Talk:Trial 1009

From FFXI Wiki

Found a really quick and simple method to complete this trial. Since this trial doesn't involve "Killing Blows" like the other weapon trials, I used the unique properties of the NM Cherti (who happens to also be a Beast) to effortlessly complete it.

Summon your best Tank Trust, along with your typical support & healer Trusts to cap your magical Haste (ex: Koru-Moru for Haste II, along with Cornelia or Joachim). Start the fight against Cherti and engage, while making sure your support/healer trusts aren't in the frontal area of Cherti (it uses Petribreath).

Eventually (at around 90% HP) Cherti will change mode and likely swap to either Magic or Ranged mode, which will cause all your melee attacks and weaponskills to deal single to double digit damage. Because you haven't brought another damage type with your Trust setup, he'll remain in either mode for the entire duration of the fight.

Enjoy spamming Stringing Pummel on your nearly invincible Beast target dummy!

PS: You will likely need to spawn Cherti twice to complete the Trial, since after the first 100 Pummels or so Cherti will likely just despawn while you are engaged since the fight timer expired. --Crescendo (talk) 13:44, 22 October 2017 (EDT)
