Just took this thing on as a 72PLD/20THF (trying for pirates for map quest) and boy was that a close call fight i used sentinel rampart invincible and all my mp trying to kill this had recast on sentinel time out so used it again and still only just beat him with 200hp left and 7 mp tough one to do definatly suggest subbing WAR or NIN for the PLD's looking to take him on also remember invincible is your best friend when and only when he hundred fists you otherwise you'll see why hes called Sea Horror
Just soloed this for my first time as a 75 Black Mage. Just a few tips for others thinking about trying this:
First, this NM can NOT be slept. I tried ES+Sleep II and it was still resisted. Second, bind is your friend. I of course ran out of MP and had to manafont. Naturally upon using manafont gravity/bind wore and horror decided to hundred fist. Landed another bind on him and regravitied...this cost me some of my time on my 2 hour. Consequently I ran out of MP a second time. For a full minute I kited him around trying to decide what to do while staring at my meager 77 MP left. Then I decided it was either die trying or die kiting. Knew kiting was just a matter of time for death, so I bound it and took a knee. Amazingly this mob stays bound for a very long time, often staying bound all the way thru bind's recast timer. Did this 3 or 4 times and voila'! One Blizz 4 later and I ended up getting the win.
Only dropped a shall shell and I think 31 xp...not sure on the xp, I was too busy trying to snag some quick screenshots...though I couldn't get the mobs name into my screen for a good shot =/
Next time I go to take this **** on Bind will surely be a bigger part of my game plan.
So I took the boat to Mhaura to finish a quest. I stayed inside the ship, as a 53whm/26blm I have learned never to attempt or tempt anything on my own. I went afk for a few minutes and come back just in time to see the Sea Horror deal my death blow. No one else on the ship, so just my luck, he pops inside the boat. WTF?!? ;;
Yeah i heard that this guy raped a few fishers so i decided to hop the ship and see what the fuss is all about. well i spent 3hrs looking for him and guess what he's a noshow. so as i was about to leave i thought what the hell i may as well fish and make some gil while i'm here. but after bout 15-36sec later i see on my screen drako was defeated by sea horror so i turn around and bam there hey is. now i'm a lvl 68 Drk so i think to my self this guy may kick my *** but hey i got to aleast give him a try. so i absourb his str,dex and vit and then go to work on him and he hits me for 55-83 points of dmg so i think wtf. anfter a drain of 236hp and a guilotine of 1158 and a cross reaper of 957 he's down to 15%hp so im feeling good. but as soon as i'm going to drop the killing blow the damn ship docks i was fricking pissed cuz that just saved his ***. i went to look again but to my luck no show again after 2hrs of waiting and some bad sea food.
total raped this on SMN 75/WHM 37 fenrir out 2 Eclipse Bites he hundred fists just used E howl for evasion bearly touched fenrir then flowed howling moon completly owned =) droped shell /sigh
Just solod as 75blm/whm, elemental seal/ sleepga2 did not work but bind would hold long enough for to stoneskin and blink and get off a bliz4. I had to 2hour because I just didnt have the mp for all his hp. Got the shall shell and 31 exp. Also it agrod me from across the ship, so... yeah. Be careful.
I decided to go fishing on the boat , tryin to fish up some nebimonites when this guy pops. Being a 75 rdm/blu, I quickly buff up stoneskin + protect IV + cocoon + phalanx. I started fighting him and then casted ice spikes haste and enstone, only to realize this guy was way too weak for me. He was half dead b4 he finally knocked out my stoneskin. He then 2hrd so I hit bind and ran away some, recasted a few needed buffs then finished him off only losing 10 hp the whole fight. Too bad I never get this drop though
I call bullsh*t. I attempted to solo this ****** as 73pld/war, even with Hercules ring equipped, he was beating me soundly. I ended up inviting a 74whitemage who had also happened to be riding the boat and we ended up duo'ing it.
After reading all these posts I decided to chime in..
At low levels I remember dying to this guy horribley many times, but at somewhere around lvl 72 or 73 I soloed this guy. Long fight...I popped invicible during his 2 hr, killed the NM and got a nice umm shall shell >< My HPS were down in the orange/red range (herc ring helps) by the time he went down
didn't hit hard but a ton of HPs, next trip I scored my sand charm finally w00t
I call ********* I attempted to solo this f[b][/b]ucker as 73pld/war, even with Hercules ring equipped, he was beating me soundly. I ended up inviting a 74whitemage who had also happened to be riding the boat and we ended up duo'ing it.
I was a 70mnk/35thf about to take the ship in search of pirates for the "Sand Charm". As i wait i check up on the so called "Sea Horror" to see that IF it pop'ed should i try to kill it. All i looked for was it's lvl, not reading any of the comments on the forum and considering NM's to be about 5-8 lvl's higher in difficultee than regular mobs i thought "what the heck".
