ZM6 - Through the Quicksand Caves
|
SummaryYou must hurry to Zepwell Island's ancient temple. WalkthroughAfter collecting all the fragments in the previous mission, head to Western Altepa Desert. Go to C-11 to enter a hidden cave, then keep going and enter Quicksand Caves at D-12. Once inside Quicksand Caves, head to I-9 where you must stand on a circular pad to open a door. You must have either a galka, three tarutaru or two of any other race combination stand on the pad for the door to open. After going through the door, head northwest and then go through another circular pad door at H-7. Head west until you come to a pit; fall down the pit. After falling down, follow the path until it splits. Take the left (western) path and follow it north to the Chamber of Oracles. In the Chamber of Oracles, you will enter a BCNM fight with three antican NMs. They are:
Winning the fight marks the end of this mission. You will be ejected from the battlefield into a different part of the Chamber of Oracles. This marks the start of the next mission. Battle NotesSome notes about this BCNM fight:

List shows level 65 required for this mission, I did it at 61.
you should do it more like PLD af3. Kill the easiestto but hardest hitting first basically. I havn't done this yet so I'm going to try binding the pld and keeping it silence and bound as look as possible.
As a pld myself bound and silence is as good as slept.
I better not try this one til I reach 65.

Just beat this for some people that needed it. I had it done already but I helped them with ZM4+.

We won the BC in 17mins, RDM had died but he had RRII on so he got back up. Him and the DRK traded off sleeping the mobs and rested after we killed the BLM. RNG gave some trouble because at that point HP/MP was low. Had no meds of any kind.

This BCNM is VERY hard if you fight the PLD first, we went in twice and did PLD BLM RNG and all got raped, we went in again and did BLM PLD RNG and we came out with 1 death due to EES at the end. very easy if you have a BLM and a PLD with you and fight the order BLM PLD RNG. RNG needs to go last or you'll be left without a tank the whole battle and BLM needs to go first, his spells are very painfull.

Completed this just a few minutes ago with quite an odd party setup.
BLM/WHM 68
RDM/NIN 75
WHM/BLM 68
WHM/BLM 69
THF/NIN 70
THF/NIN ??
Tough fight with this setup, but nevertheless, interesting.
I opened with Elemental Seal + Sleepga which stuck on all three Antican. THF's set up SATA on the RDM/NIN on Triarius. Tri Manafonted at about 75% HP, but it was wasted due to a well placed Silence. Had to resleep Centurio a few times, proving to be tough with PLD being so highly resistant to Sleep, but eventually got him to nap long enough to finish off Triarius.
Moved on to Centurio. Same basic idea; set up another dual SATA with the RDM/NIN, and worked our way from there. Silenced Centurio, and continuously re-slept Princeps. Invincible at about 75% HP, then we kept pounding. A few close calls due to the huge amounts of hate on the RNG from Sleep, but after we took down Centurio, we thought we were in the clear. . .
Princeps shot that dream down really fast. A nice Eagle Eye Shot knocked out our RDM tank, leaving us with 2 THF/NIN to bounce the hate. Shadows were eaten, and one THF fell before he was able to get Perfect Dodge up. RDM got raised and began to tank while weakened. The second THF goes down, and then Princeps moved on to one of the WHM, who goes down as well. RDM pulls hate long enough for me to land the final Fire III on this guy for the win.
All in all, tough fight, but the most fun, exhilarating battle I've had yet.
Clear Time was 20m 10s, also including a Connection Loss of about 3 minutes when first entering the Burning Circle.

Rdm sleepagas everything. We kill blm first rdm keeps sh#$ asleep BLM goes down fast and easy. Next in line RNG he gave us trouble but in all in all was easy only thing he did was ees our tank and killed him. WHM reraised him in no time nin started healing me and warrior killed rng. Next RDM keeps pld asleep til nin unsicken then beat his a$$. So easy. I used sleep bolts for ranged and missed rarely. Help keep it from getting those few extra swings or spells in. Used one echo drop entire fight. Thanks to isenhart rdm 71 for the help he was a fast replace for a rdm who missed getting one of there key items please check getting your key items just cus it says you got it dont mean you got it check and make sure every time no matter what.

