Paglth'an dungeon guide

Dungeon quick facts

Long have the sweeping plains of Paglth'an been home to the nomadic Amalj'aa. Though the herding of livestock keeps them constantly on the move, the permanent settlement of Zolm'ak forms the seat of power and center of their society. It is there the Telophoroi would wreak destruction, dispatching a vast host comprised of both imperial soldiers and tempered dragons, with Lunar Bahamut at its head. Yet even against these heretofore unimagined foes the Amalj'aa stand strong, with Estinien, the recently freed Tiamat, and the Eorzean Alliance at their side and eager to turn the tide.

Boss and mechanic notes

Paglth'an has local boss notes for: Amhuluk, Magitek Fortress, Telotherium: Lunar Bahamut. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.

• Critical Rip: Tankbuster.
• Lightning Bolt: Large targeted circle AoEs on all players with additional ones on random lampposts on the edge of the arena. Players must pass their AoE off to a lamppost that doesn't already have an AoE. Deals moderate damage and inflicts a stack of Lightning Vulnerability Up to players hit.
• Electric Burst: Unavoidable moderate party-wide damage.
• Thundercall: Summons several lightning orbs along the edge of the arena that occasionally pulse for damage. Precedes Lightning Bolt from the second cast onward.
• Wide Blaster: Wide cone from Amhuluk's front. Immediately followed by Spike Flail.
• Spike Flail: Narrow cone from Amhuluk's rear. Used immediately after Wide Blaster, with no time to avoid.
• The main target is the Magitek Core, guarded by a force field. To get to the Core, the party must defeat waves of adds.
• While fighting the adds, two of the three cannons on the fortress will charge up a blue energy and eventually blast a line ahead of it, dealing damage and inflicting a stack of Vulnerability Up.
• The first wave consists of three Tempered Imperials and two Telotek Predators. After a few moments, six more Tempered Imperials will emerge from the sides of the fortress.
• Magitek Claw: Used by Telotek Predators. The Predator jumps at its primary target, dealing moderate damage.
• 2-tonze Magitek Missile: Large circle AoE below a random player.
• Once the entirety of a wave has been defeated, the cannons will power down, the Amalj'aa on the outside of the arena will disable the force field, and a jump pad to the Core will appear.
• Defensive Reaction: High party-wide damage. Only cast when the Magitek Core is directly under attack, and is the core's only method of direct attack.
• After reaching 50% health, the Magitek Core will eject the party back into the arena and reactivate the force field, at which point the second wave of adds appears and new mechanics are added to the cannons.

Verification boundary

This page is generated from local TJPedia wiki data. It does not invent missing mechanics, NPC coordinates, loot tables, or current-party-finder strategies. High-end positioning and current-prog tactics still need human review before being labeled as a full strategy guide.

• Source-backed: duty facts, local boss notes, achievements, and music.
• Needs human review: exact high-end progression strategy.
• Use official patch notes for changed requirements or rewards.