The Ship leaves Mhaura and 20 sec's after reaching the deck Sea Horror pop'ed and aggro's a fisher. I engage it, dodge, focus and 2hr's. It hit me for 70-90 dmg and 130 on crit so my first impression was ".....oh damn". 30 sec's, 3 raging fist's and a few ********** from sea horror later; he's down to 40% and i'm at about 800 HP my 2hr wears and he uses his. "..........oh.....damn!" I un-lock target and start running in panic round and around the bridge with the darn squid desperatly trying to yank my tail. After at least 30 sec's of kite'ing, with about 400 HP left i turn around, Chakra and lock-on.
Finnally at 159 HP and yet another raging fists he falls to the ground. Relieved i start resting the 1400 HP he did on me. After resting 15 sec the fisher i saved says "Sea Horror". ".....um, what?" I rotate the camera and there he is, back with a vengance, with the ugliest grin you've ever seen wiped all across it's disformed face, aggro's me and woop my ***. Arriving selbina, and after 2 min of watching people run past me to make their boat, i lie on the ground and watch the boat leave harbor and dissappear on the horizon without me onboard.
....and about the "solo revenge" part about this....he got his revenge on me, lol
Oh well, I guess we're even.
Now that i think about it, it really is rather a sad story than a funny one, lol
I was fishing on the boat and isay a level 75 RDm/NIN get killed by this thing, she was doing good until it 2hr.
The next rl day i went for another fishing trip, this time a 75 WHM/NIN got owned by it. I have to admit, the WHM got it down further than the rdm. He got it down to about 50% befor he got killed by 2hr.
After the WHM was killd a level 71 MNK/THF questing for the sand charm thing got the claim, HE got it down real low but i wasn't looking so good for him, i was praying that he'd be killed >:) so i could get the cheap claim, but a RDm that was also fishing healed him a few times, dame.
this thing totaly pwnd a 70 rng the other day, he was afk of course... but he used a warp scroll ASAP after he came back from being afk... killd 2 fishing bots while he was at it too XD it was funny to see them all die in one hit flat... it woulda been the same for me but, heh anyways this guy is a b**** when you forget to look before you run out onto the deck

I was a little disappointed when I finally got revenge the Sea Horror today. I'm a lv50 RDM/SMN, had a pt of 52RDM/NIN, 54WHM/BLM, and a 58RNG/THF. We had no real problems killing this thing once, but then again on the next boat. Both times we only got Shall Shells...all I'm trying to say is this isn't all it's cracked up to be.
I think they my have his leavl a little low I watched a leval 75 NIN nearly get killed by the Sea Horror and would have died too if I had't come to his aid and healed him.. Sometimes it's good to be a mentor.
The level that mobs are listed as is based on the amount of XP gained from killing it, not the actual difficulty of the kill.
The Sea Horror is one of the NMs that has access to a 2hr ability, in the case of the Horror, Hundred Fists.
NINs are able to solo effectively because they can avoid taking damage through high evasion and their Blink spells, however once the Sea Horror uses Hundred Fists the NIN's Blink will be ripped through very fast, so causing them some hefty pain.
To solo this you really need the ability to avoid it's attacks once it uses Hundred Fists, usually by bind/sleep/gravity and running away until the Hundred Fists effect wears off.
I really don't see why Gawane's post has been rated down so harshly, so if you don't mind I'll be rating it back up.

Posted:Feb 05 2005 at 6:59 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) No way are you telling the truth, either the NIN was an idiot or your a liar, Xenoes a lvl 70 nin solod this thing only getting hit once on ifrit server, TWICE... dont lie, it makes you look really stupid
I have seen a lvl 70 thf/nin and ??? whm/??? dual this, it was actually pretty funny. The thf was hitting it for 20-30 pnts dmg (if memory serves me correclty) and the Sea Horror was missing the thf constantly. He kept his utsusemi up. The WHM would sleep the Sea Horror when the thf would disengage, The thf would then run behind it, and do a Sneak Attack + Dancing Edge for 1000+ dmg (it was closer to 1200 to 1700 dmg if I remember correctly)... Occasionally the whm would do a cure 3, but other then that would just sit back and watch the thf go at it. It was pretty fun.
The only other time I have seen someone fight it was a 75 Pal/??? (probably war)... They had the Sea Horror down to less then an 1/8 of it's health... The pal had 1/2 it's health. The sea horror then did 100 fists and I don't know if the pal used invincible earlier or what the deal was, but he took it like a sponge. In 20 seconds he went from 1/2 his life to less then 1/8. Every whm on the ship started casting Cures, but, too little too late. the pal died, and then it started going from mage to mage before another high lvl person engaged it, and killed it. It was ugly.
Being a low lvl thf at the time I just sat back and watched the brutal slaughter...
So far I have not died once from the Sea Horror... I count myself lucky:)
