The Twinning		Dungeon Patch 5.0
Since its sudden appearance in Norvrandt, the Crystal Tower has been a source of great mystery, one which the people of the Crystarium have barely begun to unravel. Now that the city is free from the threat of the Lightwardens, researchers have been afforded the opportunity to explore the innermost reaches of the tower, though they soon found their way barred by hordes of ferocious guardians. An aetherial disturbance detected from inside is believed to be in some way linked to their appearance, and you have been tasked with not only clearing a path for the researchers, but with investigating the cause of the anomaly.

Alpha Zaghnal

Attack Name Description Cages Can be broken with Forlorn Impact, Pounce Errant, and Charge Eradicated, releasing the Beta Zaghnal within. Beta Zaghnal Trapped in Cages. When freed, they will attack players and can be aggroed. Too many at once can easily overwhelm the tank and healer with all of the other AoEs happening at once. Augurium Frontal cone tankbuster. Deals moderate damage. Avoid standing in front. Beastly Roar Roomwide AoE. Forlorn Impact The boss stands up on its back legs and pulls the sword from its back. Each player will be marked with a series of 1-4 swords over their heads, indicating the order of attacks, with 1 sword meaning they'll be hit first. When all players have been marked, the boss will turn to the first sword player and slam his sword in their direction, using a long line AoE with the player at the center. He will repeat this for all four players in sequence. If any of the line AoEs hit a Cage, they will free the Beta Zaghnal within. Pounce Errant 3-4 players will be marked with a large yellow AoE circle. The boss will then leap to whoever had the mark first and continue in sequence before walking back to the MT. Spread out to avoid hitting other players and avoid stacking on any players or Cages. Charge Eradicated Obvious stack mechanic. Used twice in a row. The boss will leap to the target and on hit leave behind a large puddle AoE that deals continuous bleed damage while standing inside of it. Advice and Tips Try to position Charge Eradicated away from the boss so that melee can use their positionals without having to dodge puddles. Chest

Mithridates

Attack Name Description Thunder Beam Tankbuster. Deals moderate damage. Electric Discharge Summons numerous electric orbs around the arena. After a short delay, they explode, dealing damage in a small AoE around them. Being hit deals damage and applies a Vulnerability stack. Later on combined with Laserblade. Laserblade The boss moves to the middle and begins casting this ability. 6 long line AoEs will appear on the floor, leaving 4 slivers of safe spot around the boss and some longer strips around the edge of the arena. Being hit deals damage and applies a Vulnerability stack. Later, 2 of the slivers near the boss will have an Electric Discharge orb on them, forcing players to move to one of the other spots. Allagan Thunder Marks each player with a medium AoE. Spread out to avoid extra damage and avoid standing with other players. Later on combined with Laserblade. Advice and Tips When Allagan Thunder comes into play during Laserblade, players can stack 2 Thunders together if necessary, especially if they're also avoiding Electric Discharge. Chest

The Tycoon

Attack Name Description Temporal Stasis Freezes Magitek Crossray and Defensive Array into chunky line AoEs. Stepping into these AoEs while they are frozen sets them off early, dealing heavy room-wide AoE damage to all players and applying a Vulnerability stack to the player that activated the AoE. Hitting 3 of these is enough to easily kill a group. Magitek Crossray The boss shoots 4 line AoEs from its front, sides, and back that are frozen by Temporal Stasis into short lines. When Temporal Stasis wears off, these will continue all the way to the edge of the arena, dealing damage and applying a Vulnerability stack to players caught in it. Defensive Array Shoots 2-4 line AoEs from random positions around the arena that are frozen by Temporal Stasis into short lines. When Temporal Stasis wears off, these will continue all the way to the edge of the arena, dealing damage and applying a Vulnerability stack to players caught in it. Artificial Gravity Summons numerous tiny red and black AoEs in patterns around the arena. After a few seconds, they expand into giant AoEs, forcing players to move if they were standing too close to one. Rail Cannon Tankbuster. Magicrystal Marks each player with a medium orange AoE. Spread to avoid hitting others and avoid stacking together. High-tension Discharger Room-wide AoE. Advice and Tips It can be easier to dodge the AoEs by standing closer to the edge of the arena as you have a better view of the entire floor from there. Just be careful about getting boxed in! You can sidestep around Magitek Crossray and Defensive Array during Temporal Stasis if you need to adjust your position, just don't touch the AoEs themselves. It's possible to have 2-4 of these mechanics happening at once; identify where the lines will be going and determine where the safe spot from the other AoEs will be within the space free of line AoEs.

Notes

The Twinning dungeon guide by Xenedra Ironworks Datalog 2.5 Our only hope lies in the Crystal Tower, though it did not yield its secrets easily. Even opening the doors was a monumental undertaking. Without the founder's datalogs and the NOAH reports left by the Sons of Saint Coinach, we would never have stood a chance of succeeding. None of us were prepared for the spectacle that awaited us when we first stepped into the tower. To be surrounded by the marvels of a lost age took our breath away. And there, at its center, we found him. Ironworks Datalog 3.5 Our research into the Emperor's Throne is almost complete, as we now understand the methods used to open a doorway to the World of Darkness, otherwise known as the Thirteenth. However, this is only the beginning of our plan. Even if we find a way to the First, it is already too late to prevent the Eighth Umbral Calamity. For that, we must travel not only to another world, but to another time. Thankfully, the datalogs gathered over the years, detailing battles with various primals, pointed us in the right direction. Ironworks Datalog 4.5 Just as we thought the pieces were in place, we came to the realization that traversing time and space has its...difficulties. It is one thing to possess the technology necessary to enable such a feat, quite another to actually perform it. The interdimensional rift, as it was called in the founder's datalogs, is what I can only describe as “infinite chaos.” To navigate it would take expertise far beyond our ken. There was, however, once a being capable of exactly that: The one known as “Omega.” And yet, despite all of the research carried out, the mystery of how it was able to cross the rift remains unsolved.
