The Temple of the Fist

Lore

"Countless monks once shed their blood, sweat, and tears here all in the name of strengthening their bond with Rhalgr, the Destroyer. As time passed, the very route to the Inner Fist became a grueling test for those hoping to train their body and soul atop the perilous mountain. Now the time has come for you to follow in their footsteps. Accompanied by an avid scholar named Marjorie, you focus your sights on the temple and steel yourself for the trials that lie ahead."

Coeurl Smriti

Courl Smriti is a straight forward Boss. His attack are based on claws and jumping without a marker. He will also uses AoE around him called "Radial Blaster", if you get hit by it, you gain stacks of "Magical Damage received up".

At around 77% he will summon his minion Coeurl Sruti who will claw and jump around

All the while the Boss wont move so the tank can move as well.

You encounter two wave of soldiers named

The Way of the Fist (Monk)

The Way of the Blade (Paladin)

The Way of the Lance (Dragoon)

accompanied by a Spirit Flame.

The Spirit Flame will randomly move towards one player, causing an AoE, so you better dodge it.

As you make way inside the temple, you encounter a few Couerl Prana and another

group of soldier, this time accompanied by two Spirit Flames, double the dodging - twice the fun.

Eventually you reach 'Guidance' and encounter Ivon Ceorulfist,

The fight is on a square plattform with no borders, so you can fall down and can't be raised.

Ivon Ceorulfist
