Advice On Unlocking DRG Please?

[Snowball]

Unfortunately this has all gone terribly wrong for me! :( :cry:

I have just gone through this quest to get DRG, "The Holy Crest" (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/The_Holy_Crest)
and at the end, you have to fight a big dragon called Cyranuce in Ghelsba Outpost. I tried it and picked up some stuff, (rolanberry Pies, hi-ether postions) but I just cannot fight this thing! He was too tough and killed me!! :( :(

Does anyone know what level he is, and which level I would do better to fight him at please?

I know it goes through a cutscene, but is it possible to get someone to help you fight him, (there maybe someone I can call on ingame to help me) or is it STRICTLTY solo only?

I was really hoping very keenly that I get started on the DRG job this evening too, more's the pity! :( :(

You can go in with up to 6 people. It's recommended that you be at least 60 I believe before soloing him.

Simply do a search for any high level Dragoon on your server, and I'm almost positive you'll find at least one willing to lay the hurt down on ol' Cyranuce. :thumbsup:

BTW, he's level 40, can be taken down by a full party of lvl 30s, 3 level 40s, a solo rdm/nin at 50, or just about any Dragoon 55-60+. Tossing in a 75 Dragoon gets you a 50-75% dead Mr. Cutauleon by the time you get out of the initial cutscene (and that's even taking into account skipping all the text). ;)

I am not aiming to be horrible here but did you try reading through the links you are posting before asking these sorts of questions?

From the link you posted:


Travel to the hut at G-10 in Ghelsba Outpost (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Ghelsba_Outpost). When ready, open the door and spawn Cyranuce M Cutauleon (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Cyranuce_M_Cutauleon).
Defeat Cyranuce M Cutauleon (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/Cyranuce_M_Cutauleon) to complete the quest. Job Dragoon may take a few minutes to appear on your menu.

if it was me this would be a really big nudge to me to check out the Cyranuce link seeing as how you have to beat him. If you did that you see:

Notes:

Spawned by Quest: The Holy Crest (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/The_Holy_Crest)
Killable by: 6 characters level 30, 3 characters level 40, soloable by RDM/NIN 50
Around 2500HP

at the bottom of his page. That lets you know that you don't have to solo him and gives you a rough idea of what you need to beat it. Ffxilopedia is very good for giving you a rough idea of what you need to beat a particular NM.

Also, when looking at NM pages if you see that a bst, blu, smn using astral flow or rdm/nin (all very strong soloers) can solo something at a certain level, unless you are playing one of those jobs you are going to want to be a higher level before you consider trying to solo it yourself.

Some friends and I went and did several job quests together so we had 50 whm/blm, 38 rdm/whm and 40 drg/thf for this fight. It took about 2 minutes but we did have the advantage of dragon killer. If you have a level 50+ melee friend and you go whm, you can probably duo it.

thats right, you should read whats within those links first before making a post like this ^^

Its Snowball.

Get used to it.

[neokaril]

Beat him with my static duo of...and don't laugh THF/WHM and WAR/MNK at lvl 40 no potions required.. by the by if you are having trouble and you can have a max of 6, use them,, but it is a very easy fight IMO

Get used to it.For serious. It's always a treat seeing how badly a walkthrough can be misinterpreted though.
