2.1

The seas around the Isles of Umbra are rife with hidden reefs and rocks, and many a hapless ship has met its demise beneath her surging waves. Recognizing the need to provide vessels with safe passage through these treacherous waters, the Admiral of Limsa Lominsa ordered the construction of a great lighthouse. So it was that Pharos Sirius came into being, shortly before dusk fell upon the Sixth Astral Era.

For a time, Pharos Sirius served seafarers faithfully, the radiance of its aether-fueled lantern piercing the blackest night. Alas, its light was prematurely extinguished by the Calamity, the destruction wrought by Bahamut leaving vast parts of the structure in ruin. Corrupted crystals and aether alike now pervade its halls and passageways, and the reconstruction effort is at a standstill.

Worst still, if rumors can be believed, the dreaded siren of Umbra has returned to claim Pharos Sirius for her domain. Dauntless adventurers must venture within and defeat the seductress and her legion of undead minions if this beacon of civilization is to shine once more.

Pharos Sirius Guide

The enemies' attacks in this encounter can add a stack of Corrupting Crystal to each player. At three stacks, it will explode, dealing damage and applying a Vulnerability Up stack to all nearby players.

To limit stacks, stay spread out, avoid AoEs, and kill the Zombie War Hound adds as quickly as possible.

  • Corrupting Shot: straight line AoE from the boss's position.
  • Crystalline Shot: makes either 1 or 2 large circular puddles on the ground. The puddle(s) will expand 2 times, and touching them will give a Corrupting Crystal stack. If there's one puddle, stay around the edges of the arena. If there are two, then try to split the party across the two safe zones, to minimize splash damage from Corrupting Crystal explosions.
  • Giga Slash: Large AoE that knocks players back (but does not apply a stack of Corrupting Crystal).

If you reach 3 stacks of Corrupting Crystal, run away from everyone so the explosion doesn't hit them. Since you are already at 3 stacks, you can run into the Crystalline Shot puddles if necessary.

Around 15% HP, either use the melee LB to end the boss, or use the caster LB to kill the 3-4 hounds that spawn.

Tank: Face the boss away from the group.

Healer: Be prepared for a lot of AoE healing.

There are two types of eggs, spotted and plain. The plain eggs spawn a Zu Pullet that does a minor AoE, while the spotted eggs spawn a Zu Cockerel that tethers to a player.

Ignore the eggs until the message "The egg is threatening to hatch," appears, which will cause 2-3 eggs to start glowing purple. Only kill one of them. If one of them is a spotted egg, kill it. If more than one egg is killed, Zu will use   Flying Frenzy and bodyslam a party member, which can easily kill someone.

  • Alternatively, do not kill any eggs and just kill the chicks after they spawn.

Dancers should avoid using   Standard Finish, as this will destroy multiple eggs at once.

When Zu flies into the air, kill any adds that are alive. While in the air, Zu will place ground effects under the tank. Also uses the Blue Mage spell   Sonic Boom.

Tank: Face the boss away from the group and pick up the Sailor adds.

Move out of the circular AoE that appears under Tyrant during Bombination.

The boss seems to have quite low HP. Either AoE the adds with the boss or just burn the boss down.

Tank: Position the boss near the center of the room and be ready to pick up the Zombie Storm Privates. Kite the Zombie Storm Sergeants.

Two types of adds can spawn: Zombie Storm Privates that run, and Zombie Storm Sergeants which crawl along the ground. If the latter touches a player, that player will be inflicted with Death Throes and will be unable to act or move until the add is killed.

  • Deathly Verse: inflicts a player with Siren Song. Healers have 12 seconds to heal them to full HP, or they will become confused and attack fellow party members for 8 seconds.
  •   Song of Torment: Applies a Bleeding debuff to the tank. This debuff can be removed with   Esuna. This cast can also be interrupted if one reacts quickly, but it's better to conserve interrupts for the boss's other moves.

When Siren vanishes, she will either appear in the center of the room and cast Deathly Cadenza, or on an edge and cast Feral Lunge.

  • Deathly Cadenza: Large donut AoE at the center of the room. Anyone hit by this will get the Siren Song debuff. Stay in the center of the arena (the circle of metal grates) to avoid it, or interrupt the cast.
  • Feral Lunge: Straight line AoE that goes through the center of the arena.

At around 50% HP or below, Siren will start casting Lunatic Voice.

  • Lunatic Voice: Applies Reduced Immunity, which reduces healing received, to all players. The cast can be interrupted, and the debuff can be removed with   Esuna.

Drawn By The Light

Situated upon the Isles of Umbra, this colossal lighthouse was erected to guide ships safely through the treacherous reefs near Aleport. Its light shone by means of a revolutionary mechanism developed by Naldiq & Vymelli’s, which channeled the land’s aether into the crystal housed in the beacon chamber before releasing it again. As the Calamity wreaked havoc upon the realm, however, the lighthouse was struck clean through by a hail of fireballs causing vast amounts of aether to spew forth. That aether solidified all at once, leaving behind the dynamic formation of corrupted crystals that remains lodged in the structure to this day. Though its original light has ceased to shine, Pharos Sirius continues to function after a fashion owing to the crystals' glow. Concerns grew over its structural integrity, however, and craftsmen were sent in to carry out repairs—only to be driven out by a dread fiend. A siren of seafaring legend had taken up residence within the lighthouse, and intrepid adventurers were called upon to evict this unwelcome tenant.

Siren

With their enthralling song, these seductive she-devils of the waves have lured many sailors to a watery demise. Some years ago, the pirate king Mistbeard hunted down the creatures, and for a time their ruinous voices were not to be heard upon the five seas. Following the Calamity, however, a siren would appear upon the Isles of Umbra—or what few of their kind that remained being drawn, it would seem, to corrupted crystals.

Subterranean Incursion

With the siren silenced at the adventurers' hands, the restoration of Pharos Sirius could begin in earnest, but it was not long ere trouble arose once more—from the very foundations of the lighthouse. As the men and women of Naldiq & Vymelli’s went about their work, they suddenly found themselves overrun by an order of kobolds. In a bid to move their troops into Limsa Lominsa undetected, the beastmen had dug a tunnel stretching from O'Ghomoro, but a miscalculation brought them to the Isles of Umbra instead.

Upon being alerted, the Maelstrom swiftly assembled a small yet capable unit of adventurers. Borne to the beacon chamber by airship, they fought their way down the tower, level by level, and pushed back the forces of the kobolds.

The Progenitrix

The Progenitrix is a prototype bomb developed by ambitious Kobold alchemists seeking to accelerate the pace at which they tunnel the stony hearts of crag, and for. Creating a bomb of this size requires a past to accept the possibility of lethal explosion during the compression process. For the kobolds, however, the exponential gain in potency appears to be worth risking a horrible, fiery death.
