Walkthrough[edit]

  1. You must go to La Vaule (S) to enter a battlefield event at Reinforced Gateway (F-9).
  2. In order to access the battlefield, all members must have the Tigris Stone key item, which is dropped from any Orc in the zone (excluding notorious monsters).
  3. Defeat the four Orc NMs: Darkheir Grradhod (SAM), Malicearm Razbhobb (MNK), Slitherword Razghogg (BLM), Gorepledge Rozzbrezz (PLD)
  4. An Armoury Crate will appear after they are defeated.
  5. Report back to Rasdinice to receive your reward.

Notes[edit]

  • This Campaign Ops is only available to those with Iron Emblem of Service or higher, and only when San d'Oria controls La Vaule (S)
  • Everyone must have this Campaign Ops active to enter the battlefield.
  • Your Campaign Ops credit and your Tigris Stone key item are consumed upon entering.
  • The entrance to the battlefield is located at the gateway at (F-9). The safest way to reach it is by following the northernmost path using Invisible or Prism Powder.
  • 30 minute time limit
  • Just as with a BCNM, buffs will wear upon entering.
  • Darkheir Grradhod seems to gain and lose benefits depending on which mobs are currently alive with him.

Strategy:

  • To win, only Darkheir Grradhod must be defeated. He has three helper Orcs which are much weaker, but respawn if defeated. He is a Samurai-type, and can use Meikyo Shisui.
    • Buffs are cleared upon entering the battlefield.
    • A good method is to have ONLY a tank approach the arena and pull with magic, then bring all four orcs to the entrance. The healer(s) can focus on the tank (PLD/NIN worked very well), and others can defeat the helpers. Each helper has relatively low HP (about 1,500). The helpers will respawn shortly after defeat, and as of a recent update, will become aggresive to the party again. (they share hate with their leader.)
    • When Darkheir is defeated, the others will despawn, and an Armoury Crate will appear in the arena.
    • Darkheir Grradhod has about 30,000 HP. Highly resistant to debuffs and Sleep.
    • The helper orcs can be easily slept, though they begin to resist after being slept twice.
      • Light Shot seemed to land the entire fight but the duration would start to decrease.
    • Dispel and Elemental DoT Magic such as Drown and Rasp seem to land best on Darkheir.
    • Be cautious of Darkheir Grradhod's Shoulder Charge TP move, which can deal extreme physical damage (700+ to PLD, 1500+ to melee or mage). This move is Frontal Cone AoE. do not face behind the tank without shadows.
    • Tornado Edge seems to be a Cone Attack. Inflicts Max HP Down, Max MP Down and Max TP Down which must be erased.
    • Darkheir Grradhod counters frequently. You may not want your tank to engage.
