Quest Name: Too Far Gone, or Gone Too Far?
8-man Trial - "Scars of Gyr Abania"
Avg. Item Level: 110
Extreme Mode difficulty.
Twenty years have passed since the fall of Ala Mhigo to the Garleans and the fallen city-state's refugees will wait no longer for the Eorzean Alliance to aid their cause. Sounsyy Mirke, former Maelstrom Captain and instigator of this rebellion has illegally commandeered a Lominsan Warship to the Gyr Abania region with the help of her Levy. Ala Mhigan refugees across Eorzea have answered the Captain's call, disturbing the peace in the Alliance city-states. In the interest of preventing further rioting in Ul'dah, the Syndicate has commissioned a small contingent of adventurers to quiet the rebellion before it brings war to the Garleans and its fellow Eorzeans. The Captain has gone too far, lay her to rest with her brethren.
The Broken Watchtower is sealed off! Face the consequences of your actions, as Sounsyy must.
Enemies:
Sounsyy Mirke - Lancer, very high HP, high block rate, low attack speed.
Opening Cutscene: "When we pleaded fer soldiers to help us retake Ala Mhigo, none came! Now yer blissful ignorance is disturbed, you waste not a moment!" -Sounsyy
Phase 1 - (100-88% HP) Battle starts against Sounsyy alone using a spear. At the start of the fight Sounsyy will immediately cast Revenant of Nathaniel, causing the arena to come alive with shades of some battle between the Resistance and the Garleans long ago. (Merely scenery.)
Sounsyy Attacks:
[Revenant of Nathaniel] - 1s Cast Time. Inflicts Sounsyy with -10% damage mitigation while increases her attack power by 10%.
[Part the Seas] - 3s Cast Time. Targets a random player with an AoE dash attack which deals damage in a reversed cone shape. (Meaning the area immediately in front of Sounsyy is the wide part of the cone, while the end point of her dash narrows to a point.) Damage increases exponentially to players caught in the narrow area of the cone.
[Nymeia's Spurn] - Instant Cast. This attack inflicts damage and a 6s Bind debuff to a random player. Sounsyy will use this shortly before her 2nd and 3rd Part the Seas attack.
[Guided Sting] - Instant Cast. Sounsyy stabs her target with her spear, dealing a critical hit! Awareness buff causes this attack to miss.
[Agonized Howl] - 5s Cast Time. Sounsyy absorbs the spirit of Nathaniel, giving her a buff which increases her attack power by 20% and grants her a weak Regen effect. This buff will persist for the entirety of the fight if successfully cast.
Phase 2 - (88-40% HP) Sounsyy becomes untargetable as Ceirtette Cambre add enters the field. Sounsyy tosses her spear to Ceirtette and draws her shortsword from the scabbard above her rear and picks up her famed Ala Mhigan Scutum off the ground from the remains of a fallen ghost soldier. Sounsyy becomes targetable again and immediately begins casting Revenants of Iron Lake, causing the arena to transform yet again. The pillars of the old Watchtower become Nymian ruins and ghosts of Sounsyy's former 17th Levy do battle between the ruins against overwhelming Garlean numbers. (Again, merely scenery.)
Enemies:
Sounsyy Mirke - Gladiator, very high HP, high block rate, low attack speed.
Ceirtette Cambre - Lancer class, moderate HP, moderate defense and attack power.
"We survived this field before! I won't let you die here now!" -Ceirtette, joining the battle.
Ceirtette Attacks:
[Wearied Prod] - Instant Cast. Ceirtette unleashes a two-fold attack on her target.
[Part the Seas] - 3s Cast Time. Targets Sounsyy's tank with an AoE dash attack which deals damage in a reversed cone shape. Damage increases exponentially to players caught in the narrow area of the cone.
[All To Blame] - 5s Cast Time. Deals an attack equal to the total HP of her targeted player. Damage is split between all Party Members who stand between Ceirtette and the targeted Party Member.
