Might as well post items needed for this since killing empties for that Ex Memory is a pain to do alone

Poison Potions, around 4 for each melee is needed
Holy Waters his AOE also does curse, a MUST

Go farm recollections for this! Dem was nice to Me, Kerchak, Rohon and Ravan :) I'm going to be ready for this one!

Also like I said in the other thread, lets from up good parties and go farm until everyone is ready to go :) I'll be in the shell after 8PM MTN, anyone who needs pearls let me know here or in-game.

Prom alliance, BYOP (bring your own party) :)

Tonight when I logged on some LS mates were making a run at Holla, so I joined them. Alliance was a mess, some careless folk etc, other than that, we got to spire just fine. We lost the NM fight due to a minor dose of bad luck, however the strategy for the most part was flawless. Strategy we used is as follows:

Preferred PT setup: PLD, RNG, RNG, SAM, SAM, RDM
Rare/Ex Item is *not* needed.
Each person in PT needs the following:
2-3 Poison Potions to prevent AoE Sleep
3 Holy Waters to cure Curse AoE

PLD needs 10 Hi-Potions/Other melee need 5 or more.
RDM needs Ethers of course.

Upon entering battlefield, NO BUFFS/FOOD, NM can absorb them and grow stronger. Everyone use Poison Potion but RDM(Poison to counter Sleep AoE) Keep an eye out and make sure you have poison going the whole time or you will be slept. SAM's need to meditate upon entering.
Once ready, PLD and SAM run to steps. RDM cast's Elemental Seal + Gravity, PLD vokes and begins to kite it. With Gravity on it won't land hit's easily. 2nd voker stands in center and ranged attacks/vokes when needed.
RNG/RNG/SAM stand on steps and unload ranged attacks, RDM needs to keep Gravity on at *all* times and stay out of AoE range, run in cast, run back and heal PLD if needed or recover MP if possible.
Once NM is @ 40% health or lower, RNG's use Sharpshot > Barrage > Eagle Eye Shot. PLD then uses Invincible and stands still for the following. SAM in center Enpi's and 2HRs, meditate before final WS of 2HR, RNG: Piercing Arrow > Tachi: Enpi. 2nd SAM runs in and Enpi's + 2HR, meditate and 2nd RNG: Piercing Arrow > Tachi: Enpi.

Keep gravity at all times. My group failed due to poison wearing off with a AoE sleep an instant later getting most of us. 2nd SAM couldn't get 2HR off. We all died with the NM having 5-10% Health left. We used our 2HR's at 50%, I believe if we would have continued kiting and Ranging it to 40% we would have won with ease.

The first 1/2 of the fight, kiting and ranging it is very simple and easy. Pulling off the 2HR's and avoiding/preventing the AoE's is the tough part. Rare/Ex item isn't necessarily needed if you perform well, however if things get rough, it will help in that case. I hope to join you guys and kick *** and take some names. GL to all. Take care ^^

I went into holla with a bad PT setup (or so I thought). Pt I dont recall getting cursed at all (maybe just lucky), but it is IMPERITIVE(SP?) that your tank bring hi-potions, and have a whm.

my PT was pld(me, but I like ranger more) rng, rng, sam, sam, whm, and we got through it pretty easy, and I was told that the Hi-potions saved the PT cause the whm didn't have to cure me as much early on.

Neways g'luck with it, I need to get revenge on dem ><; Had it beat but 2nd sam unleashed his 2hr right after the mobs def boost so all his tachi: enpi's did 0 dmg O.O >< and I forgot about the x-potions I had to use cause I kept getting /t while in the fight, grrr.

Hey I would love to be a part of this but I can't do it tonight unfortunately (got my static BST party planned).

In the future I'm totally up for it though!!!

What do I need to start buying to get prepared for this so maybe i can do one this weekend?

I have allmy jobs listed below...I'm just kinda a noobie at the whole Promyvion thing
#18 Sep 30 2004 at 5:16 PM Rating: Decent
hopefully this goes better then that hellish expirance in dem last nite. but iv never had any trouble with a cerberus alliance promyvion climb, mea went very fast and smoothly. its when you are forced to pick up random people, who are usually unprepared and unwilling to listen, that ruins a climb for everyone.

ill be getting on now, and i got a recolection for an EX anime last nite in dem for our Pt eil.

Our trip didn't go so well. I learned all about kiting, but my group failed twice >.< ... Did anyone succeed tonight?

I think we would have won the second time if we still had 2 hrs. Oh well. Whose up for another try this weekend? Also, I still have to do Mea.

Man, Thrilla and Hito >< my victory over Dem lastnight became bitter sweet ; ;. I /t Hito after we won and he said you guys had lost for the 3rd time >< I wanted to wait to go to the new area but after dem, it dumped me right out there.

Just call on me Thrilla, I'm down to help. Need to get you AND Hito done with this stuff.

We had issues lastnight in Dem >< when going from 3-4th floor 1/2 the alliance ported the other half couldn't, then when we got there my nin/rng decided it took to long and left >< (in the spire mind you). Then the alliance leader started re-arranging the PT's to make two good PT's and well that of course didn't go over well with those left behind (we got /t spammed in the middle of the fight).

I dont blame them for being upset, but it honestly did go almost as fair as it could have. The only thing that would ahve been fair was for certain people to /random for the spot in the PT.

Oh well, as bad as I feel that they got left behind I would help those left behind in a heart beat. The only reason I got to go automatically was I was the ONLY ranger.

Our setup was RNG, WAR, PLD?, two WHM, RDM. We tried three times. It didn't work. We went in with no buffs and no food except for the mages (we don't think +MP will give the NM an edge :)

Gravity and Paralyze landed 70-80% of the time. Slow and Blind worked fine too. We had the main tank running around with the NM while we grinded HPs out of it.

Each time when the NM was almost dead (1-5% health) it started draining and going back to 10-15% health and decimating the party (which was alamost at full health / MPs.) Even with our 2 hours.

I think to beat that guy more DD with damage dealing two hours are needed.

We shall try again!
