==Notes==
*To enter the battlefied, talk to [[Twinkbrix]] in [[Oldton Movalpolos]] (E-13).
*Give [[Twinkbrix]] between 1-10,000 gil to have a chance at getting the key item required to go into the fight, the [[Shaft Gate Operating Dial]]. When given gil, he will roll two 50-sided dice.  Their combined total must be between 2 and X.  Every 200 gil you bet raises X by 1 for a maximum of 50. Betting 10,000 gil means the combined total of the dice must land between 2 and 50 (a 49% chance of winning).
**Trading 2716 gil on Lightsday can greatly improve your chances, but does not guarantee a successful win.  It is very unlikely that you will lose more than once or twice in a row using this Lightsday/2716 trick.
*Once you have the key item [[Shaft Gate Operating Dial]], you can go to [[Mine Shaft|Mine Shaft #2716]] yourself, using the furnace hatches in Newton and the three levers in Oldton, or you can pay him another 2000 gil for him to teleport you directly to the battlefield. 
*You will have the option of entering [[Automaton Assault]] or [[Pulling the Strings]] at the battlefield.  Only one of these two battlefields can be completed every 5 Earth days. 
*If you have the key item for [[Bionic Bug]], you can obtain the key item for [[Automaton Assault]] and [[Pulling the Strings]]; however, you will lose the key item for [[Bionic Bug]] when you use [[Twinkbrix]] to transport you to [[Mine Shaft #2716]]. 

*The battlefield will spawn 4 NMs, one from every race but your own.  They will attack one at a time, and the next will attack when a preceding automaton reaches low HP; you do not fight them all at once.
*All of the Automatons use Great Swords, and use the Great Sword weaponskills up to [[Crescent Moon]]. 
*The [[Shockwave]] weaponskill is especially dangerous, since it is an area sleep; Poison Potions are useful to prevent being slept by this.
*Each racial Automaton has different weaknesses to certain spells or skills. Weaknesses reported so far:
:*Elvaan: Weak to skillchain damage. No exemplified resistances.
:*Mithra: Weak to ranged attacks. Strong against physical.
:*Tarutaru: Weak to physical attacks. Strong against Magic
:*Galka: Weak to magic. Strong to physical.
:*Hume: Takes on the weaknesses of your race (ex: If a Mithra party attempts this ENM, the Hume will be weak to Ranged Attacks).
*Both earrings for the appropriate race can load into the Armoury Crate.
*The Lugworm Sand is the only item that regularly drops. All the other items have a smaller chance of loading, based on the race of the characters who win the ENM; all these other items are race-specific.
*Tarutaru can cast Ancient Magic. Appears to have an innate Fast Cast trait, as he has reported casting Flare in less than 6 seconds.
*It is possible to solo this ENM by a highly skilled and well geared job that can capitalize on all of the automaton weaknesses. NIN/RNG using Marksmanship, a good melee attack build, and a decent Ninjutsu INT build using the elemental wheel can clear this ENM within the 15 minute time limit with limited meds.
