Dungeon quick facts
The seas around the Isles of Umbra are rife with hidden reefs and rocks, and many a hapless ship has met its demise beneath her surging waves. Recognizing the need to provide vessels with safe passage through these treacherous waters, the Admiral of Limsa Lominsa ordered the construction of a great lighthouse. So it was that Pharos Sirius came into being, shortly before dusk fell upon the Sixth Astral Era. For a time, Pharos Sirius served seafarers faithfully, the radiance of its aether-fueled lantern piercing the blackest night. Alas, its light was prematurely extinguished by the Calamity, the destruction wrought by Bahamut leaving vast parts of the structure in ruin. Corrupted crystals...

Boss and mechanic notes
Pharos Sirius has local boss notes for: Symond the Unsinkable, Zu, Tyrant, Siren. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.
- Corrupting Shot: straight line AoE from the boss's position.
- Crystalline Shot: makes either 1 or 2 large circular puddles on the ground. The puddle(s) will expand 2 times, and touching them will give a Corrupting Crystal stack. If there's one puddle, stay around the edges of the arena. If there are two, then try to split the party across the two safe zones, to minimize splash damage from Corrupting Crystal explosions.
- Giga Slash: Large AoE that knocks players back (but does not apply a stack of Corrupting Crystal).
- Alternatively, do not kill any eggs and just kill the chicks after they spawn.
- Detailed mechanics not available from the source page.
- Deathly Verse: inflicts a player with Siren Song. Healers have 12 seconds to heal them to full HP, or they will become confused and attack fellow party members for 8 seconds.
- Song of Torment: Applies a Bleeding debuff to the tank. This debuff can be removed with Esuna. This cast can also be interrupted if one reacts quickly, but it's better to conserve interrupts for the boss's other moves.
- Deathly Cadenza: Large donut AoE at the center of the room. Anyone hit by this will get the Siren Song debuff. Stay in the center of the arena (the circle of metal grates) to avoid it, or interrupt the cast.
- Feral Lunge: Straight line AoE that goes through the center of the arena.
- Lunatic Voice: Applies Reduced Immunity, which reduces healing received, to all players. The cast can be interrupted, and the debuff can be removed with Esuna.
