Overview
One of four watchtowers built along the Sea of Clouds by the city-state of Ishgard, the Stone Vigil was overrun and occupied by the Dravanian Horde not long after the Calamity. The following years have seen the knights of House Durendaire make several attempts at reclaiming the fortress, but to no avail. What could it be that thwarts their every effort?

Boss Notes
- Chudo-Yudo is the first boss of the dungeon. He has powerful frontal breath attacks that all players besides the tank should avoid. One strategy is to only have the tank stand in front of Chudo-Yudo, rest of the party members stand behind the dragon at all times. By staying out of his breath attacks, the fight should be fairly easy.
- Abilities
- :Rake is an instant melee attack that deals a small amount of damage.
- :Lion's Breath is a casted breath attack that deals a moderate amount of damage and inflicts Burns on all targets hit.
- :Swinge is a frontal AoE cone attack that deals a moderate amount of damage and inflicts the debuffs Silence and Pacification for 5 seconds on all targets hit.
- Koshchei is the 2nd dragon boss of The Stone Vigil. This fight was updated in patch 6.1, modifying the arena shape and appearance as well as making mechanics more consistent with the conventions that have developed in the game since this dungeon's initial release. Typhoon is the main mechanic of this fight; it requires players to reposition into safe zones to avoid tornadoes that move in straight lines down the length of the arena dealing moderate damage to any players caught in their path. They move fairly slowly and staying out of their way is fairly simple.
- Abilities
- :Spiked Tail is this boss's tankbuster. All other party members should steer clear of the tank.
Boss Encounters
Chudo-Yudo
- All non-tanks stand behind the dragon at all times.
Koshchei
- Returning players should be aware that the updates to this fight are extensive and mostly have the effect of vastly simplifying the battle.
Isgebind
- Be sure to avoid glowy blue areas when they appear.
- One major change that returning players should be aware of is that the AoE from Sheets of Ice no longer persists as it did pre-6.1. Parties can be a bit more mobile than they once were as the space available for dodging Cauterize will no longer be affected by Sheets of Ice placement.
