22 people
Schwertleite's Chamber
Mega Boss: Manticore
Sub Mobs: Bombs and worms

We began as everyone did and I pulled bombs. Of course, about 15 followed and we wiped. We didn't pull the bird that flew by. I also tried looking for it and I think it depoped after it passes by once.
We had a pld/war with cuisses sac pull the manticore to use and took the next 15 mins to get it to 65%. It simply has a ton of HP as everyone else says. I would definitely say that these are relatively easy depending on the mega boss type. They can be sac pulled.

our linkshell went into one of them with about24-26 people (two got left outside due to our illustrious leader poking one of 15-20 ghosts.

total in room were 15-20 ghosts (spammed poisonga2 and cursega. occasional thundaga3)
while killing them, someone said they saw a bird fly by
killed all ghosts
boss was a Marid. got it down around the 70's in 15 mins total time, with last 7 spent wiping due to Djigga (chigoe) spamming our blms.
we all assumed it was just extremely high hp at first since went down so slowly, i think it was due to regen we saw after most had wiped.

We speculate that bird had something to do with making the mobs easier.
I speculate that bird removed the regen that we saw after stop dealing damage. the regen rate was extremely fast, and best spells we saw were blizaga3 w/ ice shot. Our pld/nin was able to tank reliably until he was overwhelmed by Djiggas ( most of group had not yet finished with ghosts, and couldnt sleepga in time) I took (pld/war in shield+ build) avg hits 220 (blocked damage ~80-90), never critted me, and 2 ws: ~640 and ~480. Even though mob has draw in, it is kiteable, and can be graved. only problem with that is the Djigga's move kinda fast. I was able to kite 3 of them with for a few minutes, but was weakened and had no mage support (was more running away than kiting)
Also, these Djigga/chigoes did not die the same as most ue to jump/crit/bash.

[carbuncleSarius]

we did Grimgerde's Chamber, first we got upteen hounds, a tiger that despawned before we could get around to it, and a orobon type monster.
cleared the hounds but ran out of time on the orobon due to the high defense of orobon.

My LS's run was Bats and we suspect birds ... we killed the bats then jumped right into mega boss (was a big ram, each hit was with knockback effect) and we couldnt get the mega boss pased like I think it was 67% and ran out of time.

Odd thing was, I was there as 69 BRD, tried to elegy it then ballad my party, and got hit, sat there did nothing he came back for me, killed me, I raise up, do nothing, and it comes back and kills me again. The PLD we had tanking is one of the best I know and is very well geared, so I don't blame him ... but for some reason it wouldnt get off me and another RDM.

Edit: Forgot to add another group confirmed M head as a drop ... lol.

[Clemz]

Any word on what they killed? Specific orders on anything?

[Hopefulki]

We won the one with the Wivre.

I pulled the dark elementals and exploded pretty quick but then bards did horde lullaby and we killed 1 by 1.

A bird appeared 1/2 way through, we slept but when it woke it left / despawned.

We then tried to zerg the Wivre with a bunch of 2 hrs and killed it with 50 sec or so left.

The wivre has very high defense and a LOT of HP, i'd say near 100k.

A chest popped and we opened and got the p. hand abjuration along with a key item and 500 points.

VERY fun

[Clemz]

Nice, grats on the fancy new abj. Maybe the bird/tiger/whatever else it could be, removes something from the boss, be it HP, defense, regen or what have you.



Taken from the dialog table. We had a black crow fly by, anyone with the crow remeber what color theirs was?

[Equip]

19 people, 7 undead toad things, 1 boss Manticore.
we didnt kill bird thing.


we got the mage feet drop abj =)

[Eliseos]

we had a red crow from TGs group. disapeared after we killed the jnuns though. our kill order was chigoes > jnuns > manticore, with the bird disapearing betweenthe jnuns and manticore.

[Solefald]

Did Siegrune's chamber (I think), enemies were Chigoes and boss was a Marid called Hildesvini. Having a sac puller aggro the chigoes and kite them around while the main group picked them off worked fairly well. Wiped once due to boss aggro on the main group, but reraised and cleared the room of chigoes. The boss spawns chigoes of its own called Djigga, that hit much harder than the normal ones but may have less hp / die from crits unlike the Chigoes. Hildesvini has a ws called "proboscis " that healed it for 6.5k hp. It draws in (can't be kited). It also hits PLD/WAR quite hard. It might have added effect: absorb buff on its melee hits, but I'm not clear on that.

edit: didn't win, of course, and we saw the bird but I dont know what color it was, it despawned eventually.

