I dont care what you say, this thing is tough as hell for a level 36-38. it almost made me soil myself. I was at the time a taru lvl 48 rdm/blm when I fought him.
So to start from the beginning. I was solo'ing in gusgen mines for my skull (arth Uhrgan quest) for more than 1 hour when a low lvl galka spoted him and shouted it and its locations. Passing nearby, i saw it and decided to engage it thinking that it would only take a min or 2. Boy was I wrong. the sec I first struck him, i knew something was wrong since I couldnt even see the damage that i did to him. granted am a taru but still, that thing keep hitting me non stop while I only took inches of his hp.
Needless to say the fight was long. it lasted about 10 min. It came close sometimes when he got my hp in the yellow near red, but i managed to kill him with all my buffs (Protect 3, shell 2, stonskin, phalanx, haste, blink, blaze spikes, enblizzard)
Honeslty, the thing that saved me was my MP. Thank god it was almost full when I engaged it or i would have been forced to uses extreme measures (abilities)
just be carfull when engaging him and have a whm with you cuz he's a %^tch with all his spells (paralyze, curse, etc) but doable alone for some jobs at lvl 44+
