The Battle Plan
2 DD With 2 Hi-potions each.
1 Healer with 2 pinapple juices.
Step 1~Have the best person suited to take the most damage go in first and hit the center leach (Pepper).
Step 2~ The other DD Voke Pepper and both players focus their attacks on Pepper. (note * if the healer can paralyze her it will help)
Step 3~ After Pepper is dead have the DD that was holding hate Voke Prune.
Step 4 ~ See Step 2, but replace “Pepper�? with “Prune�?, then move on to Step 5.
Step 5~ Once Prune is dead one of the 2 DD’s Voke Phoedme. (note * Healer maybe low on MP so use Hi-potions as needed)
Step 6~ Open the Armory Crate
Estimated Time 5 min

The Battle Plan
PLD/WAR & (RDM/NIN x2)
or
WAR/??? & (RDM/NIN x2)
or
RDM/NIN x3
With the above set up this fight is extremely easy.
RDM should dual wield daggers, ( I recommend Decurion's Dagger Damage: 10 Delay: 178 Accuracy: 2)
Step 1~Cast En-thunder
Step 2~Have each RDM attack one of the lesser Crabs while the Tank Vokes the center one.
Step 3~Once each RDM has hate then both gang up on one of the crabs and defeat it first.
Step 4~Move on to the other Crab and defeat that.
Step 5~Finally kill the main Crab (note* save 9 MP to recast En-thunder)
Estimated Time 4 min

Have the SMN 2hr with Ramuh. (Only way I have seen it done easy)
~Optional way~ (I don't recommend, but can be done)
PLD/WAR 2hr hold in a corner with WHM healing them
RNG/??? 2hr the first fish than the others go down fairly easy.
Estimated Time 2 min

There are plenty of Garrison Guides, I am not going to go into detail here.

If anyone would like to add any other tips feel free to do so.
This is what I know works. As of the writing of this I have helped 9 people obtain their Mannequin.
Good Luck,