[blight]

those are bst pets

[Kleiner]

We entered a room filled with Rotting Kuskarl.

we got gangbanged.

somehow the RDM magically pulled hate off the kiter and it went downhill from there.

the bird was a pink vulture type.. like you see up in sky, the Flamingos.. it flew by as we wiped.


.. we RRed and set the THF to kiting skeles.

the SAME EXACT RDM without castign a single spell got every skeleton on him again.

we wiped.

[Rotten Cotton]

So you had 7 undead toads (Doomed Family mobs right?), and 1 manticore?

Others have had 30+ lesser mobs plus a boss mob..... sounds a little unbalanced to me.

Haven't tried this myself yet, but it sounds a bit to random to become popular, if your faced with a random of "this could be winable, or it could be freakin impossible, lets just enter and see". This is the reason alot of these newer events are proving unpopulour, random doesn't = fresh new experiances, it just leaves you with the firm belief that your going to get shit on four out of every five runs you go on.

[Shelldon]

We tried this a little bit ago. Had 22 people. A few tanks a few blm couple brds and the rest DD. Uh the chamber we did began with an R i think.. it was at the top of the list. Well we entered and there were a shit load of skeletons and some ghosts. There was also a big ass cat fish looking mob which i guess was the boss just chillin by himself in the far back. Started of pullin the skeles had 3 ppl kitin them and brds lulabying what they could. Skeles werent too bad but there were so many of them. Eventualy Agrod a ghost and about 15+ ghosts just trained out of nowhere. And a black sheep. A random black sheep. Needless to say, we got spanked. Oh and the sheep depopped for some reason after we all died.

Not sure how that was suposed to work. We decided to mayb try next time have a nin kite at night or someone with crimson legs or striders kite all the mobs and just go crazy on the boss, if that would work at all. But im tryin to read as many posts as i can to gather as much info. I heard that one ls on Ramuh won so far, a lot that were there when we were waitin lost though.

[Eliseos]

For those groups that won, please list the amount of therion ichor you obtained, how many you went in with, how many and what type of mobs you killed (ie, skip the mobs and only killed the boss, or killed everything but the random bird/sheep/tiger, or killed everything including the random mob). I saw 500 on a screen earlier in this thread, I'm wondering if thats the max per run, or if something affects it.

Edit: As listed in the OP, my group got 500 after killing 2 sets of mobs, having the random mob disappear, and killing the boss.

[Garrgor]

The bird we saw had one of the names of one of Odin's ravens from old Norse mythology. Muninn (meaning memory) was the bird's name. It was brown. I assume the other, red bird, was Huginn (thought). The tigers, although I didn't see them named (but just skimmed this article), are probably Odin's wolves, Geri and Freki (Gere and Freke). Odin gives his meat to them, possibly increasing the drop rate on that meat that drops. Who knows.


Edit: The bird we had, when was tagged, left. Possibly one fights while the other fleas. Maybe they randomly flee or fight. Another point of interest is that the group that killed the bird got 3 meat drops.

From Grimnismal:

The whole world wide, every day,
fly Hugin and Munin;
I worry lest Hugin should fall in flight,
yet more I fear for Munin.


Possibly why we had Muginn flee. Possibly why Huginn didn't, unless the person who killed the bird killed Muninn.

[talentwo]

My pol died on me but i just did Eij with a JP pick up 36 man fight. Was really pathetic actually had like 7 jnuns and a manticore that took like 15mins to kill. Blms and smns did the big dmg surprise ? Nope ! Got 500 pts for the clear the next lvls should give more, well thats what i could get out of what the jps were saying.

[Naramaska]

Got the Skeletons/Orobon pop set. Killed the skeletons in quick work with BRD sleeps, although AoE sucked hard. Ran out of time with the Orobon at 22%. The thing has fucking immense amounts of HP--MS Rampage from our Ridill WAR's with BRD buffs took off 1-2% HP if they were lucky.

[Zellos]

Joined a group for this tonight. We did Rossweise's chamber and got a ton of dark elementals... boss was the Malboro. We got annihilated after killing maybe one or two of them

Didn't see any birds but I did see a tiger. Not sure if it was only one or if it despawned... so from reading the posts I'm guessing the trash mobs are random and the bosses stay the same from room to room? Or is it all random between all the rooms?

[HolyDragoonSeraphus]

19 People.
Got Ghosts,Chigoes and a Marid. The Ghosts linked when pulled, we zerged one but the mages couldn't sleep them, lullaby,ES+Sleepga2 it all wore off after mere seconds, completely overwhelmed.

Also a random tiger was running around.
