Notes:

• Timed Spawn on the island at (F-8).
• Respawn Time is every 22-2 hours (Earth time), will appear earlier after server maintenance.
• Uses all Hippogryph special attacks.
• Uses "Hoof Volley" (critical single-target damage attack that resets hate) after all of its special attacks. Very rarely can also use it without doing a special attack prior.

• A tank capable of using Blink or Utsusemi is recommended, as direct physical damage from "Hoof Volley" is likely to be too high. ("Fantod" + "Hoof Volley" is recorded to deal over 2100 direct damage!)
• It is not needed to have a blink tank if you kite it when it does its first TP move, then stop after it tries Hoof Volley.

• However, if it uses Jettatura, you cannot run out of range while Terrorized.

• Uses the Bard two-hour ability Soul Voice. Is capable of using it multiple times during the fight.
• Known to use the following Bard Songs with a high degree of Fast Cast:

• Army's Paeon IV
• Battlefield Elegy
• Valor Minuet III
• Knight's Minne III
• Foe Requiem V
• Horde Lullaby
• Magic Finale
• Advancing March
• Mage's Ballad II
• Dextrous Etude
• Quick Etude
  

• At least one Bard and/or Red Mage is recommended for use of Magic Finale or Dispel, in order to remove "Fantod" or any songs it places upon itself. Be aware that these dispellers may end up receiving serious Enmity from Boroka by the time the battle is over.
• It is immune to bind.
• Highly resistant to Silence, but can land with Elemental Seal.
• Builds a resistance to Repose and Sleep.
• Is susceptible to Sleep and Lullaby.
• Can be Stunned.

Historical Background

In Filipino mythology (specifically the Iloko), the boroka is a cannibalistic witch who appears as a creature with the head of a woman, the body and legs of a horse, and the wings of an eagle. She was fond of devouring children.
