Numbers Needed[edit]

We did this with 4 people. PLD/DNC, BST/DNC, BST/WHM, BLM/WHM. Was a bit rough, but once you get the hang of it its okay. One Dipper was used by each BST and about a stack of Zeta's each. BLM slept the Tav Rams, PLD killed them one at a time. BST's put pets on NM and pulled it outside of the tunnel leading to the pop spot to have room to kite hate resets and kill adds. Took about 45 min and no one melee'd except the pets. Could be done solo as the adds it calls do not link to the pet. --Pyratic 0600, 05 January 2012 (UTC)

We tried this for the heck of it last night with 11~ people for most of it.

  • PLD/NIN (Kiter)
  • WHM
  • RDM
  • SAM
  • RNG
  • BLM (2box'd)


  • PLD/NIN (Add tank)
  • WHM (2box'd)
  • BLM
  • WHM
  • WAR

At first we pulled it just outside the 75 exp area, but later we pulled it further away to the G/H8 area so the rams would take longer to get to us. The NM is easily (?) sleepable and we slept it if one of the PLDs were down when a ram came or we were low on MP.

About halfway we did SAM > RNG : Fragmentation SC for the BLMs to MB it. Really need a WHM to follow the kiter and remove Max HP Down and Petrify. He would hit me for 380-420 per hit with my kiting (pure enmity) setup. Swapping in -DMG gear when he doesn't have Gravity on would be a good idea.

Also, when he would cast Holy, he'd do it 3-4 times in a row and not move when he did. Overall it took us about 2 hours to kill him with a few deaths. --Mosh-Ifrit 00:04, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Spawn Item[edit]

Does trading the Relic Shield to spawn Amaltheia result in losing the shield?

--Speck'sBacon 19:34, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

After consulting the Paladin forum, it seems the shield is lost when traded (as is usual for most, but not all) ??? trades. I'm updating the page to reflect this.

Yes you only trade the stage 1 "Relic Shield" found uncommonly in Dynamis-Jeuno. You do NOT trade any form of upgraded relic shield I rocky 21:02, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

DoT Resistance[edit]

Even though I probably won't do this fight, I'm wondering if Scholars' Helix spells are resisted the same way other DoTs are. Just curious to see if anyone thought to check this. Qweenneko 06:39, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
