EDIT
Yes, correct, this. ^
I tried truncating the summaries of each class so they'd only be a few paragraphs instead of a dissertation. So I may have unwittingly left important clarifying details out of some. ^^;
So in the MSQ leading up to the Leviathan fight, Grand Marshal Eynzahr Slafyrsyn actually explains that when the Company of Heroes defeated Leviathan in 1562 6AE, they lured the Primal into a shallow inlet, which effectively prevented Leviathan from using any of his deadly abilities, ie Tidus Wave Tidal Wave. It is not explicitly stated, however I infer, that this strategy also prevented or limited Leviathan's ability to temper said Company of Heroes.
From the Sahagin Beast Tribe quests, we get a snippet that Leviathan's tempering process is called "Drowning" and that it occurs when a person is submerged in Leviathan's spray or from waters tainted/blessed by Leviathan. (ie the waters around the Sapsa Spawning Grounds.)
Now taking this info and applying it to the in-game Leviathan fight, I imagine there are two instances in which the Player Character, were it possible to be tempered, would become tempered. 1) The Player Character falls off the boat and into the water. 2) During Leviathan's Tidal Wave limit break. However, because the whole point of the aetheryte-laden, double boat dingy is to dampen Leviathan's magic and control over the sea, I theorize that the same shield that saves your life from Tidal Wave may also prevent a laymen from being tempered. Possibly. Maybe. Just go with it.
