The North American, European, and Oceanian data centers primarily use Party Finder to challenge (Extreme) content. Using Duty Finder to match with random players is not recommended and will be more difficult than pre-forming a party. For an easy completion (that will satisfy any quest requirements) or loot farming, it is recommended that players use Party Finder and form an Unrestricted Party (i.e., with level sync disabled). Players who wish to complete this duty with level sync enabled should also form a pre-made party, which also enables the use of Minimum Item Level and Silence Echo settings for a more authentic challenge compared to a Duty Finder party.

This article is about the level 70 challenge-mode trial. For the story-mode Main Scenario trial, see Emanation.

In the shadow of Kugane's renowned Mujikoza theater, you recount your clash with Sri Lakshmi to the wandering minstrel. Moved to melancholy by the tragic tale, he forgoes adapting it for the stage, choosing instead to honor the memory of the departed with a verse. So vivid are the words and sorrowful the melody, you cannot help but relive the fateful encounter in your mind's eye...

— In-game description

Emanation (Extreme) is a level 70 trial introduced in patch 4.0 with Stormblood.

Strategy

Lady of Bliss: Lakshmi

While players will have access to Vril like the normal version, players will instead have 3 charges that are refilled much less frequently, requiring careful use throughout the fight.

Vril lasts for 50 seconds and is removed after absorbing an ability from Lakshmi. This buff has two effects:

  1. Abilities from Lakshmi will heal the player instead of damaging them.
  2. If Lakshmi is under the effects of Chanchala, Vril instead counters the damage-increasing effect. Any debuffing effects are halved or completely resisted.

Opening:

The fight starts with two Dreaming Kshatrya that must be killed to make Lakshmi targetable.

These enemies buff themselves with Vril to start, attack with a cleave called Tail Slap, and a circle AoE gaze called Inner Demons—which inflicts Terror for 5 seconds.

The only effect Vril has on the Kshatrya is making Lakshmi's Stotram heal 30% of their health. Stotram is only cast once during this phase.

Once both Dreaming Kshatrya are killed, Lakshmi will lower her shield and begin the fight proper.


Phase 1:

Lakshmi Abilities
Name Description Chanchala Effect
Chanchala Lakshmi buffs herself with Chanchala, increasing the potency of her attacks to players not buffed by Vril. N/A
Hand of Grace Marks three DPS with spread markers that deal line AoEs in all cardinal directions. N/A
Hand of Beauty Marks both healers with spread circles that drop Bleed puddles. Puddles grow massively in size afterwards.

Healers are inflicted with Heavy for 15 seconds unless protected by Vril.

Alluring Arm Marks three players with a mix of Hand of Grace and Hand of Beauty. N/A
Stotram High unavoidable party-wide damage. Damage is massively increased and inflicts Bleeding.
The Pull of Light A moderate damage tankbuster. Damage is significantly increased.
The Path of Light Targets the second highest enmity player with a 90 degree spread cone, indicated by a blue circle. Damage is significantly increased.
The Pall of Light A standard Stack marker. Damage is increased and inflicts Bleeding.
Divine Denial A radial knockback attack.

Players not buffed by Vril are pushed significantly farther back, likely off the platform.

Only used with Chanchala.
Divine Desire Lakshmi creates a puddle under herself that inflicts Bleeding and casts a radial draw-in effect.

Players not buffed by Vril are affected significantly more by the draw-in and Stunned for 5 seconds.

Chanchala Hand of Beauty positioning.

The first phase will primarily involve positioning Hand of Grace correctly and proper use of Vril to reduce the damage of Chanchala.

Players are given plenty of time to position AoEs, but DPS should always attempt to move towards the edge to give the rest of the party enough space to keep attacking the boss.

In this phase, two Vril will be needed to counter Divine Denial and Divine Desire, with healers and tanks needing to use their third Vril to counter Hand of Beauty, Pull of Light, or Path of Light.

  • In a pinch, The Pull of Light can be survived without Vril by using heavy mitigation and shields.
  • In an emergency, Vril can be used to be healed by an attack as long as Lakshmi is not under the effect of Chanchala.

Phase 2 Start

Phase 2 - Alluring Embrace:

Lakshmi will become untargetable again, and create two Dreaming Brahmin and two Dreaming Shudra. A 90 second countdown begins until Lakshmi casts her ultimate, Alluring Embrace.

Players will lose all charges of Vril, which will be given to a random Dreamer and swapped randomly every 10 seconds.

Each time any Dreamer is killed, Lakshmi will revive it with a stack of Vulnerability Down.

Every time a Dreamer buffed with Vril is killed, a few random players are given back all charges of Vril. The first kill returns it to two players, the second four, and the third kill the remaining two players.

During this time, Dreaming Brahmin will cast Water III on random players. This is a spread circle indicated by a red arrow. Marked players should move away to avoid damaging others.

Players should bring all Dreamers to low health simultaneously, then focus down the ones buffed with Vril.

Once three Dreamers buffed with Vril are killed or 90 seconds have passed, Lakshmi will cast Alluring Embrace. Players must protect themselves with Vril or this attack will instantly defeat them.


Phase 3:

Phase 3 Abilities
Name Description Chanchala Effect
Divine Doubt Inflicts all players with Confused for 16 seconds. Players buffed by Vril are only afflicted for 8 seconds. Only used with Chanchala.
Blissful Spear Large AoEs are placed on arena. Inside the AoEs are blue bubbles that refill all charges of Vril when touched.

Has three patterns: A Z shape with 9 bubbles, a single line AoE with 3 bubbles, or a donut AoE with 16 bubbles.

Damage dealt by the AoE is increased.

While mostly similar to the prior phase, Lakshmi will combine Chanchala with her larger attacks, requiring much more active use of Vril. Additionally, the introduction of Blissful Spear allows for Vril to be restored in the middle of the battle.

Of note, players will need to be careful of Divine Doubt. Vril will only halve the length of Confused, so players should attempt to spread out into pairs to ensure each player is only being hit by one other. Grouping risks one player being targeted by several others and being killed.

At the end of her rotation, Lakshmi will cast Chanchala and a non-resistable Divine Denial that knocks all players off the platform.
