Special Notes on Monster and it's TP Moves

Hippogryphs are fairly soft monsters for their levels. However The Choke Breath move can be very dangerous to a caster, or Ninja tank. Hippogryphs have true sight, and do aggro!

 

Obtaining the Spell
Minimum Blue Mage Level Needed To Acquire Spell: Level 38
Jettatura is best hunted in Riverne Site #A01.

The spell is easily duoed on the 40-42 Hippogryphs. Any combination of the Blue Mage and a Tanking class can do the job. The Blue Mage will need to support the tank with healing and status cure spells, so /WHM is recommended. This spell can be soloed at 40, but the fight will be very very risky. Not recommended.

You must be on or past CoP mission 2-5 to enter Riverne Site #A01. Since the zone has a level cap of 40 make sure to bring proper gear, and equip spells that are 40 and lower. Party members should have Echo Drops to cure silence, and Remedies for paralysis. Having a White Mage with you, or a member with White Mage as a sub job, is very helpful for status cures.

Hippogryph Hunting Grounds Camp #1
Name Level Location
Hippogryph 40-42 Riverne Site #A01
Cloud Hippogryph 45-47 Riverne Site #A01

There is one Hippogryph on the very first island right where you enter Riverne Site #A01. Several more Hippogryphs can be found if you move to the larger island to the NW. The re-spawn time is fairly fast here, so itŐs not hard to wait for another try. If you choose to move on to the larger island, be aware that the Wyverns there aggro to sight, while the Clusters aggro sight and magic.

The Cloud Hippogryphs are much further in, and as they are higher level, a larger party will be needed if you choose to fight them. Since they take more work to get to, and kill, why bother?

 

Hippogryph Hunting Grounds Camp #2
Name Level Location
Nimbus Hippogryph 49-52 Riverne - Site #B01
Strato Hippogryph 55-57 Riverne - Site #B01

You can also hunt your spell from Nimbus Hippogryph in Riverne Site #B01. You will need to be on or past CoP mission 4-2 to have access. Be sure to have 50 Cap gear. Move on from the island you enter the zone upon. There is one Nimbus Hippogryph not far from the portal on the second isle. There are also several wyverns here also, take care. More Nimbus Hippogryphs can be found a bit farther in. All the same rules that applied in camp one should be followed here also.

 

Hippogryph Hunting Grounds Camp #3
Name Level Location
Grauberg Hippogryph 71-74?? Grauberg [S]

If you do not have CoP access then you can also hunt your spell from Grauberg Hippogryph in Grauberg [S]! Camp is at the G-7/G-8 area as shown on the map above. There are fifteen Grauberg Hippogryph wandering in this area. Like all Hippogryph, they are true sight and will aggro. The Hippogryph here con DC to a 75, so the level range is probably in the 71-74 range. You may need sneak and invisible to reach camp, as some Quadav and Peiste in the Zone can aggro by sound and sight to level 75 players.

Due to the level of the monsters, you'll want to be in your 70's when fighting here. A 75 BLU/NIN can solo here with only minor risk. A Tank/BLU Duo, or small party works best. Like all Hippogryph, these are quite soft and not hard to kill. Prepare as described in Camp #1 or #2 and you'll have no issues.

 

 

Special notes about the spell a Blue Mage may like to know
Can I solo it? Yes, but it's not recommended. Bring a friend with a tank job, and you can easily duo the spell with them. Two Blue Mages are very effective.
Do I need any special items? Yes, Echo Drops and Remedies to cure possible status effects. A warp item to save a long walk home is nice also. You also must be at or past the correct CoP missions. If you are lower then level 50 there is aggro possibilities on the way to the Riverne zones. Bring sneak and invisible items if needed. As the zones are capped, be sure to have armor and spells under the cap level, they are 40 for A, and 50 for B.
Do Hippogryphs like to use the move? Yes. It seems to be used as often as the others.
The Spell is a gaze attack. You need to face the enemy to have the spell work.
