    Mobs which spawn from Alexandrit Chests

    The mobs which spawn from the chests are surprisingly strong in relation what you're usually used to and I was glad I'm a healer when I encountered the first two mobs.
    What mobs did you get so far?

    - Coincounter light, a mob similar to Aurum Vales Coincounter with same attacks, and loads of adds spawning all the time

    - A special Morbol, his special attack is to bind you before using his bad breath (as a healer I can dispell the initial bind to get out in time, but if you can't dispell it, I assume you will eat the breath)

    So far I've not had mobs that are *too* hard, had a group of 4 quite strong Ziz's that petrify with their cone AoE, I got caught in one and couldn't move for 20 seconds, needless to say I almost sh*t myself because I thought I was going to die! Luckily I had quite a lot of HP on my DRG.

    Some of these mobs definitely require a party of some sort depending on what class you are doing it as. SMN seems to be the best at the moment if you have a healing chocobo to complete the trinity. Not the most fair system, but it is what it is until SE addresses it.

    I have soloed 4 as sch so far, I got the coincounter with a ton of tiny adds, 4 gargoyle mobs, 2 ogres, and something else. all easilly soloed by sch and choco if you avoid the aoe/conal stuff. Just takes a while.

    my encounters on alex maps

    A Golem that had two waves of 4 bombs. The bombs just sit there... until "X" time passes and then they will zerg you and blow up on you. Kill them and all will be well.

    A single bomb that will periodically puff up all big and hit hard then go back to normal size. If you kite the bomb when he's puffed up he will go back to normal size in a short time.

    4 "Vassago" kind of demons

    An single Ahriman type monster

    The Cyclops "Coincounter" type mob that spawns little bugs throughout the fight

    a Succubi type mob with two winged demon type mobs

    3 cockatrice style mobs that can stick you with petrify and paralyze

    I've managed to BRD solo + healer choco (for safety) all these scenarios... just kite kite kite.

    The golem + bombs did kill me the first time because I killed the first wave of bombs before I knew what they would do if I ignored them... it was a good ego check though since it was like my 6th map fight solo and I was feeling invincible

    Oh cool, based on this there are a lot of mob types I haven't seen. Saw the below multiple times each, so thought that was all or close to all.

    1x Morbol: bind + bad breath.
    4x Biast: lightning breath cone.
    4x gargoyles
    1x Ahriman: petrify cone

    Everything soloable as i101 Warrior so far. Will be interesting to see the others.

    PS. For Morbol, stun to interrupt the bad breath.

    you can also aggro a mob and let it hit you so it can break the bind against the morbol
