The Bardha's Tale

Yesterday I went into Limbus for the very first time to see what it was like. I went as a duo with Teila as she'd solo'd it a few times before as BLM, so I thought I'd help out as COR for mage buffs and Light Shot.

We decided on Apollyon NW, which was the ghost one. In keeping with CoP's usual vague-ness, I had to go and get some detergent from Sagheera in Port Jeuno and combine it with a key item Red Key Card (how we know we're supposed to do this, I have no idea, but Teila knew from before), so after I'd shelled out 30k for the detergent (key item: Cosmo Cleanse), we Teleported to Dem, entered the crystal and ran across Al'Taieu until we found the Aw’Euhvi NM, which, conveniently, was located beneath a Yovra.

Using the Sleep-nuke tactic, we killed it with little danger to our health, and both received a key item Red Key Card from it, so headed on over to the Swirling Vortex, and entered Apollyon.

It was silent inside, and like being in a purple Promyvion. There were two portals inside and a Sentinel Column, which can be clicked to see who is inside Limbus (as you cannot enter an area if someone else was in).

Apollyon NW, the area we wanted, was free, so in we went.

Inside, we saw an area which had a "main street" through some Prommy-style ruins, with several ghosts (known as Bardhas), and a giant Doomed (known as Pluto), which walked up and down the main street. I noticed that all the Bardhas and Pluto followed a set left-to-right, or back-and-forth walking pattern, similar to Guivre in QS Caves (only Guivre can change direction).

Amongst the mobs, there were also different coloured chests. Teila explained that some gave 5min time bonuses, and others gave MP and HP for example, so we took note of some of them for reference.

Anyway, after buffing with Wizard's Roll and Evoker's Roll, we began fighting. These mobs were designed for alliances and didn't go down easily but we got through a few in the time limit and got some Ancient Beastcoins, which was good.
