Bomb Queen ring walkthrough

From House Paladin Wiki

::Information::

BQ (Bomb Queen) is a forced spawn NM. To make it POP, you trade 3 Bomb Queen Ashes and 1 Bomb Queen Core. You can get these by killing volcano gases or buying them from someone's bazaar.

::Location Information::

Her location for the POP is fairly easy to get to. You enter from the western most Yhoator Jungle entrance into Ifrit's Cauldron. Sneak and invisible are needed. After this you go through the middle entrance on the map (don't know how to explain it another way) and go down the tunnel. It is near the Dokomeki spawns (the ones that drop Hakutaku eyes). You trade the 3 ashes and 1 core to the ??? there and she will spawn.

::Fight Strategy::

General, it is best to have 14+ people. You divide melee into two groups. The tank (NIN or PLD) provokes BQ and (duh) tanks it! Easy right? Well every so often she spawns Baby Bombs (they have about 1500 HP). Everyone but the RNGs and PLD should use their WS's on these kiddy bombs. They like to explode within about 14-20 seconds of them popping so taking them out fast is #1 priority. BQ casts semi-annoying spells but they can be stunned. You cannot, however, stun the Baby Bomb spawnings. A SMN, WHM, and BRD would be best in the melee PTs for Earthern Ward/Barfira/Carol (or maybe a RDM for Barfira and just skip Carol to put the BRD in the tank PT).

I'm told BQ has about 30k HP. Fire/Firaga spells are very effective against her (but we really don't have any BLMs ).

I'm not sure if they changed it (like Hakutaku) but people say after she is killed, it will take 15 minutes for the ??? to repop.

::Group Setup::

At least an alliance of LV 68-75 people x 14. NIN seems to be the most prefable tank but any tank is good for the baby pops. A THF is also good for TH2. BLM are suggested but it can be done without them.
