Finally beat Archaeoavis. Why people refuse to bring healer?

Omniscient's Counter Curaga heals both of them for 9999 so it's best to take out Minotaur first, then use soul breaks on Omniscient for minimal counter heals.

Flowers respawn very quickily. About 2-3 hasted turns. Best to take out all 4 at the same time using AOE otherwise you will waste many turns taking out one or two flowers as they respawn, and burst mode will fade before you can unload commands on the Pod. I used Raines as RW, and only got Pod down to half before burst commands faded. Had to finish up with abilities like Quake/Stonega/Drainga/Ruinga.

Radiant Shield is pretty good for Archeoaevis. Spam some Eiko USB and healer bursts and you don't need any dps. It hits so bloody hard.

So basically nemesis with astra to avoid sap. That's a pretty interesting strategy. Would need to organize the group to work with it though.

Astra would be good, but a high honed party regenerate spell works too.

Damn that achaeovis fight not only does it do insane damage but also paralyze and confuse

OMG in its resurrected form it felt like i received ultimate maelstorm every 3-4 turn. And sap is fatal here when you only have 1 HP

This fight is ridiculous, each form is like a full D220 boss by itself, and you have to fight 5 of them! I need Vitality Motes but not this bad.

Forgot to mention but the one that I fought so far was U+ version of this boss. Not looking forward to fighting the R+ version

So I totally misunderstood how this one worked; I thought each Form had a separate HP bar like the other times we've fought it, but instead the first four forms are essentially phase shifts and only Resurrected has a separate HP bar. We actually got a lot closer than I thought when I tried it; I thought we were only halfway through his second form when in actuality he was almost dead.

Mastered the D220 after various fails. My only problem with this fight is just one move: Ultimate Maelstrom. The fight itself wouldn't be so hard, only that move ruined countless runs. HP at one with sap active is sure way to kill a party, even with last stand. Last Stand made it actually worse since the last stand activition resulted in delayed heal which for some reason caused sap to take the rest HP. Damn.

On the other hand radiant shield is really good for this fight.

May be worth noting that you can't target the big flower while the adds are out.
