| - Even easier: bring MNK/DNC and Soothing Healer NPC. Go in, dodge/focus/hundred fists. I (mnk75 in lvl75 gear, aka crap at lvl50cap) ended up with ~50% HP after 3x cure4 and 1x cure3 from NPC, eating 4 Blighted Gloom (300-500dmg). Lining up with Soothing Healer failed. mnk/dnc ok 1st attempt i thought i was tough so went head to toe with mob "oops" big mistake wiped me in less than a minute.mnk/dnc 2nd attempt used no food or 2 hour.simply stood tight up directly behind my npc, drain samba 2 then simply healed me or npc as needed he used blighted gloom but hit npc not me.mob at 25% I USED 100 fists job done. Ski.Quetzalcoatl Battle vs. Vassago Strategy
* MNK/NIN I set my NPC to Stalwart Shield, a very wise choice. Upon entering the BCNM Lv.50 cap I first eat a meat mithkabob & then cast Utsusemi: Ichi, wait for timer to cool down. I ran to the main room with Vassago and stayed far away, he will not attack until you get close. My NPC provoked and I ran up behind him as if my NPC would use cover on me. It's important to line up directly behind your NPC. Luckily Vassago casted Absorb-TP right away and that bought us an early edge in the battle. He did land a lucky critical hit on my NPC but he casted cure 3 right away to stay 100%HP. Vassago then casted Blizzard so another lucky break for us. He took away two of my shadows by now and he began to cast his Blighted Gloom special attack. Success as my NPC took the attack and countered him for 202 damage. Vassago casted Fire so gave us another edge. My NPC was a bit damaged at this point and I was at full HP. After some melee exchanges between us and the enemy he tries a second Blighted Gloom. Success as my NPC reverses it on him! My NPC is out of mp now. At about 30% HP left for Vassago I have TP and use Raging Fists for 346 damage then I Icarus wing and go again for 406 damage. Vassago finally gets me with a Blighted Gloom for 406 damage. He then promptly casts Absorb-TP on me again. I just WS so he got an amazing 3 TP from me. I used an x-potion+3 which recovered 180 HP but that was unneeded. We easily finished him off. I did not use my 2HR but did use Focus & Dodge at the beginning of battle. Vassago missed me alot as well as my NPC. He hit my NPC for 49, 152(critical), 49 and 96. I also fought him on Darksday which would be the worst day to do so.
