| Re: CoP - Calm Before the storm NM question Over the weekend I made an attempt to solo the Cryptonberry Executer(NIN) and 3 Cryptonberry Assassins (THF, SMN, BLM) which all have 2 hour of their associated jobs.
I won!!!o!1!1n11!!e!1!!!
It took 3 attempts to do it tho.
First Attempt: BLM/NIN
Buffed: Blink(Blink Band), Shock Spikes
Touch the ??? and made a run for the docks.
Cryptonberry Executer popped and casts Utsusemi: Ni and ran after me. Got to the docks and cast Thunder 4 when he was in range(Yeah I forgot to remove his shadows). Cast Poisonga, he yells for his assassin friends. I cast Thunder 4(834 dmg) as he casts the paralyze Ninjitsu and it sticks. He came closer and did a three hit combo (range attack(Last shadow), one of the elemental Ninjitsu (122), and a normal attack(98)). I started to cast Utsusemi: Ichi but he goes into another triple attack which eats all of my shadows. Now I am exposed and I swear I saw him grin evilly. Two rounds later I am tasting wooden planks.
Second Attempt: BLM/RDM
Buffed: Blink(Blink Band), Ice Spikes, Protect 2, Shell 2, Phalanx, StoneSkin and summoned my NPC(Fierce Attacker). Note: I had him at almost 100 tp before I poped th Cryptonberry Executer.
Touch the ??? and made a run for the docks.
Cryptonberry Executer popped and one of the elemental Ninjitsu and ran after me. Got to the docks and cast Posionga when he was in range(Just in case). He casts one of the elemental Ninjitsu and I cast Thunder 4(823 dmg). He walks forward I swing and NPC engages. NPC hits(63) and does Penta Strike(pole arm WS for 365). NPC gets hate and I cast Gravity. I run away to keep the Executer at range and cast Blizzard 4(756). I run away forgetting I have Gravity on him and I auto disengage (NPC Disengages). I cast Fire 4(638) then Thunder 4(789) as I am kiting. I two hour (no MP left) Gravity wears off as I casting Blizzard 4(749) and he runs up and hits me. Then I see "Cryptonberry Executer readies Mijin Gakure" and I run away...but not quick enough because my NPC and I take 1024 damage.
Third Attempt(about 2 hours later >.> ): BLM/RDM
Same Buffs as second attempt and NPC almost to 100tp.
The only difference from the second attempt was I kept in range not to disengage. I casted dia 2 just after the NPC use the WS Sweep. Kited him around with gravity and nuked. Right before I drop the Executer, I run to the opening where the ??? is and then I dropped him. Ran for the ??? (I scan around just in case is assassin friends were still guarding the ???, but they despawned) and got my cutscene.
Next weekend I am going to try the Kraken NM Dalham PSN ID: Kelshan Currently Playing: Orange Box: Episode 2(Stupid Garden Gnome!) Last edited by Losrase : 05-05-2008 at 08:44 AM. Reason: some spelling, i might have missed a few tho |
