FFXI QUEST:ASA13 - Project: Shantottofication  

Mission Orders

The inimitably fiendish Shantottofication curse, if allowed to wreak havoc on the land, would spell the end of the world as we know it. Only you can prevent an unimaginable fate from befalling Vana'diel!

Walkthrough

Alrighty so this fight is pretty simple. The 16 tablet you got from the Den and the Temple correspond to the 16 buffs you get. All stats get 150+ bonus, quadruple HP and MP, reraise, no weakness on raise.

If you are going to help others redo this mission, BE SURE to go to Lower Jeuno first and turn in your keys that you got from the fight there first. If you don't, you cannot redo the fight.

There are multiple ways to win this BC, two of which are listed below:

METHOD 1

Party Setup

Basically the only thing you actually need is 2 WHMs. Everything else can be any DD of your choosing. My party was COR/NIN MNK/NIN SAM/WAR SMN/WHM WHM/SCH WHM/BLM. The only person that should be subbing NIN is the person who is going to hold one of the Shantottos. Everyone else should sub /WAR or /SAM and WHMs should be /SCH but /BLM works just as well.

The reason for 2 WHMs is the amount of healing that will need to happen and for Benediction and Esuna.

Items

Remedies

Echos

Icarus Wings

Reraise

During the fight your mages and DD need to make liberal use of the meds but saving 2 hours and Icarus wings until after the wipe. Also don't burn all your Remedies and Echos before the wipe.

Strategy

There are two ways to do this fight. Target the BLACK one first and hold the WHITE one or target the WHITE one first and hold the BLACK one. Most people tend to target the BLACK one as she is the strongest of the 2 and her moves have all the status effects and such. Plus killing the BLACK one first makes the WHITE one not go into Meteor spam, like she will if you kill her first.

My group did the BLACK one first while I (COR/NIN) held the white one. Any job can hold the white one. All she does it cast AM 2 tier 4 spells and flash and melee syou if your close. Shes pretty easy to hold.

While I held the WHITE one my group was at the door where we came in and targeted the BLACK one. The key is to get the BLACK one down to 50% which will then let the WHITE one join her and the BLACK one will rage. This rage is her 2 hour ability. You want to wipe here as soon as she rages. We almost killed her before the wipe. They will regen but don't worry about it let them reset.

Once they both reset have everyone get up, and have one of your WHMs Benediction. This will save time resting as there is no weakness upon getting up. Reapply buffs and Reraise and rest your MP to above 2k.

The reason why you wipe is so that the BLACK one wont rage again at 50% and you can hold the white one until about 25-10% before she joins the Black one.

Once your ready to fight Go hold the white one and kill the Black one. at 50% or lower have your DDs 2 hour and use their Icarus wings. WHMs need to spam Curaga 4 and Esuna through out this until its dead.

Once its dead target the WHITE one. The White one takes damage far easier and is pretty weak sauce. Only thing you need to watch for are the aga spells. We got lucky on my fight and I reset everyone s 2 hours so we set the record at 17 minutes, 11 seconds.

METHOD 2

SMN x 4, RDM/WHM, SCH/BRD.

Each of the SMNs summon a different avatar, in order to ensure that no matter what elemental -ga spell is cast, not all of them will be wiped out at once. We used Garuda, Ifrit, Ramuh, and Shiva.

Keep calling out so know when to release etc, while keeping track of how many avatars are still up and on the Shantottos.

SCH and RDM are healers, and the spells get heavier at the end and massive heals will be needed.

Target Dark Shantotto first, then once she is dead, take on the White Shantotto.
