Walkthrough

You will need to complete the final cutscene for CoP 8-4 in Lufaise Meadows at Blueblade Fell to be able to flag this quest.

• Go to Ru'Lude Gardens, enter the Ducal Palace for a cutscene with Esha'ntarl.
• Go to Riverne - Site #B01. You will receive a cutscene upon entering.
• Head to the green Unstable Displacement on the west side of (E-7). This acts as a battlefield entrance similar to the mini-battlefield in Ghelsba Outpost.
  • The island this Unstable Displacement is on is only accessible through another, "normal" Unstable Displacement; one Giant Scale will thus be required to reach it.
• Check the green Unstable Displacement once for a cutscene.
• Check it again and select the battle "Storms of Fate" when ready.

Boss Battle for "Storms of Fate"

You will enter the battlefield facing the Wyrmking Bahamut. Up to 18 people (one full Alliance) may enter the battlefield. This battle is uncapped. You are given 30 minutes to defeat him. HP/MP will be fully restored upon entry. There is still EXP loss in this Fight!!

Bahamut has about 26,000 HP. He casts the following spells:

• Defensive: Protect V, Shell V, Stoneskin, Phalanx, Cure V
  • He is fully buffed at the beginning of the fight.
• Offensive: Fire V, Flare II, Firaga IV, Silencega, Dispelga, Graviga

He uses the following special attacks:

• Absolute Terror: AoE Terror, absorbed by Utsusemi
• Trample: AoE damage (~200-500), Knockback and Bind, absorbed by Utsusemi
• Sweeping Flail: Large AoE (range 20) damage (~100-300) and Knockback, absorbed by Utsusemi
• Touchdown: AoE wind damage (~300) and Knockback
• Tempest Wing: Cone Attack wind(?) damage (~400)
• Megaflare: Wide Cone Attack fire damage (~800).
  • He uses this every 10% HP he loses.
  • He insults the players before he uses it: "Children of Vana'diel, what do you think to accomplish by fighting for your lives?"
  • Don't bother stunning this, he'll just use it again when Stun wears off.
  • Save your Stuns for his other spells, particularly Firaga IV and Dispelga.
  • Can use at will as a regular TP ability after 10% health.
• Gigaflare: Wide Cone Attack fire damage (~1,200)
  • Used instead of Megaflare at 10% HP.
  • He insults the players before he uses it: "Contemplate on the good your death will bring as your mortal form is consumed by my brilliance!"
  • It is faster than Megaflare and harder to stun.
  • Stun this as there is a chance he will not try after stun wears, and may use Megaflare instead.
  • Can use at will as a regular TP ability after 10% health.

Post-Battle

• When Bahamut is defeated, you will receive the Key Item Whisper of the Wyrmking.
• Return to Ru'Lude Gardens and enter the palace again for a final cutscene.
  • You must receive this cutscene prior to the Conquest week on which you flag Shadows of the Departed.
