The Price is Right

Objective: Kill Goldemar and his weapons.

Recruitment: Lv.70, 3-6 mercenaries

Time Limit: 30:00

Come Prepared With: Reraise, Holy Water, Potions/Ethers

Assault Points: 1500

Notes (Kanah):

Success with the following party: PLD/NIN, NIN/WAR, SAM/DNC, WHM/SMN, BRD/WHM, SMN/WHM

PLD was main tank for Goldemar and held him in the first room where you spawn, SMN kept up Stoneskin and Noctoshield (Magic Def. Bonus) which really helped out vs. Goldy's tier 3 and 4 spells.

During the fight, Goldemar will summon 5 weapons to fight with him (one at a time). If you don't kill the summoned weapon fast enough, he'll summon another and you'll be faced with 2 weapons at the same time.

NIN and SAM duo'd the weapons in the tunnel as they were summoned. We didn't have much trouble dispatching the Rod, Staves or Axe, however the Bloody Daggers gave us a bit of a hassle (they attack very quickly and seem to have rather high evasion). The Magic Shields can also take a while to eliminate as well due to high defense. During times of getting double-teamed by weapons, our SMN would help out with a Blood Pact to quickly kill one.

Towards the end of the fight (20% HP or so), Goldemar starts spamming an AOE Intimidation move (high success rate) which makes things a bit more difficult. Once he started spamming, we switched to ranged attacks to stay outside the AOE and chipped away at his health. Once he was down to 5-10%, we 2-houred as needed and finished him off.

Make sure to bring plenty of hi-pots/ethers (Devotion/Martyr helps, too) as this fight will probably go 25 + minutes.
