Morbol Menace a bit unfair for Bards

Can you silence the bad breath?

Im, pretty sure you can, i do map with a BRD friend and everytime we got this one and he got bound, bad breath never been fulyl casted and i have nothing to do with it ( i do maps as WHM and i dont Holy this particular map ). So my guess is, that he silences them. I'll have to ask.

It's not even hard.
Just don't run in circles like a dumbass, stay still.
When it binds you, wait until you see bad breath casting. Just silence it. You should only see it Once. If you are really low Ilv you might see it twice. If that happens, just silence it again.

It's not even hard. I don't see why you think it's unfair.

All maps are easy and soloable. They just have a trick to them.

The post you are quoting is from 06-11-2014 and what you just said was stated long ago, ignoring both the date and the responses and rushing to post is usually not a good idea :P

Normally you can't, but from this one particular morbol, you can. If you watch the log, you'll notice Bad Breath is being readied as a spell instead of a special attack, like it is from all other morbols.

Annnnd, confirmed, just stand in front of it and take the hits, then stun it when bound and faced forward.

Thank you again for the insight!!!

Only map that gives me trouble is the cyclops with tons of adds, normally do my maps as smn. Only method i've found that works reliably for it is drop a shadowflare on them and heal through the dmg while titan keeps cyclops busy.

Died once to bombs, but after first time, i just order titan to tag each one and he eats their explosions quite easily. Other than that most are too easy to even bother mentioning.

Just a tip. Pop raging strikes before shadow flare, hit them with miasama II and blizzard II them to death.

Sleep actually works against the Morbol Menace, so feel free to cast Sleep/Repose or use a Potent Sleep Potion.

Toss your dots up, Bane, swiftcast shadow flare, Miasma II.

My SCH can kill them before they move, assuming they all get hit by Bane.

A tip for bombs, if you have a healer chocobo, when the bombs spawn change your bird to healer stance, eat an AoE from the boss and the bird will use regen on you, all bombs will now target your bird and you can sacrifice him in case you can't kill all bombs.

For the cyclops as SMN you can time titan's enkindle with the first set of adds and shadowflare / miasma II / blizzard 2 the second set.

You can't bane all mobs, bane has a hit limit.

There are 4 bombs, unless you're pushing dps like mad. Dot one, Bane the other 3. Kill other enemies in the area if you need to, and keep the golem away from the bombs. Profit. >_>

Doesn't repelling shot work? You'll still be bind but I think it'll get you out of AoE range. Not 100% sure xD

Oh, I thought you were talking about using bane on the adds spawned by the cyclops.

(you only quoted the cyclops part, not the bombs part)

Yeah, I guess my post could have been more clear, sorry.

Well, crap.

I'm not reading all 10 pages, but if it hasn't been said, bard can silence bad breath on this monster.

You're welcome if it hasn't been said.

Bad Breath can be silenced with Blunt Arrow. Stop being bad.

I apologise if someone has already told OP that you can do this.

Does any1 ever used a god damn Chocobo for help -.-

I mean, Gysahl Green is damn cheap. You can't be so damn dirt poor to afford multiple x99 stacks to summon your chocobo on the field -,-

Blunt arrow silence works on bad breath

Did you even try..


p.s. only read first page

Silence only works if you're bound WHILE facing him

Plus bind doesn't stop you from rotating to face him, or auto-facing him if you didn't change that default setting.

Uh... yes. It does. That is in fact the whole point of Bind.

A WAR's self-inflicted Holmgang is the only case where you can rotate while bound.

Pul a mob to you and have it attack you the whole time. You'll never stay bound.

I hear Bards have Blunt Arrow.

Yeah I don't actually think the alexandrite maps are balanced and it feels like a stroke of luck that all classes are able to solo them for the most part. You know, I also warned my bard friend about this one alexandrite because it seemed like it was the only one bard couldn't do. To my surprise, my bard friend has zero problems with it! He said he burned it down fast enough before it killed him while his chocobo healed him. I believe it might be possible to melt mobol menace as a bard before his bad breath does too much damage to you.


It was actually the cyclops with the dozen other little dragons that gave him the most trouble for him as a bard. That one I have no idea how I would handle as a bard.

Yeah, the Cyclops with the peapuks is the only Alex map I have trouble with as a summoner with Titan-Egi out and a DPS chocobo. I have to keep Titan on the peapuks because they are worse than the Cyclops.

The cyclop isn't doing any damage, only AoE that you can easily avoid.

are people that inept with these map hunts? Face him, silence it, win.

He's right.

errr.... why this 3 month old thread still being brought up? I think we all can see from the siggy that OP should already got past this. Or some of you never seen HA stuff OP's wearing? lol

In case you guys missed it, here's a post from page 6:

As a Summoner, I've never been hit by this. Kite, lolbard.

Cyclops is easy. Focus Target him and run in for Eye of the Beholder as it's the only move that doesn't have an AOE indicator. There are only two waves of peapuks and they spawn based on his HP so... just stop attacking him when adds pop.

You do realize you can't kite that ability the only reason you can kite is because you have loltitanegi otherwise it would bind you in place as well and you'd get hit by it there is no kiting it. So yes moral of the story is Blunt arrow it and you win or just get summoner leveled up so you can lol easy mode all the maps with the titan egi.

Cyclops is sometimes hard on my DGN because my healer Choco has the stupid habit of standing in the Cyclops aoe while I'm dealing with the puks, so he ends up dead in 2 or 3 aoes leaving me alone...and the small dmg from puks adds faster than it seems.
But, it's an extremely easy map if I go with my WMH, Holy is a far better aoe and I don't care if my Choco dies.

On the other hand, the 4 gargoyles or the 4 draconuttes are a pain on WMH since you have to keep moving all the time from aoes and stop casts. It's faster on my DGN.

Some mobs are harder on one job, other are harder to other jobs.

They usually don't move when they use that ability... are you sure? Anyway, you can't easy mode the Chimera map x.x

Isn't the chimera a peisteskin map thing, not alexandrite map?
