Walkthrough
Defeat 100 EP+ Undead-type creatures during Earth Weather or on Earthsday.
- If you can find someone about level 37 to level sync to, Gusgen Mines is a great place to kill on Earthsday. Just run in a general circle around map 2, killing Wights, Wendigos, Mauth Doogs, Bogys, and Banshees, all are Easy Prey at level 37. Earth weather there seems to be fairly erratic at best.
- In case you could team up with a BLU
- Alternatively, find someone around level 30 and kill the weaker enemies in Gusgen Mines. A BLU's Bludgeon is able to kill Ghouls in 2 casts.
- You could also level sync to 25 and kill the skeleton warriors at the entrance to the zone. Bludgeon literally almost one shots them and you're still able to kill the Ghouls with roughly 2 bludgeons.
- If you can't find someone to level sync to, Garlaige Citadel is a good place to kill on Earthsday and Sandstorm.
- Either enter through Banishing Gate #1 & #2; or using backdoor method, Sauromugue Champaign (S) Maw > Sauromugue Champaign > Garlaige Citadel > Mandragora NPC & trade a flower to by pass gate breaches.
- Alternatively just drop down and circle through the area (I-6)/(I-7) and the cave at (I-8). The skeletons are easy prey at level 80.
- Another option for Earthsday solo is Bostaunieux Oubliette vs. Haunt, Hecatomb Hound, and Garm. Be prepared with a form of Silence and curative items/spells for Paralyze/Poison. Caution: Fight away from other Undead to avoid HP aggro.
- The Eldieme Necropolis between the B and C drop points on the second map has a lot of Tomb Mages and Tomb Warriors that are EP to a level 75, and they do not link. Don't forget to Sneak up before dropping down from above, and be aware that the Tomb Mages will cast Ice Spikes on themselves, so it's a good idea to bring a RDM for Dispel or a WHM for Paralyna.
- For those who have a Rhinostery Certificate, Toraimarai Canal can be an option on Earthsday. While there's no weather in this zone, the Mindcravers and Fleshcravers are about the same level as those in Garlaige Citadel and The Eldieme Necropolis, and there are half a dozen close to the Windurst Walls zone, with only one Impish Bats in the way.
Skeletons and Ghosts are strong against slashing weapons, but casting Banish, Banish II, or Banish III will reduce this for a short time, making for faster kills, as well as the extra damage from the spells.