Reading this Post I am convinced that I am the PLD that helped you that night since it all sounds very familiar to me.
I think what you posted here was very helpful to anyone going in on this mission after what we encountered. I know my friends were a bit "cocky" but they were just getting irratated that I kept dying and that they were forced to wait on continuing our BCNM60 run, and the run we had just done before you guys showed up ended failed due to the WHM DCing (if I remember correctly).
I remember the WHM being away or something during the raising so I think that is why there was no R3s given, and they were very hell bent on getting me R3s because I don't really xp on PLD at all and I am not that far into lvl on it. And I really did not even need to agree to help let alone insist that the whm give R3's to all. The other members of our group thought they were being nice and giving raises to hurry things along while the WHM was away.
I know I did not owe any explaination but I just saw this and I sort of felt like all that time I spent trying to help you guys in that situation and the many deaths and such I had and it just sounded a bit like you were bashing my friends, and I will not stand for that because they are good people. I was the one who decided to help at thier expense and well I never asked for anything from you guys because I didn't mind helping, and they didn't ask for anything from you guys either.
I was actually ready to go in on a 3rd fight with you guys (because at that point I was determined to win and I thought you guys were cool players) but they were getting tired and in fact we never even finished our BC runs because someone had to get to sleep.
Anyways not even sure you will see this at all but had to make that clear.

THANK YOU AGAIN!
Our PT setup was NIN/SAM/DRK/BLM/WHM/RDM
Aside from our NIN who got an unlucky hit from EES we did fine... btw dont fight Antica on darksday. They really resist sleep a lot then.

the directions are just backwards, go in the "hidden" tunnel @c-11, then go to the entrance to quicksand caves @d-12. sitting at my other computer looking at the position now.
like dakren said, would be nice to have this fixed so people don't get all confused ^^;

Please, correct this, I had an alliance out searching D-12 for a zone line for a good 10 minutes. The secret cave is at D-11 on the southwest corner of the map. ^_^

By the way: the directions that Allakazham give are either unclear or wrong. After you zone into the quicksand caves. Go thru the first door you see and hug the left wall. Go thru the next door you see on the left and fall down that hole. When you come to a fork in the path take the left fork. This will take you to the chamber of oracles.
We took this on yesterday with the following setup: whm, nin x2, blm x3. Blms slept the mobs and nuked them down one by one, taking the pld 1st, the blm 2nd and the rng 3rd. There was a early death which I raised immediately due to an unexpected awakening of the blm ant when I silenced it. Whether this was just poor luck or if silence wakes these NM's I leave to your guesses. Later another of blms kicked when the rng ant used EES. That was a quick blm death if ive ever seen one. Yeow. This fight took a little longer than your standard party since it relied on heavy magic damage. I wouldn't recommend using this set-up unless you have a bit of gil to burn on yags, pamamas, hiethers and hipots. Between this fight and the ZM8 fight we did an hour later we went thru some decent cash for meds. Aldoron and Stinkywinky were our nin tanks and did a SPECTACULAR job. Exodusio, (sp?) Spectros and the anonymous blm whose name I cannot remember (Sorry) did a great job blowing those ants up.
We beat these 3 ants last night with most of our group between the levels of 62-64. i think only myself, lv. 70 blm/whm and maybe another mage was over level 65. The fight was'nt easy but it was fun. Once the pld. was beat we all rested back up while I and the rdm kept the other 2 ants slept. Killed the blm ant 2nd, he was a pushover. The rng ant killed myself with 10% of his health left. I cast blizzard 3 just as he used his hate reset move, the whm died also. It took us 20 min. or so to win. Just remember to keep at the pld ant, if you can beat him the other 2 are easy. Also if you have a pld have him use invincible if the rng. ant uses eagle eye. Also, even though they are "impossible to guage" when you check them, I would guess that to me, a lv. 70, that they would be about vt.
Who do I have to talk to so I can have a ugly baby picture in my avatar ?
^^^^^^^^^^^^ So True.

