Something about him fighting the borders of Limsa but in WoL's time, being too smart to fall for that trick again.
If I remember correctly it was the Company of Heroes luring him into a cove or something so they could fight him that he wouldn't fall for again. The Mistbeard thing was him tying two boats together to haul in his plunder and we borrowed that idea to haul a bunch of corrupted crystals into the ocean to fight him.

But really this was the reason I commented because in Stormblood...
Contrast this to after we beat Ifrit where I'm pretty sure an NPC tell us that all the people who got tempered will have to be put down because there's no cure for it. There's also the little Kobold in 3.4 who was suspected to be irreversibly tempered when he didn't talk.
There really might be some inconsistency but I can't be sure.
