Spawning
Calamity Bound is spawned by killing level 20 Inkstains in the southwestern portion of the zone (13, 34). If this CE does not spawn after killing several of these enemies, it likely means that other CEs are queued first. One way of getting around this is to immediately rush kill inkstains in a new instance to attempt to force this CE to spawn.
Guide
This Critical Encounter is a boss fight against the Cloister Demon that is chained to the center of the arena.
- Sunderseal Roar: Raidwide attack
- Tidal Breath: Half-room semicircular cleave from the direction the Cloister Demon is facing
- Gigaflare: Raidwide that also puts a 10 second
debuff on everyone. - Great Ball of Fire: Giant fireballs are summoned, which will explode into huge circle AOEs in the same order they appeared
- Blazing Flare: 2 Large fireballs are summoned that function the same as during "Great Ball of Fire", along with multiple medium-sized circle AOEs spawn in sequence around the arena
Throughout the fight the Cloister Demon will attempt to break free of its seal using Seal Asunder, which has a long cast bar and summons multiple circles around the arena. At least 4 players must step on each seal at the same time to close them, which will increase the Seal Power gauge by 4. The gauge must be filled before Seal Asunder finishes casting, or the party will wipe. At the same time various AOE attacks will be moving across the arena, often covering a few seal circles at a time. These AOEs can be in the following patterns:
- Criss-crossing diagonal line AOEs of lightning
- Cone AOEs that steadily fill up the entire arena like pizza slices before going off in the order they appeared
- Fireballs that explode into large circle AOEs in the same order they appeared.
During Seal Asunder adds can also be spawned. Red text will appear that reads "Thralls of the demon fight alongside their master!" and 2 Cloister Torch bomb adds will appear on opposite sides of the arena, tethered to the Cloister Demon. These adds will need to be killed before they reach the Cloister Demon.
If participating with fewer players, the summoning circles will require fewer people to soak to ensure that the encounter can still be cleared without needing significant coordination. For example, if soloing this CE, the circles only require 1 player to soak.
