As listed in the Double Dragonian BCNM info, both of those mobs are susceptible to Sleep, Gravity, etc. I believe most groups go in and Sleep one while beating up the other; beyond that tho, I don't know any specifics. If you do find any info about it, it'd be helpful to have.

As for the drop info, it's as accurate as I can get it; but given the fact that the Durandel didn't show up as being in this BCNM in other places, it might not be a very common drop from this particular BCNM.

Indeed, they are susceptable to Sleep and Grav. Not sure on optimum party set-up(being a MNK I despise so called optimum party set-ups for BCs) The friends I have been doing it with and I are 4/4 so far. Our first four runs were RDM/BLM, BRD/WHM, PLD/WAR, BLM/???(think RDM), RNG/NIN, and I MNK/WAR. We are trying a slightly different set-up soon. I suggest replacing the BRD, their Sleep isn't too stellar for this BC.
Now for Strategy:

Run in ES+Sleep the Berzerker, Melee the exceedingly easy Minstrel, don't bother eating food or buffing too much since the Minstrels VoidSong takes away pretty much all of your buffs including food, which completely sucked since I eat Yellow Curry. Keep the Minstrels Blaze Spikes down because it does about 150 a hit. Once the Minstrel is dead KITE the Berzerker it has two insanely damaging AoE attacks(talking Insta-Death type stuff for the most part)Body Slam and Heavy Stomp. It also has a severe cone/line attack called Chaos Blade does some damage and gives status effect that is worse than Bane. That's about it.

I suppose you could possibly try a heavy BLM set-up, for the most part if it can be slept, then a BLM party can put it to shame.

Just remember to KITE the Berzerker as much as possible avoid the AoEs it does, and Nuke/Ranged attack it.

uh, these 'tips' are for the wrong BCNM...in fact they arent even a BCNM, but a ENM.


You're giving the guy tips for the ENM "Brothers".

we just beat this the other day 6/6 times. Our setup was NIN NIN BLM SMN WHM RDM. I was BLM, I walked in and immediately slept the Minster dragon. Each tank provoked one dragon and we focused on the berzerker. The berzerker is a lower level so he's way easier to take out fast. Be very fast on cursna and it's easy. We got Durandel and Damascus Ingot so that does confirm those drops. A lot of minuet earrings and other varios junk as well. Hope that helps^^
