Mission Name	Calm Before the Storm
Number	PM7-4

← Previous Mission	Next Mission →
Fire in the Eyes of Men	The Warrior's Path

Walkthrough

• You will now have to kill three NMs. They can be done in any order and all are uncapped.

Bibiki Bay

• Head to Bibiki Bay and find the ??? at F-6 inside a cave.
• Buff up and select the ??? to spawn a NM Sea Monk named Dalham.

• Dalham seems to be about level 72, judging from how it hits and takes damage from local pets.
• The number of attacks this monster gets each round increases as his HP drops.
  • He will start the fight with normal attack speed, only hitting once per round.
  • As his HP drops to about 70% a "2-Hour" animation will trigger and he will begin attacking twice per round.
  • At about 40% he will use the "2 Hour" animation again, and begin attacking 3 times per round.
  • He will use it once more around 10~15%, attacking at near Hundred Fists speed.
• Builds resistance to Bind and Gravity extremely quickly.
• Cannot be slept.

• Has an Additional Effect: Water damage for about 21~ damage on a THF75.
• After it is dead click the ??? again for a cutscene.

Carpenters' Landing

• Head to Jugner Forest (J-8) and enter Carpenters' Landing. The ??? is at I-9 on the edge of the water to the northwest of the docks.
• Buff up and select the ??? to spawn a NM Cryptonberry Executor (NIN)
  • After you pop the Cryptonberry Executor pull him to the dock at the South Landing (J-10) before doing any damage and you will gain no Enmity from the Cryptonberry Assassins when they pop at the ???. The Cryptonberry Assassins will take approximately 2-4 minutes to despawn.
• Once the NIN takes any damage, three Cryptonberry Assassins (BLM, SMN, THF) will spawn at the ???.
• The Tonberries helpers are very resistant to sleep.
• If you are far enough away from the ??? when you first do damage to the Cryptonberry Executor you can avoid getting any Enmity from the Cryptonberry Assassins.
• The Executor will use Mijin Gakure unless you kill it first; this can do up to 4000 damage each.
• The Assassins use Manafont, Astral Flow and Perfect Dodge.
• The NMs all /say something when they use their 2h.
  • The Executor says "Through this we ssseek our just reward..."
  • The Assassins say, "...Take up thy lanternsss. The truth we shall illuminate."
• Mijin Gakure can also be wasted by a person kiting it and staying out of range. The NIN will probably use Mijin Gakure around 3 minutes after he spawns Assassins.
• All Cryptonberry Assassins appear to despawn after Cryptonberry Executor uses Mijin Gakure, provided the NM is pulled far enough away (see below) and the Cryptonberry Assassins do not aggro.

• The SMN has a random elemental pet. It will often use the Astral Flow of the same element, so you can try that Barspell. Its Astral Flow does about 800 damage to a level 75 player unresisted. The pet can be slept/reposed.
  • Note, the SMN Cryptonberry can summon TWO pets at once, so ignore his elemental, and be careful as he gets low on HP.
• The Executor has about 5000 HP.

• After the Tonberries are dead click the ??? again for a cutscene.

Make sure you do not defeat the Cryptonberry Executor until all 3 Cryptonberry Assassins despawn.

If you kill the Cryptonberry Executor while the Cryptonberry Assassins are still up, talking to the ??? will just result in a message a tree has fallen here, and you will have to zone and start over.

Misareaux Coast

• Head to Misareaux Coast and check a Storage Compartment in the shed at E-7 to spawn the NM bugard Boggelmann.

• Remember to Dispel its Defense Boost special (Scutum).
• It has about 7600 HP, and will use Blood Weapon at low health.
• Special Attack : Hungry Crunch -> Drain + Dispel Food + Drains TP.
• Bloody bolts will activate infrequently for little HP gain.

• After it is dead click the Storage Compartment again for a cutscene and a key item "Vessel of Light".

Finishing the Mission

• Talk to Cid in the Metalworks (H-8) for a cutscene.
• Talk to Sueleen in the Sealion's Den (H-6) for a cutscene.

