Strategy

Decent Fight with the right setup: Take 2 WAR/NINS, 1 BST/NIN, 1 RDM/WHM. Really you can take any DPS job with high white damage and weapon skill. Just have provoke for one member.

Everyone waits at the ramp in back next to where rock floor/stone floor meet. BST summons Flowerpot bill. BST will attack Flayer Franz, in the center, first. Upon first hit, use Dream Flower. It should sleep the whole enemy party. BST uses Heel and runs pet back to the cave entrance where party is waiting. You Stay pet here. (*Make sure to stay here if pet was DOTTED by worms. Stay until pet's DOTS are gone. You may need to wait a full minute or so.) Once pet is parked and stays put, BST joins in on DPS.

Rest of party will target Flayer Franz. RDM silences boss. WARS attack, while one vokes, to establish hate. Kill the boss.

Remainder of fight is simple. Have RDM select nearest targets and cast Silence on a worm, FIRST. Then, WARS attack that worm. Rinse repeat until each worm is dead.

TIPS: DO NOT MOVE THE PET ONCE ITS STAYED. Leave it in the cave tunnel. You can probably bring it out w/1-2 worms remaining if you choose.

Barstonra to protect DPS from earth AoE. RDM should convert mid-fight when running low on MP.

2 WARS and 1 BST tend to destroy these worms and that makes the fight usually about 15mins. Possible to do 4 people's orbs in an hour.

• NOTE: You can take a BLM to Sleepga, but the BLM ends up doing nothing the whole fight and increases fight time. But can work if you're short a BST. BLM simply uses ES+Sleepga, focus on Flayer Franz, then once cast, runs back to cave ramp entrance and stays PUT. Don't leave until maybe 1 worm is left.
