Trial Size Trial By Earth
|
In-Game TextDescription"The Rhinostery has developed a new "mini" tuning fork of earth. Ringing it upon the protocrystal in Quicksand Caves will open the path to a one-on-one battle with the beast that awaits inside. However, only summoners are allowed to take up this challenge." Upon speaking with Ferrol (standing next to Juroro, who gives the Trial by Earth quest), he will explain about the Mini Tuning Fork of Earth and give you one. Beware, this item is not a Key Item like the regular Tuning Forks. This is a Rare/Exclusive item that needs to go in your inventory. When you are a level 20+ Summoner (and ready to go: meaning get your food/juice/meds and gear ready!), return to Ferrol and trade him the Mini Tuning Fork of Earth. (Do not worry: he does not keep the fork.) The following conversation will occur: Ferrol: Are you and Carbuncle ready to fight the prime avatar as a level 20 summoner? Ferrol: Also, regardless of whether you defeat the avatar or not, you will be unable to re-enter the protocrystal again for a number of days. Ferrol: Ma'am, our adventurer has completed her preparations and requests a warp. Juroro: ... Alacazimzam-scooby-dooby... ... Juroro: Sha-mona! At this point, Juroro will warp you to the Cloister of Tremors. (Don't worry, there are no mobs to worry about here.) The protocrystal stands in front of you. You must TRADE the Mini Tuning Fork of Earth to the protocrystal. (WARNING: If you do not trade the fork and instead just select the protocrystal, you will enter the regular level 60+ party avatar battle if you have the regular tuning fork!) When you enter the battlefield, it will give you the rules: Only (Your Name) can enter the battlefield. The time limit for the battle is 15 minutes. You'll then see the cut-scene of Titan being awakened (the same cutscene that is shown in the regular avatar battles). Afterwards, you must run up the cool-looking staircase thing to where Titan awaits. At the bottom, however, it is safe to do preparations (cast magic, use items, rest). During this battle, ONLY Carbuncle can be summoned. (So no, you cannot use something like.. say.. Air Spirit.) The reward is the ability to summon Titan. (The same Titan you get from doing the other quest for the avatar.) You can attempt this as a summoner less than level 20, although it would be pointless. The recommended level (and level cap) is 20. You do not lose exp when you die, unlike the regular avatar battles. SpoilersCategories: FFXI Quest | Final Fantasy XI This page last modified 2007-09-21 11:07:04. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

This is not an exact strat i use on titan, more like an allrounder strat for all avatars
Items needed
20 SMN/WHM
LIGHTS DAY
- Hermit's Wand
- Scentless Armlets
- Light Soleas
- Rolanberry Pie
- Hi-Pot x3
- Hi-Ether x2
- Yagudo Drink x4
Although you dont use all of the hi-pots and ethers, its good to carry extra for any mistakes u may do.
Carrying hermits wand will replace aquaviel as you dont always have time to recast aquaviel in the arena
Using the Light soleas and Scentless armlets is to increase evasion for lower chance of interruption
Why use Lights day? because Searing Light is strongest on that day. Avatars are the same on every day except their favourite day, this is because only their magic and ur magic is affected, Because the only magic u will be using is Light type, U should get the most out of it
Its not like u'll be using any wind magic, although titan is weak to it. Titan does not have lower defense or lower stength on winds day at all.
Having high lvl summoning skill also affects carbuncles magic strength to searing light.
Get Prot2, Shell , eat a pie
when going around the bend towards titan, drink a yagudo drink
Cast carbuncle and use assault on Titan, run to the side furthest away to titan and recast when carbuncle dies, repeat this till Titan is on around 45%HP. Remember to use yaguda drink at any time u lose refresh effect
You can cast dia to increase ur chances of winning if u want but u need to cast it before carbuncle can attack titan that way after u cast carbuncle will hit titan and the hate switches bak to carbuncle (note: carbuncle must lay a damaging hit to retake hate)
Upon getting to titans 45% mark, and ur casting carbuncle again, use astral flow and cast searing light as carbuncle does his 1st hit.
If titan does his 2hr carbuncle will die.. keep running to the end and dont look bak, use a Hi pot, if u were damaged , then use hi ether (There is a downtime for using magic after a Hi ether.. about 10 secs or so, use a Hi-pot if u need to) and recast carbuncle.. chances are titan will hit u.. but thats ok, with the equip ur wearing u should be able to recast carbuncle while hes hitting u
use another Hi-pot if u really need to and cast Searing Light.
By then u should have won.
The strat is based on if titan 2hr's u while casting Searing Light, this isnt always ther case though.

Additional Info:
In the case that the Avatar does not 2hr you, instead just your Carbuncle, You may not even need a hi-Pot at all.
The minimum items you may have used up with this method would be
1 Hi Ether
3 Yagudo Drinks
I like to carry Selbina milk with me for HP regen when I feel like casting Dia, Banish Paralyze etc. but remember to manage your hate properly as carbuncles hate resets everytime he dies
Casting searing light when the avatar is at 45% is simply a safeguard incase a Searing light does 120+ instead of 210+, u can do it even if the avatar is a lil above 50% HP
Playing it safe is the best method to go by until u get in the rhythm of being able to beat avatars again and again on almost any day
Breaking the Record:
The basic concept is to Searing light the Avatar to death, not recommended unless you know the rhythm to beat the avatar as above
Pie is unecessary in this case so use steamed crab, but Aquaviel is a must, 1 Yagudo drink is sufficient if not, none is ok too.
2-3 hi ethers are sufficient
1-6 hi pots (all depends on whether avatar decides to kill carbuncle quickly or not)
I recommend lights day again for the greater chance in pulling off 210+ Searing lights
use the yagudo drink, Cast carbuncle and use Astral Flow, run up to the avatar, assault and cast searing light.. run to the bottom use hi-ether, recast carbuncle wen he dies and searing light again run to the top, ether, recast, searing light. Depending on whether the avatar survives the last searing light, let carbuncle finish it off on its own or cast the searing light 1 more time. its possible but u need good time management.
again in the case that u have to take hits from the avatar due to him doing a 2hr or a skill that kills carbuncle quickly simply recast carbuncle wen you get to the other end, remember.. avatars are slow, when recasting use discretion on whether to use a hi-pot or to recast carbuncle on your own.. its up to your own judgement

I can't beat titan, plain and simple! I get him to 45% health (or just about), carb dies and I recast him. When I cast carb Titan kills him with stone II or his 2hr, whatever it is. He than gets to me b4 I can get carb out again and wipes the floor with my face. I bring 8 potions
(8 potions=4 hi-potions~cheaper)2 ethers, 1 Rolanberry pie, and 4 yagudo drinks. I have all the evasion and spell interuption equipment.(Hermit's wand, scentless armbands, travelers mantle, heko obi+1, and Light soleas) I have tried like 6 times and can't beat him. If anyone has some tips plz reply. Nvm I BEAT HIM!!! ~Raziel~ ~#*Seraph*#~
