Dungeon quick facts
With the magitek field now out of commission, the path to the Ultima Weapon lies open. While the Immortal Flames sweep Castrum Meridianum and suppress the remnants of the enemy garrison, you and your comrades must fight your way to the innermost sector of the Praetorium, there to locate and destroy the Ultima Weapon. Cid's airship, the Enterprise, will bear you to the stage of the final confrontation.

Boss and mechanic notes

- Prototype Laser Beta: Circle AoEs will be placed on every player, requiring them to spread out.

- Spine Shatter: Tankbuster.
- Iron Uprising: A frontal cone AoE that knocks players back.
- Activate: Summons a Magitek Death Claw that tethers to one player and slowly moves towards them, knocking player back when it gets to them. The players not tethered should kill it.
