    HELP! Literally stuck in the middle of Wings of the Goddess

    Hello anyone who might have any ideas...

    I have just had my SIXTH attempt at the "Blood of Heroes" battle in Wings of the Goddess, and my patience has just about expired.

    My issue isn't fighting the monsters (I'm Lv.99 and can one-shot any of them) - it's the the dumb NPC character (Excenmille) gets himself killed within a few seconds, and there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it. Here's where my head has been:

    IDEA 1: Sub White Mage and heal the NPC. Only problem is, as soon as I disengage from the enemies to fight, all of my trusts disengage as well. So I can either fight or heal, and I can tell you now, the monsters were doing more damage than I was healing...

    IDEA 2: Sub Warrior and Provoke. Great idea in theory. But Provoke only works on one enemy at a time, and has a 30 second cooldown. At the current state, the battles aren't lasting much longer than 30 seconds, so it's really not much use.

    IDEA 3: Bring in another White Mage. This is still my number one goal. Bring in a second player, tell them to do nothing but heal the NPC while I take out the monsters one-at-a-time. Only problem is, not only does the other person need to be up to this particular mission, they need to have selected the San d'Oria path in WotG as well. Which is a very, very narrow field of selection. I tried two different linkshells and I tried shouting across the world, but couldn't find anyone to help me.

    IDEA 4: Sub Black Mage and do some -aga spells to pull the hate. I tried this. It failed spectacularly. Whenever I tried to cast spells the monsters would interrupt my casting.

    IDEA 5: Sub Thief and just run straight past the NPC and grab all the hate before he does. Only problem there is, he just grabs it all straight back.

    I'm SO beyond frustrated here. Does ANYONE have any idea how I might make this work? If only I could just tell my dumb healing Trust to heal the NPC!!

    I'd suggest going BLU/rdm and spamming Subduction. It's like a 0.1 sec cast time w/ capped FC, dirt cheap MP-wise, and in my experience, it's always seemed like blue magic has a lower chance of being interrupted.

    You should also be able to cast Protect/Shell on the NPC which should help a bit.

    Heh heh. Yeah, both of those jobs are under Level 10 for me, so not realistic. Thanks for the suggestion though.

    Your best bet would be to get a helper to AOE then. It's just about impossible to solo WotG escort missions as melee.

    Success!! ^_^

    Okay, I went with the WHM tactic, but instead of healing Excenmille, I just cast Diaga on the whole lot of them, and picked them off one-by-one. Didn't even have to heal, because they were either focused on me or my Paladin Trust.

    Whew! Sixth time lucky! ^_^
