You'll begin in Ni-no-Kuruwa and encounter a group of a Doman Hoplomachus and two Doman Laquieriuses. You may pull them onwards to the next group, nine Doman Slashers, as well if you wish.

The gate will open leading you to a Doman Colossus. It's likely best to fight it where it stands, as if you proceed onward you'll be constantly fired upon by a Doman Gunship using Garlean Fire. Another group of a Hoplomachus and two Laquieriuses later, you'll be able to approach the Gunship and two Doman Sky Armors. Outside of the Gunship's continued use of Garlean fire, they don't use anything too special. Knock them out and make your way into The Third Armory to fight the Magitek Rearguard.

Advice and Tips

• All the moves this boss uses are just telegraphed damage, but it will often use multiple attacks at once.
• Keep an eye out for Rearguard Mines; while their hitbox is very small, its easy to run into them.

The next street has Mark XLIII Field Cannons firing down it. Make your way through the barricades, grabbing the group of two Doman Laquieriuses and a Doman Secutor on the way. The next street is much the same, with a Doman Laquierius, Doman Secutor, and Doman Reaper instead amongst the cannons. The Reaper is the more sturdy and troublesome of the lot, and should be focused first. Once they're all gone, make your way to the Training Grounds and the Magitek Hexadrone.

Advice and Tips

• If you hit the Chain Mine, you are highly likely to get knocked into another one, causing a (likely fatal) chain reaction. Try to avoid standing in them!
• Chain Mine and Magitek Missiles will often be combined, so you may need to have someone bait the Mines so you can stand in the Missiles.

Advice and Tips

• Just sidestep Chainsaw to avoid eating the extra damage.
• Players targeted for Gunsaw should just stand still, but make sure there aren't any other players in line between them and the boss as it cleaves.
• Drop Thermobaric Charge away from the party so others don't need to move further to dodge it.
• Tanks can set off the Chain Mine, allowing players who were slow to move or were dropping a Thermobaric Charge to move to the safe side of the arena. If you make it to the right side, when you stand in it it will just catapult you to the safe side of the arena as well.
