General Mechanics
- Barnabas
- Get pushed or pulled out of AoEs that Barnabas casts. There will be a second AoE following the first with the same radius.
- Lugae
- Two panels will spawn on the arena. Green will turn players into Toads, while purple will turn players Mini. Stepping in it again will turn players back.
- Use Mini to dodge Magitek Chakram and turn into toads to avoid being killed by Downpour's Breathless debuff.
- Anima
- The Lunar Nails will form a square shape, which will do an AoE.
- Run away from your tethered orb to avoid being sucked in.
- Dodge the line AoEs that come from the nails spawning on the edge of the arena.

Quick Tips for Tanks
- Tank busters are few and far between, so cycle cooldowns on trash.
- Position Lugae in the center of the arena to ensure that players have easy access to both panels.
4.
Quick Tips for Healers
- This dungeon has an emphasis on raid damage rather than tank damage, so use AoE heals to top everyone off in case they get hit by mechanics.
- Make sure to heal the party after phase two of Anima, as there will be heavy incoming damage.
5.
Quick Tips for DPS
- Use AoE during trash pulls!
- Anima is omni-directional.
