Eden Prime#

Eden Prime is the first boss in the Eden’s Gate raid, which is part of the Shadowbringers expansion in Final Fantasy XIV. This fight is a test of your ability to deal with mechanics and work as a team. Here’s a breakdown to help you through the encounter.

Arena Layout#

The arena is a circular platform suspended over a vast desert. Pay attention to the edges: falling off means instant death. The boss resets if too many people fall off, so stay centered.

Phase 1: Basic Attacks and Engagement#

Eden Prime has several attacks in this phase:

1. Pure Beam – This is a straightforward, tank-buster ability. Make sure your tanks have cooldowns ready, and always keep an eye on your healer’s mana. Rotate the tank if necessary to help manage damage.
2. Eden’s Flare – A party-wide AoE attack that damages everyone. Healers should pre-cast their party heal spells just before this hits to keep everyone topped up.
3. Vice and Virtue – Targets two random players with large AoE circles. Designated players should spread out to avoid overlapping damage zones.

Phase 2: Pulse of the Land and Eden’s Gravity#

When Eden Prime hits around 70% health, it transitions to its second phase with new mechanics:

1. Pulse of the Land – The floor will glow in patterns giving you just a few seconds to move to safe zones. Pay close attention and immediately reposition to avoid taking heavy damage.
2. Eden’s Gravity – Marks a single player and summons a huge gravity well. This targeted player must move to the edge of the arena to minimize the overall damage to the raid.

Phase 3: Eden’s Blizzard and Fire#

At 40% health, Eden Prime begins using elemental attacks:

1. Eden’s Blizzard – Covers half the arena in ice, making it slick and causing players to slide if they move. Plan your movements carefully to avoid falling off.
2. Eden’s Fire – Marks players with a fire debuff. Spread out until the debuff expires to avoid sharing damage.

Final Phase: Ultimate Attacks#

Under 10% health, Eden Prime will use its most powerful attacks:

1. Dimensional Shift – Center of the arena becomes unsafe, forcing players to the edge. Stay alert to dodge subsequent AoEs from the boss.
2. Primal Light – Random targeted strikes; players must scatter and keep moving to avoid taking hits.

Pro Tips#

• Communication is Key: Call out when you see patterns or new attacks.
• Stay Calm and Focused: Panicking could lead to falling off or missing safe zones.
• Cooldown Management: Both tanks and healers should be aware of when the next big attacks are coming and be ready with their spells and abilities.

Beat Eden Prime, and you’ve successfully taken your first step into the Eden’s Gate raid! With coordination and awareness, this fight becomes more of a dance than a battle. Good luck!

Eden’s Gate: Voidwalker Guide#

So, you’ve taken up the challenge to face the Voidwalker in Final Fantasy XIV’s Eden’s Gate Raid? Awesome! This is one heck of a fight, but with some prep, you’ll be kicking Voidwalker’s butt in no time. Let’s break it down, phase by phase.

Phase 1: Introduction and Basic Mechanics#

Voidwalker starts with a bunch of basic mechanics to get you warmed up. Here’s what you need to watch out for:

• Aetherial Junction: Voidwalker casts this to create tether zones at three corners of the arena. Depending on the color (either green or purple), don’t stand in them or you’ll take massive damage.

• Unholy Darkness: This is a party-wide AoE that needs to be healed through. Healers, keep those spells ready!

• Hellwind: Puts everyone to 1 HP. Tanks and healers, coordinate to get everyone back to a safe HP level ASAP.

Pro Tip: Assign specific areas for your team to stand in during Hellwind to reduce the scrambling after the hit.

Phase 2: Light Dark Mechanics#

At around 60% HP, Voidwalker mixes things up with Light and Dark Circles.

• Light Circle: Glows white, burst of light-based damage. Move out of the glowing zones.

• Dark Circle: Glows black, burst of dark-based damage. Also avoid this at all costs.

• Entropy: This puts down two columns of light and dark zones. You’ll need to split the party to each side and dodge accordingly.

Coordination is key here. Split your team into two balanced groups, and make sure everyone is comfortable dodging out of circles.

Pro Tip: Use markers on the ground before the pull to help your team find safe spots faster.

Phase 3: Spectral Mechanics#

Around 30% HP, Voidwalker introduces Spectral Mechanics. Things get serious here.

• Specter of Light: Summons mini-Voids that do close-range AoE attacks. Spread out and DPS them down quickly.

• Doomvoid Guillotine: A linear AoE that can catch unprepared players off-guard. Watch the direction of the cast and move!

• Doomvoid Slicer: Another AoE, but this one hits in a wide, horizontal line. Tanks should position Voidwalker in a way so this only hits the tank and not the rest of the party.

During this phase, the fight becomes about dodging and burning down Voidwalker quickly. Keep your cooldowns for this phase; the faster you finish, the fewer mechanics you’ll face.

Pro Tip: Don’t stack too closely, but don’t spread too far either. This balance helps in handling AoEs efficiently.

