Talk:Tiamat

There seems to be an issue for whether Tiamat lands for 3 mins or 2 mins. As a summoner, I can definately land three bloodpacts on him while he is on the ground. With - bp gear, that is about a 50 second recast. 3*50 sec > 2 mins. Vivix 16:18, 17 September 2006 (EDT)

Actually, now that I think about it, he lifts off immediately after that third bloodpact. Perhaps 2 min, 30 sec is a better estimate of the time he spends on the ground. Vivix 17:38, 17 September 2006 (EDT).

If you BP right as he lands, you can get off 3 BPs in one landing. Also stuns do adjust his ground time a bit. --Gatsby 17:43, 17 September 2006 (EDT)

Ah yes, I am a fool, lol. 3 bp = 2 min wait. My mistake. Vivix 03:08, 25 September 2006 (EDT).

I wish people would stop editing drops rates for just one item on a mob. Seriously. Is it that hard to follow directions? Jerynh 17:15, 8 May 2009 (EST)

Testimonials[edit]

  • Killable by: At least 8 level 75 characters or 3-4 characters at level 90. However, more people will be required depending on how experienced the players are.
  • Tiamat lands and flies on two-minute intervals. However, a phase change will be forced after 10,000 damage is dealt, regardless of the time spent in its current phase. (Note: If Mighty Strikes is active while Tiamat is on the ground, she will not fly under any circumstances until the duration of Mighty Strikes has expired. Nor will Tiamat use any TP abilities during Mighty Strikes.)
  • Tiamat's air attacks are fire based. Because of this, it is recommended that your tanks have fire resist, or Magic Defense sets.
  • There are many aggressive monsters in the area, including Cave Antlions, Air Elementals, Earth Elementals, Bifrons and Arch Corses. It is recommended to have an outside party to control these.
  • Tiamat can cast Firaga III while in the air and on the ground, therefore a Dark Knight, Black Mage, or other job capable of a reliable, long-distance Stun is recommended.
