— In-game description

A Beast Unleashed is a Critical Encounter in The Occult Crescent: North Horn.

Rewards

Guide

Atlas Carbuncle is weak to Ice ice-aspected phantom job actions.

This CE has similar mechanics to Abyssos: The Fifth Circle.

The arena is surrounded by an AoE that will instantly kill anyone who touches it. The arena is also a 4x4 grid of tiles, which is important for some mechanics.

Name Description
Sonic Howl Magical raid-wide damage.
Topaz Stones Spawns several untargetable Topaz Stones on various locations. Each stone will do a small, telegraphed point-blank AoE. It will then spawn another set of stones, which can either be on the middle of tiles or near the borders between tiles.
Ruby Glow Magical raid-wide damage and spawns two Ruby Stones that will partition the arena into four equal quadrants.
Reflective Coat Reflective barriers (that players can pass through) will spawn on the lines where the Ruby Stones moved. Each Topaz Stone will use a late-telegraphed small circle AoE. Stones that contact a barrier will cause their entire quadrant to be hit, leaving two opposite quadrants safe.
Claw to Tail or Tail to Claw One of two similar attacks each consisting of two untelegraphed 180 degree cleaves.

Claw to Tail: A frontal cleave then a rear cleave.

Tail to Claw: A rear cleave then a frontal cleave.

Topaz Stones + Spinebreaking Stampede The boss will summon more Topaz Stones, then jump to one cardinal at the wall and display a bi-directional line knockback telegraph. It will then display a radial knockback telegraph on an adjacent wall, then execute the knockbacks in sequence. The knockbacks can also be prevented with immunities. After the second knockback, all of the stones will explode as small telegraphed AoEs.
Topaz Stones + Ruby Glow + Reflective Coat Similar to before, but the arena will now be partitioned into four equally-sized L-shaped sections. Only one section will be safe (i.e. not have a Topaz Stone touching the barrier).
