Bone Dragon

The Bone Dragon has the following moves and abilities:

Attack Name	Description
Dark Wave	Periodic AoE centered on the boss. If you're ranged, stay back to avoid this.
????	Targeted AoE on a random player. Hits all other players around them.
Platinals	Skeletal adds will spawn periodically in groups of 2 at the center of the room. These adds must be killed in seperate locations from each other and previous Platinal corpses. Best method is to drag each platinal down a different line of platforms.
"Death" of Bone Dragon	When the Bone Dragon dies, the Platinals will come back to life with Heavy and begin walking towards the boss and must be killed before they reach him. If they are not killed, they will explode. If adds are not killed before Bone Dragon dies or they die too close to another Platinal, they will not have Heavy and will sprint towards the boss, making it much harder to kill them in time. Once all adds are dead or exploded, the boss will revive and everything repeats a second time.
Rotting Eyes	Rotting Eyes spawn after the second Bone Dragon death instead of Platinals. Have the extra tanks hold onto these adds while the group burns the boss down for a final death.

Advice and Tips

Make sure you're standing on the raised platforms to avoid the poison floor goop.
With decent shields and a high level, it is possible to survive the Platinal explosions; many groups will just ignore them or only kill a few and allow the rest to explode.

Chest

Thanatos

Before you get to the boss, you are faced with 3 entrances with a raised platform at one end and an Atomos add at the other. Alliance A should go left, Alliance B should go center, and Alliance C should go right. 4 players must be standing on each of the raised platforms; you can tell if enough players are on it as the platform will glow. This will remove the invulnerability on another group's Atomos and allow them to attack it. If there are not enough people standing on the platform, the Atomos will summon a powerful add that hits extremely hard and is very difficult to kill. Healers and Ranged DPS should prioritize standing on the platform; tanks can't be one of them as they are required to tank the adds that the Atomos spits out occasionally.

The 3 remaining DPS that aren't on the platform should prioritize attacking the Atomos, ignoring the adds that appear. Tanks should aggro these adds and bring them about halfway between the Atomos and the glowing platform (if there are melee on the platform, bring it close enough for them to be able to hit the adds) and turn them to the side as the adds will either do frontal cleaves, backside cleaves, or a mix of both, leaving only the sides as general safe spots.

Once your groups Atomos is dead, ensure that you stay on the platform until it is no longer glowing, which indicates the Atomos that was linked to that platform is dead.

Thanatos has the following moves and abilities:

Attack Name	Description
Magic Pots	Before you even start the fight, you will notice that there are 3 pots at North, Southwest, and Southeast. Alliance A should be in charge of Southwest, Alliance B in charge of North, and Alliance C in charge of Southeast. The pots are friendly and targetable and must be kept alive throughout the fight as they grant a group Astral Realignment, which is necessary to damage the boss.
Pot Chains	Occasionally, Thanatos will chain a pot to him and it will hop towards him saying "Gimme a cure!" Once the pot is topped off, it will return to its platform. If the pot reaches the boss, it will be destroyed.
Astral Realignment	A debuff received from the Magic Pots. Lasts for 1 minute, turning players ghostly and allowing them to damage the boss. Players without the debuff cannot damage the boss. At around ~10 seconds left, it will be granted to the next group in the lineup, giving them a chance to swap from adds to the boss and allowing the tank to Provoke it off of the previous tank.
Sandman	Spawn in the center of the room and are tethered to a Magic Pot. They will slowly advance towards a pot and must be killed before they reach it. If they reach a pot, they will deal damage until they or the pot dies.
Nemesis	Succubus' that spawn ocassionally. They can be aggroed and run around doing various AoEs and frontal cones, potentially hitting Magic Pots.

Advice and Tips

If all pots die, it is effectively a wipe as you will no longer have a way to damage the boss.
Alliance A will always receive Astral Realignment first, followed by B and then C before it repeats.
Groups without the Astral Realignment debuff are in charge of killing adds and keeping them off of Magic Pots. While healers should be trying to keep their own pot alive, while they are on the boss another group may need to top off their pot for them.

Chest

King Behemoth

Before you reach King Behemoth, you will come across 3 Vasagos tethered to an Allagan Bomb in the center. Alliance A should be in charge of the Southwest Vasago, Alliance B in charge of North, and Alliance C in charge of Southeast. It is extremely important that players do not attack the Allagan Bomb in the center as it will explode and wipe the group if damaged too much before the Vasagos die.

