Hi everyone! Today we're again on Final Fantasy XI in the Voidwatch Event
We're to fight one of the strongest Enemy from this event, or maybe even the whole game
The Boss is called Botulus Rex, it's a Flan, Flan are usualy strong because they're only weak to Magic
They resist a lot Melee Attack, the real problem with this one is that he can use ChainSpell, with Meteor
Meteor is the strongest spell in the game, it's only used by the most powerful enemy from the game, and with ChainSpell, we can get hit by a lot of them
To fight him, we're going to use a strategies really original, because this strategie will use Black Mage as Tank
You'll probably want to tell me that Black Mage usualy Tank, and i can't say you're wrong
But this time, it's really on purpose because we'll try to Tank
The first objectif in this fight is to find a Red Trigger, the Trigger that'll both Freeze the boss, and also give us all Temporary Items back
But we'll need to keep this trigger, and not find it right away, then we'll just use our usual Temporary items
With them we'll also use the Fanatic Drink, the Fanatic Drink make us invinsible to physical attack
The only thing else we have to do is to use the maximum Thunder Spell we can, in order to do the Maximum damage possible
Without being afraid of getting aggro beceause we just used the Fanatic Drink
So there all Black Mage and Corsair must use their Elemental Spell in order to reduce as much as we can the life of the boss
To force him using his 2 Hour, ChainSpell, with which one he'll start using Meteor
Once he does, we'll use a Fool's Drink, the Fool's Drink work like the Fanatic Drink for Magic, we'll be invinsible to Magical Attack
It's better to use a Macro to use the Fool's Drink because once he use his 2 hour we have a really short time before dying
One thing i usualy do once i used the Fool's Drink, is to use Manawall
The real dificulty here isn't to survive the 2 Hour because with the Fool Drink, we're invinsible
it's to survive the after the 2 hour, during the 2 hour he'll be able to use only Magical Attack
He can't even use Auto-Attack, when his 2 Hour wear off, he'll start using them again
It help much to survive
Now we'll have to use the Red Trigger we kept earlier in order to get another Fanatic Drink and a Fool's Drink
Sonce once his 2 Hour is over, we can use the Fanatic Drink and start over
And do that again until the boss is dead, if it's not possible to get a Red Trigger
We'll have to let the Aggro to the paladin, so he can Tank again and we can start looking for another Trigger, and use the same strategie again
If everything works well, the boss can die fast enough
Don't underestimate this boss though, he's really powerful, he has for exemple a Aura Bio that do more than 20 HP/tick
So we can't remove it when we're next to him, with that he can also use 2 powerful attack
His first one will do stun, and it'll last very long with no way of healing ourselves
And the Charm, Cham isn't a problem for other as a Black Mage but it is for ourselves
Since we can die with the Bio when we're Charmed, since nobody can heal us
He can use other debuffs such as one that'll lower our maximum HP
With that, the Bio effect will be stronger since we have less HP to lose
He can also use crazy DoT that'll stack with Bio, like Drown, it do around 40 HP/tick
One ability he has that can make the fight last long, is Auto-Regen, whenever we stop doing him high damage
His life will rise again
It's possible to kill him with a strategies that require lot of Melee, with lot of Physical Attack
But since he resist more to Physical attack, the fight will last longer, so it's possible
But it's better to do it with Magical Damage, with Black Mage or Corsair
