Battle Name: Fire in the Sky
Area: Monarch Linn (Riverne)
Restriction: Lv40 / 15min / 3ppl
Exp: 2500

NOTE: **** You must have reached Chains of Promathia mission 2-5 or above to have access to Monarch Linn. ****

Walkthrough on how to activate and reach the battle.

1. Talk to Morangeart in the Tavnazian Safehold (G-10 on the main floor).

2. If you have sufficient access rights, Morangeart will give you the key item “Monarch Beard”.

3. Travel through either ‘Riverne - Site #A01′ or ‘Riverne - Site #B01′ normally to Monarch Linn. If you have access to ‘Riverne - Site #B01′ it can be easier to go through this way as only one Giant Scale is required to get through to the Battlefield via this route.

4. Once at Monarch Linn, you will be able to choose one of the ENM battles at the battlefield. This is the same location as the CoP mission battle. Note that you can complete both an ENM and the mission battle while at Monarch Linn, if you wish.

When you start the battle Razorn gets a Random Element. If this element is casted on it, it will self destruct. With there only being 6 elements (Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, Ice, Lightning) there is only a 1/6 chance of it going boom. (No, Dark and Light will never make it go boom.)

Also by chance, 1/6 also I believe, the Self-Destructs can do damage. I never seems to do much damage to me, so i don’t know what this “loads of damage is” lol.

But all in all, It’s an Easy NM. Me(SMN) and WHM friend recently brought along a NIN that helped us kill Fire Drakes.

But in 6 runs we’ve gotten:
1 - Thugs Zamburak
2 - Crossbowmans Ring
3 - Ether Ring
4 - Woodsman Ring
5 - Woodsman Ring
6 - Woodsman Ring

As for people wanting a strategy, it’s simple.

SMN Goes in, Summon Ifrit after WHM buffs up, then runs to NM and Astral Flow. (Doesn’t matter how long Ifrit is out since you will waste all MP soon anyways)

Then you use your Yagudo Drink, and Inferno the bish. Also at the same time, the WHM should be casting Banishga II.

Use a Hi-Ether and run to other side of Arena and wait for ifrit do die. Resummon, don’t sic, WHM starts casting Banishga II again while you Inferno.

That should of killed it, i’ve only ever needed to 2hr twice, and if not, WHM can cast a quick Banish II or Banishga II.

Summoners are also capable of soloing this ENM by using the strategy that most people us for avatar fights. This includes: Astral Flow, run away, recast carby, and astral flow again. Having whm subbed is important because a Banishaga 2 can also be used to finish off any remaining HP.

Red mages can solo this by using Chainspell and spamming a nuke spell. Rdm/Blm is recommended for the added INT and elemental seal. Just remember to put aquaveil, stoneskin, blink, and phalanx on before engaging in case you need to finish off Razon with close combat.

*Note that there are four ENMs in this battlefield; you can enter a specific battlefield for ENMs once every 5 Earth days, so is it possible to complete only one of the four ENMs in Monarch Linn once every 5 days.
