Walkthrough

  • Have the party leader examine the Regal Pawprints in Beaucedine Glacier [S] at the southeast corner of (H-7), same elevation as tower at (G-9) just above the tower at (I-7), to enter the battlefield. Another way to put it - act like you're going to Batallia Downs or Fei'Yin and the point will be along the way.
    • Each party member must have an Umbra Bug to participate.
      • If you fail, you will have to get a new Umbra Bug from the Regal Pawprints at the southern Pso'Xja tower at (H-10). You may only obtain an Umbra Bug once per Vana'diel day.
      • Members that have already cleared the fight do not need a new Umbra Bug to enter.
    • Other party members do not need to be near the Regal Pawprints to be teleported.
  • After successful completion of the fight you will get a cutscene that starts The Will of the World.

Fight

  • Buffs are lost upon entry.
  • Experience is not lost upon death.
  • You have 30 minutes to complete this mission.
  • You will fight alongside Lilisette. She will move after a few minutes.
  • Your fight is against Cait Sith Ceithir. Cait Sith Ceithir will not attack until acted on.
    • Uses all standard Black Magic spells except Ancient Magic II, as well as some White Magic spells such as Paralyze. At least some, if not all, of these spells appear to be AoE even though they are regularly single-target.
    • Cait Sith Ceithir is susceptible to Slow II and very susceptible to Paralyze. Cast both in full MND build and no resists; Paralyze procs alot.
    • Uses move Regal Scratch, a single-target damage move.
    • Uses move Divine Favor, which appears to be full Erase and -na.
    • Uses move Mewing Lullaby that inflicts both sleep and reduces TP to 0 in AoE.
    • Uses move Eerie Eye, a Gaze attack which inflicts Amnesia and Silence.
      • This move takes only effct when you face the mob. If you face away from it, it has no effect.
    • Around 50% and below, uses move Level ? Holy, which is an AoE Holy attack with a range of about 20-25+ yalms. Damage depends on a dice roll (six-sided dice), dealing anywhere from 300 to 2000 damage. It is also possible for this move to have no effect whatsoever.
      • As the fight progresses, Cait Sith Ceithir will tend to use this move more frequently.
      • Note that Cait Sith Ceithir appears to be able to use this move back-to-back as well as Tier III -ga magic in between. It may be wise to pull away all melee attackers to recover.
  • Will summon Atomos to assist periodically, looks very similar to a Cavernous Maw.
    • Will only appear for a short time to use the following moves then disappear.
    • Uses move Soul Vacuum that inflicts AoE All Status Down. This move will hit everyone in the room. It is not stun able and the effect is not erase able.
      • When out of range of Level ? Holy my party was also unaffected by Soul Vacuum, which would indicate the same 20 yalms range (Maybe 20 yalms from Atomos but it did hit everyone I did it with.).
      • Did not get hit from Soul Vacuum at a distance of 22' yalms from Atomos.
      • Beware while Status Down is in effect. All stats (STR, VIT, DEX, etc) will be reduced by 50-60 points, leaving your tank as well as your healers extremely vulnerable to Cait Sith Ceithir's attacks.
        • Lilisette will take roughly twice as much damage from Cait Sith Ceithir's attacks and nukes while under this effect.
        • A player subbing WHM with a Light Staff can expect to see Cure III potency to drop from 210 HP healed to about 140.
        • Atomos will use Soul Vacuum a few seconds after it appears. Use this time to quickly top up Lilisette's HP, so you'll need fewer lower-efficiency cures during the stat down period.
    • Uses move Soul Infusion that bestows all drained stats to Cait Sith Ceithir.
  • After defeating Cait Sith Ceithir you will get a cutscene that starts The Will of the World.
