Daymos' cannot make it this Friday. Can we try the fight at Thursday night 9:30pm EST ?
If everyone has their cutscenes and muling done beforehand we can try finishing this without costing people too much sleep. :shock:

For those that havent beaten Diabolos also remember there is a 1st part to PM 3-5 that requires you to farm a chip in Pso'Xja, you then trade that to an NPC in Lower Jueno for Pso'Xja Pass (key item). You only need to do this once, so if you already did this but lost to Diabolos you don't have to worry about it.

Mission Name: Darkness Named

Reward: 1000 EXP, Reward: 1000 EXP

Diabolos

* Gear up for a level 40 BCNM, and enter the tower at (H-8) in Beaucedine Glacier.
* You will need sneak and invis through some of the areas and not through others.
* In this Pso'Xja tower, there are shimmering walls of different color. Every time you enter one you zone and all your buffs wear off.
* The order of the walls to enter is red, black, red, black. As long as the party keeps moving and does not stand still in each room, Sneak and Invisible should not be neccessary, as any aggro will be lost when going through the next wall.
* After the last black zone, sneak up and ride the elevator down. There is a gate to the left, which your pass will open, and you will enter The Shrouded Maw where you will fight Diabolos. Sometimes at the last corner are sight-aggro Bombs.
* You start on a platform above the battlefield. Once someone jumps, everyone else is dragged down, and the battle begins.
* The battlefield consists of 25 floor squares which may be removed by Diabolos during the fight. If you fall or are on a square that is removed, you will be eaten alive by about eight waiting and hungry Diremite Assaulters.
* You can see which tiles will disappear before you drop into the arena. In the "Battlefield layout" screenshot, the tiles which will disappear have a thicker outline. In the image, they are the ones immediately to his left and right, the second and third tiles in front of him, and the two in the lower left corner of the image.
* If some of the corners aren't going to drop, the tank should pull Diabolos into one of the corners. With Diabolos in one corner, the three tiles in the opposite corner are outside the AoE of Nightmare, so a mage can stand there and wake people up if necessary.
* The tiles will light up momentarily before they disappear.
* The party will land in the center of the arena and Diabolos will be in front of you.

D - Diabolos
X - Tiles that may drop
O - Tiles that will not drop

X X D X X
O X X O O - Melee on "OO" to the right or on "D" where Diabolos stands
X X X X X
X O X X X
X X O O X - Mages on "OO"

Choose tiles to stand on that won't drop, preferably with the mages outside Nightmare range. If you just want to go with tiles that will never drop in any layout, here's where to stand during battle:

* Pull Diabolos to the 2nd row down onto the tiles marked as "OO". Mages should be stand on the "OO" tiles on the bottom row. The Fallen Floor image can give good visual.

Diabolos' TP attacks:

*Nightmare: Inflicts anyone on the floor with Sleep and 21HP/tick Bio. Damage will not wake you up from Nightmare, only Cure and Benediction. (Benediction will also remove the Bio effect, which otherwise must be erased.) Nightmare can and should be interrupted with Stun, Head Butt or stun weaponskills such as Smash Axe. NOTE: Weapon Bash will NOT stun Nightmare! The Bard song Fowl Aubade, combined with Barsleepra, is pretty effective for helping people to wake up fast from Nightmare. NOTE: DRK/BLU is an advantage being a DD and stunner (Stun recast time is 45 seconds and Head Butt recast time is 10 seconds).

* Camisado: Single-target physical damage and knockback. Stand with your back to the wall so that this doesn't knock you into the pit below.

* Noctoshield: Gives Diabolos the effect of Phalanx (Dispel or Magic Finale).

* Ultimate Terror: AOE Absorb-All. Drains multiple attributes. Not too bad on its own, but it interferes with Dispelling Noctoshield and Erasing Nightmare Bio. Absorbed by Utsusemi.

Diabolos also casts various Dark elemental spells: Sleepga, Sleep II, Bio II, Drain, Aspir and Blind.

yeah that time is ok for me as well, I was wondering if we needed stuns, I could get two more levels on my drk and go as drk/blu instead of blue mage. What do you guys think?

I would think blu main spamming headbutt would be good. We can WS stun also.

So, mid-day today I found out my hours have been extended... 10am to 10pm EST until the end of the week due to hurricane Ike issues that we are being flooded with.

I can no longer make this Thursday, I'm sorry... I should be back to "normal" by next week.

The "good" news is, I'm past this mission, so the static would just need a rep to plug in for the week...

Drevian said he would help us by tanking this fight. If you see him remind him prz :D

Still no word from Hiraedd, but I know she doesn't need this fight.
