Kirin is spawned by trading the seals from Byakko, Genbu, Seiryu and Suzaku to the ??? point at F-8 in the Shrine of Ru'Avitau.

Kirin will summon each of the four other Sky gods (Byakko, Genbu, Seiryu and Suzaku) as well as an elemental. The gods summoned as pets have the full strength and abilities of their Ru'Aun Gardens coutnterparts, but have less HP and do not drop items.

In most cases, someone will kite Kirin while it's summoning the other gods, and the main group will take them out as they are summoned. Once they are dead, the focus shifts to killing Kirin itself.

Usually, someone will continue to kite while damage is done via ranged attacks, weapon skills, black magic and avatars. Gravity can sometimes be used to slow Kirin down.

Kirin has Auto-Regen. It will Sleepga, use various AoE abilities/spells and use the SMN 2-hour Astral Flow. Kirin is constantly using TP-based attacks.

It takes at least a full alliance to take out Kirin, although more people are usually needed and subbed in and out of the main alliance.

Kirin will despawn if unclaimed for three minutes.
