According to the info on BG:

A BLU has got to the final stage of the Mythic Weapon Quests and basically had to fight:

Zahak, which is a Hydra Type monster. At 95% it turns into a (Fomor?) Balrahn.

There's not much info yet but it can be summed up as:


  • The BLU failed to damage Balrahn at 1%
  • 30 minute fight
  • Balrahn regens if you wipe
  • You do get your subjob for this fight
  • The fight seems to be job specific (for now)/Balrahn has the Mythic Weapon Equipped (unsure due to how vague the notes were)
  • You lose the Tier 4 ZNM items if you lose
  • It is unknown/not noticed whether Balrahn uses the job specific 2 hour when fighting, but the candidate who took part of the fight had the comment "BLU 2 hour = too weak" so it was hardly noticable. But say if you were a ... NIN
  • Incase those who are unaware, the Mythic Weapons work similar to Dynamis Relic weapons. You get the "base" weapon, the Nyzul Version, then after you done most of the quests, you get given the 2nd stage weapon, which is basically the Mythic Weapon with no stats, and (assumingly) upon winning this fight, it truely unlocks, hence that screenshot you see there
Speculation is now starting as to how that final 1% can be taken off. The BLU died and RRed but ultimately timed out.

Wow... that sucks, especially when you consider they are not even a 100% drop from Tier4...

As far as the final 1% goes, i'm gonna go ahead and guess A) it's 2 hour related (as the BC's are job specific?) B) Disengage and he gives up, lol.
 
I haven't read bg thread yet but only thing I can think of off top of my head is maybe it requires either
A the Vigil weapon
B the locked Mythic weapon
C One of those + the special WS as kill shot
 
According to the thread the blu tried to self sc darkness while it was at 1% (which takes the mythic ws to do) but all the hits did 0 damage. This is pretty stupid, adding in a BB-type rule to a bc that requires something as inane as t4 znm items to enter after all the previous crap you have to do, gg s-e.
 
I'm betting that SE made the BC unbeatable until they are done testing the mythic weapons.
 
Probably need to main hand the Mythic Weapon the whole fight lolz.
I doubt you need to use your 2hr to finish him, as Ninjas are SOL in that case.
My uneducated guess? Gotta cycle through all the weaponskills you have, ending with the JSWS :awesome:

They mainhanded the upgraded weapon and subbed perdu the fight. Unless you meant "Wightslayer" to be used.
 
its not worth all that work in the end ...
 
You have to have someone by the Ebon panels, after activating one he can be killed duh >.>

Except if it defeats him, it wouldn't matter if the Ninja dies in the process. It would still trigger the event for victory.

Seems even more silly for the 2-hours that don't directly effect the enemy in any way. Benediction doing damage?
 
Just a small thought.... Since it takes things from all over whitegates region, could it be we need something from there armor/weapon/throwing to get the last 1% off? Or maybe something like the anima for CoP.
 
Just thought I would point out that after looking at the .dats of the fight it may be obvious that you need to get all 3 aftermath effects from what he says and the blu probably didn't do it since he was just worried about killing the thing.
 
According to FFXIclopedia the mythic weaponskill has to be used with 300% to TP to knock the last 1% of his health off. It has the verification needed icon next to it though. It would make sense if that was the case.

Sadly, any idiot can edit that site. I seriously doubt he's basing that on anything more than a hunch and it'll be deleted shortly. I think it's really stupid to force you to use a 300% WS (or Ws at all) when it's impossible to gain TP. But hey, SE does love doing stupid shit.
 
As unreasonable as it might be, it's at least plausible that you might need to TP at 300%.
 
Double post. Please be to be delete.
