The Tower of Babil dungeon guide

Dungeon quick facts

From the ruins of the Garlean imperial palace rises the Tower of Babil, a monstrous edifice constructed by Fandaniel and Zenos's enthralled hordes. While its exact purpose has yet to be ascertained, it is here that the would-be orchestrators of the Final Days await the Warrior of Light, who now spearheads a daring mission to infiltrate the tower and vanquish the Telophoroi once and for all.

Boss and mechanic notes

The Tower of Babil has local boss notes for: Barnabas, Lugae, Eikon of Eikons: Anima. These notes are pulled from the local wiki and should be treated as source-backed prep unless separately marked as human-reviewed strategy.

• Ground and Pound: Line AoE with a delayed marking that targets a random player
• Dynamic Pound: The boss moves to the north edge of the arena and a line AoE appears across the stage. It will pulse with a Polarity, while players are assigned a Polarity of their own. Players with the same Polarity as the AoE's Polarity will be pushed back, and players with a Polarity that is opposite the AoE's Polarity will be pulled in. Therefore if their polarity is the opposite of the one on the AoE they must move away to the edge of the arena (so they'll be pulled in to a safe spot). If they are the same Polarity, they must move to the edge of the AoE (so they'll be pushed into a safe spot). When the cast finishes, players will be stunned in place and pushed/pulled towards the AoE in accordance with their polarity. Failing this could also knock players into the ring at the edge of the arena.
• Shocking Force: A random player receives a stack marker, requiring all players to stack in one place to mitigate damage.
• Dynamic Scrapline: Both the players and the boss receive a Polarity and are tethered together. The boss also calls a point-blank AoE. The mechanics are the same as Dynamic Pound: same-Polarity will cause a knockback, opposite-Polarity will cause a pulled-in effect. Failing this mechanic deals heavy damage and considerable knockback.
• Thundercall: The boss summons three lightning orbs around the arena and drops a point-blank AoE. Players must stand in the safe spaces away from the boss and between the orbs when they go off, or will take heavy damage and knockback.
• Thermal Suppression: Unavoidable roomwide AoE. Mitigate and heal through.
• Magitek Missle: Two random players are targeted for AoEs. Move out of the way to avoid.
• Magitek Ray: The boss fires a line AoE in the direction of a random player.
• Magitek Chakram: Summons Chakrams on the arena's perimeter. Players need to step on the Purple Plate to debuff themselves with Minimum so the attack misses them.
• Downpour: The arena fills with water and players are debuffed with Heavy and a stack of Breathless every second. After eight stacks, the player is automatically defeated. Stepping on the Green Plate will debuff players with Toad to remove the stacking debuff and resist further stacks.
• Magitek Explosion: Three large bombs will drop on the arena after the cast. After a short while they will explode in untelegraphed cross-line AoEs that extend across the arena. Players will need to determine the safe zone to stand in before they explode.
• Lunar Nail: Nails will drop onto the edge of the arena and the center. The nails will tether to one another, and any of the quadrants of the arena that have tethers on all four sides will be filled by an AoE. Players must move to the safe quadrants of the arena to avoid.
• Phantom Pain: Cast to execute the AoE from Lunar Nail.
• Mega Graviton: Unavoidable room-wide AoE. This will summon a Mega-Graviton in each corner of the room.

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.
