A notice will appear, telling you to attack the statues. If this is not completed The Balrog will recover to full HP and you will basically have lost. To survive through this stage, you should have everyone attacking the head of the balrog, except for two or three experts. These experienced players who have done this boss before should kill the mobs which are summoned on the bottom and right, also, they should be responsible for those two statues.
This is the last stage of The Balrog, it is now at full strength and has access to all its skills. During this stage the Balrog will become blue. The main threat during this stage is its Damage Reflection. Damage Reflection is a skill that The Balrog will cast and lasts around seconds, during this buff, Do not attack The Balrog. If you attack during this buff, you will be dealt damage after hitting the balrog.
The way to see if the buff is being casted or not is currently on is if the horns are white. There should be a small circular skill infront of The Balrog's mouth. Yum Yum Island.

So I got bored and decided to kill some Balrogs because why not. I've seen level 69 players solo it so I guess with a level ice mage, it should be a breeze. But no, the health bar never budged even after 3 minutes of continuous attacking.
Does the difficulty go up as your level increases or something? Everyone who is a ranged attacker Bowmen, Sins, Slingers, etc. Everything else is the same. The head and hands have more defense, so you will deal less damage here. Again, this phase is pretty much the same as easy. Phase Three This is where most parties fail. Unlike easy, damage reflect is casted MUCH sooner. In fact, damage reflect is casted when the HP is somewhere between the minutes and seconds.
With Minimap fully opened Have your ranged people stop attacking and your unranged Warriors, Brawlers, Dits, etc.
This is the safest way to attack. Everything else is the same, too. This point is where Damage Reflect about to start. Bonus Stage Congrats! You have beat the Balrog on Normal mode!
Normal mode has the same drops as easy, but not only is there more. They have 7 slots as usual but can be leveled up like reverse and timeless items.
They also cannot be traded after being equiped. These are some of the rarer drops from The Balrog Boss. They also have no stat requirement so they are good for Dexless Sins and Lukless Mages. Warning about Skills Players level will have no problems with attacking or using their skills. However, people with third job might have some problems with this.
First of all, any third job skills that are NOT passive will not work here. Skills like Burst Fire or Meso Explosion cannot be used here. There is one skill in particular that WILL doom you here. The same thing applies if you are a level 71 Marauder, a level 86 Chief bandit, or a Night Lord. Although each class gets their damage reduced to a certain range, I am only aware of the damage reduction for Pirates.
I'm pretty sure each class hits around - each hit. You might be saying "What is damage reflect? For example, if you hit the Balrog during damage reflect, the damage inflicted will show up as 1 and you can get around 8,, damage returned to you. However, Damage Reflection can still be estimated and avoided by timing. This will be explained below. There are two timing methods for Easy and Normal. If you stop At or after the time, chances are that your party will hit Balrog during damage reflect, and die out.
I stop 3 - 5 seconds before the given time. Also, please note that server lag also plays a crucial part in your timing. This may cause your time to be too early or too late. Sometimes, a person's clock is different than someone else's, so be aware of that.
Thanks Poison Control for reminding the info. Safe Method This method is not only safer, but allows time to have all your Expedition members to stop about 5 seconds early. How do you do this? Let's say that Balrog has casted damage reflect at 8 53 and finished the animation at 8 Instead of using the casting time, use the time when the animation finishes, which is 8 Get that time, subtract it by 1 minute, and you got your safe timing.
In this example, that would be 8 50 - 1 00, which is 7 I prefer this method when I am on Normal Mode. More Damage Method This method can be a bit dangerous, but is safe for the most part. This allows your party members to stop one second before the damage reflect is about to happen. Let's use the example from above. Using the time the animation finishes, 8 50, subtract 1 minute 3 seconds.
That would be 8 50 - 1 03, which is 7 I prefer this timing method on easy. On normal, however, this can pose danger and may kill your party if you are not careful.
How do I lead a Balrog run? Leading Balrog runs is not for everyone. Leaders must be patient, patient, patient, and patient. Leading a Balrog run comes down to three parts. If not, sit in channel 1 recruiting people. This allows you to get away from the spam while you are briefing your crew. Assemble the runners into 3 parties of 5 people, or as even a split as you can get with however many people you have and proceed to step 2. Give your runners a quick rundown of how the run is going to work.
Make sure to mention how you want to work the drops free-for-all, split, etc and whether you want them to attack the hands or head for the first ten minutes. If they are a totally new, refer them to this guide. You, as the expedition leader, should start the expedition and tell your team when to go in.
During the third phase, Balrog will start to damage reflect. You will need your timers to be on-guard and ready to time. If you cannot do this, chances are that your party will fail. It would be best if you, as a leader, can time. Sometimes, your timers WILL screw up and not time, so it would be best if you can time yourself.
Quest If you decide to obtain the Hero's Gladius through the quest, you are able to do a series of quests. Unfortunately, Hidden Street does not have the quests on their database.
However, I am able to provide some information about them. You get around , EXP from the quest. Just walk down, and you'll see him. He will ask for 20 balrog leathers.
I haven't completed this quest, but I'm assuming he gives you a pair of leather shoes. The Suspicious Man also gives scrolls for leathers. These are all the scrolls you can get. This is the Hero's Gladius. What does it do? It gives a buff that gives you 30 weapon attack and 30 magic attack. NX buffs have no effect on your Gladius, however.
