Boss and mechanic notes
The Ghimlyt Dark has local boss notes for: Mark III-B Magitek Colossus, Prometheus, Annia quo Soranus and Julia quo Soranus. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.
- Jarring Blow: Tankbuster that hits a wide arc in front of the boss.
- Ceruleum Vent: Moderate damage on the entire party.
- Magitek Ray: Stack marker on one player.
- Exhaust: Line attack in the direction of a random player.
- Wild Fire Beam: A targeted AoE on each player, spread to avoid overlapping damage.
- Magitek Slash: The Colossus slams its sword down, dealing damage in a cone area and leaving behind a fiery puddle that inflicts Burns while standing in it. The Colossus will rotate and slam down repeatedly until it has covered the entire arena. The first puddle will dissipate as the Colossus turns to make the final strike.
- Nitrospin: Moderate damage on the entire party. Prometheus always casts this ability first, surrounding the arena in fire.
- Unbreakable Cermet Drill: Tankbuster.
- Needle Gun: 90 degree Cone directly in front of the boss.
- Oil Shower: 270 degree Cone directly behind the boss, hitting everywhere Needle Gun doesn't.
- After a few attacks, Prometheus will burrow underground and a section of the wall surrounding the arena will glow red. After a delay, a fiery blast will launch from the red area to the opposite wall, dealing damage. The attack lingers, continuing to deal damage for a few seconds. The second time Prometheus uses this attack, it will first cast Freezing Missile.
- Freezing Missile: Four proximity AoEs that hit at each cardinal direction.
- Delta Trance: Annia's tankbuster.
- Innocence: Julia's tankbuster.
