“Beckoned by the auracite, you arrive at the Orbonne Monastery─vestige of an ancient civilization lost beneath the twisted roots and vines of a forbidden jungle. The Durai Papers claim this holy sanctuary to be where the tale of young Ramza Beoulve began. Tonight, it is where your tale ends.
— In-game description
The Orbonne Monastery is a level 70 raid introduced in patch 4.5 with Stormblood.
Objectives
Bosses
Mustadio
- Energy Burst: Raid-wide AoE
- Arm Shot: Tank Buster
- Leg Shot: Places a land mine beneath three random players. If a player runs into a mine, it explodes for high damage and inflicts Paralysis.
- Left/Right Handgonne: Hits a ~270-degree angle to the boss's left or right. Usually used twice in a row.
- Maintenance: Boss tethers two to six robots inside and around the arena. Outside robots attack a line directly across the arena. Inside robots attack the quadrant they're in.
- Ballistic Missile: Player-targeted AoE on one random player from each Alliance.
- Searchlight: Floor markers track targets and detonate, similar to Phantom Train's spotlights.
- Analysis + Last Testament: Ground, circle marker placed on each player with an opening on a side. Boss jumps out of the arena and appears randomly on the outside. Position character such that circle-marker hole faces the boss when cast finishes. The first time Mustadio casts this attack, a cutscene plays showing him lining up his shot while simultaneously allowing the players to determine his position. Afterward without the cutscene, less time is available to locate the boss and position accordingly.
Agrias
NOTE: Throughout the fight, two types of special AoEs will spawn, each giving a specific Duty Action. Shieldbearer makes the user immune to damage from the front. Moving or using other abilities while Shieldbearer is active will end the effect. Swordbearer grants a short 180 degree arc attack that deals high damage to shielded enemies.
- Divine Light: Raid wide damage.
- Thunder Slash: AoE/cleave targeted on main tank.
- Judgment Blade: AoE Knockback and inflicts Vulnerability Up. To avoid, step into one of the light pillars, face the boss, and use the Duty action Holy Shield.
- Cleansing Blade: Six player-targeted AoEs on two players from each alliance.
- Cleansing Strike: One random Alliance is pulled into another area where they are inflicted with a 1-minute Doom debuff and must slay all of the Tainted Soul and Taintless Soul adds that spawn. Tainted Souls slowly move toward the center of the area, where they explode for high damage and inflict Vulnerability Up. Taintless Souls stay put, but are highly resistant to any attack that isn't from the Sword duty action, and if left alone, will cast an attack that deals high damage.
- Consecration: Used immediately after Cleansing Strike. Two Swordbearer circles will spawn, and one of the two remaining alliances will be trapped within Halidom adds and pulled to specific areas around the arena. Several untargetable Ephemeral Knight adds will launch line attacks across the arena, through each add. The remaining alliance's goal is to use the Sword duty action to destroy the adds.
- Hallowed Bolt: Two random players are marked for an AoE attack that hits twice in succession: Once as a circle AoE centered on the player, and once as a ring AoE centered on the player (or vice versa).
- Heavenly Judgment: Agrias begins charging up a Holy Blade meter. Two Sword Knight adds and one Shield Knight add spawn, along with two Shieldbearer circles. The two Sword Knights will cast Mortal Blow, dealing damage in a massive circle around them. Meanwhile, a Swordbearer circle will spawn, alongside four Emblazoned Shield adds that tether to the Shield Knight and make it Invulnerable. If Agrias's Holy Blade meter reaches 100, Heavenly Judgment will wipe the raid.
- Divine Ruination: One random player from each alliance becomes tethered to Agrias, while two Shieldbearer circles spawn. After a short delay, Agrias will launch a highly-damaging attack at the tethered players.
The Thunder God
Note: Auto-attacks will hit the highest hate member of each party.
- T.G. Holy Sword:
- Swords stabbed in ground: Get close, AoE hits far away
- Swords held sideways: Get away, AoE hits close
- Swords raised over platforms: Stay off the covered platforms. Later in the fight he may delay covering the platforms, or move the swords to a different platform.
- Cleansing Strike: Reduces entire alliance to 1 HP and inflicts a Doom that is dispelled when those afflicted are healed to full hit points.
- Duskblade: Creates a circle on each of the six platforms. Three players are required per circle to reduce the damage. When a circle is occupied by three or more players, curved spikes will erupt from the circle. This deals no damage, being purely an indicator that the circle is filled.
- Shadowblade: Marks one player in each alliance with a large black AoE. When the attack goes off, each target will take moderate damage and a gradually-expanding black spheres will spawn on the spot each target was standing at the time. Standing inside the orbs deals little damage, but the true danger of Shadowblade comes from allowing two spheres to overlap. Any spheres that intersect each other at any point will annihilate each other, removing the offending spheres from the field, but also inflicting a stack of a highly-damaging Bleed debuff to the entire alliance for each sphere that was destroyed (as two spheres are needed to actually overlap, the alliance will always be afflicted with at least two stacks of the debuff). Later on in the fight, two players in each alliance will be marked for this attack, with very little room for error to avoid overlap.
- Crush Helm: Each party's tank receives 4 stacks of Vulnerability Up, followed by a tank buster.
