So... some dood on Leviathan finally killed all 6 caturae.
quotes from BG:
Quote: Previous kills counted (talking about caturae). Clear all 6> go to Joachim > Hall of Gods > F-7 in Qufim. It costs 10k cruor to enter, and it gives you the Crimson Traverser Stone.
There's a Cruor Prospector + Atma Infusionist inside to get buffs. Waiting for a friend to finish their CS to enter the battle. Quote: Well, tried it as RDM+THF; it wasn't that bad but I have no idea how much progress we made considering it doesn't have an HP bar.
It absorbs melee damage while it's using a WS or casting magic; never absorbed any nukes. Casts all -ga4 spells, and AM1. It used Cosmic Breath, but we were able to avoid that just by not being in front of it.
Its normal melee attacks behave like the Iron giants; can be absorbed by 2-3 shadows + additional effect stun.
We proc'd blue !! with Evisceration, was during piercing time so it seems like it follows the same rules. I kept getting say messages telling me that it was weak to ice magic (from the discernment abyssite I'm guessing), but blizzard4/3 didn't work.
I was able to get a new Crimson Traverser stone and can enter the fight again though; so it looks like unlimited tries, (well as many Traverser stones you have). Quote: Yep, 6 person BC, 30minutes.
ETA: Only pic I took was when we wiped, but here it is in case anyone was curious.
 incoming Fiat Lux 2.0 anyone?

Any word on how to get the Abyssite of Discernment yet? The dude in the Fight apparently had it, it would save a lot of guesswork and clusterfuck time.

If the Key Item to get in is infinite after you kill all 6 caturae, and this does drop twilight stuff(more than likely), that makes me a little sad. Everyone and their dog will be running around in the twilight gear. Even if it has a Kraken Club drop rate, people will spam that ***for two weeks and never sleep until they have it.

Idiots walking around in exceptional gear? Wow, this is terrible news, and totally hasn't already happened.

Also, lawl at thinking you'll be able to kill him soon, but maybe I'm wrong about him being hard too... Somebody beat it already.

According to jp wiki, Discernment comes from the quest to actually kill all 6 caturae, so you automatically have it once you can access shinryu.
Also, BC seems reasonably hard so far, one blog where I saw they beat it, they ended up having to brew it. So mostly likely won't be seeing TOO much twilight gear that soon unless people figure out some trick for it, lol.

besides that 2 million cruor still isnt that much to get.

Ok, dumb question, but what exactly does this Abyssite of Discernment do? I tried to Wiki it, no luck.

Based on SS's, it seems to narrow it down for you, so like, you get a message that says Monster's weaknesss appears to be a H2H WS/Fire based WS/Water based magic, etc...

Few things I'd like to know:
Does infobar reveal his HP?
Can you use temp items in the fight? (gogo brew!)
Where do you get this discernment abyssite? All zone boss kills?

Where do you get this discernment abyssite? All zone boss kills? you get the abyssite when defeated all of the 6 Caturae:
http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Caturae
kill all 9 zone bosses > go to joachim > hall of the gods > back to npc jeuno > hall of gods get asked to kill all 6 Caturaes after that back to joachim i assume. what i like to know: does it count if you defeated already 3 o them before flagging the quest?

I'm sure it's based on previously gained titles, that would make sense. Do you need to kill all 9 zones bosses too then?
