— In-game description

Basic Instinct is an action unlocked at level 1. It is available for Blue Mage.

Flavor Text

A behavior learned from certain species of coeurl, the caster rises to the challenge of losing comrades by tapping into a feral survival instinct. When all seems lost, or when simply treading where a lone mage was not meant to tread, unrestrained ferocity is sometimes the only way to win through

Acquisition

Open World

• Master Couerl from Upper La Noscea (x8.9, y21.4)

Duties

• Coeurl Smriti (First Boss) from Temple of the Fist (Casts if both Coeurls don't die together)

Tips

Acquisition Tips

• Master Couerl uses this immediately. Wait for it to finish casting before slaying it. May take a few tries.

Other Tips

• If you are a very high level, cast a debuff spell such as Addle to deal no damage but grab its attention so it can begin casting.
