Final Fantasy 14: Jeuno – The First Walk Alliance Raid Guide

Targets a location on the ground to slam, placing three concentric circles on the ground. The size of this attack is determined by the number of times Prishe says “Wait for it…” while casting. After Prishe slams the ground, the previously safe areas of the arena will detonate shortly after.

A hard-hitting tank buster attack that splits damage between three targets hit. Tanks should handle this with defensive abilities such as Rampart.

Places three staves on the ground with arrows pointing away from them. After a short duration, the staves will fire moderately sized AoEs that begin cascading in the direction of the arrows.

Marks large sections of the arena in red, creating lethal spikes on the ground when finished casting. This ability always precedes the following attack, Auroral Uppercut.

Knocks all players up and away from the center of the arena, with three curved lines extending from the player, indicating potential launch trajectories that will occur. Prishe will shout “Wait for it…” up to three times while charging up, indicating which trajectory will be selected.

Numerous orbs cover the arena. The orbs will begin swelling up in a sequence, detonating in a moderately sized AoE shortly after.

Fafnir will prepare an attack by charging either its head, feet, or tail, selecting a different attack based on which body part is charged.

Head Charged: Fafnir will breathe fire along the edge of the arena in a clockwise direction starting from where it is facing, leaving behind a persisting trail of fire. The ignited ground will extinguish itself after a short duration in the same order it was set alight. This attack will always be followed up with a tail-charged Offensive Posture.

Feet Charged: Fafnir will slam the ground, dealing damage in a large AoE around itself. When preceded by a head-charged Offensive Posture, players must remember which side of the arena will extinguish first in order to escape the slam in time.

Tail Charged: Fafnir will swipe the arena behind it in a 270 degree cone, leaving only the area directly in front of it safe.

A high-damage attack that splits damage across all targets hit. Hits multiple times in a row.

Fafnir deals unavoidable damage to all players before landing on the edge of the arena shortly after. Numerous wind AoEs will begin rotating around the arena, including a large ring that will either shrink from the outside-in, or grow from the inside-out.

Fafnir’s wings begin glowing purple, striking to the left and right of itself after a short duration.

Fafnir’s body begins glowing purple, shooting a laser directly in front of itself after a short duration.

An Ark Angel will tether to the player, applying an Epic Hero effect when finished casting. Players will only be able to damage the Ark Angel with the matching effect while it is active.

A variety of AoE patterns that occur in quick succession, including a checkerboard of ice attacks, a glowing orb players must face away from, a two-part flower attack, first detonating in a large AoE, then creating a small circular safespot players must stand inside, and a large crystal that shoots six cones of lightning around itself.

Ark Angel TT begins a lengthy cast that must be interrupted to prevent raid-wide damage.

Ark Angel TT teleports to one side of the room before cleaving the arena in front of him several times in a row after a short duration.

Ark Angel HM creates four clones that will tether to a player before chasing them after a short duration.

Ark Angel HM begins casting Mijin Gakure while Ark Angel EV creates an Ark Shield to protect them. Players must defeat the Ark Shield and interrupt the Mijin Gakure cast before it finishes in order to avoid lethal damage.

Ark Angel MR dashes around the arena, dealing damage in a linear AoE three times in quick succession before slamming the ground in a large AoE.

Sweeping swords appear around Shadow Lord during the cast time, telegraphing two sword slashes that will occur in quick succession once completed. The swords will always swipe to the left or right of him, then hit the opposite direction.

Similar to Giga Slash, but introduces a third sword swipe that strikes either in front or behind Shadow Lord.

Shadow Lord smashes the ground in a straight line. The AoE created begins cascading outward from itself, spreading to the left and right of the area originally struck.

Shadow Lord lifts two orbs in his hands that explode after a short duration. Before the cast finishes, one orb will grow in size, striking the entire half of the arena it is on instead.

Shadow Lord transforms the arena, dealing raid-wide damage and switching between the two phases of the fight.

Line telegraphs appear on the floor, knocking players away in the directions indicated. Multiple telegraphs may appear in succession, requiring players to remember the order they appeared in.

Circular and square telegraphs appear around the arena with thorns appearing on either the inside or outside of them, indicating safe or unsafe areas. If a shape has thorns on the inside of it, players must stand outside the shape, and vice versa.

Shadow Lord creates clones of himself that will cast either Giga Slash or Implosion, independent of the Shadow Lord himself.

Three sets of circular sigils appear on the ground in sequence, detonating in order at the end of the cast. Players will need to memorize the location and order of the sigils to dodge them successfully.
