Probably so! To be honest, I never knew there was a higher tier juice than Yagudo, so I never got any. Thanks! It's usually not MP that gets me, but 1 critical mistake at the wrong time. (When one wakes up in the middle of casting Blink, using a med, etc.) If your Sleep/Bind is interrupted, you're usually dead.

I managed to buy back the 3min from the CS in my last run by going BLM + NIN, but I died because I wasn't watching my MP close enough and didn't have enough for Bind. Oh well, soon!

galka blm + taru rdm can duo ouryu, have done it many many many times, he can be silenced and aspird, just sleep > silence > dispel his stoneskin then freeze > sleep > aspir > rest > aspir > freeze > wash > ronse > repeat
galka blm with +45-ish int np win in like 20-25min

BLM+COR is also fairly foolproof, I've 2box'd it that way a number of times.

There is no defeat worse than the 5% fail. Fuck you Transmogrification. Fuck you Mind Wall. After bringing us both back from very low HP, the determination just wasn't enough. I guess I should have Stonega II'd and Gakure'd. I don't know. I was so certain this was the one.

I won. But the victory was bittersweet, because #OnlyNasThings, and around the 08:05 mark Transmogrification and Retsu just happened to coincide, resulting in insta-death. I really fought with myself on finishing, obviously because of the resulting time advantage. But, 8 remaining minutes would have been an enormous window to take one down from 35%. I felt like I earned it anyhow, so many times I lost to the clock, and that stupid CS.

So yeah, if you're going to attempt this, you need BLM/WHM and NIN/WAR. You'll need INT & MND sets for BLM, as well as Evasion and Nuke sets for NIN. Don't worry too much about Accuracy, they're only Tough mobs with a ton of HP. Evasion and debuffs are the only thing that's going to see you through Sword form. Those are Horomusha's, but you shouldn't be tanking in Ochiudo's anyway.

Bigtime grats on this, and yeah, I'd say you earned the victory regardless of the insta-death timing

Thanks. Knowing how many attempts and utter failures I went through, I wouldn't say this is so much a demonstration of skill than
it is an exhibition of mind-numbing stubbornness. Oh well, on to Diabolos!
