Ark Angel Tarutaru, anyone tried soloing it?

Apple you keep mentioning Savor +1, what is that weapon exactly I am unable to find any reference to it.

Ouch! It is Saber +1 :sweat:

I went there today but I was defeated in 13 minutes. I was hit by Poisonga II and all my shadows were gone. I quickly recasted Utsusemi:Ichi but AATT suddenly shot Amon Drive. I was petrified and killed then.

By the way, I did self-SC on him and it worked.

However, I made a lot of mistakes. I don't know why but I mistakenly opened the spell list while doing this. As a result, gear-swapping didn't work. Well, I think I had to get used to new macro set...

Anyway, his HP was down to 60% in 13 minutes. I guess his HP is around 15,000. I think I have to calm down a little since I was so panicked that I wasn't able to follow each step I thought of beforehand.

I am 3,400 to LV74 ;_; and have to join in XP PT tonight... I'll try again.

Something I found.

1) AATT is at LV75 or higher (I got 0.3 skill up for elemental magic)
2) Acc+ gears are necessary since accuracy was only 66%...
3) Yellow Curry is nice since it gives us resist sleep trait. (I resisted Sleepga two times)
4) Barpetrify seems to reduce the duration of petrification.
5) I was told not to go there on darksday since Amon Drive itself has dark attribute. (I'm not sure about this though)

Wow, thats some nice work. If you can avoid dying in the middle, and instead out that outside ring, you can safely reraise without getting aggro I believe. I know this works for the other AAs, but thats because those go back to the center.. I don't remember if TT continues to warp around while you are dead, or stay in the center.

Have you tried having a -% Magic Damage and -% Physical Damage equipment macro when you're petrified? Not too many -% magics, but this might be one of the few times the -20% physical Sand Mantle could be useful. :spin:

[Apple Pie]

Oh, that's a good idea. I'll definitely try it out next time.

[leii]

o.O holy.....that evil taru is insane...

Yeah, don't we get a Fencer's Earring that does -20% magic damage or something? I'm not sure but does magic damage decrease time you are asleep or is it just magic DAMAGE as in aero 3 or something like that?
