Blue Mage Hunting Grounds!

[Draylo]

Great guide, just a suggestion though, the best camp for O counterstance (imo) is just off the recall-Jugner crystal. Plenty of orcs there you can take w/o aggro and fight near it.

Draylo, you are 100% correct, I'll do an edit tomorrow to reflect the better camp for O. Counterstance. They use the move there quite a bit.

Has anyone seen Quadrastrike outside of Dynamis? Trying to get a confirm on a place or specific Kindred that likes to use it.

And thanks for the kind words folks. I'm no one special, though. I made the guide because when I was spell hunting I wanted something like it, and it became a hobby that got out of hand

Theres an NM called Marquis Sabnock that does nothing but spam Quadrastrike:

Otherwise, I've tried the demons in Xarca(S) and have yet to see them do it.

Also something most newer players may not be aware of, try not to rush down Khim or you break the wings which means it won't Tourbillion.

Finding a Khim that most people can get to is a bigger problem >_< But this is very good advice.

Alright after a few runs inside Nyzul isle there are few things that must be said.

1. Nyzul is hilariously easy atm. absolutely nothing should give you any trouble for any group of blue mages(besides the more accursed NMs and mobs. Soulflayers, chariots and archaic gears)
2. Cerberus, Hydra and Khimaria are extremely easy to accidently kill. So here are some rules to fighting each one of them

Cerberus: our lil hell hound has become a puppy. Cerberus will still only use Gates of hades around 50% hp. he WILL use but its not nearly as party wiping ass it used to be(only did 400 damage to me. worst part of gates is the burn effect so winds of promyvion it up). Fight him like any other mob you'd fight trying to learn a spell.

Hydra: Seems to be very reluctant to actually use Pyric Bulwark. He'll only use said move if his Right head(our left) is alive. Critical hits are what cut off the heads but they will grow back. other then that hes a wuss

Khimaria: Khim likes tourbillion ALOT however if you break either one of his wings he will NOT use tourbillion. Just like hydra, critical hits will break his wings but unlike hydra they will not grow back.

3. All 3 of them have regain. a fairly strong one to, so for khimi and hydra(Khimi espescially) Back tanking them is a good thing and they all have regen as well.

The rest of nyzul is still in place. you must get upto floor 100 from floor 96. last night I was in a group with 3 other JP Players and had lamps on all 3 attempts and still got to floor 100 with 15 to 20 mins to spare. so i expect a group of english players to do the same with ease. however just because your level 99 does not mean your a juggernaught. you should still bring a dusty Reraise scroll and probably a fanatics drink ATLEAST. Good luck happy hunting my fellow immortals.

the demons in Dynamis - Xarcabard all use it and fairly often. i learned it off the second demon i fought (can also learn thunder breath from the Bst demon's wyvern)