Phase 4: Enrage Timer#

If Voidwalker isn’t down by now, you’re racing against the clock. Once it hits the Enrage Timer, Voidwalker releases a party-wiping AoE.

• Black Halo: This is the final warning. If this cast completes, it’s a wipe. Push your DPS hard to finish Voidwalker off before this happens.

Be prepared to use every last cooldown and limit break.

Pro Tip: Save your raids’ Limit Break 3 (LB3) for this phase. Healers can use it in a pinch to recover or DPS to secure the kill.

Final Thoughts#

Facing Voidwalker is more than just a test of your reflexes; it’s about team coordination and communication. Remember to study the patterns, practice your dodges, and keep those senses sharp. Keep trying, and soon Voidwalker will be just another part of your victory lap in Eden’s Gate.

Good luck and happy raiding!

FFXIV: Eden’s Gate Raid Guide#

Leviathan#

Alright, Warriors of Light, it’s time to face one of the most exhilarating fights in the Eden’s Gate raid series: Leviathan. This primal of the sea can be tricky, but with the right strategy, you can avoid being washed away. Let’s dive into the details!

Phase 1: The Start#

When the fight begins, Leviathan will swim around the platform, occasionally surfacing on either the east or west side. The main mechanic here is the “Gallant Breath,” which is a breath attack aimed directly at the main tank, so healers need to be prepared.

Keep an eye on where Leviathan emerges next. A marker will show where he’s about to use “Undersea Quake.” If he rises on the east side, the west side will be safe, and vice versa. Spread out to avoid splash damage and stack back up when safe to continue damaging him.

Phase 2: Chaos Unleashed#

Things get hectic as Leviathan’s attacks become more complex. One of his signature moves is “Tsunami,” which creates knockback zones across the arena. Watch your positioning and ensure you’re standing behind the water barriers that sporadically appear; otherwise, you’ll get thrown off the platform.

You’ll see Leviathan dive under the platform. At this stage, he will summon several adds. These can flood the arena if they’re not taken down promptly. Focus all DPS on the adds to avoid getting overwhelmed.

**Key Mechanics for Phase 2#

• Undersea Quake: Move to the opposite side.
• Tsunami: Stand behind water barriers to avoid knockback.
• Adds: Kill them quickly to prevent getting flooded.

Phase 3: Ride the Wave#

Leviathan starts to get serious in this phase. His attacks will mix previous mechanics with new ones. The key ability here is “Maelstrom,” which creates a whirling vortex in the center of the platform. Move to the edges to avoid getting sucked in.

Another attack to watch out for is “Drenching Pulse.” This attack will target players randomly with water bombs that explode after a few seconds. Spread out to avoid splashing each other and causing unnecessary damage.

Timing Is Everything#

Leviathan has a soft enrage mechanic. If the fight drags on too long, the entire platform gets flooded, resulting in a wipe. Be sure healers are on point with managing mana and keeping everyone healed up, while DPS should maximize their output.

Tips and Tricks#

• Communicate: Call out Leviathan’s positioning and upcoming attacks if you’re on voice chat.
• Spread Out: When dealing with attacks like “Drenching Pulse,” ensure every player is spaced out to minimize overlap damage.
• Stay on Task: Focus on dealing with adds quickly to prevent getting overrun.
• Mind the Gap: Avoid standing too close to the edge, especially during knockback phases to prevent falling off.

Leviathan Down#

Congratulations! Once you’ve got Leviathan down to zero HP, you’ll collect your loot and can breathe easy. That was no small feat, and you’ve just conquered one of the more challenging fights in Eden’s Gate. Ready for what’s next? Go forth, Warriors of Light, to the next challenge awaiting you in the endless halls of Eden.

Titania#

So, you’ve decided to tango with Titania, the whimsical yet deadly boss in FFXIV’s Eden’s Gate Raid? Great choice! Titania is a beautifully designed fight that’s as enchanting as it is challenging. Here’s a breakdown to make sure you and your party don’t get caught off guard.

Phase 1: Opening Act#

The fight kicks off with Titania using Phantasmal Blast. This is a straightforward raid-wide attack dealing moderate damage—healers, be ready to top everyone off. Up next is Bright Sabbath, another raid-wide AOE, so keep those heals coming!

Mist Rune is Titania’s first big mechanic. She’ll summon a bunch of fog sprites that need to be killed fast or they’ll explode and hurt everyone. Tanks should grab them while DPS focuses them down quickly.

Phase 2: Let the Trickery Begin#

Here’s where things start getting interesting. Titania will cast Divination Rune, littering the battlefield with red and blue circles. These circles will alternate between expanding and contracting. Dodge accordingly—get in the blue circle when it’s small and out when it’s big, and vice versa for the red.

During this phase, Titania will also use Puck’s Breath and Puck’s Cap, tank busters that target the main tank. Healers, throw your strongest ones here to keep the tank standing.

