Overview
Upon hearing of your final encounter with Yotsuyu -- and the primal to whom she surrendered her will -- the wandering minstrel composes a tanka tinged with sorrow. Had Yotsuyu been born in a different time, a different place, would she have lived a simple life unsullied by acts of violence and cruelty? Or were the seeds of villainy always there, their growth merely hastened by circumstance? These questions bring to mind Tsukuyomi's overwhelming malice, your memories now suffused by the tragedy of the minstrel's verse...
Strategy Notes
- Reprimand: A raid-wide AoE that deals medium damage.
- Nightfall: After the cast goes off, Tsukuyomi will pull out either her gun or her spear. Look at her model to see which weapon she is holding, listen for the audio cues, and/or read the pop-up text box. The first cast of Nightfall will be either a gun or a spear; the second cast will be whichever weapon was not used for the first cast (e.g. if the first cast is a gun, the second cast will be a spear).
- Nightbloom: This marks the transition to the adds phase, cast when Tsukuyomi is at 80% health. This raid-wide AoE stuns the party and deals heavy damage.
- Boss Rotation: Reprimand --> Nightfall (Gun/Spear) --> Nightfall (Spear/Gun) --> Reprimand --> Nightbloom (at 80%)
- There will be three sets of adds to deal with in this phase. Damage dealt to Yotsuyu by these adds will increase her Suffering gauge; letting the gauge hit 100 will lead to a wipe.
- Have a tank pick up all non-tethered adds: Specters of the Homeland and Specters of the Empire. All other party members should focus on the non-tankable adds tethered to Yotsuyu: Specter of the Patriarch, Specter of the Matriarch, Specter of Asahi, and Specter of Zenos. The third set of adds will start with the Specter of Zenos casting of Concentrativity, knocking the party back, inflicting a 10-second Down for the Count, and dealing mild raid-wide damage. He will also deal medium raid-wide damage every few seconds by casing Dispersivity, so deal with him quickly.
Boss Encounters
The Lady of the Moon: Tsukuyomi
- Detailed mechanics not available from the source page.
First Phase (100%-80%)
- If the weapon is a gun, she will say "Beg for mercy!" and use Lead of the Underworld. The party must stack together to soak the damage.
- If the weapon is a spear, she will say "Your end is near..." and use Steel of the Underworld three times in succession on three players, one from each role (tank, healer, DPS). The party must separate into three groups by role, as getting hit by more than one cleave will deal lethal damage. It is recommended to have both tanks stack up in front of the boss, then have the healers and DPS stack up on opposite sides behind her.
Adds Phase
- Detailed mechanics not available from the source page.
Second Phase (80%-35%)

- Perilune: Used exclusively when Tsukuyomi is under the effect of New Moon. Deals light raid-wide damage to all players with the "Veil of Light", but lethal damage to those without.
Third Phase (35%-0%)
