The Battle

• You DO NOT need to be on Samurai to enter the BCNM.
• You can die and Reraise without aggro (assuming you die outside of the main circle), but the demons regen HP when not engaged in battle.

  • Gaki (BLM)
  • Onki (SMN)
    • Assisted by Onibi
  • Rasetsu (DRK)
• Demons appear to be level 66-67.
• The demons are immune to all forms of Sleep and Silence; however, you can put Onibi to Sleep.
• Paralyze, Bind, and Gravity affect the demons, with resistance building over time.
• The demons use their 2-hour abilities at low HP.
• When Onki uses Astral Flow, even if he has Onibi (an Elemental) out, he summons an Avatar named Ayakashi, which can be any of the 6 original Celestial Avatars.
• Gaki can cast Burst in relatively quick succession, make sure to stun or have shadows.
• Onki has approximately 3000 hit points. Rasetsu has approximately 7500 hit points. Gaki has approximately 6000 hit points.
• Can be defeated by many combinations of two level 75 characters. Solo fight possible with some 75 jobs.
