Apparently a program to address work-related stress, you are treated to a soothing song composed by a certain minstrel, its lush strains massaging your mind and adding vibrant flourishes to the memories of your trials within the Deltascape...
— In-game description
Deltascape V4.0 (Savage) is a level 70 raid introduced in patch 4.05 with Stormblood. The raid is also known as O4S. Completing this duty, which can be done with an Unrestricted Party (unsynced), is needed to unlock The Unending Coil of Bahamut (Ultimate).
Strategy
This is the first savage raid that introduced checkpoints. Once players succeed in passing Phase 1, any wipes or fight resets will place players at the start of Phase 2 against Neo Exdeath.
- The checkpoint occurs after Neo Exdeath becomes targetable. Should players experience a delayed death during the transition cutscene, they will not trigger the checkpoint and start back from Phase 1.
The duty time limit has additionally been increased to 120 minutes, up from the usual 90. Should players abandon the instance or time-out, they will have to restart from Phase 1.
Prior to the fight, players will want to assign boss-relative clock spots. While Phase 1 will want melee positioned in the south, Phase 2 onwards ideally has melee in the northern positions.
Exdeath has a hard enrage of around 4:50.
Neo Exdeath has a hard enrage of ~12:45.
Phase 1: 
Exdeath
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Dualcast | Exdeath's next cast of Fire III, Blizzard III, or Thunder III happens twice in a row.
|
| Blizzard III | Five random players have simple circle AoEs placed underneath them. Dualcast causes five more to appear after the first set resolves.
|
| Thunder III | A tankbuster that inflicts  Lightning Resistance Down II for 6 seconds. Dualcast causes a second tankbuster aimed at the highest enmity player.
|
| Fire III | Hits all DPS with unmarked spread circle AoEs; Dualcast causes all tanks and healers to be hit a few seconds later.
|
| White Hole | Players not at full HP are  Petrified for 10 seconds. Players with less than 50% HP are instantly killed.
|
| The Decisive Battle | Eight vines sprout from the center in a rotation pattern, a proximity AoE is placed in the center that deals knockback, and a healer is targeted by a Stack marker.
A tree rises from the center and aims a
|
| Vacuum Wave | A powerful radial knockback emitted from Exdeath that pushes players almost the full length of the arena. Can be resisted with Arm's Length or Surecast. |
| Black Hole | Eight black holes are created around the arena, four of which attach chase tethers to the tanks and healers. All players are inflicted with  HP Penalty for the duration of the attack.
|
| Holy | A Stack marker placed on a healer. |
| Meteor | Extremely high unavoidable party-wide damage. |
This phase acts as a DPS check. Players must push Exdeath to 60% HP before they finish their second cast of Meteor to initiate the next phase.
Many of the attacks Exdeath uses are quite deadly and must be handled with precision and caution.
- Dualcast Blizzard III and Fire III can be handled utilizing clock spots, but Dualcast Thunder III requires a tank swap during its cast to ensure each tank takes a single tankbuster each.
The first key attack to look out for is The Decisive Battle, which combines multiple attacks into a deadly chain of events:
All players should stack up in front of the last vine that sprouts from the ground, hugging its front to survive the incoming knockback from the proximity AoE.
Next, all players will need to run away from their current position to avoid the incoming
Zombification breath.
Lastly, the three players marked by Flare markers must spread out equally in a triangle formation at the edges while the rest of the party move to an edge between two of the Flares. All players must be on an edge to ensure Exdeath re-appears on an edge for the upcoming Vacuum Wave.
Dodge the Void Spell used after Exdeath appears, then either run to Exdeath in preparation for Vacuum Wave or use a knockback resistance ability.
The other attack series to look out for is Black Hole.
The tanks and healers should run to clock spot edges and all run the same direction either clockwise or counter clockwise. The DPS must spread out around the center avoiding Black Holes and each other's Fire III or Blizzard III AoEs.
For the first Black Hole cast, all players will want to stack back in the center immediately after the second hit of Fire III to share the Holy Stack marker.
For the second Black Hole cast, instead the players targeted by Flare markers will want to spread around the edges again while the rest of the party moves to the center for safety.
Should players fail to bring Exdeath to 60% HP in time, he will cast a third Meteor that instantly wipes the party.