- Crush Shield: The boss tethers to each alliance's tank that strikes the tethered player with an attack that deals extremely high damage and inflicts a stack of Physical Vulnerability Up four times, with a noticeable delay between each attack. The tanks should immediately pass the tether off to another party member, as the debuff drastically increases the damage taken from the boss's auto-attacks. After a player is struck with the attack, another player should intercept the tether. Only a tank can survive two strikes of Crush Shield, but this will almost guarantee death to the next auto-attack received.
- Crush Weapon: One player in each alliance is marked with a three-pronged black crosshair over their head, eventually dropping a large AoE beneath their feet that deals damage and inflicts Physical Vulnerability Up. The AoE will chase the player, striking four times in quick succession before ending.
- Colosseum: The boss becomes untargetable, launches the entire raid to a new flat and open arena, spawns three Ephemeral Knight adds, and begins charging a Swordplay gauge.
- Hallowed Bolt (1): One player in each alliance is marked with a red arrow that eventually creates a circle AoE followed by a ring AoE (or vice-versa) centered on the target. Getting hit by this attack deals moderate damage and inflicts a strong, non-dispellable Electrocution debuff.
- Hallowed Bolt (2): Stack marker on one player in each alliance. In addition to dealing damage, the attack also inflicts a very short Magic Vulnerability Up debuff on those hit.
- Divine Ruination: One player in each alliance is marked with a purple arrow and is tethered to the boss. After a short delay, the adds will launch a wide line AoE at their respective marked target. Stick to the edges of the arena to prevent your party's add from hitting the other parties.
- Balance Asunder: Heavy raid-wide damage based on how far the Swordplay bar filled during add phase. If Orlandeau was allowed to reach 100%, his attack will wipe the alliance. If the alliance survives the attack, they will be returned to the initial platform.
- Crush Accessory: An ice puddle will spawn, covering the entire arena save for the six furthest points from the boss on each of the circles. Players are inflicted with Frostbite for as long as they stand in the puddle. Three Icewolf adds will each spawn in one of the empty areas and begin to slowly cast Burst, killing the add, but dealing very high damage to the entire alliance and inflicting a stack of Vulnerability Up. Once all of the adds are gone, the puddle will be removed.
Ultima, The High Seraph
Phase 1:
- Ultima is chained to the wall in phase 1 and will not move.
- Holy IV: Targets the ground under X party members with an AoE circle. High light damage.
- Auralight: Creates a circle around Ultima, plus three wide line AoEs coming out of Ultima. The line AoEs leave behind an impassable wall for a few seconds that restrict player movement.
- Grand Cross: Drops 3 auracite shards that will create a cross-shaped AoE (N/E/S/W) centered on themselves. Players should position themselves to not be aligned with them.
- Demi-Aquarius: Summons Demi-Famfrit, who will cast Dark Ewers to fly around the arena. Ultima will use Auralight, so players should run to the area that will have the most space to run around once Auralight's walls are up to avoid Dark Ewer.
- Demi-Aries: Summons Demi-Belias to cast Time Eruption. Stand on a slow clock until the fast clocks detonate, then move to a fast one. Ultima will cast Holy IV, so players may need to spread out or run away while the explosions are going off.
- Demi-Leo: Summons Demi-Hashmal who will create and cut down two Control Towers. Ultima will cast Holy IV again, so players may need to dodge it while avoiding the falling towers.
Ultima will then re-summon all 3 for a two-round combo attack:
- First: Time Eruption, Earth Hammer, and Dark Cannonade will all go off at the same time, so players must stay away from the hammer, move from a slow clock to a fast clock, and gather together if they have the red marker to prevent knock-up.
- Second: Dark Ewer, Extreme Edge, and Eruption will happen at the same time. Players must avoid the Dark Ewers, move to the safe (no flame) side of Extreme Edge, and dodge Eruption floor markers.
Phase 2:
- Ultima will begin casting Ultimate Illusion, and a safe bubble will appear that all players should move into.
- For the duration of phase 2, players will receive constant AoE damage that healers need to heal through.
- Ultima will transform and invade the bubble, becoming a targetable Ruination. Players must pass a DPS check to push it back before the bubble breaks.
- Ultimate Illusion will continue dealing damage until the players are dropped into a new battlefield for phase 3.
Phase 3:
- If the alliance wipes, the fight will begin at Phase 3 from now on.
- Redemption: High-damage tank buster.
- Demi-Virgo: Summons untargetable adds that will cast line AoEs across the arena.
- Eastward/Westward March: Shifts all adds East or West right before their line AoEs go off. Players should position themselves assuming the AoEs will move.
- Grand Cross: The same as before, but will be combined with an Eastward or Westward March pushing the auracites before their AoEs.
- Ground Arrows: Small arrows appear on the ground and move in the direction they're pointing. One player must follow each arrow or it will detonate, damaging the raid. Successful completion rewards the player with a damage buff.
- Cataclysm: Knocks all alliance members to the back of the arena, stuns them, places an Acceleration Bomb on them, and creates a mini-maze to Ultima. Players must navigate the maze, pausing when the Acceleration Bomb timer runs out. If they take too long, an AoE starting at the back of the arena will move forward and kill them. While the maze is active, all player abilities are disabled except when inside Ultima's hitbox. Once Ultima has been reached, she will target a few players with AoEs; the targeted players must run back into the maze to avoid splashing damage onto the raid.
