SE really?! really 99 cap boss this hard?!?!

Farm the stuff guys. Get a bunch of people together who are serious about farming for 6 hours of items that have a super rare drop rate and require you to visit at least 2 different places in order to get the fossilized bone and the fossilized fang, travel all the way to Bastok, then go to the BCNM and spam your tails at the guy and he's an easy win. If the people you got with you can't stick around for the BCNM then pick up someone who has a tail already, if they just go "inv me plz I need!" and they don't have the tail, they don't get invited because they're just being lazy bums who want to leech off everyone elses' hard work.

If you're in GMT increase 6 hours to 10 hours. :P

It's not a matter of easy vs hard mode. Once the rush is over, and pretty much the majority got their lvl 99, most of the new or returning players will have difficulties trying to get party for this last BCNM. They should create a soloable version (where you need to gather more items) and the current normal version. As it is now, certain jobs are needed, most players will go with the tried and true methods they heard or read on websites and will ask that jobs and nothing else. This is CoP madness all over again - until the next patch nerf this, or at least give players options for normal mode or solo mode (which require more farmings).

4 mnk + 1 smn with Alex. Not hard to find that combination.

ok managed to beat this guy on third attempt this morning. i totally agree with the people saying its too hard for what it is, and for all those people saying its to easy etc your sad little people who need to come to an internet forum to make them selfs sound big and tough.

It's only hard if you fight it wrong.

And there lies the problem: job xyz or get lost, a party or get lost, farm items for tail or get lost. I thought from the feedback they were going to give people option to fight it as it is, and another method that is easier (and I presumed soloable) - but I guess I was wrong. Now it's jobs xyz or good luck trying with different combos. Not to mention all the mercenary shouts and people trying to profit gills from this lol. It's like it brings out the worst out of players and opportunist out of everyone

It's not supposed to be easy. It's a limit break designed to push us and test not only our characters' physical and magical abilities, but our ingenuity and smarts. Why would it be okay if you could just do it really quickly without trying? That's what Abyssea is for. You want 99? Work for it: strategize and plan your attack. You are not a failure if you don't succeed a few times; it makes you better. Be positive, people. This community like any other has the 10% rule: 10% of the people are the most voiced and tend to be negative.

x2 BST, PLD (without o-chain; unsure about aegis). SMN, RDM, WHM. It was a relatively easy fight, but maybe we got lucky on which WS he chose, he got our PLD down to 200 HP once but he was healed back up fine. Us BST melee'd with him and the other pets and snarled emnity to them. I know when he used Hundred Fists and Asuran, GooeyGerard ate a lot of those instead of the PLD, the other BST lost their pet but mine never died. Was easy for us; none of the items were used. Maybe it's just another "chance" fight.

But it is easy if you have a good strategy, decent setup, and farm the tails! I am 0/1 with him so far, that's because only 2 of us had tails. Had the rest of the group got off their lazy backsides in Jeuno and farmed the tails themselves then we would've gotten him 1/0. It was a very very close win. Tomorrow I'm gonna farm the items again and this time I'm not taking lazy bones with me who haven't got the tails.

Personally I think SE should tweak the fight a little in the near future because after the rush for 99 there's gonna be mules and new players who will be struggling to find people to help them and not all of them will have had the privilege of spending months in Aby/WoE to get any decent gear to see them through not just the BCNM but the item farming from IT+ mobs. Being slaughtered in one hit from a TP move is also way too extreme, who do they think we're fighting Chuck Norris? I'd expect to be brought down to red HP and needing a major cure or have a chance at swigging several hi-potions before I drop dead, but a one-hit kill? That's just an overkill.

One or two half decent (or just plain not bloody terrible) monks with perfect defense can carry an entire group with whoever/whatever you want in the other 3 slots.

This shit is not hard. At all.
