FFXIV Endwalker: Anabaseios: Twelfth Circle Tutorial
Anabaseios: The Twelfth Circle is the third and final eight-player finale, popular raid content released with patch 6.4 Final Fantasy XIV: Doom Walker. Complete Anabaseios: Available at level 90 after the eleventh round and unlocked through the quest A Mother’s Touch. It can be done through Duty Finder with a minimum ilv of 615 and rewards each device type with Annabaseios Unsung Tokens, transferable to Djole at (x:10.3, y:9.7) in Meghaduta, Radz-at- Han. Mylenie at (x:8.4, y:27.7) in Aporia, Labyrinthos will also exchange Anabaseios Unsung tokens for the device.
For the sake of your other players, keep in mind that this is new (at launch) content. A little friendly explanation can go a long way. Likewise, don’t be afraid to take advice. You may learn something that you don’t know.
Athens
state 1
- On the Soul – Massive damage is unavoidable.
- Holy Trinity – Watch Athena’s Wings. A sequence of three (you’ll probably have six) will light up in sequence, indicating which side of her the spell will hit. Move from side to side in order of her shining wings to avoid explosions. Note that these explosions are based on her location, so if she’s not in the middle, so is the explosion. Note her center line.
- Paradeigma – She will summon four crystal works: two red, two yellow. The red ones turn into smaller copies that shoot lasers along the length of the base. The yellow ones, in clone form, will each tie to a random player and shoot lasers in their direction, so try to avoid other players.
- Holy Trinity
- about soul
- Glaukopis – Tank buster, slashes straight from boss to tank.
- Super String Theory – Clusters of strings will appear when some shape is associated with them. The shapes will slowly move towards the cluster, becoming AoE as they arrive. The spheres will be vertical, and the donuts will be… donuts! Moved to Donut Haven.
- Super Chain Theory – This time there are two donuts, but one has a longer chain than the other. The shorter string will run out first, so move there first, then move on to the second after the first one runs out.
- Parthenos – Wide linear AoE targeting a random player. Being hit by it deals damage, applies a vulnerable stack, And will repel the player. That platform edge looks open, doesn’t it…
- about soul
- Unnatural Enchainment – The three platforms will be connected to the boss with pink pulse magic on the surface. They are about to fall out, so stay away from them!
- Paradeigma – This is further complicated by the lack of layers.
- Unnatural Binding – Say goodbye to the other three decks.
- Trinity of Souls – There are only two floors to move, the more important thing for the main tank is to focus on the boss.
- On Soul – Returns the entire floor along with the damage.
Phase 2
Athena summons four human clones to the arena and retreats before casting spells:
- Palladion – Each player will mark a circular AoE in order. Avoid your teammates, because when AoE settles, Athena will be in the fight long enough to wipe out you and anyone in your circle.
Meanwhile, each clone will cast semi-random magic:
- Ray of Light – A fairly complex linear AoE against random players.
- Clear Cut – A small 3/4 cut centered in front of them.
And, of course, we have boss rules. Kill all clones before Athena reaches 100% strength. When copies are sent, Athena knocks the four squares in the middle with a single attack. After she releases the energy stored in the meter, you may all want to gather in the top or bottom group of the remaining tiles for healing.
third stage
- Super Chain Theory – Notice where the donut is, but don’t go there. Athena will turn the next mechanic into a random player, who you can lure to a safe donut.
- Parthenos – wait for it to appear before moving on to donuts Super Chain Theory. If it points to a donut, you have to wait until it turns off.
- Holy Trinity
- Dialog – Party stack, then propaganda mechanism.
- Stork
- Model + super chain theory
- Unnatural Enchainment – Five tiles will drop.
- Parthenos
- about soul
- Model + Dialogue
- Stork
- about soul
The third stage repeats until failure.
