WVD FFXI Event - 8 Demons strategy

Farming the 8 demons, Wizardry Variants Daphne, FFXI Event

Harken to Level 4, then walk to Level 5.

Immediately open the map, as this freezes all mobs, they don't move or detect the player while the map is open. Click in the bottom left of the large room on the left, then auto-walk there. Once auto-walk starts, immediately open the map again. You can still auto-walk with the map open but mobs won't react. If you have to fight, fight the enemy then open the map ASAP once it finishes, then resume auto-walk.

Once you arrive, the 8 demons start midway up the western wall so look for them, you want to ideally fight them with no other mobs triggered but if you take them out fast enough it doesn't matter too much. If you're doing the right-hand room, click in the middle-bottom of the room not bottom-right, as the first location is closer to where the demons spawn.

My successful lineup for the fight was this (level 60 party):

Fighter, Mage MC, Fighter
Camille/Healer, Alice, Adam.

Both MC and Adam had LA- spells upgraded to level 2. I think I used some scroll from the Mage Trial for one and Codex of Learning for the other one.

MC, Adam and Alice focus on AOE spells, Camille should immediately cast Reactive Healing on the back row, as the demons all target Adam because of his high damage output (must be his light element), the fighters should focus on attacking the tougher demons on left and right to whittle them down.

With this, it took 2 rounds to kill all demons, so a couple of extra enemy mobs giving support didn't end up being a big problem, since they'd only get one attack.

After defeating them, make use of the mini-map to walk out while avoiding any other demon mobs.
