Bosses
Hecatoncheir Mastermind
Hecatoncheir Mastermind will use Darkfire every 45 - 60 seconds. The fire will cover a portion of the platform, forcing players to move down further down the bridge. Whenever Hecatoncheir uses Darkfire, a Flamebeau (bomb type monster) spawns. The Flamebeau will attempt to move towards the fire. Kill the Flamebeau ASAP. If it reaches the burning ground, it will explode and kill all players. If it is left alone it will self-destruct and wipe the party. Stun the bomb if necessary.
- Do not let Flamebeau touch the burning ground casted by the boss.
- Kill Flamebeau ASAP or it will explode and insta-kill the entire party.
Gogmagolem
Gogmagolem is a spriggan operating a rock giant. The boss not only has very high defense, it will also move back and forth in the boss room.
In the boss room, there is a object named Improved Blasting Device. One of your party member should operate the Device to spawn a Waymaker Bomb. That player should pick up the bomb. When it says it is going to explode in 5 seconds, place it in the path of the Gogmagolem. This is the main method of damaging the boss. Black bombs will also spawn near the Blasting Device and the center of the room. These will Self-Destruct, so move away quickly.
The other DPS should focus on killing all of the Kindling Sprites that spawn around the edges of the room.
When the Golem dies, the spprigan named Biggy will spawn. Kill Biggy and move away from very large bombs because these bombs will explode in a very large radius.
Ouranos
Non-tank players should not stand in front of the boss. Avoid its circular AoE attacks and kill Giga adds when they spawn.
Occasionally, a Sand Worm will spawn. When the text "The abyss worm is searching for fodder" appears on screen, one of the players should pick up the object Crystallized Rock and place it somewhere in the sand. Players should move away from the rock to avoid taking damage from the Sand Worm. If the rock is not placed, the Sand Worm will cast Bottomless Desert and pull all players to the middle of the room and deal heavy damage to all players.

Lore
Thanks to the valiant efforts of Eorzea's adventurers, the horrific hecatoncheires were purged from Copperbell Mines. Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern would waste no time in resuming efforts to expand the mines donward in an attempt to tap yet-undiscovered veins of valuable metal. The dark depths of Copperbell Mines would reveal not precious ore, however, but a faction of the hecatoncheires clan yet to be expelled from the mines. Adventurers the realm over must band together once more to rid Copperbell Mines of these brutish barbarians once and for all.
Freed from three hundred years of imprisonment, the hecatoncheires seized and held control of Copperbell Mines, until Eorzea’s adventurers put an end to their revolt. Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern resumed operations almost immediately, dispatching engineers into the deepest shafts. However, in a not altogether surprising development, the engineers have gone missing, and another band of hecatoncheires is believed to be responsible.
