Hunt 23: The Things We Do…
Overlord - Rank VI
You can complete this Hunt after you have gone through the Draklor Laboratory, after reaching the Imperial City of Archades. You can pick up the Bill in the Whitecap tavern in the Port of Balfonheim.
Petitioner
The ‘Insecure Seeq’ is hiding at the back of Bulward’s Technicks shop in the Molberry zone of the Imperial City of Archades.
Mark Location
The Overlord is hiding out near the entrance of the Sochen Palace Cave. He is around the corner in the northwestern portion.
It is easier to travel to this location by warping to the Tchita Uplands rather than to the Sochen Palace Cave warp point, as that orange Save Crystal is at the very back of the palace, whereas Overlord is right at the front.
Hunt Battle

Steal:
Forbidden Flesh (55%),
Fire Crystal (10%),
Gemini Gem (3%)
The Insecure Seeq will join you for this battle; however, he is extremely weak to Fire-based Magicks, so he will not last long during this fight. He can also cause problems if you have an “Ally: All” Gambit setup to buff your party members. He is immune to
Bubble, for example, which means that if you have an “Ally: All >
Bubble” Gambit, that party member will keep casting it and wasting their MP.
Set up some buff Gambits, but make sure to turn them off once you initiate the fight. You may even want to turn them back on again if the fight goes on too long. As mentioned above, the Insecure Seeq will likely be killed off fairly early in the fight, which will prevent you from wasting MP with an “Ally: All” Gambit.
Make sure to set up a
Dispel Gambit to deal with Overlord’s
Bravery buff. Overlord does a ton of damage, which is exacerbated with the
Bravery buff, so
Dispel it and spread your party around so that they can’t all be hit by Area of Effect (AoE) attacks such as Pyromania. You should also set up a Gambit to keep
Blind and
Slow cast on it at all times. It is very easy to get overwhelmed by Overlord’s damage-dealing capabilities during this fight, but bring it down quickly, and you will have no problems.
