Overview
Marking the border between the Black Shroud and Gyr Abania, the legacy of Gaius van Baelsar is a towering monument to imperial tyranny. And now smoke rises from its iron crenellations. In a bid to drag the armies of Eorzea into the struggle for Ala Mhigan liberation, the Griffin and his Resistance fighters have disguised themselves in Grand Company uniforms and laid siege to Baelsar's Wall. While Alphinaud seeks to call your companions back from their now-meaningless mission of diplomacy, you must ascend the war-torn fortification by the swiftest route possible and persuade the Griffin-by force, if necessary-to abandon his reckless ambition.

Boss Notes
- Move away from others when marked with Magitek Missile. Prioritize killing the adds when they spawn.
- Take no actions or movement during Dynamic Sensory Jammer. Be ready with heals and AoE damage during Distress Beacon adds.
- When The Griffin casts Lionshead, kill the sword in the middle and stand in the now-vacant space. Be ready to chase boss to avoid the cleave from Sanguine Blade. Turn around during Flash Powder, and be ready to break party members out of restraints.
Boss Encounters
Magitek Predator
- Magitek Claw Targeted attack on Tank.
- Magitek Ray Linear high-damage attack.
- Magitek Missile Targeted high-damage explosion on marked players.
Armored Weapon
- Launcher Group-wide AoE that reduces HP by 50% of current.
- Dynamic Sensory Jammer Damages the player for any actions they take while the debuff is active, including movement.
- Magitek Bit Summoned Bits around room create a checkerboard AoE before disappearing.
- Distress Beacon Summons many low-HP adds. Tank damage is significant due to quantity of adds.
The Griffin
- Beak of the Griffin Room-wide AoE attack.
- Flash Powder Players should turn away from the boss; otherwise, this attack will stun the player and reduce accuracy.
- Sanguine Blade Leaps to one side of the room and cleaves the room in front of him for high damage.
- Lionshead Multiple swords rain down around the arena, damaging to nearby players. After finishing the cast, the boss does a room-wide AoE, and the swords become targetable. Those will channel Corruption. Unkilled swords eventually explode, but these explosions can be avoided. Players should focus on the massive sword in the middle, which does a high-damage room -wide explosion if it is not destroyed.
- Big Foot Marks a player and pushes them back after the cast.
- Restraint Collar Places the party's healer in restraints, preventing all action. Kill restraints to release the healer.
- Claw of the Griffin High-damage attack on tank.
