“From the first note of the minstrel's melody, you recall the scene with crystal clarity─your allies and Hydaelyn, hope against hope. Overcome once again with the emotion of that day, no epithet seems too grand, no verse too epic...
— In-game description
The Minstrel's Ballad: Hydaelyn's Call is a level 90 trial introduced in patch 6.0 with Endwalker.
Guide
Hydaelyn
=== First Phase ===
Heroes's Radiance: Raid-wide AoE.
Shining Saber: Stack up to spread damage.
Crystallize: Will use one of 3-attacks followed by a weapon change.
- Water - stack in groups.
- Rock - stack in the middle.
- Ice - spread.
Weapon Change
- Dancer Chakrams (Red icon): A large donut AoE, stand close to her to avoid this attack.
- Dragoon Lance (Green icon): A large circle AoE under her, move away to avoid this attack.
- Paladin Sword & Shield (Blue icon): A plus shaped AoE that always goes in directions of cardinals, position yourself in an intercardinal position to avoid this attack.
Magos's Radiance: Raid wide attack.
Aureole: Wide AOE attack where you're only safe on the East and West.
Lateral Aureole: Wide AOE attack where you're only safe on the North and South.
Mousa's Scorn: Shared Tank Buster
=== Crystal Phase ===
Crystal adds
- Hydaelyn summons 6 crystals.
- DPS should prioritize glowing crystals.
Echo of Hydaelyn adds
- Two Echo of Hydaelyn spawn that each tank should pick up.
- They can be empowered by the crystals (a tether will go between the add and the crystal if empowered) so tanks should drag them away.
- Keeping the add and crystal tethered casues Conviction the Conviction Meter to increase.
- Once a crystal dies tanks can drag the adds to the dead crystals to minimize conviction meter.
Conviction
- Hydaelyn casts this after the adds are dead.
- Strength is influenced by the Conviction Meter.
- Mitigate
=== Wave + Crystal Phase ===
Halo: Raid-wide AoE.
Lightwave:
- Spawns Crystals and Waves.
- When Waves collide with Crystals it will cause a Raide-wide AoE.
- Mitigate Wave-Crystal collisions by hiding behind another crystal.
Infralateral Arc: Boss cleaves toward each crystal. Split up and share the dmamage.
=== Phase ===
Resumes using mechanics from the first phase, but with a few additional ones:
Heroes's Glory: Cleave in front of the boss.
Heros's Sundering: Tankbuster in the shape of a cone.
Parhelion: Shoots out three sets of dancer chakrams in three directions that drop line AoEs from Hydaelyn, these will explode in the order they spawn.
Subparhelion: The same chakrams placed by the Parhelion mechanic will shoot out another set of AoEs from them covering the entire arena. Keep an eye on where the first AoEs spawn as you will have to move into these as soon as they pop to avoid the other two sets of AoEs.
Parhelic Circle: Spawns a green snowflake-shaped symbol on the ground which will in turn spawn AoEs in the middle and at the tip of the lines. Avoid standing in the middle of this symbol or position yourself on the smaller lines so you dodge the circle AoEs.
=== Wave Phase ===
Boss will summon series of 4 Waves that players need to dodge.
Echoes: A stack marker that hits multiple hits, stay stacked until the mechanic is done.
Afterwards she will place stack markers on the party, spread to avoid damage.
