If I remember correctly 5.1 has a 50 cap or 55 cap. That's why higher level players can't do it as most don't have the equipment for it...Now 5.2 is a different story.

It's a 50 cap. That's why I don't go on these runs. I'd show up half naked. It's a fun fight and people shouldn't be afraid of it, cause it wasn't all that hard. It's just level cap things are a pain. And I don't feel like investing in equipment that I'm only going to use for one fight.

It really isn't too hard, especially if you have a Monk or two in your group. The hardest part is getting to the arena. The best advice I can give you is do the Optistry quests in Windurst for the Northlands map. (I think that's where you get it from)

A good Paladin tank (with Circle Blade) is a big help too.

mnks arent afraid of this mission. this mission is cake. Heres what you get, you (rdm) whm, pld and as many mnks you want. the mnk will do all the work with : focus> berserk> hundred fists

get 2 mnks if you want to be easy. Get 3 mnks if you want to set the record lol.

Mnks really will be the tanks in this mission, they will be doing so much damage that the tank pld nin or whatever will not be able to hold the hate...the only role that the tank has is to run in first voke the lich get all his posse on him so they are not on the mnks.

whm job keep mnks alive, not the pld or tank. rdm job refresh whm, keep pld or tank alive...very simple,

i have done this with 4 people before and didnt even worry about it. Just ask around for some mnks, look for 50 mnks they will be better cause they already have the appropriate armor and such. Like i said this is by far the easiest mission where you fight things, and because the boss is a skeleton, naturally mnks and whms and plds will own it. This mission is not the mission people are afraid of, i was afraid of the Shadow Lord, not his ArchBitch lich

*btw im on ragnarok too if you still need help with this, look me up i will fire off a hundred fist for ya.

Map of the Northlands is from a quest in San d'Oria, Her Majesty's Garden.

Map of Fei'Yin is from A Smudge on One's Record, in Windurst.

Map of Ranguemont Pass, which you may need if you don't yet have the Vahzl Gate Crystal, is obtained from The Rescue in Selbina.

All three of those maps can also be found here.

The skeleton underlings that come to aid the Archlich are ridiculously weak. There are many, many ways to take care of them. The most important thing is to have one person assigned to this task, so that the rest of the party can concentrate on the Archlich without getting killed by mobs of weak enemies.

When I did this mission, I took care of the underlings as a RDM. Aquaveil, Stoneskin, Phalanx, Blaze Spikes. Spam Diaga to get their attention (you'll easily hold hate, since nobody else will be attacking them). Blaze Spikes alone is enough to kill them. Add on a sword, dagger, or club with a suitable Enspell and the occasional AOE spell (if you have the MP to spare), and you can take them all down very, very easily. Just reapply Stoneskin whenever it wears off, and keep yourself cured, and you'll be fine.

Of course, if you are going to have your RDM take care of them (which is very fun for the RDM, I might add), your party will need another healer, as the RDM will not be able to keep the tanks alive and deal with all the links at the same time.

I'm a MNK 48 and have done this 1 already.
But if anyone needs me, just give me a /tell ingame.
My name is Xiliath. I will be happy to help you all if I'm not doing anything else at the moment.
