'''Set the Stage'''
*'''Elegant Evisceration''' - Tankbuster


Hesperos drops a curtain on one, three, or four quarters of the field.  After a short time the curtain glows red, then disappears, revealing one of four elemental wells he uses for his next attack.  Set the Stage appears to deal no damage.
*'''Setting the Stage''' - Hesperos drops a curtain on one, three, or four quarters of the field.  After a short time the curtain glows red, then disappears, revealing one of four elemental quadrants he uses for his next attack.  Setting the Stage itself deals no damage.

'''Pinax'''
*'''Pinax''' - One of the four elemental wells flares with power. Then an attack lands depending on what well discharged. Touching one of the wells will also inflict a status effect: '''Electrocution''' for lightning, '''Dropsy''' for water, '''Pollen''' for poison, and '''Burns''' for lava.


One of the four elemental wells flares with power. Then an attack lands depending on what well discharged.
If the lightning quadrant activates, he is preparing '''Levinstrike Pinax'''. This is a proximity-based attack focused on the center of the arena. Move to a corner to take as little damage as possible. This version of '''Pinax''' is always the first one seen.


The first well will always be lightning. This attack deals damage to everyone close to the center, and one shot kills anyone who isn't in a corner.
If the water quadrant activates, he is preparing '''Well Pinax'''. This is a knockback focused on the center of the arena. This is always the second version of the attack to appear.


The second well to appear will always be water. This attack pushes everyone from the center, and anyone too close to the edge is pushed into the spikes and dies.
If the poison quadrant activates, he is preparing '''Acid Pinax''', which will place spread markers on everyone. Players cannot survive more than one of these attacks, so spreading out is crucial. This is always the thirs version of the attack to appear.


The third well is always acid, and puts spread markers on everyone. Anyone hit by two acid sprays dies, but this attack is very slow and easy to handle.
If the lava quadrant activates, he is preparing '''Lava Pinax''', which will place a stack marker on a random raid member. This version of the attack will not appear until all others have been seen.


The fourth well is always magma, and puts a stack marker on a random raid member.
-----


*'''Decollation''' - Heavy raidwide damage.


'''<direction> Bound'''
* '''<Direction> Shift''' - Hesperos puts a marker on the edge of the arena, in the direction indicated. If there is a '''sword''' over the marker, he'll do an extremely wide cone attack that hits the entire field.  This attack deals extreme damage and is a one shot kill on anyone who already has a vulnerability stack. If there is a '''cloak''' over the marker, he'll do a burst push from the marker that hits the entire field.  This attack pushes anyone who isn't directly in front of the marker into the spikes, killing them.


Hesperos puts a marker to the north, south, east, or west, depending on the direction of the attack.
* '''Bloodrake''' - Hesperos drains the aether from everyone, doing moderate raidwide damage. Then he does one of two attacks.


If there is a sword over the marker, he'll do an extremely wide cone attack that hits the entire field. This attack deals extreme damage and is a one shot kill on anyone who already has a vulnerability stack.
*'''Belone Coils''' - Four meteor circles appear in the center of the arena, each marked with a crossed-out role icon. At least one player must take each meteor, but players who take a meteor matching their role icon will be killed. Each meteor not successfully caught will inflict one vuln stack.


If there is a cloak over the marker, he'll do a burst push from the marker that hits the entire field. This attack pushes anyone who isn't directly in front of the marker into the spikes, killing them.
*'''Belone Bursts''' - Green orbs appear around the outskirts of the arena, and each one will tether to a player. Like the meteor circles, these orbs will be marked with anti-role icons. Players must pop orbs of other roles, but each one touched will inflict one stack of '''Thrice-come Ruin''', which will wear off shortly after the mechanic resolves.


 
As the fight progresses, Hesperos will start combining '''Setting the Stage''' with '''Bloodrake''', meaning players will have to perform '''Pinax''' and '''Belone''' mechanics simultaneously.
 
'''Aether drain?'''
 
Hesperos drains the Aether from everyone, doing raidwide aoe damage.  Then he does one of two attacks.
 
If he puts meteor markers on the field, each meteor has to be caught by a raid member or he will inflict extreme damage on the entire raid.  However!  Each meteor will have a role symbol above it with a red X.  If a member of that role catches that meteor, they will be instantly killed.
 
If he puts green orbs around the outskirts of the board, each will tether to a player and chase them.  Each meteor has an anti-role marker above them for the role of the player they're tethered to.  Players should intercept the orbs targeting a role different from themselves.  If you touch an orb that matches your role, you die.  Also, if you touch three different orbs, you die.

The perpetrator of the chaos in Asphodelos is revealed to be none other than its keyward Hesperos. Once known for his kindness to both warders and captives alike, he now appears before you as an amalgamation of mythic beast and man─a hemitheos. Drunk with devotion to Lahabrea and dripping venom for Erichthonios, Asphodelos's keeper may too be its most fearsome creation...

— In-game description

Asphodelos: The Fourth Circle is a level 90 raid introduced in patch 6.01 with Endwalker.

Phases & Abilities

Aggressive difficulty r6.png Hemitheos: Hesperos

A very straightforward fight with numerous simple to handle attacks that can one-shot players if not handled properly.

  • Elegant Evisceration - Tankbuster
  • Setting the Stage - Hesperos drops a curtain on one, three, or four quarters of the field. After a short time the curtain glows red, then disappears, revealing one of four elemental quadrants he uses for his next attack. Setting the Stage itself deals no damage.

  • Pinax - One of the four elemental wells flares with power. Then an attack lands depending on what well discharged. Touching one of the wells will also inflict a status effect: Electrocution for lightning, Dropsy for water, Pollen for poison, and Burns for lava.

If the lightning quadrant activates, he is preparing Levinstrike Pinax. This is a proximity-based attack focused on the center of the arena. Move to a corner to take as little damage as possible. This version of Pinax is always the first one seen.

If the water quadrant activates, he is preparing Well Pinax. This is a knockback focused on the center of the arena. This is always the second version of the attack to appear.

If the poison quadrant activates, he is preparing Acid Pinax, which will place spread markers on everyone. Players cannot survive more than one of these attacks, so spreading out is crucial. This is always the thirs version of the attack to appear.

If the lava quadrant activates, he is preparing Lava Pinax, which will place a stack marker on a random raid member. This version of the attack will not appear until all others have been seen.


  • Decollation - Heavy raidwide damage.
  • <Direction> Shift - Hesperos puts a marker on the edge of the arena, in the direction indicated. If there is a sword over the marker, he'll do an extremely wide cone attack that hits the entire field. This attack deals extreme damage and is a one shot kill on anyone who already has a vulnerability stack. If there is a cloak over the marker, he'll do a burst push from the marker that hits the entire field.

As the fight progresses, Hesperos will start combining Setting the Stage with Bloodrake, meaning players will have to perform Pinax and Belone mechanics simultaneously.
