pld, whm, blm, drk, rng, rng It was one of those empty with the tentacles. With the damage we had it went down fast. One move to watch out for is Impalement, did 500+ damage to our pld. Seethers start popping at less than 1/2 hp, but we paid no attention to them and finished off the mob, named Envier. Bring a lot of dd and it's no problem.

For shits 'n giggles, I took 6 blm to do sheep in antlion clothing bc. It is *extremely* hard. There are 4 antlions, all are teh type that hide under the ground and ambush you (for 600+ dmg through stoneskin and blink I might add). You must walk around trying to find them.

The first one, named Taruchala or something, is the hardest by far. He attacked first, and we all used thundaga III, figuring he'd go splat... wrong, it did maybe 1/4 of his hp. We lucked out, though, and he used teh sandpit special (goes back underground). We decided to press ahead and leave him till later. The other 3 are easy, one volley of IV series nukes killed each. After those, we backtracked to the hard one, who of course pops up and 1-hits one of the blms. We just traded hate around using IV series till he died.

Since you lose no XP here, I'd recommend everybody buffing w/ reraise, and saving font till you die, then pop up and keep casting w/ font. Everybody should keep stoneskin and blink up at all times.

We recieved 2500xp and a Viridian Urushi (which I assume is a craft item for a new armor set). As I said, pt was 6x lvl 75 blm/whm (some /rdm).

As a side note, the antlions (at least the hard one), couldn't be slept, bound, or gravitied with or without ES.

Ramses, did your party try to use any animas? I'm interested if the animas used for the boss fights also work for the ENM.

From: Ramses Guest Posted: 2005-02-25 10:22:53	Reply Quote
I can't say for sure, but I would assume animas work since the boss is an Empty. I would bring animas and use them at 1/3 hp if you are going with less dd and have a longer fight. Having 2 rng drk and a blm in my party, we didn't need to do much more than control hate and fire away. I was the drk and did get hate a couple of times, but at level 30 drk can take some hits.

Did both the lv 40 capped ones today. Diremite one gave 3k exp and a Quickbelt. The MUCH MUCH MUCH harder Flytrap one gave 2.5k exp and a Reverend Sash. Flytrap seemed to have major resisting half the time and took 16 minutes to kill :X

Just cleared out ENM Mea tonight. 3000 EXP each, and three Clusters (bitter, somber, startling) so it appears the cluster drops are random like an ordinary BCNM fight.

Anima DO WORK on the Mea ENM, so the other Promyvion ENMs should fall to them as well.

Just be careful on this thing - its opening hit is a one-hit wonder out of left field that just about flattened our tank in one shot - over 550HP damage right through Protect and Blink.

The Seethers apparently die when the Envier does - one showed up but I never saw it after the Envier dropped

I invited myself to a JPN party forming to go do the bearclaw pinnacle ENM. We did teh ENM "Brothers". There are 2 Taurus mobs with the usual obnoxiuos attacks. One is very big, the Eldertaur, and ones smaller, Mindertaur. At one point my nin tank got doomed, and 6 holy waters, and 4 cursna's later, she died. We got her up, and finished off the mobs. The PT setup was nin, blm, blm, mnk, rdm, bst. We let the bst kite the bigger mob w/ courrier carrie while we killed teh smaller one. Beware, they both have a distinct love for the spell Cure V, and constantly use it on themselves and each other.

When we finally won, we popped coffer to recieve 3500xp, eltoro leather, and a scouter's rope.

Thanks for all the great info here, folks. We still need more info on these things in order to start getting them in the database. Specifically, we need:

1) Details on the necessary steps to activate each of the ENM quest zones.
2) Info on the fights: the name of the mobs in the arena, the specific drops/exp if you win, strategies that did or didn't work.
3) Extra info on the rewards, especially the Rare/Ex items that you turn in to receive the earrings; we need a list of which one is turned into what.

The info is definitely appreciated, and will make its way into the database, hopefully within the next week.

For starting info, here's a lengthy quote from Vilurum in a post elsewhere:

Spire of Dem/Holla/Mea/Vahzl: talk to NPC in Ru'Lude (near zone line to Upper Jeuno). Don't have to do anything more.

Monarch Linn: talk to NPC in Safehold (near AH). Don't have to do anything more.

Boneyard Gully: talk to NPC at Attohwa zone-in line. Take the item he gives you, climb Parradamo Tor, trade it to the Cradle of Rebirth at the top. Return to NPC and trade new item back.

Bearclaw Pinnacle: same process as Attohwa (except you're in Uleguerand), except it's FAR more dangerous and difficult to get to the spot where you trade the one item to get the other item (that you then take back to the NPC).

Shrouded Maw: farm Diremite Assaulters (EP at 75) for a rare-ex Florid Stone, trade to mithra at Tenshodo entrance in Lower Jeuno.

Mine Shaft #2716: farm Bugbear Trashmen (EP at 75) for a rare-ex Sylvan Stone, trade to goblin in Oldton near one of the zone lines to North Gustaberg (the zone line that's further southeast, that nobody ever uses).

Important note on MS2716 key item: if you possess this, you can't warp to the BC area by giving Tarnotik an item (i.e. Ahriman Tears or Snow Lily). If you try, he'll insist that you give him the ENM key item first. Then you can warp just fine. However, if you do so, you thus lose the ENM key item (so you'd only do this if you wanted to go to MS2716 for a different reason, such as a CoP mission) ... and to get it back, you have to go farm up another Sylvan Stone.

In other words, to do the ENM in MS2716, you actually have to get there the "hard way". By playing with furnace hatches in Newton and the three levers in Oldton.

Because of what's up with MS2716, I have the sinking feeling that you'll have to repeat the prerequisites to get the key item every single time you want to repeat the ENM in MS2716, Shrouded Maw, Boneyard, or Bearclaw. Which, for all of them except Boneyard - climbing the tor really isn't so bad once you've done it a few times and know the way up - is quite a nuisance. Uleguerand in particular, majorly sucks. And the other two require farming up rare-ex drops, and we're not talking a common drop that you see every other kill. (Though it's not ridiculously uncommon either.)

Also, here's a nice walkthrough for the first three Promyvion ENM.

Post here with anything not already listed above... thanks!

MysteryTour updated with ENM fight & drop information!

Yeah, it looks like all this info is finally getting pulled together. We just put in our own ENM Guide here, with as much info as I could dig up currently.
