The Final Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3
The third turn of the Final Coil features Phoenix, a majestic fight with fire mechanics, add management, and tight DPS checks.
Phoenix
A multi-phase fight with Bennu adds, fire mechanics, and strict timing requirements.
Phase 1 - Bennu, Blackfire & Whitefire (100% - 80%)
Rotation: Bennu spawn → Revelation → Blackfire → Whitefire → Repeat
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bennu | Adds | Spawns every minute starting ~5 seconds in |
| Revelation | Tankbuster | Massive elemental damage that cleaves - requires tank swap |
| Blackfire | AoE | Targets one DPS, one healer, off-tank - spawns adds |
| Whitefire | AoE | Large white circular AoEs on same targets as Blackfire |
Bennu Strategy:
- Kill Bennu quickly
- Don’t let multiple Bennies die too close together or Phoenix gains stacking buffs
- Each raid member death also gives Phoenix a stack
Revelation Strategy:
- Tanks cannot survive two consecutive Revelations
- Debuff increases next Revelation damage to ~40k
- Tank swap after each Revelation
Blackfire & Whitefire Strategy:
- Both target one DPS, one healer, and the off-tank
- Blackfire spawns adds that must not overlap (causes pulse + vulnerability)
- Whitefire creates large white circular AoEs
- Pile DPS together, pile healers together, off-tank separate
- Whitefire AoE must hit Blackfire adds to apply HP DOWN debuff before killing
Phase 1 Target: End around 79% HP after ~3 minutes
Phase 2 - Brand of Purgatory (80% - 52%)
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Brand of Purgatory | Spread | Fire debuff spreading between players |
| Flames of Rebirth | Raidwide | Heavy raid-wide damage |
Phase 3 - Flames of Unforgiveness
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Flames of Unforgiveness | AoE | Pattern-based fire attacks |
| Bennu | Adds | Continue spawning - maintain quick kills |
Phase 4 - Fountains & Pinions (52% - 0%)
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fountain of Fire | AoE | Puddles that buff boss if not interrupted |
| Scorched Pinion | Adds | Small burning birds with tether rushes |
Fountain of Fire Strategy:
- Party members standing in puddles take damage with stacking debuffs
- Ideally, off-tank takes four debuffs while each DPS takes two
- Prevents boss from gaining buffs
Scorched Pinion Strategy:
- Small birds with fiery column AoE (easily dodged)
- Tether attack rushes to random player
- Deals heavy damage to target and anyone in path
- Stay spread to minimize collateral damage
Notes:
- Brand of Purgatory and Revelation continue throughout Phase 4
- Tight DPS check - coordinate cooldowns
- Bennu management is critical for preventing boss buffs
- Tank swap discipline essential for Revelation
