Bozja Dalriada Guide in FFXIV

The Dalriada is a special dungeon in Zadnor that can be taken on and completed by up to 48 players. Players will receive a scaling echo buff when attempting it with 24 players or less, and with enough honor buffs as well as proper usage of Lost Actions, skilled players will be able to clear the duty with as few as two players.

In order to unlock Dalriada, players must first attain Resistance Rank 25 and begin the quest March of the Bloody Queen. They will then be able to see Dalriada in the Resistance Recruitment tab of the Duty UI, and will be able to join it in the same way as any other Critical Engagement.

• Like CLL, Dalriada has a 60 minute respawn timer, with the timer starting once the duty is completed, and this timer can be sped up by completing Skirmishes and other CEs, so an active instance will often only see 25-30 minutes between Dalriada runs.
• Additionally, like CLL, Dalriada has an independent spawn timer and can be available for registration and engagement alongside regular Critical Engagements. It has a total registration and deployment period of eight minutes.
• Dalriada initially has a 20 minute time limit; however, players will gain extra time whenever a boss is defeated.

Players should prepare suitable Lost Actions for this duty. Everyone should use an Essence of some kind, as they are easily accessible and can provide extra beneficial effects to other Lost Actions. Damaging actions are always beneficial, but healing or resurrection actions are extremely helpful when playing with a smaller party or without healers. First-time participants should aim to have at least one Resistance Reraiser to hand in order to mitigate lethal mistakes.

Upon entering the duty, players will see a Lost Finds Cache next to the player spawn location. Unlike CLL, this cannot be returned to once players are inside the Dalriada itself.

Upon entering the duty, participants should ensure that they are grouped into parties. An equal distribution of roles is not necessary, but ensuring all parties have at least one healer and one other player with the ability to raise (either innately or through the use of Lost Actions) will help prevent wipes and ensure that fallen party members can be revived. Phoenix Downs are usable in Bozja, but have a five-minute recast time and so cannot be used reliably.

Players should then split the party roughly one-to-five, with the majority of players staying down to deal with the Boss Gauntlet, while a small group of no more than eight players interacts with one of the Star Chasers and goes to fight Sartauvoir. Similar to CLL, both bosses must be pulled within around 15 seconds of each other, or unkillable adds will spawn that will one-shot all players, forcing a restart. If some players in the duty are particularly powerful, the group may wish to send fewer players to the upper encounter in order to keep damage balanced, though, unlike CLL, there is no enrage timer for either boss fight once one has been killed.

Due to the number of encounters within this duty, they have all been split into separate pages accessible below for ease of reading and reference.

Each chest within The Dalriada provides a number of Bozjan Mythril Coins and Bozjan Platinum Coins, with five Platinum Coins and 40 to 100 Mythril Coins being given overall per run. These coins can be used to purchase ilvl 525 Blade's gear, as well as other rewards.

Additionally, each personal loot coffer has a chance of dropping other rewards including Field Notes, Forgotten Fragments, orchestrion rolls and mounts.

Completing Dalriada also provides 2,174,400 to 3,366,000 Experience, 3,375,000 Mettle, and 500 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics. Players currently progressing the quest Irresistible for the relic weapons will also receive three Raw Emotions.
