1. Thief or pld pops > 2 hours.
2. Burn it.
2a. Blade: Hi => Rudra's darkness took out 40% of its hp.
Notes:
- About the same HP as the other zone bosses, toughest one imo. Similar to... sandoria? I think that's the other one that spawns others.
- I was able to do this as Nin, Thf, Rdm (exceptionally geared). I think we beat it about 10-15 seconds after perfect dodge wore.
- Honestly, I think any balanced group of six can take it down as long as they're not pansies.
- Don't try to play around with the two pld adds it spawns, just don't.
I think you missed the "arch" part? Unless your "exceptionally geared" nin and thf did a 15-20k SC I don't think Hi > Rudra's took out 40% of its hp.
With that said, any BLU can solo the mini-boss. Not sure why you felt the need to post a strategy for it.
