Vana'diel Bestiary: Aspidochelone
| 
General Information
Aspidochelone Special Attacks
Historical InformationAspidochelone (also known as the Asp-Turtle) is said to be a gigantic combination of a turtle and an asp. Because of its massive size, how it was positioned in the ocean, and due to the fact that trees and bushes would grow upon its shell, it would often be mistaken for a large island. Sailors landing on Aspidochelone would often set campfires on it and try to stay on it overnight, only to drown once the Aspidochelone sank down beneath the surface. The sea monster described in the first voyage of Sinbad the Sailor was believed to have been in description of the Aspidochelone.

yesterday i got to see aspido rage after being held for over an hour funny stuff he proceded to draw in and drop everyone who had hate, good stuff best way to take him out is with lots of BLM it'll go down pretty fast. adds arent to bad, as 75 thf i could solo most adds, so its not too big a problem, good luck.
confirming adaman ore drop. Got two of these last time our LS took this guy down.

whats the spawntime for him and how many people do u need to kill him?
Aspid is a lottery pop of Adamantoise... Aspid pops once.. sometimes twice a week. He has crazy regen, but if you have enough nukers, hes not that hard. Just have mages mild nuke while hes in his shell to counter his regen and MB using Blizzard IV or Blizzaga III (if you're clear of adds) and he'll go down rather fast.

What spells to stun:
What to dispel:
What special attacks:
Above it says weak to ice, but does thunder do more damage? Pretend its light day so you can rule out days & just focus on pure damage.
Thanks to anyone who can fill out my blanks /cheer!

Respectivly;
He doesn't cast, and I assume immune to stun; didn't see any going off in fights with him.
Only thing to dispel is "Harden Shell" which is a defense boost.
His attacks are;
Aqua Breath - Conial water damage, hits for roughly 600+
Earth Breath - Conial earth damage, hits roughly the same as aqua.
Harden Shell - Defense boost.
Tortoise Song - AOE moves that removes all bard songs, does no damage.
Tortoise Stomp (I think that's what it's called ^^;) - Conial damage, pretty tough.. Taru magi beware. <_<;
Pretty sure that's all, and yes, you do Blizzard spells on him.
Also, he will go into his shell (tucks his head into it) over the course of the battle, espcially after large spurts of damage. During this time, his HP will tick up at 2-3% a tick, which lasts quite a while if not taken care of. To make him get out, you have to have all BLM/RDM cast their highest levels of blizzard which will eventually force him out. GL :3

Aspid's tortoise song dispels ALL buffs, not just songs.
Also, Tortoise Stomp is untargetted, so ALL people in the area (read other LSs and out-of-alliance link handlers) will be hit with it.

My LS killed it, and it dropped both Crimson Body and Dalmatica. Though it was the first time I've ever seen a King drop two at a time.
8/1 update gives you an hour to kill this before an almost guarenteed wipe.
Quick question, but do you know if when his HP is fully restored, will he go back to being normal again?
They go back into 'normal mode' after a few ticks of HP are restored. My LS tried this on Roc. After a good-for-nothing HNMLS that is known for stealing wiped to it, the gilsellers took it (stole rather, as there was still a member from the said HNMLS alive with hate - who was MPKED by the gilsellers). They proceeded to wipe when it went into super mode. We then claimed him after 2 ticks, and finsihed him in a matter of minutes. He was back to normal by then.

I can personally vouch for this. I can't say how hard he was before the 08/01/05 update, since I never fought him. But the key to this fight is speed, and BLMs. As others have said, his regen is very strong, if he is not nuked while in his shell, you will feel like you are making no progress on him.
At about the one-hour mark in this fight. We finally had him down to about 20%. He then went absolutely crazy. I am convinced that no alliance, of even the most experienced players could have taken him after he reaches "Hyper" mode.
He pulls everyone in, one at a time, and one-hit kills them. We had a few 75 Plds with decent god gear that were getting one-hit at this point. If we would have had one or two more BLMs at the start, would would have won fine, because we wouldn't have let him get ridiculously strong.
Oh yeah, after a certain point, you can no longer nuke him for any damage. Literally, the ONLY damage you can do to him is from Spirits Within.
I'm sad we ended up losing, but it was a tremendously fun fight and brought the LS a bit closer together.

shadow dragon wouldnt look like a normal mob to a first-time observer
Lol, I was pulling the other day and walked right past this thing right as some people were claiming it. Didn't even know it was HNM.
The 'neptunal abjuration: body' thread says that he also drops this. If anyone reads this, can they confirm this?--or is this just hearsay?

Can anyone confirm that this HNM drops the scroll to uncurse the Crimson Scale Mail?
There are only about two or three people on the Asura server with Crimson Scale Mail, and they are all Japanese, so I can not ask where they got the abjuration from.

Yes it drops Wyrmal Abjuration: Body (the scroll you're talking about to uncurse the Cursed Mail to make Crimson Mail.) I got mine from Aspid about a week and a half ago. It's a rare drop tho. :(

Personally, i've never seen it drop M. Abj. Bd. Before, though i've heard through people that it has. I have howver, seen the M. Abj. Ft. drop, its a fairly common drop considering its a one week lottery. I think its about 66% drop rate on the feet.
Doesn't drop m. abj body.

This guy is fun! though those manticores are a pain. But... WHOOPS! I LEANED BACK A LITTLE TOO FAR ON MY CHAIR lol. This guy is pretty freaky when your not in a party though and just adventuring! lol
Aspido is a pretty easy battle, only trouble coming from the agro from Perys, Manticores and Raptors. A full alliance, 2 on aspido,1 on links can take him out without too much trouble.
Im assuming this guy pops on the northern half of the valley. Is there a problem with the manticores at lvl 73-75?
The Manticores conned Tough at 71.

I fought this the other day with a full alliance from my LS its a really fun fight rather long but fun. My LS didnt have to much of a difficult time with this but i think its cause we had 18 lvl 73-75 so its a fun fight if u prepare^^

I think both this guy, and the normal Adamantoise drop the Adamantoise Egg used in the Black Belt Quest
The godly items needed for the black belt quest can be dropped by the regular Behemoth, Adamantoise, etc., but they are 100% drops from the rare spawns like King Behemoth, Aspidochelone, and so on.

This guy does take a very long time to beat. His Auto-Regen when he goes into his shell is insane. It took about 2 hours to kill. Its kinda fun being one of the blm's and getting "drawn in" by this guy...Although kinda scary when he hits you for 400 and then uses AOE and die. He only dropped one Abj. and some other misc. ****. I got the Heavy Cuisses though. Sell for about 400k on Garuda.

o.O Why? This really isn't a place you want to display personal info lol... lots of people visit this site. That makes it inappropriate.
my LS humbaba beat it. 18 level 70-75(some lower, maybe 60-65ish) and it took 2 hours 30min to beat him. dropped abjuration and a shell... very very tough fight. he puts head inside shell and regens almost all of his hp if you cant do major damage to him. also nasty front breath AOE.

Has anyone one seen anyone beet this thing
i saw a vid of somone using the kraken club to whup his **** my god ... just nonstop hits
That video was DRK/NIN vs. Adamantoise
Adamantoise is a MUCH weaker version of this HNM but he's hard none the less.

My LS has beaten this guy before. He's the King version of Adamantoise (such as King Behemoth is the King version of Behemoth). From what I see he's not as strong as King Behemoth though. If properly organized he doesn't seem that bad.
