It was a dark and stormy night, Bio V abound with no end in sight, when the improbable, not the impossible, happened...

It's a tale of struggle and strife, staying up way past your bedtime, hitting /shutdown in frustration when your eyes are already closing, but NO! You won't sleep, you won't rest, you won't stop until you've won:

A friend of mine, (not Sane), asked me to record this fight, so I thought I'd post here for a little shameless channel promotion.

Good job but I bet NIN could solo without a brd either.

Might be something neat to shoot for next.

I tried NIN/BRD x2, RDM + NIN, NIN/BLM, and no matter what gear I stacked or how well I played, resists always got me around 30%. Tri-clip will one shot if your shadows are down, especially if you have its DEF down on.



Gonna see how far I can go into CoP. I quit Nas a while back and went to retail, capped myself at 75 and did all the missions through WoTG solo (with trusts), which was pretty difficult even then. Lots of fun.

That's quite easy tbh, got my peiste leather and angelskin orb from this in like 5 runs. However I was talking about it yesterday and someone said that wasn't possible in retail, I argued players sucked in era and didn't dare try this sort of things, they'd just pop a chest and warp/die if the wrong one was selected (So did I for my minstrel's). Maybe Xoo could enlighten us on this with his retail account, I was even wondering if these things were still capped.

I found this on the Treasure and Tribulations strategy page:

"Nin/Rdm Solo (confirmed): Fight the large box for the slow attack speed. Elemental wheel for damage and Kurayami/Hojo/Jubaku are absolutely required. Recast debuffs as soon as they wear off. Eat Jack-o'-lanterns for the extra evasion and arcana killer. Intimidation actually helped out a lot. Cast Regen as needed, use Antidotes as soon after a Death Trap as you can. Watching shadows is very important - try to have at least two shadows up if your timers allow for it. Double Attack and Death Trap will screw you over if you're sitting at one shadow. I had +31 evasion and +17 int (use crimson blades) with no relevant merits. It took about 8 minutes and I didn't take any damage aside from poison. (Don't bother with any extra spells like aquaveil, blaze spikes, enspell. Your goal is to not get hit at all, and you should be casting a Ni nuke as often as humanly possible)"

Well done but def not server first. My bro dantes did it ninja and rdm melee style none of those sissy ninja nukes.

The title was meant to be a joke. Nobody cares who killed Minotaur solo lol. The older I get, the more I've come to realise that in the world of logistics, the terms "pussy" and "intelligent" are interchangeable. Congratulations Dantes on that thing Aeroo says you did!
