“You have conquered Chaos, a primal force of deific power. Omega, frustrated in its attempts to process the results of your improbable victory, has decided to conduct a supplemental stage of testing. Drawing on the incomplete data of a foe who once stood firm against Omega itself, the machine generates a new simulacrum for you to face: the legendary Midgardsormr, Father of Dragons.
— In-game description
Alphascape V2.0 is a level 70 raid introduced in patch 4.4 with Stormblood.
Strategy
Initial Phase
- Throughout the fight, Midgardsormr will draw in aether by spinning in a circle. After he gathers aether twice, an attack will launch based on how Midgardsormr spun and in which order. The two types of spins he can do are a horizontal spin and a vertical spin. Getting hit by any of these attacks deals high damage and inflicts Vulnerability Up.
- Horizontal + Horizontal: Melee-range AoE that extends slightly beyond Midgardsormr's hitbox.
- Horizontal + Vertical: Ring AoE that only leaves a save spot inside Midgardsormr's hitbox.
- Vertical + Vertical: Cross-shaped AoEs that hits a line in the direction Midgardsormr is facing and a second line perpendicular to the first.
- Earth Shaker: Four DPS players will be marked, and after a short delay, four shockwaves will hit in a line from Midgardsormr's center to each of the marked players. Stacking will likely result in death.
- Akh Morn: Stack marker on one player that hits multiple times with a short delay between each hit.
- Thunderstorm: Four players are marked with purple AoEs, and after a short while each marked player will be struck with lightning. After this attack, ground AoEs will appear under another four random players that will also be struck with lightning after a delay.
- Icestorm: Two players are marked with a icy blue AoEs that drop an ice puddle on the ground where they are standing. The puddles inflict Frostbite while standing in them and slowly grow over time.
- Cauterize: Midgardsormr leaves and appears somewhere on the edge of the arena. After a short delay, he will quickly fly across and deal damage in that half of the arena.
- Scarlet Thread: Several fireballs appear on the edge of the arena that all unleash line attacks in a checkerboard pattern. Getting hit by an attack deals moderate damage and inflicts a stack of Suppuration.
Add Phase
Midgardsormr leaves and begins building up a Midgardsormr's Aether gauge. During this time, an Ancient Dragon and eight Immortal Keys will spawn. The keys will tether to the dragon and render it Invulnerable until they are all destroyed.
- Frost Breath: Cone attack centered on the dragon's primary target.
- Rime Wreath: Arena-wide damage.
Once the adds are all dead, or Midgardsormr's Aether reaches 100, Midgardsormr will cast Protostar, dealing high damage three times in a row. If his Aether was allowed to reach 100, the attack wipes the party.
Final Phase
After Protostar, Midgardsormr will return to the arena for the final phase of the fight.
- Tail End: Tankbuster.
- Exaflare: Several staggered arrow AoEs will appear randomly on one edge of the arena, exploding for high damage and gradually moving across the arena. Exaflares can only spawn once per "column" of the arena, so getting behind the first one to spawn will prevent damage from the rest. Midgardsormr will sometimes couple this attack with Cauterize.
- Northern Cross: Moderate arena-wide damage and coats the arena in Thin Ice, causing players who attempt to walk to uncontrollably slide in the direction they intended to move.
- Akh Rhai: Energy will erupt from beneath two random players and deal moderate damage several times before dissipating. The targeted players will need to move out of the attack after the first unavoidable hit.

Dialogue
Midgardsormr: I am Midgardsormr. Father of dragons, and paragon of wyrms!
Midgardsormr: My coils will confound your mortal eyes...
Midgardsormr: 'Tis the fate of all dragons to shed one form for another. Even in battle are mine assaults ever-changing!
Midgardsormr: Overlong doth this clash endure. Let us not allow the dance to grow stale!
Midgardsormr: Come forth, my child! Feast upon the flesh of impudent mortals!
Midgardsormr: From the heart of the eldest star doth weep the light of oblivion!
