Notes
  • This fight is comprised of two phases, with the first being the actual Grand Melee. You must try to hit 100 points (actually 90, but we'll get there) before your opponents can. Occasionally certain units will receive tethers, gaining a bonus to damage but also being worth 10 points instead of the 1 point for defeating them. You'll be joined by several Ishgardian forces that will fight the enemy as well as provide healing, and depending on your class you may try various strategies. As far as defense goes, you can either directly heal your units if possible, or take out any enemy units going after your own tethered units. For offense, area attacks are quite effective at thinning the horde, but one can also focus on taking down tethered enemy units.
  • Regardless of the strategy employed, once you hit 90 points you and Raubahn will receive tethers, and the Iron Bull of Ala Mhigo will take it into his own hands to make it a duel. At this point it becomes a one-on-one fight against Raubahn, with the Eorzean Alliance swiftly working their way up to 90 points to match you regardless of your score earlier in the fight.
  • Raubahn uses the following moves:
    • Bull of Ala Mhigo: Charges at you and inflicts knockback. Try not to get knocked into the ring of fire around the arena, which will inflict Burns.
    • Demoralize: Raubahn will summon a pair of dark circles on the ground. Walking across them will deal damage.
    • Flaming Tizona: Much like Ifrit, Raubahn will summon pillars of flame around the edge of the arena, followed by more pillars of flame in the middle. Just run in to dodge the first salvo, and back out to dodge the second.
    • The Curse: Curved AoE markers will appear around the arena, just find a spot between them.
    • Immortal Flame: Again copying from Ifrit, Raubahn will summon four Tizona adds and start charging. They're quite weak, just take them out as soon as possible to reduce the damage.
  • Once Raubahn falls you'll hit 100 points and be the victor.
