Spawn Conditions

Trigger

Each time a Rank S dies in Dawntrail areas, it has a chance to spawn four Crystal Incarnation throughout the zone. Once four of them are killed, Arch Aethereater will spawn.

If they spawn, the game will announce: "The minions of an extraordinarily powerful mark are on the hunt for prey."

They will withdraw exactly 5 minutes after this message if not engaged, or if disengaged by dying.

When all of them are killed, Arch Aethereater will spawn.

Time

Arch Aethereater has no respawn timer. It is randomly decided by the server upon each Dawntrail Rank S death whether it will spawn minions or not. Because of this, if the spawning fails because a minion withdraws it has no effect on any timers. It could theoretically spawn minions after every single Rank S death in Dawntrail in a row if the game decided to randomly do that.

Tips and Tricks

When it spawns, the game will announce "You sense the presence of a powerful mark..."
