— In-game description

Basic Instinct is an action unlocked at level 1. It is available for Blue Mage.

Flavor Text

A behavior learned from certain species of coeurl, the caster rises to the challenge of losing comrades by tapping into a feral survival instinct. When all seems lost, or when simply treading where a lone mage was not meant to tread, unrestrained ferocity is sometimes the only way to win through

Acquisition

Open World

Master Coeurl from Upper La Noscea (x8.9, y21.4)

Duties

Coeurl Smriti from Temple of the Fist

Tips

Acquisition Tips

Master Coeurl uses this immediately. Wait for it to finish casting before slaying it. May take a few tries.
Coeurl Smriti casts it if both Coeurls don't die together.

Other Tips

Casting a debuff such as Addle or Off-guard will grab a enemy's attention without dealing damage.
