The main mechanics of the Ktisis Hyperboreia dungeon in Final Fantasy 14
In the dungeon, you will meet with three bosses, which must be destroyed along with the guards for a successful passage.
Lyssa
A weak boss that summons helpers that attack everyone with an auto attack. A good tank will fix them on itself, and the attacking characters will kill them with mass attacks.
Frostbite and Seek - The boss will periodically disappear from view. You need to keep track of the tracks that will appear in the places where the boss moves in invisibility. At the very last point, Lyssa will come out of invisibility and deal linear damage in a straight line.
Icicall - creates icicles that will fall on the heads of players and deal linear AoE damage to them - avoid them and maneuver.
Ladon Lord
Likewise, summons monsters, the boss and helpers, rarely break out of the tank and must be quickly destroyed by attacking characters.
Inhale - a skill that will highlight one of the three heads of the boss. Depending on which head receives the glow, a strong AoE cone damage will be dealt in that direction.
Pyric Breath - Avoid direct damage from all boss heads.
Dodge the balls with their AoE damage, which will periodically appear in the battle zone.
Hermes
The mobs that Hermes summons will not cause much damage to the tank and will be quickly killed by the attacking characters. It is important for you to keep an eye on the AoE damage to the boss.
Hermetical - the boss summons spheres and sends them throughout the battle area. They will fly in different trajectories, and you just need to dodge them so as not to take heavy damage.
Flying spheres will periodically appear on the map, you need to dodge them, otherwise you will receive heavy damage and be thrown back.
Double - The boss will use the AoE damage call twice in a row.
Recommendations for passing the dungeon Ktisis Hyperboreia
The tank should keep each boss in the center of the map so that in any situation the players do not fly off the edge of the map, or vice versa take all kinds of damage, because the boss is put in a corner.
Cone damage is very dangerous for a tank, because it is often he who is on the trajectory of the skill. The healer should always be ready to apply a quick heal, and the tank itself should have a strong healing potion, just in case.
The tank should keep Hermes as close to the meteor as possible so that other players can clearly see the approach of the spheres from the portals and have time to react.
The healer should periodically heal all the raid members with the help of mass healing. This tactic will help you prepare in advance for periodic damage from bosses, and help in case several members of the group take damage at the same time and are close to death.
The healer should stay away from the main players, but be within range of the tank, ranged and melee attacking characters without unnecessary movement, but not in danger from AoE and direct attacks.
Attacking characters must constantly use all the AoE damage they have to destroy the monsters that the boss summons. This will help take the load off the tank and the healer and speed up the dungeon, because the AoE will also deal damage to the boss, albeit reduced.
Also, all raid members should monitor their own health and defense levels themselves, in addition to blaming this on the shoulders of the healer. Drink potions, avoid AoE damage, and use your own skills to increase defense and dodge enemy attacks.
By defeating the bosses in the dungeon, you can get parts of the Ktiseos set for each class with a power level of 542.
