BOSS FIGHT - UL LYON

CONTEXT

Ul Lyon is Urianger, in a sense. He is the primal will and desires of Urianger. He is also reconstructed by magic at the very core of Eorzea, so he is not a regular Primal. Some may call him a God, but he hates that title.

ARENA

His arena would be at the end of a dungeon - the World Tree. At the top, he'd wait. Square arena, walled at first. Ul Lyon tends to spawn at one of the four sides. Between phases, he'll move to another side.

PHASE ONE

Regular Attacks

• Malefaja - normal attack.
• Shadow Flare - same as it used to be for players, targets healer with highest aggro. (If healers down, it goes OT, then DPS by aggro.)
• Painflare XIV - Tankbuster. Has a 45 degree target.

Illusion Spells - these four are known as the Illusion spells - they go in order first, but then are randomly chosen.

• Prominence - Full-arena. Attacks in rows.
• Tempest - Markers need to be dropped and then they expand.
• Freezeblink - Makes arena slippery, then makes you dodge.
• Rockfall - Full-arena, except for small circle marks you need to stack in.

PHASE CHANGE: Divination - Phase Change I. Poison effect (minor) as Ul Lyon glows, and stamps down. Also appears to heal him by 4-5 percent. All illusion, though.

PHASE TWO

• All above skills, plus:
• Magick Frenzy - a Doublecast. Tankbuster and then Illusion Spell.
• Sect Change - reverses how to dodge the Illusionist skills - Prominence comes from opposite side, Tempest is now a chasing attack, Freezeblink is now a stand-still skill, and Rockfall is regular random AOEs. Use again to return to normal. Has an indicator on health bar.
• Synastric Chains - regular chain mechanic.

PHASE CHANGE: Summon XIV - Summon orbs make the area go white and then Ul Lyon seems to be gone, but Tu Lyon poofs up and becomes more dangerous-looking. (Dungeon boss before?) The arena edges now become vulnrable - if they're hit more then three times by a player or a skill, they collapse. Tu Lyon also can randomly teleport around, like Nabriales.

ADD PHASE

• Cinquedea - regular attack.
• Take Aim - next attack crits. Cinquedea becomes a tankbuster.
• Dagger Toss - directional AOE, has to be blocked or it'll damage a wall.
• Ring Toss - freezes character in place, gaze attack, no damage.
• Westward Wind - blows people east/left by half the platform, does damage.
• Eastward Gale - blows people east/left by half the platform, does damage.
• Smile - stack for damage, attacks 6 times in a row.
• Bonecrusher - don't attack for 5 seconds or it'll be reflected back at you.
• Steal Limelight - look at him or you get knocked back.

PHASE CHANGE: Stardust - Lowers all HP to 1 HP, but removes all negative buffs. Also knocks out the arena walls fully.

PHASE THREE

PHASE BEGIN: Not only will you resume trial from here if you fail, but you'll get a full heal. He becomes full beast, with a voice line. "If you'll not slaughter an ally, then..." Ul Lyon also will not auto-aggro.

• All above skills, plus:
• Magick Frenzy II - Doublecast again - but two Illusionist skills. Uses Sect Change in the middle.
• Revive - Tu Lyon uses one of his skills. Can be interrupted by attacking the place it comes from.
• Blood Price - his final ultimate attack, when at 2 percent. Need to kill or he'll use his enrage.

ENRAGE TIMER: Death of the Rift - insta-death, one at a time, using the FFTA death appearing and taking them.

END OF BATTLE: Ul Lyon returns to Urianger, and doesn't say anything. He has no words left. He simply kneels, and lets himself fade away.
