Overview
Goddess of Light. Will of the star. Hydaelyn. From the far reaches of the aetherial sea has She ever called to you...and at last you meet face-to-face. Though the Scions would traverse the great expanse in search of Meteion to forestall the Final Days, you must first rise to meet Her challenge and prove yourselves equal to the task.
Strategy Notes
- This trial can be undertaken with other players or with a party of NPCs through Duty Support. If using Duty Support, you will begin the battle with two stacks of Willful. If you would be KO'd, instead a stack of Willful will be consumed to ignite the Will to Live, immobilizing you and protecting from most damage for several seconds. Note that touching the wall will reset the battle regardless of this buff.
- NOTE: The outer edge of the arena will instantly kill any player that touches it.
- Heroes's Radiance: Raid-wide AoE.
- Dawn Mantle: The boss will change her weapon and perform a mechanic corresponding to her weapon of choice:
- Mousa's Scorn: Tankbuster that must be shared by both tanks. Mitigate as needed.
- Magos's Radiance: Another raid-wide AoE.
Boss Encounters
Divine Light: Hydaelyn
- Dancer Chakrams ( Red icon): A large donut AoE, stand inside her hitbox to avoid
- White Mage Staff ( Green icon): A large circle AoE under her, move away to avoid this attack.
- Paladin Sword & Shield ( Blue icon): A plus shaped AoE that always goes in directions of cardinals, position yourself in an intercardinal position to avoid this attack. This attack hits the width of her hitbox in both directions, so stand out of melee range
- Unlike most normal-difficulty content, these telegraphs do not have any orange ground AoE markers, so players will need to pay attention to the boss's weapon or color to avoid these.
- Hydaelyn's Ray: A proximity ray attack (similar to Beautific Vision cast by Innocence (Extreme)). A bright orange line will appear across the center of the platform, pulsing outwards. Stand close to the arena's edge, far from the bright line, to take as little damage as possible from this attack.
- Crystalline Stone III: Stack.
- Crystalline Blizzard III: Spread with AoEs so they don't overlap.
- Exodus: Huge raid-wide AoE that signals the end of the phase. Mitigate as necessary.