[Stand Trial] - Instant Cast. Ceirtette impales a random DPS with her spear and lifts him/her from the ground. The impaled Player is immobilized and inflicted with a DoT lasting as long as impaled. This effect lasts until the Party Member dies or 2000 damage is dealt to Ceirtette.
"Bravely we lay down our lives for our nation! Will you?" -Ceirtette, using Stand Trial.
Sounsyy Attacks:
[Revenants of Iron Lake] - 1s Cast Time. Inflicts Sounsyy with -5% damage mitigation while increasing her attack power by 15%.
[Guided Sting] - Instant Cast. Sounsyy stabs with her shortsword, dealing a critical hit! Awareness buff causes this attack to miss.
[Griffin Strike] - Instant Cast. Turns to shield swipe the nearest Healer or DPS, dealing damage and inflicting the player with a potent, 15s Slow debuff which cannot be dispelled.
[All To Blame] - 5s Cast Time. Deals an attack equal to the total HP of her targeted player. Damage is split between all Party Members who stand between Sounsyy and the targeted Party Member.
[Summary Execution] - 10s Cast Time. Sounsyy begins casting the moment a player is impaled by Ceirtette's Stand Trial. If the impaled Party Member is not released by the end of Summary Execution's cast, Sounsyy will slash their throat, dealing damage equal to 90% of that Player's total HP. Sounsyy and Ceirtette will each gain a stack of Justification per successfully cast Summary Execution.
Phase 3 - (40-0% HP) Once Phase 3 begins, Sounsyy will immediately begin casting Revenants of Carteneau, transforming the arena one last time to reflect the horrors of the battle before the Calamity - the Garleans now fighting the Eorzean Alliance. If Ceirtette is still alive, she will begin gaining stacks of Hope of a Nation. If Ceirtette is dead before phase shift, Sounsyy will immediately gain 8 stacks of Grief of a Nation after finishing her previous cast.
"The dream of a reborn Ala Mhigo will not die here!" -Ceirtette, using Hope of a Nation.
"You stood idly by and watched my people suffer! I'll not be so idle as I watch yer suffering!" -Sounsyy, using Grief of a Nation.
Ceirtette Attacks:
[Hope of a Nation] - Gains one stack every 15s. Each stack greatly increases Ceirtette's attack speed and physical defense.
[Wearied Prod] - Instant Cast. Ceirtette unleashes a two-fold attack on her target.
[Part the Seas] - 3s Cast Time. Targets Sounsyy's tank with an AoE dash attack which deals damage in a reversed cone shape. Damage increases exponentially to players caught in the narrow area of the cone.
[All To Blame] - 5s Cast Time. Deals an attack equal to the total HP of her targeted player. Damage is split between all Party Members who stand between Ceirtette and the targeted Party Member.
[Accountability] - Instant Cast. Unleashes a devastating, multi-fold attack against her target. This attack will add an additional, equal damaging hit per stack of Justification acquired in Phase 2.
Sounsyy Attacks:
[Revenants of Carteneau] - 1s Cast Time. Increases Sounsyy's attack power by 20%.
[Grief of a Nation] - Each stack greatly increases Sounsyy's determination and magic defense. Stacks only begin accruing upon Ceirtette's death. Additional stacks will accumulate every 10s, up to 8 stacks.
[Guided Sting] - Instant Cast. Sounsyy stabs with her shortsword, dealing a critical hit! Awareness buff causes this attack to miss.
[Artillery] - 1s Cast Time. Sounsyy raises her shield into the air, grabbing the attention of Garlean artillery cannons. Three random players will be struck by cannons.
[All To Blame] - 5s Cast Time. Deals an attack equal to the total HP of her targeted player. Damage is split between all Party Members who stand between Sounsyy and the targeted Party Member.
[Blood in the Water] - 3s Cast Time. Sounsyy repeatedly bludgeons the Party Member with the lowest numerical HP (either from damage or lowest Base HP if all Party Members are capped) with her shield. The number of hits increases per stack of Justification acquired in Phase 2.
End Cutscene: "What hope did we have... alone?" /death
