Overview
An attack by the primal Garuda has annihilated an entire Twin Adder brigade, with the sole survivor left to tell a tale writ in terror and misery. Garuda's powers are far greater than they should be; left with few options and all but one of them almost certain failures, the Order of the Twin Adder turns to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, so that they may summon a Warrior of Light.
Strategy Notes
- This is very similar to the other versions - however, when the Razor Plumes appear, make sure to kill the Satin Plume first. Otherwise, the Satin Plume will Sleep everyone. Any time Garuda disappears, random AoEs will spawn. These are Feather Rain, a spell learnable by Blue Mages. During this phase, each time Garuda disappears, she will reappear between two stone pillars and use Mistral Song. Avoid this by standing behind the stone pillars out of line of sight from Garuda.
- Garuda will spawn two adds, Chirada and Suparna. The off-tank should hold Chirada while the main tank should hold Suparna. Separate them and kill one at a time. Generally you will be killing Chirada first.
- At the end of this phase Garuda will teleport to the center and cast Reckoning. There's no dodging this, so stack up in the center. This will wipe if too many stones are destroyed.
- Garuda will destroy the pillars, and summon more Razor Plumes. This time they will have a Spiny Plume with them. Kill the Razor Plumes, but do not kill the Spiny Plume. The Spiny Plume will apply Thermal Low "The wind is high. Sustaining wind damage over time." to the tank at the top of its enmity list. Tanks must swap enmity on the spiny plume at 2 stacks. At 3 stacks of Thermal Low the party will wipe.
- When Garuda vanishes, kill the Spiny Plume. This will create a shield that will protect you from wiping when Garuda reappears. Dodge the Spiny Plume's AoE when it dies and hide under its shield.
- Garuda will summon a Spiny Plume, Chirada and Suparna, and a large number of green whirlwinds.
