A simple known strategy for the Beastmaster quest: A New Dawn,
Quote:
Go to the back left sarcophagus at D-4.
Clear the room and click on the sarcophagus to spawn Taifun and Trombe (tigers) and Sturm (an undead hound).
Taifun and Trombe can be slept.
Can be sneaked popped from the left side to avoid sight aggro from Taifun and Trombe.
You only need to defeat Sturm. If you charmed Taifun and Trombe (recommended) they will despawn after Sturm dies. ~FFXiclopedia.com


Lucky I was with a level 75 BST/whm ( OP method IMO, to win my pants but hey, glad to have help) It was suggested that the tigers were made uncharmable hence "making it tougher"?? (no more strategy) :(

1/2 BTW- not the fun quest i remember (nostalgia-kill)

SHOUTOUT to my boys!: Lifestream and "Amused..."
...hoping for the worst, but still needs my coat, PEACE! 8-)

because someone set them as uncharmable long ago and it has never been deemed important enough to change. a lot of stuff ends up like that -- if it is still possible to complete the content, the bugs are left in.

Pretty sure it was like this on retail too. And I'm not sure if this is just you venting about a specific 'oversight', or if you're looking for a strategy. But i will point out that when i did this 2 years ago, the corner popping trick didn't work for me. They instantly attacked me in the corner, through sneak. Tried a few different times a few different ways.

If you are any one else looking for a low-man/solo strategy though, here's what I did:
I eventually came back on whm, which was the highest job i had at the time, and not spectacularly geared. I cleared as many undead as possible by kiting them all up toward the entrance. Then went back toward the sarcophagus, spawned them and just kited them up toward the entrance. (I may have used sleepga and then woke the NM, but i can't remember for certain). Just before zoning i bound the NM, zoned, and then went back inside and retagged the hound which went unclaimed. The two adds returned back down, and it took me about an hour to kill the NM right at the entrance. With several bind/sleep + rest cycles. After i killed NM, the adds were gone by the time i got back down to the sarcophagus.

The point is though, just find some means to separate them, and fight the NM by the zone.
