During the first phase, Titan will use Landslide and Tumult on repeat. Players should avoid Titan's frontal column AoE attack named Landslide. Also, an invisible wall prevents players from falling over the edge. When Titan is at about 90% [[HP]], it will leap into the air and use Geocrush. Players should move to the perimeter of the boss room, within the red ground indicator. They should not be in the center of the room. Players can also stack up to receive [[Sacred Soil]] from [[Scholar]] or AoE heals.

When Titan is at about 90% [[HP]], he will leap into the air and use Geocrush. Players should move to the perimeter of the boss room as far from the centre as possible. However, players should remain within the red circle indicator, as that portion of the arena will soon drop into the lava below.

The wall at the edge of the boss room is now gone. The boss will be able to knock players off the platform through knockback attacks such as Landslide. Weight of the Land is the new ability used by Titan in this phase. Players should move out of the swirling sand traps that appear on the ground. At bout 75% HP, Titan will leap into the air and use Geocrush. Players should move to the perimeter of the boss room, just before the red ground indicator. Geocrush signals the end of Phase 2.

At about 75% HP, Titan will leap into the air and use Geocrush once again. Players should move to the perimeter of the boss room, just before the red ground indicator.

Bomb Boulders and Rock Throw are the new abilities used by Titan in this phase. Bomb Boulders spawn bombs around the boss room that eventually explode in the order they were dropped. Rock Throw places a clock-like symbol at the feet of a random player. A few seconds later, it encases that player within a Granite Gaol, incapacitating the individual. Other players can destroy the Gaol to free the player. The newly freed player will have the cleansable debuff [[Determination Down]].

Bomb Boulders spawn bombs in the boss room in 2 different patterns. In the first pattern, bombs spawn at the edge of the room then at the center. The bombs at the edge of the room will explode first, then the bombs in the center will explode. To avoid, players should first move to the center of the room to avoid the exploding bombs at the edge of the room. Then, everyone should move to the empty spot at the edge of the room to avoid the bombs in the center. In the other pattern, the bombs spawn in the center area and corner areas of the room. Players should move away from the center and corners of the room to avoid the exploding bombs.

From deep within their mines, the kobolds have watched and waited for another opportunity to summon their Great Father and wreak havoc on Limsa Lominsa. With the destruction of Ultima Weapon, the final obstacle to their plans was removed, allowing the beastmen to summon their god without fear of imperial reprisal. Once more, it falls to you to ensure that the Lord of Crags never sees the light of day.

Rotations

Phase 1: Landslide -> Tumult -> (Repeat)

Phase 2: Weight of the Land -> Landslide -> Tumult -> (Repeat)

Phase 3: Landslide -> Weight of the Land -> Bomb Boulders -> Landslide -> Weight of the Land -> Rock Throw -> Tumult -> (Repeat)

Phase 4: Rock Throw -> Landslide -> Weight of the Land -> Tumult -> Rock Throw -> Landslide -> Weight of the Land -> Earthen Fury

Phase 5: Mountain Buster -> Tumult -> Weight of the Land -> Bomb Boulders + Landslide -> Mountain Buster -> Weight of the Land -> Rock Throw -> Landslide -> (Repeat)

Phase 1: 100% - 90% HP

Landslide -> Tumult -> (Repeat)

During the first phase, an invisible wall prevents players from falling over the edge, and Titan himself will use Landslide and Tumult on repeat. When Titan is at about 90% HP, he will leap into the air and use Geocrush. Players should move to the perimeter of the boss room as far from the centre as possible. However, players should remain within the red circle indicator, as that portion of the arena will soon drop into the lava below.

Phase 2: 90% - 75% HP

Weight of the Land -> Landslide -> Tumult -> (Repeat)

At this point, the wall at the edge of the boss room is now gone. As a result, players can be knocked off the platform via attacks such as Landslide. Weight of the Land is the new ability used by Titan in this phase. Players should move out of the swirling sand traps that appear on the ground. At about 75% HP, Titan will leap into the air and use Geocrush once again. Players should move to the perimeter of the boss room, just before the red ground indicator. Geocrush signals the end of Phase 2.

Phase 3: 75% - 55% HP

Landslide -> Weight of the Land -> Bomb Boulders -> Landslide -> Weight of the Land -> Rock Throw -> Tumult -> (Repeat)

Bomb Boulders and Rock Throw are the new abilities used by Titan in this phase. Bomb Boulders spawn bombs around the arena that eventually explode in the order they were dropped. Rock Throw places a clock-like symbol at the feet of a random player. A few seconds later, it encases that player within a Granite Gaol, incapacitating the individual. Other players can destroy the Gaol to free the trapped player (who will receive a cleansable debuff - Determination Down).

Bomb Boulders can spawn in two different patterns. In the first pattern, bombs spawn at the edge of the room, then at the center. The bombs at the edge of the room will explode first, then the bombs in the center will explode. To avoid, players should first move to the center of the room to avoid the exploding bombs at the edge of the room, then move to the empty spot at the edge of the room to avoid the bombs in the center. In the other pattern, the bombs spawn in the center area and corner areas of the room. Players should move away from the center and corners of the room to avoid explosions.

Phase 4: Titan's Heart

Rock Throw -> Landslide -> Weight of the Land -> Tumult -> Rock Throw -> Landslide -> Weight of the Land -> Earthen Fury

Players will need to destroy Titan's Heart before he can finish his ability rotation, as failure to do so will result in a wipe. Titan will not use Boulder Bombs in this phase.

Titan will use Rock Throw twice in this phase. Players should kill the Granite Gaol and free the player for the first Rock Throw. You should ignore the Granite Gaol and DPS down Titan's Heart for the second Rock Throw. Do not forget to cleanse the Determination Down.

Use Limit Break to kill the Heart if your party does not have enough DPS.

After killing the Heart, players should break the player out of the Granite Gaol. Healers should cast AoE heals in preparation for Earthen Fury.

Phase 5: 55% - 0% HP

Mountain Buster -> Tumult -> Weight of the Land -> Bomb Boulders + Landslide -> Mountain Buster -> Weight of the Land -> Rock Throw -> Landslide -> (Repeat)

During the fifth and final phase, Titan gains the Mountain Buster ability, which deals heavy damage to the tank.

As Titan's HP drops, he will cast Tumult up to 7 in a row.

In addition to the two Bomb Boulders spawning patterns from phase 3, Titan will have a brand new pattern. In this pattern, 9 bombs are dropped in 3 columns to form a 3 X 3 formation. The 3 bombs in the middle column will explode first, thus players should move either north or south to the 2 columns of the bombs on the side. After the bombs in the centre have exploded, players should return to the middle of the boss room to avoid the bombs on the sides.
