Walkthrough[edit]

As of Aug 16, 2014 you are able to call Trust NPCs in this battlefield.

See the Discussion Page for Testimonies. You must receive the final cutscene for CoP 8-4 in Lufaise Meadows at Blueblade Fell to begin this quest.

  • Enter the Ducal Palace in Ru'Lude Gardens for a cutscene with Esha'ntarl.
  • Return to the Misareaux Coast and head for Cape Riverne. Entering the Dilapidated Gate at (F-7) triggers a required cutscene.
  • Go to Riverne - Site #B01.
  • Head to the green Unstable Displacement on the west side of (E-7). This acts as a battlefield entrance similar to the mini-battlefield in Ghelsba Outpost.
    • If you're walking, you'll be traveling through "normal" Unstable Displacement at (G-7) or (H-6), which requires a Giant Scale to open; kill the local drakes to obtain a scale, trade it to the Unstable Displacements to travel through them.
    • If you've completed Further Founts you can use the waypoint to travel to C-10 of Riverne - Site #B01
    • There's also a Homepoint in Riverne - Site #B01 that you can teleport to bypass the first Unstable Displacement
  • Check the green Unstable Displacement once for a cutscene.
  • Check it again and select the battle "Storms of Fate" when ready.

Bahamut[edit]

You face the Wyrmking Bahamut. Up to 18 people (one full Alliance) may enter the battlefield. This battle is uncapped. You are given 30 minutes to defeat him. HP/MP are fully restored upon entry. There is EXP loss in this fight.

Bahamut has about 26,000 HP. He casts the following spells:

He uses the following special attacks:

  • Absolute Terror: AoE Terror, absorbed by Utsusemi
  • Trample: AoE damage (~200-500), Knockback and Bind, absorbed by Utsusemi
  • Sweeping Flail: Large AoE (range 20) damage (~100-300) and Knockback, absorbed by Utsusemi
  • Touchdown: AoE wind damage (~300) and Knockback
  • Tempest Wing: Cone Attack wind(?) damage (~400)
  • Megaflare: Wide Cone Attack fire damage (~800).
    • He uses this every 10% HP he loses.
    • He insults the players before he uses it: "Children of Vana'diel, what do you think to accomplish by fighting for your lives?"
    • Further mocks the players while charging Megaflare: "You know your efforts are futile, yet still you resist..."
    • Taunts afterwards, too: "Your lives are a blasphemy against the mothercrystal!"
    • Don't bother stunning this; he'll use it again when Stun wears off.
    • Save your Stuns for his other spells, particularly Firaga IV and Dispelga.
    • Can use at will as a regular TP ability after 10% health.
  • Gigaflare: Wide Cone Attack fire damage (~1,200)
    • Used instead of Megaflare at 10% HP.
    • He insults the players before he uses it: "Contemplate on the good your death will bring as your mortal form is consumed by my brilliance!"
    • It is faster than Megaflare and harder to stun.
    • Stun this as there is a chance he will not try after stun wears, and may use Megaflare instead.
    • Can use at will as a regular TP ability after 10% health.

Post-Battle[edit]

  • Defeating Bahamut grants the Key ItemWhisper of the Wyrmking.
  • Return to Ru'Lude Gardens and enter the palace again for a final cutscene.
  • Some users say you must get a cutscene upon entering the Tenshodo and then a cutscene from the Rulude Gardens palace.

(Note: The key item received from this quest is a required item for each Alliance member in order to enter the BCNM The Wyrmking Descends.)
