The Fractal Continuum (Hard)
A return to the Allagan museum, now disturbed by the awakening of a dangerous Ultima Weapon prototype.
Motherbit
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Electrochemical Transfer | AoE | Revives Magitek Bits that dash around and fire column AoEs |
| Allagan Gravity | AoE | Puddle AoE that pulls players who get too close |
| Citadel Buster | AoE | Bits line up and fire columns - move BEHIND them |
Notes:
- Stay near the boss to quickly identify which direction Bits are facing
- Avoid getting too close to purple gravity puddles - they pull you in
- For Citadel Buster, identify Bit direction and get behind them
The Ultima Warrior
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Aetheroplasm | Tankbuster | Hits tank and surrounding area - use cooldowns |
| Citadel Buster | Cleave | Boss faces random player and fires column - move away |
| Ceruleum Vent | Raidwide | Moderate raid-wide damage |
| Primordial Aether | AoE | Varies by Primal statue - always followed by stack |
| Mass Aetheroplasm | Stack | Stack marker after Primordial Aether |
Notes:
- If boss turns to face you, move out of the way immediately
- Primordial Aether changes based on which Primal the boss tethers to:
- Zurvan: Get fire/ice buff, run to matching circle
- Sephirot: Green markers get growing puddles, spread out
- Sophia: Black/white markers must stack with opposite color
The Ultima Beast
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Death Spin | AoE | Point-blank AoE when boss raises arm - run out |
| Aether Bend | AoE | Donut AoE when boss stands up - get inside hitbox |
| Flare Star | AoE | Proximity AoE leaving fire puddle - run far away |
| Allagan Gravity | Spread | Purple markers get circular AoEs - don’t overlap |
| Light Pillar | AoE | Growing AoE from center - run through gaps |
| Allagan Flare | Spread | Tank gets spread marker - all move far away |
| Demi Ultima | Raidwide | Raid-wide damage, becomes enrage at 5% health |
| Forborn Beast | AoE | Boss damage buff - kill before it goes off |
Notes:
- Watch boss body position: arm raised = point-blank, standing up = donut
- At 5% health, boss casts slower Demi Ultima as enrage - kill before it completes
- Run through gaps in Light Pillar as it expands outward
