I 2hred when the sam had 22 hp left, with no aggro mind you. With the help of a few cures from a pld friend in the other party we defeat it. 55 sam, 59 whm, and a 61 thf beat Waraxe. It felt good to kill it after it killed me. That shows him.

I was looking for the monument in this area for the CN map quest. I went a little too far east and saw this bad boy standing there. I told my linkshell, and a 62 pld came out to try to kill it with me healing him in the background. We also got some random 32rdm that was out there farming/xping on EP probably to join in about 1/5 of the way through the battle.

It wasn't as bad as some of the other posts on here seem to make it. It may be b/c the high lvl I had was a pld and could take more punishment. We lost though btw. Got him down to between 1/2hp - 1/3hp left. I was in the middle of a DS+CureIII and Waraxe StongaIV'd the pld for the third time. The other ones musta been half resisted b/c this one did 951 dmg to the pld and was just enough to kill him. (He had like 919hp at the time) Needless to say he ran through me and the rdm like a hot knife through butter.

I went back and counted all the dmg we did, 8,192. We had it just under half, which makes me believe it has 16,000 hp!! This guy is a force to be reckoned with.

Also I would suggest trying this with lvl 65ish pld tank and have the whm be at least 41, (i was 38) for CureIV, Haste, Stona. Or maybe even Regen II lvl... 44? Waraxe spams stonegaIV like every other minute, dispels your buffs on pt with something called breakga and petrifies.
Which makes me think that barstonra wouldn't have been a bad idea.... >< O'well, I vow revenge someday.

Me and my Linkshell friends were in the area for the Castle part of the Rank5 mission, when our ranger says he sees an nm on widescan. None of us knew anything about it, but we all ran to it as fast as we could.

We had a lvl 60 Rng and lvl 60 Pld. The rest of us were between lvl 30 and 40. Needless to say, we were completley demolished, lol.

Lesson learned: never attack an NM unless you know what lvl it is first!

This thing DOES agro by sight, not just sound. I had sneak on and it still attacked me.
Owned
# Sep 24 2004 at 4:41 PM Rating: Decent
I made the mistake of trying to take him on. He slammed right through my phalanx and stoneskin and finished me off with Stonega IV. Not to mention his HP bar is huge since it never moved. This thing is defiantely harder than the level it suggests, because it didn't take long for it to smack me down.
This guy sucks
# Sep 21 2004 at 7:09 AM Rating: Decent
This guy really does suck man. But i was able to take em with three other linkshell buddies as my PLD51/WAR25. My friends were PLD/WAR 62, NIN/WAR 62, and BLM/WHM 58 or so. He basically likes to stone and Dispelga and not to mention petrify the whole pt. I first saw this bad boy when i was looking for the Raptor NM in the area. This thing just drew me in from a mile away and dusted the whole Meriphataud area with me. For all those that try to solo him....be cautious of his petrifying and dispelling attacks.
where did these spells come from???

gravitga and dispelga??? these exist???

not to mention the draw in is BS...

Yeah... It's pretty unfair, but a good amount of the high level NMs will get some spells/abilities not available for any normal player to use. They cheat :P

But if they didn't, then most of them would be a little too easy... So it's for a good reason. :p

Easy with a lvl 58-61 pt. PT set-up: 61 DRK (Me), 60 WHM, 59 DRG, 58 BLM, 60 PLD, 60 WAR. Took him down fairly quick. He tried StonegaIV a few times throughout the fight, Me and BLM stunned them all except 1 where I wasnt paying attention.......Didn't do much dmg though, Maybe 300-400dmg. No drop which really didnt matter, only 30k-40k on Kujata.
REVENGE
# Aug 25 2004 at 11:25 PM Rating: Decent
I was summoned to slay this beast as a lvl 65 PLD by a friend who was owned by him... i solo'd this fiend for 15 minutes and only did 1/3 dmg to him.... he soon after casted StonegaIV and i was done for....and thats at lvl 65 PLD... I have yet to rematch him... but i want my REVENGE!!!!!

On my way to windurst from an another annoying trip to mee deggi's spawn, i checked this area (two nms for one spot? i'll drink to that!) and he had spawned. I call up my LS, two blms, a rdm, and a 50 nin show up. We start the fight, with the intention of the nin tanking... well, let's just say it's hard to SATA onto a taru whe you're fighting a small house...
I tanked the rest of the fight, and i decided that two blms (stun stun stun!!!111) is my preferred way to fight mobs like this that have large -ga IV spells.
We offed it with no problems, no drop though (lol @ 20k / 6 anyway)

Be careful around this little meanie. I was hunting/farming in the area of his spawn last night and he came lumbering up over a hill. Not knowing his lvl(i don't frequent Meriphitaud so i'm not too familiar with all the mobs here) I figured he would only be a few lvl higher than an Axebeak. There is nobody around and only 11 people in the zone, so I rest to full hp, hit Utsusemi, Sneak Attack, eat a Meat Chiefkabob, and then proceed to plant my dagger firmly in his **** for....52 damage?!?!? WTF, his hp bar didn't even move!!

