iMoogle - An FFXI/FFXIV LS (2003 - 2014)

I just beat maat yesterday and just want to share it with the other drk in ls

Equipment:
weap: darksteal scythe (use vassago if you are lacking in acc)
head: optical hat
body: haubrek
hands: thick muffler
legs: thick (whatever its call i forgot )
feet: thick solet
back: anemite mantle
earings: assault, corral (also had slayer earing just in case)
rings: phalanx x2 (borrowed from jacky ...hehe..thx again jacky)
range: lighting bow just for +2 dex
neck: royal knight collar (opo opo in beginning to gain tp)

items: 4x sleep potion(for tp), 20x hi-potion (i used 18 ><),
1 icarus wing, 1 boil crab meat


Strategy: (i took off all equipment before entering BC, just a rumour it
helps...not sure...but did it just in case)

1. equipped opo ope and drank 4 sleep potion to gain 100 tp, ate crab
(remember to equip back to normal piece afterward)


2. ran from tunnel straight to fight platfom to other wall directly opposte of the tunnel without engageing in fight (so when maat sp you have a straight run to tunnel to avoid it,instead of runnnin in circles)

3. absorp vit to engage battle and used gully imediately
most strategy suggest u use wing right alway and gully again. I didnt' use this for 2 reasons:
a. i find if u use two gullies right alway he will sp right after...by that time u already took a couple of hits and you health prolly yellow...so now after he use sp you prolly will want to run ...and atleast take 1 hit from him...by that time u will have prolly mid health, a maat stun and and a ging ws can kill you easily.
b. gully seems to silence him decently, his lvl II elemental magic does a decent number of damgage to you...so if u spread out the your gully and maximise silence period to maat...it'll help a little.

4. After first gully straight out melee him, and keep your health high with hi potion. He hits me for about 100 dmg per with my equipment. Remember to drain him, it works quite well against him, arouind 200 per drain

5. about taking him down to 50% hp, he will sp, stun and run straight to the tunnel you enter from (this is where i ended the last half of the fight) i think max time he can land hits on you while sp is 4x, i got hit only once
*important note, when u run alway but you health is low, engage him and take potion even if his sp is on, so at least you will recover hp and be landing a few hits. Can also use your own sp at this point to help out

6. once his sp is off , engage him again. take time to recover health at this point, can also use your sp if you havn't done so (don't depend on sp to recover health, if hp low use potion, i depended on sp the second time i fought, he hit me once, stunned me and ws me and died, i didn't even landed one hit with my sp on)

7. after this you should have tp up so gully again.

8. recover health if necessary, then use wing and gully again. he died at this point.


*** most important thing is keep your hp high, no matter what part of the strategy you are on, stop it to recover your hp first. (don't depend on your sp to recover health, use high potion and drain)***

THIS IS ACTUALLY QUITE A EASY FIGHT,
JUST KEEP YOUR HEALTH HIGH!


Alternative method to fight when maat turns on sp:

Others have turn their sp on when maat does sp instead of stuna and run. This will work fine i think. But i figure if i can stun him and take less hit the better. If you weren't quick enough and he is still hitting while u run just turn back at engage and turn your own sp. I figured might as well stun him and try to avoid his sp.

Hey I beat Maat today. I equipped same as Omega except i have no Optical Hat so I equipped Celata. I also have a bomb Core instead of the bow. I used darksteel scythe because i don't want the -5% HP of my Acc Scythe.


You talk to Maat. Get a CG. You trade your drk paper to him then you got transported to a BC. You trade your paper to the glowing BC seal and enter the BC.

You lost your subjob at this point. My Att is 396, Def is 272 or so(before food). I have over 1100 HP. Lung should have more than that.

There is a tunnel in front of you, run to end you will see the old cake waiting for you in a lighted circular arean.

Before engaging, make sure you have the op-op necklace on, use one sleep potion. you will be slept. Sleep effect will wear off when you gained 25%TP. You then use anther one..... once you gained 100% TP(after 4 potions), you do the following:
1. take off op-op necklace and wear your normal Acc Att Necklace
2. take steamed crab
3. take HP Regen drink if you have one (I took one Persikos au Lait, but dont think it helped much)

Then, I targeted Maat, with my scythe drew I ran toward him, I casted ABS-Vit on him before he aggroed me, then Stunned him, then ran near him and used gully on him. At this point, he lost about 15% - 20% of his HP. He hit me for about 100 per hit. He hit not very fast. I use Hi-Potion to try to keep my HP above 800. He does some lvl2 Magic, Maat's Bash, hand to hand hit.. average 95 or so, crit for 150+.

1 or 2 min later, my TP was 100 again, so I did my second Gully. At this point, hes half dead. and he 2hr right away at 50% HP. I quickly Stunned him...However, I didn't follow Omega's strategy to run straight into tunnel but circled Maat when he 2hred. So I got hit twice ; ;

Maat start to hit harder at this point and my HP took a beat after his 2hr and ws. Its in low 600 and to low 700 while i fast eat Hi-Potion. I was busy drinking hi-potion then poped my 2hr as well at this point. 1 min later my TP is 100 again so I used gully for the 3rd time. hes pretty hurt at this point but continue to hit you hard. Please try to keep your own HP above 600 at least. Just keep tab on the /item "Hi-Potion" <me> macro.

at this point, he is more than 60% dead.. I could have just keep hitting him and drinking hi-potion but I want to end it asap so I took my Icarus Wing and used Gully for the 4th time. I think I basically wasted it because Maat gave up right before or right after I started my last gully.


Here is a video of someone beat Maat: Notice, he didn't stun and run at all when Maat 2hr.

key points: just as Omega said, don't lose cool. Keep your HP high (so bring enough Hi-Potion. I brought 26 with me, used 13).
