The Interphos
The final trial of the Dawntrail MSQ, where players confront Queen Eternal (Sphene) in a climactic battle to determine the fate of Living Memory.
Queen Eternal
Phase 1:
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prosecution of War | Raidwide | Heavy raid-wide damage; mitigate and heal |
| Legitimate Force | Cleave | Half-arena cleave based on which hand’s sword glows; move to the non-glowing side. Comes in pairs |
| Aethertithe | Raidwide | Raid-wide damage |
| Authoritarianism | AoE | Line AoEs sweep across the arena from edges; find safe lanes |
| Royal Domain | Raidwide | Heavy raid-wide damage requiring mitigation |
| Dynastic Decree | Spread | Spread markers on all players; move apart |
| Divide We Stand | Stack/Spread | Players assigned to groups for split stack or spread mechanics |
| Endless Reign | Tankbuster | Multi-hit tankbuster; use defensive cooldowns |
Phase 2 (Virtual Shift):
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Virtual Shift | Raidwide | Transforms the arena; deals raid-wide damage |
| Absolute Authority | AoE | Multi-mechanic combo: spread markers, stack markers, and line AoEs resolve in sequence |
| Perfect Devotion | Adds | Summons copies of herself that perform Legitimate Force patterns; identify safe halves from each clone |
| World Shatter | Raidwide | Massive raid-wide damage; mitigate heavily |
Notes: Watch which hand’s sword is glowing during Legitimate Force to identify the safe half. During Absolute Authority, resolve spread first, then stack, while avoiding line AoEs. Perfect Devotion clones each cleave independently, so find the overlap of safe zones.