My Chocobo Angelbelle coming 1st at the Races :D

- Twit

Chocobo

These large, herbivorous birds are unable to fly, but their powerful legs allow them to run at high speeds. Its size and impressive speed make it the most popular type of mount in Vana'diel. Although too small to allow flight, the chocobo's wings assist in keeping balance and also function as a type of brake. In the past, the Elvaan primarily used chocobos as mounts and general labor, but as of late, chocobos have been raised all over the world and are a popular form of transportation. Great skill is required to ride them due to their wild nature.

These birds are very fond of Gysahl Greens. When given a gysahl green, a chocobo will be able to dig for buried items. Although chocobos do love gysahl greens, when they are housed in the stables they eat San d'Orian Carrots for their high nutritional value and Cupid Worms to build strong bones and muscles.

In order to obtain a Chocobo License to ride a chocobo, you must first have attained level 20, and completed the Chocobo's Wounds quest in Upper Jeuno. Once a license has been obtained, players level 20 or higher may rent a chocobo from a number of Chocobo Rentersscattered across Vana'diel with a base riding duration of 30 minutes. Players level 15 through 19 may rent a chocobo from the stables in San d'Oria, Bastok, or Windurst but can only ride for 15 minutes, and are not affected by equipment bonuses.

History of the Chocobo

A species native to the La Theine Plateau, the wild Chocobos were once seen racing across the plains in great numbers. However, as the people of Vana'diel began to realize the utility of this fleet-footed creature, more and more Chocobos were captured and domesticated. A truly wild Chocobo is now a rare sight to behold.

Elvaan had raised Chocobos for use in farming, hunting, and general labor since before recorded history. But once the practice of riding bareback was civilized with the invention of reins and saddles, the number of people using Chocobo mounts suddenly soared. Merchants now preferred Chocobos for long, overland journeys, and the military adopted the creatures for use in highly mobile cavalry units. Today they are raised by the Vana'diel Chocobo Society who over see their care and dispatch them to Chocobo stables throughout Vana'diel. People have begun selective breeding programs since the unprecedented fascination with the creature has spread to every corner of Vana'diel. Recently, the Chocobo Racing held at a local level has been elevated to the world stage, garnering unprecedented attention.

CoP 6-2 Spheroids

Just trying to make my way through Chains of Promathia. I did recently film the Airship Fight in Chains of Promathia. but the file was corrupt and i can get it to work, it wasnt a success, but it was quite fun, and if you want any pointer on how to piss of Queenp(Shadowslayah) the guide book was definately in that video, im just kidding ^^

- Twit

Spheroids

• They have three special attacks that they all use together. If one of them is asleep at the time, they will use it when they wake up.
  • Reactive Armor: Shock Spikes
  • Electromagnetic Field: AoE ~117 damage, heavy knockback, strips Utsusemi.
  • Electrocharge: AoE ~60-100 lightning damage.
• Sleeping the Spheroids and picking them off one at a time is a proven strategy.
  • They will gradually build up a Sleep resistance.
  • They will gradually build up a resistance to Bind.
  • The NMs are susceptible to Lullaby, but build up resistance fast. Each casting of Lullaby lasts 3 seconds less than the previous one, and eventually they just resist entirely.
• The NMs are aggressive and will attack bystanders in the case the popping party dies.
• Can be defeated solo by certain jobs around level 75, but it is suggested to do this fight with a healer and a sleeper.

Snoll Tzar COP 3-5

Was asked to help do this mission, and i said "Yes" of course, first bit didn't go as planned. but we pulled it off in the end. Congratulations Guys.

Snoll Tzar

Notes:

• Appears in battlefield event for Promathia Mission 5-3/Ulmia Path.
• You have 45 seconds to defeat it before it will use Hypothermal Combustion, which will result in failure. The snoll will start to inflate as it approaches destruction.
• Using Shu'Meyo Salt on it will delay Hypothermal Combustion by 20 seconds, buying more time to kill it. Salt cannot be reapplied again until it "shakes it off."
• Uses the following special attacks:

• Arctic Impact: AoE ice damage (~275)
• Berserk
• Cold Wave: Severe frost effect (~31/tic) AoE
• Hiemal Storm: Very high icy breath damage (over 600)
• It's recommended to try to stun Cold Wave and Hiemal Storm, if possible, as they can result in severe damage.
