1st Proto-Ultima Fight

Posted in Final Fantasy XI at 1:28 am by Pisces6

We won our first Proto-Ultima fight today, er… Yesterday. XD I brought a hi-ether tank with me and a whole bunch of Yagudo drinks. I think I had about 6-7 Yagudo drinks, 3 Hi-ethers, and 1 Vile elixir. Anyway, the time limit on this fight is 60 minutes. O_O That surprised me since Proto-Omega only has a 30-minute time limit, but you need those 60 minutes. We won with about 10 minutes to spare, but this is a long fight. A few things that FFXIclopedia didn’t really mention:

- He has a Draw-In move. He draws in people who have hate.
- He has far more special attacks than listed on the wiki. There is an AoE (Area of Effect) petrify attack that is not listed that hit us 2-3 times. I can’t remember the exact name.
- His Dissipation (which is AoE) strips practically all buffs outside of food and Signet. :| Kiss your reraise good-bye.

I’m really happy that we won on our very first try. XD Everyone did great even if things did mess up near the middle. (A Dissipation got through. :/ After that one, about 2 more Dissipations got through; not sure if they were avoidable since Proto-Ultima has that Mana Screen move that blocks magic damage.)

Drops? We hit the lottery on this guy! Unlike Proto-Omega who has been somewhat reluctant to drop anything good for us, we got good drops. Here’s a list of who got what:

XD 1 Heart, 2 Legs. 1 body piece and 2 pants. Incredibly lucky. I got Ultima’s Leg! XD Ahaha, so those Sea points I earn ARE useful, hehe.

So now instead of 225 enfeebling skill on white mage, I now have a total of 258 enfeebling skill! (Thanks to +enfeebling gear.) XD Waaaaaaaa!

I really should level red mage. ;) Can’t wait to fight this guy again even if I don’t get any drops for another year. :P Definitely a fun fight. (Even though I died like… 2-3 times.)
