Archaeotania is a level 80 Kill Boss belonging to the The Head, the Tail, the Whole Damned Thing Boss FATE.

Tips and Tricks

  • Wind Slash: 5-6 subsequent circle AoEs on 5-6 random players.
  • Blizzard Breath: Long, cone AoE pointed at a random player. Targets hit will be inflicted with Deep Freeze for 10 seconds.
  • Flames of the Apocalypse: Donut AoE. Targets hit will be inflicted with Burns for 12 seconds.
  • Mind Blast: Melee AoE. Targets hit will be inflicted with Paralysis for 10 seconds.
  • Civilization Buster: Line AoE from Archaeotania's position. Only used when Archaeotania is flying around the stage.
  • Touchdown: Proximity AoE. Immediately follows with Blizzard Breath.
  • Tidal Wave: 3 icicles drop in random spots followed by a long knockback from the geyser on a side of the stage, then the 3 icicles dash at 3 random players, then 3 small, slow-moving tornadoes spawn. Getting hit by a tornado knocks you back a short distance and applies Windburn for 14 seconds.
    • Knockbacks can be nullified with skills like Arm's Length and Surecast.
  • Megaflare: Stack AoEs on 2-3 random players.
  • When Archaeotania drops below 60% HP it will teleport away and summon 3 Ancient Aevis adds. Keep an eye out for Civilization Busters while killing them.
  • Gigaflare: Enrage. When Archaeotania drops below 15% HP it spawns 3 Aether adds and tethers itself to them, making itself invulnerable until all 3 Aether adds are killed. Players have 120 seconds to kill these adds and Archaeotania.
