Raised from the waters by the thrice-mad Illuminati, the steel colossus Alexander yet towers over the Thaliak, bleeding the hinterlands dry with a thirst for aether that will not be slaked. The time has come for action. As Y'shtola and Master Matoya seek to magically sever the primal's death grip on the land, you will take to the skies with Cid in hopes of securing an ingress through the colossus's mighty pate. The realm itself cries out for succor—will you rise to answer its call?

Strategy

Video Guide
  • Platforms will fall into the lava. This is indicated by the heating rails and the arrow wall on the outside of the section to fall.
  • Off tank uses the power cores to animate the add husks if they aren't on a platform that will fall.
  • Off tank should tank adds on a platform that will fall so that they will fall in.
  • If adds have health when they fall in the lava, the boss is buffed.
  • If adds don't fall into the lava when the boss uses Stockpile, it will "repair" more of itself and do more damage.
  • You will get two platforms that fall when Faust is active. Move it one platform counter clockwise as that's the first to fall. If you can't kill it before the platform falls, move it to the next one. The second platform is the last chance to kill it before the boss uses Stockpile. If the platform falls and Faust touches the lava it will wipe the party.

  • The boss does three normal attacks on the main tank before a stronger attack or mechanic, so prepare a shield for the larger hit.
