“The discovery of a crystal borne from the far reaches of the aetherial sea and the desperate plea contained within lead you once more to Elpis, where your trajectory quite literally collides with that of a young man named Themis. Like you, he is here for answers, seeking the source of an aetheric disturbance culminating in loss of contact with the gaol housing the ancients' most dangerous creations. It is this place─this Pandæmonium─into which you now descend...
— In-game description
Asphodelos: The First Circle is a level 90 raid introduced in patch 6.01 with Endwalker.
Phases & Abilities
Warder of the Condemned: Erichthonios
Erichthonios uses a series of powerful attacks that strike half the arena. Move around him to dodge nearly all of his damage.
Gaeoler's Flail
Erichthonios spins his flail in either his left or right hand, and when the cast completes hits the entire left or right side of the arena. Move to the side that he isn't spinning his flail on to dodge this attack.
As the fight continues, Erichthonios begins using this attack during other attacks, without a cast bar indicator. Watch for his flail while dodging Intemperate Torrent and Aetherflail.
Pitiless Flail
Erichthonios targets a random character with an undodgeable line AoE. On hit, pushes. The targeted player needs to get close to Erichthonios so they're not pushed out of the arena, while other players should avoid the attack entirely.
Heavy Hand
Tankbuster.
Warden's wrath
A slow cast that deals heavy raidwide damage.
Intemperance
Gives every raid member the debuff "Overwhelmed by Fire" or "Overwhelmed by Cold". The arena is broken into quarters, each with three crystals floating above it.
Intemperate Torrent
Erichthonios will cast this spell three times. Each time, the crystal at the bottom of each stack will explode, dealing fire damage if it is red or cold damage if it is blue. If you are overwhelmed by the element you are struck with, you will take extra damage, so players with the red debuff want to be hit by the blue attack, and vice versa. If you are on the purple cross between the zones, you will take heavy damage.
After the first Intemperance phase, Erichthonios will begin charging up Gaeoler's Flail strikes that hit after the elemental explosions. Watch his hands and move to the side of the boss that is safe.
Shining Cells
This attack slightly shrinks the play field. Chains will divide the arena into red and blue wedges, and deals unavoidable raidwide damage.
Aetherchain
Colored orbs will circle Erichthonios. When the cast completes, all squares that match the color of his orbs will explode.
Aetherflail
After the first two casts of Aetherchain, Erichthonios will begin casting Gaeoler's Jail during Aetherchain. This attack will strike the half of the arena he's whirling his chain on and all squares that match the color of his orbs.
Slam Shut
Ends the Shining Cells phase, dealing unavoidable raidwide damage.
