Most of you probably know this already, but for those of you who dont.

If a bomb self-destucts it NEVER drops

I solo'd one of these the Crawlers' Nest (I-10, bottom floor) with my 45 BST. The location is the small room where the Doom Scorpion pops. Hope this is helpful.

SMN solo

i solo these as 45 SMN at garlaige citadel, give about 90xp/kill. good to fight with carbuncle only, get it to about 50-55% hp usually it will get tired of fighting and blow up. Just dont pull too much hate or it can easily kill you, hit me as a tarutaru for 90-100 each time, keep up blink, and just run out of range and resummon carbuncle when he dies.

it's an easy xp source if u know what to do. just run close to it(not too close or you'll die) so that you will gain xp when it says "The Puroboros raides self-destruct." good luck to all the smns who solo these (and bsts :p)

The post about the special attack is sure on target.... one of these at I-9 Crawler's Nest blew up my party and killed 2 of us with 604 dmg. Mildly shocking to go from full to KO. No drop either.. heh
Special Attack

Fought some of these today at I-10 on second level of crawlers.

You need to be very ready to bash/stun/nuke if you see them readying Self Destruct. It is an AoE that hit our group for 400-750 points of dammage.

Looked like fire based, casters beware!

They were good about droping the belt with a thief in group though :)

PS... Barfire reduced dammage a ton for us.
