    Agreed that FoW is a godsend on this fight if only for the movement speed.

    Maybe this is common knowledge, but I gotta ask...... Is there any way to tell which is the front and back sides on the nails? I couldn't get the 3rd part off for the Pummel combo or get a back combo going either.

    Thanks for the guide, I've been curious about this but seeing as I only really get to do Ifrit via pick-ups I doubt I'm ever going to get to use mnk in that fight /sulk

    If you have your chat log set to show your attack damage, it will tell you what side of the nail you are hitting when you use a WS (might also tell you on regular hits... not sure). If it doesn't work on regular hits use a quick-cooldown WS to test what side you are on (Fists of Wind helps out even more in this regard), it should only take 2 WS's to figure out its orientation.

    It may feel like you wont have enough time if you do this but once you can combo it you can murder a nail really quickly all by yourself.

    Darn...I was hoping there would be some visual indicator on the nail that would mean the front/back, but I guess it's random?
