The Minstrel's Ballad: Tsukuyomi's Pain
The extreme version of the Tsukuyomi trial, featuring complex Selenomancy mechanics and tight add phase DPS checks.
Tsukuyomi
Phase 1 (100% - 80%)
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Reprimand | Raidwide | Raid-wide damage that opens the fight. |
| Nightfall: Lead of the Underworld | Stack | Line AoE on a random DPS that must be shared. Voice line: “Beg for mercy!” |
| Nightfall: Steel of the Underworld | Cleave | Conal AoEs targeting tank → healer → DPS in sequence. Voice line: “Your end is near!” Spread by role. |
| Zashiki-asobi | AoE | Fans explode in sequence starting from center. Stand beside first AoE, then move to center. |
| Nightbloom | Raidwide | Heavy raid-wide AoE that ends Phase 1. |
Notes: Listen for voice lines to identify which Nightfall variant is coming.
Phase 2 (Add Phase)
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Specter Adds | Adds | Multiple add waves spawn and tether to Yotsuyu, building her Suffering bar. |
| Suffering Bar | Enrage | Reaching 100% Suffering causes a wipe. Burn adds quickly. |
| Specter of Zenos | Adds | Priority target. Casts Concentrativity (raid-wide + Down for the Count) and Dispersivity (continuous AoE). |
| Concentrativity | Raidwide | Raid-wide damage plus ~10 second Down for the Count debuff. |
| Dispersivity | Raidwide | Continuous AoE damage while Zenos is alive. |
Notes: Priority order: Specter of the Matriarch, Specter of the Patriarch, Specter of Asahi, then Specter of Zenos. Burn Zenos to transition.
Phase 3
| Mechanic | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Supreme Selenomancy | AoE | Arena divides into Moonlit (white) and Moonshadow (black) areas. |
| Selenomancy Stacks | AoE | Standing in either color inflicts stacking debuffs. At 5 stacks: bleed + 2-second Doom. |
| Doom Resolution | AoE | Move to the opposite color immediately when Doom appears or die instantly. |
| Lunar Halo | AoE | Moon spawns emit dynamo AoEs that inflict bleeds if stood in. |
| Torment Unto Death | Tankbuster / Cleave | Frontal cone tankbuster. Face boss away from party. |
Notes: Players start Phase 3 with three random stacks. Manage your stack count by alternating colors. Don’t let stacks reach 5.