Phase 2: Neo Exdeath
After a long transitory cutscene, Neo Exdeath appears. A checkpoint is created here—any party wipes afterwards will restart the fight from Phase 2.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Almagest | High unavoidable party-wide damage that inflicts  Almagest on all players for 15 seconds, dealing a painful amount of damage over time.
|
| Aero III | A tankbuster. Despite its visuals, it is not an AoE. |
| Delta Attack | Exdeath uses Dualcast Blizzard III, Dualcast Fire III, and Dualcast Thunder III simultaneously. |
| Terminal Antilight | A wild charge attack. Indicated by Exdeath casting Flood of Naught and a constellation appearing in front of him. |
| Inner/Outer Antilight | A giant simple line AoE, either from Exdeath's center or his left and right sides. Indicated by a cast of Flood of Naught and either large blue orbs in front of him (indicating a center AoE) or from the mouths on his sides (left and right AoEs). |
| Edge of Death | Exdeath begins casting Flood of Naught, with a  White Wound and  Black Wound orb appearing to his left and right. Each half of the arena will be hit by the indicated Wound.
Players hit will be debuffed with a
|
| Double Attack | Attaches a proximity tether to the highest enmity player, then attacks with a large shared AoE tankbuster that deals heavy knockback to those hit—away from Exdeath. |
| Emptiness | Three moving AoEs are placed around the arena. Has a multiple potential placement patterns. |
| Earth Shaker | Marks the two highest enmity players with brown spread cone arrows. |
| Vacuum Wave | A blue simple circle AoE underneath Exdeath that deals extreme knockback. |
| Light and Darkness | One tank, one healer, and one DPS are marked with flare markers while the other healer is targeted by a Stack marker. |
| Meteor | Creates four destructible Arcane Spheres that slowly attempt to pull meteors to the ground. Always immediately followed by Edge of Death. |
| Charybdis | Sets every player's HP to 1. |
| Grand Cross Alpha | Resets enmity. All players are inflicted with  Hysteria for 3 seconds,  Acceleration Bomb for 15 seconds, and either White Wound or Black Wound at random.
One tank, one healer, and one DPS are debuffed with
|
| Grand Cross Delta | Resets enmity. Each player is given two debuffs based on their role, and all players are given White Wound or Black Wound at random. Always followed by Inner/Outer Antilight.
|
A brutal onslaught of attacks, players will need to have strategies and positions prepared ahead of time to survive. DPS players may want to swap clock spot positions to have melee DPS up north, as Exdeath will no longer move from the edge of the platform.
- All players will want to keep an eye on their
White Wound or 
Black Wound debuff, as they must stand on the opposite side of Edge of Death to survive. These debuffs will not only swap with each Edge of Death, but are randomized with each cast of Grand Cross Alpha and Grand Cross Delta.
- Delta Attack can be handled utilizing clock spot positions and a tank swap. Players should stack together during the initial cast to consolidate the first Blizzard III AoEs, then run to clock spots. After the first set of Fire III explosions, DPS can move back towards the center while tanks and healers stay near the edge for the second Fire III. The off-tank will also need to Provoke during the cast to split the Thunder III.
- When Double Attack begins, both tanks should run to the center of the arena and mitigate while the rest of the party runs to the edge of the arena underneath Exdeath.
- Alternatively, one tank can use an invulnerability and stand directly underneath Exdeath while all other players stand at max melee range.
- Unless dodging an attack, Melee DPS and tanks should try to stay at the edge of Exdeath's targeting ring to have time to escape Vacuum Wave.
The two most dangerous attacks to look out for are Grand Cross Alpha and Grand Cross Delta. Additionally, as these attacks reset enmity, a tank should cast Provoke afterwards to re-establish enmity lead.

Phase 3: Grand Cross Omega
Exdeath will place another large series of debuffs on all players based on roles and begin a long sequence of attacks.
- All players are inflicted with Hysteria for 3 seconds and a random White Wound or Black Wound debuff.
- One tank, one healer, and one DPS are inflicted with a 10 second Forked Lightning. The other healer has a 10 second Compressed Water.
- Two DPS are inflicted with a 30 second Cursed Shriek while all other players have a 30 second Acceleration Bomb.
- One tank, one healer, and one DPS have a 43 second Allagan Field while all other players have a 43 second Beyond Death and Off-Balance.
He then casts The Final Battle. This attack causes Exdeath to teleport to the opposite side of the arena, and then do three randomly chosen casts of Edge of Death or Inner/Outer Antilight, teleporting to a new location with each attack.
The assault is then finalized with Terminal Antilight.
