Talk:Di'Zho Spongeshell

I like how it says "can be defeated solo by certain jobs, see: testimonials" and there's not a single account of a soloist defeating it. :D

Testimonials[edit]

  • Solo 99 Thf/Dnc np. Thaumas coat, one aphotic kurki and full Th gear. other gear delve and skirmish. Turn away when he absorbs physical damage. Start with tp from nq mobs in area.

not sure on spawn time been about an hour so far.

  • Killed with Nin/war Rdm/nin and Rng/nin (ranger had to log @ 30% hp). Similar fight to a low-man Cactrot Rapido.
  • Killed with: PLD/NIN, RDM/WHM, BLU/NIN. Basically, I (the BLU) split hate with our PLD at points during the fight in order to let him recast, as well as used Diamondhide and Temporal Shift for Stun, since Head Butt seems to not register as stun. The BLU should also help the RDM to heal the PLD if you're using this strat, and rest when he's in physical immunity mode. Also, we camped right where he pops, just pulled him a little south to a "cove" like area surrounded by rocks, which helped w/ Wrath of Gu'Dha not pushing us out into aggro, also, nothing comes close enough to that area to link w/ him.
  • Duo'd as rdm/nin's. Bouncing hate back and forth. Just DOTed, Nuke when you can without curing him. Fight took about 1 1/2 hours. - Kizite and Rimie.
  • Possible to solo as a 99 PUP/DNC (possibly /sam would be better for more WSs during non-physical absorb). Use Soulsoother because you will NOT get enough TP to keep yourself alive. Basically just turn your back when he absorbs physical (and Retrieve), have a Light and Dark Maneuver up at all times, Deploy->Retrieve to cure yourself and possibly allow your puppet to Haste you. Cure before you get below 400HP, because Ore Lob can take you out. He mostly used Wrath of Gu'Dha but when he did use Ore Lob I was unprepared and died. I say "possible" to solo as 99 PUP because the fight was taking way too long and I had somewhere to be. Just saw him while I was looking for Da'Dha Hundredmask for the sweet cuffs and decided to try him before really looking at the description on here. I wouldn't care to solo this as anything else, except maybe BST with a good supply of throw-away Charm mobs and/or jug pets. He hits hard. Automaton curing can handle it, it's just a long fight. Cooldown is actually godly for PUP solo because it allows you to use Maneuvers right after Deactivate->Activate so you can get a Light up for a necessary cure after getting full puppet mana.
