Storm's Crown (Extreme)
Storm’s Crown (Extreme) is the Extreme version of the Barbariccia trial, unlocked by speaking to the Wandering Minstrel in Old Sharlayan (X:12.7, Y:14.3) after completing the 6.2 MSQ “The Wind Rises.” The fight features complex sword-tracking mechanics and a wind phase with deadly arena edges.
Barbariccia
Pre-Fight Setup
Assign clock positions: tanks North/South, healers East/West, DPS on intercardinals. Split into two light parties (1 tank, 1 healer, 2 DPS each).
Phase 1 - Normal Phase
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Void Aero IV | Raidwide | Heavy raidwide magic damage. Mitigate and heal. |
| Savage Barbery (Sword Down) | AoE | Sword facing down indicates a donut AoE. Move into Barbariccia’s hitbox to avoid. |
| Savage Barbery (Sword Up) | AoE | Sword facing up indicates a line AoE through front and back. Move to the sides. |
| Hair Raid (Raised) | AoE | If Barbariccia is raised in the air after throwing her sword, she creates a donut AoE around herself. |
| Hair Raid (Crouched) | Cleave | If crouched, she jumps to her sword and performs a cone AoE toward the arena center. Move behind the sword. |
| Void Aero III | Tankbuster | Tank buster inflicting Wind Resistance Down debuff. Requires tank swap. |
| Teasing Tangles | AoE | Players are tethered to circles and cannot leave without taking DoT damage. Stay inside until resolved. |
| Hair Spray | Spread | AoE markers on all players. Spread to assigned clock positions. |
| Deadly Twist | Stack | Stack markers on both healers. Light parties stack on their respective healers. |
Phase 2 - Wind Phase Transition
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Curling Iron | Knockback | Transition ability with knockback. Position to avoid being knocked into the wind border. |
| Wind Border | AoE | The arena edge fills with storm wind. Contact deals damage and inflicts Windburn DoT. |
Phase 3 - Wind Phase Mechanics
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Boulder Break | Tankbuster | Heavy tank buster during wind phase. |
| Knuckle Drum | Raidwide | Multiple hits of raidwide damage. Heavy mitigation required. |
| Blow Away | Knockback | Knockback that can push players into the wind border. Position carefully. |
| Brutal Rush | Cleave | Barbariccia dashes across the arena with a line AoE. |
| Upbraid | AoE | Targeted circle AoEs during wind phase. Keep moving. |
Mechanic Combinations
Throughout the fight, mechanics layer together:
- Savage Barbery + Hair Raid combinations require tracking sword position AND Barbariccia’s stance
- Teasing Tangles may overlap with Hair Spray or stack markers
- Wind phase mechanics combine with knockbacks and spreads
Notes:
- Watch Barbariccia’s sword orientation carefully—it determines the first AoE pattern.
- Track whether she’s raised or crouched after throwing the sword for the follow-up.
- Tank swap after Void Aero III due to the Wind Resistance Down debuff.
- Stay out of the wind border at all costs during Phase 3.
