Bcnm 50

[Explorer]

Hey everybody, Explorer here. I'm looking for some help to do the BCNM 50 in the Qu'Bi Arena. One of the drops is the Kakanpu, which is pretty much the only thing drgs can use in our ammo slot that is any benefeit to us. Att+2 breath damage taken -2%. I was just wondering if anybody would be willing to help me with this, just leave a reply and let me know.

A little info about the fight. I'm not sure if anybody has done this one before, it doesnt seem that many people have. It's a fight against 4 different Golems and they are immune to Sleep and Charm. This one only drops 4 itmes, 2 of which I would be happy with. The Kakanpu, which is the drg specific item, and the optical needle which gives +1 acc. It can also drop a Mantra Coin: Lv.50 Dmg:21 Delay:276 MP+12 WHM/BLM/RDM/SMN and can also drop a Nazar Bonjuk: Lv.50 Dmg:21 Delay:276 INT+1 MND+1 CHR+2 WHM/BLM/BRD/SMN. Now if anybody is willing to help but might not have the gear for it, I'm willing to help with getting you the gear you need, but ive only got about 250k on me.
Thanks

Explorer

I'd LOVE to help - my Ranger is at 49... but I think that would still be okay for a BCNM 50? I can try to gain a level in the next day or so and actually attain lvl 50.

I already have all my level 50 equipment.

I know nothing about the BCNM and what party setups work best to defeat it. Could you post some more information on that? Is a Ranger helpful?

- edit - don't worry about cost or anything, as long as you provide the beastmen seals I don't need any compensation, and I don't need/want any of the items. :)

Any ideas about the strategy necessary to beat this BCNM?

I've looked around but am unable to find any information.

4 Golems all immune to Charm and Sleep sound very unpleasant.

[Drashogar]

Boy no kidding, I'm wondering how this BCNM is beaten also. *shudders*

[Myrjala]

The best thing I can think of from the top of my head is as many Ninjas as possible. Maybe 3 Ninja Blink tanks and a PLD tank?

The three NIN could occupy 3 of the golems while the PLD and the rest of the party beat up on #4. Slowly whittiling away at the Golems - fight one, while Ninjas blink tank the others.

For the other 2 party members... I'm thinking you'd most likely need a damage dealer and a healer - say a RDM and RNG or a WHM and a BLM? Redmage would probably be better to Refresh the PLD.

Pretty smart, I bet that'd work! Just tweak the formula from there to include whoever wants to go I guess.

The only real downfall here is that I don't know if it would be possible to blink-tank the golems for that LONG.

ONE unlucky ninja would get stuck blinktanking a golem while the other three are finished off. I'm not an expert on what Ninjas are capable of at 50, but are they really capable of blinktanking for that long a period of time?

Also this strategy pretty much tosses out the window whatever special attacks the golems use. Based on the description, I'm guessing things like Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga, etc... lots of elemental area effect spells.

o.O Mantra Coin .... +12 Mp........ wow... *drool*

Actually forget that - I'm stupid.

Once the first golem is finished off, the 3 NIN can just keep blink tanking the remaining two golems, provoking them off each other when the shadows wear off.

I suppose that the key would be finishing off one golem as fast as possible? Who knows how many hit points they have though.

[Alathar]

I'd be willing to help if you need a DRK.

[Yetti]

i'll be online tonight (friday) and im down for this

[Myrjala]

Ack! I'm not level 50 yet!! ><

If people still want to try, give me a tell. I won't be able to bring my kick-*** gun to the fight, but all my other equipment is up to date.

be careful w/ blink tanks. golems do nasty aoe which will knock off all shadows...
