FFXI - HorizonXI - Kirin - Sky Final Boss

"I am Kirin, master of the Shijin. The one who stands above all.
You, who have risen above your mortal status to contend with the gods... It is time to reap your reward."

Kirin appears as a High Notorious Monster in Final Fantasy XI: Rise of the Zilart, found deep within the Shrine of Ru'Avitau. It is the master of the Shijin and the final NM within the Tu'Lia NM System. In order to battle Kirin, players must first obtain proof of defeating the four Shijin, that being the Seal of Byakko, Seal of Genbu, Seal of Suzaku and Seal of Seiryu. Only by trading the 4 seals to its pop spot will Kirin be spawned.

Kirin is an Earth-based manticore, unlike most manticores in the game, which are affiliated to Wind. Kirin can perform manticore special attacks and is able to cast powerful Earth-based magic, such as Stonega IV, which is unavailable to players. It summons weaker versions of the four Shijin during battle to assist it. Kirin is also able to perform Astral Flow, where a random avatar (out of Carbuncle, Ifrit, Titan, Leviathan, Garuda, Shiva, or Ramuh) is summoned to unleash a devastating Astral Flow Blood Pact.
