100,000 needles... Ok, how many times you wipe before figuring out.

What happens is you need to do enough damage to it to interrupt. On one of the last ones, however, another cactuar pops up and uses Cover on it, so you need to kill that add as fast as possible, then change to the boss.

Since you said you burned everything down, you probably burnt the add and then the boss and didn't realise what the exact mechanic was. xD

Yeah, that's what most likely happened. Flawed mechanic!

I believe you did that unconscious. To stop the one shot mechanic, you need to kill the big cactuar spawm later in the fight and then hit the boss. There will be 1 and then 2 so if you have aoe power and can aoe everything, that fight is like drinking water.

back on topic: take 2 wipe to figure that out (DF pug party)

I did it with 2 brds as dps. That fight easy if you have a blm willing to Aoe everything.

X2 Mnk probably gonna be aheadache

On my first go we had Monk and Dragoon and it was dead easy. You only need to kill 1 add quickly and the rest are weak anyway.
