The Porta Decumana		Trial Patch 6.1
Making your way through the Praetorium, you sweep aside wave after wave of defenders before finally coming face-to-face with Gaius van Baelsar himself. Unable to overcome you by his own hands, the Black Wolf takes control of the Ultima Weapon and sets upon you once more. Do what you have come to do, and see that the magitek monstrosity never threatens Eorzea again. Requirements: Must be on, or have completed, The Ultimate Weapon. Restrictions: 60 minutes Cutscene start. Gaius van Baelsar Bear witness to the true power of the Ultima Weapon! Cutscene end. Gaius van Baelsar The Ultima Weapon has partaken of the power of eikons! None can stand against it! Kneel to the might below! The land itself is mine to wield! Be entombed in earth! Hydaelyn Hear... Feel... Think... Thy foe is Darkness clad in steel. If thou wouldst triumph, thou must look to the Light. Gaius van Baelsar Titan's essence...torn from the Ultima Weapon!? No matter─it still harbors the might of other eikons! Yield to the storm! The wind is at my beck and call! Naught can pierce the raging tempest! Hydaelyn Once more, crystal bearer. Look to the Light to vanquish the Darkness. Gaius van Baelsar Garuda's as well!? Impossible! But the Ultima Weapon is not spent of eikon power yet! Succumb to the flames! So this is the strength of the eikon-slayer... Very well, let us see how you fare when the Ultima Weapon's power inhibitor is disengaged! Naught will remain of you but ash! Hydaelyn Yield not to the Darkness, my child. Pray to the Crystal with all thy being. Gaius van Baelsar No! How...how are you doing this!? Cutscene start. Gaius van Baelsar But the Ultima Weapon is all-powerful! Why does my enemy still stand!? Can her strength truly be so great? Lahabrea It is the blessing of Light that confounds you. Gaius van Baelsar Lahabrea. Lahabrea Your foe acts under the protection of the Crystal she bears. Gaius van Baelsar So, this is what empowers her. Lahabrea Beyond mortal limits. If you are to prevail, the hammer of Darkness must needs be brought to bear upon the shield of Light. And so it shall, for the Ultima Weapon is host to a power of which you are as yet ignorant. Gaius van Baelsar Speak plainly, Ascian. Lahabrea The Heart of Sabik. It is the Weapon's core─an enigma whose surface even the vaunted scholars of ancient Allag failed to scratch. The magic within has lain dormant for eons. Gaius van Baelsar Of what magic do you speak? Lahabrea A spell without parallel. Ultima. I sought the life force of the primals for no other reason but to quicken the core. For the true power of the Ultima Weapon lies within its now-beating Heart! Gaius van Baelsar Lahabrea... What have you done? Lahabrea No more than was necessary...for my god to be reborn. Gaius van Baelsar Damn you, Ascian! Lahabrea The hour is at hand! Behold but a sliver of my god's power! And from the deepest pit of the seven hells to the very pinnacle of the heavens, the world shall tremble! Unleash Ultima! Ahahahahahaha! Gaius van Baelsar Such devastation... This was not my intention... Lahabrea Oh, Hydaelyn...it seems the task of keeping Your champion alive has exhausted what strength You had left. Van Baelsar... Your enemy's shield is broken. The rest I leave to you. Gaius van Baelsar We will speak later, Ascian. But first, I must deal with you. The question of who is mightier remains! Come, adventurer! Let us find the answer together! Cutscene end. Gaius van Baelsar We settle this once and for all! I need not the power of eikons to defeat you! Gaze upon true power! This is most...unexpected. You are possessed of great might, this I will allow. Yet yours is not the might of a ruler! Such is the difference between us─a difference that will assure my victory! U-Ultima!? Curse you, Ascian! How much destruction must be wreaked before you are sated!? Hydaelyn I have not the strength...to shield thee again... Permit not the manifestation of that vile magick...lest Darkness prevail! Cutscene start. Gaius van Baelsar No... No, no, NO! Uh! Heed me... The subjects of a weak ruler must needs look to a higher power for providence...and their dependence comes at a cost to the realm. The misguided elevate the frail... And the frail lead the people astray. Unless a man of power wrests control...the cycle will never be broken. You... You of all people must see the truth in this. You who have the strength to rule...
