Mind you the ??? you are looking for is near the flower near the Song Runes, not the one by the shore.
71PLD/NIN Solo'd. It took 130 damage off of me, and I never used any MP except for Flashing. Holy Circle + Undead Killer froze his instant Dimensional Death.

Lvl 70 mnk/sam helped me with this, and we barely won.
Dimensional Death was DEFINITELY well liked by him as he used it as often as he did regular attacks.
Let this be a warning to people asking a lvl 60 for help to keep an mp reserve for healing, i burned all mine spamming banish II and cure IV(each did about 200dmg).

yea this thing has about 7000 hp, but damn talk about easy. I solo'd this thing for my whm friend as a 62whm/17nin. Under leveled sub and all and i still beat him. My judgment and true strikes did the most damage. Although i stopped using stoneskin as soon as it came off from the first dimensional death, i kept utsusemi up as much as possible.
This ****** has a *TON* of HP, if it wasnt already posted.
*AND* He hits pretty hard. I solo'd it easily as a 73 blm, but only because he was using ranged/missing. Then again.. dimensional only did as much as his regular hit so =/. But I completely ran out of mp. He has too much hp ;-;.

thats my pt right there, owned that **** no problem, yeah i 2houred it but i could have beaten it without 2 hour....weakest damn Shadow ever, took 630+ Raging Fists damage at 100% TP and spammed Dimensional Death like hell, only did 50-305 dmg max, weak Shadow, to the 2 lvl 50 mages who took this on, you two dying just proves you were both stupid not to use stoneskin, especially as a RDM, RDM shoulda taken this thing down no problem.

killed him as 57war/nin and 54rdm/whm (me) for my whm ^^
marchelute did 10 dimensional deaths (some took 90hp some 200hp, but no more than 220hp), ate my debuffs with ease.
I had to use convert once, cuz marchelute is pretty fast and war didn't have much time to recast his utsu, and I was curing him all the time; spamming cure III, few times cure IV + debuffs, few elementals and some buffs that went off during the fight took lots of mp ^^;;
it took a bit of time... but there wasn't any scary situation, so it's ok ^^
and my whm has AF1 done ^^

I was talking to my LS who were doing a BCNM of some sort that was beyond my level. I think it was 60.. Anyway.. I mistelled and spoke in /say instead of /ls with the following line while waiting for the airship to Bastok to depart. "Yeah, I was shouting all day for help with Marchelute, but it seems once you get to Jeuno you never want to see Valkurm Dunes again." Followed by "Whoops, MT." A 60ish Dragoon overheard my conversation and /telled me "I'll help. Quick, let's get off the ship." I saw him standing right infront of me and knew he was no low level BSing me; I could see bits of AF armor. So, I followed him off the airship and together we went to Valkurm. I cured him a little, he beat the stupid out of Marchelute as a party of 4 - so bored waiting for more members - watched us with their Ooo's and Ahhh's. Marchie dropped, Pass dropped, Warped back to Sandy, got the hammer...life was good.

Did this last night to help WHM friend. Figured we should be able to own him together np.
Went as RDM/WARR 57 (warr sub was nice been a while) WHM/BLM 50
Pretty much just buffed up with stoneskin, blink, and phalanx and never took any real damage as i whittled away at the mobs hp. He does spam that tp move a lot, but at the level i was at the most damage i ever took was 87 I think.
I have seen a lot of pt's in the 40's get wiped on this mob but taking 1 50+ person SHOULD make it a breeze.
On a side note.. The WHM was doing mass damage with Banish II and Cure 3&4's on the mob. This badboy is Superweak to light based attacks. If I was gonna go at level i'd have a solid tank and a plan to CURE this **** to death.

[sm]It says it's a repeatable quest.Well i went back to the guy to try and get the quest no go.also went to see if i could respawn it without talking to the guy or just get the item again no go.
How do i get my weapon again? Someone said i had to throw out my other af armor and i be damn if i'm do that.

