  • Beli (RNG)
  • Thrym (WAR)
  • Skadi (BST)
    • May use Charm, which lasts 3 minutes.

Temenos-N7.jpg

Enemies: (Goblins)

  • Goblin Theurgist x2 (BLM)
  • Goblin Fencer x2 (RDM)
  • Goblin Warlord (DRK)
  • All drop 1-2 Ancient Beastcoins
  • Cannot pull from the side without linking all the others.
  • Can be pet pulled, though as always this can fail if the mob stops to cast before chasing you, giving the others time to link.
    • One way to avoid all casting on pulls is to pull a mob right after it casts a buff spell.
    • A way to avoid casting of an offensive spell on the pull is to run away after sending in your pet so that you are out of casting range when your pet is gone. This doesn't work as well with RDM, since RDM has more buff spells.
  • The final chest appears in the middle of the room when all the goblins are defeated.
  • AF+1 item: DRG, MNK, THF, WHM, NIN, COR, SCH ?