Just a suggestion, kill the rng last, his two hour will most likly 1 shot kill any party member. He did to our lvl 74 Mnk ><. That way if someone does die to his 2 hour your not trying to finish off the other one or two nm's without a 6th party member. Other than that, it's like any other bcnm battle, pretty much a pushover. ^^
Ok we did this with a very strange setup.
66 PLD/WAR
70 RDM/BLM
62 RDM/BLM
61 THF/NIN
66 WHM/BLM
67 BLM/WHM
We fought in the order PLD > RNG > BLM. The THF and I were the only melee and we didn't figure out a skillchain before going in. The organization on this was obviously not very good. I thought we were goners. It was a long hard fight, but we finished it...in *cough* 21 minutes >_>. The PLD took the longest to kill. It had a bunch of HP! After getting it down to about 1/4 of it's HP it startted spamming Sand Trap. For those of you who remember exp'ing off ants in quicksand caves, Sand Trap is an AoE hate reset. It petrifies you for 2 rl seconds then resets all your hate...of course then rushing the mages. It's ok if they doi it once of twice...but he did it like 6 times from having 1/4 life left to dead. I had to use all my ja' then Cover, then my 2 hour...it was horrid. At that point I thought we were all screwed...that was only 1 our of 3 of the ants. So PLD went down and everybody healed. BLM kept sleepga up very well and 70 RDM backed him up with sleep 2. We were all 75% full MP and decided we were going to run out of time at that rate...so let's keep going. We went for the RNG. The RNG hits fast and hard...it's ranged accuracy is damn good too. It would shoot me then hit me then shoot me then hit me. It was very hard to cure myself b/c it kept interrupting me. I still managed to keep hate well. (only time I would ever lose hate, was when they would use "Sand Trap".) The rangers special attack hit me for like 700. But my WHM was able to keep me alive with np (I have 1230 HP so it wasn't too bad). The ranger took less time to kill than the PLD...we got him down. Now we only had the BLM left. We all started healing and it started casting Burst on me.....great. Luckily my BLM unhealed and stunned it, RDM sleep 2 ed it, other RDM silenced it. They saved my *** quick. I only had like 700 HP left at the time...I would have been toast. We healed again to about 3/4 full and went for it. (at this point we were mostly freaked out b/c we thought we were going to run out of time.) The BLM ant was too weak. We slaughtered him...no doubt the easiest one to kill. (I forgot to mention I expected to get the AoE silence alot...we maybe got it 5 times combining all the ants, and got Sand Trap atleast 10). Finished it in 21 and some odd minutes...and got yet another excellent cutscene (yay!). So...there is hope in this BCNM without a conventional party setup...just be smart and expect to take a looooong time in the BCNM :)

Wow, this one was so easy I couldn't stop laughing.
My static party took them on tonight, before going on to the ZM8 battle (also a pushover).
NIN/WAR
WAR/NIN
MNK/WAR
BRD/WHM
RDM/BLM
WHM/BLM
All level 70.
We slept them, and took on the PLD antican first.
He used Invincible, but he went down without any trouble.
We took on the RNG next. He never had the chance to use his 2hr.
We killed the BLM last.
The fight took about 4 minutes.
A competent party at level 70 will have no problem with this at all.

The order we did it was Blm>Rng>Pld. Rdms shared sleeping duties. I enfeebled the sleeping Ants while the other Rdm enfeebled the awake Ant. Blm died quickly. Silened him so he didn't get any magic off. Rng died pretty quick too. He did ESS off, but didn't one-shot kill anyone. Pld took a little while to kill. Also, slightly annoying cuz as soon as he was unsilened he spamed Cure spells.
All casters took Echo Drops, so AOE silence wasn't a big deal. No one died on any of the three runs either. Only close call was when someone got lost coming out of the BC.

