Fuath tricksters, renowned for their devilish sense of mischief even amongst the impish fae, have overrun the dungeons beneath Lyhe Ghiah. It is said they have ensorcelled the deepest sanctum with their chaotic magicks, and tempt mortal visitors into playing their "games" with the promise of unearthly riches. Should you stumble upon their hidden domain, know that you gamble your life with every spin of fate's wheel!

Progression

Upon entering the instance, players will find an arcane sphere which must be used to perform an invocation. Doing so will trigger a roulette wheel, summoning forth one of several creatures. The invocation can only be triggered by the owner of the treasure map, and only after opening the previous treasure chest and all loot as been allocated where applicable.

A treasure chest will appear upon defeating the enemies summoned by the invocation. Only the player who opened the teleportation portal can access it. After claiming the contents of the treasure chest, the arcane sphere can be used again, for a total of five invocations.

Effects of Each Outcome

Outcome Effect
Shifting Altars of Uznair Effect1.png Results in a lesser summon.
Shifting Altars of Uznair Effect2.png Results in a greater summon.
Shifting Altars of Uznair Effect3.png Results in an elder summon.
Shifting Altars of Uznair Effect4.png Summons a secret sweeper, expelling the party from the instance. Rarely, the secret sweeper will be destroyed by a mysterious force and replaced with a greater or elder summon.
Shifting Altars of Uznair Effect5.png Causes the arcane circles to shift and causes an elder summon. Once shifted, the board will only have these icons and sweepers on the board, with every outcome on them resulting in elder summons with greater rewards, but the number of sweepers will increase with every successful round.
Shifting Altars of Uznair Effect6.png Summons a stuffed fuath, which will either reward a lot of treasure without a battle or an unknown other outcome.

Chance Opportunities

There are three enemy types that may appear during each round of combat. Depending on the summon encountered, some of these encounters are guaranteed to trigger. For example, the Mandragora summon will always feature the Dungeon crew.

  • Fuath Tricksters; The party is given a limited amount of time to defeat them. Once defeated, they will drop sacks of elemental clusters.
  • Keeper of the Keys; Rather powerful and should be burned down quickly. They drop a chest full of materia. In some encounters, 3 of these will appear (though they appear to be weaker than normal in that case)
  • Dungeon Crew; Five mandragoras will drop from the sky with numbers above their heads. They must be taken out in order of 1 to 5. If done correctly, the reward from the final mandragora is a sizable amount of gil.

Exit

The duty will end if any of the following conditions are met:

  • Five summons are performed and the duty is completed.
  • A secret sweeper is summoned and removes the party from the duty.
  • All party members are KO'd.
