First Floor[edit]

• Enemies: Fir Bholg x10 (Fomor)
  • About 4250 HP
  • Galka = PLD,
    Elvaan = THF,
    Hume = SAM,
    Tarutaru = BLM,
    Mithra = RDM
  • The Mage Fir Bholg are highly resistant to magic damage.
  • Each has a chance of dropping an Ancient Beastcoin.
  • Linking by sound.
  • Uses their respective two-hour abilities once each.
  • Susceptible to Lullaby, Sleep, and Repose
  • Summoner pullers need to be very careful, they will link and stay linked at times on pet pulls
  • Like all Limbus mobs, these have party hate: once aggroed, everyone in the alliance will have hate on the ones that aggro, so a sac puller must drop from the party before pulling.
• You can open only one of the three chests.
• The restore chest is on the left(brown), time in the middle(blue), and item on the right(gold).
• The Vortex and Chests come from the same race of Fomor, the same race as the person who first entered the zone.
• To pop the boxes, ALL fomors of the corresponding race must be defeated.
• The Items chest has 4 Ancient Beastcoins and 1-2 AF+1 material (BRD, DRK, SAM, BLM, WAR, BLU, SCH, WHM, ?).

Second Floor[edit]

• Enemies: Jidra x8 (Treants)

Arboricole Beetle

Arboricole Crawler

Arboricole Hornet

Arboricole Opo-opo

Arboricole Raven

Arboricole Spider

Apollyon Sapling

• Killing a Jidra causes one of the other monsters to spawn.
• Defeating the large, leafless Jidra opens the vortex (and doesn't spawn a kid).
• Boss is immune to Bind but susceptible to gravity and sleep.
  • The large Jidra has the same special attack changes as Cemetery Cherry
  • Leafstorm dispels all effects including food and gives Slow instead of damage.
• The Jidra never drop Ancient Beastcoins, but the others have a high chance to.
  • Jidra can be slept with Lullaby.
• When all enemies are dead, the Time, Items and Restore chests spawn. You can only open one.
  • They actually appear farther south than shown on the map.
• The Items chest has 4 Ancient Beastcoins and 1-2 AF+1 material (RNG, WHM, SMN, BLM, WAR, COR, DRG).

Third Floor[edit]

• Enemies: Armoury Crate x8 (Mimics)
  • Often drop an Ancient Beastcoin.
  • They only aggro when someone clicks on them to determine whether they are mimics or real chests. They are passive otherwise.
• Defeating one of the Mimics opens the vortex.
• The Time, Items and Restore chests are hidden among the Mimics. You can open all three.
  • They are randomly distributed--they are not in the places marked on the map.
  • You can't tell which chest it is which without opening it; they all look like Items chests.
• Note: As soon as an Avatar gets hate its hate is reset, making the SMN trick used in the mimic assault unable to work here.
• Note: You CAN, however, have one person with ranged attack shoot the chest from a distance greater than 21 yalms after someone attempts to open it. This will cause hate to shift, but draw-in will not process at that distance. Keep in mind though, they stay in aggro'd form, so take care not to run back within range of draw-in.
• Death Trap (AoE Stun and Poison) has a huge range (>31'). This ability has a somewhat lengthy activation time, so it is easy to stun it.

• The Items chest has 4 Ancient Beastcoins, 0-2 AF+1 materials (WAR, NIN, DRG, BLM, SAM, WHM, BLU, SCH) and 0-1 synthesis materials (Oxblood, Shell Powder, Light Steel, Clot Plasma, Darksteel Ore, Darksteel Sheet, Adaman Ore, Rainbow Thread).

Fourth Floor[edit]

• Enemies: Air Elemental x3

Dark Elemental x3

Earth Elemental x3

Fire Elemental x3

Ice Elemental x3

Light Elemental x3

Thunder Elemental x3

Water Elemental x3

• Often drop an Ancient Beastcoin
• They are susceptible to melee damage, unlike normal elementals. That being said, they still have a higher resistance than normal non-elemental monsters to melee attacks.
• Elementals of the same type link from anywhere in the zone. Elementals of different types do not link. All elementals aggro to magic and have shared party hate.
• A safe place to camp is the northeast corner near the exit portal where the final chest spawns.
• The Dark Elementals are resistant to Lullaby and Repose, and immune to Sleep.
• The Light Elementals are immune to Lullaby and Repose, but susceptible to Sleep.

• Defeating the Elementals corresponding to the in-game day that you entered this floor will spawn the final chest. I.E. if you entered the floor in Ice Day, kill Ice Elemental.
• The final chest has 4-5 Ancient Beastcoins, ~2 AF+1 materials (THF, BST, MNK, RDM, PLD, PUP, DNC), a Charcoal Chip and a possibility of a Metal Chip.