Just to comment i'd recommend blm pld rng as the best way to fight this BCNM. The blm if he wakes up and uses a ~ga spell your PT will be hurting, he also dies really fast ES sleepga kept the other 2 slept for 75% of his life and sleep II put the pld right back to sleep. Ranger last in case someone dies from EES you can sleep the ranger and raise and regroup without having to worry about any other mob around.
If you have had any good practice doing BCMN's you know sleep is the main key in controlling the fight. However we found the best way to beat them in order was doing the BLM last since the PLD and RNG gave the most problems. Go for the PLD first since it has sleep resist natural ability, it obviously has the most DEF so it's hp widdles away slowly. BLM dies the quickest so do the RNG next because it's 2hr completely took out our 70 NIN in one shot.
We did this mission 3 times yesterday since people werent on all at the same time..
All I can say is it's really not bad at all.
1st run we did with 5 people
72thf
73sam
73rdm
70smn
65whm
Rdm focused on sleeping and keeping the other mages healed.
Smn opened up on the pld with levithans spinndrive or whatever its called and he held hate for a bit till me and the sam renkeid with light then I tanked for the rest of it. Then we rested a little bit after the pld and went to the blm where the sam voked and i took hate when I closed with sharkbite for light.
Notes: Sharkbite was doing 1k+dmg with no trick partner and light was resisted barely or did full dmg. I never got hit with any melee hits so apparently blink and high evasion > than these mobs. I think i took a total of 200 dmg throughout the whole fight from the AOE.
Keep the pld and blm silenced at all times and this is a simple fight. I'm not sure how much the rng EES wouldve done since he tried it while blink was up.
These guys are basically just like normal anticans with a bit more HP, at least for the Pld and they dont have high evasion or defense.
Did it again with a 73 pld and swapped the 70 smn for a 65 rdm. The pld took a bit of dmg and we were kinda low on MP when we finished but we didntn even bother resting mp after the pld. Finished in 10 mins
Did it a 3rd time with:
72thf
75mnk
73pld
70rng
65rdm
69rdm
The rdms forgot to silence the blm and he got a couple 'ga spells so we all ended up in the yellow at one time or another and with only 2 mages both subbing blm we had slight healing issues and hardly any of us played together before so we had some renkei problems(i.e. missed all but 1). But with mnk and rng and myself just going all out we finished in a little over 5 mins and the mnk almost died when he pulled too much hate and the rng EES him and hit a few other shots in. Was the closest callsof the 3 fights be we finished by far the fastest.
All I can say is it's really not bad at all.
1st run we did with 5 people
72thf
73sam
73rdm
70smn
65whm
Rdm focused on sleeping and keeping the other mages healed.
Smn opened up on the pld with levithans spinndrive or whatever its called and he held hate for a bit till me and the sam renkeid with light then I tanked for the rest of it. Then we rested a little bit after the pld and went to the blm where the sam voked and i took hate when I closed with sharkbite for light.
Notes: Sharkbite was doing 1k+dmg with no trick partner and light was resisted barely or did full dmg. I never got hit with any melee hits so apparently blink and high evasion > than these mobs. I think i took a total of 200 dmg throughout the whole fight from the AOE.

Please don't EVER try this if the majority of your party is less than level 65. We tried this tonight with a party of 62-65(RDM, SAM, BRD, WHM, DRK, NIN) and yeah... it just wasn't working. 3 deaths! We just don't know when to give up! And we never even killed a single one of the ants.
If you are going to go in at a low level the majority of your party, ESPECIALLY the people in charge of sleeping the mobs, almost HAVE to be higher level. Otherwise you'll just have a lot of pain and frustration on your hands.
