==Strategy==
==Strategy==
===Phase 1===
{{#ev:youtube|96NM57IBF1Q|350|right}}
As soon as you pull you'll have 20 seconds before she enters phase 1. This is a good time to blow DPS cooldowns as there is no movement everyone will be alive. Melee should be near the Boss and Ranged should stack up right in between the pillars, as shown in the Phase 1 positioning below. After these 20 seconds she will cast '''Calm Within the Storm''', which is the purple AOE around the edge of the arena which you would have seen from Hard mode. Tanks and melee should run into the center of the arena, then everyone should hide behind the pillars for the '''Mistral Shriek'''. The first one comes from the North, so make sure you are on the south side of the pillars. When she returns it'd be best to position to like below:<br>
===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|link=]] Lady of the Vortex: [[Garuda]]===
[[File:garuda extreme guide1.jpg|400px|Phase 1]]
====Phase 1====
This is very similar to the other versions - however, when the Razor Plumes appear, make sure to kill the Satin Plume first. Otherwise, the Satin Plume will sleep everyone. Any time Garuda disappears, random AoEs will spawn. These are '''{{action icon|Feather Rain}}''', a spell learnable by {{BLU}} [[Blue Mage]]s.


The central and clumped positioning is so that '''Friction'''s cast on melee or the Ranged do not damage the pillars, as they are still vitally important for surviving '''Reckoning''' later.
====Phase 2====
Garuda will spawn two adds, [[Chirada]] and [[Suparna]]. The off-tank should hold Chirada while the main tank should hold Suparna. Separate them and kill one at a time. Generally you will be killing [[Chirada]] first.


As soon as she returns she will summon Razor plumes (which explode for about 2000 damage) and 1 Satin plume. Every DPS and the Offtank need to be ready for this. It's best to have 2 DPS focusing down the satin plume as the rest kill Razor Plumes.
At the end of this phase Garuda will teleport to the center and cast Reckoning. There's no dodging this, so stack up in the center. This will wipe if too many stones are destroyed.


When the plumes are down do as much damage to the boss as possible because if you hit 70% you'll enter phase 2. If you don't manage to trigger phase 2 she will teleport away and do another '''Mistral Shriek''' from the east, so use the pillars accordingly.  
====Phase 3====
Garuda will destroy the pillars, and summon more Razor Plumes. This time they will have a Spiny Plume with them. Kill the Razor Plumes, but do not kill the Spiny Plume. The Spiny Plume will apply "Thermal Low" to the tank it is agro'd on. Tanks must swap agro on the spiny plume at 2 stacks. At 3 stacks of "Thermal Low" the party will wipe.


*TL;DR: Dps Boss -> Hide behind Pillars -> Kill Plumes -> DPS boss-> Be ready to hide behind pillars if you don't trigger phase 2
When Garuda vanishes, kill the Spiny Plume. This will create a shield that will protect you from wiping when Garuda reappears. Dodge the Spiny Plume's AoE when it dies and hide under its shield.


===Phase 2===
====Phase 4====
Phase 2 is when Garuda will summon her two minions, Chirada and Suprana. The first thing you'll notice are the lines connecting them. Chirada will always have a green line and Suprana will have red. These colored lines put a shield on Garuda until the adds are dead and a scaling buff if they tanked close to each other. This means your main tank will need to pull Suprana to the north and tank her as well as Garuda. The off tank will pull Chirada to the south, reference the position below:<br>
Garuda will summon a Spiny Plume, [[Chirada]] and [[Suparna]], and a large number of green whirlwinds.
[[File:garuda extreme guide2.jpg|400px|Phase 2]]


The whole phase is DPS race to kill the adds before Garuda casts Reckoning. If even 1 add is alive '''Reckoning''' will deal 9k damage. DPS down Chirada first then move on to Suprana. Any spare time should be spent DPSing Garuda.
There are safe spots in the northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast to stand to avoid the whirlwinds.


*TL;DR: Suprana and Garuda tanked North -> Chirada taken far south -> Dps Chirada -> DPS Suprana -> DPS Boss -> Survive Reckoning
As in Phase 2, separate [[Chirada]] and [[Suparna]], kill them one at a time. Garuda will vanish once they both die.


