Boss and mechanic notes

Final Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4 has local boss notes for: Bahamut Prime, Phase 1: 100%-76%, Phase 2: 76%-52%, Phase 3: Adds, Phase 4: 52%-0%. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.

• Detailed mechanics not available from the source page.
• Flare Breath: A large frontal cleave on the primary target. Be sure to turn the boss away from the party for this. This attack is usually paired with other attacks.
• Megaflare: 3-4 players are marked with ground AoEs. 3-4 other players will be hit with a splash damage AoE, and 2-4 players are marked for a beam that must be split by other marked players to mitigate the damage. Players with a marker should stack at the predetermined location. The boss will follow this with a Flare Breath.
• Stack markers prioritize healers and DPS, however, if one or two are dead, a tank (potentially even the main tank) may get marked.
• Flatten: A heavy damage tankbuster. Requires mitigation to survive. Followed by three casts of Flare Breath so immediate heals afterwards or invulnerability are needed.
• Due to the length of this fight, tanks can use their invulnerability to soak Flatten and have it recharged by the time Phase 4 starts.
• Earth Shaker: Two players are marked with glowing brown arrows. After a short delay, the marked players will have repeated line AoE fired at them that hits anything between them. Bahamut will fire three times, each explosion dropping a puddle where the marked were standing. These puddles hurt to stand inside and inflict Heavy.
• The two marked players should immediately split to the left and right side of the boss to the edge of the arena, moving after each explosion to avoid the puddle. The rest of the DPS and Healers should huddle directly behind Bahamut to avoid the AoEs going out towards the sides. Healers may want to assign which of the two sides of Earth Shaker they want to heal prior.
• Shadow of Meracydia: Spawns after every Gigaflare or Rage of Bahamut. The first always spawns in the north side of the arena. If it gets too close to the boss, they will link and begin buffing each other. These adds should be killed immediately. Will also cast a line of AoE fire puddles if left alive too long.
• If the boss was pulled to the south, the off tank can grab the first Shadow and keep it in the north. The other Shadows will also spawn away from the boss, minimizing the chances of them tethering together.
• Flare Star: Orbs will periodically spawn throughout the phase. Orbs tether to random players, moving slowly at first before speeding towards their target. If a player is hit by an orb, they will take minor damage and receive a stack of the debuff Suffocated Will. This debuff should be spread equally across the party with a maximum of 2 stacks per person. These orbs explode in a small AoE which will apply the debuff to all hit; players must ensure no one else is nearby when popping one. This debuff will deal more damage when applied based on how many stacks a player already has. Non-tank players should not receive more than 2 stacks; the damage will be lethal after that.
• Player should communicate or be active in taking orbs if they are certain they themselves have less than 2 stacks. If a player is positioned nearby to take someone else's orb, the rest should move away to ensure the splash damage does not duplicate the debuff.
• Flatten: Has a heavier initial hit now, but only follows up with a single Flare Breath.
• Megaflare: Functions almost identically, except that a tower will appear under a random player after the AoEs explode. If this tower is not stood in quickly to soak the damage, it will wipe the raid.
