Sealed Baphomet Shrine - 2nd Renewal Attempt

Overview:
Sealed Baphomet Shrine is an instance dungeon that was introduced after the crack dimension has been discovered. The seals that imprisons The Great Baphomet has been weakened when Satan Morroc has awakened. Renewal reached the shores of pRO, so now we are prepared to challenge the Great Baphomet again.



The Cast:
Basically this team is designed on another instance dungeon that we have performed earlier however most of the members still wants more adventure that is why we made have this attempt. Although we have some spare supplies to work on, we are not really that prepared in terms of strategy in killing the MVP using this team.

The Adventure:
After we're finished on an instance dungeon, our group want's more adventure because our run appears to be shorter than expected. So what we have decided is to pay a visit at the Sealed Baphomet Shrine. We all know that pre-renewal that the Great Baphomet is a hard MVP but workable with a proper team. However in renewal he is still strong.



As we arrived at the Sealed Shrine, we talked to Friar Patrick to start our instance. We didn't have much expectation because we know the mechanics of the dungeon except for our two first timer in the team.



When Friar Patrick gave us the permission, we entered the dungeon and begun killing mobs of monsters. Then we performed the first part of the dungeon by getting the pendant followed by the gathering of essense of fire and token of apostle.



After we finished the first part of the shrine, we are now ready to face the Great Baphomet. We went to the middle of the room and release the seal.



Great Baphomet appeared infront of us and began bashing our team. Because we don't have a tank, we tried to use Extreme Vacuum to trap him but that didn't work perfectly. As soon as he gets out of being trapped, he whacks random members in our party. It created much confusion on our part on how to set-up on him.



We failed so many times in setting-up then regrouping because Great Baphomet is still very powerful. So instead of using extreme vacuum, I let myself be the tank so that the rest of the team can freely support and set-up.



However, because a sorcerer is not a natural tank, I can't cope with the damage being dealt to me, I spam a lot of mastela but there is a time where I can no longer out heal the damage. As soon as I went down, the rest of the team scrambles helplessly as the Great Baphomet runs for them.



We performed this setup countless times, until we were able to take the Great Baphomet down! It was a relief from all of us seeing that we were able to immerse as victorious after a long battle. I was running out of supplies too by the time he was defeated and it was a great feeling to finally defeated the Great Baphomet.



The drop is not that significant to us but we are happy that at least we have a reward after the long battle. Congratulations to all of us.



Analysis:
Sealed Baphomet Shrine became harder with the nerf of Shield Reflect technique. In our adventure the first part of the quest is easy because the monsters inside the dungeon is relatively weak to third jobs. However Great Baphomet proves to be called a monster because we had a hard time pinning him down. We have good support and MVP killer but the lack of reliable tanker makes our adventure hard.  We wasted a lot of supplies to sustain our attacks on Baphomet.
