While rare, the dragon Tarasque will occasionally descend from the Churning Mists to foul the weak minds of heretics seeking truth in the words of the enemy. This opportunity to slay the master manipulator cannot be allowed to slip through our fingers.

Additional Information

It is highly recommended to have a full party (at least) to do this FATE due to the boss's HP.

Tarasque periodically performs Dragon Stomp, a huge AoE. This is actually a proximity attack, meaning it will deal less damage to players that are further away when it goes off. For players standing within melee range, the damage can be lethal - so it's recommended to run to the edges of the arena to mitigate the damage.

Tarasque is also vulnerable to Stun icon1.png Stun, and stunning will cancel the move - but the boss will often use it again right after. It may be possible to unsync right before the stomp hits, or have an unsynced shield healer shielding others before it goes off. If a Blue Mage frame icon.png Blue Mage with Perpetual Ray.png  Perpetual Ray is present, then it is possible to keep Tarasque in an endless stun loop as it attempts to recast the spell.

Trivia

Tarasque is a dragon in French mythology.

Notes

It isn't vulnerable to Doom Doom or Missile.png  Missile.
