CN Basment Apolly / Temenos

Hello,

After search and search I cannot find a post that give details as to how to kill CN basement bosses. -Here we go to see if we can get some insight on how to kill.

Apolly - Tier 1
-Worm + Mantis + Adamantoise

I have not been able to kill these 3 with 2 group (12peeps)
Party comp is PLD BRD RDM GEO WHM COR

We styime / Sab sleep 2, Turtle + Sandworm but we notice they don't even sleep a tremendous amount of time aprox not a full min or so - Attempted to bind/break them as other CN Apolly bosses but still constant resist/immuno and by that time you start hitting immuno's its pretty much a wipe due to worm Tp move of Extreme Purgation...

So if there could be some type of tips or recc I can get that would be great..

- Thanks for your help.

Temenos

Tier 1 :
2 Horse + 1 Aern

Not much there pretty easy just kept them slept and Zerg them down 1 by 1

Tier 2:
Chimera + Mammett + Iron Giant

2 RDM is a must *But the more the better to rotate

Keep Mammett / Iron Giant - Slept / Bind / Break the whole time while fighting Chimera for crowd control.

Then continue fighting Mamett while continuing bind / break / slept iron giant so doesnt wreck with its TP moves.

Finish off Mammett.

Much information I have for Temenos - if anyone needs.

I just did the Khim+Giant+Mammet as RUN yesterday, solo because appearently nobody wanted to pt with me (my armpits smell!)
They were relatively easy to stay alive against as RUN/WHM.
The Khimaira especially, the Iron Giant not so much, many of his moves were damaging.

Overall all 3 of them died in like, what, 30 mins?
But I got absolutely nothing out of it.
No exp, no ep, no cp, no "progress bar".
I mean, that's a bit anticlimactic I gotta say, but w/e

should have gotten ~1.5 bars of unique data. We had same issue on ultima for 3 pops though. 100%-0% and maybe 10% data

Home at my office desk every day idle in town watching shouts, and I haven't seen a single shout for these since they came out. But someone must be doing these because all but 2 of Objective 2 were done in Apollyon earlier

See bolded

Its based on PT/ally dmg done.

im aware, but to me solo means by him self, not in a outside alliance. I'm assuming he did this with a 6 box.

Wut???

No one calls multiboxing “solo”

I was about to ask when they said Solo.. I was like no damn way solo RUN/WHM

But no multi-boxing people do not call it solo, from what I am aware of.. Still considered players, not trusts.

He didnt solo kill all 3

There were other parties/alliances in the area killing the bosses. He was solo tanking, most likely with trust support, while the other people in the area was DPS. Hence the “nobody wanted to party with me”.

I tanked Iron Giant and Khimaira, and I was on my own with my party flag up.
Did a few shouts but nobody seemed interested. Or probably they were just jp-onry I dunno.

I haven't seen any yell in town either.
I happened to see it open when I went there to get a ??? in temenos and entered, only to found several people already in there but not engaged yet.

Why invite you when they can invite their friends to get credit while you tank it for them and get nothing? This whole NM system is ***, and SE is only doubling down on it more with the Ark Angels.

Its a very poorly thought out system. If you're within 30' and on the target hate list, you should get credit for damage dealt to it, since you're gonna get smoked by any AoE's they put out. You shouldnt need to be in pt/alliance of the DPS.

Regardless of how they give the special bar progress, I think it's a nice treat in general, sure I guess it quite clearly needs some fix but concept-wise I find it a nice idea.

I'm just wondering... why nothing else?
I mean Gil? Exp? EP? Chance of Alabaster/Murky items or in general stuff you can get from a chest? Units?

Atm the only "reward" seems to be the chest upgrade for the whole server. That can't be the only system, I mean, wtf?


I get that they are wary of making this content too attractive because otherwise too many people will want to try it and you can only do it once a month so they don't want people to *** they couldn't participate in it (heh, first time I actually find it available since when they added it, for instance)
But that too can't possibly be good game design.
How do you make a new thing and bind it behind a once-per-month timer and at random, unforseeable times?

I dunno, the more I think about it the more it seems like everything is made with really good intentions but extremely bad planning and game design =/
