A Question of Faith  

Just solo'd this as 68THF/NIN, just cleared the 2 top gobs (BLM and WHM type) rested up and popped it. When it spawned it seemed to use 2 TP moves it did Bionic Boost and Heavy Wisk that goes through shadows, only did about 40 DMG. I then brought it back up and into the tunnel with the 2 bats in case the gobs might respawn during the fight, but they didn't. Pretty much easy fight, missed more times than actually hit me. And when he did hit me was around 20-30 DMG, got a Heavy Blow off while my shadows were down only did 80 DMG. All in all, easy fight just like all Bugbear types... tons of HP bought 4 Dancing Edges brought him down^^

It's "Dawn Talisman" not Dawn Amulet.

Could I solo him as a 50 Rng/Nin? Also can you sleep him? If I couldnt solo him would me and a 46 Sam/War be able to duo him? Thanks.

Just solo'd this guy yesterday as 62RDM/30BLM, easy fight with all buffs up (haste, enfire, ice spikes, phalanx, stoneskin and of course refresh). I noticed he had a tendancy to use counter-stance (I believe it was called bionic something, can't really remember) followed by a WS right after, so I don't know what was up with that...didn't matter too much though, since the counter-stance is dispel-able. I didn't clear the area before the fight, and ended up having two moblins (WHM and BLM) join in on the fun...they were easily slept though, and I was aspir-ing them every chance I got. I only dropped to lower than 800HP once during the fight, when stoneskin wore while I was defense buffing, drain against the Bugaboo put me over that mark fast enough though. Finished the NM and took care of his two friends one at a time, didn't even need to convert, ended with full HP and 170~ish MP remaining. Looking forward to the next quest dealing with these wacky Moblins. :)

I just soloed this big brute as a NIN49/WHM24. I won, but it was a toughie.

With all nin debuffs on at all time, and the best evasion setup money can buy, it took maybe 7-8 minutes. Had to spam the elemental wheel more or less 10 times. At 49, I considered this a worthy challenge. I had just soloed the Ashman 5 minutes ago -- this brute is tougher. Might want to practice on the Ashman first.

Edit: I managed to avoid links/aggro by positioning myself in the corner behind the chests. Can't be sure it's 100% safe, but it worked for me.

Dont b afraid cause he's a NM, i fought him as a 60NIN/30THF and he never touched me. Its an ez 3k gil ^^

I soloed the battle as a 62 drk/blm. Threw on some ice spikes and cut the NM to shreads. The counterstance was annoying, but not overly problematic. I had on my AF set and removed my +acc gear in favor of defensive equipment, and it seemed to miss a fair amount along with suffering the paralyze effect of the spikes. Bio2, Absorb-Str/Vit, add in a few Guillotines, and it died rather unhappily.

Just beat this guy a little while ago. Im a lvl 62 rdm, had no real difficulty. Just buffed myself up, and continued like I would for any tough monster. I did notice my attacks getting countered somewhat, but his attacks are weak, hitting me for maybe 30 withs toneskin down. I read how the 62 pld had no luck with it,but the rdm killed easy, so i wasnt quite sure going in,but seems you just need a capable job for soloing (sry plds :X )

Bugallug must spawn at different lvls every time. i went there as 62PLD and threw everything i had at it... it pwned me without even thinking twice... so beware...

**edit** dont try to go talk to the gob if someone else came and killed the nm after you died.... bad idea... ; ;

After receving reward from Virmage, return to Ayame for cutscene and start new quest Return to the Depths.

did this today. went there as 66sam/23blm (because of warp :P )
this mob is mean and it hits fast and hard. i probably had a problem because of my subjob and the fact that i decided to wear my haubergeon (evasion is your best friend when tanking ;)). i also should have meditated before the fight.
well, i killed it but it took me down to 39HP.
but it was fun^^

Am I just a freakin' moron? I have fought this Bugallug 3 times and died twice, but not won a single fight with it.

I'm a 62WHM/31BLM. The first fight I did after reading the posts here (Oh, it's so easy; easily beat it as a 59 rdm, blah blah) so I grabbed my staff and went to town on it. About halfway through it's life bar, I'm out of MP, I'm badly in need of some healing and I'm smacking my benediction macro. Dead. (Thank goodness for despawns and Reraise II)

Second attempt, later the same day. I decide to be smart, stock up on some juices, eat a fish mithkabob, get a Battle Staff and try again. Things are going pretty well this time around, especially when it dawned on my tiny little brain to actually put the bear to sleep, then juice, then heal with my dark staff. I felt like a genius.

So that was working out ok until a kindly player decided, in his somehow skewed wisdom, to Cure V me...TWICE. Needless to say, I wasted the remainder of my MP resleeping, and getting hate back just in time for me to...yep, die AGAIN. Then the Bugallug promptly went after the Cure V guy, who promptly killed him in two hits. -_-; (To be fair, the Bugbear was almost dead. I would have had him, if not for the little "chasing him around" mishap)

The third time, a goblin linked. That hadn't happened the previous two times, so I can only surmise that my "3rd time's a charm" motto was surprisingly WRONG. Ah well, better luck next time.

I just wanted to post something here that maybe others can relate to. From my experience, this has been neither easy nor fun. Good luck ^^

Did this last night (61rdm/blm) Before starting i buffed up, spawned the mob which it immediatly used counterstance (and promptly dispelled).

Fight wasnt too bad.. untill the nearby gobs linked, sadly the first thing it cast was Silence and well things went downhill. However once the NM was killed and silence wore the 2 linked gobs were no problem. a sleep 2 on one and drain/aspir my way back to ok status.

So for those doing this you may want to consider clearing out some of the nearby mobs to avoid links.

yay! My first walkthrough on allakhazam (^.^)

Don't worry too much about the NM. I didn't had any buff on when it spawned on me and aggroed a Earth elem when I started to cast them and still won without much trouble.
