after doing some research for this last nite,i couldnt find any info on how to get to this nm.so with my group in tow,we wandered around to where wiki said it was.what wiki failed to say was thee is a ledge in the way of getting to the ??? @ F-7 on 2nd caedarva mire(see ffxi atlas)and that you have to have marathon through illrisi atoll.so here it is ,in detail how to get to Experimental lamia.(NOTE: before you start this make sure 1 or more of your members has a lamia fang key,can be obtained from ??? in caedarva mire from the azouph isle staging point,near the zone to ilrisi atoll IMPORTANT!)



start at the ilrisi atoll staging point and follow the black line to D10 which then will switch you to this map:

again follow the black line to F-9 where you will incounter a gate that NEEDS a lamia fang key to open it. you will then be on this map:


map details explaines it but as u enter the gate go straight right through another gate:
you will then be back ob this map:

then from G8 follow the black line again, taking the east path off the ship,slowly circling round back to west side and caedarva mire zone.you should then be on this map:

lots of qutrub ,lamia and skele mobs here.skele mobs and lamia around the ???.to get to the ??? u have to drop down 1 ledgeand the ??? will be slightly west in the top corner of this ledge(marked by black dot on map)

as for the fight itself,due to a couple ppl falling off the 2 ledges instead of one,we couldnt do this fight properly.best strat would be for pop person to pull nm to ledge and pt then pull it up the ledge and then to the zone where the fight can be easier,but this way also means pop person has to die and be tractored.a large group is recomended asthe lamia that the Experimental pops are quite tough,so kiting or multiple tanks mght be helpful.
Hope this little guide is of some help to someone and avoid all the grief i had to go through!
