does anyone feel that the mysterious map is all a con and misleading players?!

Yes, it seems a little unfair that releasing your corpse, even if it's to the same area the map was in, makes you lose the map forever.

However, as for that Morbol...

The threat is naturally that Bind keeps you from dodging the Bad Breath. You have options.

1. Use a potion to increase Bind Resistance. I'm not sure whether this shortens the duration of a Bind or simply makes you less likely to be bound, but it ought to help.

Most classes have a way to deal with the issue, too.

White Mage/Scholar: You can still take actions while bound, so you can Esuna/Leech it off of yourself.

Monk/Dragoon/Warrior/Paladin: You should be in melee range when you get bound. Stun the Morbol to prevent Bad Breath from going out. If it's flat out immune to Stun... uh oh. Paladins can use Tempered Will to remove Bind.

Summoner: Have Titan tank the Morbol.

Bard: Keep your distance. Be careful not to leash it.

All: Chocobo tank. You might need to give it a bit to establish some semblance of aggro, but it could help.

Unless the Morbol cannot be stunned, I don't see any artificial difficulty here. I see a challenge that requires you to use the tools at your disposal to overcome.

Now... those instakill bombs? That might be a different story...

Now... those instakill bombs? That might be a different story...

Kill them before they blow up, you have like 15 or 20 seconds after they spawn, and they do about 1500 damage each, so if your damage is so low that you can't kill them all, you should be able to at least get a couple down and still survive the blast.