Try and click on the ??? again. I think you don't have to talk to Narcheral again, cause a lot of times when I'm on the secret beach people just spawn him to get partys killed.
Sorry, you don't need 5 lvl60+ to defeat this.
Not sure how much damage I did to him while soloing.
But it was a close one...
I solo'd him as a level 62?(63) RDM as soon as I
hit 41 on my WHM. I used Convert, 300% Spirits Within
after Cure IVing myself and refreshing my Stoneskin, and killed him with a Cure III, rest was melee (Enfire) and refreshing buffs.
Now, if you don't have a job that
high, that's fine... Although, you really shouldn't
use that much melee on him... He tends to spam
Dimensional Death when he gets below 25% HP or so.
Nuke to death if possible using Fire or Cures.
Optimal setup:
18 WHM's Divine Seal + Elemental Seal (not sure if they stack, always wondered) + Cure IV
Not like you'll be able to find 18 WHM's all doing
AF1 at the same time, but still... It would be
nice to see someone put this alliance together.

IF YOU ARE DOING THIS QUEST, DO NOT BRAG ABOUT HOW EASY IT IS UNLESS YOU DO IT AT LEVEL 40, WITH A PARTY OF PEOPLE ALSO AT LEVEL 40.
If you take 5 level 60s with you, it sort of takes the challenge out of getting a level 40 item, and there is no point of bragging about how high the level of your friends are. It wasn't easy for you, it was easy for them. You did nothing but activate the monster.

Why? This weapon sucks ***, there is no reason to do it at 40.
If I had a WHM actually using their AF1, I would beat them to death with it.

And what weapon would you suggest to use instead? A mnd + and mp + for whm sounds pretty good to me.

use a solid wand er something... +5 mnd's better than +2 mnd and +10 MP.... sure the damage on the wand is poo... but how often do you actually melee stuff (please dont say "pretty often" cause then i'll be forced to let that other guy beat you down with your hammer).
At least this AF weapon is better than the shoddy one given to BLMs, it might come is half-usefull if i felt like going out and beating stuff up with my WHM (not that i do it often, but sometimes the mood strikes me to go club "too weak"s)

This is WAY better than a solid wand. MP is always better than MND on a WHM. This is better than anything else a WHM can wield at that level.

Well i havnt done this yet but just 1 Q: What is the recommended lvl to fight this thing?
If I want to do this, can I start the quest, then change to my monk, and go spawn it and fight it? or does it have to be whm spawning it?

Just completed last night with no problems what so ever.
Party consisted of LS mates:
41 WHM/20BLM -- Nightmayre(me)
44 RDM/22BLM -- Sepultura
59 RDM/29BRD -- Darklighter
We all buffed up I spawned and bout 10 mins later done.....np at all.
I don't really know why anyone would have a hard time with this. Marchelute did Dimensional Death maybe 3-4 times, and didn't take much off Dark.
Well to all who haven't done this GL and have fun.

I tagged along with 2 other WHM for this one. Nothing else. I was a 50 WHM 25 BLM. We killed him twice no problem. We buffed up as much as possible before the battle with Stoneskin etc. and just healed each other. Who says WHM can't tank lol.

with just 51mnk and a 45whm this thing was easy, I did use Hundred Fists but I think I could've done without, whats the hub bub? Another AF1 in the bag ::see and believe:
This NM is a breeze at 60...at least it was for me. I had the Whm along who had the quest and a rdm, just in case this dimensional death is as hard as everyone makes it seems. The Whm did nothing a few cures, the rdm did nothing...
I had 300% tp and hit raging fists for 1118, this guy was pissed. Spammed Dimensional death on me only each time max was about 250. At 60 I have over 1300 hp LoL. An easy fight Even my Howling fist hit it for 970 at 150%. The only thing that I think people believe this NM is hard, is that it spams Dimensional death near the end, but with a healer it is nothing. I even guarded a Dimensional death and took 98 points of Dmd lol.
Have a healer, and a DD of 60 or more if you want. It was <Too Weak>.
Fight took a minute, maybe a little more. No two hour was used =D
