Overview
In the moons following the Calamity, myriad rumors of ghastly creatures stalking the Twelveswood began spreading across the realm like wildfire. While most of the rumors have since been deemed unfounded, there is one series of events that has remained difficult to cast off as merely the ravings of broken-minded smallfolk: that concerning the supposed Dark Rider of the Shroud. After several deaths attributed to this mysterious figure, Seedseer O-App-Pesi sought communion with the spirits of the Twelveswood, only to learn that the rider was none other than the elder primal Odin. Slain in the Third Astral Era by an Allagan hero, why and how the primal has returned to Eorzea remains a mystery─one now in the capable hands of Eorzea's adventurers.
Strategy Notes
- Hall of Sorrow: Raid-wide magical damage. Used periodically.
- Hall of Lead: Targets 3 random party members (never the main tank) with a medium circle AoE, dealing magical damage and inflicting a cleanseable 10s Slow on all affected targets.
- Hall of Stone: Targets random party members with an avoidable circle AoE, leaving ~2s to run out. Deals damage and inflicts an uncleanseable 8s Petrification on anyone that gets struck. The initial cast targets three party members, the second targets four, and later casts will target five. A second set of circles can also appear immediately after the first. Players should assume clock positions around the edge of the arena and rotate in a consistent direction to ensure both sets of AoEs don't overlap.
- Einherjar: Raid-wide magical damage with a 3s cast time. Inflicts a cleanseable 30s Bleeding on the party. First Einherjar is followed by Gungnir immediately after. Second Einherjar has no Gungnir near. Third Einherjar happens after the second Gungnir's gone down and after Odin uses Sanngetal.
- Valknut: Telegraphed, medium-sized circle AoE around Odin. Anyone struck will take damage equal to 60% of their max HP. Used periodically, but guaranteed after each Gungnir.
- Sanngetall: Tankbuster with a 3s cast time. Should be mitigated, as it happens once 30 seconds; the off-tank can also Provoke right after it hits (followed by the former main-tank using Shirk on the player who just Provoked, aka a tank swap).
