I asked who the rdm was that said they got the chest to drop I can't find it in this thread.
Based on what people were saying, I was considering trying to spam seraph blade on it, and put a bunch of debuffs.
Thoughts?

Thoughts? The RDM that we had in our party was Torzak, you've probably seen him on our server. He hasn't been on much lately now that Rdm has been phased put of Sorti. But if you known or seen him you'd probably agree that he's probably the best Rdm on the server. He has a incredible Seraph Blade build too. If I seen him on again I'd definitely pick his brain on everything he used in our Sorti runs in the past. But i can tell you the buffs we used for him was magic buffs. wizards roll and once we started using Geo we did acuman/malaise for him. And looking back at everything I'm definitely leaning towards it being the Seraph Blade light damage that caused the chest to drop.
Edit: and yes I'd start there with the enfeebles and Seraph Blade, also make sure to keep it dispel'd because apparently the pixies can buff the unicorn as well. Maybe even try a enspell on it because I'm sure that was used too.

I think we're overlooking the very basic fact that this is a unicorn. Instead of killing the thing, why not befriend it and go on magical adventures? It will hand over the metal when you have learned the true meaning of friendship. unicorns often go hand in hand with rainbows right? Maybe there's a hidden pride flag, somewhere at the ceiling of the zone, marking the spot where the horn is ought to be s -toping the sentence right here in fruitles endeavour to dodge the inevitable topic ban.

Don't you need to be a maiden to befriend a unicorn?

You just gotta be pure of heart.

Someone with 1 post count so far.
No avatar profile
For this reason I wouldn't put much stock in his claim.
Also, does anyone else here remember when you could cast dia on the acuexes and just melee them down for chests as long as you didn't weaponskill?
It's likely the objective has changed since he got the chest assuming he was telling the truth.

Guys you aren't going to believe this but it wasn't crits from the front.
No in all seriousness I went in on mnk to try to break the horn and was unable to.
I could not get to the side of the head because I was solo and personally believe this is why I was unable to break the horn.
Is anyone familiar with the horn mechanic, on previous iterations of this monster?

The amount of manchildren I stumble upon on the daily proves you wrong.

Killed it three times with SAM, BRD, RDM. Tried casting songs next to it, cast light enfeebles on it via songs and RDM debuffs, nuked it with Banish in succession, used Light damage WS, killed it next to the Bitzer.
The only observation I could make is that it began to glow when it used its frontal TP moves. Using a WS on it at the same time seemed to remove the aura immediatly.

Was the aura up when it died?

Unicorns like Ambrosia, Nectar of the gods. So clearly you have to have the Ambrosia food effect active when you kill it. Or you know throw some *** skittles at it.

Just went in to try some things, no success yet. Going back in an hour and a half. It probably has something to do with the fact that there are only 2 Veela in the first room, when all other "Orgy Room" mob types have 3 in the first room. Going to try to see if I can find a 3rd Veela.

checking the unicorn page it lists 2 moves that remove status ailments, doesn't specify wether erase or -na type tho. I suppose a RDMs routine covers both types so maybe the gimmick is a minimum amount of status ailments removed?
But i think the whole status removal shebang has already been mentioned, did anyone try crits from the front yet?

Thanks for the info btw. Someone noted later on in the thread that it's possible the chest pop mechanics were changed for him. However, now I'm curious if enlight damage on him might work too... ygnas trust or pld enlight II?

Killed with MB setup with 6 enfeebles (slow/para/poison2/di2/fistract/frazzle) and 2 elemental dot (helix+burn). Nada.

I was looking at the chart on the 2nd page and noticed the two setups that got chest were mnk with monberaux(spelling?) and rdm. Could it be possible that its something to do with no healing magic? If the rdm was sanguine blading and monberaux does monberaux things.... ehh who knows.

This game is stupid and should be free to play.
I had a revelation last night. What if Ixion from historical greek mythology has the actual hint/ answer to proccing Ixion? See below post copy and pasted from wikipedia and my guesses at possible Ixion proc:
Ixion married Dia,[1] a daughter of Deioneus (or Eioneus), and promised his father-in-law a valuable present. However, he did not pay the bride price, so Deioneus stole [2] some of Ixion's horses in retaliation. Ixion concealed his resentment and invited his father-in-law to a feast at Larissa. When Deioneus arrived, Ixion pushed him into a bed of burning coals and wood [3]. These circumstances are secondary to the fact of Ixion's primordial act of murder; it could be accounted for quite differently: in the Greek Anthology (iii.12), among a collection of inscriptions from a temple in Cyzicus, is an epigrammatic description of Ixion slaying Phorbas and Polymelos, who had slain his mother, Megara, the "great one".
Ixion went mad, defiled by his act; the neighboring princes were so offended by this act of treachery and violation of xenia that they refused to perform the rituals that would cleanse Ixion of his guilt (see catharsis)[4]. Thereafter, Ixion lived as an outlaw and was shunned. By killing his father-in-law, Ixion was reckoned the first man guilty of kin-slaying in Greek mythology.
This act alone would warrant Ixion a terrible punishment, but Zeus took pity on Ixion and brought him to Olympus and introduced him at the table of the gods. Instead of being grateful, Ixion grew lustful for Hera, Zeus's wife, a further violation of guest–host relations. Zeus found out about his intentions and made a cloud in the shape of Hera, which became known as Nephele (from nephos "cloud") and tricked Ixion into coupling with it. From the union of Ixion and the false-Hera cloud came Imbros or Centauros, who mated with the Magnesian mares on Mount Pelion, Pindar told, engendering the race of Centaurs, who are called the Ixionidae from their descent.
Ixion was expelled from Olympus and blasted with a thunderbolt [5]. Zeus ordered Hermes to bind Ixion to a winged fiery wheel [6] [7] that was always spinning. Therefore, Ixion was bound to a burning solar wheel for all eternity, at first spinning across the heavens, but in later myth transferred to Tartarus [8]. Only when Orpheus [9] played his lyre during his trip to the Underworld to rescue Eurydice did it stop for a while [10][11].
[1] Cast Dia on Ixion (Dia 1? Dia 2? Light Shot?)
[2] Steal, Mug, or Despoil the Horse?
[3] Craft near Ixion... so he can be pushed in?
[4] Cast onto Ixion, Cure, Erase, Viruna, Esuna, Holy, Holy II?
[5] Have a BLU use Thunderbolt (Learned from behemoth) on Ixion
[6] Cast the elemental wheel in order on Ixion starting with Fire (Fire > Water > Thunder > Earth > Wind > Ice)
[7] Cast the elemental wheel in order on Ixion ending with Fire
(Water > Thunder > Earth > Wind > Ice > Fire)
[8] Cast Banish on Ixion to banish him to Tartarus...
[9] Equip an Orpheus Sash While playing a harp song near Ixion
[10] Sing a song while engaged on Ixion using a harp
[11] Sing a song debuff on Ixion using a harp
Please let one of the above memes actually be the answer.
Happy (proc) hunting
