Hey everyone, today, CL went to to the Dragon's Aery in The Boyahda Tree for Fafnir. It was a very interesting trip indeed and took the whole evening. It started off at 7pm SG time. Some of the LS was already at the Fafnir spawn point. I joined in somewhat halfway before he spawned. Seeing that there was only one LS there, i thought maybe i could go have dinner with ariel. After dinner, my brother shouted that there was a dragon on the screen any i should probably go take a look. I rushed to the computer and saw that Nidhogg spawned! But another LS had taken it ; ;
However, the other LS did not have enough manpower and was soon totally destroyed by Nidhogg, our LS then took over. I think we obeyed the laws of HNMs pretty properly, we did not engage the HNM until the LS that took it was completely wiped. We then got onto it. I learnt many things about dealing with Nidhogg. For one, no one is allowed to go behind it, therefore there were no fuidamas going on at all. Nidhogg has this attack called "Spike Flail" that attacks everyone its tail is facing, causing around 2-2.2k damage per person. More or less that means insta-death. Hence, the only way to kill him is to outlast him. Just keeping on bashing on him while healing and eventually stay on top!
The thing was... halfway while we were at it the LS managed to steal it from us. How exactly i have no idea... I think it was a bug, the whole alliance was wacking it and suddenly they claimed it. How weird. We soon got Nidhogg claimed back though and we carried on. Disaster then struck, for some reason one person behind Nidhogg got aggro... He did Spike Flail and took out the entire attack force... The paladins and the monk survived, bless high vit and high hp. Everyone else became paste. We were forced to release.
The whole LS rushed to the Dragon's Aery once more and the LS, seeing our defeat, followed suit. When the main body arrived, Nidhogg was already claimed ; ; We thought that we lost Nidhogg but the strangest thing happened. The other LS aggro-ed the Darters in the spawn area. The Darters are non aggro but link. I think a mis-targeted spell caused the entire Darter force to descend upon the other LS! They tried to surive but in the end, they were wiped once again. At last, CL got back to Nidhogg again and this time we finally won!
To be honest, the drop was kinda..... lacklustre. Neptunal leggings and a wyrm beard dropped. Congrats to Rukku for the legs and Kimu for the beard. A part of me wished that conventional Fafnir had spawned instead. Nidhogg really doesn't drop much loot but Fafnir drops alot of them. Alot of stuff i desire like Crimson mail and cuisses ^^;
Ah well... a fasntasy to be sure. Someday i want to be like Akira and wear that solid beautiful crimson mail. In the meantime however i'll just have to be satisfied with the title "Nidhogg Slayer" ^^;