Waraxe Beak starts casting Stonega IV.
Thalos takes 954 damage.
Thalos is defeated by the Waraxe Beak.

So i got a free trip back to Jeuno. I do a search and find a lvl 74 RDM/BLM (Whisnant) and inform him that the Waraxe is loose and very lonely. So he tells me he found it and I get a tele-mea/choco and arrive on the scene for the show.

By the time i get there, his lvl 60+ PLD buddy(Dartx, in full AF mind you) had joined the fray and they have taken about 1/4 of its life. When the Waraxe is down to about 1/3 life, the poor PLD bites it, but Whisnant is still going strong. Paralyze, left hook, dodge, right hook..this is a great battle(from atop a choco at least). The battle raged on for at least 10-15 minutes.

In the end, the RDM was victorious. Just in time for some of his reinforcements to arrive ><; So unless you are a very high lvl or have a damn good pt, I would suggest that you steer clear of this bad rider. Mean spells, nasty AoE abilities, and just stupid amounts of HP all add up to one bad ****.
i got wooped by this NM

i was helping ls with rank 5 and castle OZ was the last part we did i wanted to go check if the raptor NM was up and have some fun and kill him and make few quick bucks off the sonic knuckles lol as i was heading down there i saw it War Axe Beak i had heard of it but hadnt seen it i thought i could take it at lvl 60 pld but noooo i was wrong lol that thing beat the crap out of me
Escape

Wouldn't touch it :D

This guy is nuts, and there is no way the level suggested on this site if correct. I'd say he is level 60, at least.

In the end it took a lvl 62 RNG (me), 60 WHM, 64 RDM, and another 63 RDM to kill this guy. He uses Paralyzga, Stonaga IV, Draw-in (so you can't run), Silenga, and a few other spells/abilites that really kick your ***... He was tough, and had a lot of HP.

I wouldn't recommend touching this guy unless you're lvl 60+ with a few others, or in a full PT / Alliance in the 50's.

Welp I woke up this morning, log on and start to get ready to farm. Then my Blm sends me a msg that Waraxe beak is loose in Merphitaud. Then immediatly I say ummm....cap 30 ballista there im not coming (cuz I didnt know what he was talking about). He told me it was an NM and he needed me and a high lvl. I /tell a 67 Pld and we all get rdy grab a tele and choco to the point. I casted Abs-Dex and Vit right away and we start hitting him. He was tough had boat loads of HP. HE casted Stonega IV and I had 400 HP left and blm was in red. I figured we were dead but then I rwallized how weak he was and I casted stun every time he used that spell. It took a good old 10 minutes or so to kill him. he has MASSIVE hp. We ender up not getting the Tekko (50k on Garuda)

Stay far away from where this guy spawns unless you want a quick trip back to your hp. He aggroed me the second he came into view. I use Flee, so naturally he Dispelga's it away then casts Graviga on me. I bind him and run. He has a special ability called "Draw In" that either warps you to him or vice versa. Long story short he annhiolated me.

!BEWARE! Huge aggro range.

I make it a point before logging everyday that I check on this guy and fight him if possible. With 73 RDM I died first time i found him thinking he was far too weak to be of any threat, i got him within one inch of his life and he stonega IV'd me and then petrified me... i respawned came back and beat him down good. Sub BLM and constantly keep phalanx and stoneskin up and aspir him throughout the fight and hes no problem, since rdm have resist petrify abilities his petrify moves and spells are pretty useless and even if you are affected it wears quickly. as far as i know this is the only job that can effectively solo this so called lvl 55-56 NM but hes loads of fun when you can :P

I was searching around Meriphataud, didn't expect to find Waraxe Beak. Didn't think he was such a high level either.

So I sent Carbuncle at him as SMN31/WHM15, he nails Carbuncle 300, casts Gravity on me, then hits Carbuncle again to kill him while I'm running my Taru legs off with weight...

I ended up dying and deleving ; ;

Edit: I came back to the area and releveled off of Easy Prey Raptors and Yagudos; farming/leveling ^^
