Ambient Aether System

The boss spins twice to gather aether. The combination of spins determines the attack:

Movement PatternResultSafe Position
Spin + SpinPoint Blank AoEMove away from boss
Spin + FlipDonut AoEGet close to boss
Flip + FlipCross AoEStand in corners

Strategy:

  • Watch the boss’s aerial movements carefully - spins and flips telegraph attacks
  • Spin + Spin = get away, Spin + Flip = get close, Flip + Flip = corners
  • Stack for Akh Morn, spread for Akh Rhai
  • Move perpendicular to Exaflare lines to avoid
  • In Phase 3, Northern Cross freezes the arena - prepare for movement restrictions

Notes: This fight is about reading the boss’s body language. The spin/flip combination system takes practice but becomes intuitive. The arena has no death walls, but falling off still kills you.