Phase 3: Fairy Glade#

Once Titania hits around 60% HP, she’ll summon her minions. Say hello to Puck, Peaseblossom, and Mustardseed! Each of these adds will have their own attacks:

• Puck: Uses Frost Rune—a knockback that everyone needs to get away from.
• Peaseblossom: Casts Flame Rune, which lays down fire AOE circles. Dodge these or you’ll be toast.
• Mustardseed: Unleashes Thunder Rune, targeting random players with lightning attacks. Spread out to mitigate the damage.

Prioritize killing the adds in this order: Peaseblossom, Mustardseed, then Puck.

Final Phase: All-Out Mayhem#

Titania’s down to her last bit of health, and she’s not happy. She’ll start spamming all her abilities from previous phases but now with added chaos. Watch out for Phantasmal Blast and Bright Sabbath while carefully dodging Divination Rune circles from Phase 2.

She’ll also bring back Mist Rune, this time summoning even more fog sprites. DPS, bring your A-game and nuke them fast. Tanks will need to use mitigation tools here to help lessen the burden on healers.

Finally, Titania throws out Wicked Aether, which combines multiple mechanics at once. Keep an eye on her cast bar and react quickly to any markers or visual cues.

Tips and Tricks#

• Communication is Key: Call out mechanics and positioning—especially during Divination Rune.
• Stay Focused: Healers should balance raid-wide damage and single-target tank heals.
• Positioning: Dodge AOEs and keep an eye on where you’re standing, especially during the latter phases.

Defeating Titania requires coordination, quick thinking, and a bit of luck. But with this guide, you’ll be well-equipped to take down the King (or Queen) of the Faeries. Dive in, stay alert, and enjoy the whimsical chaos!

Innocence: Understanding the Raid Boss Mechanics#

If you’ve made it to the Innocence fight in FFXIV’s Eden’s Gate, congratulations! This is one heck of an encounter, with lots of mechanics to master. But don’t worry, we’re here to break it down step by step so you and your team can smash through it like pros.

Phase 1: Getting to Know Innocence#

Cleansing Strike: Innocence will use this move often. It deals heavy raid-wide damage. Make sure your healers are ready to cast strong AoE heals like Medica II for White Mages or Sacred Soil for Scholars.

Reprobation: This is a tank buster. Tanks should use cooldowns like Rampart or Sentinel to mitigate the damage. Anyone else caught by this will likely go down in one hit, so stay clear of the dark energy arrow indicating the target.

Shadowreaver: It’s a big AoE attack. Innocence will raise his sword and start glowing before he slams it into the ground. Everyone needs to move out of the marked areas on the floor to avoid heavy damage.

Adds Phase: Innocence will summon small adds (additional enemies). Tanks should grab their attention immediately, while DPS players should focus on taking them down quickly. Healers, keep an eye on the entire raid’s health, as this part can get hectic.

Phase 2: It Gets Real#

Winged Reprobation: Innocence takes flight and rains down swords all over the arena. Watch the sword shadows on the ground to avoid getting skewered. This attack often follows the same general pattern, so learn it by heart.

Guiding Light: This is another AoE you need to dodge. It will show golden circles on the ground before it hits. Quickly move out of these marked spots.

Sinsphere: Innocence creates spheres that float around the arena. The tank needs to pick up these orbs while the DPS takes them down. If not handled quickly, the orbs explode and cause havoc.

Daybreak: This is the most intense move in Innocence’s toolkit. Healers and raid members need to be super attentive. It spawns light beams that deal significant damage and cause confusion. Stay calm, focus on dodging beams, and heal up quickly after the attack ends.

Phase 3: The Heart of Evil#

Exalted Durance: As Innocence reaches lower health, he gains this mechanic. He marks several players with light beams that need to be shared with the group to mitigate damage. Gather in the center and share the pain.

Beatific Vision: Another heavy AoE attack that keeps the healers on their toes. The move does big damage and also has a knockback effect. Position yourself to avoid getting thrown off the platform.

Light Pillar: Innocence will target random players with ground AoE circles. As soon as you see the circle appear under you, run out of it to avoid massive damage.

Enrage Timer: This is the final hurdle. If you don’t beat Innocence quickly enough, he will start charging an ultimate attack that wipes the group. Communicate with your team to push the damage phase and finish him off before the enrage takes you down.

Tips for Success#

• Keep Communication Open: It’s essential to talk with your team. Call out mechanics as they happen and remind others to dodge or stack up.
• Stay Calm Under Pressure: There are a lot of AoE mechanics that can feel overwhelming. Keep a cool head, and focus on your positioning.
• Trust Your Healers: They know their job, and they’ll keep everyone up as long as you avoid unnecessary damage.
• Be Prepared: Come into the fight with a firm grasp on these mechanics and a well-geared party. Practice makes perfect.

Now, go out there and show Innocence what you’re made of! Good luck, Warriors of Light!
