==Notes==
*Although this mission may prove difficult for some, it can be easily completed by two RDM/BLM, who gravity the [[Gigaplasm]], drag it back up to the first map, and take it to the zone line.  Proceed to nuke and sleep at a distance.  If you are standing far enough away, you will not have aggro on the plasm divisions.
*One possible strategy from here is to have one player sleep one of the divisions, while the other casts gravity and zones the second split, causing it to deaggro and eventually depop.  If done properly and repeated each time the plasm splits, this mission becomes drastically easier.  You will still receive credit for completing the mission so long as one [[Nanoplasm]] is defeated.
