ENM - Automaton Assault info

From: Yasuchika Guest Posted: 2005-04-27 16:41:11	Reply Quote
When we went in with 3 Tarutaru, the Hume Automaton seemed to be weak to Hand-to-hand damage, and the Galka Automaton was taking double damage from magic spells. (Took over 800 damage from 1 Aero III) Not sure what the Elvaan, Tarutaru and Mithra Automatons are weak against. :/

Thanks for the info; the ENM has been updated with that info.

Now for the inevitable questions... -What was your party setup? -How hard were they hitting? -How soon did the next bot start attacking while you were fighting the one before? -Did you win? (if so what were the drops?) Details man, details!

-What was your party setup?

We went in as MNK, WHM and BLM(me), mostly letting the MNK kill the Automatons.

-How hard were they hitting?

They were all hitting for around 70ish, I'm guessing. They all use great swords.

-How soon did the next bot start attacking while you were fighting the one before?

Around 20% or so did the next one charge, we started with the Hume and then Elvaan > Mithra > Galka attacked in that order. I'd finish off the one we were fighting, only time we ran into trouble was vs. the Mithra, who seems to be resistant to magic.

-Did you win? (if so what were the drops?)

Nah, we died to the galka because we ran out of MP and 2h. >_< We'll win next time though.

Also, Poison potions are nice for this fight because they can all use AoE Sleep. (Shockwave WS)

Did the Hume one recently, NIN58 BST60 BLM60 (60 capped) was our setup. A great tip for this is to pull the first enemy you fight back to the entrance - you'll get a very respectable time to rest before the next one arrives, although you won't break any time records this way. We had a pretty easy time, I (BLM) stayed back in case of Shockwave to heal the melees. It seemed like they came in order of phys resistance (least->most), the third one (mithra) took pretty low phys damage but very low magic damage... none of them managed to hit our NIN very much though... the only one that gave us a little trouble was the Galka, since he was on me after I Aero 3 for 880 and MB Water 3 for 1000 ^^;; but it would have been no trouble if we had realized at the start to have the NIN use elemental ninjutsu, which destroys him for about 150 damage a pop. Reward 2000 XP, no items at all;;. This is a really fun BC to go do with a couple friends if you're bored, since getting into it is pretty effortless, and watching the Galk with his stupid face makes for some good laughs^^.

Apparently the RSE earring drops are quite rare... No one I've talked to that's beaten this has gotten anything other than XP.
