Let's talk about Hunts - a detailed rundown of their assumed mechanics

[Kanjishin]

I can confirm this. Perhaps it can be attributed to lag times or flying (as opposed to being on contact with the ground). Both times that I have spawned Kaiser Behemoth, the S rank appeared just as I left the area; unlike Nandi which appears as soon as I step on a spawn point.

I didn't experience a delay, felt just like Nandi to me.

Might have just been lag on our end then. There was another person a few pages back who said that Kaiser wouldn't pop when they tried to trigger while flying, but when he walked around it popped up.

I had posted earlier about Brynhildr's spawn of Senmurv. In my video it spawns exactly after Cerf's Up completion in clear weather.

I know this does not clearly prove that this is the trigger, but now there are two videos showing a spawn after the fate's completion. It is worth strong consideration.

There's actually more than 2 videos, since a lot of japanese players and other people who did not record it confirmed Senmurv spawned right after Cerf's Up FATE is completed. I didn't want to believe it at first but after reading/seeing more about it, I find it hard to say it's not linked at all. But just as you said, we do not know if this is the full trigger.

Bird of Paradise just died on Tonberry (5 mins ago).

Still trying to read through the thread to find all the theories, but what I did was find an Anzu (36x y36) and spent 5-10 mins taking it's health under 10%, running away until it reset, then repeat.

Could have been coincidence too I suppose

Question: Is there a page/thread that has all current theories/confirmed ways in one place?

I think the only 100% rock solid S pop theory is Kaiser Behemoth popping when you get close enough to the right spawn point with the Behemoth Heir summoned (mounted/flying works too)

Gandrewa seems to be a ridiculously low chance of popping from gathering aurum regis ore or 7th heaven

Cerf's up + chocobo out seems to be some kind of potential variable in senmurv 9_6
Leucrotta.... inhailing pixie dust seems as probable as killing meralycdian dragons (sic)

Mateus's 200+ hour pale rider treasure chest no show, but popping to a leve chest probably has some validity too XD

The biggest problem is the long spawn timers and aside from KB the odds of the mob popping in front of you when you spawn the S is almost impossible to correlate when you're only seeing it like 2 times a week.