===Phase 3===
As in Phase 3, avoid killing the Spiny Plume until Garuda vanishes, then hide under its shield. The Spiny Plume will act just like it did in phase 3 with the "Thermal Low" stacks.
In Phase 3 the plumes will return but you won't have to protect any pillars. Within the Razor Plumes that spawn there will be a Spiny Plume. This Spiny Plume must be kept alive as it's vital later on in the phase. Have the offtank taunt the Spiny Plume and keep aggro on it with non-damage abilities (flash, etc). This Plume will deal no damage but will apply a stacking debuff on the tank, '''Thermal Low''', which will cause large AoE damage if it reaches 3 stacks. Tanks will need to provoke the Plume off of each other accordingly.


When Garuda teleports away she will cast an unavoidable '''Mistral Shriek'''. This is where the Spiny Plume comes into play - all DPS must switch to the Spiny Plume and kill it. It will leave a large AoE patch on the floor which will turn into bubble. This bubble will grant everyone standing inside massive wind resistance to enable them to survive the Shriek.
You'll cycle between Phase 3 and Phase 4 until Garuda dies.


*TL;DR: Kill Razor Plumes -> Taunt Spiny Plume between tanks -> DPS Garuda -> Garuda teleports -> Kill Spiny Plume -> Avoid Aoe -> Run into bubble.

===Phase 4===
==Solo strategy (level 70+)==
This is the final phase of the encounter. After casting Shriek Garuda will teleport to the middle again, dropping an AoE. All non tanks should run to the North-East to start with to avoid the AoE. She will then summon the Twins again (Suprana to the west, Chirata to the east). The tanks should pull their respective targets to a position to like below:<br>
With a high player level (70+) and high-end gear, The Howling Eye (Extreme) can be finished solo or with a small party. To do so, enter the trial unsynced by selecting "[[Unrestricted Party]]" in the duty finder options.
[[File:garuda extreme guide3.jpg|400px|Phase 4]]


The rest of the phase is similar to phase 2, avoid as much damage as possible whilst killing Chirada then Suprana. However, another spiny plume will spawn and after a set time Garuda will cast Reckoning  again. You will need to use the plume's shield to survive it. It's vital to have the tanks topped up when this happens.
With sufficient defenses, healing and damage, the fight's mechanics can be largely ignored, and all damage focused on Garuda.


*TL;DR: Get in position -> Pull Twins -> Kill Chirada -> Kill Suprana -> DPS Garuda -> Kill Spiny Plume -> Hide in bubble.

Extreme caution icon1.png Important Extreme caution icon1.png

The North American and European 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.

An attack by the primal Garuda has annihilated an entire Twin Adder brigade, with the sole survivor left to tell a tale writ in terror and misery. Garuda's powers are far greater than they should be; left with few options and all but one of them almost certain failures, the Order of the Twin Adder turns to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, so that they may summon a Warrior of Light.

— In-game description

The Howling Eye (Extreme) is a level 50 trial introduced in patch 2.1.

Strategy

Aggressive difficulty r6.png Lady of the Vortex: Garuda

Phase 1

This is very similar to the other versions - however, when the Razor Plumes appear, make sure to kill the Satin Plume first. Otherwise, the Satin Plume will sleep everyone. Any time Garuda disappears, random AoEs will spawn. These are Feather Rain.png  Feather Rain, a spell learnable by Blue Mage frame icon.png Blue Mages.

Phase 2

Garuda will spawn two adds, Chirada and Suparna. The off-tank should hold Chirada while the main tank should hold Suparna. Separate them and kill one at a time. Generally you will be killing Chirada first.

At the end of this phase Garuda will teleport to the center and cast Reckoning. There's no dodging this, so stack up in the center. This will wipe if too many stones are destroyed.

Phase 3

Garuda will destroy the pillars, and summon more Razor Plumes. This time they will have a Spiny Plume with them. Kill the Razor Plumes, but do not kill the Spiny Plume. The Spiny Plume will apply "Thermal Low" to the tank it is agro'd on. Tanks must swap agro on the spiny plume at 2 stacks. At 3 stacks of "Thermal Low" the party will wipe.

When Garuda vanishes, kill the Spiny Plume. This will create a shield that will protect you from wiping when Garuda reappears. Dodge the Spiny Plume's AoE when it dies and hide under its shield.

Phase 4

Garuda will summon a Spiny Plume, Chirada and Suparna, and a large number of green whirlwinds.

There are safe spots in the northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast to stand to avoid the whirlwinds.

As in Phase 2, separate Chirada and Suparna, kill them one at a time. Garuda will vanish once they both die.

As in Phase 3, avoid killing the Spiny Plume until Garuda vanishes, then hide under its shield. The Spiny Plume will act just like it did in phase 3 with the "Thermal Low" stacks.

You'll cycle between Phase 3 and Phase 4 until Garuda dies.
