CoP The Mothercrystals.

Question regarding the boss on all 3 of these Teleports,
which spells do they use?

I only did Teleport-Dem, which is supposed to be the easiest one. It used Paralyze on me and thats pretty much all I can remember. How about the rest?

Re: CoP The Mothercrystals.

I don't remember all the abilities, but a quick rundown of the important ones:

Promyvion-Mea

Boss: Delver (Craver type)

Notable abilities:

Carousel - area effect, knockback, large amounts of damage, can be blocked with 2(?) shadows

Promyvion Brume - Wide angle cone attack, magic damage cone, add effect Poison with large damage per tick

Promyvion-Holla

Boss: Wreaker (Thinker type)

Notable abilities:

Shadow Spreads - Area effect Sleep + Curse

Trinary Absorption - Absorbs at least 1 beneficial effect from target player and gives it to the NM (can also absorb Protect, Shell, and if I recall correctly, even Utsusemi and Food effects, beware!). If no buffs are available to absorb, drains over 100HP from the target.

Promyvion-Dem

Boss: Progenerator

Notable abilities:

Fission: Spawns an Offspring NM

Promyvion Charge: Large single hit damage, blinkable

If you get a good group of people, going up to the spire is more difficult then the mission BCNM is. I don't remember any of the NM's casting any spells, just using their special abilities.

Incidentally, the first one Icemage lists (Craver type) is Mea, not Holla.

Thanks. Appreciate the great responses.

Does poision potion prevent you from getting sleeped as well as hp absorption?

Does Holy Water prevent curse? Or do you need to take it only when you get cursed?

I heard one of the bosses uses gravity, which one is it?

Yes. In short you will be poisoning yourself when you go up against th Holla boss, and yes it will absorb negative effects as well as positive effects. Of course that would mean you would have to poison yourself again.

Does Holy Water prevent curse? Or do you need to take it only when you get cursed?

Holy water only removes it.

I heard one of the bosses uses gravity, which one is it?

Mea? I believe it was my first time having gravity cast on me, man that was funny. I don't know if it was the boss that did it though or mobs we were killing for recollections.

The Clan of the Angry Monkey LS does lots of Promyvion runs, and they have a couple excellent guides.

Fixed the typo. Was in a hurry when I posted that, didn't notice I had Holla listed twice. Thanks.
