The biggest advantage apple had in the fight was the ability to buff prefight with shell 4 and protect 4. At the time I didn't have that luxery, as well as much more mind and enhancing skill. YES the fight is a level 50 cap but the funny thing is ALL buffs that you do pre fight stick during the fight. So he could convert with more safety and wasn't as vulnerable to being slept and or paralyzed. (Poison potions are useless) your not allowed to drop your defenses when theirs both archduke and atleast one sorcer on the field. Second utesimi in this fight is useless too.. I later got this done with 3 people and it was the easiest fight in the world. Best setup using the same strategy is to have 2 rdm sneak 2hour kill the sorcers at the same time. Meanwhile a pld run in and voke the Archduke, than 1 rdm keeps the pld cured which isn't that hard. And the second takes out additinal adds as they appear. The 3 can avoid ever going below white health which was our case ^^