Players need to keep the Vasagos separated as being too close together will cause the Bomb to explode. Twice, the adds will use a giant AoE skill at around the same time that will leave a massive lava puddle behind. Groups should move clockwise when this happens to avoid bringing the Vasagos too close together.

During the fight, Allagan Balloons and Allagan Napalms will spawn. The Balloons will wander haphazardly around the room and can be aggroed, eventually exploding if they are not killed soon enough. The Napalms will make a (slow) beeline for the Bomb in the center of the room where it will explode.

Once the Vasagos are dead, you can kill the Bomb in the center and unlock the next boss.

King Behemoth has the following moves and abilities along with attacks/mechanics seen throughout the fight:

Attack Name	Description
Trounce	A frontal cone that is extremely long. Keep the boss facing a wall so you don't cleave the Alliances.
Thunderbolt	AoE centered on the tank. Deals moderate lightning damage.
Ecliptic Meteor	Behemoth will rear up and yell "Grrraaaaaarrrghhh!" At this point, all players should put a Comet between themselves and Behemoth. If you do not, you will be hit with 9,999 damage and will die. It will destroy all the comets on the field.
Towers	Before you even start the fight, you will notice that there are 4 towers at Southwest, Southeast, Northwest, and Northeast. Assign a player to it that will tag it whenever the tower starts flashing red. This will discharge the energy and deal 300 damage to whoever touched it. If the tower reaches full charge (after 3 rings light up) it will do a room wide AoE that hits for a fair amount of damage.
Electrocution	Debuff that deals constant lightning damage throughout the fight. Unavoidable.
Tornadoes	AoEs that spawn around the edges of the room. Avoid standing in them or take heavy damage.
Comets	Marked by a glowing, pulsing, green marker over a players head. This should be dropped away from the center and not on Behemoth himself. Can be damaged by Iron Giants and Puroboros.
Puroboros	Bomb adds that will make their way to a Tower. If they reach one, they will cast self-destruct. Two hits of self-destruct will destroy the tower (which is bad).
Iron Giant	A giant Dullahan add that spawns at fixed points around the room, starting at the North, then East, and finally South. Must be tanked and kept away from the Comets. On spawn, it will move to the nearest comet.

Advice and Tips

Behemoth should be tanked at the north end of the arena to avoid cleaving the Alliance with various attacks.
Tanks' ultimate defensive abilities can avoid the damage from Ecliptic Meteor, and Warriors generally have enough health they can live through it if they get topped off immediately after.
If a Comet is inside of Behemoth's hitbox, do not stand in it to avoid Ecliptic Meteor. You will still be hit by the skill as the Comet isn't actually hiding you from the boss.
With the speed that high-item level groups can kill the boss, Comets drop much faster and Ecliptic Meteor happens very suddenly, so be prepared to move quickly!

Chest

Phlegethon

Attack Name	Description
Platforms	Before you even start the fight, you will notice that there are 3 platforms around the edges of the room. Alliance A should take the West platform, Alliance B the South platform, and Alliance C the East platform. During the majority of the fight, these will be covered in lava and you will be unable to stand on it without taking heavy damage. Just before Phelgethon casts Ancient Flare, the platforms will become uncovered.
Ancient Flare	The most important move of the fight. When the boss starts casting this, you must run to your group's respective Platform. All 3 groups must stand on their respective platforms to create a barrier to prevent the damage from Ancient Flare. Failure to bring up the barrier will cause a wipe, and standing inside the barrier with the boss will kill you. Standing inside after this goes off will damage the player. Happens around ~60% and ~30%.
AoEs	Very obvious AoEs Phlegethon spawns around him. Each type gets more complex (bigger/wider) as the fight progresses. There are 4 types: Cotton candy cones: just a conal AoE centered on the boss. Grows more cones. Licorice whips: red/black curved lines centered on the boss. Grows more lines. Bacon weave: a reddish weave filled with holes that players can stand in. A plain, 150° AoE.
Iron Claws	Grab a random player, generally the nearest person. Immobilizes and slowly suffocates the player. Must be killed to free them.
Iron Giant	Spawns during the barrier phase after Ancient Flare. Must be tanked. Deals heavy damage and has frontal cleaves; face away from the group on the platform.

Advice and Tips

Keep an eye on the lava on the outer rim. With the massive amount of DPS possible with high-item level groups, this will come up very quickly and you may not be able to tell based on HP% as your group burns past it.
GO TO YOUR PLATFORM when he casts Ancient Flare. Staying will only kill you and potentially cause a wipe if other players stay as well. It's best to run early once you see the Platforms revealed.
Dodge everything.
