Wamouracampa switch between a ball-like curled up state, and a uncurled one. When in the curled state the only TP moves they will use are Cannonball and Heat Barrier. The do not use these moves in the uncurled state. A very consistent way to get them to curl up, is with a good damage spike from spell or WS damage. If you just melee with them they will tend to stay in offensive form.

The damage from Heat Barriers spikes is very large, at about 50hp per hit.

The burn from Vitriolic Spray is about 30hp per tick.

Wamouracampa have high defense, and can take quite the pounding.

A solid party is recommended for this spell, with a dedicated tank. A basic exp party works very well. Several damage dealers or Black mages are helpful to kill the Wamouracampa. A 70 BLU/NIN can solo this spell.

One person in your party must have the key item from the cast metal plates to open the Gates of Halvung to reach camp. Equipping Blank Gaze or Geist Wall is a must for dealing with Heat Barrier. Sneak and invisibility are needed to reach all camps. Eye Drops are a help.

Once you zone into Mount Zhayolm, head to the first camp just past the Gates of Halvung at J-7. If you used the staging point, you'll need invisible to get past the clusters, and if it's night, sneak to pass the Ghosts. To open the gate you need to have the key item one gets from checking the Metal Plate ??? spawns. To get the quest, click the gates then find the active ??? that will give you the key item. It's also possible to reach the camp without the cast iron plates through the Alzadaal Undersea Ruins.

Many Wamouracampa spawn at camp A. If you fight here, be aware that Wamoura can link with them. Wamouracampa do not aggro, but will link with each other. Take care. You can find a safe camp right by the Gates. The supply of Wamouracampa at this camp should be more then enough for learning your spell, but if you wish, you can use camp B or C to find more targets. Camp C is not recommended, as there is a lot of other nasty aggro there.

There are also many Wamoura in Camp B. To reach them you need to pass sight aggro Trolls, and sight, and Job Ability aggro Flans. There is also one sound aggro Clot in the tunnel before the Camp B zone. Take care. There is a safe camp at the tunnel to Halvung at G-7 marked with an 8 on the map above.

The fights are pretty straight forward. Pull a Wamouracampa to a safe camp, and open up on it. These guys have a lot of defense, so having a Black Mage is a big help in putting them down. Your Tank needs to hold hate. A Cannonball into a mage can be deadly. If the Wamouracampa uses Heat Barrier, you need two Dispells to remove the spikes and the enfire. The spikes have to go, they deal a lot of damage. Erasing Amber Scutum is also a good idea, as the Defense Boost it adds is large.

Cannonball will only be used if the Wamouracampa is in it's balled up state. You should have no problems seeing the move, as the fights take a good bit. A solid exp party setup should have no issues with these fights.

While camp C is not recommended, there is a very good camp on the way to it. Enter Halvung at the entrance marked 8 on the first map, and move toward the exit at the one marked 5 on the map above. There are some bombs along the way, so use invisible to get past them. Once you are in the tunnel leading up to the exit to Mount Zhayolm (marked with an 5) you will find two Wamouracampa. They are lower level then the ones found earlier on the Mountain, and thus a bit simpler to kill. Handle them as directed in the Camp #1 notes. There is a red circle marking the location of the two spawns. You can camp near the Mountain zoneline safely.

A Level 70 BLU/NIN can Solo the spell at this Camp!

You will need juices, auto-refresh, and sanction refresh. Having Eithers is very useful. Be sure to have Pinecone Bomb, Blastbomb, Magnetite Cloud or Mysterious Light set. Back up sleep spells will not hurt. Have a way to Dispell set.

The strategy is to kite the Wamouracampa that you find in the tunnel up and down using Blastbombs Bind and Pinecone Bomb's Sleep to gain a bit of time when needed, while dealing steady damage to it with DD spells. The Gravity spells can be a real help. You can melee it, just keep Metallic Body up, so you can cast without getting interrupted if your shadows are down. Always try to keep shadows up. Eating a Cannonball is no fun! If things start to go bad, or you run low on MP sleep the Wamouracampa and zone.

To reach this camp, you will follow the same path as you did to get to camp #2. Once you zone into Mount Zhayolm via the the staging point, you'll need invisible to get past the clusters, and if it's night, sneak to pass the Ghosts. To open the gate you need to have the key item one gets from checking the Metal Plate ??? spawns. To get the quest, click the gates then find the active ??? that will give you the key item. It's also possible to reach the camp without the cast iron plates through the Alzadaal Undersea Ruins.

You will then need to pass sight aggro Trolls, and sound, magic and Job Ability aggro Flans. At H-7 you will head to the zone in the little tunnel to the south. Zone into Havlung at the point marked with a '4' on the map above.

Once you zone in to Halvung you are at your camp. At D-8, just past the gate you'll find after the Lava lake, you will find a Wamouracampa. Pull it through the gate with a ranged weapon, as there are Magic Agrro Bombs near. The Wamouracampa is lower level then the ones found earlier on the Mountain, and thus a bit simpler to kill. You can handle it as directed in the Camp #1 notes. Camp near the Mountain zoneline for safety.

The strategy is to kite the Wamouracampa that you will find just past the gate. You can pull the it through the gate with a ranged weapon safely, but watch out for the two Bombs that are right there with it. Remember that they will aggro magic!

Kite the Wamouracampa up and down the path that is before the lava lake, using Blastbombs Bind, and Pinecone Bomb's Sleep to gain a bit of time when needed, while dealing steady damage to it with DD spells. The Gravity spells can be a real help. You can melee it, just keep Metallic Body up, so you can cast without getting interrupted if your shadows are down. Always try to keep shadows up.

Cannonball can be learned in a Troll Mercenaries Besieged. You, a party, or alliance member must get the killing blow on the War Wamouracampa for a chance to learn the spell. You do not need to have had engaged the monster yourself to learn the spell.

Cannonball can be learned in the Lebros Cavern Assault Mission - Wamoura Farm Raid. You need the regular assault tags, and proper rank to enter the fight.

Cannonball can be learned in Salvage. You need the 1500 Assault points to enter, and to be in the right section. Your party should be able to handle them. They seem much weaker here then in Camp #1.
